2 Introduction
In a world that is in the midst of a global obesity epidemic, we are now also facing the
global virus pandemic that is COVID-19, which has changed our lives forever.
Fortunately, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that exercise is associated
with a longer lifespan as well as delaying the onset of over 40 chronic diseases (1). Now
more than ever we need to prioritize our health and wellbeing which extends far beyond
just looking good physically.
We also have to focus on good nutrition and prioritize feeling fantastic on the inside by
working on our mindset as well as our physical body. In these stressful times, people are
seeking resources which provide simple, easy to follow information to maximize their
results and to optimize how they feel both inside and out; which is why this guide was
created just for you!
Right now, society is bombarded with day to day stressors, such as city lockdowns, job
redundancies, global economic shutdowns and serious health concerns, all of which we
are exposed to every minute of every day. We are pulled from priority to priority due to
the expectations within our jobs and careers as well as the expectations of our partners
and families, meaning we are constantly challenged for time. Time is the one thing you
can never claim back, there is no clock reset, every minute counts and whether or not we
choose to use this time wisely will determine whether we succeed toward our goals in
life or not.

4 Goal Setting to Maximise Your
Results
Before we look at setting our goals we need to clearly define why this is important and
ensure we are setting the goals appropriately, so that we have the best chance of
succeeding in our desired outcome. Whether it be to lose 5-10kg and get very lean, or
build a few kg’s of quality muscle, both need a clearly defined finish line before we map
out how we are going to get there.
Focussing on your process (smaller) goals and taking consistent action on a daily basis
is the only way we can effectively and sustainably close the gap from where we are and
where we want to be.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 7
The Seven Steps To Achieving Your Goals.
Set your clearly defined Outcome Goal, that challenges you both physically but
also connects to your ‘why’
Understand your ‘why’
Commit and take action - Formulate your plan including your daily ‘process goals’
to ensure your Outcome Goal is achieved
Embrace the challenges and implement strategies and coping mechanisms to
stay on track
Track your progress and make adjustments where necessary (Data can be very
powerful when emotion gets in the way)
Consistency is key
Achieve the end results and feel fantastic! - consistent work pays off!
We all have thoughts, both negative and positive. When we attach a feeling to a thought
it then becomes an emotion. That might be an emotion of joy, happiness, passion, or love,
or conversely, it might be an emotion of anxiety, fear, or depression. That emotion then
causes us to act in a way which can either positively or
Remember, we always have a choice. We can choose to react to situations in our life
from a place of acceptance and observation and without judgement, or we can choose to
perceive situations as good or bad, which ultimately lead to an emotional see-saw which
can impede your results.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 8
When you set a goal and you understand your why, the habits, routines and actions
established around this, will help keep you on track. When you think you are not making
progress, you will keep going and push harder, when you feel unmotivated and tired, you
will keep going and push harder.
When you want to go and eat the foods that you know are not what you should be
eating, you will make a choice not to, and instead will choose to keep yourself on track.
With time and consistency, overcoming these thoughts challenges and staying on track
will lead to you achieving better results in the long term. The key to any change is
consistency and consistency comes when you take control of your mindset and remain
focused on your initial commitment. Though there will be good and bad days, days when
you remain on-point and days which may be more challenging, it is establishing these
consistent habits, and always getting ‘back on track’, that will ensure your success.
Remember, no one is perfect! It is perfectly okay to have ups and downs in training and
in life. That is reality so don’t beat yourself up if you fall off the bandwagon here and
there. Just make sure you pick yourself back up and keep on pushing!

5 Your Program Overview
We have designed two different programs for you to choose from whether it be to lose
weight and get lean or build muscle - or maybe you want to do both. Ultimately, the
choice is yours. Below, we have provided some guidance to help you make the right
decision to maximize your results.
If fat loss is your goal and you need to lose over 5kg or more to reach your desired weight
or body composition, then we would suggest cutting down first. The focus will be to get
you into an optimal body fat range through a caloric deficit and by using our fat loss
training systems. This will be far more optimal long term if you decide to move on to the
building phase next as, generally if you are leaner, you will have a greater ability to build
muscle in a calorie surplus, while keeping your body fat in check.
This is because excess body fat, especially visceral fat, has been linked with insulin
resistance (2,3). If you are insulin resistant excess calories will be more readily
partitioned towards fat cells instead of muscle cells. On the other hand, you probably
don’t want to overdo it with getting too lean either, since very low body fat has been
linked to low testosterone (4). Testosterone is our primary muscle building hormone and
low levels can impede muscle growth. The optimal leanness level for building lean mass
is right around where you can just see your abs for most people.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 10
In the nutrition component we talk about mini cuts, which may be applied if you feel the
need to shift your lean body mass (LBM) to body fat ratio throughout your gaining phase.
If you currently have or you develop a higher ratio of fat mass, then doing a mini cut for
2-6 weeks may be needed before driving calories back up, and focusing on more lean
mass gains.
If you are already at your goal body fat or body composition then the building phase will
be the way to go. Your calories should be set at, or just above, baseline and progressively
increased to mitigate plateaus, whilst driving progressive overload through our
hypertrophy training systems in order to ensure we are favoring lean mass gains as much
as possible and not adding too much fat mass.
The main limitation of the home workout system is not having enough equipment and
not being able to progressively increase load over time. We have overcome this by
applying multiple shock methods in the training systems to drive different hypertrophy
pathways to maximize your results!
We have given you all the tools you need in this guide to optimize results in all aspects
and provide the guidance you need to use these tools and ensure you keep making
progress.

