It’s easy to get the benefits of healthy nutritionally dense foods with with Shakeology. Simply mix Shakeology in your favorite beverage for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Use your fitness program of choices, and you will feel great while losing weight the very first week.
Most people begin with our Shakeology Cleanse Program, which includes Shakeology mixed with water three times during the day every 3 hours, with a healthy fruit snack and a lean protein and vegetables for dinner. This is done for three consecutive days . If you often crave for food and feel lethargic, the hormone balancing ingredients will help you block cravings, boost energy and you’ll be hooked on the feeling by the end of the cleanse.
During the cleanse I recommend you log in to your account and set up your workout program in the Supergym. It will make it easier to workout. Just log in every morning (or afternoon if that is better for you) and do the workout scheduled. When you push Play in Supergym you will be entered to win up to $500 every time you workout. The combination of the Shakeology, healthy meal planning (you get the meal planning tool and recipes in the Club Membership) and the workout program you chose will start impacting the way you feel very quickly. It should help you stay motivated by the energized feeling and excitement you get as you slowly take your program to the next level.
Fitness challenges can give us more insight into our progression and ultimately inspiring us to push ourselves that little bit harder than ever before to achieve the results we want. By week four you’ll start to see changes in your abilities and your body. Within six – eight weeks your closest friends will see the changes in you. By the end of the program everyone will want to know what it is that you’ve been doing to look so great.
There are always plenty of new ideas being developed for the fitness market aimed at supporting our continuing quest for a challenge. I love that with the Beachbody programs there are all sorts of ways to continue the challenge beyond your first 60 or 90 day go at it. Hybrid programs, more recipes, more ways to enjoy your Shakeology, more ways to rev up your metabolism… and continued support from your friends, your family and the amazing Beachbody Family, including your coach… and that’s me.
Ask your family to join you. Hold a family meeting to kick off your family fitness challenge. Solicit everyone’s ideas — even your little kids can take part — for a goal to work toward. You might want to target healthy eating, increased physical activity, new strength goals, or less screen time. Spell out exactly what you’re hoping to achieve and what you’ll need to do to get there. The more support you have the better your chances are of success. If you are ready to learn more, watch the video below.

It’s time to lead your life, and stop following those people that have just grown comfortable in being where they are at. Health is essential to living the best life with your friends and family members. Taking on this challenge will allow others to follow your lead, including your children. They’ve discovered that it’s during our youth that we are actually multiplying our fat cells. Once you are an adult you can’t get rid of them, only shrink them. Children need adults to teach them about foods that are healthy for their bodies as well as to model eating healthy foods. They need to learn about what it takes to engage themselves in physical fitness on a daily basis. You can lead by example, and change your financial life as well.
Lead your own challenge group. Create a fit club. You can become a coach and be the leader and become what you’ve always wanted to become.
