Congratulations for Making a Powerful Decision to Invest in Fitness Coaching with me.

And thank you for your business - I know that there are many other places that you could be investing your time, energy, and resources to better yourself & your life.

I assure you - my 35+ years experience in getting both myself and my clients into top shape, is going to serve you very well.

Now that you are on board and have had your Program Design Call with me, there are several action steps that you want to start taking immediately, so that not only will you get off to a Fast Start, but also so that you lay the foundation for success moving forward while coaching with me

Remember, your long term success will be based on the process of speeding up your metabolism, by way of building strong, lean muscle tissue in every area of your body.

This does not mean that you are going to be big, bulky, or look like a body builder - unless of course that is your goal.

Over time, focusing on replacing body fat with muscle, will not only turn your body into a fat burning machine, but will be sustainable for years, and decades to come so that instead of having to do cardio every day, or every week - your body will burn calories in the form of fat, on its own.

Everything else comes in the wake of these goals, while you get stronger, leaner, and more efficient with every aspect of your body.

Ultimately, we are going to train your body to utilize fat for energy, whether you are working out, watching a movie, taking a Sunday drive, or sleeping in.

This can only happen after you train your muscles, both in and out of the gym, your home gym, or wherever you are working out.

By following the Strength Training Program that I lay out for you each day, you will experience every facet of great Fitness:

* Lean Body Mass to Body Fat Ratio

Your First Week's Focus Include the Following Action Steps:

1. Immediately Begin Meal Tracking

Start today.

Begin keeping track of everything you consume.

Don't change anything from your normal routine.

Food choices, meals, snacks, caloried drinks, desserts, alcohol - anything and everything you eat or drink so that we can see how many calories you are normally eating.

Please post everything on your shared Program Design Google Document so that I can look for your trends and patterns and can then design a Daily Caloric Goal and Macro Targets for you after a week of you keeping track.

You'll also want to pick up a Food Scale if you don't already have one, so that next week, you can begin learning how to measure and weigh ingredients and food choices, which is critical to learning how to eat properly for your goals.

The Food Scale Aaron recommends can be found on Amazon at this link.

This is very important for me to help you create a sustainable meal plan consisting of foods that you love, and one that is supportive you and your goals.

A simple course correction doesn't just make a difference - but could be the difference that makes your body stronger, gets it building more muscle, boosts your metabolism, and puts your body into a fat burning state - based on which Phase of Metabolic Ratcheting you are currently in.

The more often you post your meals, the simpler it will be for me to spot trends, habits, and patterns that we can adjust immediately, so that we keep you on track and consistently pointing in the right direction.

2. Professional Fitness Assessment

Knowing where you are starting, is critical to getting where you want to go.

Having a visual reference point is important, but what’s more important, is knowing your true Weight, Lean Body (Muscle) Mass, how much actual Body Fat (your Fat Mass) you have, and your Hydration Levels.

This way, we can be as accurate as possible when meeting your Daily Caloric and Macro Targets, especially when first getting started.

As your fitness improves, your requirements will change, but to start out it’s important that we have this information.

You can either consult a Fitness Pro in your local area - at a gym, a weight loss center, or any facility where you can be measured, tested, and assessed for your current state of fitness...

Or even better (and less expensive)...

Purchase a personal, in home Body Fat Scale so that you can do your own Weigh-Ins before your Weekly Check-Ins with Aaron starting in your second week.

The one I recommend is available on Amazon, at this link.

3. Before Pics and Goal Photos

Having some front, back, and side shots of your starting physique or figure, might be motivation enough for you to do the work, but it’s not just what we do that makes us successful; it’s what we do, daily. So, seeing your before pics every day might remind you of why you got started, and will help you on those days when you don’t want to do the work. You will see over the course of time with me, that your body can look completely different, in just 24, 48, and 72 hours, based on your workouts, rest, and your daily meal plan. So, either take a few timed selfies, or have someone do it for you. Front, Back, Sides, and a two armed Flex Shot!

Also, find a few goal photos on the internet of the physique or figure that you’d like to see staring back at you over the course of the next several months & years, and share those with me as well. You can post them in your Program Design Document.

Remember, just like everybody is different - so is every body.

While we never want to compare ourselves to anyone else, we do want to have a goal to shoot for, so these pics will be very helpful for us to a have a visual, and to begin with the end in mind.

Final Thoughts...

Every single day is a new opportunity to build muscle, burn fat, and get into the best shape of your life.

When you follow the Program that I lay out for you, combined with the right food choices, and proper rest - every day is another day that your results can quantify. .

This way, instead of just adding - we are multiplying.

In other words, 2 + 2 no longer has to equal 4; it can equal 15.

The most powerful force in the World, is momentum, and because your body is a miracle, it becomes magical when you give it what it wants and needs.

Your workouts should never be a punishment for what you ate - but a celebration for what your body can do.

And just the same - you should never feel like you are depriving yourself of foods you love.

With my Metabolic Ratcheting Coaching System - you can eat whatever you want - just not however much you want.

And since our body does what our mind tells it to, you can create whatever you want when you set your mind to it.

With your passion and desire and willingness to do the work, coupled with my experience, support, and direction - there’s no way for you to lose when we already have the winning formula!

Call on me any time you have questions, concerns, or just want to know that I am in your corner, helping you build the body of your dreams.

Stay focused, and let's do this thing!
