Starting the Ultimate Reset… and emotions
I’ve been interested by the emotions that have come to the surface with the pending Reset and moving… I think the video speaks for itself.
So this is my motto going into this and I’ll be trying to remember it every step of the way.

Ultimate Reset – 21 days – Get Healthy & Live Better!
What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset™?
The Beachbody Ultimate Reset™ is a comprehensive, no-starvation innerbody tune-up that offers much more than the typical cleanse and detox programs on the market. The Ultimate Reset not only helps you eliminate toxins and waste gently and naturally, but it also maximizes your cellular energy production, helping your body process food more efficiently and your systems run more smoothly.*
The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a complete three-phase 21-day mind and body program that provides everything you need to:
- Reclaim your body’s natural balance.*
- Release the harmful materials you may be storing within you.*
- Restore your system to its maximum health.*
Why Reset?
Our environment has become more and more toxic. Our bodies absorb pollution and harmful chemicals all our lives, along with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. These toxins can get stored in our bodies, clogging our cells and slowing down their natural functions. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average American has approximately 219 toxic chemicals stored in his body, primarily in fat cells. This toxic overload can help lead to premature aging, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society states that 75 to 80 percent of cancer deaths are linked to environmental factors like toxins. It’s not enough just to work out and eat right. At Beachbody®, we realized we had to take a break from the everyday and find a way to get those toxins out of our bodies. Along with getting in shape on the outside, we had to start getting healthy on the inside.* We decided it was time for a Reset.
You can join me each month as I start a new group on a Ultimate Reset Challenge – and get even more support by going through this program with a group that is doing the same thing as you are doing.
“The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a program designed to help your inside get into amazing shape, just like your outside.”—Carl Daikeler CEO, Beachbody
What are the benefits of the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?
The Beachbody Ultimate Reset is a breakthrough program that will help you reset your body so you can feel, look, and be healthier.*In just 21 days, the Beachbody Ultimate Reset helps your body get rid of toxins you’ve been taking in for decades.* You’ll replace the processed foods you’ve been eating with healthy foods. You’ll eat cleanly—possibly for the first time in your life—and take supplements designed to help your body remove toxins from your cells and organs. After 21 days, you’ll truly feel reset, renewed, and restored—you’ll feel healthy, maybe for the first time since you can remember.
The Ultimate Reset can help you gently restore your body to its original “factory settings,” by safely and naturally helping you to:
• Flush your organs of toxins*
• Improve your digestion*
• Increase energy*
• Have a more positive mood and better focus*
• Lose weight (and improve your BMI)* • Lower your cholesterol*
• Eliminate dependencies on sugar and caffeine*
• Improve your overall health*
How does the Ultimate Reset work?
The Ultimate Reset is a 21-day program, but it’s helpful to think of it in three distinct phases, each 1 week long:
• Phase One: RECLAIM your body, accessing its inner chemistry and preparing for change.*
• Phase Two: RELEASE the toxic compounds that are stored within your tissues.*
• Phase Three: RESTORE your metabolism to maximum efficiency.*
After just 21 days, you should feel dramatically better physically, mentally, and emotionally. Will it be challenging? Sometimes. But just as Beachbody®workouts aren’t the easiest fitness programs you can do, the Ultimate Reset may also require some extra effort. In return, it can deliver extraordinary results. And keep in mind that no matter how challenging you may find it, you’ll have your Coach and the entire Team Beachbody® community in your corner to help you through.Once you complete your 21-day program, you’ll have a “transitioning” period, during which you’ll be guided into life after the Ultimate Reset. You’ll get advice on food and exercise, along with helpful tips on how to maintain—and continue to build on—the great work you’ve accomplished.
What do you get in the Ultimate Reset Kit?

What the Beachbody Ultimate Reset is NOT:
• A starvation diet. (You’ll eat three filling, healthy meals every day.)
• An abrupt cleanse that’s hard on the body. (The supplements worktogether gradually to gently shift your body’s internal settings.*)
• A laxative-based, colon-focused cleanse, which fails to truly detoxify the whole body. (You won’t be running to the bathroom every hour!)
How is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset different from other cleanse programs?
The Ultimate Reset isn’t a crash diet or a processed-food meal replacement. It’s an integrated, whole-body reset solution—a step-by-step program that lets you have real food along with the specially formulated supplements that are included. It also teaches you to engage in conscious living techniques that help you detoxify and restore your body. You’ll not only help return your metabolism to optimal function, you’ll learn conscious self-care behaviors that can help you maintain better health, even after your Reset.*
Keep up your Beachbody Ultimate Reset lifestyle!
Why use the Beachbody Ultimate Reset Maintenance Kit after the Reset?
If you love how your energy level, digestion, and mood have improved since you began your Ultimate Reset, why stop now? Continue to support these positive changes by continuing to eat healthily and take supplements from the Ultimate Reset Maintenance Kit. What’s in the Beachbody Ultimate Reset Maintenance Kit? Continuing these two powerful supplements is the best way to keep your body in a healthy pH balance and enable your digestion to work at its peak level. • Alkalinize contains super greens to help maintain alkalinity.* • Optimize includes essential systemic enzymes to promote healthy metabolism and effective body functions.*If you feel yourself growing sluggish, or you feel your energy dipping to pre-Reset levels, you can also order the other supplements individually and help return your systems to tip-top condition.*

