Meal 5: 6oz broiled or grilled fish or chicken, or 4oz lean red meat; 1 ¹⁄₂ cups vegetables (broccoli, spinach, green beans, etc.)

Meal 6: Optional

  • UMP Pudding (made with UMP and sugar free pudding mix or sugar free cool whip and berries)... or...
  • UMP Brownie - 2 scoops UMP chocolate, ¹⁄₂ – ¹⁄₂ cup egg substitute (optional), about ¹⁄₂ - ¹⁄₂ cup water (just enough to make a thick bat-ter), a dash of salt.

Take out, top with Cool Whip (like icing –optional) and enjoy.

Note: It’s okay to adjust portions or add or decrease a meal as needed to maintain progress. Do not worry about the particular order of your meals, if you want to eat Meal #1 as your last meal of the day, go ahead, it’s OK. Every 3rd day have 2 tbsp almonds or add 1 tsp peanut butter to your protein shakes.

Beverages: Make sure that you drink at least six to eight 8oz glasses of water each day (that’s four 16oz bottles). Watch out for calories in the liquids you drink, juices and regular soft drinks will sabotage your progress. Limit your beverages to water, coffee, unsweetened tea, diet sodas, and Crystal Light.

Free Foods: You can eat any of the following at any time, without jeopardizing your results: Sugar free gum, sugar-free Jell-O, Splenda, Equal, seasonings, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, salt and pepper.

Keystone #2 Supplements

Essential: Ultimate Muscle Protein and Lean Out will form the foundation of your supplement plan. Take 1-3 UMP shakes per day; and 2 Lean Out capsules every time that you have a meal or shake.

Advanced: If your budget allows or if fat loss is your major goal, add 7-Keto MuscLean. Start your first week with 1 capsule in the A.M. and another in the afternoon. During your second week take
2 capsules in am and 2 more in the afternoon. Week 3 and on: take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Comprehensive: A comprehensive plan for your goal of a bikini beach body would include UMP, Lean Out and 7-Keto along with Muscularity or Glutamine Select. Each works great to improve your muscle tone and help stabilize blood sugar while you are dieting.

Maximum: Add Energy Reserve. Take 1 tablet with each Lean Out dose for increased fat loss and sustained energy.

For general health, hair, and skin benefits: Take 2 Fit Tabs and 3 EFA Gold daily.

Your First Shopping Lists

Grocery List
Now, let’s get started! Your first stop is the grocery. Here’s a list that will take care of about everything on your nutrition plan.

  • 1 carton of liquid egg whites
  • 1 carton eggs
  • 2 lbs. skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb. fish or 3 cans tuna (packed in water)
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey breast
  • 2 bags of salad (or fresh greens for salads)
  • Fresh or frozen vegetables of your choice
  • 2 twelve-packs of bottled water

Supplement List

  • Start with 1 each UMP vanilla and UMP chocolate (or rocky road) and 2 bottles of Lean Out.
  • After a couple of weeks or a month if you want to take it to the next level add 7-Keto.
  • If you want a little more muscle tone, and your budget allows it add Muscularity or Glutamine Select. Choose Muscularity if you want the convenience of capsules, Glutamine Select if you’d prefer a powdered drink mix instead of capsules.
  • If you are not already taking them, now would be a good time to add Fit Tabs and EFA Gold for general health, hair and skin benefits.
    The final step in achieving your best bikini body is Energy Reserve. This is completely optional, but many of our most successful clients incorporate it into their fat loss stack.

Keystone #3 Weight Training

Training with weights is the most important activity for reshaping your body. Not only does it tone your body but it plays a very important role in promoting fat loss because of the metabolic properties of muscle tissue. It is vital that you can do the basic, compound exercises in perfect form. As a bonus they are also the exercises that burn the most calories. Learn to do them perfectly and you’ll reap a lifetime of workout benefits from them. If you are new to strength training or if you have not regularly incorporated these basic movements into your workout, we advise that you train 3 days a week for 6 weeks on the basic program below.

Bikini Starter Kit
Beginners Course #1

Here is your routine for weeks 1-6. You’ll be using a total body workout 3 days a week. Although individual body part training is now vogue, total body training at this stage of your training has definite advantages. By including leg and back movements in each workout, you will be burning many more calories during and after training, than on an exclusive arm or shoulder day. You can do all these exercises at home with a barbell or dumbbells and a bench. You’ll also be learning to work hard and use your body as a unit.

