days when you do miss exercise, it is especially important to keep your diet clean. This will help avoid your results going in the wrong direction and make it easier to get back on track with
the workouts. It will also help you stay in the correct mindset.

work your weaknesses
WE ALL HAVE SOME EXERCISES THAT WE LIKE TO DO MORE THAN OTHERS AND USUALLY THE EXERCISES WE LIKE TO DO ARE THE ONES WE ARE GOOD AT. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THE
EXERCISES WHERE WE DON’T STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN GOOD FORM AND/OR PERFORM ADVANCED VERSIONS AND/OR USE A DECENT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT. EXERCISES THAT HIT OUR WEAK SPOTS OR CAUSE US TO WOBBLE AND
WAIVER CAN MAKE US FEEL WEAK AND MALCOORDINATED, WHICH MOST OF US DON’T ENJOY AT ALL.
IT’S TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE: WE ALL FEEL BETTER DOING SOMETHING WE CAN DO WELL THAN DOING SOMETHING WE CAN’T. BUT I DON’T THINK I NEED TO TELL YOU
WHICH OF THOSE LEADS TO THE BEST IMPROVEMENTS IN YOUR BODY!
TRY TO HAVE FUN WITH IT. MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEING BAD AT AN EXERCISE BEFORE THEY CAN BECOME GOOD AT IT. TAKE YOUR TIME AND REALLY FOCUS WHEN PERFORMING
THE EXERCISES YOU’RE WEAKER AT AND, ALTHOUGH THEY MIGHT NEVER BECOME YOUR FAVOURITE MOVES, YOU WILL GRADUALLY GAIN MASTERY OVER THEM AND YOU’LL LEARN TO ENJOY THEM MORE. BEING
DRIVEN TO IMPROVE ON YOUR WEAKNESSES IS A HIGHLY BENEFICIAL ATTITUDE TO HAVE, BOTH IN YOUR FITNESS TRAINING AND IN LIFE – AND THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO START GETTING INTO THE
HABIT.
WE’RE ALMOST READY TO GO, BUT BEFORE YOU DIVE IN, PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THESE SAFETY POINTS:
• Always read through all the materials for each phase of the programme before trying the workouts for the first time.
• If in doubt, don’t. If you have any injuries or illnesses which could be exacerbated by performing any of the exercises, or if you’re pregnant or
on medication, seek advice from a medical professional before starting.
• Any time you’re unsure about any aspect of the workouts refer back to the book and if you still don’t find the answer you can contact me via my
website, juliabuckley.co.uk .
• Don’t miss out the tips section at the bottom of each exercise description, these contain important safety notes as well as advice for getting maximum
benefits from the moves.
• Exercise in a safe space. This programme is designed to be followed at home, but you must ensure the area where you train is free of objects that you could
trip on or bang into and that the floor is not slippery.
• Keep your equipment clean and well maintained and check it over before every session. Collars on dumbbells can become loose quite quickly, so always re-tighten
them before starting a workout.
• Many of the exercises will be physically challenging, but they should never be painful. If you feel pain, stop immediately and seek advice from a medical
professional.
• The same goes if you feel ill or faint during your workout. Stop right away and see your doctor.
• Keep a glass of water handy and take regular sips to ensure you stay hydrated during the workouts.
• Form is king. When you reach a point in any exercise where you can’t continue with good posture and technique then it’s time to stop.
a few key terms
repetitions or reps: The number of times you do each individual exercise is counted in repetitions, or reps for short. One
repetition is complete when you have performed all stages of the movement and are ready to repeat it or finish your set.
sets: The duration or total number of repetitions in any single exercise is called a set. Most of the exercises in the Fat Burn
Revolution are organised into one to three sets, each comprised of 10 repetitions.
