Before we get started, I want to take some time to talk about my own fitness
M Y T RANSFORMATION S TORY : journey and what made me want to write this Cardio Schedule.

I started my fitness journey September of 2015, which seems like yesterday!


I had no idea where to start, what to eat, or how to workout. I just knew I was
unhealthy and needed to make a change.

I was always very thin growing up and never had to watch what I was eating. I
was a dancer in high school and played many sports growing up.
When I stepped into a gym for the first time, I remember feeling scared and
intimidated because I had no idea what I was doing. I found myself migrating to
the cardio machines, doing some ab workouts, and going home.
I had absolutely no idea about nutrition, how the food I put in my body was
responsible for how I felt on the inside, or of the health problems that would
emerge. When I was 18, I lost my best friend in a car accident and it turned my
world upside down. I took my pain out on food and stopped exercising completely.
I ended up gaining 50 pounds, became very unhealthy and lost sight of myself.

Now, fitness and health is my passion. I now know how important it is to love
yourself from the inside out. I’ve learned the power of motivation, dedication, and
commitment. I want to share this with all of you, and help you achieve the same
mental and physical transformation that I have. Not only will you feel happier and
healthier, you’ll gain a newfound confidence you never thought was possible. This
Cardio Schedule is so much more than weight loss. It’s about showing yourself
just how strong and capable you are when you set your mind to something. You
will amaze yourself!

I have dedicated my time to learning, improving, and finding ways to make


healthy food taste good and to make workouts more fun while keeping that
balance! I’ve gone through times when I thought to myself, “I can’t do this, there’s
no way I can transform my body.”

I have conquered those doubts that many people go through when first
embarking on their own fitness journey. I am so excited to share what I have
learned with you.

So now it’s your turn! I am going to guide you through your journey and I couldn’t
be more excited!

I NTRODUCTION :

Hello! If you’re reading this, that means you’ve taken the first
step towards a healthier lifestyle and getting the results you want.
I am so happy to help you get started and on your way to being a
happier, and healthier you!

Let me just say this cardio schedule is not to promote extreme


dieting, excessive hours of exercise, or poor body image. It is not
a program that is going to make you lose crazy amounts of weight
within a matter of days or even a few weeks. The faster you lose
weight, there’s a higher chance you’ll gain it all back. I believe in
following a balanced, healthy lifestyle, while losing weight and
keeping it off! You will achieve this with a healthy, balanced meal
plan, and regular exercise. There is no secret diet pill, tea, or
quick fix. It is all about being consistent and staying motivated. I
am here to give you the knowledge you need to succeed. To me,
this program isn’t about a certain body weight or size. It’s about
the self love and confidence you’re going to have after
completing this cardio plan.

These next 4 weeks are going to be challenging, but also


rewarding. You are going to have not only physical, but mental
changes. No one is going to give you the body you want by
reading this. If you put the work in, you will see the results you
want. The amazing confidence we all want is earned by people
who are willing to put time and effort into themselves. Now, let’s
get started!

ABOUT THE CARDIO PLAN:
I personally have hit weight loss plateau’s due to doing the same cardio
machines, time, and duration.

I know how frustrating it can be when you’re working super hard and not
seeing results. That is why I decided to write this cardio schedule.

I am going to give you 4 cardio sessions a week (I know that seems like a lot
but some of these sessions will be low intensity) Then, I will be giving you
guys 3 rest days. The cardio sessions will be every other day and they will be
different types of cardio each time.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday: will be


your cardio session days.

Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday: will be your


rest days from cardio.
