——> Sign Up for the New Year’s BodyWeight Challenge!

To help you get in a little bonus post-Christmas fat burning, here is a BONUS workout you can do this weekend!

HOT BODY TIP: Keep in mind that when you work against the clock, you not only override your inner slacker (lol) you also  bump your heart rate up enough to create what’s known as the “afterburn effect” – which keeps you burning fat and excess energy for hours after your workout! Talk about making fat cry!!

Speaking of make fat cry, the official shirt is now available – and you can get yours anytime! Just Click Here!

These high quality all-cotton tanks are made by the same company I get my “eat clean train dirty” shirts from, owned by my good friend Samya who is in the business of being awesome herself!  Be sure to tell her I sent you and she’ll keep a special eye on your package!

When it comes to making that “fat cry,” I want to point out that body fat serves some very important purposes on our bodies. 

• Our body fat helps us thermoregulate - or maintain a healthy body temperature, it cushions our organs and tissues, it’s a shock absorber for our bones – and our bodies can’t absorb important vitamins like A, D, E and K unless they’re able to combine with fats.
• I advocate eating healthy dietary fats regularly like avocados, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, grass-fed butter, whole eggs and many more excellent wholesome fats as part of a healthy balanced diet, and understanding that it’s healthy and necessary to carry an appropriate amount of fat for your body and lifestyle.

There is a lot of debate about what optimal amount of body fat percentage is for health and wellness, and the range is actually quite broad. 

We all have different body types and I want to remind you that the goal here is to be the HEALTHIEST version of you – not the skinniest, not the lowest BF%. 

I am not here to tell you what your percentage should be, because more than a number it’s about how YOU feel in your body, and that you’re able to do the activities you enjoy and live a long, healthy life! 

Our CHALLENGE is not about “losing weight” – remember, the number on the scale does not tell you your muscle density, or how much body fat you have. Don’t weigh yourself!

I AM here to motivate you to kick your own ass, eat the right foods and do the optimal workouts that allow your body to do its job of naturally regulating your body fat and putting you right where you need to be.

And…I’m here to GIVE you tools like these great workouts that maximize fat loss in the quickest, most efficient way possible – without the need for any equipment, a special location or snazzy workout clothes

So what are we waiting for? DO THIS CIRCUIT THIS WEEKEND!!