6 Nutrition Fundamentals
Understanding Nutrition
Nutrition is one of the most widely discussed and over complicated topics in the fitness
industry. So, let’s focus on simplifying this. Nutrition is simply an energy currency we
need to fuel and nourish the body. It dictates the ‘energy in’ component but also plays an
indirect influence on the ‘energy out’ components as it provides us with energy to
perform exercise etc. The body needs macronutrients like proteins, carbs and fats which
all play a role in the body’s overall function from a larger scale, but also needs
micronutrients which are essential in providing building blocks for all physiological
processes on a smaller scale.
Most people either under consume or over consume calories/food and may struggle to
manage their body composition or body weight as a result. There is a high priority and
focus only on hitting particular macronutrient goals for those tracking calories, and no
focus or direction at all for those who are not tracking. There is no priority given to the
micronutrients we are consuming on a day to day basis.
Both macros and micros will dictate how much lean body mass we build, how much fat
we lose, our hormone production and they will both aid in the function of our overall gut
and microbiome balance which is where we house most of our immune system. These
factors will also influence overall compliance. So, it is essential we start focusing on the
things that will really make a difference to our overall body composition and health, and
consider optimizing all aspects when it comes to what we consume. If we want to make
changes to our health and body composition, we should look beyond the basics.
We have created a disconnect with food and how we as humans address consumption.
We have learnt to manipulate nutrition and nutritional programming to suit our needs not
only physically, but also emotionally which is one of the larger contributors to the drastic
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 12
Studies have linked micronutrient deficiencies to obesity and numerous debilitating
diseases (5). Additionally, ‘hidden hunger’ is a term which refers to nutritional
deficiencies that occur when people consume adequate or excess calories but
inadequate micronutrients (6). Consuming a micronutrient rich diet not only helps
combat micronutrient deficiencies but it also increases satiety.
Below are the key considerations and principles to take away to ensure you have a clear
understanding around how you can change your nutritional focus and habits and create
a better body and achieve optimal health. Although this book is designed to support your
body composition goals, we want to educate you on how to prioritize your health and not
only look great, but feel great as well.
When we look at calories there are a few things we need to understand; consuming
calories is one thing but making sure we can assimilate or absorb them is a deeper part
of the equation. The body works as one system and we need to provide it with the
resources it needs to function optimally.
Calories are the way we measure the energy we consume. Overall, they come from our
macronutrients including carbs, fats, proteins, fiber and alcohol. Once broken down our
body will then absorb these nutrients and the micronutrients from food and
distribute them throughout the body to support our overall function. This is why having
good quality food sources and a healthy functioning digestive system is crucial for our
overall health and results.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 13
Energy balance, which is the difference between calories in vs calories out, will primarily
dictate whether we gain or lose weight. If we consume more calories than we burn, we
will gain weight in the form of muscle and/or body fat, and if we consume less calories
than we burn we will lose weight in the form of muscle and/or fat. So, energy balance is
therefore the primary driver of weight gain or weight loss.
Studies have shown that, when energy intake is matched, the macronutrient composition
does not significantly affect weight loss (7). This does not mean that the macros are not
important, since the macronutrient intake can affect the composition of the weight lost or
gained. In fact, studies have shown that it is possible to gain weight while losing muscle
in a caloric surplus, if sufficient protein is not consumed (8).
Figure 1. Overfeeding on moderate to high protein (1.8-3.0g/kg) was associated with lean, but not fat mass gain, when
compared to overfeeding on low protein (0.68g/kg). Figure adapted from Bray et al (8).
Therefore, although energy balance is king in terms of determining whether you will gain
or lose weight, the macronutrient timing and composition is also important in terms of
the ratio of lean mass to fat mass that you gain or lose. Additionally, the macronutrient
ratio can also impact things like your energy level, satiety, performance, and recovery
which we will cover in a moment.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 14
Some Things To Consider Regarding Energy Balance
When we are in a caloric deficit we are eating less food than our body needs, and
essentially, we are nutrient deficient. Combine this with poor digestion or inflammatory
food responses and we have a larger issue. So, ensuring we have micronutrient dense
foods (wholefoods), eliminating (or limiting) pro-inflammatory foods such as gluten and
dairy or any foods that may cause you digestive discomfort, and making sure our overall
digestion is on point, will ensure we are staying as healthy as possible when in a deficit.
This will aid us in feeling our best. When we feel good, we will be more adherent to our
plan and function better overall!
When we are consuming calories at baseline or in a surplus then essentially we are not
deficient in nutrients. Although we may be consuming the right amount of calories, we
need to consider the quality or sources of those calories and whether or not they are
providing us with the nutrients we need for optimal health. So, for example, if someone
is eating 2000cals of processed meats, packaged goods, and doughnuts as opposed
to someone eating the same calories from predominantly whole foods and quality fresh
protein sources, the end results and overall health of the individual will be very different.
To summarize, focusing on macros will provide one part of the equation and will drive
results but if we also become more mindful of micros then we will accelerate our results
and health further.

