Hi there!

I’m Ana Cheri, thank you for purchasing my E-book, I’m super

excited to be a part of your fitness journey!

This book series is filled with some of my favorite workouts

that I have actually done for the last 2 years.

In book #1 Get Fit with Ana Cheri, I will be teaching you proper form

and the importance of pushing yourself to see results, embrace

the BURN!!!My program involves strength

training to build lean muscle

mass and help burn fat. You will

be working out 4 days a week,

with one “Play Day”.

This program is designed to

give you quick results but also

get you ready for the next two

books that are full of more

advanced exercises. To see

these results it is vital to make

healthy food choices! I have

included some diet tips in

this book, follow them to

see the best results.

This is the part where I pep talk you and tell you anything is

possible! Well my pretty little friends, it is!

This program will have you sweating, burning, exhausted and

so sore! But trust me when I say, you will learn to love it and it

will be so worth it!

Every day I want you to wake up determined and focused on

your goals, you are important, you are cared about and you

need to make time for you.

When starting this program take photos, because what you

see in the mirror and how you feel in your everyday life is

more important than what is on the scale, especially since

muscle weighs more than fat, so if you don’t see the number

on the scale change in the beginning its ok. Your cloths will

tell you differently.

Take your progress photos in the same outfit, from the same

angles on the first day and on the last day, or every week, just

track your achievements! You will make yourself proud!

When posting your progress photos please tag me in them! I

want to be apart of your fitness journey.

05

Drink a lot of water, the goal is a gallon a day!

Try and consume a meal that is high in protein 30 minutes to

an hour after you work out. It’s a good idea to drink a protein

shake right after your training, this will help you be less sore

and see gains faster.

Make sure you are eating enough good calories and protein

to repair and build your muscles. If you workout too much

without feeding your body with enough protein, you won’t be

able to build muscle.

Try and cut out dairy, it can cause bloating.

Cut out soft drinks and limit the juices you drink, fruit is high

in sugar.

Only have fruit before noon.

Don’t eat any processed or fast food! Its just not good for

your body.

Eat healthy carbs like, sweet potato, quinoa and whole grains,

but try and cut down on the carbs at night or when you are

not as active.

Make sure you are having protein with every meal, eggs,

chicken, turkey breast, tofu or fish.

Eat LOTS of greens! My favorites are brussel sprouts, snap

peas, spinach and asparagus.

Last, when cooking, try and use olive oil or coconut oil.

While you are doing this program it is very important that

you give your body the rest that it needs. You will be pushing

yourself in these workout on top of your normal daily activities

so you will need to make sure you are recovering so you can

take on the next workout full steam.

Plan when you are going to bed and begin to wind down ahead

of time. Don’t just wait until you are tired.

Bright screens can stimulate your brain and make it hard to

quite your mind and fall asleep. Try to put down your phone

30 minutes to an hour before bed. Spend that time taking

care of yourself and preparing for the next day.

Rest days are important to give your body a chance to recover

and recharge and to give your muscles a chance to grow.

If you are sore from the previous days workout getting

moving can be one of the best ways to get out the soreness.

Walk, jog, run, etc. until you break a sweat then move through

some body weight exercises to get the muscles moving. Add

some stretching at the end so you wake up the the next day

ready to workout.

07

If leaning out and weight loss is your goal, then cardio is

important to maximizing your results. I recommend at least

20-30 minutes a day of moderate paced cardio. You

can walk, run, jog, swim, ride your bike, elliptical, if

your brave, stair master. Pick an exercise and pace

you can maintain for the whole 20-30 minutes,

non-stop.

If you have a lean frame and want

to build your curves, cardio is less

important then focusing on your

weight training and diet.

If you are sore from the previous

days workout the best way to make it

go away is to break a sweat.

I prefer to do my cardio first thing in

the morning on an empty stomach so

I don’t feel sick, also know as “fasted

cardio”. Find what works for you and

do it!

08

On your play days I want you to get out of the house and do

something active for at least 30 minutes. Walk your dog, ride

a bike, paddle board, tennis, soccer, go have fun! It’s good

for the mind and body to be outside and get a little sunshine.

Just remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated!

Before every workout be sure to warm up properly. Choose

an exercise and break a sweat, jumping rope, jumping jacks,

elliptical, treadmill... just get a little sweat going and then

you can move into your workout.

SQuat

Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Keep your feet flat on the floor at all times. Take a deep breath keep your abs tight and your spine straight, no hunching. Sit your butt back and squat down until your thighs break parallel with the floor. Squeeze your butt, drive your heels down, and push yourself back up to standing.

StandaRd PLank

PuLSE SQuatS

Start by getting into a push up position. Bend your elbows and rest your weight onto your forearms and not on your hands. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles. Engage your core by sucking your belly button into your spine, squeeze your glutes and make sure your hips are straight. No Donald Duck butt! Hold it and let it burn!

Start with your feet hip-width apart and single dumbbell gripped vertical. Perform a squat as you normally would, dropping down towards the ground with your butt pushed back, remember your squat technique. But rather than coming back to the starting position right away, hold that seated squat position at the bottom as you pulse a few inches up and down for the entire exercise, this will burn so good, but thats how you lift that derriere!

Good MoRninG (body weight)

Stand with your hands up to your head, abs tight and your legs unlocked but straight. Hinge at the hip and push your but backwards as far as you can while still keeping your back flat. When you can’t go any lower without your spine curving forward squeeze your hamstrings and glutes to pull yourself back upright. This one takes some time to master but the results are so worth it! Really focus on stretching those hamstrings on the way down and squeezing your butt to come back up.

JuMP SQuat

JuMPinG JaCkS

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Start by doing a regular squat, then engage your core and jump up explosively. When you land, lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep. Land as quietly as possible, which requires control.

Stand with your feet together and your hands down by your side. In one motion jump your feet out to the side and raise your arms above your head. As soon as you land reverse that motion by jumping back to the starting position.

Be sure not to let your front knee go past your toes, you should have a nice 90 degree angle on your front shin.

Avoid swinging of the weights or of your body.
