Join us for our AT HOME Holistic Wellness Retreat!!

I know we all see those chicks in bikinis on Instagram talking about their wellness retreats and juicing on a beach somewhere exotic BUT I know we all can't jet set half way across the world. (YET ;) ) Here are some reasons why we want to do this at HOME instead of flying off to an island & why we are inviting you:

1. They are expensive YO! 'nuff said there.

2. The retreats are either too short to get the benefits or way too long & will take time away from our sweet puppy faces we love so much! #nothanks

3. We would have to stop everything to go reset. This means that we have to take what we have learned and apply it to our life when we get home with having little to no experience cooking LEGIT vegan or vegetarian meals on our own.  PLUS I meannnn, I can do it but it wont be that great. HELLO, even though Derek cooks for me most of the time, hes not well versed in that type of cooking either!! Ya girl needs help here!  We wouldn't have the experience of applying and living it in my EVERY DAY normal life which is ALMOST completely um, NOT beneficial long term for us.

We wanted to do something that allows us to reset without breaking the bank & taking up all of our time. && We want to do it WITH YOU, because well, we aren't the ONLY ones who want a shift in our lives AND we need the support just as much as anyone else!

Making a commitment. Why the hell are we doing this?

Before Coach Summit in Nashville a couple weeks ago, I had already decided to commit to the ULTIMATE RESET in August, so when Beachbody's CEO Carl Daikeler challenged us to start ONE program from start to finish I was like HELL YES, WE got this! It was a TOTAL confirmation for us to do this reset! Making the commitment to do this program was BIG for us! Its 3 weeks of totally working together & holding each other accountable which will be SO GREAT for our health separately, but also as a couple!

we so cute right?! ;)

 Lets go a little deeper.

After talking it over for a long time I was considering going to a 100% plant based like but later decided to just cut out meat from our diets and become pescitarian after reflecting on our health & history We knew it was TIME to do a RESET. The Boyfriend has been feeling reallly crummy lately - always getting sick, always tired and recently becoming quite dependent on alcohol.   And on my end, I have been dealing with the reappearance of my anxiety, depression, feeling tire and frustrated all the time and becoming quite dependent on wine. I have ONLY been really committed to my health & fitness for a little under 2 years now & I've been working really hard on my growth and learning my body through home fitness with Beachbody's kick ass programs. Before that, I was always a major health nut and never allowing myself to get this "let go"! What we want to do is do a cleanse that will still allow us to EAT while we detox & allow our bodies to reset NATURALLY.

We wanted a fun way to have the wellness retreat feel with keeping the practicality of learning to incorporate it into our daily lives, without the time away from home, and all without the price tag! Not saying its going to be EASY, but its so much better & FUN with a community!

Reclaim. Release. Restore.

I have heard countless stories about the reset, how it has the power to completely transform your life which as you know, I'M ALL ABOUT! One of my fellow coaches just finished the reset & lost 15 FREAKING LBS!! HELLO!

So, what specifically is the Ultimate Reset and how does it help you down the road to wellness? The Ultimate Reset is a 21-day program that gently helps restore the body to its “factory settings” while maximizing energy production and nutrient retention. The Ultimate Reset is a program designed to get the body in top shape internally, just as a fitness program gets the body in top shape externally. Anyone looking to restore energy, boost moods, and maximize health can dramatically improve the way they feel and function.

RECLAIM. The first week of the Ultimate Reset is phase 1 where you will reclaim your body, accessing its inner chemistry and preparing it for change. You’ll gradually remove foods such as red meat and dairy from your diet.

RELEASE. With week two comes phase 2 where you begin to release unwanted compounds that have been holding your system back and start the detoxification process. This phase includes a gentle colon cleanse and digestive support. DON’T WORRY you won’t be running to the bathroom! This is a gentle cleanse where you’ll be eating 3 meals a day + snacks. (YAY FOOD!!!!) However, you’ll now be eating a fully vegan diet.

RESTORE. Week three begins phase 3 where you’ll help restore your digestive system along with other internal processes to maximum efficiency, putting nutrients, enzymes, and pre-and probiotics back into your body.

YO!! I thought you said wellness retreat?! Whats up with that?

