All Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack Details! Why am I SO EXCITED!?

If you follow me  on Facebook you saw that yesterday was a really exciting day! Team Beachbody launched a brand new option for its customers and coaches called the All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack.

What is a Challenge Pack?!

It wasn't that long ago that DVD/VCR combos and everything was moving in a DVD format. Red Box is still pretty hot to rent videos.

All of the health and fitness programs I use and share with clients comes with:

• Complete Set of DVD's of Selected Fitness Program

• Complete Nutrition Program

• Calendar for order of Workouts

• 30 Days of Shakeology 

• Free Access to the Private Group

• 1:1 Support and guidance from Me as your Coach for your program

• Meal Planning Education, Recipes and shortcuts!

• 30 Days Free Beachbody On Demand

That is what I always LOVED about our programs- they literally come with EVERYTHING you need to be successful AND the individual/group support too! But all from the comfort of your home!

Beachbody On Demand ("BOD")

Beachbody On Demand has changed the game so to speak.  There is literally a library of thousands of dollars in programming you can log into from a device.   Who doesn't STREAM everything to a device or a smart TV with a click of a button BAM you have access to movies, TV shows you name it - Instantly!!

Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, Mirroring, YouTube

These are household names!! Let alone that now its all moving to tablets and smartphones!!

So fumbling with DVD's went OUT a long time ago for me- every program I purchase I stream thru my Apple TV.  I even have a BOD App on my iPhone so if I don't have WiFi I can save up to 4 workouts to my device and do them later!

What is BOD and what can you stream?

Beachbody On Demand is a feature of the Team Beachbody Club that provides unlimited access to stream Beachbody's proven fitness programs. Paid Team Beachbody Club Members will be able to work out anytime, anywhere. Beachbody On Demand includes many of Beachbody's most popular fitness programs in the digital library, making Beachbody programs easy to access anywhere an internet connection is available. (iPad, iPhone, Tablet, etc…)

How will it Work?

Team Beachbody members will automatically have unlimited access to stream workouts from a list of Beachbody's most popular fitness programs. Once logged into TeamBeachbody.com , Club members will select the Start Streaming tab from the home page, choose any fitness program in the streaming library, and stream any workout from the program!

What Fitness Programs are Available?

Immediately upon Beachbody On Demand launch, Club members will have unlimited access to stream many of Beachbody's best sellers . Members will also be able to stream any workouts they purchased.  This special access provides individual sample workouts of some of Beachbody's newest and bestselling programs to give Club members a taste of the program before they decide to buy. The list of titles available to stream in the On Demand or Insider Access catalogues is subject to change at any time. As of launch in March 2015, the following full programs are scheduled to be part of the Beachbody On Demand catalog.

Unlimited Access to the following Beachbody Programs!

P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Ten Minute Trainer, ChaLEAN Extreme, Asylum Vol 1, Tony One-on-One (vol 1) and Hip Hop Abs.

Why should you care?

So why am I telling you this? Well, because times are changing for fitness as well. It is still the same process to getting healthy and feeling your best. You have to put in the work to get the results and there is no quick fix. But, there are now MORE options than ever to have access to the tools that can help you achieve the look and feel that you want!

 Team Beachbody came into my life 3 1/2 years ago with a program called P90X by Tony Horton.  Have you heard of it? It seriously kicked my BUTT and it totally changed my life. Every morning I would go to the bonus room pop in my DVD to my laptop and workout before the kids got up for school and I had to get ready for work. I learned how to eat clean through my coach and our challenge group. I found support in other people/challengers that were struggling to lose weight post while working long hours and raising families too but still needed to find time for themselves. I was forever changed because of the relationships built in that 90 days, my coach and P90X, Clean Eating and Shakeology. I know that the model of Team Beachbody Challenge groups work! I know that it is MY personal accountability and while it might not be everyone’s cup of tea it truly did and still does work for me and my family!

