Hammer & Chisel FAQ

Leave a comment

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this new program and what type of equipment is required and how it compares to other programs and what type of equipment you’ll need etc..

 

SO…I decided to compile all my answers to these questions in one place for YOU…so YOU can decide whether or not you are ready to join my exclusive TEST GROUP!

Hammer and chisel FAQ.jpg

1. For starters: What is The Master’s Hammer and Chisel?

It is a resistance-training system that includes all three phases of muscle sculpting—known as SSP Training— to rapidly build, chisel, and refine a masterpiece physique in just 60 days.

  • Sculpt your ultimate physique with 12 brand-new workouts that incorporate the three phases of SSP Training— Stabilization, Strength, and Power—that are essential to building a powerful, perfectly defined body.
  • A comprehensive program from seasoned trainers and award-winning fitness competitors, Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese.
  • Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment.
  • Includes a modifier who demonstrates some moves at a lower intensity.
  • Fuel your body for demanding workouts and achieve your best results with a straightforward portion-control nutrition plan that you can customize to meet your goals—whether you want to lean out, sculpt and maintain what you’ve got, or build muscle.

2.  What’s included in The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Base Kit?

  • 12 workouts on 6 DVDs
  • A set of 7 portion-control containers and a shaker cup
  • The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Program and Nutrition Guide
  • Quick-Start Guide
  • 60-Day Calendar
  • 2 bonus workouts: 10 Min Ab Hammer and 10 Min Ab Chisel

H&C base kit

3. How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel differ from Body Beast?

  • Body Beast is a bodybuilding program that focuses on muscular hypertrophy. The Master’s Hammer and Chisel includes aspects of bodybuilding, but also focuses on improving endurance, power, agility, strength, balance, and range of motion to sculpt a tight, defined physique.

4. How does the Master’s Hammer and Chisel differ from 21 Day Fix EXTREME

  • 21 Day Fix EXTREME is a shorter, goal-specific program, whereas The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is a full 60-day program with slightly longer workouts. 21 Day Fix EXTREME focuses on getting you shredded, while The Master’s Hammer and Chisel also helps you improve other aspects of your fitness, such as muscular endurance, power, strength, and agility. It’s a whole new approach to getting you ripped.

5. What equipment do you need for The Master’s Hammer & Chisel

  • A few dumbbells of various weights appropriate to your strength and fitness level.
  • A bench OR stability ball.
  • A chin-up bar OR a resistance band and a door attachment.

6. How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan compare to Body Beast, 21 Day Fix®, and 21 Day Fix EXTREME

Want to get hammered and chiseled

Like the nutrition plans in 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix EXTREME, The Master’s Hammer and Chisel uses the portion- control container system.

However, it is tailored to meet your specific goals and the nutritional demands that a challenging body-sculpting program like The Master’s Hammer and Chisel requires.

7. Can you customize The Master’s Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan to meet your unique goals?

Yes! If you want to gear your nutrition toward building more muscle (a surplus), or toward shredding fat (a deficit), you can use the Nutrition Plan Quiz to recalculate your calories to help you reach your goals.

8. How do the calorie charts for The Master’s Hammer and Chisel work

The Nutrition Plan Quiz included in the program and nutrition guide will determine your appropriate calorie chart based on your goals. Like the calorie breakdowns in 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix EXTREME, the ones in The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Program and Nutrition Guide also include the number of color-coded, portion-control containers your bracket requires each day to meet your goals.

9. How does the 60-day calendar work? 

The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program is a 60-day rotation of hardcore strength training built on the three phases of SSP Training—Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Sagi and Autumn strategically structured these workouts to train in all three phases efficiently, so following the calendar is important.

10. How does the Beachbody Performance line fit in to the program? 

performance line

Because these workouts are so demanding, we highly recommend you consider adding Beachbody Performance supplements to your regimen to help support your energy, muscle-building, and recovery. I already use the Energize daily and will be adding in the Recovery to help with my muscle recovery! My husband has committed to using the entire line!

(Instructions for incorporating Beachbody Performance into your nutrition regimen are included in The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Program and Nutrition Guide.)

