JOSHUA ZITTING S 8 WEEK SHRED TRAINING PLAN
Welcome To the Shred It s important to remember that solid planning is important while taking your fitness journey. This is why everything is laid out specifically for you to take the guess work out. Focus on one Phase of the 8 week shred at a time rather then the entire program. You are going to experience your metabolism at new heights. Your body will experience massive fat burning hormone release. Including natural human growth hormone which will help attack your subcutaneous fats around your hips, belly, thighs, and butt. Workouts will be in the 60 min range but can be done in as little as 40 minutes with lower rest periods. The main focus always during your workouts should be on key things - 1 - Form 2 - Consistency - Intensity Simply put, figure out how to be consistent and you have won half the battle. Always focus on form over heavy weight as you want to prevent injury and muscle imbalances. Your intensity should always be brought to the table. You don t need to be as strong as anyone else, your only competitor is you so all I ask is bring the best you that you possibly can to the table every single time. Before you begin any exercise regimen make sure you consult with a physician.

Just a quick note to remind you that anyone who plans on training of any sort should include a nutrition plan. That is why I have included the plan in your 8 week shred. Without the nutrition in addition to your workouts you really cannot count on results. This is not bring you down, but more so as your coach to help you understand the importance of the two working synergistically for maximum results. If you follow the plan you will put on muscle and lose fat and you will reveal that physique you know you deserve in just a few weeks. I am positive that with the Joshua Zitting 8 Week Shred Program you are going to get results. Simply follow the system I have put in place for you.
