6 Week Body Makeover Body Sculpting Blue Print

Losing weight on the Michael Thurman 6 Week Body Makeover can be easy following the body blue print cards.  Here is an example of a step by step guide of how to blue print your problem areas using the body blueprint cards that are provided in each Michael Thurmond 6 Week Body Makeover .

Once you figure out your body type, it is time to blue print each of your individual problem areas to get a better understanding of how to reduce fat on these areas.  This part of the program allow yous to pick the specific parts of your body that you’d like to change so you can make a plan to gain lean muscle on these areas, which will help you burn more fat.

First you will start out with body sculpting cards which will let you determine what type of body you have.  Also, the cards will determine where your problem areas are.  You will then create a custom body sculpting routine which will target every problem area.  Once you know which areas you need to work on, you will do a customized workout routine which will only require about 30 minutes of your time a WEEK.  This is all it will take to reshape your body and get the beautiful body that you’ve always wanted.

1st Step: Layout the Body BluePrint Cards

First you will need to locate the body blueprint cards that are included in your body makeover kit.  These cards are blue and have body parts drawn on them.  The cards come divided up by gender.  The cards have a dark and light side…you will have to make sure that each dark side is facing up.

Next, you will organize each of the sections into complete bodies, make sure you arrange all cards by numbers (i.e. upper body part #1, middle body part #1, lower body part #1).

Step 2: Pick the Body Which Most Resembles You

Examine the cards and determine which body type you most resemble. All three of the cards might not match exactly but try and get as close as possible to your overall body type.  Once you find the cards that mostly resemble your body, slide the other cards away and make two piles.

Step 3: Look Through Remaining Cards and Customize Your Body Blue Print

Now that you have a close match to your body type, look through the remaining cards to fully customize your body type.  Pick up all the remaining cards and match them to each body section and determine whether there is a better fit for your body type.  Make sure to read all of the problem callouts on each card to see if the other cards match your problem areas.  If it does, replace your original selection with the new card. (Note the callouts will say phrases such as, “flabby arms with loose skin hanging under arms”).

Each section has a number on the right hand side of the card.  Get the Body Makeover Book and grab the exercises that match the numbers on each card. All of these exercises are customized based on your problem areas.  This can target all of your problem areas and not worry about doing additional exercise that will waste your time and increase muscle in areas where you don’t want more muscle and bulk.

Step 4: Assemble Your Body Makeover Book

Unwrap your body makeover book contents, make sure not to shuffle the order of the pages.  Insert the title cards and table of contents. Assemble your custom eating plan and add your dining out guide, the accelerated fat burning, and accelerated body sculpting sections.

Creat your custom body sculpting plan (as stated above).  Create your 18-minute workout by matching the targeted sculpting movement numbers listed beside each exercise in your custom body sculpting plan with the matching flip chart pages in the 18 minute workout section.

Assemble the last three sections, which are the tracking your success, making it foolproof and living lean books.  Lastly, add the infinite menu planner and check the order of each section.

Voila! There you have it!  By this point, you should know what type of body you have, which areas you have problems with, the exercises to reduce fat on those problem areas and know what types of foods you should eat to reduce fat.  Next, I will describe specifically what types of exercises you should perform on the 6 week body makeover.

6 Week Body Makeover Meal Plan

Hi all, I just started the 6 Week Body Makeover and have completed the first step of the program, which is to blue print my body and determine what type of body type I have.  I am a body type C, which is defined as a “Meso-Endo”.  To review, C bodies are the type of bodies that have more lean muscle mass than the other bodies types.  Because of the extra lean mass, they are able to burn calories faster and have higher metabolisms.  However, C bodies have problem areas and need to take care of these areas so that they can burn additional calories and stay slim.  Sometimes C people have too much muscle in one area and not enough in another section of their body.  For me,  I have too much muscle in my arms and legs, but my mid-section is quite flabby. As a C, I’m allowed to eat more simple and complex carbohydrates as my body can burn these calories faster than other body types.  I’m supposed to stay away from red meats and eat mainly chicken and fish. The reason I’m supposed to stay away from red meat is because red meat will make me bulk up and my goal is to have lean muscle mass…not to gain additional weight.

I just started following the meal plan and it’s quite easy to follow. There are custom eating plan menu cards for each body type.  These cards come with body makeover package.  I’m going to try the Fast Track Menu Card meal plans and use this until I get bored of the foods.  Also, once you get bored of the foods on the Fast Track Menu, you can use the Michael Thurmond Infinite Menu Planner.  The Michael Thurmond 6 Week Body Makeover Meal Plan is a booklet with that has multiple tabs based on different types of food groups.  For example, as a “C”, for breakfast I’m supposed to have 4 o. protein from category A, 1 cup of carbs from category A, and 1/2 cup of fruit from category A.

This week I’m going to try and eat the “Easy” section of the Fast Track Menu.  The menu for this week consists of the following:

Easy Breakfast – 4 Egg Whites, 1 Cup of Oatmeal & 1/2 cup Apple

Easy Snack – 4 oz. Chicken Breast or Turkey Breast & 1/2 cup potato

Easy Lunch – 4 oz. Chicken Breast, 1 cup Rice & 1-2 cups of mixed veggies

Easy Snack – 3 oz. Chicken Breast & 1/2 cup roasted mixed yams & red potato

Easy Dinner – 4 oz. chicken breast, 1 cup potato & 1-2 cups of veggies

PM snack is optional – no snack for me!

Whoa…this seems like a ton of food.  You might think that you’re overeating, but if you actually look at the portions, all meals seem more like snacks to me than a full meal.  However, this is why the diet works.  The diet is tricking your metabolism into thinking that your body has enough food to eat and that it is okay to trigger your metabolism into high gear.  Your mind thinks that you’re not going into “starvation mode” and will react accordingly.  Plus all the food that you’re eating is healthy so the calories that you do take in will be burned quickly and not stored as fat.

I will give this menu plan a try and will update you on my progress.  Also I will post about body sculpting and how much actual exercise you need to do to lose weight on the 6 week body makeover.
