Meet me at the Barre

October 28, 2019October 28, 2019Leave a comment

I am so excited to share my feedback from the live workout I completed at our leadership conference

Barre workouts have been one of the hottest fitness trends for years, with devoted fans praising the way they sculpt and tone without lots of impact, while improving posture and flexibility.

The dance-inspired moves are fun yet challenging, and they make you feel just a little more graceful. So what if you could get the best barre workout — taught in real time, just like in a studio — without leaving home?

You’ve been asking for it, and we heard you loud and clear.

We’re excited to announce Barre Blend is coming to Beachbody On Demand this winter!

What Is Barre Blend?

Barre Blend is a new low-impact, high-intensity, and high-energy workout program from our very own barre expert, professional dancer, and 3 Week Yoga Retreat co-creator Elise Joan.

Elise has created the perfect fusion of ballet barre, Pilates, and cardio interval training, designed to help you burn fat and create a lean, toned physique.

The workouts are 30–40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 60 days. Elise leads you through each workout in real time, which makes you feel like you’re in a high-end barre studio with a super-supportive community.

It’s meant to be challenging, but as Elise says, you have to defy your limits if you want to define your body.

To keep you inspired throughout the program, Elise has created Daily Motivation Cards that help you celebrate your achievements and cultivate a positive mindset.

What Kinds of Workouts Are Included in Barre Blend?

Elise takes inspiration from her years as a professional dancer and fitness instructor to design full-body workouts that include high-rep, small-range movements and isometric holds, as well as compound exercises, targeted core work, and dynamic stretches.

Although each class is a total-body workout, Elise adds a special body-part focus each day for extra-targeted toning.

And to make sure you get the best results possible, Elise adds cardio interval training to each workout to keep your heart rate up and help you burn maximum calories and fat.

No Ballet Barre or Dance Experience Is Required

That’s right, you don’t need a ballet barre to do Barre Blend. You can use the back of a strong and secure chair, your couch, a counter, or just about any sturdy household object that’s the right height.

You’ll use light weights and optional Beachbody Resistance Loops to bring the burn while strengthening and toning all over.

And there’s no complicated choreography. Elise has chosen the perfect combination of graceful and effective moves.

Because she’s a master teacher with impeccable form and cueing, she can help you get the lean, strong body you want — plus the confidence to go with it — without worrying about being left behind or left out.

Elise will encourage you to express yourself as you move freely and have FUN!

Who Is Barre Blend for?

Barre Blend is designed for everyone, of all ages and fitness levels. If you’ve never done a barre workout before, or if you’re just starting out, you can follow the modifier who does a slightly easier version of each move.

She adds, “In creating Barre Blend I have seen definition and streamlining in my own body that I forgot was possible! This program will take you to the next level. It will challenge you physically, mentally, and emotionally. And I’m here to help you realize your full potential and live your best life.”

“You will burn. You will sweat. You will smile. So get ready to find your bliss in the burn!”

When Can I Stream Barre Blend?

And just like that my 3rd annual Leadership event came to a close and 5 days later I am still processing all the feels, all the information and all the emotions that come with 5 days in Las Vegas surrounded by the most empowering women, partnered with the most amazing, committed company, with my hubster by my side!

Not just for the wining and dining but the ENTIRE experience.

2018 Vegas Leadership elite night

So…what is LEADERSHIP?

Leadership is an exclusive retreat and training opportunity set aside for only the best of the best. There are specific qualifications which left nearly 120 coaches qualifying the VIP night and a total of 500 qualifying for the remainder of the event – out of a network of over 350,000.

To say I felt “special” is an understatement!

We were spoiled with amazing gifts, Live workouts, sneak peeks into the new programs, elite training, fancy dinners, a photoshoot, and several opportunities to mix and mingle with the celebrity trainers.

But it was more than just the frills and time away with my husband and great friends. There’s a point to it all!!!

Its a REWARD.

A thank you for the hard work!