I am thankful that Beachbody is innovate and is constantly thinking about how they can provide the utmost support & accountability to their customers and coaches. I love that Beachbody didn’t dig in their heels and resist the change in times but instead embraced that our world is moving more digital and they have created this incredible Beachbody On Demand platform and all the programs that it includes for us to get results.

The BIG Announcement

So yesterday the CEO of Team Beachbody Carl Daikeler announced a new option for anyone to take advantage of.

 The Annual All-Access Beachbody On Demand Challenge Pack & Membership

Total access to EVERY program available on Beachbody ON Demand, PLUS future releases. ($6,000 in programming people!!)

So that means that every single program Beachbody has ever created from P90X, Turbofire, Insanity, 10 Minute Trainer to new ones like Cize, T25, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Hammer and Chisel, Insanity Max30, 21 Day Fix and Fix Extreme, Core De Force and more are on a digital library you can access plus anything new that Beachbody releases you get INSTANT access at no additional charge for an entire 12 months. That is incredible!!!!

 Starting on December 27th you will be able to purchase either an annual membership or the Annual All Access Beachbody On Demand + Shakeology Challenge Pack. This is an incredible opportunity for me to help you get even better results.

Graphic Pic Monkey

WHY is this so Awesome?

So I’m going to give you my personal opinion on the new feature. I love the All Access Challenge Pack because it gives you:

• 1 Year Membership to Beachbody On Demand (BOD) with all content included, plus future releases.

• Shakeology (choice of 30-day supply on home direct)

• Portion Fix (includes 7 piece portion control container system, eating guide, large blue container and shaker cup)

• Business Starter Kit Waived if you choose the coach enrollment option.

• You get all of this for $199 for the entire year  (12 months) and there is no monthly fee.

The points I listed above is worth thousands of dollars and for 12 months you are getting access to everything that Beachbody has ever created plus anything new through the year. That is awesome but the real reason I am excited is this. You can purchase this pass and together we can choose to start with for example, 21 Day Fix.

Blueprint for Success

So imagine this, you can complete 21 Days of the program, at the end of the 21 days we can have a discussion around what program you are going to do next!! And what a library of choice you will have! You have the personalized support and guidance if you need it not just for your fitness plan but for your nutrition too!

• What your goals are, 

• What you have already accomplished; and 

• How we can help to tweak your plan to get you AMAZING results!!

Maybe after the 21 day fix you decide you want to add in more cardio. We can move over to T25 or Core De Force as the next program. Or let’s say you have an injury that is preventing you rom completing the 21 Day Fix, we can switch programs and move over to the 3 week yoga retreat until you are feeling well enough to go back to your T25 workout. The key here is options that help YOU achieve YOUR goals. We can mix, match, tweak and change your plan so that you do not lose steam, you do not get bored and YOU get the results that you want- THIS is the secret to continued success!

Calendar, Guidance & Support

Each fitness program through BOD has the calendar of workouts and what to do when.  I know I needed that help- what do I do when?

Each program has a nutrition guide you can download, tracking sheets and you have me to help walk you through the program to make sure you are getting the results that you want. This is not about just starting and completing 1 program, it is about moving through each stage of your journey and entering into a lifestyle of proper nutrition and fitness.

I love this option because it gives you flexibility and creativity. But the most important part of this whole thing is the SUPPORT! Sure, anyone can just buy a program but where you see most people getting results is when they have a COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT around them helping them to get results! That is where the magic truly happens! This is what has kept me CONSISTENT for almost 3 years!! Before that - NOPE. Try, try, try, FIAL.

I used to be that girl that went to the gym, that bought the membership on January 1st and VOWED that this year would be the year I would make a change. I truly did have good intentions, but by the end of January I would find myself making excuses, eating ice cream after my workouts and FRUSTRATED with my results. I didn't really KNOW how to eat clean or what that meant let alone that I didn't have to STARVE or eat cardboard to achieve results!! You can bust your butt at the gym if you aren't consistent or know what to eat, it is going to be WASTED time and MONEY for you!!