11. Is there a Team Beachbody exclusive if customers order The Master’s Hammer and Chisel through ME?

Hammer and chisel bonus DVD.png

Yes! Customers who purchase The Master’s Hammer and Chisel through ME will get a FREE bonus workout—The Master’s Cardio (a $19.95 value)!

BENEFITS OF TRACKING YOUR FOOD, CONSUMING TOO MANY LIQUID CALORIES, HOW TO SHOP SMART IN THE GROCERY STORE, LACK OF PREPARATION, NEVER GIVE UP TOO SOON, NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER, NOT EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN, TIPS TO DRINK MORE WATER, TIPS TO MEAL PLAN, TOP REASONS WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING RESULTS WITH YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS GOALS

Why you aren’t seeing results

Leave a comment

Have you found yourself on a downward spiral ever since the warmer weather faded and the sweatshirts and comfy sweaters and jeans and boots came back into the rotation and oh, the holiday season kick off!!! Forget the pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving – I couldn’t stop with the darn cookies!!!

Anyway…if this sounds like you – let’s chat – because I was so riding that train and I am ready to say goodbye to those ways and help you do the same!

I was doing some research on the top reasons why people aren’t reaching their health and fitness goals and I wanted to share with you all what I came up with and some tips I am applying NOW to overcome them!

why you aren't seeing results.jpg

  1. Lack of preparation: I’m sure you heard the saying but failure to prepare is like planning to fail. I used the whole “I’m busy” excuse and started lacking on my food prep and as a result my choices suffered, my dinner prep each night became more lengthy and it was added stress. Welcome back meal prep MONDAY!

TIP: MAKE A PLAN! Even if its just for your dinners or just for breakfasts or lunches – MAKE A PLAN and then a grocery list, go shopping, prep things out and take action! We all start somewhere!insanity max 30 week 6 - meal prep monday peppers

2. Not drinking enough water: You should aim to drink AT LEAST 1/2 of your body weight in water. For example if you weigh 150 pounds you should drink at least 75 ounces.

Read on for some TIPS to drinking more water! 

Day 6 Clean Eating-Why Water

3. Not eating enough protein: The key is balance – you need balance in your nutrition and you need lean proteins! Here are some examples of things you may not initially think of when you think of traditional protein foods like chicken and fish but they’re great sources and help rebuild your muscles!

Tip: Try to have  source of protein with at least 4 of your meals in a day. Including this will help keep your metabolism going AND keep you fuller – longer!

Day 20 Clean Eating-High Protein Foods

4. Consuming too many liquid calories – Ok – this is pretty much self explanatory but the only “liquid” calories I will consume are within my superfood meal replacement Shakeology! And to be honest – I typically blend it like ice cream and eat it with a spoon so I don’t exactly consider that dense nutrition as “liquid calories” but nonetheless this is a place where you can really rack up the calories!

TIP: Try something all natural like La Croix flavored sparkling water if you like the FIZZ without all the chemicals! I can find it at my local grocery store, occasionally at Aldi and always at Target!

Day 27 Clean Eating-Water or Soda

5. Not enough sleep – Now I know all you mamas out there know this all too well but sometimes it takes a little reiteration for it all to come to surface!

2015-09-02 06.06.55

When we sleep – our bodies recover, we grow, we get ready for the day ahead. Not enough sleep will leave your metabolism slower, your mood dampened and your results….stagnant! While we all vary on the amount “needed” you should aim to get between 6.5 and 8 hours/night. My hubs has been my biggest fan here and practically pulls me into bed by 11:00 each night. It can be hard to shut it down but let’s be real – more sleep always equates to more energy – its the easiest equation to master.

TIP: DON’T SNOOZE! Set your alarm for the true time you need to be up and get solid, meaningful sleep!!! And yes, I need to take my own advice!!!

