Lean & Mean in 2016

Let's turn those Resolutions into Results!

Time to get SERIOUS about 2016!

We are a few days from Christmas, and I know you really don't want to be thinking about your 2016 fitness and health goals, but how about we nip it now so you can enjoy your holiday parties knowing you are set up for success???

I broke down my newest Challenge Group into a really simple 3 step process for you!

Step one.... pick either Hammer & Chisel, 21 Day Fix, or Fix Extreme... we can go over your goals and decide together which one will be best for you!

Step two... Flavor of Shakeology! I always get asked "Do I really need to get those shakes?"
And my answer is YES! You need to at least try them out. Because let's be honest, would you leave out the jelly in a pb&j? or only brush your top teeth?? NO! So why leave out an important piece to this puzzle? It's just silly!

Step three.... decide on any extra you may want to go along with your Challenge Pack. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE having wrist weights when working out and doing my cardio, it adds an extra challenge and shapes my arms! Goodbye under arm jiggle!
These are completely optional!!!

And last.... freebies! 
Bonus dvds for buying through me, free tshirt (and possibly CASH PRIZES) for participating, AND a Free copy of Fixate to jump start your meal planning!

Phew! Sounds pretty easy to me!

I can't wait to work with you in the new year. I have a feeling this will be our best year yet!

We start January 4th! So go ahead and enjoy those parties.... I'll be waiting for ya! hehe!

Can I Share a Story?

Okay can I tell you a story????

So when we teach Piyo, we typically teach a "round" for 8 weeks, then move onto the new one that comes in the mail.
That gives our class time to learn, grow, and get stronger.

When I started Piyo I admit I was pretty awful at it... I'm nit a "to the beat" person. I'm more wild, free and like just knowing a number of times to do something. Piyo crushed that. Because, it's to a beat!

So the 8 weeks aren't just for my students, but for me to grow & learn too. I need it probably more than them but we do it together!

Tonight was week 8 with our round and there's a section in the middle called Flow. It's beautiful when done correctly and is almost like a dance.

Tonight I started it, and quickly found that finding that beat was natural. It happened effortlessly, and as I looked at the class, THEY were perfectly on beat too! We nailed every mark and it was fun to wstch, especially since we had a full 12 person class.

I never do this but I stopped and just talked them through it and watched.... it was really rewarding to see them push their limits, and fight for an extra inch. And finally find the music and trust their abilities.

After we finished we all cheered, they knew it too. They did it!

Reflecting I couldn't help but relate that to everything in my life..... try try try faith faith trust trust and just RELAX and Go with the Flow.......... without realizing it you'll find the beat :)

I'm excited to try a new Flow with them this month.
That's what's fun.... just because we mastered one doesn't mean we don't try something new and go for it with tons if energy!

I practice Piyo Mondays at 5pm! Join us!!!!

8 Stages of a Future Beachbody Business owner

8 Stages of a Future Beachbody Business owner.......
Which stage are you?

1. Indifference: I don't even care about her posts.
2. Sympathy: Bless her heart, she actually thinks this "business" will be successful.
3. Anger: Why is she always posting about this junk? It doesn't work!
4. Denial: That could never work for me, she must have lots of friends who are interested and time.
5. Hope: Well maybe I could try it.....
6. Acceptance: I'm ready! Let's give this a try! Omg what am I even doing!!???!!!
7. Gratitude: I'm so thankful I gave this a shot! The friends and confidence I've gained are totally worth it!
8. Regret: What the heck was wrong with me? This company is ahhhhhmazing and I'm having a blast! Plus I get paid.... shut the front door?? I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner!

So which one are you???

Salmon Pesto Foil Wraps!

This was a huge hit in our house today! And just had the share!

Substitutes:

• white fish instead of salmon
• asparagus instead of green beans... just don't cook them ahead of time
• butter garlic instead of Pesto

Instruction..........

• Boil the veggies in a pot while pre heating your grill (or spray down and get your grill pan ready on the stove, or heat up the oven)
• Boil veggies to get them started cooking, not all the way soft
• Toss in oil, add salt and pepper
• Build your little burrito! hehe Layer veggies, then fish, spread on the Pesto, top with tomatoes (optional)
• Squirt with lemon juice (fresh squeezed y'all!!) before wrapping << optional!
• Roll up that burrito!
• Place on grill... in oven... on grill pan.
• Cook until fish is flakey! 
• open and ENJOY!

And you're welcome! Amazing dish for any night of the week!

oh hi let's be friends!

The Master's Hammer & Chisel

I have been getting lots of questions about Hammer & Chisel, the newest workout from Beachbody, and wanted to take a second and clear some stuff up for you guys!

So let's dive in.....

The Master's Hammer and Chisel is an innovative resistance-training system built on Sagi and Autumn's own expert muscle-sculpting methods. Using just a few dumbbells, a bench or stability ball, and a chin-up bar or a resistance band with a door attachment kit, you'll perform workouts that incorporate three training phases that are essential to total-body transformation, known as SSP Training: Stabilization, Strength, and Power.

