What is Core De Force?

What is Core De Force?

What could you accomplish in just 30 days? How about getting into knockout shape — with a workout designed to help you drop serious weight, carve your entire core, and leave you feeling empowered!

CORE DE FORCE is the first program from our newest Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews. From strength training to dance to yoga, they’ve helped thousands get fit with all kinds of workouts. And they’ll be the first to tell you… if you want to transform your entire body and shed the belly fat, nothing beats CORE DE FORCE‘s mixed martial arts-style training.

Here’s how it works: each workout is broken into 3-minute “rounds” — just like a real boxing match. In those 3 minutes you’ll alternate between addictive Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai-inspired combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes that kick your fat burn into overdrive. But all that punching and kicking doesn’t just burn calories. Each move, whether it’s a jab or a knee, is rotational, giving you a 360-degree core workout that will tighten up your entire midsection. All you have to do is hit it hard 3 minutes at a time and before you know it — you’re done!

Who is Core De Force For? Core De Force is for EVERYONE.  Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level in your fitness you can do this workout.  You will enjoy the challenge of taking the intensity higher to improve your cardio strength, speed and endurance.  Each MMA inspired workout has an optional move breakdown to help you get familiar with the combinations.  There is also a “modifier track”  so you can follow a split screen if you would like as well.

Core De Force also focuses on rotational moves which means you will work your core from 360 degrees every time you hit play. That is going to be awesome for all of us who really want to tone that trouble area!

How long are the workouts?  

The workouts are 30-45 minutes in length and you workout 6 days a week with a stretch on the 7th.  The workout program is 30 days in length.

There are 8 workouts in the program

MMA Speed- ∫ Upper body and core focused boxing influenced workout. (27 minutes)

MMA Shred- Muay Thai inspired elbow and kicks for total body shred. (37 minutes)

MMA Power- Uses explosive and defensive style movements in this fast paced cardio conditioning workout (47 minutes)

MMA Plyo- Core De Force is an MMA style home fitness program that will transform your entire body in 30 days.   When you combine boxing, Muay Thai and plyometrics in one workout you get a huge calorie burn and RESULTS. (47 minutes)

Power Sculpt- Total body burner that uses explosive power and interval training to lean and sculpt.  (37 minutes)

Dynamic Strength- Low on impact but high on intensity. (47 minutes)

Active Recovery- Recharge for the week ahead with this rest day that focuses on form and technique to help fight fatigue and sore muscles. (21 minutes)

Core De Force Relief- A quick 5 minutes stretch before bed session. (5 minutes)

Team Beachbody Exclusive MMA Mashup– All the best Core De Force moves in one workout.  (26 minutes)

Core Kinetics- A unique core workout inspired by Mixed Martial Arts movements.

5 minute Core on the Floor- the ultimate core finisher- 5 minute challenging plank movements that gets your abs on fire.

If you want to take your fitness to the next level after your 3o days you can get these 3 additional advanced workouts too:

Agility Strength- combines fast footwork drills with body weight resistance to help improve coordination and blast major calories.  (9 rounds- 37 minutes).

Agility Power- Grab your agility ladder and rip through multifunctional training that ignites every muscle and helps shred fat for serious definition (6 rounds-27 minutes).

MMA Kick Butt- This workout is meant to target your legs and butt with nonstop mix of powerful kicks and calorie burning conditioning spikes (9 rounds- 37 minutes).

Who should buy the program?

Anyone who wants to tighten up their midsection, carve a stronger core, and sculpt total-body definition. CORE DE FORCE is great for intermediate or advanced exercisers-or graduates of INSANITY MAX:30™, TurboFire®, or P90X®-but beginners and people who are looking for significant weight loss can follow the modifier and drop serious weight too.It’s also a great choice for people looking to try a workout inspired by mixed martial arts. Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews packed CORE DE FORCE with Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai moves that are both effective AND empowering. Those who want to see results fast will also love the program. The high-energy mix of combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio is designed to get you into knockout shape in 30 days.

 How much will Core De Force Cost?

The price of the program will vary. What I suggest is purchasing the challenge pack as that is the absolute best value! You will receive the program for a fraction when you purchase it as a challenge pack! The challenge pack will cost $140. It will include a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the full Core De Force program, as well as a meal guide to follow!

