2 Frequently Asked Questions | ASN Lifestyle Refresh Program

What makes The Lifestyle Refresh Program unique to other challenges out there? First of all, it’s not a challenge, it’s a program. The word ‘challenge’ itself is defined by competitiveness and participating in an event for the purpose of being superior in ability or strength. However, our Lifestyle Refresh Program isn’t about being better than your fellow participants, it’s about creating sustainable habits that set you up for a healthier and more fulfilling life, physically and mentally. It’s about taking the time to listen to your body to find the health and fitness approach that best works for you. And most importantly, it’s about creating changes that last a lifetime, not a short time. Better still, we’ve added more value than ever before and are offering the expertise of an incredible team of professionals, which includes an Accredited Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist, Psychologist, and Wellness Coach.

What’s included in the supplement pack? We’ve designed the ultimate health and wellness supplement pack that is suitable for all fitness levels, and ideal for those with health conditions and dietary requirements.

Our hand-selected supplement stack is stimulant-free, vegan-friendly, and designed to improve your overall health and wellness for the long run: Evolve Carnitine Rx - Mobilises and breaks down fat stores to be used as a source of energy. Body Science Clean Greens - Loaded with the essential micro-nutrients your body requires to maintain optimal immune health and overall well-being. And guess what?

4 Frequently Asked Questions | ASN Lifestyle Refresh Program

How soon will I see results? Understanding your results will largely depend on what your goals are. As goals vary from person to person, there’s no one set answer to this question. However, as our Lifestyle Refresh Program is designed to change habits, the general understanding of re-writing habits is that it will take roughly 21 days to overhaul your old ways and replace them with new ways of thinking and acting. As such, within a few weeks time, you should start noticing changes to your lifestyle. Be consistent with the program, but try to remember that it’s not all about seeing results, it’s about feeling results too. We have designed the Lifestyle Refresh Program to include fitness tests, so you can feel the gradual changes and improvements in your fitness level as you progress.

I think my plan has too much food AND I am going to get fat? Food is fuel and consuming the right macronutrients will help to dictate the way your body functions, feels and performs. Our fuelling guides have been purposefully designed to align with your goal, whether that’s to get fitter or stronger. Trust the process and take note of the changes you notice in your body when given the fuel it requires to perform its best. However, if you’re still unsure and seeking more guidance, you can take full advantage of the live chats with our dietitian every second week.

I thought these fuelling guides were customised to me. Can I have a personal meal plan prepared? The fuelling guides designed for the Lifestyle Refresh Program have been created to macronutrient targets specific to your goals, fitness level and gender. Unfortunately, we cannot prepare a personalised fuelling guide for each individual entering our program. Our fuelling guides have been intentionally created to offer multiple alternative meal options, should you not like certain meals or ingredients.

Are these supplements okay to take while breastfeeding?We’ve designed the supplements to be friendly for breastfeeding, however, we recommend you check with your practitioner prior to taking any form of supplementation.

What if I don’t like something in my meal plan?We appreciate that everyone has different taste buds, dietary requirements and preferences when it comes to food. As such, our fuelling guides have been carefully designed to offer multiple alternatives of similar macro content per meal, to ensure everyone is satisfied and motivated to continue with the program.

Are there Vegan & Vegetarian fuelling guides? We certainly do have vegan and vegetarian options!

5 Frequently Asked Questions | ASN Lifestyle Refresh Program

How do I go away for a long weekend while doing the challenge and not lose all my hard work? The Lifestyle Refresh Program is all about creating healthier habits and changes you can sustain for a lifetime, not just a short time. As such, we don’t believe in restrictive diets or unrealistic programs that are likely to make you rebound to your old ways - Life is all about balance. However, if you’re looking for healthy tips to help you stay on track while you’re away, here are a few simple ideas:

• Pack healthy snacks in your handbag - such as protein bars, fruit, protein shakes, nuts etc.

• If you go out for lunch or dinner make healthier choices from the menu, get veggies instead of chips, or swap them forsweet potato, don’t order that dessert that you normally would.

