How I got started on my fitness journey

MY STORY

WHY I SAID YES TO PRIORITIZING MY HEALTH:

I get so many questions about how I got started on my fitness journey! I wanted to share it here so you can have it to read and save it for later when you need motivation. 

In February 2014 I found myself asking for prayers as we were rushed to Children’s Hospital holding tightly to VERY sick little boy.

My infant’s deteriorating health was dismissed as “a bad cold” before we got in to see HIS doctor who quickly sent us by ambulance to Children’s to get the best care.

We received his diagnosis: Pneomonia, double ear infection, bronchiolitis, and very high fevers. 

We spent two tiring nights there and while my little man attempted to get comfortable and rest I simply watched him. 

Sleep just wasn’t happening for me and eventually when he settled I grabbed the phone for a mindless midnight scroll. 

And there it was…

👉Amazing side by side from someone I didn’t even know

👉Shared by an old college friend

👉New program launch coming soon

👉Lose up to 15 pounds

👉Drink a superfood shake

👉Join a group

And, well my SCROLL – STOPPED ✋️✋️✋️

Something HIT ME. I saw the importance of GOOD HEALTH.

Colton, my son was 8.5 months old & I was still holding on to a few post baby pounds but more than anything I was EXHAUSTED 24/7 and at that moment I decided to stop wishing and start working.

It was JUST a virtual fitness group with a bunch of strangers at the time but what I learned in that group became a pivotal point in my life!!

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

So I went all in!

9 years ago I stood in my bedroom and handed my hubs my iPhone 4 to fulfill my coach’s request to submit my “goodbye” pics to gain access into her 21 day virtual BOOTCAMP….

That was me gearing up for my first online accountability group…and this is me NOW…

Ok to be honest this picture on the left was me on the second attempt.

The first set of pics I deleted…but my coach INSISTED I submit them, so I retook them the night before we started…

I had no idea what to expect.

Heck the term “challenge” group intimidated me enough as it was…

Those seemingly small containers scared me…

I thought weights would make me bulky…

And I had no desire to open up to a group filled with a bunch of “strangers”…

And I most definitely was not interested in posting anything on social or publicly for anyone to see 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

All I knew at that time was that I was tired of being tired. 

I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin and I was DETERMINED to set the example I wanted my growing kids to follow!

Gosh I was NOT going to quit on myself, not this time. 

My babies needed their mama at her best, and I needed to make some C H A N G E S

I was R E A D Y to make the sacrifices.

I had NO IDEA then where I would wind up today…

But I do know that the very first step I took towards joining that group was the one door that opened up all the other possibilities! 

During those first few days I was a fly on the wall in the group! I didn’t post anything, I didn’t ask anything and I quietly just tried to figure it all out. It was a change and it was hard. But on the 10th day, Fat Tuesday, I went off the walls. We had lunch at a Pizza Hut buffet and I ate all the things. All the pizza, all the breadsticks and all the dessert and I felt AWFUL. LITERALLY – not because I felt like I was cheating but my digestion was awful, I was bloated, and so uncomfortable and I thought to myself “why am I beating myself up with these workouts and investing this time and money into new habits if I’m going to undo the hard work”

And that’s the day it all shifted.

On the 11th day I posted to the group for the first time. I shared my failure and I shared what I was going to do the next day to make myself FEEL my best. I didn’t know anyone in the group but somehow that public proclamation was all I needed to stay on track, eat the food that fueled me, and continue through the program.

By the end of that 21 days I didn’t have to be asked for my Day 21 pictures. I was proudly setting up that iphone timer and sending them back over to my coach with pride.

Not because I was perfect the remaining 10 days but because I was showing up as my best self and gosh it FELT really amazing.

I finally felt like ME again for the first time – post entering motherhood – and I LIKED IT!


I got my confidence back.

My husband got his wife back

My kids got the energetic mama they deserved

And I knew this was something other women NEEDED and so I did the only thing that made sense…I BEGAN TO SHARE as I kicked off my own business as a BODi partner!

VIRTUAL BOOTCAMP SQUAD

Like I shared above, the only thing that made sense to me at the end of those first 21 days was so SHARE – because I knew in my heart there had to be another mama, another “MAEGAN” out there who had felt the way I was feeling before and deserved to feel the way I was feeling NOW – and I firmly believe if you are STILL here – reading this and you want to make a change too!

Let’s link arms and do this together! We truly are STRONGER TOGETHER!

I can’t promise that making changes will be easy but I can promise that investing in yourself is one investment that is always worth making!

I will provide you with my tools, resources and best of all SUPPORT to not only help you get started but reach your goals and keep on going through the good, the bad and everything in between! CLICK THE LINK BELOW to get started together!