6. Shopping the center aisles – How do you pick the right food and healthy food?!?

2014-08-24 07.42.58First and foremost, by making a grocery list prior to going is going to not only make it easier on you, but save you money!!  Next, look at you different food groups and pick out healthy foods/snacks that you have on your meal plan that you wrote out while in that planning stage mentioned above. I make my list by food groups (its easier in the store also when you’re searching). So veggies/fruits- they are all together, so pick your fresh and frozen, of course, skip through canned (full of sodium and chemicals), then add in your LEAN proteins, dairy and before you know it you just walked the perimteter of the store! You will likely head to the center to grab some carbs – just make sure you are reading the labels and picking 100% whole grains – NON-GMO!! Whether it is bread, wraps, crackers, flour.  You want the complex, unrefined carbs where they have not been altered!!   Brown rice and oatmeal are other goodies that will help you along the way!!

Tip- Do most of your shopping on the outside of the store! That is where you will find your most natural and healthy food!

7. Skipping Breakfast – Think of your metabolism like starting your internal fire…the food you fuel your body with is going to get it all started  and its going to start with BREAKFAST but you have to continue all day long.

Tip – Prepare your breakfasts foods in advance. I do a quadruple recipe of my MANCAKES twice a week so they’re always ready to grab and go. EGG CUPS are a weekly staple and OVERNIGHT OATS are perfect for something filling, balanced, and ready to eat on the go! Of course there’s always shakeology – which is my no fail – never miss – breakfast necessity!

2015-02-07 11.22.14

8. Not tracking your food – It may seem like a daunting task but tracking your food can tell you so much about what you’re really eating. MyFitnessPal is one of the best apps on your phone to help you keep track of everything!! Its easy to use, convenient, an ALWAYS with you!!! Sometimes we snack and snack until we do not realize the extra calories we are adding that we do not need!! This will really help you target where you should be calorie wise with daily intake!!

If you have not used it, I recommend at least trying it for a week and see if it helps!!!

9. Lack of Variety in your workouts – Sticking to the same routine can be very convenient, but at some point, this routine may not give you any results, so you need to shake things up. Changing the workout routine can be a motivator and may make things more interesting for you. I love how the 21-day fix gives you 7 different workouts for each day of the week and a few alternatives to add to the mix but even after a few rounds of that I need to switch things up! The reason for this is simple…with the repetition of the same type of workout, your body will get used to the exercise routine and will consume less energy. If you change up the exercise routine, your body will be continually challenged and it will burn more calories, resulting in a more successful weight loss. You can read more about WAYS AND WHEN TO SWITCH UP YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE HERE. 

10. Giving up too soon – Ever reach a goal and think “Man, I was just about to give up then…” – here’s the thing. Success really is like an iceberg. There is a LOT of “stuff” that goes on behind the scenes or under the surface that you can’t see. But if you can be persistent – realize YES you will fail – make a few sacrifices and make that dedication to your goals – you will get there…but you cannot give up!

success is an iceberg

 

I hope you found these tips helpful and motivating in the end help you reach your goals!

family circle join me

Ok I need to get real, open, and honest for a minute – so please hear me out:

This past week I received a weekly paycheck equivalent to my PRIOR audit manager – semi-MONTHLY salary.

And it really just made me THINK…

It made me think of a lot of things, reflect, fill myself with gratitude and truly realize what a blessing it was the day I decided to take the road less traveled and become my own BOSS!

You see, through this whole thought process, I was reminded of the Christmas right after we became a family of four. Earlier that year we made the decision that I would leave my full time career to be a full time stay at home mom. And while hard to admit – I had a hard time finding the blessings…the combo of sleepless nights, little adult interaction and a shrinking savings left me STRESSED on a regular basis let alone the additional expenses of the holidays.

I wanted to do the things I used to do and give to those causes I used to give to but I couldn’t. We simply couldn’t. We kept the holidays small and I felt like I was going backwards in life.

Fast forward 2 years and 18 months into my business and I have been able to build more than a full time income working part time hours from my home – in the early morning hours before my kids woke up and late at night after they went to bed…and the consistency paid off, the results compounded and now I am living my life by DESIGN as a result of the work I have put it day after day and week after week and month after month!!!

Coaching is not all about the money for me, but I would be lying if I said it didn’t help ease the stresses and allow us to live the life we dream of. A life where I am able to help support my family while still raising my kiddos. I believe I have the best of both worlds and I want others to know and realize they can do this too!