Squats 3x8-10
Deadlift 3x8-10
Bench Press 3x8-10
Bent Row 3x8-10

Shoulder Press 3x8-10
Curl 3x8-10
Crunch 2x12-15
Leg Raise 2x12-15

 

If you work hard on these exercises, you will experience noticeable results by week 4. You should try to complete this course of exercises in 45 minutes each workout. Add weight whenever you reach 10 reps in perfect form on all 3 sets. On abs, add another set or continue to add reps up to 25 per set.

Bikini Starter Kit Course #2

Course #2 is a split routine that allows you to incorporate more exercises into your program while staying within your 45 minute per workout window.

In course #2 you’ll be working out with weights 3 or preferably 4 days per week. You’ll be using a split routine and using the pyramid system of increasing weight while lowering the reps on each set. Use AS MUCH WEIGHT AS YOU CAN WITH PERFECT FORM for the target amount of reps. If you can do more reps than the target, add weight. If you can't get at least the lower recommended amount of reps, then lighten the weight slightly.

Finish all your sets for a particular exercise before going to the next exercise. Keep up a good pace during your workout. Perform a set, stretch the target muscle group, and then go right to your next set: lift – stretch – lift – stretch.

In order to become your best “you”, you’ll have to train beyond your comfort zone. Once you become accustomed to the prescribed exercises, you’ll pick a weight that is heavy enough so that the last few repetitions are very difficult (nearly impossible) to finish. This is how you will get the fullest benefit in both tone and fat loss from your training. With a little experimentation you’ll soon have a good idea of exactly how much weight you need to use for each exercise.

Once you achieve “baseline” weights for your workouts keep progressing in one or more of the following areas each time you work out:

  • Amount of resistance or weight used for a particular set.
  • Number of reps performed with a particular weight.
  • Reduce the amount of rest time between sets.
  • Train harder – go for the burn.
  • On each exercise (except abs) you’ll be using the pyramid system of training. On set 1 you’ll do 12-15 reps; add a little weight and do 8-12 reps for set 2; for set 3 add still more weight and perform 6-8 reps.

Here’s an example:

Bench Press

Set 125 pounds12-15 repetitions
Set 235 pounds8-12 repetitions
Set 345 pounds6-8 repetitions

Here's a rule of thumb: If you can’t get at least 12 reps on your 1st set, simply remain at the weight for all 3 sets.

  • Increasing the weights. In the example above, let’s say that after wor-king out steadily for a couple of weeks you can easily perform 15 reps on your first set. You can also do more than 12 on your second set if you tried, and 8 on your third set. Now, it’s time to raise the weight for each set and start at the lower end of the recommended rep range.
  • Split Routine. You’ll be working out 4 days per week, splitting your body so that you work one-half of your body on one day and the other half on the next workout day. You’ll be working abs all 4 days. The most convenient way is usually to work out 2 days, take 1 day off, then work out another 2 days and take 2 days off.

Workout 1 & 3: Chest, back, shoulders, and abs

Perform 3 sets for each exercise (except abs and glutes). On set 1 you’ll do 12-15 reps; add a little weight and do 8-12 reps for set 2; for set 3 add still more weight and perform 6-8 reps.

Incline Press
Incline Press

Keystone #4 Cardio

You’ll be starting with 3 HIIT cardio days per week as the linchpin to your cardio system. It is important to avoid “mindless” cardio. To keep you focused, you’ll be adding a progressive element to your cardio, just as you have done with your weight workout. Here’s how to do it:

Record each cardio workout in your training journal or a separate notebook. Don’t just get on a treadmill and walk. Quantify your cardio program. Set a GOAL! It can be DURATION, INTENSITY (mph, % incline, or level), or one that combines all of the above, CALORIES expended. A sample cardio journal entry might look like this:

Type: Treadmill
Duration: 20 Minutes
Peak Intensity: 6.2 mph; 4% incline
Rest Intervals: 3.5 mph; 0% incline
Calories Expended: 300
Total Calories for week to date: 1000

The best times to do your HIIT cardio are first thing in the morning, before Meal #1, or if you must do your weight workout and cardio in the same session, always complete your weight workout before cardio. High intensity interval training is an effective way of burning maximum calories while preserving lean mass and shedding fat.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is a type of cardio training in which you alternate short, high intensity intervals with slower intervals to recover. For example, run for 60 seconds, and then walk for 60 seconds. Or, walk fast on an incline for 60 seconds, then normally on a flat surface for 60 seconds. The benefits of doing HIIT will be maximal fat loss because you increase your resting me-tabolism and fat burning enzymes, while maintaining and even building muscle, all in a minimal amount of time.