Motivation Monday
Motivation Monday: Stephanie M. lost 87 lbs. and 9″ off her hips!!! Here is her story:
Stephanie started struggling with her weight in her 20′s, and after two pregnancies it spiraled out of control. She says, “I was ashamed of how I looked, but too tired to do anything about it. I went back to work full time after the birth of my second son in 2008, and was the heaviest I’ve ever been – at 227 lbs on a 5’7 frame. My youngest son did not sleep well through the night, so I was functioning on only 2-3 hours of sleep while working 45 hours a week. I was exhausted, emotionally and physically. I was depressed and too tired to care, but deep down I did care. A lot. I turned to food to help me cope, and before I knew it I was binging on cookies and cake to help numb the pain. I was sitting on my kitchen floor at 2am eating a cupcake, as I had just gotten the baby to sleep again. That was my reward to myself. I ate it in 2 bites, and as I stared at the empty wrapper, I started to cry. What was I doing to myself? My kids deserved a healthy mom. Why would I want to deprive them of that? I couldn’t even chase after my oldest son in the back yard. I knew then that I needed to change, for them and for me. I was losing weight and feeling great, then this past February my family received news that would forever change our lives. My 2 year old nephew was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. I felt that same pain coming back, and the numbness was trying to set in. I didn’t want to exercise or eat right. I kept thinking “why should I? What does it matter?” We went to see him the night he was diagnosed. He was sitting up in bed with the brightest smile, pushing his truck. My heart was breaking and tears were streaming down my face, but he was able to smile and be happy. Given a survival rate of 25%, St. Jude’s accepted him with open arms. He is in his 7 month of treatment there, and after the successful removal of the tumor, all of his scans have come back clear! My nephew is facing a challenge that no one should ever have to face. He helped me gain my perspective & find my inner strength again.”
There are going to be amazing challenges in your life, and when you think you have them licked, there may be another challenge just around the corner. Keep your perspective – find your inner strength every day. If Stephanie can do this, you can do anything! Connect with me and let’s get your journey started today.

Join the Ultimate Program – The Real Deal Challenge
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.
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. If you are interested, you can sign up as a coach, and get your coaches fee waived when you purchase your Challenge Pack. Imagine… getting a business, the motivation, and the results for the same price you were going to spend anyway.

The year to believe
This week I’ve been sitting here feeling pretty alone way up here in WA while all of my friends are in UT. And many of my friends had amazing experiences this week working out with one of my favorite people, Chalene Johnson.
But when I see those smiling faces – I can’t be at all upset that I wasn’t there – I can only be happy that they were!!
There are tens of millions of people who have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight, and yet I meet amazing people in my business every day that have done it! What’s the secret? Well I know that there are two amazing things that have helped me. First is that I choose a program I loved and that worked. TurboFire. Second, I reached out to others for support. That is what made Beachbody so attractive to me in the first place. I’m a life coach. I have all of the data to give you, the meal plans, the life direction… and yet when it came to weight my clients were failing… and frankly so was I. What? That’s right. I was reading all of the data and yet the weight wasn’t budging a bit.
And then Turbo to the rescue. Beachbody has sought out those people that know what works. It does. Turbo Jam, TurboFire, ChaLEAN Extreme – these are all programs that work. Chalene knows what she is talking about. And she is so motivational. Yesterday she posted, “People “beat the odds” everyday. Don’t let society dictate to you what you can and can’t do. If your heart is pulling you in the direction of your calling, then follow it. Only you know what your purpose in life is. Don’t cheat the world out of your gift, by allowing the opinions of others to overshadow your truth.” That’s a big part of that puzzle you know? Someone believing in you. And she does. She believes with all her heart.
This year is the year of believing. Do you believe?
Get on board and make the changes you need to this year. If you need my help, just ask. You know I’m here for you. And when you realize and believe in yourself… I’ll want to hug you, and wish I was there, but I’ll be happy that you were here today.

