Get your Fixate Cookbook


✋✋ Slow down for just a moment! I'm looking for FIVE ladies who are ready to rock their fitness goals ✋✋

This program - the 21 Day Fix - literally changed my fitness journey!

Before it was released I thought I was doing it right. I thought working out for 60-90 minutes per day is what was needed. I thought I knew portion control. ...

But man was I wrong!

These 7 containers taught me so much about eating. I learned that I could have my wine and chocolate and still get results!

We're heading into the season of giving and I want to start giving back now! The first two people who start the 21 Day Fix with Shakeology will have their choice of an extra set of containers or the fixate cook book {which is filled with over 100 healthy yummy recipes}.

But I only have two! So once they're gone - they're gone!

Who's ready to commit to their health and fitness goals?!?

Want to get your hands on a copy of the cookbook click here!

Definitely get the Les Mills Combat and Pump if you are even slightly considering it! These programs are going to be discontinued in the Beachbody collection and once they are gone they are gone forever!!!  Don't delay bc it will sell out fast!

P90X2 is a great workout! It is challenging, it works your core, it gives you more strength and stability and I love that it works multiple muscle groups at the same time!  Honestly, when I did this program I totally toned and trimmed up my mid section!!  

The ankle weights I use all the time!  I use them when I did Brazil Butt Lift and I use them with Pilates in the 21 Day Fix.  It definitely adds more resistance and makes the workouts more challenging!

Everything on this list is great!!!!  Think gifts for FATHERS DAY, think birthday presents or Christmas presents! Especially the Beachbody Apparel is great for the person who loves the workouts or is a coach!

You can't go wrong!  But honestly it does sell out fast!

Easy Pico Di Gallo

1 Jalapeno
3 large tomatoes (or six small ones, like roma)
1 small red onion (or half of a large one)
1 bunch of cilantro
1 medium lime (or 2 small ones)
Salt to taste
(Optional – diced garlic. I add two cloves of diced garlic sometimes, and that is great when you are using it in recipes)



To make the Pico Di Gallo simply:

1) Dice up the tomatoes and add to bowl.

2) Dice up the onion (I will substitute white or yellow onions if that is what I have on hand. A red onion will add a little more kick, but your choice. Also, you can increase or decrease the onion depending on your taste). Add your onions to the bowl with tomatoes.

3) Dice up the Jalapeno, finely, and add to bowl.

I do NOT seed it (remove the inside of it). Lots of the heat is in the Jalepeno seeds, so if you like a little kick to your pico di gallo, just cut off the stem and dice the rest of it up. If you like it a bit more mild, remove the seeds first.

4) Finely chop up half the bunch of cilantro (be sure to wash first), and add to bowl (we love cilantro, but you can adjust the amount depending on your taste).

5) Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture (or two, if they are small).

6) Add salt to taste (we use about 2 tsp.). Salt is important in this recipe, it brings out the rest of the flavors. The Pico Di Gallo will be bland without it.

Gently mix it all together. Add to a serving bowl, and put out some chips – and you are ready to entertain.

HOW TO GET A FULLER ROUNDER BUTT

Having a great butt is all the rage these days!  Remember when it was all about being skinny? We are far from that these days with music, social media, and basically everywhere you look is about the big, round booty.  Its hard for us pancake butts to keep up! 



So I am ready to join to craze and work on my backside!  I would squat and squat and squat away during my workouts but I seemed to always only feel it in my quads.  Looking back, I don’t think that I ever felt my glutes work in the 2 years that I have been seriously working out.   So, not only was I incorrectly doing the moves, I was also not activating my glutes, and I was not feeding my muscles with proper nutrition.  This resulted in my butt getting smaller and flatter. I'm ready to start adding daily squats and a few other moves to my routine so the muscles in my butt will feel like they have a purpose.  

 These are the moves I plan to incorporate into my daily routine.

Squats



Glute bridges





Donkey kicks



Bird dog




Here's the other part of training that most people ignore. you need to adjust what you are putting in your mouth. Protein at every meal no matter what and plenty of greens and yes, CARBS!!!!!   And  yes FAT!!!!   Your body needed this to build muscle.  What else is great about having a strong butt you ask?   It helps with back low back pain!   Sooooo many people I know suffer from low back pain.   So take action people and get those booty muscles working.  EAT REAL FOOD!  LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS!!!!

No- Bake Energy Balls

Here is a snack that passes as healthy but tastes good enough that it could replace your dessert! So who wouldn't love this recipe? Not to mention they are quick and easy – and they require no cooking or baking of course. I could easily finish off the whole batch myself. They are so addictive and yes they do taste like a treat. They remind me of something like a granola bar and even more so of a peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough. They make for a great snack or even grab a few on the go for a quick breakfast. These are loaded with protein and fiber so they curb those afternoon munchies (you know around 4:00 when it’s like – is it dinner time yet?).My kids love them too, so when I make them, its a guarantee that I have to make a double batch!



No-Bake Energy Bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: About 20
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (raw)
  • 1/2 cup Flaxseed 
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips (I' used minis)
Directions
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter and honey. Add remaining ingredients and stir until evenly coated. Shape into 1-inch balls. Store in an airtight container.

Is Shakeology Dairy and Gluten Free?

Is Shakeology Dairy and Gluten Free?

A big question I get asked a lot is if Shakeology is dairy and gluten free? With all our different types of issues in America this is a legitimate question.  I know many of my friends have gluten issues and they face the same problems. Shakeology was designed to provide an answer for that that struggle with getting their daily veggies. It has really expanded into a top of the line nutritional supplement capable of improving your health and fitness.

Is Shakeology Dairy Free?

Yes and No, it just depends on which type you get. The Vegan formulas for Shakeology are dairy free and contain no animal products. The original chocolate the Greenberry and strawberry are made with whey protein which is a milk product. The Vegan formula uses brown sprouted rice, along with a pea protein for its protein source.  Some people feel it is grainier than the original.
I've heard from those that are extremely lactose intolerant is that the original actually don’t upset their stomach either. Certain whey proteins can but Shakeology isn’t one of them does. If you are not sure which one to use I recommend trying one of the Vegan blends, and if it doesn’t work you have 30 days to send it back risk free.

Is Shakeology Gluten Free?

Yes! Shakeology is gluten free. It contains no wheat products only certain grasses. All six different flavors are gluten free so you can try any of them. Just remember to always consult your doctor before using a supplement. Even though Shakeology is gluten free you’ll want to still get a professional opinion if you battle with certain illness.

Where Can I Find Shakeology?

You can try Shakeology try here! I have laid out the different locations for each flavor. Remember that if you purchase from this site and select HD or Auto-Ship (which you can always cancel very easily!) you receive free shipping! That is a $10 value! In order to get your Shakeology for 25% you can ask me how by becoming a preferred coach! Just send a message hellomuscles@yahoo.com
