Winter-Prep Fitness Challenge

Hello All! Welcome back! 
If you live in Alaska, then you know that winter is not that far off. A few more months and snow will be back on the ground, the sky will stay darker longer, and that cold will chill to the bone. Let's prepare for the winter by teaching our bodies how to create more heat for itself all the time. Many people have heard me say that building muscle burns more calories, even when you are no longer working out... well, in doing so, you body creates more heat internally and externally... keeping you warmer longer! (No, it isnt going to make it to where you dont have to wear that down feather parka. There isnt much that will prevent that at -60.)

The Challenge Group starts September 7th and will end 60 days later. There is a second group, same challenge group and everything, but this is for the "late bloomers". It will start on the 22nd. Here is how it will work.

  1. Sign up for your Team Beachbody Account. Again this is a Free Account.
    1. For Danielle as your coach CLICK HERE.
  2. This Challenge Group is a "Pick-Your-Poison" Group. I will personally be doing Insanity. Order your choice program AS A CHALLENGE PACK. (If you already have Shakeology on HD, then just order the program). 
  3. Make sure to choose your flavor of Shakeology. It is a must for this challenge group!
  4. Fill in your body stats in either your Team Beachbody Account or your 411Fit Account (exclusive to members signed on with Danielle Montoya). Make sure to take before pictures as well. These are a great motivator and actually SHOW you the results from all the work you will be doing!
  5. I will have a PRIVATE group on Facebook (if you don't have Facebook, have no fear, I will also have a group set up on 411Fit for my members). This is where we are going to be posting our motivation and accountability posts. You must check in or your coach will be checking in with you!
  6. From the day you receive your Shakeology, start replacing ONE MEAL a day with it using only WATER and ICE. We will get to the good recipes as soon as you know you are following your meal plans properly!
  7. The day you receive your workout program, watch a couple of the DVDs and even try some of the workouts. This will help you guage how hard you will need to push, and will show you when you need to rest. Remember, "Do your best, forget the rest."
  8. September 7th, the Challenge Group begins. Daily reminders will be posted to do your workout and you need to let us know when you finish them. Remember to drink your Shakeology Every day!
  9. September 22nd, wave 2 will begin. This is for the people who didn't order their programs on time, or who have skipped too many workouts during the first 14 days.
  10. I will also start posting different Shakeology recipes for people to try.
This group is meant to help you achieve your fitness goals. Whatever they may be. If you are trying to loose weight, make sure to drink the Shakeology daily with as little of added ingredients as possible, this will keep the calories lower. Still make sure you are getting the recommended amount of calories and DO NOT GO TOO FAR BELOW THAT! Getting too few calories can cause you to go into "starvation mode" which can cause different health problems

Remember 
good nutrition = weight loss
Exercise = Sculpting/Toning