Perhaps the easiest way to do your cardio workout is simply choose one of the HIIT programs built into your cardio machine and increase a level every 4th workout on that machine. The main emphasis of doing this is to always advance and to never stay at an equilibrium state.

You can choose to perform each cardio session on the same machine, or use a different machine each day. Another great benefit of HIIT is that you can do it almost anywhere without any equipment at all. You can alternate fast walking or running intervals with normal walking. You can even use a jump rope.

The important thing is that you record each cardio workout and gradually increase the intensity level every week or two.

Your HIIT workout will go like this. Let’s use a stationary bike as an example.

  • Warm-up for 3 to 5 minutes by pedaling at a comfortable speed and low resistance; then start your interval work
  • 30-60 seconds: High-Intensity interval (pedal hard and/or increase the resistance)
  • 60 seconds: Rest interval (pedal at a comfortable speed with low resistance)
  • Repeat for 10-20 minutes interval training
  • Conclude with a 3-5 minute cool down

Now that you are set with three days per week with HIIT, you are probably thinking what do I do the rest of the week? Easy! We recommend simply walking or doing something active 2 additional days per week. Whether it is pushing a stroller at the park or roller blading with your friends, staying active throughout the week will keep your energy levels high and overall attitude positive.

The best way to make this your new lifestyle is t o find something you love to do and stay consistent with it. Finding a workout partner is a great way to stick with a fitness lifestyle and will also help with making your cardio training go a lot faster. Also, remember to keep a journal with you to keep track of all your progress and results. This is a great tool for motivation to look back on to see where you started and how far you have come.

By incorporating all four keystones, you are sure to achieve your best “Bikini Body” with consistent effort and discipline. This is a great starter kit to get you back in the game and feeling great. Let us reiterate that Beverly’s educational information, nutrition programs, and supplements - your Bikini Starter Kit - is No Nonsense – no gimmicks or quick fixes, just a sound tried and true formula for success. Best of luck to you and enjoy your transformation!

What Results Can I Expect from your Best Body Bikini Starter Kit Plan?

First Day: You’ll probably feel the workout after the first day in terms of soreness. But, it will take about three weeks before you start noticing results.

First Month: The first place you’ll notice results are in the areas where you natu-rally carry the least amount of fat like your deltoids and biceps. By the end of the first month you may notice a tightening in your abdominals and your thighs might feel more muscular. You’ll definitely be improving as far as toning goes, but you still might not see it yet.

Two Months: After eight weeks you will notice a definite difference throughout your entire body. You’ll see more improvement in those areas where you naturally carry the least amount of bodyfat, but if you’ve given your program eight good weeks, you are now on the way to a new body.

Three Months: After twelve weeks, you will notice a narrowing and tightening of your glute area (buttocks) and you may begin to see some definition starting to show in your abdominals. Your triceps will be tightening and others will begin noti-cing the changes you’ve made in your body.

Six Months: At six months, your hips and buttocks will be tight; your legs noticeably more shapely, your upper body will be taking on the characteristics of that athletic V shape. In short, you will appear tight and firm.

One Year: If you devote one entire year to this Body Shaping (or Re-shaping) program you will have an entirely new hard, tight, appealing body. You will also experience amazing improvement in each of these areas:

  • Fat loss/Weight loss: Do not rely on the scale during the first month, instead check out how your clothes fit. You can also use the measuring tape or bodyfat calipers, but wait at least six weeks before you start measuring progress on the scale.
  • Muscle ‘Toning’: You’ll notice improvement in the areas where you carry the least bodyfat first, for example your deltoids and biceps, but be assured that you are improving everywhere; it’s just not noticeable yet.
  • Strength Building: Every incremen-tal weight increase in an exercise is an indication of increased strength.
  • Improved Self-Image & Self Confidence: You’ll not only have your best bikini body, but you will have also improved your self-image, self-confidence, and have a renewed outlook on life!