The 21 Day Fix BODi Block is coming soon!

If you’re a fan of Autumn’s 21 Day Fix programs, you’re going to love what is coming in April 2023!

Are you new to Autumn’s workouts?

Well, we guarantee you’ll love her 21 Day Fix Super Block too! Keep reading to learn more.

So What Is a Super Block?

By now you’ve probably heard of BODi Blocks — 4 new programs that start on the first Monday of every month.

Each Block features 5 workouts a week for 3 weeks, followed by an “UP Week” (which stands for “Unconditional Progress”) to reset and recover.

A Super Block is when one of the BODi Super Trainers remake one of their most popular programs in the BODi Block format.

This is your chance to revisit your favorite programs — like 21 Day Fix or T25 — with new workouts, new playlists set to popular music, and an entirely new experience.

It’s all about giving you more of what you love, plus a little push to get you where you want to go.

Why are Blocks such a breakthrough?

They’re based on block periodization, a proven approach to exercise and recovery that challenges you without overtraining.

It’s all about helping you create consistency with your Health Esteem routine.

Your life is busy. Pretending you’re going to work out every day and never eat a cookie is silly.

So, we’re ditching the perfection mindset and bringing you new programs every month that you can actually stick to because they work with real life. Really.

Super Block April Spotlight: 21 Day Fix with Autumn Calabrese

What Is the 21 Day Fix Super Block?

It’s everything you love about 21 Day Fix — now in a Super Block!

Super Trainer Autumn Calabrese has remade her megahit program using the proven block periodization structure, with new moves and popular music.

How Is It Different From Other 21 Day Fix Programs?

The workouts are similar to 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Real Time. The moves are new, but the structure repeats over 3 weeks so you know what to expect.

She’s designed it so you’ll make progress each week as you gain confidence, push harder, increase your weights, and get stronger day by day.

What Kind of Workouts Can I Expect?

You’ll work your body from head to toe in this Super Block.

Autumn is bringing back your favorite 21 Day Fix — you’ll get your heart pumping with two days of cardio-focused workouts and help sculpt your muscles with 3 days of strength-focused training.

Autumn also created an optional 5er Ab Fix workout that you can do twice a week for an added burn, plus 3 bonus Cycle Fix workouts you can swap in on cardio days, or whenever you want an extra workout.

What Kind of Equipment Do I Need?

You’ll need light, medium, and heavy dumbbells. A mat is optional.

How Do I Know if 21 Day Fix Is Right for Me?

If you’ve worked out with Autumn before, you know that she’s going to bring the heat — and the fun.

She’s dialed in the right combo of resistance training and cardio and added her signature motivation and tough love to push you to reach your goals, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve worked out for years.

Don’t worry if you’ve never done a workout with Autumn.

She makes sure this Super Block will work for you. Every workout has a modifier, so no matter your fitness level you can follow along and feel great.

How Does Healthy Eating Fit Into This Super Block?

The perfect pairing for the 21 Day Fix Super Block is Autumn’s Portion Fix eating plan.

She makes it simple to eat all your favorite foods in the portions that work for you, and you get plenty of delicious recipes so you’ll love every bite.

The color-coded containers take all the guesswork out of eating, and you won’t be asked to count calories or cut out food groups.

21 Day Fix starts April 3, exclusively on BODi.

Brownie Batter Protein Bowls

Dessert for breakfast anyone? (pup not included)

I won’t lie, I love my sweets, I love chocolate and I love to EAT!


But I also understand that food is fuel, too much sugar is detrimental to my physical and mental health AND all food should actually TASTE good not just be good for you!

I’ve also learned the older I get the more important adequate protein is for my body on my quest to age gracefully!!!


Enter: MY DAILY BROWNIE BATTER PROTEIN BOWL

I’ve been enjoying these bowls for over 6 months now and its the most requested recipe on my social media and I am finally responding and putting it together for you!

What you need:

1️⃣1 scoop nutrient dense superfoods (I went with chocolate but honestly any flavor will do)
2️⃣1 scoop post workout recover protein (again…🍫🍫🍫)
3️⃣1 tbs-ish of your favorite nut butter (currently obsessed with costco mixed seed nut butter)
4️⃣ Collagen
5️⃣ Almond milk (or your favorite milk)

Optional: chia seeds, flax seeds, granola, berries and/or bananas and other toppings

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Here’s where it gets tricky – you need to add enough milk to make it the consistency of batter. I don’t measure 😜 just don’t over do it or you’ll be eating chocolate soup 😜 I’ve never actually measured it but you’ll get the picture once you start mixing it up!