SO! This is the EXTRA fun part! After the first week and a half of the Reset you will have access to an online Yoga Retreat that will be 21 days long. This retreat will be done on Beachbody On Demand and will begin with a week of straightforward yoga basics. The focus will be on basic positions and alignment, no fancy schmancy stuff just simple poses led by yogis who specialize in many different types of yoga. Week two takes it a little farther with some flow but it is still not too complicated or aggressive. Week three puts it all together and challenges you even more. One of the coolest things about this: YOU WILL BE IN  THE FIRST GROUP TO DO THIS and it’s designed forBEGINNERS. Since there is NO working out on the reset (even me! I need this rest to totally heal from adrenal fatigue) this is the only thing you are cleared to do! Your body is doing ENOUGH hard work on its own while it replenishes itself back to a beautiful place for you, so adding extra stress on the body will be TOTALLY unnecessary and will probably hinder you!

Let’s FREAKING Do this Thang!

You will be added to a Facebook group with other people participating in our retreat. We will be sharing wellness tips, doing some personal development, and there will be some of my favorite videos from motivational speakers and  mindset/personal development specialists. GET EXCITED because we are going to embark on an AMAZING journey into health and wellness.

We will kick off on Monday August 29th so you have to have your pack ordered by WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24th to be in the group. We are going to be doing this right along side each other so every one is kicking off on the same day, us included. Just as much as you need the support, we need the support too! Do not miss out on this YOU GUYS!!! We are coming into a time of the year where taking care of ourselves is not the priority and everyone and everything else is! This is why it's super important to reboot our systems and realign our priorities so that we are able to live the life we deserve EVEN especially though the stress of the holiday season!

Join me on August 29th and let’s make the end of the year as healthy as it can be. Make sure when you get your pack you select a VEGAN Shakeology, I recommend chocolate since you will be on a strict meal plan for 21 days and will want your daily chocolate fix but this way it’s in the form of superfoods!! YAY! WE ARE SO excited to start this journey TOGETHER!!!

Summer is almost over? Already? That was quick!

We are moving quickly into that time of year where things can get really, really, really hectic. If you have kids they are heading back to school and this means that you have the extra added pressure of getting them to where they need to be and managing their schedules. We are also moving into the Fall, temperatures are going to start getting cooler and before we know it we will be inundated by candy, treats, and a whole lot of demands on our time. This is why it is really important to set your intention RIGHT NOW to get in the best shape of your life and make time for yourself. We cannot be of maximum service to those around us if we do not take care of ourselves first. In my experience, it is a whole lot easier to deal with the demands of life if we are taking care of health and fitness and fueling our bodies correctly. It is in this spirit that Beachbody has gone and done a couple of AMAZING things to help us all have an amazing fall. The first thing is this: With the launch of the Health Bet they are going to pay you to get fit…with my help of course.

Health Bet and you, a winning combination for the Fall:

When you participate in a challenge group with me between September 5th, 2016 to October 2nd, 2016 we will get you entered into the Beachbody Health Bet. When you meet all of the qualifications, that are set up to help you make massive progress towards YOUR goals, you will qualify for and automatically win an equal share of a pot of $1,000,000 all the way up to $3 Million Dollars total. That sounds like a sweet deal huh? This is one of the reasons that I love Beachbody, they are always coming up with creative and fun ways to help end the trend of obesity in this country.

Qualifications you say?

Nothing in life is free and in my experience things earned are so much sweeter than things that are given. So, to get your piece of the pot you have to participate in a Challenge Group with me and we will get you entered into the net and you will meet your first qualification. We will conduct our group via an awesome app that Beachbody came out with so it will all be easy to track. The second qualification is that you have to log a minimum of five (5) Shakeology’s with photos and three (3) workouts during each of the four qualification weeks. These are pure accountability tools. Shakeology has been my go to health and wellness elixir for the last almost 6 years. It has been VITAL for my success in achieving what my goals with health and fitness and it has always been a requirement to be in my group. The people who had the results I wanted when I started were drinking Shakeology daily and they required it of me and I wanted what they had so I did it. When I made that commitment and invested in myself and my health and wellness I did what it took to get the results that I so desperately wanted. When you meet these two easy and necessary qualifications not only will you be on your way to reaching your goals and have created some amazing new healthy habits but you will automatically win an equal share of a $1,000,000 up to $3,000,000 total prize pool. All in all, this is pretty easy to qualify for and what a great incentive for you to commit to YOU for an entire month! (and start your impending Holiday season on the right foot!)

