TO BE
CAPTAIN
IS NO
EASY TASK.
It’s not about how much talent or skill you have —
it’s about how hard you’re willing to work. A captain
leads by example, treats others with respect and
expects nothing in return. A captain demands the
absolute best because a captain never settles.
Never makes excuses. Never cuts corners. Never
asks, “Why me?” To be captain means to be tough.
To be disciplined. To be confident. A captain does
not fear failure, but learns, grows and comes back
stronger because of it. A captain shows up early
and stays late. A captain sees every obstacle as a
new opportunity. A captain makes decisions based
on purpose and intent. A captain rises by
lifting others.

ATHLETICS
HAVE BEEN THE
BIGGEST PART OF
MY LIFE SINCE I
CAN REMEMBER.
I grew up playing soccer, basketball and track. I even-
tually went on to compete as a Division 1 hurdler and
heptathlete for the University of Oregon. I worked hard
to earn a Captain position on my teams. I strived to be
a positive example and a strong leader — always.
Letting my teammates down was never an option for
me, and I will continue to carry that mentality with me
for the rest of my life. After my collegiate athletic ca-
reer ended due to a disappointing experience & de-
veloping an eating disorder, I soon discovered that
my true passion was not for competing in sports, but
for helping others gain their confidence and self-love
back after losing it, like I had lost mine.

I SEE YOU AS MY
TEAMMATE.
WE’RE IN THIS BIG, SCARY, EXCITING
GAME OF LIFE TOGETHER & I WANT US
ALL TO WIN! The challenge is not the ache in your
lungs or the burning in your legs, it’s the voice in your
head telling you, “I can’t.” I have taught myself to
ignore my thoughts and to drown out all the doubt.
To push harder and to remember why I started on this
journey. My mission is to help that little voice in your
head fade away, too. For you to whisper to yourself
when you are in pain and about to give up,
“I CAN.”
This is the moment that you will discover that the
person you thought you were is no match for the
person you are now, and not even close to the person
you are about to become! If there is one thing more
fulfilling to me than reaching a personal goal, it’s
helping someone else reach one of their own. I want
to help you! I created this Guide to share with you the
tools and skills you can use to create your dream body
and most importantly, to become the best possible
version of yourself. You deserve it!

Home Body is 8-weeks long,
but it can be repeated as many times as desired.
Every other week you will repeat the same workouts,
so that you can track your progress. So, weeks 1 and 3
will be the same, weeks 2 and 4 will be the same, weeks
5 and 7 will be the same and weeks 6 and 8 will be the
same.
LISS
LOW-INTENSITY
STEADY STATE
TRAINING
LISS stands for Low-Intensity Steady State training. Opposed to
HIIT being a form of anaerobic exercise, LIIS is a form of aerobic
exercise. Going for a jog, walk, swim, or hike are all great examples
of LISS exercise because they require low intensity for an extended
period of time. A LISS workout should be low impact and not
over-taxing on the body.
LISS is great for increased energy, better blood flow, a stronger
heart, overall cardiovascular health, & burning calories.
However, due to the principle of adaptation, the body can quickly
become more aerobically efficient, so only doing LISS training can
eventually become counterproductive to your goals, especially if
one of your goals is long-term fat loss & maintenance.
15
HOME BODY
THE GUIDE
HIIT
LISS &
To keep up with the body’s quick aerobic adaptation
process, a person would need to continually run for
longer & longer distances and durations just to burn the
same amount of calories they did when they first started.
That’s why having a balance of both types of cardio is
so vital. It keeps the body guessing, and it helps
prevent cardio plateau.

POST WORKOUT STACK
Proper post workout nutrition is the MOST
IMPORTANT window in your training!
If you want to see the best results from your training, I high-
ly recommend 1st Phorm’s Post Workout Stack, which includes
both Phormula-1 (protein) & Ignition (glucose). Ignition will
rapidly replenish your glycogen levels, which equates to muscle
energy. At the same time, Phormula-1 is a rapid assimilation
protein isolate, which means it will absorb into your muscles
quickly and begin to repair them fast! By taking these two
products after you workout, you will feel less sore and have an
easier time building lean muscle - which can help you burn more
fat. Added bonus, they taste incredible!

LEVEL-1 PROTEIN
This is a meal replacement protein, not to be confused
with the Phormula-1 post workout protein, shown pre-
viously. One of the biggest mistakes that my clients
make is not eating frequently enough or consuming
enough protein. Did you know that protein can help
you burn fat?! This is because protein promotes lean
muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the more cal-
ories your body burns. The more calories your body
burns, the more fat you can shed. When I increased
my protein intake, I saw incredible improvements in
my physique! I was gaining lean muscle and shedding
stubborn fat. For strict dieters, eating more can be a
huge struggle. Or, if you’re like me, you might not al-
ways have enough time to cook a meal or just don’t
feel like it. Protein also keeps you fuller for longer. This
is crucial in weight loss because you won’t let overeat-
ing sabotage your success. Whether your goal is to
lose fat or to build lean & toned muscle, you will ben-
efit from Level-1. This is the same protein I use in my
mug cakes, coffee, shakes, ice cream, pancakes,
waffles & MORE! Below is one of my favorite guilt free
Level-1 protein desserts!

TIP 03:
MEASURE
YOUR
SUCCESS
DITCH THE SCALE!
Your weight can fluctuate drastically over the
course of a 24-48 hour period. Depending on what
you ate, how much water you drank, if your food
contained sodium, what time of day you weighed
yourself, your weight may change. You may also find
that the scale went up because you gained some
muscle. This is called body recomp (which is especially
common when you’re a beginner to weight training). You
must keep in mind that muscle outweighs fat. Muscle
is approximately 18% more dense than fat.
Tracking weekly measurements will keep you in check
& allow you to not focus as much on the scale. While
your weight may fluctuate, your waist, hips, & other
measurements may be decreasing.

I believe that a successful transformation takes
more than a nutrition plan & workout guide. It also
takes support, encouragement & motivation, which is
why I created my exclusive Facebook community,
#teamcpt. We are a TEAM. We motivate one anoth-
er. We provide honest advice and feedback through
our own experiences. We do not judge or disrespect.
We lift each other higher and we become stronger &
healthier, together! Here is a quote from one of my
amazing team members:
“
“I’ve joined many different groups and challenges and this
one is by far the most interactive, and effective. I

truly feel like I’m a part of the team. I love the daily

new friends and learned so much. It really makes me
emotional just thinking about it.

At the start of the second minute, complete 2 sprints (down

You’ll do 3 sprints the third minute, and so on, continuing to
add one 10

quired number of 10 meter sprints in the given minute.
