Hi WarriorZ,

Our first month of the Zcut Power Cardio Program is officially over and now we can move on to Month #2. This past month was challenging enough and it helped us to get into a habit of exercising on a daily basis which is the first step. I have to say that I feel amazing and even tho I didn’t have any weight loss goal, I did lose 1/2 inch in my thighs, arm, and waist without cutting down on my food intake. That said if I wanted to lose more weight I would very slowly and gradually reduce my caloric intake.

It is very easy to control your caloric intake if you stick to the same kinds of meals each day and you know your portion sizes. If you are using the same plates and bowls, you don’t really have to count calories. Also I suggest that you use your hands as a measurement tool, because it’s very accurate and you can do it no matter where you eat. Remember that portion of lean protein is a palm of your hand, veggies is about two hands cupped together, fruit would be about 1 cupped hand, and other carbs that you should earn with your workout or eat them for breakfast would be also 1 cupped hand. This strategy works great for women, and men should just double the portions. It’s easy, simple and it really works if you eat 3-5 meals a day.

Here is the picture of my Calendar for the 1st month. I enjoyed it very much to have a structure and a plan that I can follow.



I have downloaded the Calendar for Month #2 HERE, and you should do the same thing, because today was already the first day of the second month. However if you just got your DVDs, it doesn’t matter when you start. Start tomorrow with the first month, or you can just jump in and start from today directly with month #2. Just keep in mind that this month will be more challenging, because we will be exercising on a daily basis and once a week we will do 2 workouts a day. I am ready, are you?



By the way, the measurements that you take to write down into your calendar are for your arm, leg, and waist and it’s super easy to take them. Take a tape measure and wrap it right around the middle of your thigh. To take the measurements of your arm you have to wrap the tape measure right around your biceps in the middle again. Your waist is about 2 inches above your belly button.

Have fun and I will be here every day with a new post and a little update on the program.
Best,
Z.