Simply top with your favorite granola or fresh fruit and thank me later 💋💋💋

If you’re interested in getting started on your own wellness routine and want to lean in to the power of ACCOUNTABILITY simply fill out this form for consideration in my upcoming virtual Bootcamp squad!

Cardio Meets Strength with a side of dance with XB Sweat + Sculpt!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the effectiveness of fitness over the last (almost) decade, it’s that the most effective workouts should also be the most fun!

When its FUN its something you LOOK FORWARD to doing – when you LOOK FORWARD to doing it you stay CONSISTENT and when you stay CONSISTENT you get RESULTS!!

If making fitness fun + effective is your jam, you’re going to LOVE Andrea’s infectious energy with XB Sweat + Sculpt, the NEW high-energy program that puts the fun back in your fitness.

This 3-week program includes 15 real-time workouts that are the perfect combination of easy-to-follow cardio-dance and targeted sculpting.

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Sweat and Sculpt, Andrea Rogers, XB, XB programs, New XB program, XB sweat and sculpt, XB fitness, Andrea Rogers workouts
They’re driven by Andrea’s upbeat, mood-boosting playlists that get you moving from the very first minute, so working out doesn’t feel like work.

No fancy equipment (or rhythm) required.

Just show up, groove out, and Andrea will help you sweat it out and sculpt it strong 5 days a week, for just 30 minutes a day! 

What Are The XB Sweat + Sculpt Workouts Like?
Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Sweat and Sculpt, Andrea Rogers, XB, XB programs, New XB program, XB sweat and sculpt, XB fitness, Andrea Rogers workouts, low impact workouts
First, there are Andrea’s exhilarating Sweat workouts.
Think low-impact HIIT, but with her unique twist.

These workouts alternate between cardio-dance intervals that are packed with fun and simple steps to get your heart rate up and keep you moving, and sculpting intervals that focus on slower, more controlled muscle-defining exercises.
As soon as the first beat drops, you’ll be smiling, slaying calories, and absolutely loving it!

Next, Andrea balances out all that cardio with her Sculpt workouts.

Each of these focuses on your upper, lower, or total body with challenging moves that target specific muscle groups to help you strengthen from head to toe.

You’ll finish each Sculpt session with a 5-10 minute circuit that zeroes in on your core to help you define your abdominals and obliques for the ultimate full-body burn!

For days when you’re short on time, Andrea created five XB Sweat + Sculpt Express Workouts that clock in at just 10-15 minutes each.

Plus, if you have BODi, you can access Andrea’s three XB Sweat  + Sculpt Rides, which combine bike-based cardio with her signature sculpting moves.

Do I Need Dance Experience For XB Sweat + Sculpt?

Nope! XB Sweat + Sculpt is an all-level workout that’s great for dancers and non-dancers alike.
Andrea even created a “Sweat 101” video that gives you a quick rundown of the basics.
But don’t worry — the moves are truly second-nature. No complicated choreo here.
From the moment you hit play, you’ll find your groove. The endorphins (and results) will follow!

What Equipment Do I Need For XB Sweat + Sculpt?

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Sweat and Sculpt, Andrea Rogers, XB, XB programs, New XB program, XB sweat and sculpt, XB fitness, Andrea Rogers workouts, low impact workouts
You don’t need equipment for the cardio-dance intervals — just your body!
However, Andrea recommends using ankle weights and Resistance Loops for the sculpting work you’ll do throughout the program.


Feel free to use either a 2-pound or 3-pound set of ankle weights if you have them. And Andrea recommends the Green Resistance Loops.

There’s an equipment-free modifier in every workout, and you can also drop equipment during the workout if you need to decrease intensity, but using the ankle weights and Resistance Loops will help deliver deeper, more transformative muscle activation.

I’ve done Andrea’s Xtend Barre programs. How is XB Sweat + Sculpt Different?

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Sweat and Sculpt, Andrea Rogers, XB, XB programs, New XB program, XB sweat and sculpt, XB fitness, Andrea Rogers workouts, low impact workouts
As a former professional dancer, Andrea knows how important cardio is for your stamina and overall health.
But you’ll never catch her on a treadmill. That’s why she created XB Sweat + Sculpt — to put her fresh spin on the traditional cardio workout.
It’s the first cardio-dance program in her Xtend Barre series.
While her other programs focus more on Pilates and barre moves,  XB Sweat + Sculpt cranks up the energy, the sweat, and the fun.

Once the music starts, it’s 30 minutes of constant, full-body movement that helps boost your metabolism, up your endurance, and define your entire body.