So this year is your year! If you are like me and you need structure, support, guidance and accountability then Beachbody might be your magic ticket. I enjoyed the gym but HELLO, I didn't have time to go and spend an hour there and commute back! Or I just couldn't make it during posted hours!  I enjoy my own home space, and I like that I can workout when it works for me and around my schedule!!

I am inviting you to #1 take advantage of the All Access Pass and make me your coach! Let me help you set some new goals to achieve your healthy and fulfilling life. Whether you want to be a part of my accountability and support groups or not I am here to help.

I am kicking off my next group called New Year New You Health Bet on January 2nd through the Beachbody Challenge Tracker App. You will set realistic and achievable goals, log your workouts, your nutrition and Shakeology daily through our app based program and I will be there 24/7 to provide support, accountability, guidance, recipes and meal planning to make this a lasting lifestyle change. Does this sound like something you would like to do? Then read HERE for all the details.

New Year Health Bet

The year is coming to a close and the time to dig in and make a real effort to change the state of your health and fitness are coming to light.  

If you're holiday season will be anything like mine there are MANY celebrations! Its so HARD to stay on track with parties and celebrations! Its just a BUSY time of year, and thats a good thing!

As the year winds down and the kids are back to school lets shift the focus back to YOU! 

Maybe its the RIGHT time NOW to spend some time and focus on your goals. But instead of thinking of this as a quick fix- lets see what we can do to create new healthy habits that will STICK this time!

Challenge Group

I have found that being part of an online Challenge Group kept me motivated- I loved the sense of community and the sense of accomplishment by checking in every day and staying accountable.  As well as sharing recipes and whats working-- as well as whats NOT! Sometimes other people in the group were struggling too! I loved that I was not alone- YET I didn't have to trek to a gym. I did my workouts in the comfort of my home, but was able to get one on one support from my Coach and support from my group!

I just don't have time for anything EXTRA I needed to get the information I needed to be successful with my program, learn more about my nutrition plan, get my workout in and move on.  Anyone that is a mom gets that, its total Mom Life 2.0.  Understand what you need and execute!

But its more than that for me because for the first time it WORKED! I was getting my workouts in, I was meal prepping and cooking (this girl did not cook a whole lot prior to this). I was feeling better and looking better.  WIN! WIN!

Health Bet

Now what if I said you could win Money for Working out? Now THAT's Motivation! A CASH pool between $2 to $3 Million Dollars is up for Grabs!

We had a Health Bet earlier this year and it paid out!! So that is why the beginning pot of cash has been DOUBLED right away to 2 Million with a potential up to 3 Million!

Logging your minimum amount of required workouts and Shakeology at least 5 Days a week.  YOU WIN COLD CASH!

Its in the palm of your hand! Once you join the group I'll send you an email with instructions on how to download the app and get started!  Less distractions from other social media platforms.  Its customizable too! If you want the group members to see your posts you can post to the group.  Or just save it for your Coach.  

There is not a day that goes by that most people have a smartphone in their hand, your health and fitness accountability will be there too.  And if you log in and track your workouts for the month, you WIN! Its all in the palm of your hand! So what are you waiting for! This is the Challenge for you! 

The support doesn't stop at the App! You will get INDIVIDUAL support for your meal planning so you understand your program 100% before you break a sweat in your first workout.

12 Days of Christmas: Shakeology Challenge

Sometimes we all need a little “boost” or accountability to fire things back up, right?!? Especially in December when our calendars fill up fast with holiday parties, get togethers, family events and more. It is easy to push your health and your fitness to the back burner and get in the mindset of picking back up in the new year when life slows down. Let’s face it, life really doesn’t ever slow down.

You also might be really interested in trying Shakeology but the commitment or the cost might be holding you back. I totally get it because that was ME. I was nervous to spend the money on a product that I wasn’t sure would work and I didn’t want to be stuck with Shakeology and out the money!