It was an opportunity to truly LEARN and GROW from the best with the best!

2016-10-20-13-33-06

This was not just average run of the show training – but to sit back and listen from the best of the best, share in the heart and mission from the Corporate leaders and share, learn, absorb and take it back to my team to LEARN and apply as well!

And with each training – each meeting – each talk – each presentation.

We were all taken back to where it started:

The Mission: Help people achieve THEIR goal of living a healthy and fulfilling life

When you break it down to something that simple – you find yourself filled with PRIDE to be connected to such an incredible company with an incredible vision, mission, purpose and BELIEF.

And through it all I’ve been BEYOND BLESSED with the most amazing friendships that have came from it all!

I’ve been blessed with many different travel opportunities with my partner company this year as a coach but this one was special.

It was unique and I felt so empowered to come HOME and TAKE ACTION!

2016-10-23-09-07-53

When we sat in our VIP session and were told: You’re in the top .003% of the COMPANY so many thoughts swirled my head.

Those were the words spoken to me by the CEO of my partner company at the first day of our annual leadership conference and to be honest I still ask myself

2018 Vegas Leadership solo shot

WHY ME?!

Why did I take what was shared with me and RUN with it while others get overwhelmed with the information, with LIFE and just shut down?

How do I use my inner drive and determination to push past the adversity, the remarks from other people, and let that EMPOWER ME to show them WHAT is possible vs. those who let other people’s opinions weigh them down?

What makes me different than the other women out there trying to build their own businesses???⠀

To be honest these questions have swirled in my mind for days but one good friend said it perfectly:

We just don’t EVER give up!

No matter W H A T

When it gets hard,
When life is B U S Y
WHEN SHIZ HAPPENS

WHEN there isn’t an ounce left to pour into someone else…

2018 Vegas Leadership by pool

I find it.
Because this business is a gift, and it’s my obligation and responsibility to keep going:

For my clients, my team, and those watching and waiting for the right time to join.

I simply CANNOT ever GIVE UP.

I’m looking for other women with that STRONG INNER DRIVE to make an income from the impact they make and who are not afraid to WORK HARD through the mountains and valleys to reach their fullest potential.

80 Day Obsession Program details

November 9, 2017November 13, 20174 Comments

If you’ve been following me on social media this week you may have noticed I am doing a sneak peek into a BRAND NEW program coming to homes all over the US, Canada and the UK in January – called 80 Day Obsession.

This program is created by celebrity fitness trainer, Autumn Calabrese, the creator of the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Hammer and Chisel, Country Heat, Portion Fix and more!

The corporate led test group just wrapped up and I can tell you the results are MIND BLOWING!

The program officially launches in January of 2018 but you have the opportunity to participate in TWO sneak peek weeks – where you can get a GLIMPSE into the program with A LITTLE OBSESSED.

You can also get prepped for the program by joining me in a “Prepare to be Obsessed” Facebook Accountability and Support Group.

But before you do that, let’s chat more about what you can expect from this program!

What is 80 Day Obsession?

The 80 Day Obsession workout program is an effective, step-by-step approach to building a shaped, curvy butt while simultaneously shrinking the core. It’s 80 days of obsessive focus on fitness and nutrition spread over 13 weeks.

This is not meant to be a beginner focused program but rather targeted to those who want to take their fitness & nutrition as well as results to the next level!

For the first time, Beachbody On Demand members can experience each day of this program in real time.

Starting January 15th, 2018, each new workout will be posted for you to do along with the cast, so you can experience it as well.

Day by day, you’ll feel like you’re part of the action – following along with Autumn and the cast and they progress through the program.

How long are the workouts?

The workouts are intense and average 45 -60 minutes.

Does the nutrition plan follow the container system?

The nutrition plan does incorporate the portion fix containers but not how they were/are used in other programs. You will be following a professionally calibrated macro-timed-nutrition plan with specific meals/containers/types of foods to eat at each point in the day.

