Fit & Fabulous Workout Schedule for the New Year's Eve Party
Workout Schedules | December 24, 2014
The New Year’s Eve is without a doubt the most festive time of the year when people usually throw the best and most exciting parties. Everyone wants to look amazing for the New Year’s party, especially us girls who like to dress up 🙂 So if you have already picked an outfit and want to put an extra effort into looking and feeling fit for this special event, let me remind you, that you have exactly 6 days from the 26th to the 31st before you go to your New Year’s Eve Celebration Party to say “goodbye” to 2014 and “hello” to the new year. If you need an extra help to burn some calories after the Holidays and get into better shape fast, then follow this special 6 day workout schedule:
Day #1
Morning – Cardio Shred #7 – Lifted Butt Series
Afternoon – JRC #3
I picked the very first workout to target your glutes, which is the part of our body that can never get enough exercise. The stronger your butt is, the better your posture and the better your posture, the more fabulous your dress is going to look on you at the New Year’s Eve party! The cardio workout will help you burn extra calories and get overall leaner look.
Day #2
Morning – Body Crush #3
Afternoon – Guns & Pistols #3
The first workout of the day is going increase you metabolism, and improve your flexibility and mobility with challenging round kicks, and spider man push up combos. It’s a short but very intense workout to get your body in a fat burning mode right from the start of the day. The second workout is going to continue to improve on your mobility and flexibility, and increase some oxygen intake during the bouts of high intensity cardio with the jump rope. Besides that, you’ll be strengthening and shaping up your legs with one of the most effective bodyweight exercises – the pistol squats.
Day #3
Morning – Cardio Shred #8 X
Afternoon – Tabata – Lifted Butt Series
If you want to see results fast, you have to push yourself harder. Day 3 is going to start with a really intense full body training, and end with a really intense butt lifting workout. This Tabata won’t get you as much out of breath as the first workout, but you’ll feel your buns tomorrow and be really proud of them by day #6!
Day #4
Morning – Body Crush #7
Afternoon – Kettlebell workout Advanced #1
Targeting the biggest muscles on your body such as your thighs and glutes makes sense, when you need to lose fat and get leaner fast, however, we can’t forget about our chest and arms, because they need an attention as well. The first workout will take care of that, and your abs will get some extra love too as a bonus. The Kettlebell Workout is an excellent routine that keeps your body in the fat burning mode while targeting all of the major muscle groups including the entire posterior chain of muscles that will help with your posture, and make you look really fit. In other words, if your back is strong, your chest looks proud.
Day #5
Morning – Body Crush #5
Afternoon – JRC #1
I picked a bodyweight workout that will really target your butt and legs. Your legs may look a little swollen and bigger today, because of that, but it’s going to go away and you may see actually visible difference tomorrow. Your legs and butt are going to feel tighter. Also the extreme Jump Rope workout will help you to burn tons of extra calories and lean out even more before the big day.
Day #6
Morning – Body Crush #10 X and Power Yoga #9
The last day, the day of the celebration, you’ll push yourself with an extreme bodyweight workout first and then you’ll give your body a nice stretch with Power Yoga #9. The second workout will put you in a great mood and make you feel more free, flexible, and ready to party!
_______________________________________________
Some of you will have to wake up really early to do your workout before you go to work, but I can assure you that it’s a better option than doing these workouts back to back in the afternoon or in the evening. Whenever you do my workouts, do not underestimate them just because they’re short. These workouts are intense and that’s why they’re short. The shorter your workout is the more you can push yourself before you deplete your energy. Once your energy is depleted, then there’s no reason to continue the workout. The best results come from short but super intense workouts. You can’t do long workouts at your max effort, because you have to pace yourself in order to last longer. That approach to training will only exhaust you and won’t yield faster results. That’s why you want to give your body at least a few hours of break between the workouts so that you can attack each one of them with all the energy you have saved.
Meal plan for Day #1 – Day #5
Meal #1 – Start the day with a pre-workout coffee (hot cup of coffee mixed with 1 tbsp grass fed butter and 1 tbsp coconut or MCT oil)
Workout #1 – After this workout you have 2 hours window to eat your carbs such as whole wheat bread, oats, rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, legumes… Your portion size of these carbs shouldn’t be more than the size of your 1 cupped hand.
Meal #2 – Any WE (workout earned meal) for example: quinoa salad with chicken, Chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bread, sweet potato fries with steak, Oatmeal, Banana protein shake, Chickpea salad, whole grain french toast, fruit bowl with protein yogurt. Make sure to include a good portion of protein either from meat, egg whites, or protein supplement.
Meal #3 – Any FM (free meal) I have a lot of examples of those in the Nutrition category so please scroll through, or just remember that you can eat anything as long as you avoid starchy carbs.
Meal #4 – Maybe a little snack at least an hour before the workout, also FM. This meal is optional, only in case that your goal is to either gain more weight in form of muscles, or if you’re feeling hungry. From my personal experience, I don’t need to to eat 5 meals a day. I might have a small snack such as an apple or an orange, both of which you can enjoy at anytime, because they are low in GI, and so are berries.
Workout #2 – You should do this workout maximum 2 hours before your dinner and your dinner should be 2 hours before you go to bed, so that you don’t go to sleep with full belly.
Meal #5 – Any type of WE meal, but keep in mind that you don’t want to stuff yourself too much before you go to sleep. Keep your portion smaller and make sure to include enough protein either in the form of meat, egg whites, or a supplement.
Meal Plan for Day #6
Start the day exactly the same way as the previous days
Meal #1 – Start the day with a pre-workout coffee (hot cup of coffee mixed with 1 tbsp grass fed butter and 1 tbsp coconut or MCT oil)
Workout #1 – After this workout you have 2 hours window to eat your carbs such as whole wheat bread, oats, rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, legumes… Your portion size of these carbs shouldn’t be more than the size of your 1 cupped hand.
Stick with small FM snacks for the rest of the day, because you’ll be most likely breaking all the rules later at the dinner. Enjoy your party to the fullest and don’t forget to get back on track on January 1st (or 2nd the latest).
P.S. I hope I don’t need to remind you that any sweets, cookies, and chocolates leftovers from the Holidays are off the table. You can have a small piece right after your workout, but that’s it. Drink coffee, tea, water, and avoid alcohol. You’ll have plenty at the party 🙂

