Phase 3 - the reveal!


Shredding or cutting isn’t everybody’s goal, but it is nice to try and rip the fat away even more to expose all of that hard work that you have been toiling away at.

Phase 3 – 2 months

This phase was the hardest. It involved getting into some intense cardio fitness classes at the gym, this included the sweaty 45 minute RPM class, the “feel like dying” GRIT strength and a Super gym session that worked on every part of the upper body and abs.



The Super gym session included,
Chest fly’s, incline bicep curls, lateral pull downs, dips and pushups. All of these activities super-setted the exercise with leg raises until the dips and pushups. The dips and pushups were a superset of their own.

For the dips and pushups the goal was this.
Do as many dips as you can, then do the same number of pushups.
Whatever number of pushups or dips you make, you then aimed for one lower for the next round of dips and pushups.
Eventually you would make it to 1 and 1, or you can “break the machine” and push out a higher number of dips and pushups a couple of times consecutively which would also end the test!

Ultimately once you are at phase 3 in the fitness plan, you are ready to try most exercises and start to really tailor a routine that challenges you, keeps fitness fresh and allows you to keep achieving your goals.

Trying new fitness classes will unlock balance skills, cardio variance and a multitude of different exercise to try.


You should now be addicted to this simple thing called fitness…

What are you waiting for? Whichever phase you need to start at…just start!
