Introducing "THE MASTERS, Hammer & Chisel"

THIS IS EXCITING!!!

The newest program from Beach Body "THE MASTERS, Hammer & Chisel"

My husband and I both are really excited to start this program on January 4th!  

or the very first time, trainers Sagi Kalev (creator of Body Beast) and Autumn Calabrese (creator of 21 Day Fix, and 21 Day Fix Extreme) have teamed up to bring you their proven techniques to craft a “masterpiece physique” with The Master’s Hammer and Chisel.

We have completed and loved the workout programs from these trainers.

This is just the program to keep us focused throughout the winter and ready for spring weather.  Summer bodies are made in the winter right?

What is The Master's Hammer and Chisel?

An innovative resistance-training system that includes all three phases of muscle sculpting—known as SSP Training—to rapidly build, chisel, and refine a masterpiece physique in just 60 days.

• Sculpt your ultimate physique with 12 brand-new workouts that incorporate the three phases of SSP Training—Stabilization, Strength, and Power - that are essential to building a powerful, perfectly defined body.  A comprehensive program from seasoned trainers and award-winning fitness competitors, Sagi and Autumn

• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment.

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

• Fuel your body for demanding workouts and achieve your best results with a straightforward portion-control nutrition plan that you can customize to meet your goals - whether you want to lean out, sculpt and maintain what you've got, or build muscle. 

Who is the target audience?

• Men and women looking for a comprehensive resistance-training or muscle-sculpting program.

• Those who enjoy Body Beast®, 21 Day Fix®, or 21 Day Fix EXTREME®.

• Those who like the motivating styles and proven training methods of trainers Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese.

• Those who crave a simple, flexible nutrition plan to help them reach their unique goals.

What makes The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program so effective?

• The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is built on the three phases of SSP Training—Stabilization, Strength, and Power.  Other programs 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.

• The program combines the expertise and proven training techniques of two seasoned trainers who’ve spent decades acquiring the tools, skills and experience need to transform your body into a masterpiece - fast. 

How does The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program differ from Body Beast and 21 Day Fix EXTREME?

• Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese combined their own effective body-sculpting techniques into one

comprehensive resistance-training program.

• 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 powerful, defined physique.

• 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 in the shortest time possible, 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 helping you achieve a strong and chiseled body.

What equipment requirements are there?

• 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.

What are the unique benefits?

• A strong, chiseled, perfectly defined body.

• Improved strength, power, cardiovascular endurance, balance, and agility.

• Incredible definition that you might not have been able to achieve before.

• The flexibility to lean out, sculpt and maintain what you have, or build muscle, depending on your unique goals.

What’s included?

• 12 workouts on 6 DVDs that rapidly build, chisel, and refine your body using SSP Training.

• A set of 7 portion-control containers and a Shakeology® shaker cup to help you master the art of nutrition—and sculpt your ultimate physique.

• The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Program and Nutrition Guide, with your straightforward eating plan, easy-to make recipes, and Sagi and Autumn’s expert tips for getting the most out of your workouts.

• Quick-Start Guide lays out your 3-step blueprint for building the body you’ve always wanted.

• 60-Day Calendar that shows you which workout to do each day for efficient and effective training.

The Sweet Spot

Hey guys!
It's been awhile since I've posted.  Like all of you, we've been getting ready around our home for Christmas.  The kids elf has arrived, we've been doing lots of Christmas activities around our lovely small community and of course, Santa has been busy in his workshop. 

Author Christine Carter, PH.D.

I did have time to finish a book called
"The Sweet Spot - How to Find your Groove at Home and Work" by Christine Carter, PH.D. 
She actually has a really get website where you can find her blog, life coaching, videos, online classes and free resources.  The link to her website is HERE
 

 

I picked this book up because sometimes I can definitely feel the whelm of being a mom of three, working full time, running the kids around to hockey, skating, gym tots etc. and having a business that I love on the side.  I can sometimes feel caught up in the busyness and start to feel run down, tired, stressed and overwhelmed with everything.  Each part of these areas in my life are important to me but I know I need to slow down and make sure I've got some relax time scheduled too.  I need to check and make sure I'm balanced in all important areas equally. 

