Workout Schedule
Copyright ©2016 Gillay Nutritional Gym, LLC All Rights Reserved
This schedule is designed to be followed for the next 2 weeks, but can be adjusted at
anytime depending you your needs and progress.
All weight-training workouts are in Rest-Based “circuit” format, meaning you move
from one exercise to the next, resting as needed. AMRAP means as many rounds as
possible and DB stands for dumbbells.
All of these workouts are guides for you and might need to be adjusted based on your
needs. You can increase/decrease weight, levels, resistance to fit your needs, just be
sure you’re getting a challenging workout.

Every two weeks you will have a new
workout routine. That means weeks 1 & 2
will be the same workouts and then weeks
3 & 4 will be the same workouts. Weeks 1
& 2 will be split workouts meaning they will
have upper and lower body workouts.
Weeks 3 & 4 will be a mix of full body
workouts, 1 upper body and 1 lower body.
All weeks will contain 1 rest day and then 2
plyometric/sprint days. You do not do both
sprints and plyometrics just pick one or the
other.
All workouts are explained and outlined
below. Right now your workouts are based
on you having a cheat meal on Saturday
and resting on Sunday. If you change your
cheat meal you will need to change your
workout schedule and carb cycling
schedule. You want to get in every workout
for the week, but no doubling up because
you missed a day or “want” to do more.
For example you cannot do weights and
interval training in the same day and then
take an extra day off. If you need to take
an extra day of rest that’s fine as you need
to listen to your body first and me second.
Now some people like to run for fun (why I
don’t know LOL) or do yoga or a spin class
(ok maybe I do spin a lot). These are not
part of this program and can be done in
addition, but I want you to know you can
exercise out a good diet. Which means
that exercising too much can cause
hormonal responses and not in your favor!!
It can actually do the opposite effect of
what we are trying to achieve here. More
doesn’t = better. Better is better and that
means quality over quantity. Lifting heavier
& faster is more intense and better for the
metabolism and getting you results. You
will get the best results by following the
schedule as programmed. If you want to
add in one of the exercises listed above I
recommend doing it on a plyometric/sprint
day.
Getting Prepared
Copyright ©2016 Gillay Nutritional Gym, LLC All Rights Reserved
It is important to know how rest-based
training (RBT) works to be able to do the
workouts properly. This style of lifting
allows you to push your hardest and get
the best possible workout you can for your
fitness level. People who are more fit will
lift heavier weights and/or move faster and
less fit people will lift lighter and rest more.
However, it is important to note that this is
rest-based training, which means you push
until you can’t and rest until you can. If you
are pacing the entire workout then you
need to go heavier! You should be resting
in these workouts or else you need to go
heavier! Also since you are working out for
your body I don’t give you rests, you rest
when you need to rest even if that’s in the
middle of a set. So I rest when I need to
rest and you rest when you need to rest.
WARM-UPS AND COOL-DOWNS
Before each workout make sure you
are warming up for 5-10 minutes of
light cardio or dynamic stretching
like walking lunges, push-ups,
squats, side-to-sides, etc. After
each workout make sure you static
stretch each muscle worked holding
for 30 seconds or longer.

Cardio Interval Workouts
Listed below are 6 options/workouts for ME
interval training/Sprint workouts on various
pieces of equipment. You can choose from
any of these on the ME interval training/
Sprint workout training days. Some people
stick with just one or two for the entire 4
weeks and some change it every time and
it’s totally up to you.
Each workout contains a warm-up followed
by 25 minutes of interval training with
pushes and rests. The resistance levels,
speeds and inclines are suggested and
based upon your fitness level you may
need to adjust one or all of these and that’s
totally fine.
Here are your goals for these workouts:
๏ Push as hard as you can during the
“push” part to the point of
breathlessness/burning/heated/
heavy. At that point you should not
be able to do any more seconds, if
you can then you are pacing and
need to pick it up.
๏ Rest super-slowly and lightly during
the “resting” part. The slower/
lighter the rest the faster/harder you
can work during the “push” interval.
So enjoy your rest!
For machine training make sure you have
the machine on manual mode so you can
manipulate that speed/resistance/level
yourself. There are no cool-downs in these
workouts so at the end of the workout
make sure you walk for a bit and then static
stretch each muscle holding for 30 seconds
or longer.

Warm-up: 2 laps around the track or 5
minutes on the treadmill or machine
followed by dynamic warm-up with high
knees, squats, etc movements.
Always make sure you properly warm
up before sprinting!
Sprint for 30 Seconds as fast as
possible. No need to go longer just the
30 Seconds. If you can’t go all out for
30 seconds at first start with 20 seconds
and work up to 30 seconds.
After you have completed the 30-
second sprint keep walking slowly or as
long as you need to recover. The idea
is to be able to go all out on each
sprint. 100% recovery is key!
Complete until you reach a total time of
20 minutes of sprints. If you start to
lose your form then end the workout
sooner.
Make sure you always cool down with
static stretching holding for 30 seconds
or longer for each muscle and walking.
Sprints
Copyright ©2016 Gillay Nutritional Gym, LLC All Rights Reserved
This program includes daily leisurely walks
for 30-60 minutes each day. These are just
as important as the intense workouts
because they help lower cortisol (stress
hormone). They are meant to be SLOW,
NOT power walks. I know it can be hard
walking slowly, but you should not be
exerting yourself. You should be able to
walk and hold a cup of coffee (without a lid)
in your hand and not spill it, that’s how slow
of a walk it should be. Walks are best done
post workout, but an be fit into the day in
10 minute segments if needed.
Walking
Any time you start a new workout
routine or program soreness is
inevitable. It is not pleasant, but it
means your muscles are responding.
Here are some tips and tools that can
help you:
๏ Drink plenty of water
๏ Be sure to eat veggies like crazy
๏ Use BCAAs for muscle recovery
๏ Epsom Salt baths work wonders:
4 cups to a bath
๏ Sit in a sauna
๏ Stretching is key to help the
muscles recover as it brings the
muscle into a full range of
motion. Holding for 30 seconds
or longer will allow the muscle to
reach it’s stretch reflex and make
you more flexible and less sore
Working out with soreness: If your have
light soreness and it’s time to do a
weighted workout then go ahead and
do the workout. However, if you have
extreme soreness lighten up on your
weights or take that as your rest day. If
you already had a rest day then rest
again and then double up another day.
This is not ideal and I don’t want you
doing this because you want to or time
commitment, but it’s ok if you are super
sore. All cardio workouts are fine to do
when sore – the first few minutes of the
workout may be painful, but as you get
warmed up the soreness should
subside.
Soreness

IMPORTANT NOTE Remember to do your best with everything! All workouts should be challenging and you should be pushing and resting. If you aren’t resting then you aren’t going heavy enough. Everyone starts at a different fitness level so if you can’t do all the cardio as listed at the resistance/ incline/speed then just take it at what pace you can.
Over the next 4 weeks you will be changing your body and taking it to new levels and I am so happy to be on this journey with you!
