Challenge Groups

What is a Challenge Group?

My Beachbody fitness journey began with choosing a workout program (21 Day Fix) and Shakeology flavor (Multi Pack).  Then, I purchased a Challenge Pack and was added to a private Facebook Group by my coach. This private FB group is called a Challenge Group and was one of the keys to making daily workouts and weekly meal plans a regular routine and lifestyle.  

 The Challenge Group provides support, motivation and encouragement to help achieve health and fitness goals.  It provides advice and support focusing on health eating, time management, and organization to people who commit to starting and finishing a Beachbody workout. 

These groups are the best way to learn about yourself and provide daily accountability and motivation.  Each participate purchases a Beachbody fitness program and commits to replacing a daily meal or snack with Shakeology.  In return the coach or coaches hosting the group provides tips and guidance with meal planning, grocery lists, workout schedules and staying on target to reach health and fitness goals!  

The small group environments really work! In the first challenge group I participated in I learned to develop a routine for daily workouts and weekly meal planning.  I replaced my sugary breakfast cereal with a bottle of Shakeology and gain extra energy. I checked in daily on the private Facebook group and posted the previous days ranking (good or bad) and encouraged others during their up and down days.  I was introduced to an accountability partner and we still text each morning at 5am to push each other to get out of bed.  I received support from others in the Facebook group and enjoyed seeing the "like" and comments on my daily posts. 

 How does a Challenge Group work?
The 1st week of the Challenge Group is the "Prep Week."  There are posts about goal setting, taking measurement and pictures, meal planning, food prepping and creating workout schedules.  Questions can be asked under the posts in "comments" or by creating a new post.  

 During week 2, challengers begin their fitness journey by following their meal plan and workout schedule.  Daily posts continue with motivational quotes, tips for sticking to the meal plan, ways to organize time to keep the workout schedule and lots of other valuable information.  Challengers will post daily their "rank" on how they did with following their meal plan and eating healthy, completing the daily workout and drinking Shakeology daily.

 Week 3 and 4 are similar to week 2 but with new posts, pictures and videos.  At the end of week 4 everyone will share their results and have the opportunity to join a new challenge group.

 How much time does a Challenge Group take?
When you participate in a Challenge Group, you will be completing a daily 30-45 minute workout.  Then you will post your daily ranking on Facebook for how well your workout went, if you drank a good amount of water, how well you followed your meal plan and if you drank Shakeology for the day.  The host of the group will post valuable info to read and comment on each day and you may be interested in reading what other people in the group post.  The time you spend on the FB group is up to you, but it's recommended to plan to spend 10-20 minutes reviewing the posts and making your ranking post.

If you are interested in joining a Challenge Group, create a FREE account & view Beachbody Challenge on my website. Then complete this form to be contacted about the next fitness support group and to verify which program is best for you!!

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness ...

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked he...

3 Day Refresh Review...

I decided to take Beachbody's 3 Day Refresh with a goal to lose a few more pounds, eliminate diet soda, and learn about the program, so I couldshare with others. For over a year, I considered the 3 DayRefresh and feared that I couldn't follow the meal plan because it doesn't have meat and limited liquid choices. No caffeine didn't worry me since I went over 1 1/2 years without caffeine...twice (when I was pregnant & nursing my girls)!! However, giving up all diet soda and meat is something VERY difficult for me.  I have been following the 21 Day Fix meal plan for the past year and love it because it allows me to eat 5-6 times a day with very few limitations.  However, I decided it was time for me to take the challenge and grow with the 3 Day Refresh.   Here is a little info and intro to the 3 Day Refresh... This is an overview of the meal plan for the 3 Day Refresh.... Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh:  Prior to beginni...
