Hammer And Chisel

Hammer and Chisel

Hey there!!  I'm excited to share with you what hammer and Chisel is all about and if it might be the right fit for this coming December 2nd.

Most love 21 Day Fix’s Autumn Calabrese and Body Beast’s Sagi Kalev. What if they teamed up on a workout program together?
Announcing The Master Hammer & Chisel a 60-day program that will help you craft a defined, visually-dramatic physique.  Both award-winning fitness competitors — joined forces to create this one-of-a-kind workout that will sculpt you from head-to-toe.

I just completed my first sneak peak workout in this program.  My ARMS and LEGS are shaking!!  It was sooo refreshing to have a killer workout in 35 minutes.  For the past month I've been dong insanity and most workouts range from 45 to 60 minutes.  I still burned 450 calories in this 35 minute workout.

What makes The Master's Hammer and Chisel so effective?

Sagi and Autumn have spent decades acquiring the tools, skills, and experience needed to transform your body—and they're going to help you do it in just 30-40 minutes per day. So what's their secret?
It's all in their approach. You won't simply bust out some curls or perform mindless repetitions. With The Master's Hammer and Chisel you'll use what the experts call SSP Training, for Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Incorporate one or two of these phases into your workout routine and you might see decent results. But combine all three phases—the way Sagi and Autumn do in The Master's Hammer and Chisel—and this comprehensive resistance-training method will relentlessly chip away fat, carve powerful muscle, and refine every inch of your body for results that are a true work of art.


My first workout with beachbody was with a program called Chalene Extreme and I LOVED it!!  Two years ago I was introduced to my very first online accountability group as well between weight training and focus on nutrition I finally felt like I was able to be the best mom I could be.  With three little ones its super important that I pay it forward and show others what they too can achieve.

My Why

 

So often it's easier to let others in your life be an excuse
I don't have the time
I would love to but I don't have the money
You know my kids just don't sleep well at night
The list starts there and for that reason things remain the same....
Rather what has worked well personally is letting my kids be my why.
If I would like Josie to grow up and respect her body it starts with me.
I'm not working out to look good in a bikini To go on vacation or to run a marathon next month I'm just simply leading by example.

 

Results?

My progress with clean eating

My progress with clean eating

Ahhhh when I woke up this morning it hit me it’s been 6 weeks since I took my first set of before pictures with a newborn baby beside me.  A little bit about myself this will actually be my second transformation with clean eating, working out, accountability from online challenge groups, and drinking shakeology every day.  After I had our second child about two years ago I could not lose the baby weight, I was working out like crazy and the weight was not going anywhere.  So let’s just say taking these before pictures this time around was not as nerve racking to think about failing at this.  I knew going into this 6 weeks ago I would not be perfect with eating, I would not be able to work out till this past week, I would be tired, but staying the same was not an option.  I told myself I would not be hard on myself I tend to want to give everything I do my best and like most when it comes to weight loss I want it to happen yesterday.  Day one last Monday of working out!! 

 

I made a choice to take measurements, before pictures, and only weight myself once a week.  Two weeks ago I stepped on the scale like most feeling good about the choices I made in the last seven days only to find I lost ONE lbs.!!  However in the same day my pants kept falling down!!  I measure progress in many forms.  So what other ways do I measure progress and teach my clients to do the same.  This is a great visual to keep in mind as your on your own journey, if you know your eating healthy and putting the time into exercising muscle takes up way less space than fat.  So ladies PLEASE use the scale as only one form of measuring your own journey.

 

 

 

 1. Sleeping so much better

2. Able to stick to 5:00am workouts the last week

3. My skin overall looks more clear just with eating better

4. I feel happier over all because as a mom I’m carving out time every day for myself

5. I have soooo much more energy even with a newborn
 

 

So inches lost total in 5 weeks of clean eating one week of doing a workout called the 21 day fix.

10 inches lost total!! 

5 inches from the waist

2 inches from the chest

3 inches from the hips

My legs and arms have stayed the same in the last 6 weeks

Oh the scale says I’ve lost 9 lbs. in 6 weeks (but like I said that’s at the bottom of my list on how I measure progress)

Here are by progress pictures as well

 

 I always say a picture says everything!!  I might have complained to my husband this week about being sore, waking up first thing in the morning might have been hard, focusing on what I was eating and planning ahead was not convenient, however today seeing these pictures makes it all worth it.  Being able to have confidence as a mom, energy to keep up with the kids, knowing I’m investing in my own health, makes it all worth it. I wanted to real quick share my pictures 15 weeks post having baby #2 keep in mind I was breastfeeding as well (like I am now), I was dead tired, working out for about 6 weeks burning 500 calories a day, and nothing was happening this is way I'm so passionate about helping others that feel stuck on their weight loss journey. 

