ARE YOU IN!?!?!
I'm kicking off my EXCLUSIVE HAMMER AND CHISEL TEST GROUP on December 14th.  You gotta make sure you are included! 

So lets talk details!  Yup I'm about to get all technical on you, but I know that having all the facts helps so much!  HERE YOU GO!

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. BONUS!

• Includes a modifier who demonstrates some moves at a lower intensity.

Q. Can you customize The Master’s Hammer and Chisel nutrition plan to meet your unique goals?

Yes!

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.

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.

The 21 Day Fix Extreme...What is it?

The 21 Day Fix has been a KILLER nutrition and fitness program!!  Have you heard of it?  Have you completed it?  Well, last year at this time, the 21 Day Fix launched and it was SO popular that it sold out in record breaking time. WHY??  Because the 21 Day Fix brought us something that so many of us need...SIMPLE and easy to follow nutrition plan, short and effective 30 minute workouts that ANYONE can do, and proportioned containers to aid in your nutrition to make YOU successful!

So, it has now been a year since the launch of the 21 Day Fix...so what's next?  None other than the 21 Day Fix Extreme!!  Yep, Autumn is back with yet another 21 Day Fix inspired program...but this time it's taking it to the next level.  This is her personal tips and nutrition that she uses to get ready for competition!  So you're learning from the best!!

What is 21 Day Fix EXTREME?

In the original 21 Day Fix, this was designed to make losing weight a simple process that everyone could understand...it made it possible for you to NEVER need to "Diet" again.  It gave simple, easy to follow way of eating, one that you can use the rest of your life!  This is why it became America's #1 fitness and nutrition program.  NOW, you can get seriously shredded in the shortest time possible with the 21 Day Fix EXTREME, created by Autumn Calabrese.  This is a breakthrough 21-Day fitness and nutrition program that combines simple portion control, clean eating and EXTREME 30-minute workouts to deliver a body that is heard, lean and defined.

It builds off the basics of 21 Day Fix and takes it to the next level.  Combine no-nonsense portion control with steady state aerobics, resistance training and explosive power moves.  The 21 Day Fix EXTREME is a complete functional fitness program that targets every muscle in the body to help you torch calories while creating a leaner, stronger and more functional physique.

Who should buy the 21 Day Fix Extreme?
The 21 Day Fix Extreme is ideal for those with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline--such as an upcoming vacation, photo shoot, or other big event.  It's an excellent next step for 21 Day Fix graduates ready for a new challenge or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X, Insanity, Insanity Max:30, and Focus T25.  Fix Extreme is also great for those who don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and see abs; those with a "no BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition; or anyone who doesn't want to count calories, weigh their food, or follow complicated recipes.

What are the workouts?

• Plyo Fix Extreme- An explosive lower-body workout that uses jumping and resistance to torch calories and sculpt muscles.
• Upper Fix Extreme- By alternating opposing muscle groups, this no-rest upper-body workout will shred the chest, back, shoulders, and arms.
• Pilates Fix Extreme- Using a resistance band for every exercise, this intense mat workout works the entire body, placing emphasis on the core.
• Lower Fix Extreme- Glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves will get stronger, leaner, and more defined with 30 minutes of challenging resistance work.
• Cardio Fix Extreme- Combining weighted cardio moves with traditional metabolic training intervals keeps the heart rate soaring.
• Dirty 30 Extreme- Using only seven compound moves focusing on multiple body parts at a time, this workout will burn extra calories while defining muscles. Get down and dirty, and get it done.
• Yoga Fix Extreme- A fast-paced flow yoga class, combining strength, balance, flexibility, and power.
• Power Strength Extreme (Deluxe Kit Only)- Based on functional movement patterns, these nine total-body exercises will change the way the body moves, increasing strength, endurance, and power.
• ABC Extreme (Deluxe Kit Only)- A 30-minute workout that targets common problem areas by pushing abs, butt, and cardio to the extreme. It'll get that competition body ready for the stage.
• The Fix Challenge (Bonus DVD)- Keep things interesting and burn off calories with this quick resistance workout!

What Equipment is Required?