Even though Beachbody gives you a money back guarantee I was hesitant to pull the trigger at first. I am sure you can relate! If that is you and you really want to see if Shakeology can help you with your nutrition, curb your cravings, give you natural energy and boost your immune system then why not give it 12 days plus you get an awesome group to support you and answer questions along the way. What do you think?? I came up with this really awesome way to spice it up and give you a short and sweet 12 day FUN opportunity to make some friends, get accountability in your health and fitness and win some cool prizes for participation. I am hosting a 12 Days of Christmas Shakeology Shake Off December 12th through the 23rd. It is super easy to participate but you have to act fast because there is only a limited number of spots available.

So what is the 12 Days of Christmas Shakeology Shake Off?

Well it is 12 days of Shakeology Recipes, daily accountability, tips to help keep you motivated to make healthier choices through the holidays, ingredient swaps to make your nutrition better, prizes and rewards for checking in and getting a sweat session on and truthfully it is a way to stay accountable without having to break the bank. It is the perfect length of time because it’s before Christmas and it hits those holiday parties and allows you to gain some strategies to handle the temptations and really balance out what you want to eat with what you think isn’t worth the calories. I am going to throw in some cleaned up cocktail recipes, appetizers and desserts as well.

If you are interested in participating here is the steps to join:

Core De Force Review and 30 Day Results

I was not sure what to think of this program at first! I had not done any mixed martial arts EVER and that seemed to be what I was in for.  Other then some Kempo in P90X that's about all the experience I had!

I have to admit I was worried I would become frustrated and not be able follow the moves.  I was so WRONG!! After 30 days I really did transform my body and I felt like every day was a challenge I could meet! I looked forward to the workouts and I knew there was a way to modify the moves so I could make it thru every workout.

I also am not THAT coordinated at all. I had a definite fear that the moves would frustrate me as other programs had in the past. This was different! You can go at your own pace and you can take your time.

WHAT IS CORE DE FORCE?

CORE DE FORCE is an explosive mixed martial arts-inspired total body workout designed by Beachbody Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews to blast fat and carve your waist in just 30 days - with NO equipment. I know I have many clients that travel for work and they still want to get a serious sweat in. That can be hard from a hotel room. But not with this program!

Test group members have commented that they were concerned about losing muscle, or that it would not challenge them. Afterwards they could not believe the transformation. Because its a body weight based workout you not only sweat but you maintain and build lean muscle. You can expect the same results! All while sweating to MMA Style Kick ASS workouts and using basic moves.

If you want to learn more about the details check out my post HERE.

Nutrition

This program comes with a complete nutrition plan based on a very successful portion control system.

With that said you will not receive the containers unless you want them or purchase the Deluxe Kit. The nutrition plan is really 80%of your results but this plan makes it easy to track what you need.

And I say "track what you need" because so many of us do not get enough protein or complex carbohydrates (veggies). So without weighing food it gives you a great visual of how you should eat at each meal. It does so with these great containers. Based on your baseline starting weight you calculate very simply how many containers you get per day of each color.


I share shopping tips and meal plans for the week so every Challenger is set up for success moving into the program. We usually keep it pretty simple to start so you don't get overwhelmed and choose from the approved foods lists, food you enjoy. That is KEY! If you don't enjoy it, you won't stick to it PERIOD.

WHAT YOU CAME FOR: RESULTS

Ron's Results My husband Ron has struggled to complete a program for quite some time. He also has some knee and hip issues. Notably he has had both his knees cleaned up by trimming torn meniscus.

He had some concerns with the idea of an MMA style program since he didn't want to reverse his recovery. He completely enjoyed this program start to finish! OK so "Completely" may be a stretch - the early morning workouts were a challenge for him.  It reminded him of P90X, the moves are basic and he felt like it was great on his knees and hips.  It doubled his flexibility.