The Importance Of Macronutrients For Body Composition
Results
Protein is the major building block to our lean body mass, but also helps us mitigate
muscle breakdown when we are in a deficit. Studies have consistently shown that
higher protein intakes lead to greater muscle retention during caloric restriction (9). So,
this macro is always of utmost importance in body composition results. When we
consume protein it is then broken down into amino acids and those amino acids provide
the building blocks for all processes in the body such as: repairing lean tissue,
synthesizing hormones like estrogen, they help synthesize our neurotransmitters, and
provide building blocks for things like our mucosal lining (membrane which lines the
surface of our internal organs). Each of the various protein sources has a different make
up of amino acids, so rotating our sources will ensure we are getting a wide spread of
amino acids from our diet, thus supporting optimal health.
Rotate your sources regularly to ensure you are receiving a large pool of amino
acids
Opt for leaner sources of proteins that have a higher protein density per 100g
(eg: Venison, Kangaroo, Wild Salmon. These sources are naturally leaner so they
have a larger density of protein per 100g, giving you less actual protein to digest.)
If you are having issues digesting proteins then consider utilising Apple Cider
Vinegar; this helps increase stomach acid levels to support the breakdown of
food. Dilute a small amount in water before your meal.
Always buy local and fresh if possible, if you look at farmed Salmon, for instance
it contains twice the amount of fat when compared to wild salmon, meaning more
calories and less nutrients overall.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 16
Food list of optimal protein sources
Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose which is either utilized for energy or
converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Glucose is our
body’s preferred source of energy. What that means is that if glucose is available the
body will use it before protein or fats. Although carbs are considered a non-essential
macronutrient compared to protein and fats, they are still highly essential for our overall
performance in the gym and for daily function.
The main consideration when it comes to carb intake is blood sugar management and
regulating our blood sugar levels. This is especially important for those with insulin
resistance, which makes up a large percentage of the population. When our blood sugar
is elevated and not controlled, fat loss is impaired. Additionally, studies have shown that
those with insulin resistance are 50-80% more likely to overeat following a moderate or
high glycaemic meal compared with a low glycaemic meal (10). The glycemic index (GI)
of course is a measure of how rapidly a given food raises blood sugar levels. A low
glycemic meal has a much lower blood glucose response.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 17
Carbohydrate prescription is largely dependent on the individual’s tolerance and
preference. If you feel better on carbs then you can include more carbs in your diet,
provided you are still hitting your minimum daily protein and fat targets. If you prefer a
lower carb and higher fat diet this is also okay, provided you hit your minimum daily fiber
target. The focus should be on finding a split which is sustainable for you. However, bear
in mind that if you are performing moderate to high volume anaerobic exercise, such as
the workouts you will be exposed to in this guide, then having some carbs in your diet
will improve performance. Low glycogen has been shown to reduce strength and
increase protein breakdown during high intensity resistance training (11,12).
Whether you opt for low carb or high carb, neither is more optimal overall for
results; how you feel and your personal preference takes priority.
Aim to consume carbs that help regulate blood sugar; Low GI carb sources will
give us a longer release of blood glucose over time allowing us to regulate blood
sugar better.
Post workout we are more insulin sensitive so carbs anytime post-workout will
replenish glycogen levels instead of spilling over into fat cells.
Carbs pre-workout can be great for mitigating muscle protein breakdown in some
individuals but can cause reactive hypoglycemia in others.
If you have difficulty falling asleep, carbs at night suppress cortisol and help with
the production of serotonin which is a precursor to melatonin, our sleep hormone.
Opt for more natural sources of carbs like potatoes, rice and vegetables and
avoid processed carbs as much as possible such as bread and pastas to optimize
health.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 18
Fats are integral to building our sex hormones like DHEA, testosterone and estrogen.
When we eat fats, we produce good cholesterol, and through cholesterol our sex
hormones are synthesized. Our sex hormones need to be optimized for overall health,
to build lean body mass, and to optimize fat loss. Low dietary fat intake (below 20% of
maintenance calories) has been shown to cause a reduction in androgen levels in men
(13). In women, it can lead to unstable estrogen levels around the menstrual cycle and/or
loss of their period. It can also lower libido levels.
Essential fatty acids, which are those that cannot be synthesized by the body and need
to be obtained from our diet, are one of the major components contributing to our overall
health. They help synthesize our cholesterol which is essential for creating our sex
hormones, help with motility (movements) in the gut, and help reduce overall
inflammation in the body. To break it down further, we have two types of essential fatty
acids; omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6 fatty acids. Neither one is worse or better than
the other, but we need to understand that a balanced ratio is key for optimal health and
performance. In today’s society most people have a ratio of 20:1 omega 6 to omega 3,
whereas a lower omega 6 to omega 3 ratio (2:1 or less) has been shown to reduce the
risk of many chronic diseases (14).
Monounsaturated fats are another type of fat that, although not classified as essential,
have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, improve blood lipid
profile, and protect against cardiovascular disease (15). Ideally, monounsaturated fats
should make up about 50% of total fat intake to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
(16). The remaining fat intake should be split evenly between saturated and
polyunsaturated fats (16).
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 19
One type of fat which has consistently been associated with increased risk of coronary
heart disease is trans fats (17). Trans fats are unsaturated fats which have been
chemically modified. They are primarily found in deep fried and processed foods. There is
no healthy or safe level of trans fats and their intake should be limited as much as
possible.
As you can see, we are exposed to huge amounts of inflammatory load not only due to
our lifestyle but from our food choices, too. Inflammation is one of the four major
disruptors to our body and overall health, along with things like circadian rhythm (sleep
routine), stress management, and blood sugar management. It is essential to reduce as
much of the inflammatory load as possible and regulate our fat intake by making
educated choices which will support such imbalances.