I know sometimes its inevitable that you will need to get a part time job through the holidays but that doesn’t mean you have to leave your home!!
Yesterday I got an email from Kohls stating that they were now “hiring holiday help”
I walked into Target and saw the sign – NOW HIRING!
I read a stat that 1 in 5 people plan to get a 2nd job to afford the holidays and after polling 2,200 people, 45% of them said they would struggle to afford gifts this year.
While the Holidays are supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year I know first hand that they can cause a LOT of STRESS!!!

And I have decided that this year I want to help others benefit from this amazing opportunity that my family has been blessed with!

Cash for Christmas dark edges

I am looking for 5 people who would like to earn some Cash For Christmas!

Mamas who – 

*are driven

*want to inspire

*are coachable

*are READY to do more!!

There isn’t day that goes by that I don’t thank God for the opportunity I was given!

November – New Month – New Goals

Leave a comment
I hope you had a great Halloween weekend filled will a few treats and not too many tricks!!! I’ll admit – we had a great weekend but now  its time to rid the house of all this JUNK and get my game face on.
My family is kicking off our 3rd annual SWITCH WITCH game – have you ever heard of it?
This is basically a way to help you – and your kiddos – toss the stash of Halloween candy built up from the trick or treating weekend! You can donate your candy or take it to work with you  but the point is…you get it out of the house! 
We have been talking about this with our kiddos for a few days an we will let them pick out a few favorites then the bowl goes on the fireplace before bedtime and a gift arrives in the morning. Its fun and while the event of going trick or treating was a blast for us all – they don’t need the candy and neither do I!!! 
I don’t know about you – but candy just isn’t the same as it used to be! I will be the first to say I enjoyed a Reese Cup or two and a mini twix and oh my that take 5 bar was da’bomb! But as soon as I finish always find myself in that sugar high then CRASH!
Can you relate?
You get the rush but then you’re left with bloat and that sluggish feeling!
I am raising my hand for a little bit of all of the above which is why I am super excited for my first group of the month –  
What can you expect?
Optional 3-day cleanse to get started -OR- end the challenge
Daily inspiration and motivation
Easy weeknight meal plan ideas
Healthy twists on holiday favorites
Travel tips
Dining Out Best practices
***BONUS***
For the first 5 to COMMIT by WEDNESDAY the 4th – I will toss in a 4 day Shakeology Sampler (both VEGAN & REGULAR AVAILABLE)
Why the GIVEAWA? To be honest – this little meal replacement has given me more than I could have ever imagined – more energy to play with my kids, a more regular digestive system helping me to toss my Chrons disease meds and overall a HEALTHIER life – and I want YOU to experience some of these same benefits!
But there will only be 5 samplers available so first come – first serve!!
In addition to the CANDY DETOX accountability group, I will also be kicking off a similar format post-Thanksgiving. This group will begin on November 30th (and I will kick off with a 3-day refresh) and is designed to help you gear up for that LITTLE BLACK DRESS Holiday season…you still have plenty of time to end the year STRONG and kick off 2016 as a more confident YOU! – MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW!!!
And of course we have a few PROMOTIONS that will help you get there:
I am so excited to share that the promotion for the 21-day fix and 21-day fix extreme challenge packs (both available as a kickstart with the 3-day refresh as well) have been EXTENDED in preparation for December’s release of Hammer & Chisel.

I am excited to announce a *bonus* challenge group coming up –

CANDY DETOX & HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GROUP!!!

Candy Detox

I get it – its Holiday season and some of you may be thinking – WHY NOW?

But I’m asking you – WHY NOT?

We will begin with an (optional) 3-day cleanse as we prep the group and dive into 21 days leading us up to Turkey Day – take a short break – then jump right back in for a second round December 2nd leading us up until CHRISTMAS…yes crazy to think – but the holidays are upon us!!!

Join us for a place to share ideas, recipes, and hold one another accountable through the busy holiday season so we don’t end up feeling like a stuffed turkey!

3 weeks of accountability

If you join our November 2nd group that leaves you with 9 weeks left of 2015. 9…at a very healthy, sustainable weightloss rate you you could lose 9 pounds (at 1 lb a week) or 18 pounds (at 2 pounds per week) or heck 27 pounds (at 3 pounds per week) all before the end 2015?

