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!

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!! 

My Next Journey

Today started the first next of the next challenge I have given myself. I let myself go over the holidays and put back on an extra few pounds. However, worse than the extra pounds are the feelings that came back with them - not sleeping well, lack of energy, acid reflux, and stress just to name a few. It is amazing how quick those things come back when you fall off track and go back to eating sugar and processed foods. 

I decided that in order to make a big change I needed to really push myself. I made the decision to take on 60 days of Insanity:Max 30. The original Insanity has always made me nervous. I have a mental block when it comes to it for some reason. I decided that I needed to push past that fear and take this one head on. My husband and I are going to be doing the program together which will be awesome for the extra support and accountability.

Today was Day 1 of the program. I had taken this past weekend to start preparing myself mentally. I sat down and wrote out my meal plan and wrote down all of my reasons why I decided on this program and what I was hoping to get out of it. 

I took my Energy and Endurance pre-workout, grabbed my bucket (just in case - better safe than sorry!) and headed to the basement. I maxed out in 2:07. Yes - you read that right - 2 minutes and 7 seconds. Having no issues getting through 60 mins of other cardio workouts this kind of made me disappointed. I took my quick break and wrote my time down and got right back into the workout. I was able to finish the entire 30 minutes using a mixture with the modifier. At the end of Cardio Challenge today the only word that could come to mind was "humbling". 

I was disappointed in my max out time at first but I am in competition with nobody else. Just me vs. me. I will do my best in each workout and push myself each day. Each week I will try to beat my previous week max out time - even if by only 30 seconds. I am excited to see what changes (mentally and physically) this program is going to bring for me. 

I sometimes get caught up on how far I still have to go instead of remembering where I have come from. I am so much stronger than I used to be. I went from being crippled by severe depression to gaining 60 lbs to where I am today. Each day I try to be a little better than the day before. I will update my journey as I go through these 60 days. Stay tuned for more!

Here is to the next 60 days!

Fall Into Fitness Test Group

Ever since I returned from vacation I have not been following my workout/nutrition programs like I should be. I have gained weight again, have started feeling sluggish and have no motivation. When I find this happening I go "back to basics". 

The 21 Day Fix was the EASIEST program to follow that I have ever done. In order to get myself back on track I am going back to the 21 Day Fix. I am looking for people who are ready to make a change in their life and learn how to eat healthy and still enjoy food. I am looking for SERIOUS people who are ready to make some SERIOUS changes. I have a private Facebook group where we will go through the entire program together!

Are you a busy mom? Student? Just one of those people who feel like they don't have time for fitness and are lost when it comes to nutrition? If one of these categories fits you read on and let me know if you want to join my private group!

What if I told you I could help you find a SIMPLIFIED plan to help YOU with your nutrition?

What if I told you there was a way to manage your workouts in a timely manner?

What if I told you that legit results ARE possible (as a jump start to your life)?

What if I told you that you do NOT have to starve yourself and that you can still enjoy your favorite treats WITHOUT guilt?

Let's face it people, nutrition is SO hard, it's THE hardest part for 95% of people when wanting to achieve results. I am human, I struggle. BUT there is a SOLUTION that is FAIL PROOF! I've done a lot of fitness programs, a ton of challenges and I, myself, have tried a ton of nutrition plans; but NEVER in my life have I seen something so SIMPLE and SO REAL and EASY to do.

So take the guess work out of counting calories, forget being mad because you drank a glass of wine, BECAUSE you CAN fit it into this plan! I know, right? 

Let me simplify it for you -
There's no counting, no guessing, and no wondering. Just easy-to-follow portion control and one 30-minute workout per day. That's all.

Ok so this post is long enough but I have NEVER in my 4 years as a coach seen such results in such a short amount of time.

AND IT'S ON SALE THIS MONTH! #hereisyoursign

I'm currently taking applicants! VERY limited slots. If you want to transform, quit waiting around and JUST DO IT! Message me or EMAIL me to see if this challenge would be right for you! In the subject line put "I AM READY TO MAKE A CHANGE!"

**must NOT be working with a current Beachbody coach and you must NOT be a coach yourself**

I look forward to working with YOU and seeing YOU transform!!!

Here are my results in just 21 Days!