Food list of optimal fat sources
Understanding Fibre
What exactly is fiber? Fiber is the indigestible part of carbohydrates. It is made up of two
main types. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and is transformed into a gel like substance
which is digested by the good bacteria in the large intestine. It helps stabilize blood
sugar levels, lower cholesterol, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Insoluble
fiber does not dissolve in water and helps prevent constipation and diverticular disease.
Both types of fiber increase satiety and help lower the risk of many diseases including:
obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and others (18). Most high
fiber foods contain a combination of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The recommended
daily allowance (RDA) for fiber is 25g per day for females and 38g per day for males.
Soluble Insoluble

The Importance Of Micros For Wellness
Micronutrients have become secondary in nature when prioritizing nutritional
programming. So, why are micronutrients important and what are they for? Simply put,
micronutrients are fundamental building blocks to all processes in the body which are
required only in very small quantities. For example, Vitamin A is essential for our Red
blood cells and melatonin production helping support our immune system and sleep
hormones, which is essential for recovery, health and results.

7 How To Structure Your Nutrition
When it comes to structuring your nutrition, there are a few things we need to factor in to
ensure we structure things as accurately as possible for each individual.
Choose the right goal for you. Is your focus to build lean body mass or do you want to
prioritize fat loss? This is the starting point to decide whether we are going to drive a
deficit or surplus with our nutritional programming.
BMR: (Basal Metabolic rate) The amount of calories your body requires to function at
complete rest; it is the energy required essential processes such as breathing,
brain function, heart beat etc.
NEAT: (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) This is related to all the incidental
movements we do daily,
TEF: (Thermic Effect Of Feeding) This is related to the amount of calories it takes to
digest our food, the main contributor to this is protein.
PAL: (Physical Activity Level) Is our planned exercise such as weights, cardio etc.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 23
This equation can be further simplified to:
PAL which stands for physical activity level is an all encompassing multiplication factor
which includes NEAT, TEF and exercise.
Use the tdeecalculator to calculate your total daily TDEE and use the body fat guide
below to assess roughly where your body fat percentage is to provide the right amount of
calories in accordance with your actual body weight.
Remember, this is a rough guide, the aim is to establish nutrition goals which are as
accurate as possible and, overtime (as you assess progress) you can make adjustments.
This book will provide guidance around daily weigh ins, weight averages and how to
adjust calorie and macro goals accordingly.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 24
Fat Loss
For the average person wanting to lose body fat about 0.5kg or 1 pound is a sustainable
rate of weight loss per week. This would require roughly a 500 calorie deficit per day as
our starting point, which equates to 3500 cals per week. The leaner you are the less
aggressive you should be with your deficit as you are at greater risk of lean muscle loss
(19). On the other hand, the more body fat you carry, the more aggressive you can be with
your deficit as body fat has a muscle sparing effect (19). So, adjusting calorie intake to suit
your body composition is completely fine and encouraged.
To calculate our Phase 1 nutrition for fat loss simply take your calculated TDEE and minus
500.
To calculate our Phase 1 nutrition for fat loss simply take your calculated TDEE and minus
500.
For example:
For a 30 year old female at 60kg with 22% body fat who is 155cm tall we would end up
with a TDEE of 2140 calories if we enter her stats into the TDEE calculator. Wanting to lose
0.5kg/1lbs per week we would minus 500 from 2140 which equals 1640cals as a starting
point.
For a 40 year old male at 100kg with 18% body fat who is 180cm tall we would end up
with a TDEE of 3139 calories if we enter his stats into the TDEE calculator. Wanting to lose
0.5kg/1lbs per week we would minus 500 from 3139 which equals 2639cals as a starting
point.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 25
Muscle Building
For the average person wanting to build muscle, we would calculate their TDEE but
instead of subtracting calories, we would start adding calories instead. Our suggestion is
to start at baseline which is your calculated TDEE and only increase from there once you
have hit a plateau. If strength is going up in the gym, it is safe to say you are growing, so
maximize your growth on those calories before increasing. In regards to increasing
calories, if you are an individual that gains body fat easily, increase calories by 5% each
jump. If you are a hard gainer (or find it challenging to build muscle) then going more
aggressive with 10% increments may be what you need to continually make progress.
The main consideration when bulking is to focus on gaining quality lean body mass but
keeping body fat at a respectable level. This will ensure body composition is always
optimized and you are always in a prime state for growth, not gaining excessive body fat
and negatively influencing the LBM to fat mass ratio.
For example:
For a 30 year old female at 60kg with 15% body fat who is 155cm tall and is an easy gainer
we would end up with a TDEE of 2281 calories if we enter her stats into the TDEE
calculator. We would then stay there until she has hit a plateau and then increase by 5%
for the next phase.
For a 35 year old male at 85kg with 12% body fat who is 180cm tall and is a hard gainer
we would end up with a TDEE of 3078 calories if we enter his stats in the TDEE calculator.
We would then stay there until he has hit a plateau and then increase by 10% for the next
phase.

