These vids are really helpful.

Thanks Alison! More to come :) BB xo
Hi Belinda,
I’m excited about starting the program, but am unsure how. I read downloaded the getleanworkoutjumpstartguide, but half of the pages are black and I am unable to read them. I would like to have a schedule of the 12 weeks of workouts that I need to do to get the results, but I cant figure out how to view them. What do I need to do to view them?
Thanks. :)
Hi Kierin, I did a quick check on this issue. You need to make sure that Adobe Acrobat is the default viewer for the PDF’s not “Preview”. If that doesn’t work let me now, it has to do with your Adobe Acrobat settings. Make sure also that you have the latest version of Adobe: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
Please let me know, we will sort it out – one other person had this issue also and the solution above resolved it!

Hi Belinda,
I read that there is a six week fast track program with Get Lean…where would I find that? I’m still going to do the 12 weeks but need some good results faster than that for a vacation..
Thanks!

Hi Nina!
Aussie transplanted in Canada lol G’day!
You will find the six week fast track program in the Get Lean Nutrition Quick Start Guide on page 14.
If you have any questions please post them in the forum in the Ask Belinda section!!
AND, please keep me posted on how things are going!
Belinda
P.S. where is the vacation? :)
Hi Belinda,
I just purchased your get lean program & cant wait to get started. Ive been doing Joey Atlas programs for a while now & absolutely love the results that ive gotten but i feel that doing your program will just push things up a notch:-)
Nadine
Thank you Nadine! Very excited to have you on the program :)

HI I HAVE READ OVER ALL THE CONTENT AND I GUESS AM A LITTLE CONFUSES WITH THE WORKOUT PART.. I ALREADY WORKOUT 30MINS OF CARDIO 6 DAYS A WEEK IN ADDITION TO 30MINS OF MORE CARDIO 3DAYS A WEEK IVE BEEN DOING JOEYS LEG VIDEO 2HRS A DAY 3 DAYS A WEEK AND 2 DAYS A WEEK OF ABS AND ARMS ABOUT 30MINS ON TUES AND ON THURS AND IM NOT LOSING WT NOR AM I LEANING OUT… IM BURN OUT W ALL OF THIS…I AM NOT OVER WT BUT WOULD LIKE 2 LOSE A FEW POUNDS AND GET LEAN I TEND TO GET THICK VERY EASILY ESP IN LEGS AND BUTT…. IM LEGS AND BUTT ARE VERY UNTONED AND SKIN IS SAGGY… SO I GUESS IM CONFUSED HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD I BE DOING CARDIO AND FOR HOW LONG AND HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD I BE DOING WT OR BODY RESISTANCE AND FOR HOW LONG
?
Hi Deana, based on what you have been doing – I would like to see you do the Resistance Training 4 days a week. If you want to add in more cardio – do one of the Bodyweight Training Workouts instead of your regular cardio. Since you are more focused on toning and sculpting this will work better for you and you wont feel so burned out :) Makes sure you get 2 full rest days a week – as part of the results come during that time – so you can keep training with good form and technique.
Please post me your questions in the forum so I can keep a track of how you are progressing – and keep tweaking your program for results.
Belinda
I think there is an issue with forums today. I’ve logged out numerous times then logged back in but can’t see the forum topics.
Hi Sue, yes we had a problem but are updating the program to solve it, I apologize and thanks for your patience!
Belinda
The above videos are very informative. Thanks!
Noreen
Thank you Noreen, I love helping people like this :) so that makes me very happy to hear! Bel
The above videos are very informative. Wondering if I should start the 6 weeks fast track get lean or the 12 weeks.
My B/day is June 4th and I need a new look! Will be doing the 6 basic exercise ball stretches shortly.
Noreen
Hi Noreen :)
To answer your questions accurately I need a little more info – what you have been doing up until now, what you eating has been like, what goals do you have for your body, specifically? If you could post that info in the forum under “Ask Belinda” that would be awesome so I can give you the exact advice you need to see the absolutely best results within the next 5 weeks! Bel
Hi Belinda. I’ve just purchased your program and am super excited to get started.
I’ve been working out for literally years and years yet I’m unable to lose weight (ideally 10 pounds) and I can’t seem to get that incredible ‘lean’ look. (My eating habits are healthy but I see from your guide I could really do with tweaking it).
I do hard-core cardio (in the form of spinning) mixed with cardio-weight training (classes such as 30:60:90, Chiseled, Metcon and personal training) 4 days a week (wed, saturday and sunday I don’t work out) and have excellent stamina and strength. Could I begin the advanced workouts in the get lean program or should I start as a beginner?
Thanks
Hi Jeli!
It would help to have a little more info both re your current physique and your training. Could you please post in the forum – if you want under Journals and Progress Pics – your stats (height, weight, BF% if you know it), photos are optional, and then your main areas of concern that you want to target with your workouts (apart from the weight loss). If you are able to give me a little more detail on your weekly training – how often are the weight sessions and how long for, and if you feel any post workout soreness at all – that will also help.
That should give me enough information to make sure you start out strong!
Bel
Hi Belinda! I `m very excited and ready to do some hard work:)
YES!!! I am excited to make you work hard :) Bel
Whew! I am in at last. Now where to start? I am about 50 lbs. overweight with a neck injury on the right side. The docs tell me I shouldn’t jump or run so other than resistance training, I am wondering my best plan of attack would be? I was a slim, trim 17% body fat girl and now….well, let’s just say, “not very lean anymore”. I saw that you are 48 too so wondered how long it took you to get as lean as you are and what to expect? Honestly, it is the first time I’ve ever been this heavy so decided it is time to get up off my backside and do something about it before it gets any worse. By the way, you look absolutely AMAZING!
Hi Tammy,
Welcome and congrats on taking this positive step forward, I can’t wait to help you on the journey.
Could you please post your question in the forum? It makes it a lot easier for me to keep track of your training and coaching.
I am going to email you direct as well just to check a couple of things!
Talk soon :)