What are the Portion Control Eating Plan details?The Portion Control Eating Plan is not a recipe-based plan like other Beachbody nutrition plans. Here’s how it works: Start by calculating a calorie level based on starting weight. Next, find the calorie chart that corresponds with the calorie level. This will indicate the daily allotment of color-coded containers. From there, the Eating Plan shows a list of foods that can be eaten with each color-coded container. Then, just fill the containers with the foods from the list, up to the daily allotment of the containers. No required recipes. No required number of meals. No required foods or ingredients. If it fits in the container, it can be eaten!

All supplements were designed by Harvard trained scientists and are based on cutting edge sports science, exercise physiology, and nutrition research. They are also plant based nutrients with NO artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. How awesome is that?!

UPDATE: My personal thoughts on the new line after 2 weeks of use

Energize: I think it's tasty, not too tart like our E&E is. I do not get jittery or have a racing heart. Instead I just FEEL SO GOOD! Like I'm ready to roll and conquer any workout. I love it! I never want to run out of this!

Hydrate: Taste is ok, it's a mild citrus flavor, not very strong in taste. It beats the taste of plain ol water ;) Plus I know it's hydrating my muscles properly so I'll continue to use it.

Recover: This is my most favorite purely for the taste lol What can I say, I love chocolate. But after 2 weeks of doing Body Beast and using this line, I can definitely vouch I'm not waking up as sore as I have before these supplements. This is mixed with just water and it's so yummy. No chalkiness or after taste.

Recharge: This one is ok in water but even better in a glass of almond milk! It's a subtle vanilla flavor. 

Creatine: I'm not taking it (yet) so I have nothing personal to say on it. 

Overall, I'm happy with the line. I am feeling better, more energized and refreshed in the mornings, not feeling so sore (which is amazing to me) I'm going to finish up the containers and I'll report back.

Why I love being a Beachbody Coach

Getting my office all organized today, reading through my sweet thank you notes people have sent, setting goals and plans for 2015. And I know some people view what I do as not a "real" job because what I do seems nontraditional and they just don't understand....

I don't...
 clock in or out
 have set hours/days assigned by someone else
 answer to a "boss"
 ask off for vacation, illness, or my kids' activities

I do, however...
 own my own business
 work every single day (hours I choose from my home or wherever I decide to office that day)
 have clients
 manage a team
 pay taxes
 have income in the TOP 1% & working to be .05% by end of 2015 ( http://www.answers.com/Q/What_percent_of_American_households_make_over_400000_per_year )
get vacation (when I choose and for how long)
love my non traditional job as a health and fitness coach.

I am simply thankful I don't have a "real" job.

Why Clean Eating is Important

Is your health your priority?  Well most people would automatically answer YES.  Most people would say that yes they do care about what they are eating, they do care about keeping unhealthy choices to a minimum.  But what I find is what people say and actually "DO" is two different stories.  I feel like I'm calling out the elephant in the room, but its the honest to goodness truth.  When it comes to your health most people are healthy when its convenient for them.  So, when you are getting ready for a wedding, a vacation or the New Year are the times when people place the highest value on health.  But the other 350 days of the year its optional.  I always hear people complain about the way they look, not having any energy, being overly tired, having bad cravings for sugar and sweets that they can't control, lack of will power, and body aches and sore muscles.  But very few people are willing to actually do something long enough for it to reverse the bad and bring in the good!"There is no such thing as a bad workout, but there is such a thing as a bad diet!"  So true, you can do Zumba, run on the treadmill, take the dog for a walk, do yoga and it's exercise!  But nutrition, you can do that all wrong.  80% of your results come from the foods that you eat.  You cannot out exercise a bad diet. I know this from my own experience. Working out 1-2 hours a day with little to no changes in my body. I thought because I worked out so much it didn't matter how I ate. Or I'd attempt to eat healthy but would still be eating processed "low fat" "no fat" crap foods!I embraced the idea of clean eating and slowly started to change my nutrition!  What happened was actually something very shocking.  I not only lost weight, but I was eating more food, more frequently but it was the RIGHT kind of foods vs the wrong ones.  I started to gain more energy and the weight naturally came off.  Not because I was dieting but because I was eating the way that God intended food to be.  Food as fuel vs comfort!!!  The more I embraced clean eating the more I was convinced that this is the best way to eat!!!  I am not dieting and I never did diet, I literally changed my lifestyle.  My food is a way of life, its healthy portion sizes, spaced every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, cutting out processed foods, and drinking lots of water.  I can eat this way no matter where I am at, of course its challenging because we live in a society that prides itself on convenience, food in a box, and low cost portion controlled diet food!  