Ron gained a solid inch on EACH thigh which was AMAZING!! He has had injury and building muscle with other programs that use weights!!

He had significant muscle GROWTH.  5.5 weight gain, 1.5" gain to his chest and 1" on each thigh and gained 1/4" on each biceps yet LOST 1/2 inch from his waist! Just AWESOME!

Ron felt he was able to gain muscle post his Country Heat Results HERE. He was happy to rip weight off but wanted to build back muscle and he did BOTH here!

Ron reported that hands down, the accountability in the Challenge Group is what kept him going for the 30 days as well as working out with me every morning at 5AM.

 The app would remind him if he didn't get his workout in and he really wanted to check the box every day! Seems so simple. But easy to do is also easy NOT to do too! There were days when posting in the group was the EXTRA motivation he needed!

You can not only see his transformation in the pictures but he also said he felt back on track and a great sense of accomplishment because he completed the program.

The 30 minutes seemed to fly by and he worked up a serious sweat. His FAVORITE meal? The Savory Turkey & Sweet Potato Hash! Eating clean while doing Core de Force doesn't mean eating tasteless boring meals.

It means fueling your body right and staying on track.  The hardest part can be getting all the food in, learning to pack it and not forgetting those snacks.

Ron has to be at work at 7am so this was critical to his success!

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING!

But you can learn it and do it, it makes it easier when you live with your Coach, but even if you don't, there are reasonable ways to make all the programs work for you!

I'm so surprised at my results. Because even though I experienced a weight GAIN that was MUSCLE gain!! My core strength was off the charts and I really did gain flexibility too.  You can see in the photos below that even though I GAINED, I lost inches too and tightened up all around!

Toss the SCALE ladies- it does NOT tell the whole story!

I gained 3.5 lbs-- BUT 3.47 lbs of that was MUSCLE gain!! 1/2 Inch on each biceps - which as been a hard part for me!! I lost 1/2 Inch on each thigh which was AMAZING!  I gained 1/4 Inch on my waist BUT my back?? Totally built muscle and serious core strength!

My clothes fit GREAT - so this is further proof that the scale doesn't tell the whole story at all!! You trade off body mass, losing fat, gaining muscle and never picked up a weight. I also am pretty confident I could stand my ground in a street fight! (LOL j/k) #NotReally

Im beyond excited to see what the next 30 days does- because this has definitely lit a fire in me again- its an awesome challenge! One that I met and exceeded my expectations!

I am so SOLD on this program I'm moving into the second round thru December with the Deluxe calendar! I want to keep going into the next 30 days!

What to Wear?! Why is it so Hard? Holiday Problem #485

We have all been there, and I've been there PLENTY of times.  In the dressing room totally devastated, looking at the clothes and trying to be strategic about what I'm going to wear to showcase my best assets and HIDE all the flaws. 

  
I will say over the years my cousin and I have had a good laugh in some dressing rooms trying to shoe horn ourselves into some fashions and not getting the zipper up.  As hilarious as those sessions were, it sure was nicer when it was 80% of the clothes looked nice and 20% were fun.  But truthfully it was rarely those odds!  I would leave the store and deep down I was feeling disappointed and really upset with myself.  WHY couldn't I get it and figure this out.  Why did  I have to dress to HIDE anything?   I would always find something, but I surely wasn't feeling as FABULOUS as I wanted to.  Many times I just avoided shopping all together because why torture myself like that?

Listen up ladies- these are the straight facts.  And I know it because I lived it and I don't want you to struggle and feel that sinking feeling like I did after my shopping trip. 

FACT #1: Most off the rack clothes won't fit right.  PERIOD This is a fashion truth.  You need to budget for clothes and budget for a good tailor most times to get them to fit your body as they should!  Short, curvy  narrow, wide, we aren't built like a mannequin.  Even with weigh loss, you are CUSTOM baby!!  So don't obsess about the size number.  Just like the scale that can leave you with a false sense of failure.  How does it fit?  How does it look?  Does it fit you well at your widest point?  The rest can be altered!  Before you remove those tags consult with a tailor, you wan to feel your best and if it fits right in the right places, it will show in your attitude!