Les Mills Pump now Available
Beachbody has partnered with Les Mills to bring this exciting new home workout DVD program called Les Mills PUMP.
Les Mills Pump got it’s start in classes in clubs all over the U.S. While they are still growing their club business, we know there is a huge demand for in-home workouts that are guaranteed to get you the results that you want.
The LES MILLS PUMP is a home fitness workout program that will include 12 workouts based on BODYPUMP® and other Les Mills workouts. Not everybody has the time to drive to the club to get their workout in, so we are doing what Beachbody does best.
We will bring you the best workout in its class to you on DVD. You are able to get fit on your schedule. That’s what I love the most about the company. It works for you.
What Is Les Mills PUMP® workout?
BODYPUMP™ is the original barbell class created by Les Mills that tones, shapes and strengthens your whole body. We call is “Pump” for short. Pump will bring 60-minute workout challenges that hit all major muscle groups. Pump is created around a weighted barbell to move through the most effective weight room exercises. High rep, high intensity. Think Squats, shoulder presses, lifts and bicep curls. The key component of PUMP is called “The Rep Effect”. The rep effect is muscle crushing training technique that focuses on high repetition movements with low weight loads. This training method creates muscles that are stronger and more powerful while staying lean. Think of my favorite athlete and motivator, Bruce Lee. Lean and mean! The workout is fueled by high intensity music to pump you up for max effort and max results, fast. In a normal 60 minute PUMP™ class you’ll crank out 70-100 repetitions for each muscle group. That which equals about 800 reps in one workout. Push hard and you can burn 1000 calories per workout.
The Les Mills Pump DVD workouts will be led by an all-star team of Les Mills Program Directors and Master Trainers to really push you physically and mentally while making it fun.
The Pump workout is a strength building, 60 minute workout in your living room. Pump will tone your body and push you to the limit every time. Les Mills Pump workouts have been battle tested in the 14,000 fitness clubs to 6 million people a week and have proven to be incredibly effective at getting people fit, fast. Now you can get the same killer workout in your home.
Here are the moves that you will be doing during the workout:
- Squats
- Chest press
- Deadrow
- Clean and Press
- Press pullover combo
- Lunges
- Reverse curl
Time tested moves that are organized in a specific sequence and using the Rep Effect to get optimal results.
What comes with the Les Mills Pump Workout package?
- 7 DVDs
- 1 Sets 10lbs. Weights
- 1 Sets 5lbs. Weights
- Barbell
- Safety Clips
- Fitness Guide
- Nutrition Guide
Les Mills Pump: Lean, Strong and Unstoppable DVDs
There is also a Pump Deluxe kit available that has 3 additional cardio workouts designed specifically to complement your strength training, and a height-adjustable Step that you can use as a weight bench, cardio-conditioning tool, and targeted sculpting platform. The Deluxe kit also includes extra weight plates so you can lift heavier weights as you get stronger.
If you want six pack abs, lean legs, sculpted arms, and tight buns, then LES MILLS PUMP is for you!
Les Mills Pump will go on sale soon. Sign up for a Club Membership VIP Beachbody account and you’ll get 10% off your purchase price on PUMP, and any future purchases while you are a Club Member.

Pump makes you lean!
Whenever I talk to a woman about working out the muscles, they always start to freak out about hwot they don’t want to get all muscley!! Chalene proved that won’t happen with ChaLEAN Extreme, and now Les Mills has 20 years of success with the new Beachbody program, Les Mills Pump!
According to the Chapman University Independent study Pump can help you to:
- Burn up to 1000 calories per class (depending on your effort)
- Continue to burn high calories expenditures for another 24 – 48 hours
- Improve strength
- Shape and tone muscles
- Improve bone density (helps ward off osteoporosis)
What is the Les Mills Pump Workout?
Quite simply, it’s the world’s fastest way to get in shape. The LES MILLS PUMP workout is a barbell-based rapid weight loss and accelerated strength-training program that incinerates calories to give you the ultimate tight, toned, lean body. If you want flat abs, lean legs, sculpted arms, and tight buns, then LES MILLS PUMP is for you.
The REP Effect: The Secret behind the Les Mills Pump Workout!!
Great bodies aren’t born, they’re engineered. How? With THE REP EFFECT™, which uses lighter weights at a higher rate of repetition so you burn up to 1,000 calories per workout and get leaner—faster.
Unlike typical strength workouts that use heavy weights and bulk you up, LES MILLS PUMP helps you get lean, strong, and sculpted using high-repetition resistance training. You push your muscles to fatigue by changing the tempo, position, and speed of your movements, all while hitting your target heart rate zone. So in every LES MILLS PUMP workout, you’re breaking down more fat reserves, targeting more muscle fibers, and blasting more calories than you ever could lifting heavy weights.
Join the Les Mills Pump Workout Revolution!
The original BODYPUMP® classes are taught at 14,000 clubs in 80 countries to millions of people every week. And now you can join this worldwide revolution—shedding pounds and building lean muscle—without ever leaving home. Get sleek, strong, and sculpted faster with the LES MILLS PUMP workout.