The Beachbody Health Bet: Get Paid to Get Fit!

Do you want to get paid for working out?  How about earning extra cash just from forming healthy habits?  If so, Beachbody has you covered with the Health Bet, starting Sept 5, 2016!

What is Beachbody’s Health Bet?

Beachbody is literally betting cold hard cash that you will fall in love with getting healthy!

During the Challenge Period, from September 5th – October 2nd, 2016, anyone who meets the requirements below will win an equal share of a $1 million dollar pot funded by Beachbody! As a BONUS – for every Challenge Pack sold from July 27th – August 31st, 2016, Beachbody will add $5 to the pot for up to a $3 million dollar total!

Beachbody’s Health Bet focuses on building healthy habits.

I love that the Health Bet isn’t focused on the scale.  It’s not about weight loss, getting ripped, or making those abs pop.

You are rewarded for creating healthy habits, because Beachbody’s mission is to promote healthy living and improved quality of life!

Workout three times per week and drink five Shakeology shakes.  That’s it.  No pressure to workout for hours.  No embarrassing weigh ins.  You workout, drink a shake, and post them in your Beachbody Challenge Tracker app, where you choose who sees: either just your coach and no one else, or into the group feed where other participants in your challenge group can cheer you on.  Super simple.  No stress.  Fitness managed and accountability ensured, directly in the free Beachbody My Challenge Tracker app, available HERE for iPhone and HERE for Droid!

How much will you win?

It depends on how large the final pot will be (minimum of  $1 million and maximum of $3 million) and how many people participate.  So it could be $5, $15, $50 or more.   Beachbody will announce the total pot amount in early September.

But the good news is this… whether you get a big check, or just enough to buy a Green Tea Frappuccino, you will be a winner in that you have created the healthy habits of moving your body and drinking a healthy shake!  You will be a stronger, more fit, more vibrant person at the end of the month than you were when you started.

Want to join me?

I am running a special Health Bet challenge group for the entire contest period with my team of coaches.  We start September 5th and run through October 2nd.  So you will not only earn the Beachbody Health Bet payout, but you’ll also get my personal support and accountability, along with that of my entire team and everyone that chooses to join them as well!  No social media like Facebook required, and if you choose to remain completely private in the challenge and log your workouts and Shakeology pics for just me as your coach and Beachbody to see, that’s great.  You’ll still see the group feed for inspiration and I’ll be here cheering you on while working on my own goals (and cash)!

1. I need to be your official Beachbody coach.  If you don’t have a coach, sign up here for a Free Team Beachbody Membership.  If you are already working with a coach please reach out to him or her to see if they are offering challenge groups for the contest period.  If you don’t have a personal relationship with your coach and are not getting the support you need, message me and we'll get that information off to you and squared away.
2. A Challenge Pack, which is your workout program bundled with a month supply of Shakeology.  Check out the Challenge Packs here…. Browse all Challenge Packs directly on the Team Beachbody store, or use the “Workouts” menu at the top of my website page.
3. A smart phone to access the My Challenge Tracker app.  Links to download both iOS and Droid versions are a few paragraphs above.

Autumn Calabrese Country Heat Launch

What Is Country Heat By Autumn Calabrese?

Do you like Country Music?
Do you like dance cardio?
Do you want to spice up your cardio?
Do you DISLIKE working out?
Do you need your workouts to be fun in order to do them?

No matter what your reason, if you are looking for something to spice up your fitness regime or you want to get started this could be the program for you!

Beachbody is releasing a BRAND NEW fitness program on July 28th 2016 to the network!  COUNTRY HEAT is going to knock your socks off!  At first I was a little skeptical of a country music workout because I have two left feet, I'm not very coordinated and I just want to get in, get my workout done and get out.  I really wasn't excited about this new program!  BUT..... that all changed when I got the chance to do the workout live with AUTUMN CALABRESE on the Success Club Cruise in March!!! This program had me literally DRIPPING sweat and I didn't feel lost or confused by the moves.  Anyone can do it!  It is not hard at all.  Plus my legs were on fire, my core was burning and I could tell it is way more than cardio.  
It's great for your entire body!  

