Beachbody Fitness and Nutrition programs have seriously changed my life! I was able to lose weight and tone my muscle in just a few months! I know what it's like to fight the weight loss battle. I know what it's like to look in the mirror and not like what you see.
This is a pan-fried Clean Eating lemon chicken recipe. You will learn a simple technique to make quick, healthy chicken fingers then add your choice of sauce or use in a salad. This recipe is much more about the technique than the ingredients. It’s a great weeknight meal to make for the whole family.
Since becoming a Beachbody Coach, many women have reached out to me because they have seen my transformation and weight loss success. They want to know how I did it. They want to know how they can do it too.
Summertime is just around the corner. For some of us that means the dreaded shorts and swimsuit season. If you are like me, I couldn't stand the thought of it. So, I decided to do something about it. I want to share with you 5 Ways to Reach Your Summer Weight Loss Goals
Make this delicious smoothie bowl for a fast, nutritious meal anytime of the day! If you want to turn it back into a shake, just add all the ingredients to the blender instead of reserving them to go on top of the bowl. Add toppings like frozen cherries, sliced strawberries, shredded coconut, and add ice.
Ingredients: ¼ cup water ½ cup unsweetened almond milk 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology ½ cup frozen unsweetened black cherries, pitted, divided use ½ tsp matcha powder 3 cups ice ¼ cup strawberries, sliced 1 Tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut 1 Tbsp. raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Preparation: 1. Place water, almond milk, Shakeology, half of the cherries, matcha, and ice in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. 2. Place smoothie in a medium bowl. Top with remaining cherries, strawberries, coconut, and pumpkin seeds; serve immediately.
Add all the ingredients to your glass jar and let them sit for a few seconds, just long enough for the egg to settle comfortably at the bottom of the jar, underneath the oil.
Insert your immersion blender and push it all the way down until it makes contact with the bottom of the jar.
Push the power button and do not move the blender for a full 20 seconds. Almost instantly, you’ll see the magic take place right before your eyes: the oil will start to emulsify and turn into this lusciously creamy and thick concoction, slowly making its way all the way to the top of the jar.
After 20 seconds, the transformation should be pretty much complete, so start moving your blender around and up and down just to make sure that every last bit of oil gets well incorporated.
Store in the refrigerator an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Don't you know that summer bodies are made in the winter? There is approximately 12 weeks until June. The time when everyone is ready to go to the beach. The stores are starting to put summer clothes out even though it's 30 degrees outside. This is the sign that summer is coming and now is the time to start preparing. Now, is the perfect time to start. Every time you make a healthy choice you are closer to your summer body. So, when you are ready to have a dessert, stop and think about that bathing suit you want to wear in June. Think about it, 12 weeks is not a long time and it takes 21 days to create a new habit, 8 weeks to see change and 12 weeks for others to notice!! So, make the commitment now to start making progress toward June!! If you wait until May, like I have in the past, it's too late and very frustrating and you will try unhealthy approaches to losing weight. Take ACTION today!

I'm kicking off an EXCLUSIVE HAMMER AND CHISEL LAUNCH PARTY starting December 7th - You need
to be part of this group. Hit me up for
details. Complete form for more information!!!
What is The Master’s Hammer and Chisel™?
For the very first
time, trainers Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese have teamed up to create an
expert program designed to help you craft a powerful, perfectly defined body.
The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is an innovative resistance training system that
incorporates three muscle-sculpting phases—Stabilization, Strength, and
Power—or SSP Training. This is how Sagi and Autumn help you efficiently build,
chisel, and refine a masterpiece physique in just 60 days.
About your Trainers
Co-creators Sagi
Kalev and Autumn Calabrese are experts when it comes to incredible physical
transformations. Sagi has been crowned Mr. Israel— twice—and is a Master
Professional Personal Trainer, IFBB Pro, member of the IFBB Propta Hall of
Fame, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist.
Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity trainer, best-selling author, and working mom
who has held certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)
and the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA), and has
competed at the national level in various bikini competitions.
What makes The Master’s Hammer and Chisel incredibly
effective and unique?
The Master’s Hammer
and Chisel is built on the three phases of SSP Training— Stabilization,
Strength, and Power. Other workouts only focus on one or two phases, which
might give you decent results. But The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program
incorporates all three methods to help you relentlessly chip away fat and carve
every muscle for a strong, visually stunning body in 60 days.
• 12 brand-new,
30- to 40-minute workouts that combine Sagi and Autumn’s proven techniques for
60 days of hardcore resistance training.
• Sagi and Autumn make eating for your
goals simple. That’s why they included their easy-to-follow and completely
customizable nutrition plan, along with 7 portion-control containers that show
you how to portion out the right amount of food to help you reach your unique
fitness goals.
• Flexible nutrition that allows you to lean out, sculpt and
maintain, or build muscle.
• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you
have limited access to equipment.
• Includes a modifier who demonstrates some
moves at a lower intensity.
Team Beachbody® Exclusive

favorite cardio moves are? Find out as
they tag-team this challenging workout

Q. How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel differ from Body Beast®?
Body Beast is a bodybuilding program that focuses on muscular hypertrophy. The Master’s Hammer and Chisel
includes aspects of bodybuilding, but also focuses on improving endurance, power, agility, strength, balance, and range
of motion to sculpt a tight, defined physique.
Q. How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel differ from 21 Day Fix EXTREME®?
21 Day Fix EXTREME is a shorter, goal-specific program, whereas The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is a full 60-day
program with slightly longer workouts. 21 Day Fix EXTREME focuses on getting you shredded, while The Master’s
Hammer and Chisel also helps you improve other aspects of your fitness, such as muscular endurance, power, strength,
and agility. It’s a whole new approach to getting you ripped.
Q. What equipment do you need for The Master's Hammer and Chisel?
• A few dumbbells of various weights appropriate to your strength and fitness level.
• A bench or stability ball.
• A chin-up bar or a resistance band and a door attachment.
Q. How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan compare to Body Beast, 21 Day Fix®,
and 21 Day Fix EXTREME?
Like the nutrition plans in 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix EXTREME, The Master’s Hammer and Chisel uses the portion control
container system. However, it is tailored to meet your specific goals and the nutritional demands that a
challenging body-sculpting program like The Master’s Hammer and Chisel requires.
Q. Can you customize The Master’s Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan to meet your unique goals?
Yes! If you want to gear your nutrition toward building more muscle (a surplus), or toward shredding fat (a deficit), you can
use the Nutrition Plan Quiz to recalculate your calories to help you reach your goals.
Q. How do the calorie charts for The Master’s Hammer and Chisel work?
The Nutrition Plan Quiz included in the program and nutrition guide will determine your appropriate calorie chart based
on your goals. Like the calorie breakdowns in 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix EXTREME, the ones in The Master’s Hammer
and Chisel Program and Nutrition Guide also include the number of color-coded, portion-control containers your
bracket requires each day to meet your goals.
Q. How does the 60-day calendar work?
The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program is a 60-day rotation of hardcore strength training built on the three
phases of SSP Training—Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Sagi and Autumn strategically structured these
workouts to train in all three phases efficiently, so following the calendar is important.
Q. How does the Beachbody Performance™ line fit in to the program?
Because these workouts are so demanding, we highly recommend you consider adding Beachbody Performance
supplements to your regimen to help support your energy, muscle-building, and recovery.*
Instructions for
incorporating Beachbody Performance into your nutrition regimen are included in The Master’s Hammer and Chisel
Program and Nutrition Guide.
Q. Is there a Team Beachbody exclusive if customers order The Master’s Hammer and Chisel through me?
Yes! Customers who purchase The Master’s Hammer and Chisel through you will get a FREE bonus workout—The
Master’s Cardio (a $19.95 value)!
