The Lose Big program is a 13-week program that is divided into four phases. The first phase is called ‘Courage’ which is technically an orientation for the participants.

But more than just a simple orientation, this phase teaches the participants how to make “decisions about exercise and nutrition before and after the course.” Gentle exercises are taught as well to warm the participants up, and prepare them for the coming road ahead.

2)Exercise
After that first week, the ‘Determination’ phase comes next, which runs from weeks 2 to 8. From the gentle exercises taught in the previous phase, the intensity of the exercises rise up steadily, like climbing a ladder, the focus of which is to promote better cardiovascular ability, improve strength, and promote flexibility.

The program’s steady climb in intensity is designed so, to allow the participants to effectively adjust. Each level is designed to be challenging and will push the participant, but never too difficult that he/she will just surrender.

On the 9th week, the program kicks into a higher gear called the Momentum phase, where the focus will be to really push the participants into stepping up the pace, hence burning more calories, and improving body tone.

The preparation done in the previous phase should ensure that the participants will be able to keep up with the Momentum phase.

3)Nutrition Information
Just as vital as exercise and motivation, is proper diet and nutrition information. Lose Big’s final phase called ‘Take Control’ puts an exclamation point in taking control of your own workout, and managing your dietary intake and appetite.

Although, the program makes you aware of the importance of a balanced diet constantly throughout, it is in this phase that the program really delivers its message to its participants: take control of your life.

This phase starts on the 12th week, and hopes to ensure that the participants will be given the proper knowledge to keep the weight from ever coming back.
