New Online Workout | Bathing Suit Boot Camp!

Posted on

It’s time to get fit for summer with my new online workout – Bathing Suit Boot Camp!

Believe it or not, summer is just around the corner! I know that with the unexpected snowstorm earlier this week some of you may not be in the spring mindset quite yet but trust me, warm weather is coming! It’s time to prepare for sundresses, shorts and of course those dreaded swimsuits.

This summer I don’t want you to hide under bulky t-shirts, I want you to embrace the sun and soak up all that Vitamin D. I know it can be difficult to lose the layers and feel confident in a bathing suit, so to help make it a little easier I created a 31-day online workout schedule for the month of May.

Found exclusively on BobHarper.com, this program features 5 workouts a week!

I’ve enlisted my good friend, Maddie to help along the way because if anyone knows how to rock a bathing suit, it’s this girl!

Here’s a breakdown of the first week:

• Day 1 – BRAND NEW workout featuring a format that has never been done before with Team Bob. The “2 Minute – 4 Minute – 6 Minute” workout includes cardio-intensive bodyweight exercises to boost your metabolism and kick start your weight loss.
• Day 2 – Time interval style workout, I’ll keep the clock while you push yourself to get through as many reps as possible.
• Day 3 – Rest Day: recovery days are just as important as work days!
• Day 4 – Tabata style workout, one of my favorite and most-effective workouts. The 20 seconds work/ 10 seconds rest format really gets your heart rate up.
• Day 5 – An ascending rep scheme pushes you to do more and more each round. It’s includes total-body cardio exercises with an extra focus on challenging your core for a flat stomach.
• Day 6 – A total body fat-burning workout that begins and ends with a quick run for an added cardio boost.
• Day 7 – Finish the week by stretching and drinking lots of water, your body gets a much deserved rest day to prepare for following week!

To get the most of this program, I suggest you run 1-mile before each workout. If you’re not able to run, then walk… with urgency! You can even start with short distances and add a little more each day, to work your way up to a mile. Set goals and really challenge yourself.

Results don’t happen overnight. If you work hard and eat right, you will be rewarded! I’ll leave you with a quote I read recently that really hit home, “Intentions are completely useless, it’s the actions we take to change that matter!”

Join me and Team Bob now to get started on your way to a better body!


A sneak peek at your weight loss battle plan

Posted on

Jumpstart to Skinny will be arriving in bookstores in one week! Remember, it’s different from The Skinny Rules because instead of a permanent eating and lifestyle change program, it’s a short-term soup-to-nuts plan: it’s a three week challenge to get you in tip-top shape for all your spring and summer events. You can commit to three measly weeks, can’t you? I know you can!

The nutritional architecture of Jumpstart to Skinny is what I call the “40/40/20 Rule.” The 40/40/20 Rule is my way of making sure you get the right amount of the three essential macronutrients in your diet: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Eat in these proportions for three weeks and the pounds will melt away – without you being hungry!

Easy math, right? Made easier because in the book I’ve done the menu planning and percentage calculations for you. For instance, on day 1, you get delicious Quinoa Rancheros for breakfast, an amazing Roasted Mixed Veggie and Chicken Salad for lunch, and something I like to call Mexican Fiesta Fish for dinner. Eat that way, and you’re getting approximately 40% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 20% fat over the course of the day. Or, you could also choose “Pizza Toast” for breakfast, Watermelon, Cucumber, and Salmon Salad for lunch, and Turkey meatball soup for dinner! Yum. Again, 40/40/20.

By the way, these proportions are the same ones that I use when I’m getting ready for a magazine cover shoot. They are the ones my celebrity clients use when they are trying to get red-carpet ready. And they are the proportions that you’re going to use to meet your own goals, right people?! You’ll have an amazing, for-the-ages wedding album, a jealousy-inducing reunion photo, a bathing beauty shot that your spouse just can’t stop looking at….and the knowledge that you are firmly on the road to healthy and happy eating for life.

I can’t wait to get out there and promote this new book – I hope you have great success with the program. I’m confident that you will!

Are you ready to JUMPSTART TO SKINNY with my new book?

Posted on

Spring is in the air and you may be putting away your heavy winter clothing and turning your attention to…. Shorts? Short dresses? Gulp….Bathing suits?

Or maybe you’re starting to get mail about your high school reunion in June or save-the-date cards for summer weddings. Or gulp….are you going to be in a wedding?

Time to get serious about shedding that winter warmth (aka weight) and slimming down for the sunny seasons, people!

Whatever your motivation, it’s at times in life like this that you really don’t have the patience for a lecture or the time to read a tome that will help you understand the psychology of why you overeat or that will educate you on the complex workings of the human digestive system! Nope. It’s a whole lot more simple than that: It’s one of those times when you just want to look awesome. No need for an apology at this point. Nothing to be ashamed of. You. Just. Want. To. Look. Awesome.

And so you need a jumpstart. A get-started-right-now, no-more-excuses, short-term plan. You need a kick in the pants and I’ve been told I’m quite good at that!

My new book, Jumpstart to Skinny is the kick in the pants you need. It’s a 3-week program – complete with 13 new, short-term Jumpstart Rules, instructions and demonstrations of the exercises you’ll be doing just 15 minutes a day (no more back cleavage, “bat” wings and muffin tops – you’ll lose weight and reveal the toned muscles hiding underneath), menu plans to follow, and recipes that make meal-planning a breeze. It gives you the same exclusive, star-turn regimen that I offer my celebrity friends and clients when they need to get ready for the red carpet, a party, a role, a vacation. Follow it to the letter for those three measly weeks and you will not believe the results. I’ve had clients who lose up to 20 pounds!

Are you in?! You can preorder it now. The book will be available in a month….which means that shortly thereafter you’ll be posing for reunion pictures with pride, waving from the limo with confidence, and strutting the beach without a care in the world!

Results are an amazing source of inspiration and www.BobHarper.com is about delivering them. Earlier this week I posted an AMRAP workout from the site and asked you to record your reps and rounds. When it was first posted, I also asked club members to do the same.

About a month later we did the same workout on www.BobHarper.com and not only was there progress for members, but EVERYONE in the Team Bob video beat their previous records!

And I’ve saved the best for last! I was so happy to have Olivia Ward winner of Biggest Loser Season 11 stop by for this workout. Doesn’t she look incredible?!?!!

xox…Bob
