Welcome
You there. You look new. We don't know you. Hi! Welcome to the Fit
Girl Revolution join the party! Wait, what about me over here? I've
been a Fit Girl for like 437 days. Welcome to you too, of course.
Obviously. We're old friends. We know all each other's secrets. We've
had like 7 slumber parties and 2 road trips. We're pretty tight.
!
For all our newbies who don't know what Fit Girls is all about and just,
like, accidentally stumbled on our website and into this download, we
run 28 day Group Challenges every 5-6 weeks through our
@fitgirlsguide Insta page. Group Challenges are when everyone
follows the official Challenge eBooks at the same time and spends
the month fitspiring each other, developing confidence like whoa,
and just generally having a fierce time chilling out on Insta together.
It's basically the best worldwide fitness girl hang ever, if we do say so
ourselves. The official Challenge eBooks are the The 28 Day Jumpstart,
Fitkini Body Challenge and Fit Girls Boot Camp. Deets on page 21-23! Also
check out our BETA app for extra accountability along the way!

If you're not comfortable posting from your regular Insta account, you
can make a separate fitness account. That's why you see so many girls
with Fit Girl names commenting on our Insta page. Those are the
accounts girls have made to share their fitness journeys with each
other. Oh and PS you can also find us on other social media here

H.I.I.T It
HIIT (aka High Intensity Interval Training) is a form of interval training
where you alternate between working your butt off and active rest
where you walk or lightly jog in place. HIIT workouts are short but
super effective. They help you build endurance, lose fat while
maintaining muscle, and burn more calories throughout the day after
you're done exercising.
But you have to work for it. During the work your butt off portion of
the intervals you're working at 90% of your max effort. There's no time
for chatting. It's all about you and your fierceness. You're working as
hard as you can while keeping proper form. Never ever sacrifice form for
speed. That's how injuries happen.
HIIT is only recommended for advanced exercises. But have no fear! If
you're new, you can do MIIT instead. That's Moderate Intensity
Interval Training. You're working about 60% of your max effort or
whatever you have to give!
You'll need an interval timer app for these workouts. There are loads
of free ones online. You can also get a special Tabata app for the two
Tabata Trio workouts. They already have the special Tabata interval
timing in place.
Remember to always warm up for 5 minutes and cool down for 3
minutes at the end of your workouts. (PS: And don't forget to stretch
when you're done. No really. Don't make your body mad at you. You
and your body must be EFFs epic friends forever.)

Dont mess with a chick


who woke up early
and is on a mission.

My First H.I.I.T.
New to HIIT or don't have loads of time? Start here! Remember you
can easily modify HIIT for Beginners by working at a moderate pace
instead of a high pace. Be your own Fit Girl. There's no judging here.
See the next page for descriptions of exercises!

20 secs Squat Jumps


20 secs Cross Jacks
20 secs Box Taps
1 minute active rest

PICK A LEVEL. Repeat the whole sequence 3 times for Beginners (6 minutes),
6 times for Intermediate (12 minutes), and 10 times for Advanced (20 minutes).

THE SQUAT JUMP. Do a standard


squat but with your arms next to
your ears to make it harder. Blast
up into a jump and then land
through the balls of your feet
back into a squat. Legs shoulderwidth apart, tummy engaged.
Squat less deeply if that's better
for your body.

THE CROSS JACK. A fun spin


on jumping jacks. Jump out
with your arms out, jump in
and cross your arms and legs
in front of you, jump out again,
jump in and reverse the cross.

THE BOX TAP. Stand in front of an object


and lightly tap it with one foot. Jump,
switch feet, and tap the object with the
opposite foot, landing through the ball of
your standing foot with a soft knee. Keep
doing this continuously. If youre up for the
challenge, do these on your chair or bench
so you have less equipment to drag
around. The lower the object you tap, the
easier the exercise but its an intense
exercise no matter what.