I would love to understand the benefits of the pre-workout coffee with the grass-fed butter and coconut/MCT oil! I’m not a coffee drinker but can appreciate the benefits of the caffeine boost, but why the butter/oil?

Hey Zuzka! I have tried coffee with grass-fed butter and coconut oil today first time! Thank you! I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to make it tomorrow again! Do you think Greek yougurt will work as meal #1? Finished Day 1 today and feel amazing! Cheers! 🙂

I personally use Kerry Gold, Michelle. It’s Irish. It has a slightly different texture from regular butter when solid but, boy, is it delicious!

Hey Leigh Cooper, Thank you for the Kerry Gold butter. I never liked butter in My life. And i tried it and it has such a natural and great taste. It is awesome

Glad you tried it!

Is something like this coming for the new year? I would love to start January strong!

I’m assuming you should only do the Bullet Proof Coffee in the morning?

Also, can I have butter on WE French toast or mayo/mustard on WE chicken sandwich? Any ideas for some quick “pick-ups” at the store for FM? Last question: would it be ok to have a lemon vinegarette salad dressing on FM salad of meat, cheese and lettuce?
Thanks:-)

I’m a day behind getting started. I did the first day today and boy two workouts in one day……. Amazing!!! This is so worth doing the week before an event or party…. Thank you Zuzka for putting this together and telling us why you put these sequences together…. very motivating.

Day 2 in the bag! I’m thrilled with myself, seriously. Had to leave early for work and got home late so I had two options: do one workout and skip the other, or dig down deep and do them back to back. I did them back to back. Woo hoo!
Ready for tomorrow!

Is it okay to both in a row ? Will we still get the same results ?

Hi zuzka,
I am wondering if there is any way of you doing a workout that focuses mainly on arms and abs. I had right knee surgery and am limited on what I can do right know, however I can focus on upper body. If you could do that, it would greatly appreciated.