Step 4: How To Choose The Right Macronutrient Split
Once we have set our starting calories it is essential we prescribe the right
macronutrients. This mainly comes down to your preference but, again there are some
guidelines to follow to make things more effective.
Option 1
Protein: 2 - 2.5g per kg of body weight
Fats: 0.8-1.2g per kg of body weight
Carbs: The remaining calories (take the remaining calories
and divide by 4 to find the gram amount)
Option 2
Protein: 2 - 2.5g per kg of body weight
Fats/ Carbs: 40:60 split for all meals
If you want an easy go-to ratio to keep things simple, then use option 2. We need to
program protein as our priority then split the remaining calories into a 40:60 split 40% fats
and 60% carbs. We can then adjust calories accordingly and keep things the same each
phase, whether it be for fat loss or lean body mass gain.

After several weeks in a deficit it is normal to hit a plateau as the metabolism adapts to the
lower caloric intake. At this point, if we are still feeling pretty good and our biofeedback
markers are in check, we can drop calories a little lower by about 5-10% and see if that
kick starts the fat loss again. This process can be repeated several times but we do not
recommend staying in a deficit for more than 12 weeks at a time before coming out of the
deficit for a couple of weeks to reset.
If, after several weeks in a deficit, you plateau but your biofeedback markers indicate that
the onset of metabolic adaptations is too severe, then you can consider doing a refeed or
diet break. Typically if you have only been in a deficit for a couple of weeks we recommend
a 2-3 day refeed. If you respond favorably to the refeed you can plan a 2-3 day refeed every
5-12 days based on your biofeedback markers. If you have been in a deficit for longer than
4 weeks and you are crashing then consider doing a 1 week diet break instead. If you have
been in a deficit longer than 6 weeks in a deficit a 2 week diet break would be better, and
if you have been in a deficit for up to 12 weeks then, ideally you should come out of the diet
for at least 3-4 weeks.
Basically, the longer you have been in a deficit the longer you should come out before
going back on your diet. The benefit of doing this, versus continually dieting until you hit
your goal weight, is that it allows you to maintain a greater amount of muscle mass and
preserve your metabolism, making it less likely that you will regain lost fat.

8 Lifestyle and Optimizing Your
Health Through Daily Life Practices
Hypoglycemia is a term which refers to having low blood sugar levels and associated
with the following symptoms:
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 29
So, having the ability to produce these stress hormones and mobilize stored energy
helps keep everything in check.
When we are stressed we are in a ‘sympathetic state,’ also known as our ‘fight or flight’
response. This provides us with the requirements we need to mobilize our stored energy
and primes our body to fight off or avoid a threat. Though this is essential for training, we
only want to be in this state for a short period of time as producing these hormones, or
being in this state consistently will negatively impact our overall health. The sympathetic
state is the body’s main survival mechanism, so other vital systems, such as digestion and
hormone regulation, are shut down during this time. This is why, when we are in a stressed
state, we can experience issues with our digestion and, for females, the regulation of their
menstrual cycle.
Sleep and sleep-management are crucial and have a drastic impact on our results.
Adequate sleep is key for our overall health but also our body composition as it is during
sleep when we repair, recover and go through many processes of regeneration essential
for managing either fat loss or muscle gain. Being deficient in sleep may reduce our
immune response, down regulate a number of hormones in the body and impede on other
bodily systems such as clearance (of toxins) to help regulate other compounds in our body
for optimal function (20,21).
This guide provides ways to improve the management of our stress and sleep.

