90 Days To A Better You!

The new year is rapidly approaching and one of the first resolutions people usually make is to start exercising and eating better. Why wait until you flip the calendar to make this commitment? Why not get a jump start on your dream of losing a few pounds and inches, fitting into a smaller size or just becoming a healthier you? Why not do something to combat the "holiday 10" that so many people gain over the next few weeks?

As some of you already know, the #insanecrew is coming to the end of their Insanity journey. What's next you ask? Well, that would be the "90 Days To A Better You" challenge! Some of us will be doing a P90X/Insanity Hybrid program (the schedule for this is at the bottom of this blog), some will be doing Power 90, and others will just commit to eating better and becoming active in some way for 90 days. I honestly don't care if you do a Beachbody program, just commit to "90 Days To A Better You" - that's all it takes!

We will be starting on Monday, November 29th, so mark your calendars and get ready to Dig Deep and Bring It!

Here are my suggestions of what you should do before starting:

 

  1. Look over your nutrition guides. Figure out your calorie needs and also check out Michi's Ladder on my facebook fan page. Make a list of what you need to get before we start. If you need help with this feel free to contact me. Knowing your caloric needs is important since your metabolism is like a furnace....you need fuel properly to keep the fire going

  2. Take your before photos. I know everyone HATES doing this, but you really should. You don't have to share them with the group but you'll want them so you can see how far you've come at the end of 90 days.

  3. Take your measurements. This is so important! The scale is NOT your friend, toss it out of the window. You will trade fat for muscle and only your measurements will tell the full story. Trust me!

  4. Make a list of what you want to achieve during these 90 days. Break it down to 30, 60 and 90 day goals. Put this list somewhere you can see it so you will stay focused. You may even want to make a goal board for yourself. Take a piece of poster board, cut out pictures of clothing you would like to fit into, the beach, ANYTHING that will motivate you and keep you going. It sounds corny, but it works!

  5. Pace yourself. Rome was not built in a day. If you are new to working out, listen to your body. You do not have to keep up with the people on the DVD's or anyone in this group. You have to go at your own pace, however I want you to challenge yourself. You have to dig deep and leave your comfort zone. It won't always be easy and there may be times when you want to quit but I need you to push through and just do your best.

  6. Stay honest. We all have off days, we all miss days and we all have busy schedules...especially with the holidays coming. It's ok to miss a workout or have a cheat meal, just stay accountable for it! We are all here for each other and I am fulling committing to help you - I just need you to be honest and be committed to yourself!

  7. Log into WOWY. You don't have to do a Beachbody workout to track your measurements and workouts here. If you already have a Beachbody account be sure to log your workouts in daily. You can also track your measurements and results there. If you do not already have an account, you can create one for FREE. (I can coach you if you'd like - contact me before creating an account)


If you're ready to join us in this challenge comment below or contact me directly.


 

Don't become a victim of the holidays and the typical 10 pound weight gain! Decide to change yourself. Commit to this 90 day challenge. Together we can Succeed.