What equipment is required?

Strength Slides, Resistance loops (Available on 12/14) a mat, and a set of light, medium and heavy dumbells

What is the “timed nutrition” program like?

The nutrition plan will follow the portion fix nutrition containers that have been used in other programs like Shift Shop, the 21-Day Fix, Hammer & Chisel, Insanity Max: 30, etc…

But rather than looking at a total allotment for the day you are provided with specific breakdown of what you’re eating and when including specific pre and post workout meals.

You are eating at specific times of the day and you have a pre and post workout meal.

One meal a day can be replaced with Shakeology and use of the Beachbody performance line is highly recommended. The energize is my magic mommy go go juice for my pre workout, the hydrate is during the workout (think benefits of gatorade without the sodium, sugar and artificial flavorings), the recovery is post workout (and the key to being able to get up and crush the next day’s workout) and recharge is what I drink 30 minutes before bed (to help speed up muscle recovery and sleep!) and this combo helps you get the most out of your workouts while optimizing results!

What can you do NOW to prep for the January release?

First off you will have an opportunity to preview the program with: A Little Obsessed:

A Little Obsessed workout program is a 5-day introduction program to prepare people for 80 Day Obsession. These workouts are shorter, easier versions of the 80 Day Obsession program and will include a 5-day meal plan and calendar.

Here are a couple of important dates for A Little Obsessed to keep in mind:

• November 6 – November 10: A Little Obsessed will be available exclusively to Beachbody on Demand members as a live stream event. This means, starting on November 6, each day’s workout will be available for live stream at 9am PST and stay up for 24 hours for only BOD members to try. A total of 5 workouts will be available – one for each day between 11/6 – 11/10.

Due to popularity – A Little Obsessed will repeat the sneak peek the week of 11/14 – 11/18.

• December 20th – January 14, 2018: A Little Obsessed will return to Beachbody On Demand, so everyone can try it out and ramp up for the launch of 80 Day Obsession.

It will be in home page of beachbodyondemand.com, so you can try it FREE, even if you aren’t a member!

Who’s it for?
For anyone who wants to shape their butt AND flatten their ABS and get ready for the new program launch in JANUARY!

Workout length: 30 Minutes

Workout equipment needed: Same as above, Strength Slides, Resistance loops (Available on 12/14) a mat, and a set of light, medium and heavy dumbells

You can also get prepped for the program by joining me in a “Prepare to be Obsessed” Facebook Accountability and Support Group.

How the Shift Shop Meal Plan works

July 23, 2017August 10, 2017Leave a comment

I couldn’t be more EXCITED to officially kick off my Shift Shop LAUNCH PARTY tomorrow!!!

New programs are ALWAYS exciting – and bring new light into my home fitness world and what I can do for others but after participating in the OFFICIAL COACH TEST GROUP this spring and seeing first hand the POSSIBILITIES of this program I have learned we all have so much MORE potential that lies deep within us and when you MAKE THE SHIFT incredible things can happen.

And now – I get to instill that potential and BELIEF into others!

The workouts are amazing and the motivation provided by Chris Downing, the trainer paving the way is unparalleled but honestly – the FUEL we put into our bodies is what DRIVES the results you can see!

BUT – HOW?

How does it work???

HERE’S THE BREAKDOWN:

WEEK 1 Get rid of the foods that are holding you back and start with a better balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats with carbs being at the forefront, mostly from fruits and veggies with a few starches (yams and potatoes) and legumes (beans and peas) thrown in.

WEEK 2 As your body adapts and the workouts increase in length, it’s time to accelerate your results and cut back on the starchy carbs while increasing proteins, veggies, and healthy fats.

WEEK 3 Here is where everything comes together. You are working out at your peak while eating your cleanest. Starchy carbs are eliminated to make way for your best results—and although it’s a challenging week—you can help ward off your cravings with Shakeology, the superfood supplement shake designed to support your nutrition goals without sacrificing results.