Maximising Your Sleep
Bedtime Routine For Sleep
Turn off all TV’s, phones etc before dinner.
Go for a 10-20min walk after dinner to destress and promote a parasympathetic
state.
Take bedtime supplements with passionflower tea 30min before bed.
30min prior to sleep, journal, read a book, use your meditation app.
Try and avoid blue light (digital screens, fluorescent & LED lighting) at night; so a
dark room with dull, amber lighting is encouraged.
Make sure your room is cool and completely dark when sleeping.
Bedtime Supplements
Magnesium Taurate: (magnesium is a down regulator which means it helps calm
our body down and taurine is a precursor to the production of gaba, the calming
neurotransmitter in the brain). This is ideal for those who have trouble getting to
sleep.
Melatonin: this helps with our sleep-wake cycles and is ideal for those who have
trouble staying asleep.
Passion Flower Tea: this helps extend the half life of gaba, so keeps our brain
activity more regulated and calm for a longer period of time.

Meditation 101
The practice of meditation has become popular in many Western nations, especially in the
USA. An ever-increasing body of research has shown various health benefits associated
with meditation. These include: reduced stress, reduced blood pressure and heart rate,
reduced anxiety and depression, reduced physical and psychological pain, and improved
memory, breathing pattern, oxygen utilization, skin resistance, and blood flow to the brain
(22). Additionally, research has shown that meditation positively impacts gene expression
and DNA telomere length, leading to increased lifespan and reduced national health care
costs (22).
While there are many forms of meditation and covering each one in depth is beyond the
scope of this guide, the most important thing is that you get into the habit of doing it
regularly. We recommend at least 20 minutes per day, ideally first thing in the morning or
before bed. But irrespective of the time and the type of meditation that you choose to do,
the most important thing is to just do it.

