Hi there,
Cheers for checking out our boot camp. We know that if you follow this
movement pattern for 4 weeks you will lose weight, punch out disease and
outrun James Bond. This is not some “gimmicky” lose 20 pounds in 4 weeks
information product. You will lose weight, don’t get me wrong, but it is hard
work. You will need to focus and commit for best results.
This 4-week program is free and effective. Please forward it on to your family
and friends.
I reckon the best bet is for you to print it out, have a read, and take the
programs to the gym.
Thanks,
Jamey and Tom

Outline
There are 4-weeks in the program. Each week has a daily structure table and
a movement example chart. The daily structure tables show you the daily
workouts: We prescribe either HIIT (high intensity interval training) or fun
activity. HIIT is described in further detail below.
Follow the daily structure table and look at the movement chart to see what
the moves looks like.
Summary
Guidelines
You probably do not know what high intensity interval training (HIIT) is so I
prepared a post on our website (HIIT Benefits). Here it is:
High Intensity Interval Training literally HIITs your body fat so hard that it
ceases to exist. If HIIT were analogous to something strangely random it
would be tons of tiny Rocky Balboa’s upper cutting every one of your body fat
globules out.
The secret of HIIT is you being able to push your body past its pain barrier
for short periods of time.

What is HIIT
A lot of people think HIIT is running sprints on a track. And it can be. But
HIIT in a more global sense of the word means to perform any movement at
maximum intensity for set intervals. If it were spoken of in regards to
sprinting on a track it means you are sprinting at your body’s highest intensity
for intervals of 20-30 seconds and 90 seconds rest and recovery.
HIIT is gaining popularity because of its proven effectiveness at burning body
fat while maintaining muscle mass. Many “city corporates” are undertaking
HIIT styled weightlifting regimens to save time, but blast fat.
I personally love HIIT’ing with my body weight as resistance. One of my HIIT
routines is to start doing push ups and do as many as I can, then I move to
do as many pull ups as I can, then I jump up and down as many times
possible and I repeat that again and again (usually with a 20 min max). My
body is forced into places it does not enjoy. As a consequence it improves its
ability to absorb and use oxygen so that next time I can go longer, harder
and faster.
In a study coming out of Canada: Groups of men and women were put on 20-
week endurance training and 15-week HIIT program. The HIIT participants
saw on average a nine fold greater decrease in adipose fat than the low to
moderate intensity groups. Or as I would put it HIIT blasts more fat with less
energy expenditure when compared to low to moderate exercise.
Your heart loves HIIT so much that it nearly jumps out of your body with joy
– literally. In a German review: It was found that HIIT training improved the
mechanisms of myocardial adaptation to exercise. Meaning that your heart
got better at beating. The kicker – the shorter but more intense HIIT
outperformed low to moderate exercise at doing this.
HIIT recruits your fast twitch (FT) muscle fibers to propel your body on short
bursts of strength or speed. Skeletal muscle is on average made up of 50%
FT and 50% slow twitch (ST) fibers. The ST use oxygen more efficiently
(think marathoners). On the other hand, sprinters use their abundance of FT
fibers to fire and contract their leg muscles quickly and forcefully, propelling
4

them forward. When you HIIT train, your body is forced to use the FT
muscles. So that when you finish a hard HIIT routine your body takes hours
to “catch up” (given the FT fibers are more oxygen starved). This “catching
up” is what makes HIIT so good at burning body fat. Two hours after you
have finished a 20-minute HIIT routine your body is still working and it burns
your body fat for this energy.
This study says it best, “[...] HIIT with a specific muscle group enhanced
human skeletal muscle oxygen uptake at the onset of high intensity exercise.
But, no training effects were observed during exercise at low intensity. The
elevation was caused by larger blood flow and better oxygen extraction.”
So do HIIT and your muscles and heart get more efficient. Add to
that the fact you lose fat quicker when compared with low and
moderate intensity exercise and you have a winning workout
structure.
How to Do HIIT
HIIT is ever increasing in popularity for one because of its effectiveness but
two for its simplicity. Anyone can do HIIT and should, anywhere. As I
mentioned above HIIT is a workout structure.
What I do:
As you get fit you can modify the HIIT structure to suite your level of fitness.
For instance when I do a HIIT body weight routine I do push ups to failure,
followed by pull ups to failure and I finish with jumping up onto a bench until
I nearly fall over. That “all out” portion of my HIIT takes 90-120 seconds. I
follow that up with a recovery period of shoulder press and Abs Bridge, which
5

Running. What you should do if you want to HIIT run (assuming you
are a beginner):
• I have put together some sprinting routines before, but I will summarize.
• Do a 2 minute warm-up run followed by 1 minute walk;
• Go all out running forward for 30 seconds followed by 90 second walk;
• Repeat the sprint walk pattern 6 times;
• That is a total of 15 minutes HIIT workout.
Body weights. What you should do if you want to HIIT body weight
lifting (assuming you are intermediate):
I have put together some other HIIT body weights routines (here, and here,
o and this very simple 2 exercise HIIT)
Another excellent HIIT example is Our Body Fit Check Challenge (for time:
push ups, pull ups and 2.4 km run)
It is simple, but not easy. Your body is forced to work very hard. As they say,
“no pain, no gain!”

advice:
Change the scenery. The beauty of HIIT is its pure simplicity. You can
literally jump up and down for 30 seconds then rest and repeat and you have
done HIIT (as long as you reach full exertion and maintain for 20-30
seconds). I routinely go to the beach to do sprints. I enjoy jumping up onto
the back of my ute instead of a bench sometimes.
See the results. Nothing beats the sweet smell of satisfaction. HIIT works
and works wonders. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if you
follow my advice – do HIIT – eat right – you will burn excess fat so fast!
Go out there and start using what your maker gave you. You had all the tools
you needed from birth. Push yourself, exert your body, and you will reap the
rewards.
