10 Rounds - COMING SOON!







I am BEYOND excited that this program is about to drop!


 Boxing is one of the fitness world's best kept secrets. Stepping into a boxing gym with no prior experience can be really intimidating! 

Now you can train in the comfort of your own home! 


Here are the basics of the program: 

  • 6 week program
  • 5 workouts a week: 3 boxing days/2 lifting days 
  • Boxing workouts are broken up into 10 rounds that are 3 minutes each - focusing on punching combinations and footwork that progress throughout the 6 weeks 
  • Workouts will range from 30-40 minutes 

Joel will teach you how every move actually begins at your feet, moves up through your hips, uses your core, and explodes all the way through your fists. With every punch you use your entire body- scorching calories and toning. This program is built around the simple and precise movements of boxing- without the impact! You won’t be using a sparring partner or hitting a heavy bag- instead you will train the way real boxers do- with shadowboxing!


The 3 boxing days are combined with conditioning drills that help build:
  • Power
  • Speed/Agility
  • Endurance
The 2 days of weight lifting workouts include: 
  • Upper Body (to build strength/power)
  • Lower Body/Legs ( since every punch starts at the feet)
And of course, there is awesome music in every workout to help keep you moving and give you the energy to keep going! 


MEET THE TRAINER! WHO IS JOEL FREEMAN?



Joel is one of my FAVORITE Beachbody super trainer- he is SO nice and the energy that he brings is next level! From Core de Force to LIIFT4, I have been doing Joel programs for years now!

Joel has been in the industry for over 15 years as a trainer, manager of a gym and program creator. He has a passion for teaching that really helps you master proper form in his programs- ensuring amazing results. He loves to combine cardio and strength and is just so motivating!







When can I get started?

March 9- Sample Workout Available


March 16- 10 Rounds Available for Coaches / VIP Customers


April 6- 10 Rounds Available for Customers



What equipment is required? 

  • Light, medium, and heavy weights for the lifting portion

If you are not a dancer - DON'T WORRY! I am not either! Every step is broken down step-by-step. Each step will be built on top of each other until you are able to rock the entire sequence! You will be ready to "Cize It Up" before you know it!

Healthy Peanut Butter Cups


I am walking through my living room and out of the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of a commercial on tv. BOOM. There it is. A yummy Reece's Peanut Butter cup... and what are they doing? Making the suggestion you put the chocolate goodness in the refrigerator. HOW did they know? That is one of my FAVORITE treats for myself. I am weird like that. I like almost all of my treats cold. Peanut butter cups, cake, brownies, etc. The colder the better.

Now the dilemma. I have this HUGE craving for a peanut butter cup and none in sight. Well played commercial you have done your job.  I don't keep things like that in the house for moments just like this. If I had a package of those I would have devoured the entire package before the next commercial came on. Then it hit me. I have all of the ingredients to make some! Even better, they are going to be healthy! WIN WIN!

Within 45 minutes I have a delicious snack that kept me on track and not feeling like this...


So if you have these 3 ingredients and a little bit of extra time you can whip up this quick dessert and not have to worry about the feeling of regret afterwards!

Ingredients

8 tbsp. Vegan Chocolate Shakeology, divided (you can use regular but the texture may be a little different)
4 tbsp. Coconut Oil (divided)
4 tsp. Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (divided)


First, take 2 tbsp of coconut oil and melt it in a small bowl (about 30 seconds in the microwave). Once melted, add 4 tbsp of Shakeology and mix well. Divide the mixture evenly into the bottom of your mini muffin tin or the mini papers (shown below). Put in freezer for 5 mins.

Remove from freezer and add 1/2 tsp of creamy natural peanut butter to the top of each cup.


In your small bowl heat the other 2 tbsp of coconut oil in the microwave. Add the other 4 tbsp of Chocolate Shakeology and mix well. Divide evenly and pour over the top of the peanut butter and chocolate you have already in the cups.



Put them back in the freezer for another 30 mins. Remove after 30 mins and ENJOY!

Are You Ready?


Are you ready to take your fitness to the next level? TOMORROW is the BIG DAY!! 



Last February Autumn Calabrese launched the 21 Day Fix. This program was (and still is) proving to be a GAME CHANGER for so many men and women. I know I always struggled with the nutrition part of any fitness program I did. Let's face it - the nutrition part is THE most important part of the entire program! 

21 Day Fix comes with color coded containers that teach you how to portion out your food so you can still enjoy your favorite things. It also comes with awesome 30 minute butt kicking workouts that are great for anyone who has a busy schedule. I know as a busy mom with a full time job it is exactly what I need! 

Launching tomorrow - February 2nd is the follow up to the amazing 21 Day Fix - 21 Day Fix Extreme! This program will be for anyone who has a base fitness level - modifiers are also on each workout so don't worry if you need to modify. The nutrition portion is more strict than the original 21 Day Fix (no swaps/treats) so you can see just how far you can push and transform your body in 21 Days. 

I will be running private groups for both 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme. If you are ready to push yourself and see just what you are capable of send me an email and we can talk about your goals and decide which program will be best suited for you. 


EMAIL ME to get on the list and be part of my exclusive test group. Limited spaces available. The first 5 people ot purchase will receive an extra bag of freebies and be put in a drawing to win a FREE 3 Day Refresh Kit. Contact me to get your spot reserved!!