So my question to you is WHY NOT NOW?

I am only taking 10 people for this one. It will fill fast.

Crockpot & Clean Pot Roast

—> How many of you are used to dumping a can of condensed cream of whatever soup onto a roast in the slow cooker?
—> Or maybe you do the can of coke so it is super tender and juicy?!
Don’t get me wrong – those taste great…amazing in fact…but they’re SO BAD FOR YOU! STOP!

Cooking a delicious, melt in your mouth roast is more about the cut of meat you choose rather than the stuff you put on top!
I only eat red meat in moderation…but if I’m going to do it, I”m going to make sure its worth it!
I recommend choosing fresh cut (I prefer a sirloin tip roast) and add flavor the NATURAL way! Yes I’m talking about some fresh cracked black pepper, a few gloves of garlic, a sliced onion, some himalayan sea salt and about 1/4 cup of water to make it STEAM!
You can add in whatever veggies your family likes – such as carrots, mushrooms and even some little red potatoes for a complete meal in one crockPOT. Easy prep, easy clean up and virtually NO effort on your part!!!
Cook it on LOW for about 8/9 hours and wahlaa! A delicious roast – without all the added “stuff” and just as delicious as grandma used to cook on Sundays!
Trust me – just try it for yourself to see!
If you are wanting to get more tips, healthy recipes, support and accountability to help you achieve your fitness goals, please fill out my application for a spot in my next 30 day clean eating and fitness challenge!!

What Kind of Bars can you have on the 21-day fix?

3 Comments

I never used to be a procrastinator but I swear the older I get the more squirrelly I become!

During my race against the clock to pack for a 5-day trip to Texas for my family of four within a 2 hour a time frame I managed to do about 34,539 things that didTravel snacks - bars on the 21 day fixn’t NEED done but I decided to do anyway all the while forgetting my apple and peppers in the fridge with the munchkins yogurts 😡

Luckily I keep these little gems in the diaper bag! I def don’t encourage “bars” on a daily basis but if you’re going to grab and go these are the THREE that I recommend…all ordered from Amazon Prime and delivered right to my door🙌

1. That’s IT Bar: These are my new found “can’t leave home without it” snack! I stumbled across these on my way home from SUMMIT in Nashville while waiting for my Green Tea at Starbucks. The name caught my eye and when I flipped it over I saw that the ingredients were simply fruit – THAT’S IT!

I snagged a few from Starbucks before I realized I could order through AMAZON and get them right to my door! The Apple and Strawberry is definitely my favorite (reminds me of a fruit roll up!!!) and the Apple and pear is a close second!
For my 21 Day Fix Friends – I count these as one purple – racking up 100 calories, 4 grams of dietary fiber and about 17 grams of natural sugars. 
2. KIND BARS: I caught a Q&A from Autumn on this topic and ever since I have kept this stashed in my diaper bag! Kind bars are primarily nuts. Don’t get me wrong there are some wild and crazy varieties out there with a lot more in them but if you watch the labels you can get a pretty natural nut bar in the KIND variety! I also order these from Amazon or grab them when I head to SAMs on a stock up trip!
For my 21-Day Fix Friends – I count these as 1 BLUE and 1 tsp – coming in around 200 calories and 17g of (healthy) fats. 
3. Quest Bars: I’d say these are the least “clean” of the 3 but also my favorite as I find them the most filing.
For my 21-Day Fix Friends – I count these as 1 red and 1 yellow…although I def. don’t recommend these when “strictly” following the fix as they do not have the equivalent nutritional value as a lean meat (red) or healthy grain (yellows) – would. They range 160-200 calories with about 8-12 g of fat yet virtually ZERO sugar! 
Caramel Vanilla shakeoOf course I ALWAYS keep a Shakeo packet always within reach….this is the most clean and natural way to squeeze in a snack on the run – especially when those unexpected hunger growls start! I prefer to make it blended but I’ll be honest…give me a shaker cup and some water and I’m good to go! Cures my cravings, fills my tummy and fuels my body for the day ahead!
Do you want to try Shakeology??? 

You can get your own 30 day supply HERE or even start with the FLAVOR SAMPLER PACK TO FIGURE WHAT WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE!
