Bulletproof Body workouts

HIIT: Twice a week, you’ll do a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout that takes less than 20 minutes. HIIT combines all the benefits of resistance training and aerobic exercise in one workout. It’s the most efficient way to build muscle and endurance and torch fat, so you spend less time exercising and reap all of the rewards.

Weights: Once a week, you’ll hit the weights to stimulate muscle growth and increase your metabolic rate. You can follow the workouts provided here, or choose your own.

Move: On days you aren’t working out, make sure you’re still moving. Take a long walk, do some light yoga, or try a new fitness class.

Bulletproof Body meal plan

For the first two weeks, you’ll follow the two-week Bulletproof Protocol, straight out of “The Bulletproof Diet.” This plan was developed by Bulletproof Founder Dave Asprey to help you lose up to a pound a day without feeling hungry.

What it is: The Bulletproof Diet combines intermittent fasting and a cyclical ketogenic diet. That means 50 – 70 percent of your calories come from fat, 20 percent from protein, and 5 percent from fruit or starch. One day a week, you’ll take a break from keto and eat more carbs than usual.

How it works: Because you’re fasting, you drink only coffee for breakfast (more on that below), and eat lunch and dinner within a six-hour window. Eat lunch 15 to 18 hours after last night’s dinner, and eat dinner 5 to 6 hours after lunch. So, if you finished dinner at 6 pm, eat lunch the next day around noon.

What you’ll eat: Every day starts with a cup of butter-filled Bulletproof Coffee, which is the ultimate breakfast because it keeps you full and energized for hours. Because it contains only fat, and no carbs or protein, it won’t break your fast (more on that here). After the two-week Bulletproof Protocol, you’ll have the option to skip intermittent fasting once a week. See how you feel on the days you eat a tasty, high-fat breakfast.

In the Bulletproof Body meal plan, you’ll find recipes that taste great, are easy to prepare ahead of time, and adhere to the Bulletproof Diet. Download the recipe booklet here. It’s filled with ingredients that will help you look and feel your best by removing foods that spike blood sugar and cause inflammation.

Why the Bulletproof Body Workout Plan works

Your time is precious. The way you use it can help you live longer, enjoy more meaningful interactions with the people you love, and recognize spots in your life that are bringing you down.

With the Bulletproof Body Workout Plan, you’ll spend less time in the gym, but more time burning fat; less time cooking breakfast, but more time feeling energized; less time feeling tired, but more time accomplishing your goals.

You’ll also find plenty of room for flexibility. Think of these workouts and recipes as your personal inspo. Listen to the way your body feels after a great HIIT workout or a plate of grass-fed steak and organic vegetables, and check in with yourself along the way.

Are you thinking more clearly, moving more easily, and sleeping better?

Great. You’re on your way to a Bulletproof Body.
