The basic plan is to combine the synergy of the four quadrant for your own specific individuality. We first measure our starting point using a tape measurer to record our measurements, and a simple ruler or inexpensive body fat calipers to record our body fat levels. Next we choose our individual plan based on our unique exercise history, experience level, age and goals. Next we can choose either to follow the basic 3 month 3 phase plan given in the program (with options in the plan for training at home with little equipment), or if we are experienced enough we can modify that structure with the information in the chapter "How To Put Together Our Workouts" on page 169. Examine the exerpts and table of contents below:

Here is where we lay down the entire plan for fitness. The Plan for the synergistic Fitness Quadrant system is completely structured, but it has 2 paths. For those of you who find it simpler to just follow a predefined plan then you can follow the Calculated Timelines that follow. Some of you who are either already advanced or just very creative may decide to put together your own customized routine with the instructions that follow.
In a yearly Timeline we look at 4 complete cycles. As we zoom in on our yearly timeline, we see that a complete cycle is performed in 3 months, or 13 weeks. This basic interval has been known to provide the time frame for cycling different types of training for successful transformations, but varieties of this time structure should be explored. We break it down to every 4 weeks of a Muscle Building cycle, a Shape Training cycle, and a Fat Loss cycle. Then we look at weekly, next daily, then finally hourly Timelines. It is an aspect of zooming in along our timeline.
