HK The Hourglass Plan

Introduction Hello my honey’s Helin here, welcome to my long anticipated fitness plan :) Ive been meaning to make my plan for so long, and I know that so many of you ladies have been asking me for months on end about when it will be released and well, today is our lucky because I’ve finally decided to sit down and write down everything I have done from start to finish about my LONG fitness journey over the last 2 and a half years.

Plan 8 week body transformation. Gym based booty pump plan, for toned thighs and an hourglass figure.

***Please Note: With every exercise in need of weights, to ensure the best results, you

must push yourself to up the weight level you use over time. You will know that you are using the correct weight if you feel tired around the 8th rep of each set. If you realize you don’t feel much difficulty, increase the weight. This workout plan only highlights my 3 out of 6 days a week sessions. I only focus on legs 3-4 days a week (generally every other day). If you would like to add extra leg days simply pick between day 1-3 and continue your week. When following this plan you should continue with your regular cardio/ upper body / core routine. During the in between days which you will not be working on legs, you are encouraged to incorporate the core/ hit workout sections on pages 5-6, or you may also purchase my “ab plan” for my full ab routine. DIET: It is encouraged that you maintain a healthy lifestyle over all to ensure the best results. Eating clean, staying focused and dedicated will allow your body to progress at a much faster pace as well as ensure you lasting results. Disclaimer: I am not a certified personal trainer this is simply what I have learned over the years.

Day One

Before the beginning of every leg day, start with 10-20 min of cardio. Keeping at an upbeat pace you can either speed walk/ run on the treill, elliptical or stairmaster.

Barbell Squat - 3 sets x 12 reps / 2 sets x 5 reps (heavy) Position yourself in either a squat rack or smith machine. With the bar placed on your upper back begin the movement by bending at your knees and lowering your body to a position where your upper leg is parallel to the floor. Push through your heeling ensuring your chest stays up to finish out the movement. Repeat. Jump squat with weight- 3 sets x 15 reps Start by doing a regular squat, then power jump up explosively. When you land, lower your body back into the starting squat position to complete your rep. Hip thrusts - 4 sets x 12 reps Begin seated on the ground with a bench behind you. Have a loaded barbell over your legs.Roll the bar so that it is directly above your hips, and lean back against the bench so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it. Begin the movement by pushing up through your feet, extending your hips vertically through the bar. Your weight should be ed by your shoulder blades as well as your feet. Extend as far as possible, squeeze your glutes then reverse the motion to return to the starting position. Weighted lunges - 3 sets x 8 reps (Per Leg) Keep your upper body straight, with your shoulders back and relaxed and chin up.Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle.