Are you busy, on the go, feeling a bit run down and looking to balance your life out a bit more? This book and tips may help you.  

How can you ease overwhelm?
Here are Christine's tips from her book:

1. Make your bed - there is something true about the state of your bed is the state of your head.
2. Set your phone to automatically go into silent mode an hour before your bedtime.  Enjoy the peace and quiet.
3. Develop a way to "give good no: As in "Thank you so much for asking, but that isn't going to work out for me right now"
4. Turn off your TV unless you intend to watch something specific.  Never watch commercials - record your show and skip through them.
5. Eat at least one meal a day without doing anything else at the same time.  No driving, reading, or responding to email.
6. Make decisions about routine things once.  Buy the same brands at the grocery store every time; get the same outfit in different colours so you don't have to decide what to wear every morning; prepare the same basic meals most week days.
7. Clean out one drawer or shelf a day.  Eventually, everything in your home will have a place, and this will make it easy to find what you need when you need it.
8. Establish "predictable time off" with your colleagues and family.  When will you commit to not working.  Start with dinnertime, work up to weekends.
9. Stop multi-tasking.  It makes you error prone, and even though you think you're getting more done, it's actually quite inefficient.  
10. The a good old fashion recess in the middle of the day. For every 60-90 minutes that you focus, take a 10-15 minute break.  Go outside and play/take a walk!  Or at least sit inside and daydream.
11. Increase your ratio of positive to negative emotions by watching a silly YouTube video, expressing gratitude to someone, or reading something inspiring. 
12. Establish a tiny time saving habit.  Put your keys by the door where you will be sure to find them.  Set up your coffee machine at night.  Sometimes a small effort today can have a big impact tomorrow!  Allow yourself to feel gleeful when you succeed.
13. Establish a happiness habit.  Do a daily crossword puzzle if that does it for you.  Read a favourite magazine at lunch time.  Throw the ball for your dog every morning.  What would make you really happy if you did it every day?
14. Take 10 minutes to do nothing.  Unplug from you phones and computer.  Sit down in a room where you can be alone.  Stare into space.  It's fine if you feel bored - you'll be more productive later. 
15. Smile at the barista strike up a short conversation.  Or with the people sharing your elevator.  Or with the crossing guard.
16. Repair a mini crack in an important relationship.  Call your mom and invite her to lunch, even though your last conversation with her was tense.  Find something nice to say to your spouse, even though he can be frustrating. 

 
What I have learned from this book was to really make boundaries with my time.  I wake up early to get my workout in and set my day off on the right course.  When I'm at work, I'm at work and need to shut my phone off so I'm not distracted by messages and notifications (I check those on my lunch break)  When I'm at home with my kids, again, my phone is on silent so that I'm fully into my kids and giving them all my attention.  At the end of the day I get back to message and notifications, emails when I can be fully focused on them 100%.  Then I work on my business after the kids are in bed and I can focus on that without interruptions.  My husband and I make sure we have our date night about once a week, it's nice we're able to use a babysitter now.  And we also make sure we have visits or get togethers with friends once a week too.  Stopping the multitasking has been HUGE for me.  I would find my self doing 4 different things at a time and then getting frustrated because I wasn't doing anything 100%.  We've cut our cable and only watch Netflix now, and it's usually Saturday or Friday night together for some quality time, catching up with my husband.  I really make sure to guard this time together.  If we have something on Friday then we make sure Saturday remains open for this time together and vise versa. Being 100% focused in where you are at that moment, and carving out specific time for the important things has helped me HUGE in balancing our life and schedules, it's just really works for us. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend to relax or have some fun with family and friends. Remember to balance each and every day and really be in the moment where you are.
