THE BODY RESET PROGRAM

Welcome to the 2019 Body Reset Program!

January 2nd – February 13th

I’m SOOOOO excited to get back on the “body reset” program I created last year with the help of my trainer, Jon McDowell, from VIVE personal training. A little background… I’d been working out at VIVE Personal Training for about 6-months but wasn’t seeing the results I wanted to see. This was last January… I was eating fairly healthy and working out a lot. However, the biggest problem and motivation to start the “body reset” was the severe bloating I had every single day.

Then the worst thing happened… I started getting arm fat on my back! Like right under my armpit where my bra line hits. Umm…hell no. I had a brutal conversation with Jon and that’s when he explained my body had plateaued so if I wanted to see any results I had to do a 6-week reset. But why 6-weeks?!

We all know the Whole30 craze has become a huge thing over the last few years, but it’s only 30 days. Well, that’s without drinking. Do you think I could really handle that? Nope. So Jon told me it’s going to take 6-weeks to reset my insulin and cortisol levels which properly burn fat and sugars in your body. Cue the Whole30 diet… Now that I’ve done it I can say it’s not that bad.

ABOUT VIVE

VIVE is a group personal training gym here in Dallas focused on intense strength training workouts. If you’ve watched my Instagram stories this year you know what I’m talking about. But, don’t worry everyone can do these workouts. It just takes time to build up muscle and strength but they legit work.

A few years ago, I realized I can’t just eat whatever I want anymore because my metabolism bailed. I’ve always struggled with belly fat issues (check out my belly fat tips), and tried to figure out what diet and workout would be the for me. First, I went down the yoga and cardio route. That didn’t really work… I started spin class. Again great workout, but just didn’t do much for my body. Then I started doing Insanity videos with my friends which is a HIIT workout. Ding ding ding…we have a winner!

A few people kept telling me if you build your muscles (aka weight lifting) then you’ll burn fat faster than anything else. I didn’t want to do it though because I didn’t want to get big and bulky… When I finally gave in and just went with this type of workout, I started seeing my body change after about a month. I guess they knew what they were talking about!

I did HIIT for about a year at a local studio, but since it involved a lot of cardio on the treadmill my knees couldn’t take it so I had to take a break. A few months after that, I started at VIVE. If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen me post a snippet of my workouts each week. I’m not going to lie… This was the first workout I’ve ever done where I felt like I was going to vomit after the first few classes :/ It’s HARD. But, it WORKS.

The biggest transformation from my workouts were my arms. Honestly, they are the easiest thing on my body to tone but I knew things had changed when I was getting compliments from everyone about how good my arms looked 🙂 See my full arm workout here!

So what if you don’t have a VIVE type of place near you or can’t afford to do personal training? No worries!! I created a HIIT workout you an do 5 days a week instead. Just be sure to add weights with any workout you can incorporate them into.

THE WORKOUT

WARM-UP: about 5 min of = high knees + skip lunges + side shuffle + butt kicks

CARDIO: usually one of two things… pushing the sled with weights OR sprints on the skillmill (curved treadmill)

WEIGHT LIFTING: always a mix up of things like = weighted squats + TRX exercises (arms) + VIPR fitness tube + split lunge + and much much much more!!

Guess what?? If you live in Dallas I’ve got a DEAL for YOU!! Join me on the SurVIVEd program and contest this January!  (Once signed into MindBody click appointments tab and choose Survive option)
