I?ve?had a number of inquiries about the Challenge Pack promotion currently offered?by Beachbody, so I thought I?d let you know what it?s all about.??I am so excited to have so many people interested in making a?change!? I have 4 people confirmed?and others who have expressed interest.

It is so important, especially as we head into the most tempting and dangerous time?of the year with holidays approaching, to start focusing on our health. ?Won’t it be easier to NOT gain weight?over the holidays and have to make New Year?s resolutions just to take it all?off AGAIN??!! Ok so here are the details so far:

What?is this all about?

It?s?a comprehensive approach to losing weight, getting in shape and achieving your?goals. The focus is on nutrition, support and fitness. ?This?challenge is about making some life changes to keep you feeling good forever,?not about a diet. ?It involves?drinking Shakeology once a day, doing a Beachbody workout DVD, logging onto and?using the Beachbody website to log your workouts and utilizing Facebook (private?group for participants) to hold each other accountable.

If you are not familiar with Shakeology?or the Beachbody site, check out my links below. The Beachbody website has a ton?of information on meal planning, recipe ideas, workout ideas, support etc.
Depending on your fitness level or how much you want to challenge yourself, I?will be offering 2 options -?Slim in?6, a 6 week program which is a more beginner/intermediate level program and?a 12 weekP90X?program which is?more appropriate for moderate to extreme level people. ?Although?any level can participate as there are modifications for the?workouts.

Tools?needed:

You?ll?be able to purchase the challenge packs from my Beachbody website.??The purchase cost is $160 for?Slim in 6?and $205 for?P90X?system. ?This is a?$55 savings?over individually purchasing the three components.??The packs include a month?s supply of Shakeology, the workout DVD and a?30 day membership to the online resource. ?These packs are not only discounted in?price, but also come with free shipping. ?Depending on which program you choose,?everyone will be doing the same workout DVD on the same day. If you decide on?doing the 6 week program, you will need to be on Shakeology for 6 weeks at least?and the same for P90X, 3 months on the shake.? I?m happy to explain more if you commit
to the challenge.

Support:
I will be setting up a private Facebook for you all to use. ?The?best way to ensure success is accountability.? I will ask that you each log in at?least once a day to post how you are doing on our private Facebook page. ?I would also hope that you will reach?out to your other group members via the page in order to provide support to each?other. ?Support and accountability?are key in goal setting.? You can?use the Facebook page to ask questions about your workouts, eating etc. ?As we get up and running I will also ask?that you post your goals and your stats on the page. ?Take?your measurements before so that you have a baseline and if you?re comfortable?doing so – share them. ?This holds?you accountable to yourself and to the group. ?This isn’t about judging here, it?s?about making some changes for yourself and your life. ?We?are all in this together.

Time?commitment:

Commitment? #1:
Get your workout in EVERY day. You do get a rest day based on the program?schedule. ?Trust me, as you start?to workout regularly, you will find that you have more energy, you’ll lose?weight and just feel better about what you are doing. ?It?gets addictive when you see the changes happening!

The?workouts range from 30-45 minutes for the most part. P90X workouts average about?55 min/day. Log your workout on the Beachbody site. You just might win some cash?and prizes for doing so!

Commitment? #2:
Drink Shakeology EVERY day. ?If you?haven’t read about this awesome nutritional drink, please check out?my?Shakeology?page under Services.? My husband and I have been?drinking it since June and have both lost weight and feel so much healthier.??It’s an awesome nutritional drink?that will help curb your cravings and eat less. It is supported by the American?Diabetes Association and has over 70 ingredients in it. ?For?those of you that aren’t sure of the taste, let’s talk about some different?recipes you can try. The way I blend it makes me feel like I am having a Frosty?from Wendy?s everyday!

Commitment? #3:
Provide support to each other in the group. ?Log into our Facebook page every day and?tell us how your day is going, how your workouts are, how eating is going etc.?Step outside your comfort zone and share your goals and stats with the?group.

Commitment? #4:
Commit to the full 45 or 90 day challenge and utilize the eating/food?information that comes with your workout DVD. Again, this depends on the workout?program you decide to use, but all programs have great nutritional?information.

I?have a group starting the Monday after Thanksgiving, 11/28 and another is?scheduled for ?Monday, 12/5.? Won?t you join?us?

I?m?also happy to offer a start date that works for you if you and 4 friends want?your own group.? Let me know if you?are ready to get signed up! ?We can?place your order via my site as soon as you?re ready to go!

This?is my commitment to you – I am going to be here for you, to help you through it,?guide and motivate you. I am giving you my time at no cost. Sure you buy the?program and have a great shake to drink but the support for myself and the?others in our group will be what will make you Push Play Every?Day!

I look forward to hearing from you! Let me know if you have any more?questions!
