Welcome to the Extreme Weekend Slim-‐Down! Everyone says it can’t be done.

Doctors, personal trainers, fitness writers….they ALL same the same thing. You have to exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week in order to burn fat and lose weight.

Look, I already know they’re wrong. And now you’re going to find out first hand with this brand NEW program that forces your body to burn unwanted fat AND shrink your waist by simply working out on the weekends.

You see, when you do the right exercises, in the right order, at the right intensity, it doesn’t matter how many days you work out. It’s quality over quantity – every single time.

I know you’re busier than ever. That’s why I created this program. Working all day, running errands, spending time with your family, having a social life…it all adds up.

And the first thing to get pushed to the side are your workouts. Not anymore :)

On this breakthrough new plan, you’re going to work your ENTIRE body on the weekends. Saturday and Sunday is your time to shine. Put in the work on those days, when you have more time available, and you’ll turn your body into a fat-‐burning machine.

The program also includes the Follow Along Workout Video Vault, which is made up of 10-‐minute fat-‐burning workout videos. Just to be clear, these are 100% OPTIONAL! But, if you want to do a little more, or have 10 free minutes during the week, just press play and do the entire workout with me. They’re all bodyweight only workouts, so no equipment is required.

Again, they are 100% optional. If you have time to fit them in during the week, then that’s great! You’ll feel better and your results will come just a little faster. If not, stick with the weekend workouts and let’s crush this!

Keep pushing yourself, NEVER give up, and remember one thing….

I know you can do this. I believe in you. There’s no magic pill that’s going to give you a flat stomach. Put in the work, do the best you can, and the results WILL come :)