I am really excited for the launch of this program and I'm going to be walking a select group of people from beginning to end through the program!  I'm going to be making sample meal plans, giving you recipes, tips and guidance on how to rock this program!  The people in the test group are getting incredible results and one even lost over 60 pounds in 90 days!!! That is so cool.

So lets talk about WHAT this program actually is?

First of all it features all of the hottest country music!  There is NO  CHOREOGRAPHY to remember, just follow along for the 27-30 minute workout!  This workout program is high energy, low impact dance workout that is super fun and easy to follow.  Autumn Calabrese created this program and has also created the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Co Creator of Hammer and Chisel, author of the Fixate cookbook, mom and bikini competitor.  She has her certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Fitness Professionals and Associates. She is extremely talented and gifted at getting you results.

There are 5 high energy, cardio based dance workouts, 1 dance conditioning workout, and the portion controlled eating plan! 

WHAT MAKES COUNTRY HEAT EFFECTIVE?

First of all it is a workout you will actually stick to!  Autumn makes it fun and easy.

You get 5 high energy dance workouts and 1 dance conditioning workout to give you all the calorie burning benefits of a great cardio workout while using every muscle in your body to fire up your metabolism.

There are no complicated moves, NO WEIGHTS OR EQUIPMENT required.

Autumn uses her portion control container system and meal plan to help you lose weight by eating what you want in the right amounts each day.  

WHO CAN DO COUNTRY HEAT?

ANYONE from beginners to 21 Day Fix Graduates to those advanced in their fitness that want something different and fun!  It is great for all ages and sizes!  People who like Zumba, people who want to lose weight and are looking for results in 30 days!  People who generally don't like to exercise or who want a lifestyle change, but aren't sure where to begin!  {DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU??}  

This workout is great for people who have tried and failed at complicated diets and exercise programs.  The reason is that its easy to follow the portion controlled container system and you have ME as your coach to guide you every single step of the way!  I will teach you how to meal plan, prep, and stick with the workouts from beginning to end.  Plus the workouts are fun and you don't even know you are working out!!!  

If you want to lose weight then yes that is accomplished in the program!  I encourage everyone to do at least 2-3 rounds of the program. The reason is that in the first 30 days you are just learning the ropes.  You are getting a good handle on your nutrition and understanding the portion controlled containers.  As you dial in your nutrition you can increase your results!!

This program is great for those that like to dance but are intimidated by choreography.  THAT IS ME!!!  I have two left feed and I want to get in, sweat and get out!  So I'm pumped for this!

WHAT DO YOU GET WITH THE PROGRAM?

When you purchase your Country Heat you will get:

- 6 workouts on 3 DVDs in 30 minutes or less.

-7 Color coded portion controlled containers to efficiently help you portion out your food

-Country Heat Nutrition Plan which is an easy to follow guide that has recipes, tips, and more to help you get results.

-30 Days of Shakeology in any flavor 

-Quickstart Guide- This is a simple 3 step guide that preps you for your fitness journey by giving you the low down on the nutrition plan and workouts.

-30 Day Calendar so that you know exactly what workouts to do in what order to maximize your results.

-Plus when you get the challenge pack you get access to Country Heat On Demand which means unlimited access to stream Country Heat and all the other workouts to any desktop, laptop, tablet, TV or mobile device.  So you can start your workouts the minute you make your purchase.

SO DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A PROGRAM YOU WANT TO DO??

Did you know you can get it right here from me?  

Plus I am going to be launching my first official COUNTRY HEAT TEST GROUP on Monday, August 1st and workouts start on the 8th of August!  You can get personal, 24/7 mentoring, guidance and support from me in a closed online accountability and support group!  I am going to basically walk you through the entire program from beginning to end.  I will teach you how to navigate the nutrition plan, how to choose healthier snacks, swap out your bad habits for better choices and how to truly make a lifestyle change vs. a crash diet.  

I will be there to help you stay accountable, to track your food, to keep you motivated when you are not feeling it!  My job is to be your support system and sounding board!  I don't want this to be another program you invest in and don't complete!  This time it will be different!! TRUST ME!!
