Embarking on a fitness regimen can seem daunting, especially when you're not sure where to begin or how to structure your workouts to ensure optimal results. The 60 Day Revolution, introduced by James Grage and supported by a panel of experts including Nerijus Bagdonas and Jim Sayih, simplifies this process through a meticulously structured program designed to cater to a variety of fitness goals and equipment availability. The program spans across multiple phases—ranging from the introduction of basic exercises to a shock phase intended for maximized muscle engagement. Each phase introduces a mix of upper body, lower body, conditioning, and rest days, ensuring a holistic approach to fitness. The regimen goes beyond mere exercise routines; it incorporates strategic rest periods and varied conditioning options to adapt to individual needs and preferences. Additionally, the program is built to adjust its intensity and complexity over time, accommodating both beginners and those looking to intensify their workout routines. Complete with a daily guide and rep schemes tailored to each workout phase, the 60 Day Revolution not only guides users through diverse workouts but also encourages them to share their journey, fostering a community of motivated individuals striving for personal improvement.

PROTEIN
Protein provides the amino acids needed to repair and grow muscle tissue. It also has the benefit
of keeping you fuller for longer, which means you’re less likely to rummage through that box of candy left over from the holidays. A beginner can really benefit from increasing protein intake to
at least one gram per pound of body weight per day.
CARBS
Carbs are actually your body’s preferred source of fuel. Cutting carbs in an effort to quickly shed weight can actually reduce the quality of your workouts and can compromise your body’s ability to create and hold on to muscle. You need carbs for energy. Yes, eaten to excess, carbs can cause weight gain, but you’d do better to watch your overall calorie intake, as it’s excess calories in general that lead to fat storage . A healthier relationship with carbs entails eating (primarily) unprocessed sources from potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, fruits, and vegetables.
FAT
You’ve got to eat it to lose it. Seriously. Multiple studies have shown that consumption of healthy fats can actually lead to greater fat loss and improve protein synthesis while also protecting your
heart and brain. Taking in 0.4 grams of fat per pound of body weight per day from healthy sources such as fish, olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds is essential for overall health and athletic
performance.
FOOD PYRAMID
You should manipulate your consumption of these macronutrients to meet particular caloric targets based on your overall goals. Those looking to gain muscle, will need more calories and more carbs. Lower (not low) carb and calorie counts are standard for those more concerned with dropping weight or leaning out.
Use the Food Pyramid as a starting point for your daily macronutrient breakdown and caloric requirements, then adjust up or down incrementally until you find what works best for you.
NUTRITION SAMPLE PLANS
What you put in your body has a drastic impact on the way you look, feel, and lift. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced
lifter, your food intake will be the greatest determining factor in the degree of change you are able to achieve. Here are two sample meal plans for two different goals: muscle gain and fat loss.
Below examples are two sample meal plans for muscle gain and fat loss. To truly gain quality lean muscle mass, you need a balanced diet both high in carbs and calories. A balanced diet will help you achieve either goal.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is an example meal plan and breakdown of the healthy foods you can eat for a
