One must remember that this will correlate with the three main parts of the USN Body & Lifestyle Challenge, namely your eating plan, your strategy and your workout routine.

I am sure by now you understand that these three fundamentals are vital and that all three need to be managed carefully and strategically as one. As I mentioned in the My Strategy part of the web site I do recommend a partner of sorts to assist and push you further.

Mentally it does make a huge difference and you end up pushing each other to achieving new results, the other thing is the commitment part. What I mean by that is when you have a gym partner waiting at gym at your agreed time it is a lot more difficult to just not show up for gym, therefore ensuring that both of you are just as committed to the challenge. It is not imperative to have a gym partner but definitely preferred.

Another important factor is to arrange a personal trainer, if not for the duration of the challenge then just for the first week to show you around and also to make sure that you understand and properly execute the workout plan.

I will be splitting this up into two segments, weight (resistance) training and cardio training. I will try and explain my approach & strategy towards both, see below links.

Weight (Resistance) Training
Cardio Training

Just one last thing on this, go to gym with conviction, you are not there to play around, you have 12 weeks to achieve your goal. If you break this down it means you have 12 workouts per body part, that's not much is it? So work every session to its maximum.

See below links as to how I structured my weekly training routine:

• Monday
• Tuesday
• Wednesday
• Thursday
• Friday
• Saturday

Be patient and strategic, if you get this right your results will come.
