Fit Gurl: The Total-Body Turnaround Program

No excuses, serious results: a non-nonsense fitness and nutrition plan designed by Kim Kardashian’s celebrated personal trainer, Melissa Alcantara, aka Instagram star Fitgurlmel. In her early-thirties, with two kids, a soda and processed-food addiction, and no expensive gym membership, Melissa Alcantara had enough. She realized her daily hour at the gym was reflected in every part of life, from her productivity and performance to her relationships and sex. She decided to get uncomfortable, to stop “working out” and start working—to kick her own ass at the gym and at home. Because the only thing holding her back from achieving the body she wanted was herself. Now, she shares the ass-kicking plan that transformed her life with everyone. The Turnaround is a path to self-discovery through fitness. When you begin to truly work your work out and your diet, you will learn to love and intimately know your body—maybe for the first time ever—and its responses, and accept and embrace every part of yourself for who you are. It’s all based on her four-step process that goes beyond good health and focuses on four Cs: Control Connection Concentration Consistency As Mel persuasively demonstrates, the Turnaround goes beyond fitness. It’s life. What do you want? To have biceps, a butt, and defined abs? To wear anything with confidence? To feel resilient and capable in every situation? There’s no insta-anything. It’s about work. If you’re ready to put in the time, commitment, and energy, she promises she’ll get you there. The Turnaround is illustrated with two-color food and exercise photographs throughout.