9 Home Workout Training
There are two training systems to follow, one is a 12 weeks fat loss program the second is
a 12 week hypertrophy (muscle building) program.
The fat loss training system is designed to increase muscular strength endurance,
improve cardiovascular conditioning, and maximize fat loss through increased training
density in each phase. Density simply means more work done in the same amount of
time, which is a key component to fat loss. In each session you will train the full body
using superset, tri-sets, and giant sets to drive up energy expenditure.
Supersets refers to when we perform two exercises in a row with minimum rest in
between. Trisets is when we perform three exercises in a row with minimum rest, and
giant sets is when we perform four or more exercises in a row with minimum rest in
between.
The hypertrophy system focuses on increasing local metabolic stress and time under
tension using specific shock methods to overload the muscle groups we are trying to
work. This will drive more specific adaptations which promote muscle growth by
exhausting all the motor units within each muscle group. Here you will train on a body
part split, focusing more on creating local muscle fatigue.
Each program has its own specific glute and core finishers for females or arm and core
finishers for males. These are optional and can be used if you want to give a little extra
attention to those areas.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 33
Home body weight circuits have also been provided if you wish to add these into your
training or if equipment is limited; these are conditioning based and focused more on fat
loss results.
Understanding Periodization
Periodization is the systematic design from one program to the next, ensuring each
program is progressive over time. Just following a workout does not cut it! If we want to
maximize our results, we need to ensure the program is designed in accordance with
continual progress.
Phase 1-3 Fat Loss is a reverse linear periodization model where, in each phase, you will
increase the volume and density by increasing the sets and repetitions, while reducing
the rest periods, forcing you to do more work in the same amount of time. You will
progress from supesets to tri-sets and finally to giant sets from one phase to the next.
This will ensure that as your muscular and cardiovascular conditioning improves, you
continue challenging your body throughout the program. The reason this is important
is because as your conditioning improves, you will actually burn less energy doing the
same thing. Therefore, you need to force your body to do more work in some shape or
form to continue driving energy expenditure.
Phase 1-3 Hypertrophy we are also using a reverse linear periodization model by
increasing the volume and density each phase. The difference here is, instead of
training the full body in each session and pairing up upper and lower body exercises to
drive up energy expenditure, we are pairing up exercises for the same body part to
maximize muscle fatigue. Here we will start with straight sets then progress to supersets
and finally to trisets from one phase to the next.
Series
The first pairing would be the A) series, denoted as A1) and A2) as per below:
A1: Leg Press
A2: Shoulder Press
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 34
The next series would be the B) series, which looks like:
B1: Lying Leg Curl Toes Neutral
B2: Assisted Supinated Pull-Up
Sets
A set is a group of consecutive repetitions of an exercise before resting. For example, 5 x
10-12 reps, would mean that you will do 10-12 reps of a particular exercise 5 times in total.
Reps
A rep is one complete cycle of an exercise involving a concentric (lifting) and an
eccentric (lowering) phase . For example, if the program states 5 x 10-12 reps, that would
mean you perform the movement for 10-12 reps for 5 sets.
Tempo
Tempo refers to the speed or velocity at which each repetition is executed. It is broken up
into a 4-digit number to denote each phase of the repetition cycle. For example, a tempo
of 4010 would be broken down as per below:
4 - The first number always refers to the eccentric (lowering) component of the
movement. So, you would take 4 seconds to lower the weight for each repetition.
0 - The second number refers to the bottom position of the movement which, in most
cases is the part of the movement where the exercise is the hardest. A 0 would mean
that there is no pause or hold at the bottom of the exercise.
1 - The third number refers to the concentric part of the moment (lifting) which is
generally when you are lifting the weight back up to the starting position. This would
be on your way up from the bottom of the movement.
0 - The fourth and final number refers to the top position of the movement, which in
most cases is the beginning or easiest part of the lift. This would be when you are
standing in a dead stop position.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 35
Progressive Overload
Training at home, one of the biggest limitations we have is the availability to continually
increase weight. So, there are a few things we can focus on to ensure that we are still
thoroughly stimulating our muscles at each workout:
Hit the upper end of the rep range for each set of a given exercise before
increasing the load. For example, for an 8-10 rep set, if you can do 10 reps with
perfect form for all the sets, then increase weight at the next workout. If you
can’t get the top end of the rep range for all your sets then keep the weight the
same next workout and try to do a couple of more reps over the course of your
sets.
Ensuring technique and tempo are both on point is crucial to ensure we are
activating the right muscle group but also working that particular muscle group
over a longer period of time, which will mean we are doing more overall work.
So, focus on executing optimal technique with the designated tempo and we
will drive results to the greatest potential.
Use special techniques such as paused reps, 1 ¼ reps, band resistance, and
manual resistance to increase overload on the muscles without having to use
very heavy loads. Paused reps and 1 ¼ reps overload the weakest position of an
exercise by either performing a pause or a quarter rep at that point in a
repetition, which causes you to fatigue quicker without needing a lot of weight.
Adding band resistance or manual resistance to an exercise allows you to
increase tension on the muscles without having to increase the load.
In each training phase (in particular, for fat loss) there will be specific cardio training
guidelines to follow:
3-4 x 20-30min steady state low intensity (This phase is focused on your
heart rate being at 65% of your max HR)
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 36
Phase 2: Weeks 5-8
3-4 x 20min High Intensity Intervals 20sec work followed by 100secs active
recovery followed by 10-20min steady state (This phase is focused on 100%
effort executed for the sprint portion of the cardio prescription).
The longer and more aggressive the deficit when dieting, the more our body tries to
preserve our energy expenditure. This is where we start to experience a ‘slow down’ of our
normal daily movement patterns, which means we are in essence burning less calories.
This is why some people, even though they drop their calories further, do not yield the
same results. Their body simply adapts and moves less due to adaptation, thus
mitigating the effects of the lower caloric intake. So, over the course of our program we
want to attack all variables to ensure we are still making progress. Though we can not
directly impact NEAT, we can track and dictate movement output through our daily steps.
How we periodise steps for fat loss, should look something like this:
Week 1-4: 8000-10,000 Steps
Week 5-8: 10,000-12,000 Steps
Week 9-12: 12,000-14,000 Steps
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 37
Although this is essential to ensure we are progressing for fat loss, this is not the case
for hypertrophy, maintenance or general health. Our goal will be to hit a minimum
target of 10,000 per day as this is beneficial to keep your general cardiovascular and
health markers at optimal levels.

10 Supplements
Although we should be able to obtain all the nutrients we need from wholefoods alone, in
today’s environment, nutrition is not enough for us to get everything we need. Food
quality is poor, the soil and environment in which our food is grown is not as it once was,
and there are many external factors that are leading to greater nutrient deficiencies. In
fact, a recent review of the four most popular diets showed that they all failed to meet the
RDA for at least half of the 27 essential micronutrients (24).
Remember, essential nutrients are those that can only be obtained from our diet. The
researchers even took it a step further and calculated how many calories for each of the
respective diets would be required to reach 100% sufficiency in all the essential
micronutrients. It may shock you to find out that the number was between 18,800 and
37,500 calories per day! Yes, you read that correctly. That means it does not matter how
good your diet is, it is simply impossible to meet all your micronutrient requirements with
the food quality we have today.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 41
Figure 3. Caloric intake for four popular diets required to meet the RDA for all 27 micronutrients was shown to
be far in excess of what can be consumed in a day. Figure adapted from Calton (24).
That is why on August 31st 2002 the American Medical Association reversed their
long-standing anti-vitamin policy by stating;
“ The Journal of the American Medical Association today is advising all adults to take at least
one multivitamin pill each day.”
So, outside of a good multivitamin/mineral supplement to help fill in the nutritional gaps,
here are a few other potentially useful supplements to help optimize your general health,
wellbeing, and results:
Vitamin D
Antimicrobial, meaning it helps fight of any opportunistic bacteria
Supports thyroid function and metabolism
Supports immune system function

