Dear Reader,
Hello and thank you for picking upThe Ultimate Body Plan. This 12-week nutrition and exercise plan will make you leaner and fitter and give you the body you love. How do I know? Because I did it!
My name is Gemma Atkinson. I’m an actress, radio DJ, model, dog fanatic, pyjama-wearing supermarket-goer and proud Mancunian, who can often be found sweating it out in the gym.
In the last couple of years my life has changed beyond recognition, and, as some of you may have noticed, so has my body. I train. I watch what I eat. I take looking after myself seriously. At 34 years old, I feel more confident about how I look now than I did when I was in my twenties. With that confidence comes so much else: I’m healthier, I’ve got more energy, my skin is clear and I sleep like a baby (when I want to…).
You may know me as sulky schoolgirl Lisa Hunter from the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks. Or you may recognise me from Casualty, Emmerdale, Strictly Come Dancing, the lads’ mags I used to model for, my Hits Radio show, or even solely from the fitness-inspired posts I upload to Instagram. Or perhaps you’ve never seen me before in your life, but picked up this book because 12 weeks to a shiny new you sounds like something you want to get on board with. However you arrived here – to these pages of my very first book (argh!) – welcome! I’m so excited you’re up for making changes, because the plan detailed here transformed my life and it’ll do the same for yours too.
I’m really proud that I’ve found what makes me happy and what makes me feel good, that I’ve learned how to appreciate my body for what it is and what it can do and that I can share that with others. So many people go their whole lives without feeling good about themselves. You can do this. Just change your environment for 12 weeks and I can guarantee you won’t ever want to go back.
By picking up this book you’re taking the first step on a journey that will change your life. All you have to do is decide to commit and you’ll succeed.