Tabata Trio
Get out your Tabata timer apps for this one! A Tabata is when you
complete 8 rounds of 20 seconds hard work / 10 seconds active rest for
one exercise. 4 minutes total. You'll be doing 3 full Tabatas for this
workout aka 8 rounds of 20 seconds work/10 seconds rest for each
exercise. Exercise descriptions are, again, on the next page!

1 Mountain Climber Tabata


1 minute active rest
!

1 Jump Rope Tabata


1 minute active rest
!

1 Squat Jump Tabata


1 minute active rest

PICK A LEVEL. If you're a beginner, only do the first two Tabatas and take
a longer rest if needed. If you're advanced, repeat this whole workout
twice (aka 6 Tabatas total).

THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER. Start at the top of a


push up tummy engaged, one straight line,
you know the drill. Now bring your right knee
up so the ball of the right foot is touching the
floor. Jump and switch the position of your legs
so the left leg is bent and the ball of the left foot
is touching the floor. For this exercise, you can go
faster once you ace the form just so long as
you keep a perfect plank and keep your tummy
engaged. Cardio + full body toning = A+ Fit Girl
move.

THE JUMP ROPE. Real jump roping. Faux


jump roping. It don't matter. Just make
sure if you're faux jump roping that you
jump like you're actually trying to make it
over a rope. Feel free to get fancy with
crossovers and any other rope tricks you
have up your sleeve.

THE SQUAT JUMP. Do a standard squat


but with your arms next to your ears to
make it harder. Blast up into a jump and
then land through the balls of your feet
back into a squat. Legs shoulder-width
apart, tummy engaged. Squat less deeply
if that's better for your body.

feet, and tap the object with the opposite
foot, landing through the ball of your

Stand up and jump into the air.
Land with bent knees through
the balls of your feet and go back
down into a crouch for your next
burpee.

THE BENCH HOP.Freaking


heart this exercise so hard.
Hold your bench by the sides
and jump over it. Then jump
back to where you came
from. You can mime this
exercise with a chair if you
don't have a bench. Just hold
the chair and pretend you're
hopping over a bench.
Works just as well.

Hiit hair

Abs for Days


Last but not least, abs abs abs abs that's 4 abs on account of you'll be
doing 4 exercises. Prepare to make your core hate you but love you too!

30 secs Russian Twists

30 secs Mountain Climbers

30 secs Bicycle Crunches

30 secs Plank

1 minute active rest

PICK A LEVEL. Repeat the whole sequence 2 times for Beginners (6 minutes),
5 times for Intermediate (15 minutes), and 8 times for Advanced (24 minutes).

THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER. Youre a champion mountain climber now, right?


THE BICYCLE CRUNCH. This is one of
the most effective core exercises, so
get ready to do a lot of them. Start
lying down on the ground and then
crunch up with your elbow reaching
toward your opposite knee and the
other leg extended at a 45 degree
angle. Now switch sides. Keep
alternating as you go. Make sure
your hands are to the sides of your
ears not behind your head so that
you're only using your core to lift and
not straining your neck.
THE RUSSIAN TWIST. Sit on the floor leaning
slightly back with your legs together, back straight,
and tummy pulled in tight tight tight. Lift your legs
off the floor a few inches. Now twist from one side
to the other keeping your legs as still as possible. All
the movement is coming from your core. This takes
practice to master. Dont be frustrated if your legs
want to move at first. As you learn to engage your
abs harder, youll be able to keep your legs stiller.
This is an awesome exercise worth investing practice
time in! (PS: Rest your heels gently on the floor until
you master the form and then raise them up like our
girl Meg here once you get more experienced!)

THE PLANK. Start in the top of a pushup then lower to your forearms. Now,
imitate a plank of wood by tilting your pelvis forward and pulling your belly
button toward your spine. Dont let your neck droop. Squeeze your abs as
tight as you can throughout the whole plank so your back doesnt arch. This
is what gets you results and what keeps your back and shoulders safe.
Breathe. Youre planking! #applause
