Use the Calorie Calculator in the menu on the left
The aim of this workout is to get you toned (don’t worry you won’t get bulky!) – so my recommendation would be, to be at your maintenance level or in a very small calorie surplus.
Using the calorie calculator will calculate your daily calorie needs, as well as your macro nutrients. As a guideline for your daily activity level you can use the following:
Sedentary: you do under 40 mins of walking a day
Moderately Active: you walk 40-60 mins a day
Active: you walk 60-100 mins a day
Very Active: you walk 100+ mins a day
If you are overweight and have a BMI over 25, use the ‘Lean Body Mass Formula’, otherwise use the ‘Total Body Mass Formula’.
Once you calculated your macros and calories make a note of it somewhere or save the page as a PDF. As none of the data displayed will be saved.
Always do a warm-up
Before each workout you should ensure that you do a warm-up. You can find a short warm-up tutorial video below. This helps to prevent injury of the joints, ligaments and tendons.