 

 Yes it cost money to get started and feel this way but in my eyes it’s an investment we tent to invest in our homes, cars, kids, family, etc. but will find every excuse why we can’t invest in our own health.   What I know to be true as a coach for the past 18 months is it’s not about the money it’s the reason behind putting up a wall and not trying something new.  Are you afraid of failing? Are you afraid of drinking shakeology?   Are you afraid of the changes that will have to take place?  Are you afraid of what the heck clean eating is?  Guess what I know how you feel I felt the same way.  Fear has a way in our lives of holding us back from our full potential.  I ask you today to put fear aside and take a chance on yourself.  I’m personally going to be starting with a workout program called Insanity Max 30 and I would love to chat with you on what would be the right fit for you.  My goal as a coach is to listen to where you’re at and help you reach your personal goals.  I look forward to getting fit with you.  My next online accountability group start April 6^th the Monday after Easter and I have a spot saved for you.  Fill out this application and let’s chat.

April 6th Accountability group

Accountability group

Just this week my mom ask what our family was planning for Easter Sunday and where we would be eating lunch.  In my mind I thought Easter was at least a month away!!  To my surprise the Easter candy is EVERYWHERE!!  Even I caved yesterday and enjoyed those yellow little guys…….

Has the Easter candy started to take over the home?  In your mind have you already checked out and plan on starting up again after Easter in preparation for warmer summer weather?  Its crazy how you feel the first time you put on shorts for the season.  My goal as a coach is to help others feel their personal best slipping into spring and summer clothes.  Trust me before you know it the swimsuits will be out and the kids will want to be heading to the pool.  Summer vacations will follow as well, I personally just gave birth to our 3^rd child and will not only be the coach in the group but a challenger as well.  I will be doing the program Insanity Max 30 for the next 60 days.  Seeing pictures like this reminds me I don't want to be wearing extra layers 60 days from now, I want to be shopping for a cute new outfit.   

 

What do I do as a beachbody coach and what is a challenge group?

So the challenge group is 30 day group.  It's all done through a closed online Facebook support group.  So only the members of the group can see what is being posted.  I’m super excited to be putting a twist on what we do with in the challenge groups.  All new contented!!

You'll be added to our VIP Facebook group where only the members of the group can see what is being posted. You'll be expected to check in daily with your workout and nutrition so we can make sure you're staying on track. There will be an awesome nutrition plan included with your fitness program. We start together and we end together. No one quits. First we’ll work on flushing all those negative thoughts swirling in the back of your mind that are keeping you stuck. If you believe you will succeed, you will.

 

What I do is help you customize your health and fitness goals to meet your needs. Then I help you choose the best Beachbody workout to get there based on your ability level. Then you replace 1 meal a day with shakeology for the challenge group to give your body 1 meal that is supercharged with ingredients that will give you natural energy, cravings will be curbed, you will stay full for at least 3 hours.  This is NOT a protein shake, most of us are not protein deficient rather we lack great nutrition no matter how clean we eat our food has changed.  This meal replacement is so easy.  It is a whole food and you can think of it as "dry juicing".  I get all of my vitamins and it is the equivalent of 5 plates of a very healthy salad.  But all for just 160 calories! Then, I am going to teach you how to plan the other meals of the day. I will help you create a customized meal plan, give you recipes, snack ideas, tips, motivation and keep you accountable. Every day I post in the challenge group your daily mind set tip or post. You check in and rate your date and read what is posted. We all keep each other accountable!

 I am going to address the emotional eating, eating out at restaurants, how to handle the temptations, cheat meals, body image and more!

A quote that sticks out to me as I pulled myself out of bed this morning at 5:00am is- it takes change to see change

If every spring time you tell yourself this is the summer I’m going to look and feel great in my suit instead of wearing a cover up there will be steps needed in order to reach those goals.  Think of it like this you already know the results and outcome of doing what you’re doing.  Trying something new can be downright scary!!  But I invite you to take a chance on yourself

I love to chat and learn more about your personal goals- with the first two that commit to the April 6^th challenge group you will be sent one of these SUPER cute water bottles as a FREE gift ( love giving gifts)