• Make the most of our live chats - Harriet Walker will be doing a live stream focused on healthy eating while dining out

Do I have to be a member of a gym? Not at all! As part of the fitter and stronger programs, you’ll find ‘at-home’ and ‘outdoors’ training programs, that will allow you to train wherever you are. These programs are jam-packed with fantastic exercises that are equally as effective as using gym equipment!.

Can I do my own workouts? Of course, you can! Everyone has different passions and different hobbies, and including your own workouts into it will only help. Whether you play a team sport or like to indulge in other outdoor activities, we encourage you to continue doing exercises that interest you. If you get stuck, chat with our ASN experts.

Do I do this with a trainer or on my own? It’s completely up to you. If you are brand new to this, you can use a trainer to take you through all the main exercises so you know you’re getting the correct technique. However, our program has been designed for ALL fitness levels and understanding. We’ve got loads of tutorial videos and step-by-step processes to make it all the more easier for you to understand if you’re just starting out. Likewise, you’ll have the full support of our ASN team, your fellow participants and our Exercise Physiologist, Dan Conn.

Can I do F45 or Cross Fit and get the same results? You sure can. Both F45 and Crossfit or any other classes that keep you moving are a good mix of both resistance training and Cardio.

What is a good meal to have before I train?You want to try and consume a meal with a good source of carbohydrates and protein to ensure your body has sufficient fuel to burn. If energy stores are low, your body may sacrifice muscle as an energy source. You should always base your carbs around your sessions, ensuring carbs pre and post-workout.

FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS

6 Frequently Asked Questions | ASN Lifestyle Refresh Program

What is fasted cardio? Performing low-intensity cardio in a fasted state (eg. first thing in the morning on an empty stomach). When performing fasted cardio, the goal is to utilise fat as an energy source. We can achieve this by doing low-intensity cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast or straight after our training session when our glycogen stores are low.

What is HIIT?A quick 20-minute HIIT session will be a lot more beneficial than slogging yourself for a long period of time. For example, once you finish your long run, the fat burning process will stop. Whereas, after a HIIT session, you will keep burning fat throughout the whole day.

How long should I rest between sets? Depending on what you’re training and what your specific goal is, the training program will tell you how long to rest in between sets.

Why take protein powder? Protein is one of the best supplements for fat loss. You’ve just burnt up all your calories during exercise, you need to fuel it with protein, not only for better recovery but to stop you going into a catabolic state. It is great for snacks and in between meals to keep you full and stop those cravings. Most people can’t meet their protein intake, so it’s an easy option to get a few more calories in.

What’s the importance of BCAAs?The second most important supplement for training in order to increase lean muscle mass and performance is BCAAs. Best taken during your workout, it works by moving through the blood to the brain, lowering mental fatigue (and reducing the sense of tiredness). When you’re doing big weight training sessions, it is essential to use BCAAs to fuel your muscles, speed up recovery and decrease catabolism (loss of muscle).

How long will my supplement pack last? Will I have to repurchase this pack during the challenge? Depending on how often you train and use these supplements will determine how long the supplement pack will last. However, we highly recommend you continue to use these supplements to maximise results. Although, this is not compulsory to repurchase and will not affect any judging for the challenge.

Do I have to purchase the additional supplements recommended? No, you do not have to purchase any additional products during the challenge if you do not wish to. We will only suggest additional products to help you maximise your journey and results if you wish to purchase.

7 Frequently Asked Questions | ASN Lifestyle Refresh Program

Everyone uses pre-workout, should I take a pre-workout?You certainly don’t have to. However, it can help with performance and motivation to want to train. Varying in ingredients and style, there are many different types of pre-workouts available that have been designed to help improve strength, gains, focus, performance, energy and more.

I don’t normally eat breakfast, should I be?Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and the most effective meal for fuelling your body with the nutrients it needs to start the day optimally and function at its best. It only takes two minutes to whip up a bowl of oats, make a smoothie or cook some toast. Having a well-balanced breakfast will not only give you energy, but it’ll also get your metabolism firing to help with your fat loss efforts. If you are training in the morning (especially weight training), you can risk burning into your muscle rather than fat stores. Get in a quick banana or protein shake when on the run before your session. This will not only increase strength but will help reduce the breakdown of muscle (catabolic state).
