On the 8th day of Fit-mas

On the 8th day of Fit-mas...my true love brought this to me early.... my support group is starting January 4th, 2016. Who doesn't want to kick off 2016 fit, lean and strong? Challenge group is on special this December for $160.

I am also offering a $25 gift card after your completion of the program (contact me for full details)!

You save over $80 with this pack compared to buying each item separately. Limited time only! That means when you buy Shakeology and The Master's Hammer and Chisel in this Challenge Pack, it's like getting The Master's Hammer and Chisel for just $30. 

It's a fact—crafting a "masterpiece" physique takes the right combination of fitness and nutrition. And with The Master's Hammer and Chisel and Shakeology Challenge Pack, you'll get an innovative resistance-training system designed to help you build a strong, sculpted body along with Shakeology, the ultra-premium nutritional shake that can help you stay healthy and reach your fitness goals even faster.

You can even start streaming The Master's Hammer and Chisel workouts because your Challenge Pack includes 30 days of FREE access to Beachbody® On Demand!

If you choose not to take advantage of your FREE Trial Membership in the Team Beachbody Club, you may remove it from your Challenge Pack at checkout. This will not, however, change the price you pay today, and you will lose streaming access to The Master's Hammer and Chisel and more than $4,000 in additional workouts.

On the 9th Day of Fit-mas

I think Autumn Calabrese made this shirt for me. Who wouldn't want their treat after they workout? If I had a shirt like this I would maybe think twice before I ate that cookie as I would be getting a constant reminder while I am doing those burpees! Available at www.novakbefit.com

At the end of a long, grueling shoot for one of her most popular workout programs, Autumn joked that she "did it all for the cookie." She earned it, and now she wants you to enjoy the same healthy balance. Is there a better feeling than slipping out of a sweaty sports bra into a soft tank that shows off all that hard work? Not when you're also enjoying a delicious treat!

On the 2nd day of Fit-mas

On the 2nd day of Fit-mas, here is another item you should add to your Santa wish list. I love my medicine balls and rack. They don't collect dust and you can do lot's of different moves with them. Once again, I am a huge Amazon shopper and we purchased it on there. Not a first investment but if you already have some workout equipment I would consider this for your wish list. 

Here is me doing my favorite "ball" move. Easy for a beginner and great for working your core!

What to get for Fit-mas

Stay tuned for my daily Christmas recommendations (or great for anytime of the year).

On the 10th day of Christmas, I am recommending Beachbody Performance Sampler Pack. It is available at www.novakbefit.com for $19.95.

My curiosity with this performance line is peeked because of the slogan get.the.results.you.want. It is supposed to lean you out and enhance your workouts. Who doesn't want post workout soreness? I have to admit I am curious so rather than spending $ on the whole set I recommend trying this inexpensive performance sampler pack.

I heard Santa whisper he is stuffing a sampler pack for Shawn and I in our stockings this year...shhh!!

H & C Deluxe workout for 15 minute legs

I have noticed that I spend so much time working on my arms that my legs and abs have needed a little extra attention. So I decided to begin my workouts with my 10 minute ab workouts until 2016 (I love Beachbody On Demand because I can pick a different workout from my laptop every morning...no messing with DVDs). Today was 21 Day Fix 10 minute abs.

I also have been DYING to preview the new Masters Hammer & Chisel (I officially begin on 1/4/16). In my effort to have a great workout week, I decided to try out the Deluxe (bonus workouts) that I purchased. Today was 15 minute legs (it was actually 20 minutes with the warm up and cool down).

I found that you do not need to modify this program. It is appropriate for any fitness level. You need a medicine ball or a weight. I used a 4 lb weight as I didn't have any idea what the moves where. This ball was TOO light. Thankfully I have a large assortment of medicine balls so next time I will go higher in weight.

The workout included front lunges and reverse lunges, squats, sumo squats, side lunges and some stability and core moves. This program was lead by Sagi.

Did I sweat? Yup...and I didn't plan to as I was being lazy and working out in my living room with my pjs on. I had to take off my pajama shirt while working out so hopefully my blinds were closed LOL!

Off for a healthy breakfast off fruit!

Have a great day! xoxo

What are you thankful for?

Today at a Christmas party we had to go around the table and say something we were excited or thankful for. I am obviously thankful for things that I pray will never change but these are NOT the things that I said...I don't really like speaking in public. HERE is what I COULD have said:

• my health
• my family and children's health
• financial freedom to be a stay at home mom
• running my own small business as a motivational coach and inspiring others
• meeting some of my own goals this year such as running a 1/2 marathon not once but twice and achieving a personal record!
• enjoying a trip with my hubby this year
• taking a wonderful vacation with my immediate and extended family and friends
• being creative and re-finishing my cabinets all myself when I couldn't even open a paint can (and then fixing my 10 year old home a facelift with some other cosmetic changes)

I don't like tooting my own horn that is why I couldn't say those things. 

But I know my role is raising my kids and that is what I am doing right now. Therefore, my kids goals are mine for the next 18 years. Until then I am trying not to lose sight of who I am. I accomplish this by taking care of myself which leads to me taking care of my kids. That is my WHY for being a Beachbody coach. When the time comes and my kids don't need me anymore I will be strong, fit and ready to concur whatever my goals are. Whatever they might be at that time...What are you thankful for?