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT- Resistance band(s) or Weights (not included in Base kit)
RECCOMENDED EQUIPMENT -Yoga Mat or Beachbody Core Comfort Mat are helpful but not required.

What about the Nutrition?

Let's face it...this is probably a sore spot for many people...the 21 Day Fix allowed "cheats" like wine or chocolate.  However, this is an EXTREME program promised to give you EXTREME results if you commit to it ALL, nutrition and fitness!  So, in order to bring Extreme results, you need Extreme nutrition.  This is a 100% clean eating plan for the FULL 21 days!  There are options for you throughout the program (like eating out) however there are detailed guidelines.  Nutrition is KEY to your success!!!

You will also get the color-coded containers with your program!!!

So are YOU ready to be the FIRST to try the 

21 Day Fix Extreme?

It is YOUR turn to get EXTREME results...are you ready??  I will be hosting a 21 Day Fix EXTREME Test Group!  This will be a group designed to give you the support, accountability and motivation you need to propel you to reaching your extreme results!  You will not be at this alone, I will be there every step of the way for YOU to succeed!

Does this sound like something you would like to do?  If so, complete this application to be considered for a spot in my Exclusive Test Group!

Are you ready to go?  The 21 Day Fix Extreme is set to launch on February 2, 2015.  If you email me, I will give you all the details on the group and keep you up to date on all the information you need to know in order to get your copy ASAP!  What are you waiting for??  If you start NOW, then you will have plenty of time to reach your health and fitness goals before the start of Summer...think of it as your jumpstart to your bikini-wearing days!  Let me help you get in the best shape of your life!

LET'S DO THIS!

St. Louis Super Saturday: April 12, 2014

Tracie and I

Such a busy weekend!! Spring time is finally coming and our green theme on Saturday fit quite well. Spent some quality time with people who love to help others with their health & fitness goals.

Super Saturday is a quarterly event that Team Beachbody sponsors and coaches all over the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico host!   It is jam packed with customers weight loss success stories, Coaches business success, recognition for achievements and training for coaches on how to grow their Beachbody Business.

When my success partner,Tracie, came to me a month ago and told me we would be hosting Super Saturday together, I was like, UMMM forget THAT! I have zero public speaking skills, I tend to get socially awkward, and never would've considered myself a leader on that level. I never would've thought I would EVER host an event. I was very nervous but I knew this was a new thing that I needed to step outside of my comfort zone on. I had to do this for myself! I just had to.



Super Saturday!

Tracie got our location advertised with Beachbody and I set up our event page on Facebook. As I saw the number of people attending increase as the weeks went by, I slowly began to freak out. The night before the event, I literally wanted to crawl in a hole. I kept telling myself, "What did I sign myself up for?" The weeks and days flew by and as the time got closer I kept freaking out at how many people were there.
Fast forward to the morning of and gave myself a little pep talk. I never thought I would or could be a leader like this. I kept telling myself over and over, I've got this!

............ AND a couple of hours later and we were on a roll. Providing great information to coaches about upcoming trips & promotions. I couldn't help but feel the fullness in my heart. This is what I was made to do.



Presenting

I couldn't stop smiling the entire day. This experience was absolutely LIFE CHANGING. I always doubted what type of leader I could be and I do know that I have 100% of what every other leader has and that is motivation & determination. I wouldn't change this experience for anything. I am so blessed to have a Success partner like Tracie who gets me to sign up for some crazy events I would've never of done on my own.

Ahhhh what a little yankin my arm will do.

I am so blessed to be apart of this crazy journey as a Beachbody Coach and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

XOXO,

P90X3 is COMPLETED!!!



90 day Transformation

I never thought I would say I have completed a P90X program....EVER. It's been sometime since I posted my weekly update. I got lost in the craziness of life and switching jobs which then put me at studying for a state licensing test for a couple of weeks, but I am BACK with my weekly updates!
I could not be happier with my first time with P90X. I LOVED it. My normal workout time is 5 AM, take a shot of E & E and start my workout with Tony Horton. Who loves to workout that early? NOT me. It took sometime to adjust but the E & E definitely helped. Tony's humor made it easier to finish the workouts as well.

