New Program Alert: Sure Thing

 If you’re ready to commit to your health + wellness with workouts, nutrition, and commitment that leads to results… I know Sure Thing is the next program for you!



What is Sure Thing?

You can check out a little about the program here




And try it out for yourself here:




The image below goes over all the details and I will cover them below!



Basics:


☑️ Sure Thing will have you commit to 30-45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks to help you build muscle, burn fat, and work on strengthening your core, everyday.


☑️ Sure Thing includes 36 real-time workouts that invite you to go all-in with your fitness and nutrition! It alternates between endurance and power-based strength training, plus cardio and conditioning, every week. Every 4th week is devoted to functional recovery with a hybrid training approach to keep you challenged, but never overtrained


☑️To make your results a Sure Thing, you'll need a variety of light, medium, and heavy dumbbells, Strength Slides, and an optional mat. There are 8 optional, bonus rides for cardio days that you can complete from your stationary bike.


☑️ In addition to the program workouts, you get access to the entire Beachbody On Demand library + 30 days free of BODi, our live workout platform. These workouts are great for rest days, bonus workouts, or continuing your journey post Sure Thing.

These proven nutrition programs can help you stay on track and reach your goals without counting calories or depriving yourself of the foods you love. 

To get more out of every workout, Megan also suggests adding Beachbody Performance supplements to your nutrition plan. She created her own personal "Shake & Hustle" bundle with the supplements she suggests using during this journey:

  • Start with Energize before your workouts to help sharpen your focus and push through every rep.

  • Fuel your body post-workout with Shakeology to get the protein your muscles need to repair and build, and get the vitamins and nutrients you need in one, delicious dessert-like shake!

We will work together to choose the best nutrition plan for your lifestyle and goals and build the supplement bundle that's best!

What support will I have?

I cannot wait to do this with you! Sure Thing invites you to go ALL-IN with your fitness and nutrition! My groups are on our own app, so you don’t get distracted by social media - plus you can track your workouts and progress right in the app.

Each week I will upload new meal plans and each day we will check in with each other, to motivate, commiserate, and inspire. It is a great place to answer questions, brainstorm, and just enjoy the community.

9 Week Control Freak - NEW PROGRAM LAUNCH!

 

9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK – YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR FITNESS & NUTRITION

Autumn’s new 9-week program is flipping the switch on what being a “control freak” really means and making it a GOOD thing! 

In this program, the only person in control of you is YOU. During 9 Week Control Freak, it’s not Autumn that’s in control, it’s YOU learning to be in control of your nutrition, your workouts, your sleep, and your health & happiness!

But I think what’s making me most excited about the launch of this program is the timing. 9 Week Control Freak is launching at the beginning of the new year, and there’s always a new powerful energy that comes with new! I have this feeling that 2021 is going to be our comeback year after 2020, and this is the perfect program to get it started!

Let’s take a look… 


WHAT IS 9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK?

9 Week Control Freak is a 5-day/week fitness program, and it’s the first from Beachbody to feature something they’re calling “DCT-T” workouts (density training, strength complexes, and tabata training). Along with 3 DCT-T workouts each week, there will also be 1 day of total-body toning, and 1 cardio & core focused workouts.

I had a chance to sample these during our virtual Summit workout and IT. WAS. AMAZING. Such an awesome workout that pushed you, but you can take it at your own pace, so they’re 100% accessible no matter what your current fitness level is! 

Along with new, unique workouts, there’s a strong focus on nutrition, but here’s the great part — the meal plan is up to you! I’ll touch on that more below… but first, let’s talk more about the workouts! 

THE WORKOUTS

Since the DCT-T workouts are something new in the program, let’s start with there…

WHAT IS DENSITY TRAINING?

Here’s a straightforward description I found; density training is a type of workout where you complete more reps of an exercise in less time over the course of multiple weeks (or month). But the goal is to complete each rep with perfect form.

WHAT ARE STRENGTH COMPLEXES?

Complexes are where you will complete multiple exercises in a row without stopping or setting down your weights. 

AND FINALLY… WHAT ARE TABATAS? 

Tabatas are basically a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training), but with higher intensity and more specific interval timing. (20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest).

I can’t tell you much about the total-body toning or cardio/core workouts yet, but if you’ve done any of Autumn’s workouts in the past, you know they’re going to be GOOD!

TIME COMMITMENT

This 9-week program is broken down into 3 different 3-week phases. But each phase is similar when it comes to how long you’ll be working out:

  • 9 weeks long
  • 5 days/week
  • 20-30 min/day

The shorter workouts make it EASY to fit into your schedule. I know many people loved Autumn’s last program, 80 Day Obsession, but those hour-long workouts were just too much. If that was you, you’re going to LOVE this one!

9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK EQUIPMENT

What equipment will you need? If you’ve done any of our programs, you’ll likely already have the weights that you need to get going with 9 Week Control Freak. And if you’ve completed Transform :20 you’ll have the step as well. But there are a couple of new pieces of equipment…

  • Light, medium, & heavy weights
  • Step
  • Control track with resistance bands
  • Core ball

What is the control track? It’s a door attachment designed to be used with resistance bands! (You can get a glimpse of how it works in the video above!) 

THE MEAL PLAN

So, what kind of meal plan are we looking at for 9 Week Control Freak? Actually, you’ve got a couple of options! 