HI Belinda,
I’m really excited to start but unfortunately I have not received the email to confirm the premium transformation package. I’m not sure if something went wrong while paying but I have the paypal receipt and access to this site so I have to assume that the payment went through. Please HELP!!!!

Hallo!
I’m Nadia.I “heard” about you surfing on the net.Since my pocket isn’t doing very well lately I spent almost a month and a half saving money for my body an my mind and here I am.I’m a member since yesterday and I practically read once everything I was sent. I am a bit confused concerning the nutrition part and less about the training plan since I was working out for many many years.I have the fear of not having enough time during the day to prepare all the menus I will be needing either for the same or the next day.I ‘ll do my best and as you advised I don;t expect perfection straight away. I am 39 years old, I was an athlete for almost 20 years.Now I am a mother of two boys (10 and 9) and my body is a combination of skinny-fat from waist up and full of cellulite and shagginess at the lower part. Any suggestions of how to combine the training courses you provided for better results?
I posted at the newbies. Is it OK?
Sorry I am not a good user of forums.Actually it;s the first time I do it. If the new post isn’t enough let me know exactly what you need me to do.
Unfortunately I do not have a steady program. I work on shifts first day evening, next afternoon, next day morning and same day also night from 23:00-04:00.I cannot sleep early during those days. Then I spend 3 days off.I steadily work out the last 3 months after 15 years or so and my body is starting building muscle again but no loss of fat as I can see up to now.I have 1,73 cm of height and I weigh 54kilos. I;m from Greece and I have always followed traditional food habits. No special nutrition habits. That means cooked (maybe overcooked) vegetables, meat (don’t like it a lot), white meat, cheese, bread, etc. I workout at home during the morning around 10-11:00 , I have regular meals the days I don’t work but up to now not more than 4 meals per day. Sometimes I forget to eat.I don’t think I can afford loosing weight. Fat yes!
Hi Belinda
are you able to purchase the nurtution package without committing to the ongoing monthly costs each month afterwards. I wanted to see how the first few months go first before committing
Hi Emma, no problem. You can purchase the Nutrition Program here http://www.getleanprogram.com (which gives you one month’s free access) and then submit a ticket to http://www.belindabennsupport.com requesting to cancel your membership (this won’t affect your 1 months free access). You will get email confirmation and no further charges. Then if you wish to resubscribe you can do so later. I hope that’s clear!

