ZeroMan Workout Series
The ZeroMan
workout series is designed for gentlemen relatively new to working out who want
to lose weight and have general fitness improvement. This program can work for anyone, so feel
free to adjust weight and resistance to fit your needs. For maximum fat loss I recommend five to six
small meals a day, including one fatty (good fats) snack an hour before workout
(Geoff’s Man Bar would be perfect!) and a protein shake no more than 30 minutes
after working out. The rest of the small
meals should have a ratio as close as possible to 9g carbs, 7g protein, 2g
fat. Good luck!
Day 45: Friday November 18th 2011
Warm Up: 20 minutes
Recumbent
Resistance Intervals
-
5
minutes at ‘6’ to ‘8’ resistance 75 RPM to 80 RPM
-
8
times: 30 seconds at ‘11’ to ‘13’ resistance 90+ RPM, followed by 1 minute at
‘6’ to ‘8’ resistance 75 RPM to 80 RPM
-
3
minutes at a leisurely pace
Light Stretch:
less than 5 minutes
No deep stretching. Just a few reaching exercises, arm swings and
circles, trunk rotations, etc. The idea
is to move and get warm, especially muscle groups you missed in your warm-up.
Resistance: 15 – 20 minutes
Legs:
-
Single leg Step ups on low step (8” – 12”): 10 step ups
on each leg with striding arms, balance for 10 seconds on the 10th
step.
-
Single leg Step ups on low step (8” – 12”): 10 step ups
on each leg with striding arms, balance for 10 seconds on the 10th
step.
-
Pull-downs /
Back:
Functional:
Stretch: 5 - 10 minutes
Comprehensive
light stretching, then focus on shoulders, arms, chest and back. Be sure to
include: infraspinatus stretch, teres minor stretch, bent over lat stretch, wall lat stretch, overhead triceps stretch, seated biceps stretch, doorway or floor deltoid stretch, side deltoid stretch, straight arm chest stretch, and doorway or floor modified chest
stretch.
Cool Down: 20 minutes
Run / Walk on
a treadmill. (7 run, 3 walk, 5 run, 5 walk would be great)
Start adding
a fish oil supplement to your first, middle, and last meals of the day for
faster healing and healthier joints. To
really kick your fat loss up a notch and minimize joint inflammation, avoid
bread (at least on workout days).
CINNAMON!! Add a dash of cinnamon to your morning cup of
coffee, and another cup at lunch wouldn’t hurt.
Drink at
least 8 oz. of water 30 minutes before each meal or snack, and drink fluids
with your meal either just before or just after (or both), but not during. Green tea is a great option for delicious
hydration, appetite suppression, antioxidants, and a nice energy boost!
Try to base
your meal ratios on a total daily protein intake of 95g to 115g (while striving
to maintain the 9:7:2 carb:protein:fat ratio at every meal except the pre and
post workout snacks.)

Day 46: Saturday November 19th 2011
Walk 2 miles. Make
a list of 3 things you’re thankful for; become the person someone else is
thankful for. Finish your morning shower with 3 – 5 minutes
as cold as possible with the water hitting your neck and upper-back for most of
the time and upper chest and neck for about 30% of the time. Repeat this cold treatment before bed. I’ll get into the reasons later on. Try to do this EVERY DAY. It will accelerate fat loss and help promote
fast healing and better sleep. If you’re
feeling spunky, you can try an ice bath (5 minutes just legs, 5 minutes
reclined, 5 minutes just torso with legs out).
BRRRR.