Option 1 (Recommended): Ultimate Portion Fix

Autumn designed this program using the simple portion control containers, that’s 100% customizable to YOU and YOUR goals. And it’s crazy flexible! Plus, Autumn will actually be walking us through this program every step of the way for all nine weeks!

Option 2: 2B Mindset

The 2nd option you have is to follow the mindfulness-based nutrition program, 2B Mindset. This program is all about changing your mindset surrounding food — if you struggle with emotional eating this is definitely the program for you.

Both of these programs have their benefits, though, and it can be really hard to choose which is right for you, but there’s some good news — when 9 Week Control Freak launches, the Challenge Packs will include digital access to BOTH nutrition programs — that is an insane deal!! 

9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK RESULTS

The Coach Test Group wrapped up the program recently! Check out their results below. (Click on each image to enlarge!)








INTERESTED IN TRYING 9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK?

The program will be launching in December 2020. Interested in trying it alongside me or just want a little more info when more is available? Fill out the form below and I’ll get in touch with you!

Coming Soon: Morning Meltdown 100

The one thing that I love is that Beachbody is always creating new programs to keep my body from hitting a plateau.  I also get bored rather easily and I love to switch it up. So this is perfect timing for the Morning Meltdown program because it’s summer time and I want a workout that is fast paced, is going to challenge me, and is going to build on intensity each and every week!!
Jericho McMatthews, Beachbody’s super trainer, is a sweetheart and she will kick your butt in a loving way.  The Morning Meltdown 100 program is fun, challenging and doable for EVERYONE regardless of your fitness level.  I have had the opportunity to test out Morning Meltdown 100 at our success club trip live, through the coach test group and with a few friends.  The program is GREAT! So let me take some time to give you the full details on what you can expect!


What is MM100?

Morning Meltdown 100 is designed to help you unlock the best version of yourself by committing to completing 100 workouts!!! It might sound crazy, but I promise that with a little discipline and accountability YOU CAN DO IT!
Every morning, Beachbody Super Trainer and Core de Force co-creator Jericho McMatthews is going to lead you through a 20-30 minute workout that can help you rev up your metabolism, burn fat all day, and build your best body ever — all working toward helping you live your BEST LIFE.
There are 100 unique workouts in total and each one is designed to help you transform your body. These include HIIT, resistance, active recovery, mobility, and more. The workouts are short enough to fit into your day without any excuses and the variety means you won’t ever get bored!
But more importantly, these 100 workouts give you 100 opportunities to work on yourself  — and reap the rewards of working out in the morning.
My workout is my me time and it’s been part of my routine for seven and a half years now. Thirty minutes or an hour of working out is not going to kill me!! I try to leave all my stress and anxiety outside the door and focus on how great I’ll feel when I’m done.
So many women say that they do not have TIME to workout!  I remember saying those things to myself and then when it became something that I NEEDED to do – I miraculously now had the time!  For me it was setting the alarm 30 minutes earlier each day.  I made the sacrifice because at the end of those 30 minutes I felt so much more empowered to take on the day.  My mind was clearer, I had a great boost of endorphins and I just have a better mindset when I sweat first!!!
If you were to read any article on the routines of successful CEO’s, most will include waking up early or working on as part of their routine!  I think we are on to something here… RIGHT!!!!!

Did I Mention the Live DJ??!

Music plays a huge role in this program!! For the first time in Beachbody history, each workout is set to a heart-pumping BPM (beats per minute) playlist mixed by a live DJ.
“Working out with the DJ feels like a party! You’ll have fun, live in the moment, and connect to the workout like never before,” says Jericho.
Between the upbeat mixes and Jericho’s energy, you’ll have all the motivation you need to give every morning sweat session your all.

Is This Program Right For Me?

You bet! We will discuss your personal health and fitness goals, but this program is great for a variety of people interested in:
  • toning up, losing weight, and building muscle
  • avoiding a weight-loss plateau
  • short, at-home workouts (and a variety so you don’t get bored!)
  • turning morning workouts into a habit

Testimonials from the MM100 Coach Test Group

A select group of Beachbody coaches were chosen to test out the MM100 program over the past few months. I can tell you honestly that everyone is LOVING this program and the results they are getting!! Here are just a few photos and testimonials that I wanted to share.

“I get messages all the time like ‘I could never do that.’
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YES you CAN!!!! There are one hundred workouts in this program.. ten different styles, ten different times. You will not be bored! You will get sore, but you will feel like an athlete when you finish! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some days are sloowwww, some days are stretchy, some days require balance and some days you get to FLY!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are ladies and men of all different sizes, shapes, and ages in the test group… and while your still shot of this move might not look like mine … it will be YOURS!

“This last week every time I’ve seen a video of myself I’m like ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±ðŸ˜±how is that ME?! Neverrrrr have I ever felt this freaking INCREDIBLE!!! Also decided to do a throwback for grins, and thanks to Beachbody after seven years of marriage and two kids we look better now than on our honeymoon.”
morning meltdown, transformation, health and fitness
“I have always considered my upper body to be weak. I even struggles carrying my daughter around for longer periods of time. This weekend, we walked around the outlet mall near our house and she was getting hot and didn’t wanna walk and wanted to be carried. Typically my husband does it bc my arms get tired after like 5-10 mins. This weekend I was able to carry her myself. It may not seem like a big deal but to me it was. Especially since she cuddled in and laid her head on my shoulder.
Oh and another victory— I woke this morning the lightest weight I’ve ever been in a long time. I just can’t get enough of this program.”
