If Covid added stress and a few pounds, here is a GREAT way to get back on track. This inlcudes the workouts , meal plan and motivation by me! Remember, this is JUST for 5 days at the 1400 calorie level. The workouts below ALL have a modified version in the video so I encourage you to do those workouts with the modifier. You can always do the more intense version later .
HOW TO START!
STEP 1) Weigh & Measure yourself in the morning of Day 1. Record your results in the Quick Start Guide.
STEP 2) Eat the meals listed each day. If there is something you don’t like, swap for an alternative!
STEP 3) DRINK LOTS OF WATER (even add some lemon in!) At least half your bodyweight in ounces each day (ie: a 100 pound person would need to drink at least 50 ounces of water every day)
STEP 4) Sign up for a FREE 30 days to BODI on Demand (you can cancel at the end of the challenge if you want, or it’s $2.99 a week after that 30 days) and FOLLOW THE WORKOUT SCHEDULE for each day below! https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/us/d/BODStandalone?referringRepId=94734
And remember, results or excuses, you can’t have both!!
WHAT IS IT?
Roughly 1,400 calorie-a-day plan that incorporates a healthy balance of proteins, carbs and fats. Each meal is approx 300-400 calories and daily snacks are approx 100-200 calories.
Remember: it’s normal to feel a little hungrier for the next 5 days. Just because your body wants food, doesn’t always mean you need food. Low energy, lagging workouts, lacking concentration, etc. you may benefit from few more calories. Option to double up on daily snacks. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!
(If you are breastfeeding, add at least another 500 calories )
WATER is best to drink. Black coffee is OK with breakfast. Avoid alcohol, sports drinks juices and sodas even diet sodas!
After the 5 days, continue to eat clean but be sure you are getting enough calories. Ever heard of 21 Day Fix? If not, go look it up!! It would be a PERFECT program to use that combines meals, grocery lists, workouts and more. https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/us/b/fitness/21dayfix?referringRepId=94734
NOTE:: If you don’t have Shakeology, you can use another form of meal replacement, an organic plant based protein shake without artificial ingredients can help too or choose another protein source and have veggies or little fruit with it!! I have used shakeology for 8 years and it has gotten me through 2020 covid free with superfoods, immune system builders and yummy plant based protein options .
