5 Minutes A Day

CHANCES ARE YOU'VE PICKED UP THIS BOOK because you're sick to death of lugging around those extra kilos and you want to look and feel better. Maybe you've just had a baby, or the middle-age spread has snuck up on you, or you've lost a lot of weight already but can't get the last five off. Or maybe you are desperate to get into your skinny jeans (or just any jeans!). Whatever the reason, my first question to you is 'Where is this on your list of priorities?' Because I'm here to tell ya, honey, if it ain't high enough on that list, then it ain't gonna happen. Dropping those last kilos must be a high priority.

Why? Because it takes commitment, focus and discipline. Do you think that Jennifer Hawkins just turns up looking the way she does? Or that all those Hollywood actors are just born lucky? Are you kidding? Tenacity and self-discipline drive these boys and girls.

So the bottom line is, if you want a killer bottom line, then you will have to work for it.

The good news is that I have trained enough people in my time to know exactly what you need to do to achieve this. In Part 1, I talk about why those last 5 kilos are so stubborn, and why you have been struggling to get them off. Getting your head around the science of what happens to your body and mind is the first step to taking back control. Once you understand why the last 5 kilos are so hard to lose, you'll understand why your old strategies (e.g. skipping meals, playing mind games) never worked, and what you need to do to ensure success.

In Part 2, I give you all the ammo you'll need to drop those last stubborn kilos in just 30 days. This not only includes a day-by-day meal and exercise plan, but also detailed descriptions of my favourite low-calorie recipes and killer exercises. I even give you a weekly shopping list so that you don't need to think, you just have to do. I'm also letting you in on some of my special training secrets (such as 'accelerator days'), which will have you slimming down and shaping up in no time.

Knowledge is power, and that's what this book will give you in spades. For the next month you are going to take 100 per cent, total responsibility for what you do or don't put in your mouth, and for the consistency, intensity and content of your training. No blame, no victim mentality. Just do it.

So here's my promise to you: if you follow my meal plan and exercise program to the letter, you will achieve what you desire. If you don't follow it, nothing will change for you. It's really that simple.

Preparation, consistency and a 'take no prisoners' attitude are mandatory, so bring your notepad, your diary and your inner shit-kicker with you and together we will have you living out your wildest imaginings!

If you have read this far, then I am thinking you are up for it. You don't have to be a seasoned athlete; you don't have to be the most genetically gifted. You just have to be prepared to do the work. As the saying goes, 'The harder you work, the luckier you get.'

Let's kick some arse!