I am starting fresh with my challengers along with my husband and here is our game plan for week 1:

HERS:

HIS:

I know the possibilities and I know each and every one of the ladies who have committed with me on this journey have the potential to achieve all the goals they set forth to achieve and its my role to help them get there.

If this looks like a program you may be interested in and you would like to be a part of my next 21 Day Online Health & Fitness Challenge – then fill out the application below.

I truly believe: TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!

How to enjoy vacation without undoing your fitness results

June 6, 2017August 10, 20171 Comment

Hearing the amazing news that I was SELECTED as one of the participants in the SHIFT SHOP TESTGROUP was like a dream come true.

Then I looked at the calendar – Round 1 started with the week of my son’s birthday & Round 2 started with a week long vacation with our friends and family.

I immediately thought of the hurdles but quickly turned it around and imagined:

How good would it feel to not only get AMAZING results leading up to our beach vacation but to actually come home from that trip with those SAME RESULTS!?!?

I don’t know about you but even with a very healthy balanced lifestyle, I will admittedly work *extra* hard leading up to an event and let the food and emotions run wild once the big day/trip comes.

It seems silly – I mean why work so hard to undo it?

How great would it be if you didn’t come home from vacation with guilt and another long(er) road ahead of you?!?!?!

And so…that’s just what I did!

I wrapped up Round 1 of the Shift Shop testgroup nearly 5 pounds lighter and with increased confidence which propelled me into a 2 day travel trip and week long trip at the beach with habits in tact and goals that couldn’t be squashed!

Was I perfect?

Nope! Not at all.

But I stuck to my guns and never felt like I was missing out or “couldn’t” eat what everyone else was eating. I simply ate what my body craved and if I wanted to taste a bite of ice cream or sample the mac and cheese I did – but you know what…I never felt the need for more than a taste!

So how can YOU go on your next vacation or weekend getaway without reversing the work you put in beforehand:

PACK SNACKS for the car. And no I’m not meaning bars and pretzels! My road trip snacks included:
- Cut up apple for easy drive/snacking
- Red peppers
- Over hard eggs
- Roasted veggies
- Shakeology and coconut water filled shaker cup
- Strawberries
- Fruity gum

Allow your friends to know you’re working on becoming a healthier version of YOU and if they’re truly your friends they will support YOU
2 words: SPARKLING WATER
- There were adult beverages going down but you know what – I never had ONE! And I didn’t feel I had to! I sipped a sparkling water of choice and still had a blast at game night, watched the PENS playoff hockey game and lounged by the pool without feeling like I was missing out on the fun! Because I didn’t want it. I didn’t want the extra calories and when you don’t WANT it you don’t feel like you’re MISSING a thing!
Plan to workout daily
- PICK A TIME: While I was initially thinking I would get up at 6 and work it – I didn’t! I talked to my hubs who was cool with us enjoying the morning for as long as it would last until the littles woke up – so we did!!! Some mornings I got them breakfast before I pressed play some mornings he took the reigns. They were up by 7 each day – but I enjoyed the no alarm. But each morning I had some company with me and you know what – I LOVED it!!!

THE POINT: Just make sure you DO IT. Pack weights or a resistance band if you need it or go with a no equipment workout like CORE DE FORCE or PIYO and keep moving!

Grocery shop
- Obviously your storage situations will vary but with our beach trip we were in a house! The kiddos and I stopped at the farmers market on the way down and then hit up the grocery store once we got there. On pizza night I ordered a salad. On Taco Tuesday I whipped up a Taco Salad and splurged on a few chips – key word: FEW. When we did the steamer buckets I fried some eggs and enjoyed leftover veggies!!!
Drink your Shakeology daily

Not only does it help with cravings but its an easy meal to pack and make and can be enjoyed any time of the day! It was breakfast a few times, lunch a few times and even a late night snack one night! This is one meal/snack that feels like a splurge BUT ISN’T so enjoy it when you can!
