  2. Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Hammer and Chisel

Hammer and Chisel

Hey there!!  Welcome to my blog and I can't wait to share with you the details on Hammer and Chisel.  I personally started my fitness journey 2.5 years ago with a strength training program and the difference I saw mentally and physically was amazing.  As a mom at that time with two little one, not enough sleep in a day, I finally realized in order to give the best to my kids carving out time for fitness and good nutrition every day was a turning point.



About the trainers!! 
Co-creators Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese are experts when it comes to incredible physical transformations. Sagi has been crowned Mr. Israel— twice—and is a Master Professional Personal Trainer, IFBB Pro, member of the IFBB Propta Hall of Fame, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist. Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity trainer, best-selling author, and working mom who has held certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA), and has competed at the national level in various bikini competitions.

This is a first for beachbody to have two trainers in one program




Is this just another workout that will sit on the shelf?

• The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is built on the three phases of SSP Training— Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Other workouts only focus on one or two phases, which might give you decent results. But The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program incorporates all three methods to help you relentlessly chip away fat and carve every muscle for a strong, visually stunning body in 60 days.

• 12 brand-new, 30- to 40-minute workouts that combine Sagi and Autumn’s proven techniques for 60 days of hardcore resistance training.

• Sagi and Autumn make eating for your goals simple. That’s why they included their easy-to-follow and completely customizable nutrition plan, along with 7 portion-control containers that show you how to portion out the right amount of food to help you reach your unique fitness goals.

• Flexible nutrition that allows you to lean out, sculpt and maintain, or build muscle.

• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment. BONUS!

• Includes a modifier who demonstrates some moves at a lower intensity.


What will I need to be able to do the program?

Emma participated the test group for The Master's Hammer and Chisel and had great results! In 60 days, she lost over 14 inches! Her advice for starting this program? "This program is going to challenge you in a way you've never been challenged before. You CAN do this but you need to follow the program all the way. This isn't a half-ass workout. Be prepared to LEARN, to be CHALLENGED, and to see crazy results!"
