4 weeks. 12 sessions.
Page 3: learn the 5 movements and pick your starting weights (they are lower than you think — that lowers your quit-risk).
Mon · Wed · Fri (or any 3 days, 1 rest day between). Each session: page 4's plan, ~25 minutes, logged on page 5.
Page 6: fill the week's progress row. Same day, every week — that's the whole secret.
Page 7: the 3 rules you keep forever. No calorie tracking, no banned foods.
THE ONE RULE
A boring workout you actually do beats a perfect program you abandon in week 2. If in doubt: fewer promises, more repetitions.
Five moves. One body.
Every good workout is built on these. Bodyweight works; dumbbells work better. Whatever you have counts.
| Movement | Example (bodyweight / dumbbell) | I start at | Sets × reps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squat | bodyweight / goblet squat | 2 × 8 | |
| Push | incl. push-up / dumbbell press | 2 × 8 | |
| Pull | door-row / dumbbell row | 2 × 8 | |
| Hinge | good morning / deadlift | 2 × 8 | |
| Carry / Core | farmer carry / plank | 30 s |
When all sets of any movement are easily at 12 reps: next session +1 small step in weight (or +2 reps bodyweight). Never more. Slow wins.
First reps slow, count to 3 down. Stop the set when form breaks — THAT is the real end of the set, not failure.
Show up. Tick it.
| Week | Mon | Wed | Fri | Day plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|

MISSED A DAY?
Skip it, take the next one. Never "make it up" with a double — that's how the whole thing falls apart by week 3. Consistency, not heroics.
Write it. Beat it lightly.
| Date | Movement | Set 1 | Set 2 | Set 3 | Note (form / feel) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Weight (kg) × reps, e.g. "10 kg × 12 · 10 · 8". Next session: repeat or +tiny step. That's the entire method.
Measure slow things.
Weight bounces 1–2 kg daily — ignore it. These numbers move slowly but honestly.
| Week | Weight | Waist | Push-ups (max) | Plank (seconds) | How I feel (1–10) |

Better sleep · stairs without gasping · jacket fits · stronger carry from the store · steadier mood. These arrive BEFORE the scale moves.
Aim: 7h+ · 6,000+ steps/day. The boring two change everything — log one word per day here: S ___ S ___ S ___ S ___ S ___ S ___ S ___
Protein. Water. 80%.
RULE 1 — PROTEIN ON EVERY MEAL
A palm-sized portion (egg, quark/yogurt, meat, fish, tofu, lentils). Protein keeps you full and repairs the training. My usual breakfast:
RULE 2 — WATER FIRST
A glass at every meal and every workout. Thirst is late. My water anchor:
RULE 3 — THE 80% RULE
80% of the time: normal, solid food. 20%: pizza, birthday, life. Zero guilt, zero banned food groups. A diet with an end date ends — you won't.
Week 4 done. What now?
□ Same plan, +weight on everything
□ Point 3 sessions / week → 4
□ Add one real hobby move (swim, bike, dance)
One focus. Not three.
One push-up, one glass of water, done — the day counts. Zero is the only number that hurts the habit chain.
That's the whole kit. 12 sessions — and "I should work out" becomes "I work out".
