3-Month Fitness & Nutrition Course
Week 12
Week 12 is almost the end of this course, so if you haven't done so already, now is the time to start planning how you are going to continue to eat healthy and exercise after this program finishes.
Setting goals each week has been an important part of the programme and one we want to strongly suggest you continue with after the end of the programme.
What goals did you set yourself at the very start of this program and again at week 7? Have you achieved them? If not, why do you think that was?
Look back at your week 1 health check, fitness test and 'before' photo and just spend a few moment remembering everything you have been through. If you have been following this course completely, you will have:
-
Read 36 E-books on health and fitness
-
Watched 23 health related videos
-
Tried 15 different online workouts
-
Maintained a calorie deficit of around 500 per day for 84 days
-
Exercised for an average of 200 minutes a week for 12 weeks
-
Completed 7 different fitness challenges
-
Posted 7 different meals selfies (with calories listed)
Over that time, you will have started to form a few new healthy habits, whether that is just simply being aware of what you are eating and why, or increasing your activity levels. These are things which will stay for you forever.
Week 12
As this is our last full week, we are going to reduce your activity levels back to 150 minutes a week and increase your calories slightly. This is to get you back on track to a sustainable future, but as always - the choice is yours. If you decide to continue with your current plan as you are for a few more weeks, that's absolutely fine.
Here we go for the final week...
Week 12 Tasks
BEFORE & AFTER PHOTO
STEP
1
Remember back all those weeks ago when you first started this course and thought "I'm not taking a photo of myself - are you mad?" 🤣
Well, it's time to take another! Try to use the same room as before, same clothes and take the same number of photographs from the same angles if you can.
STEP 2
Similarly to your photos, we also want you to complete your health checks again so we can see the differences in your weight, waist, hips, BMI and resting pulse rate.
Don't forget that when you measure and weigh yourself to wear the same clothes that you did the first time, so it is comparable.
COURSE REVIEW
STEP 3
At the very end of this course, we would love it if you could spend 3-4 minutes filling out a quick course review.
If there was something you didn't like or didn't find useful on the course, please let us know. Equally, if there was something you think we could have included, we would love to know that too!
FITNESS TEST

We know you have been looking forward to this one, so now is the time to see if you can beat your last set of results.