11 Tracking Your Progress At Home
Tracking is essential to assess whether or not we are progressing. Making progress every
week tends to be the marker individuals use to ensure they are getting closer to their big
goal and final result, but unfortunately this is not always the case.
We will have some weeks where we consistently drop weight and build lean muscle
mass but all great results are not necessarily linear. So, what do you need to know about
tracking to ensure you are on track? There are a few simple things to measure to ensure
you are moving in the right direction:
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 44
Understanding Body Composition Assessment Metrics
Body Composition Assessment
This can be done with a few different metrics, the main ones we will use at home are
tracking our body weight but also girth measurements (specific body circumference
measurements). This will ensure we can compare markers to see what areas we need to
prioritize more specifically with our nutrition and training.
This will tell us (whether your goal is weight loss or weight gain) if your nutrition and
training prescriptions are right. If your weight progress does not drop then we need to
adjust calories lower. If you are building and your weight does not go up accordingly,
maybe your calories are too low. Either way, we want to ensure we have the data to make
educated decisions.
However, we do not want to make adjustments in accordance with a daily weigh in.
Why? Our weight fluctuates daily from things as simple as hydration and meal timing, to
digestion and hormone regulation, fluid retention, and even sleep can affect daily weight.
It is important to take your weight consistently; every day, preferably as soon as you
wake up, without clothes on and after going to the bathroom so things are as accurate as
possible. At the end of each week you will
calculate your weekly average and assess what changes, if any, are occurring. If fat loss
is your goal and your average weight is frequently dropping then you know you are on
the right path and vice versa for lean mass gain.
The rate at which we lose or gain weight is dictated by how aggressive of a deficit or
surplus we are in. This can lead to either positive or negative results. If we lose weight
too fast or gain weight too quickly, we can assume that we are gaining substantially more
body fat than we should be in a building phase or losing more lean body mass (muscle)
and less fat then we want in a cut.
When trying to assess weight as a metric for progress the key focus is to retain or gain
our muscle mass and focus on maintaining or losing body fat. This is dependent on the
outcome we are trying to achieve through our programming. If we are in a fat loss phase,
it is safe to say that if your weights are going up in your workouts, and your strength is
increasing over time, then at the very least you are retaining lean muscle mass. So, if we
want to optimize fat loss without losing muscle mass, pushing hard and ensuring
progression in the gym is key.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 45
You want to lose 3kgs over 12 weeks aim to lose about 0.25kg per week
You want to lose 6kgs over 12 weeks aim to lose about 0.5kg per week
You want to lose 12kgs over 12 weeks aim to lose about 1kg per week
This is speaking in terms of body weight loss and does not equate to the exact amount of
fat lost over time, as in most cases the individual will have gained some lean body mass
in the process which would make the total amount of fat lost a little more than the
difference in weight from start to finish.
Girth Measurements
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 46
Biofeedback Markers
Biofeedback markers are key markers we use to assess how we are feeling and how our
body is responding to all aspects of the program. We use these markers to assess if any
adaptation is occuring, whether it be negative or positive. We need feedback on both so
we can appropriately make adjustments when necessary.
Section 1: Lifestyle
Section 2: Nutrition
Nutritional Compliance
Digestive Health
Hunger / Appetite
Section 3: Training
Each marker plays a specific role to help us define the areas we need to focus on and
guide us in implementing the right strategies to mitigate plateaus of any kind.
The Ultimate Home Workout Guide Copyright CHFI IPHoldings PTY. LTD. 2020 47
Maximizing Your Progress Photos
Taking progress pictures is one of the best methods to assess how you are tracking.
Numbers are great, but often the numbers do not reflect the progress we are making,
which is why we want to use different methods and correlate the data to ensure clarity in
our assessment. Photos are a great way to see the changes in fat loss, lean body mass
and even the change in body shape and posture.
When taking photos, make sure you have good lighting (a nice bright room is best).
During the day, when the natural light is high, is the optimal time to take your photos.
Try and have a neutral or blank background or use the same place in every photo for
consistency. Ensure the camera is set up or the photo is taken from the same place each
time. You will need to take a front, side and back photo like the images below. Ideally, you
should take photos in a relaxed state and in a tensed state to see differences in shape in
both states.
When it comes to tracking, remember the more data you have the better; but try not to
become fixated on the numbers. If the scale does not move but your clothes are fitting
better and you are feeling better, then you are on the right track. Give your body time to
make adjustments and understand that it is a journey and a process, if you stay
consistent then you will get to where you need to be. If you have an ‘off day,’ just get right
back on track the next day!
