      Gym-Free Journal - Brett Stewart

      PART 1:

      OVERVIEW

      INTRODUCTION

      So, you want to get ripped (or shredded, jacked, buff, toned, built, cut and any number of cute little terms to depict a chiseled, Adonis-like physique)? Well, maybe not. How about losing weight, getting healthier and being fit? How about FIT, or Function in Training—where you’ll use a myriad of bodyweight exercises that simulate real-world (functional) movements to strengthen, shape and tone your entire body. These functional movements are simple to learn, remember and replicate from day to day and workout to workout. The goal of The Gym-Free Journal is very simple: We’ll use FIT to get you fit!

      Let’s say your goal is to get in shape—really in shape—and develop the physique that guys and gals alike want to attain. How do you do it? Where do you start? If you watch any commercial for weight-loss pills or crazy fitness contraptions, you’ll see some dude with six-pack abs, bulging arms and a chiseled chest posing next to a babe with amazing legs, a flat tummy and all the right assets. They smile at the camera and tell you that it’s fast, fun and easy to get ripped in just weeks with some incredible diet pill or the BellyRipper2000. You know they’re pulling your leg, right? Usually, these models have never even seen the product they’re pitching before the video shoot.

      So, who do you believe? Should you trust the companies that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on infomercials? Should you put all your faith in a miracle fat-burning pill? Are you only going to get results if you pay hundreds of dollars a month to a personal trainer? You know the real answer—it’s been there all along and is even easier than you think. Trust your body. Get active, eat healthily and get ripped—that’s it.

      To most people, building a workout routine is a mystery. Should you do heavy weights and low reps or light weights and high reps? Should you work in supersets or target muscles? Upper body or lower body? Kettlebells, sprints, squats, stairs, pyramids, yadda yadda yadda?

      There are more ways to work out than you can count, and they all have their benefits. If you pick up any fitness magazine you’ll learn about different must do exercises that sometimes conflict with other routines in that same issue! How on earth can you make sense of the information overload and develop an efficient way to get the ripped results you want? Since you’re reading this, you no longer have to.

      Here’s some good news: You can get in the best shape of your life more quickly than you ever thought possible by following a simple program of easy-to-do bodyweight exercises and equally simple nutritional guidelines. The even better news is that you don’t need any expensive gadgets, a gym membership or even a personal trainer. You’re holding in your hands a book devoted to taking the mystery out of getting ripped and showing you step by step how to attain the body you want. With easy-to-follow and simple-to-remember programs that average 20 minutes a day, you can seamlessly adapt to a fit lifestyle and reap all the benefits of being in shape: playing with your kids, beating your older brother at hoops, conquering a Spartan Race or even enjoying the pursuit of fitness itself—a walk, jog or activity that you can do all by yourself or with friends of family.

      The act of getting fit is only a chore if you make it one. Getting and staying in shape can actually be fun if you make it so, and it starts with a positive mental attitude. If you find yourself saying, Ugh, I need to go do my work out, then you’re not going to stick with it. By adding some fun activities to your daily routine along with just a little positive thinking, you should be able to turn that into, Yes, I get to take one more step on my fitness journey today! Still have doubts? Well, this is your option to prove to yourself that you can and will succeed in your fitness goals!

      Your Roadmap

      I have one of the best jobs in the world: I write books about fitness and train with some of the coolest professional, amateur and beginner athletes in the world. My books have taken me to some amazing places all over the United States, from racing a Spartan Race in the middle of the Arizona desert to running a marathon in the mountains of Montana. I’ve spent countless hours with professional triathletes, runners and obstacle racers to get the inside scoop on training, nutrition and motivation to compete at the highest levels.

      Without question, the most rewarding experiences I’ve had come from working with beginners. Whether they’re first-timers running in a 5K, triathlon, marathon or