Hello, I am new to the site. I am 50 years young….You all can call me Monti..I enjoy working out but, I tend to get bored after 8 weeks or so. I am excited to get started with the transformation…..
Hello Monti and welcome :)
I doubt you’ll get bored on this program lol…I have so many awesome workouts to choose from.
Please say “hi” in the forum and I’ll help you get started by recommending the best program.

Hi There,
I am a newbie. I am hurtling towards fat, forty (at the end of the year) and flabulous and want to change to my future to fab, forty and fabulous. I have been ‘dieting’ for nearly 20 years and that is really depressing if you stop and think about it because the only thing that’s lighter is my bank balance. Unfortunately I have to have an operation in a couple of weeks time (third in 18 months) so will be out of action completely for a couple of weeks and then with very limited upper body movements for anything up to 6 months rehab, however decided to take this opportunity to at least get myself set to change my eating habits, and will add in the exercise as I can. (Of course hospital food and the havoc general anaesthetic and pain medication plays on my body will set me back for a week or so, as will trying to prepare food with only one arm able to be used, but hopefully this will give me the tools and motivation to succeed this time.)
Hi Bernadette and welcome!
I think a lot of women here can relate to your 20 year diet. You’ll be happy to know Get Lean is designed to build healthy, sustainable eating habits for the long term. It really works!
Sorry to hear about your operation. But having this program and access to the forum and all the motivational resources will help a lot to keep you positive and focused on eating healthy. And there are heaps of fantastic recipes in the program.
You are right re the op and anesthetic. Great idea to get prepared now. Stock up on the foods you need, maybe even prepare some and freeze. Make sure you have lot of healthy snack options. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Once you have doctors clearance to do light exercise for the lower body please let me know by posting in the forum.
In the meantime, any questions – please post them there so I can support you (and the other girls here) during the weeks ahead.
Belinda
Hi Belinda,
I have printed out everything! I need to build my binder. My question is what order does this go in?
Thanks,
Cin
Hi Cindy,
The Nutrition has Part 1, 2 and 3, pop them in that order. Store the workouts in order of Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, workouts 1-4. Put the Quick Start and Jump Start Guide at the beginning.
If you have any questions please post them in the forum!

Hello Belinda!
I am so excited to start your program. I am 45 and in “decent” shape but have noticed that I now have some belly fat where I was always so thin, even after 3 kids. It is like it happened overnight, but I know that is the case – I was used to eating what I wanted with no consequences and it finally caught up with me! I have always been a regular exerciser, but now I can’t seem to get back the shape I want. My legs have always been my finest asset but a couple weeks ago as I was looking in the mirror, I thought, “Omg….I have 45 year old legs!” They are no longer muscular (but not flabby) and they have a few dimpley looking areas along the inner front. I have never had this before, so help! Also, on my lower hip area, I have noticed some stretch marks and have no idea when those came about or what to do about them. They are not purplish as some people complain of, they just look like creases in my hip/side buttock area.
Cannot wait to get home and get started on your program tonight!
Hi Tonya!! I just read your first forum post and replied :)
I hear you on the legs, actually I have a few stretch marks in the exact spot you mention also. I never noticed them either. I can really relate to your sudden enlightenment – oh crikies, what happened to my legs. It was exactly like that for me age 38.
Anyway – good news – I have the solution!
Check out my answer to your forum post and talk soon :)
