A WORD FROM CHLOE Hi, Im Chloe Madeley, and welcome to
The 4-Week Body Blitz. Let me begin by telling you a bit about myself I started training properly and learning about nutrition in January 2013. I had just met my then boyfriend, who, luckily for me, was a personal trainer.
I was a curvy size 1012 and body confident, but my boyfriend asked if Id like to be his aesthetic guinea pig to help him get some more female clients. I explained to him that I liked my body the way it was, and there was no changing it anyway before a holiday Id run daily and cut carbs for weeks on end, but my shape never changed. I was built the way I was built, period. He laughed and asked me what I was trying to achieve in these pre-holiday weeks Abs, I replied, before adding that abs were obviously genetic and I simply didnt have those genes. He bet me he could change my body in 4 weeks, and I took the bet On day 1, he put an Olympic bar on my back and taught me how to squat. That was it.
I was hooked.By week 2, I was crying like a baby because I wanted my old comfort foods back wine, bread, cheese and chocolate. By week 3, I was fully in the groove and I noticed my body finally starting to change. By week 4, I had booked my place on a Personal Training course. In June of that year, I started my blog FitnessFondue.com I wanted to tell women what weight lifting felt like and what it was doing to my body. I wanted to explain how important nutrition is when it comes to changing your body. Today, I have a big, beautiful fitness following, two best-selling training apps, a best-selling nutrition iBook, a supplement range and a gymwear line But The 4-Week Body Blitz is going to show you what I do best WHAT IS THE 4-WEEK BODY BLITZ ? Every health and fitness professional has a different approach to what they do.
There are the yogis who advocate a lifestyle change, daily meditation and cleansing superfood smoothies. There are the body builders who lift heavy weights, manipulate hormone levels and pound protein shakes to get as big as humanly possible. There are the cardio bunnies who challenge themselves with yearly marathons, triathlons and mountain hikes. There are the gym socialites who take Spin, Bodypump and Metafit classes like theyre going out of fashion. And then there are the fitness models and coaches who specialise in time-sensitive body transformations. This is what I do.
This is what I love. Body transformations would ideally take place over a 1220-week time scale, and come off the back of months of effort to build as much muscle as humanly possible. And its not just fitness models who have to get in shape quickly for shoots and competitions. This short-term panic is actually very common amongst our clients and audience. Whether its the January fitness surge, the summer body quest or the Christmas party season, transformation time scales can often be staggeringly short. The 4-Week Body Blitz is an instructive guide designed to show you how to get into shape in the shortest time frame possible.

First, Ill explain how Im going to help you alter what you eat and why; then comes my day-by-day stretching and exercise plan that shows you exactly what you need to do each day. Dont worry, youre not going to have to do anything extreme you will eat, you will train, and you will have rest days. However, you must understand that with only 4 short weeks, there is absolutely no room for error. We have 4 weeks to get you the best results possible. And this means giving 110% to both your diet and training every single day. There is no time to mess around and no time to fall off the wagon. I firmly believe that if you understand the process, you are much more likely to become invested in it and even excited by it.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEW DIET CLEAN EATING Firstly, single ingredient foods (for example, eggs, oats, fruit, nuts, vegetables, chicken and fish) are a lot less calorie dense and more nutrient rich than processed foods, so you can actually eat a lot more than you might think in order to get fit and healthy. For instance: 1 large chicken breast has the calories of 2 small pork sausages, with none of the carbohydrates and roughly 1/14th of the fat.
1 portion of berries has less than the calories of 1 packet of sweets and none of the refined sugar. Secondly, your body is able to use all the nutrients from unadulterated single ingredient foods, instead of storing wasted calories away as fat. Your body has no use for the excess sugars found in sweets and refined carbohydrates, or for the trans-fats found in most junk foods, so it has no choice other than to store them away, eventually forming adipose tissue, otherwise known as fat. Lastly, you will be healthy from the inside out. Clean foods are rich in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), which, surprisingly, tend to be missing from a bowl of French fries or a doughnut.