When Sagi and Autumn want tough, fat-chiseling cardio, The Master’s Cardio DVD includes their go-to moves.
Short, but intense, this workout boosts aerobic capacity, power, and muscular endurance—without impacting your
lean-muscle gains.
Q. Can I stream The Master’s Hammer and Chisel workouts?
Yes! If you purchase The Master’s Hammer and Chisel and become a Premium Team Beachbody Club member,

4-Week Challenge Program full of Fitness, Nutrition & Support
I have been working out with the 21 Day Fix Extreme for the past 3 weeks. I have made progress in my core strength, arm strength and definition. I feel that I could have done better nutrition wise. Honestly, I feel I have gradually backslid into old behaviors. I have allowed stress to take over causing stress eating...which is bad. In return I feel sluggish, fatigued and not motivated to eat the right food. Oh and sweets.... I LOVE THEM!!!!
After looking at my past post and pictures, I decided
to get back on track. Monday, I will
start back on 21 Day Fix Extreme in preparation of for the upcoming Master
Hammer and Chisel fitness program due in December.
My Personal Goals:
Read spiritual food daily.
Kick my sugar cravings
Take time to rest.
Consistent daily water intake (drink 1/2 of my body weight).
So, let’s keep each other accountable. We are human and stress impacts everyone,
more today than it did a year ago. When you eat better, your body feels better
and the stress decreases.
I am going to kick off the plan and prep week to my 4
week No Excuses November Challenge on Monday, November 9th. This is a 4 week closed online support and accountability group. My goal is to teach you:
how to meal
plan
how to make
healthier, higher quality food choices,
help to manage
cravings for sweets
To deal with
the temptations of winter comfort foods,
How to
handle eating out, eating while traveling and managing your diet when life
throws issues our way!
Your First Week I like to start out the
first week of the challenge with no workouts and focus more on your mindset.
I want to help you set realistic and achievable goals for yourself, I
want to teach you about nutrition and healthy choices, give you sample meal
plans, snack ideas and more. Your Second Week On the second week we start the workouts! You have the choice of any Team Beachbody Fitness Program; I will help you choose the one that is right for you based on your own fitness level and current needs. The 21 Day Fix s by far my favorite especially if you need a nutrition overhaul. Plus the workouts are great for beginners, as it provides modifications for each exercise based on your fitness level.
I Become your Beachbody Coach supporting you all the way!
The next requirement is that I am your Team Coach! You get this FREE of charge! You will just need to create an account on my site. Then I would walk you trough the next steps to get started.
Final Steps to Getting Started on Your Journey
Each person is required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the 4 weeks of the group. Here is why, Shakeology in not a protein shake, shakes like Slim Fast etc. don't compare. It's like equating apples to oranges.
With Shakeology you get high quality ingredients that are not processed. There are no artificial sweeteners or flavorings and it helps you lose weight because it's portion controlled.
Shakeology has the right carb to protein ration that your body needs to make up a complete meal. Any meal during the day can be replaced with Shakeology, not just breakfast.
My Suggestions for the Shakeology Beginner Choose the meal that you struggle with the most. Most days, my mornings are crazy getting ready for work and prepping my kids for school. So, breakfast is my struggle. You don't have to commit to it forever, but give it 30 days, doing so will help make the transition to clean eating easier. It will help you get better results because your body is getting proper nutrition and can recover faster. At the end of the 4 weeks we will re-evaluate to see where to go from there! Here is a guide for Weekly Meals to help maximize your results
Here is How The Challenge Works Each day you will log into
the closed online accountability group. There will be a daily post from
me. The posts will have a tip on clean eating, a recipe or motivation.
Each person is required to check in each day and report their day for
accountability purposes.
It is a safe place to come and know that you have people just like you to support
you and help get you through obstacles that come with trying to reach your
health and fitness goals. If I can do it. So can you!!!