SO.... I had a goal of being able to touch my toes by the end of the program and unfortunately that didn't happen, but I am still working on it. Instead, I have learned to master "The Crow". Who would've thought? NOT THIS GIRL. When I started this program I had ZERO upper body strength so to see this picture, BLOWS MY MIND.

The way my body has changed, feels amazing. I have never felt this straight before. These programs really do work!



The Crow (PROUD MOMENT)

I was involved in an accountability group throughout this program and the motivation from other challengers and coaches is what helped me. The time & dedication I put into it, is got me these results. I often see other people failing the "at home" workouts because they don't have the accountability and support  from a coach. Of course there were morning when my alarm when off at 5 AM and I didn't want to get up. There were days I hit the snooze because I was exhausted from studying until midnight the night before. I simply didn't want to do it. I still got up and did it. Exhaustion did set in about my 10-11th week. Starting my new job & studying all those hours, lack of sleep, I needed to sleep in and get those extra hours. I just came home from work and pushed play then. Staying on track is SO important. If not, you will fall of and not want to get back on, yes I have been there.
Following the guidelines of the mal plan provided was easy to adjust to. It was similar to what I was working with before from T25. Without the meal planning & prep, clean eating, and of course Shakeology, I would not have received the results I did.



Day 1 (12.29.2013)

Here are the numbers I am so happy to share!
December 29th (Day 1)
136 LBS
Chest: 33.5
Left arm: 10.5
Right arm: 10.5
Waist: 28
Hips: 38.5
Right thigh: 20
Left thigh: 20.5

January 27th (day 30)
135.4
Chest: 33.25
Left arm: 10.5
Right arm: 11
Waist: 28
Hips: 39
Right thigh: 20.5

Left thigh: 20.5



Day 90 (3.29.2014)

March 3rd (Day 65)
140 LBS
Chest: 33
Left arm: 10.5
Right arm: 10.5
Waist: 27.5
Hips:38.5
Right thigh: 19.5
Left thigh: 19

March 29th (Day 90)
133.2 LBS
Chest: 31.5
Left arm: 11
Right arm: 11
Waist: 26.5
Hips:38.5
Right thigh: 19.25
Left thigh: 19


I am over the moon about those numbers. I had some LBS put on throughout the program and inches as well. When I went into X3 I had no intentions of trying to loose weight, I just wanted to tone up. I got the best of both worlds now :).

If your thinking about this program, I highly recommend it if your looking to not loose weight, yet tone or bulk up. I did get my feet wet again with running, so I did add that into the mix a few times.

Next program, 21 DAY FIX!  Beachbody's newest program. I am excited to join my challengers with this program. Even greater results will be coming soon!

Are you interested in changing your lifestyle? Are you ready to reach your health and fitness goals? Let me help you and create a path for success! Email me,sjbender11@gmail.com. My goal in 2014 is to be able to help as many people as I can, and I want that to be YOU!

Cheers to a stronger me. :)

EAT. DRINK. BE SKINNY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

As the holidays are coming and going, so are the family gatherings. No one really minds what they are eating throughout this crazy, busy holiday season. With this being my FIRST holiday as a CLEAN EATER, I have struggled the past years with over eating and feeling miserable the next day. I am so looking forward to not feeling like that this year.

In return for feeling miserable after Thanksgiving, I have put together a Holiday Clean Eating & Shakeology Challenge. We will focus on holiday tips to get through the gatherings and still enjoy the holidays. You will be looking and feeling GREAT. This Challenge will start on December 2nd. You will have enough time to recuperate from Thanksgiving and get ready for your holiday parties.

What is so great about the challenges is that you get the support, accountability, tips, motivation, meal planning, & MORE for 30 days. This will be a closed Facebook group so only the individuals inside the group can see what is being posted. These are tools you need to SUCCEED with staying on track and maintaining a healthy & clean lifestyle.

So this is exactly what I want to do for you. I want to teach you all the little tricks and tips that have worked for me!

What do ya say? Are you ready to tackle this together?

If you would like to be considered for my upcoming challenge group please contact me. I will discuss further information regarding the challenge group.