How Does Nutrition Fit Into XB Sweat + Sculpt?
Andrea knows just how important nutrition is to a healthy lifestyle. She relies on three key supplements to help her feel and function her best.
First, there’s Shakeology. If you’re looking for an easy, nutrient-filled staple to help you start the day on a healthy note, Shakeology is key.
This delicious superfood nutrition shake is carefully formulated to help support healthy energy, digestion, and lean muscle development — all good things when you’re embracing healthier habits.*
Next, there’s Energize. This pre-workout formula helps sharpen your focus and has been clinically shown to help improve exercise performance.
This is a great way for you to get ready to tackle every workout and help you push through to the end.*
Finally, there’s Beachbody Collagen Boost.
Formulated with optimized collagen peptides, its key ingredients help increase skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles to help you glow from the inside out!*
XB Sweat + Sculpt also includes two exclusive 2B Mindset and Portion Fix meal plans created especially for the program. They’ll help you start eating healthy with Andrea on Day One.

Who Is Andrea Rogers?
Andrea Rogers is a Pilates instructor, former professional dancer, and mother of two based in Dallas, Texas.
A powerhouse of positivity and a master motivator, she created Xtend Barre to combine her two passions — movement and teaching.
What began as a single fitness studio in Florida has since expanded to digital fitness programs and over 40 studios worldwide, all packed with students seeking effective, mood-boosting sculpting workouts that leave them feeling lean, strong, and confident!
In addition to her international barre brand, Andrea specializes in private personal training for select celebrity clients.

When does XB Sweat + Sculpt launch?


The program launches October 4th, 2022 — and I will be hosting an exclusive group for all my customers and coaches to be a part of the fun!!!

Peaches & Berry Mancake Bake

I started making mancake bakes when I FIRST started my health and wellness journey back in 2014 but it wasn’t until I did a gut health reset in March of 2022 that I brought them back in the regular meal plan rotation and they haven’t left since.

They’re a perfect combination of carbohydrates, protein, fruit, veggies and DELICIOUSNESS!

5 months of new varieties, repeating the favorites and trying new things!

I can honestly tell you I do not get tired of this breakfast and I hope you find it just as satisfying!

This is the recipe for my most recent bake:
PEACHES, STRAWBERRIES & ZUCCHINI MANCAKE BAKE

but at the end of this post I’ll share some switch ups.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 2 cups egg whites
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats (could use quick oats or any oats but I prefer the Sprouted Rolled Oats by One Degree organic foods)
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into chunks
  • 2-2.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1.5 cups peaches, diced
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Blend egg whites, oats, bananas, zucchini, cinnamon and vanilla
  • Pour into lined 9×13 pan
  • Add peaches evenly throughout the pan
  • Add sliced strawberries evenly throughout the pan
  • Bake 45-50 minutes until cooked thoroughly and sides begin to pull away from sides

Slice into 4 equal servings and store in fridge in an airtight container

Serve warm and top with nut butter and/or granola or serve cold and enjoy on the go!
For my portion fix friends: 1 red, 1/2 green, 1 purple, 1 yellow

Enjoy with First Thing for a full serving of greens to start your day!

This recipe is gut protocol friendly and extremely filling!

Other varieties:

  • Swap carrots for the zucchini
  • Add eggs for additional protein
  • Do 1/2 pound carrots and 1/2 zucchini
  • Use blueberries or raspberries instead of peaches
  • Leave out the berries all together
  • Top with peanut butter, mixed nut butter, honey or pure maple syrup!
  • Swap the berries for chocolate chips
  • Switch up the recipe to make it fit your nutrition needs, desires and goals!

Here are two reels on IG showing you how to put it all together each recipe slightly different as I tweak and learn along the way!!!

This is the 1st time Beachbody has released this limited-edition seasonal flavor and I guarantee… it will be GONE in no time!
Unlike the peppermint mocha calorie bomb you grab going through the drive-thru, you know these superfoods deliver premium protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – as well as phytonutrients, adaptogens, pre- and probiotics, and digestive enzymes.
EXTRA BONUS: It’s Vegan too! #HeckYes
And with some trial and error I have discovered my FAVORITE combo:
WHAT YOU NEED:

-1 packet Peppermint Mocha Shakeology

-2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
-1 tsp honey
-1 cup almond milk or coconut water
-8-10 ice cubes
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Add all ingredients to blender. Cover and blend until smooth.
(pro tip: Blend for 15-20 seconds. Stop it, let the ice cubes sink to the bottom, blend again. This ensures extra smooth consistency!!!)
Portion Fix containers: 1 red, 1 tsp

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?

2019-10-19 07.31.45-1

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.

2019-10-19 07.15.05

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.

2019-10-19 07.53.54-1

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!”