FACT #2: The Holidays can be the most fun and STRESSFUL time of the year!  all that stress tends to make people indulge more (emotional eating).  From family, financial etc… it is SO hard to find balance this time of year.  It is a vicious cycle, your stressed, you make poor choices, you become more depressed and so on and so on!  The difference is having a plan of how to avoid the cycle so you can enjoy the season!


FACT #3: It's NOT hopeless!  You have time to turn things around and start something positive before New Years resolution time!  You CAN enjoy the Holidays and the parties and stay on track while avoiding a 5-10 lb weight gain!   You can do it in a simplified way with full support!  Let me show you how you can meet your goals.  No it's not going to be overnight but in 30 days, you will be so much closer to your goal and see results where you haven't in years.  I promise you that!  As little as 30 minutes of exercise per day can reduce stress, keep you on track and help you not only breeze through the season, but come out the other end BETTER then when you started!  What a GIFT to give yourself!

YOU are worth the effort.  And sooner than you think, you can walk into that dressing room with confidence and end up pleasantly surprised instead of feeling like a bad joke!

I certainly felt fabulous in this family picture below.  However, I was corseted into that dress and if it had a button and God forbid it popped off, someone might have lost an eye!  

Let me help you!  Message me on how you can join my Fit for the Holidays Group- starting November 28th! You can make it happen, and I'd love to help.

Post Halloween Detox

So did all those Treats get to you?? I know I have little resistance but over the years I have discovered that feeling better beats all the Fun Size candy!

So how do you recover after a night or..... ahem.... WEEK of indulging on Trick or Treat candy??

1. PUT THE CANDY DOWN!

Get that shizz outta yo house! Let the kids pick what they want but either donate or trash it baby! Listen its not doing them any favors either so do what you must to get rid of it.  Hey I know some parents that pay for their kids candy by the pound.  Whatever it takes! I know having it around doesn't help!

2. GUZZLE THE H2O

How do you rid your self of that sugar hangover? Pound the water!! You need to hydrate to fill yourself up and clear your head.  All that fuzzzy headedness comes from the sugar rush and crash.  If you continue your IV drip of sugar your just never gonna get back to normal.

Drink 1/2 your body weight in ouces of water per day minimum.  You'll start to feel more like yourself in no time!

3. SWEAT!

Get moving, walk, do a workout on DVD (hint, hint) you need to get the blood pumping too and get back to a routine or start one to burn off all those extra FUN SIZED calories!! 30 minutes of workouts per day to get that metabolism PUMPING! Are you plugged into any challenge groups for the month? Getting up and crushing my workout every day keeps me ON TRACK! If you need help email me! dfnettleton@gmail.com

4. EAT! 

Yep, eat.  6 small thoughtful meals per day! You need quality, dense whole food nutrition.  What the heck is that? Start with an apple! Yep, an apple! Something with nutrient value and how about some nuts.  Toss a salad in there if your gonna get crazy, but it should be colorful.  And not M&M colorful, fruits and veggie colorful.  Basically get back to eating regular small meals to level out that blood sugar and you wont CRAVE sugar as much!

5. Refresh!

Sometimes those Sugar cravings are just too hard to put Pandora back in the box! So a quick 3 Day Refresh may be what you need to CRUSH those cravings and get back on track fast!!

So now is your time to shine! Take control of your health and fitness now and imagine where you can be in just 30 days or 60 days! There is time to really turn things around before the holiday gets in full swing! Honestly, I always say that this time year it’s not about depriving yourself of everything you enjoy but it’s about living a balanced life! 80-20 rule is how we spend the holiday season!

Thanks for hanging with me today on the blog! Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!