* I personally am using my stability ball, weights 5, 8, 10 to start (purchased at Target, and my bands... a door attachment can be purchased through me, your Beachbody coach, as well as a ball and bands) *

What should you buy?

1. Base Kit will get you all the basic tools. Full program, bonus dvd for buying through me, 21 Day Fix containers, H&C meal guide, Calendar, Shakeology cup, Free shirt for participating.

2. Deluxe Kit: Everything from the Base Kit PLUS more free gift dvds, extra set of containers, and medicine ball to hit those muscles in a whole different way.
* This would be perfect for a husband and wife team!!! *

3. Challenge Pack with Shakeology: Base kit plus your choice in flavor of a month supply of Shakeology.

4. Challenge Pack with Performance Line: For someone wanting to boost their athletic results. Energize will get you ready to start, and Recover will help your muscle and take you through the "after burn."

So which should you buy? Message me and we can talk about your goals and which one is best for you!

Who is this for?
Anyone up for a challenge! Someone stuck in their fitness routine. A fit couple wanting to workout together.

How about Beachbody OnDemand?
Want to stream your workout sooner? Well while you wait for the mailman to bring your dvds, you can stream your workouts using Beachbody OnDemand. All Challenge Packs come with a free 30 day trial of OnDemand. People who buy the Base or Deluxe can sign up for a free trial after their purchase as well.
Ask me for details. See links below!

This program is PERFECT for your after Christmas goals... go ahead and enjoy the holidays... we start January 4th in my exclusive Launch group! (sale prices end Dec 31st)

End of Year 21 Day Fix Challenge

Erika's Tip of the Day!

Did you know? Right now there is a secret challenge group happening that is run by Autumn Calabrese... the woman who created the 21 Day Fix and the new Hammer & Chisel workout programs....

She is inviting everyone who either already owns or just purchased the 21 Day Fix or Fix Extreme to join her for a December Fix Challenge! She is leading the group and pops in often to comment and share her progress as well.

And to make things even BETTER, she is giving away lots of prizes! Money.... Performance samplers.... tshirts for all who participate... and she may even share your transformation!

I am in this group and it has been a lot of fun, and we are only on the first week... so there is still time to join and get in your 3 weeks of the Fix before time runs out for the challenge!

You must complete the program and send in before & after pictures (current pictures) to be considered for the prizes.

This will be a terrific lead in for our January Hammer & Chisel group! Talk about results and being ahead of the curve!

** and shhhhh 21 Day Fix is still on sale for a few more days, so you can snag your copy and jump in the group! **

Message me for details or comment below! I want to have a fun group to help me stay accountable in this challenge! And we all get shirts!!!!!! YAY free stuff!!!!

The Master's Hammer & Chisel Launch

It's here!!!!!

Here are all the details, then scroll to the bottom for links to purchase!

As we near the official launch of The Master's Hammer & Chisel, let's get a few common questions out of the way....

Who should buy this program? Whereas I usually say "anyone!" because there is a modifier and easy level, this program is specifically designed to take someone with an already established fitness level, to the next phase. You do not have to be an athlete however to enjoy it because the program is meant to not only build muscle, but also endurance. So if you are up for a challenge, and injury free, then you will do fine.

Do I have to complete Body Beast or 21 Day Fix first? Absolutely not. This is an independent program from the previous ones, but as I stated before, there is some pre existing physical capability needed before you start.

What are some perks of purchasing through a coach? I love this question!!
1. You get a bonus dvd for buying from a coach, and that is true for every single program we sell. And usually it is really good and fun!
2. You get a free tshirt for participating in the official customer launch group.
3. You can win money for participating in the customer launch group! They have tons of test group coach transformations, now it's time to gather those customer transformations to see how it works in the real world.
4. Access to Beachbody OnDemand. When you purchase a challenge pack (see #5) you get instant access to your program BEFORE it arrives at your door. You can stream your workouts anywhere you have internet access. (tv, phone, laptop, ipad)
5. There are two challenge packs available to help you get the results you want.... first with Shakeology, healthiest meal of the day and second with the Beachbody Performance Line, boosting your workout and results (performance is approved for use on the college level, so yeah it's pretty legit).

What equipment will I need before I start?
This can vary and these are just my suggestions, but not as much as you may think.
1. bench or stability ball
2. bands
3. weights (you can get weights almost anywhere, even Walmart, Target or TJ MAXX... no need to buy a huge set unless you truly feel you will use them AND that is apart of your goal plan. I am personally using 5, 8, 10 that I bought at Target)
4. Exercise mat for floor work

All of the above can be purchased through me as well, your coach!

When does the customer launch group start?
Depending on how many people want to join, I am hoping to start a group BEFORE Christmas with another set of customers joining us after New Years.
But be aware, the sale prices will change after December.

Hope this helps and can't wait to start with you guys!