I know so many people that do the diets where they eat pre packaged foods, count calories, and still lack energy, are not losing weight, are holding onto fat and do not feel fulfilled and satisfied.  I am and have been on a mission for the past 4 1/2 years to lead by example and to teach others that they can do it too!  So one of the biggest parts of my nutrition has been Shakeology.  And I've tried other shakes out there. You're starving 20 minutes later, you don't feel any better or full from it. 
Also, there are mornings where I am trying to get the laundry done, 3 kids dressed, myself dressed, and one kid off to school and the last person to eat is always me! That used to lead to the McDonalds drive thru- the kids pop tarts, a breakfast bar or donuts!  I would sabotage myself before the day every got started.  I would end up eating whatever was quick and easy because I was so hungry and then I would feel bloated, sick to my stomach, I would lack energy, I would feel GUILTY for not having will power to make a better choice, and I would then CRAVE more of the bad stuff!  AM I DESCRIBING YOU??  Are you on this vicious cycle of wanting to be healthy, not having enough time, and just lack of energy and will power?Well here are a few things that can help you to get on track!!!

1.  Start today, don't wait until Monday, or after Thanksgiving or after Christmas start now!  There is 2 months until Christmas which means that you can lose an average of 2 lbs per week with clean eating and even light exercise which means about 16-20 lbs by the New Year.  Can you imagine what that could do for you???  
2.  Start small- cut out the processed sugars, the refined white breads, the soda, and excess carbs.  Real your labels and stop buying foods with ingredients you cannot pronounce or understand.  1 thing each week, finish what you have, throw out candy, give away the cookies, send the Halloween Candy to work with your spouse and start fresh. 
 3.  Don't feel guilty for not buying sweets for your kids.  THEY do NOT DESERVE IT!  If it makes you feel weighed down, sluggish, and tired can you imagine what it is doing to their little minds?!?  Consider a bowl full of sugary cereal and then sending them off to school.  Can you say major brain fog and lack of attention! How can we expect our kids to eat like that and then have a good day at school.
4.  If you struggle with finding the time in your day to make healthy meals then replace 1 meal a day with shakeology. Why???  First of all shakeology is NOT A PROTEIN SHAKE which most people just throw it into that category or they compare it to all the other shakes on the market.  I want to stop you dead in your tracks and explain why it isn't.  Shakeology is a meal replacement and not a protein shake.  It has the right carb to protein ratio your body needs to stay full for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  It has the fast burning carbohydrates with the slower burning protein to keep you satisfied.  It has a ton of natural, not processed ingredients that are going to meet your daily requirements for vitamins and nutrients. So you notice that the energy you were lacking is decreased because you are now getting vitamins and nutrients that give you energy.  Your cravings for sweets are decreased which is originally caused by vitamin deficiency and you are no longer deficient.  You are not over eating because Shakeology is portion controlled, so your portions are in check.Shakeology is not for weight loss.  It's for nutrition, and of course when you have proper nutrition you naturally lose weight!  So shakeology is something I do everyday because its convenient, it's healthy, it does not add to my grocery budget but it replaces something I used to have that was less healthy!  Its $4 a day which is on the low end of an average meal which is $4-$7 for the average healthy meal.So when you look at clean eating and Shakeology as an investment in your health how can you deny it!  It's the one thing that keeps me on track when life gets busy!  HECK there are days when I am on the go from the minute my feet hit the ground and the old me would of just not eaten at all bc I didn't have time.  Now I grab a shake and go!  Your body is the ONLY body that you are going to get.  If you don't treat it with respect now it won't do you good later on!  
5.  Lastly, look at your food as fuel and not as comfort.  When you eat, always ask yourself is this giving me energy, is this giving me nutrients or is this purely comfort and to fill a void?  There will be instances where you eat for fun, you have some cake, you do a little party with fancy appetizers and you enjoy!  But that is not an everyday occurrence. So balance the good with the bad, be flexible, be realistic and know that you are not living a boring life eating clean.  It is going to give you more health, energy and life to do the things you love!
So what are my suggestions for you?#1 if you are serious about your health and nutrition you should commit to Shakeology once a day!  You should invest in your health because when you feel better you are more confident, healthier and happier!  Then #2 you should join my next clean eating support group because I don't want you to just have 1 meal a day that is healthy I want them all to be healthy and I truly want to teach you how to make this a lifestyle vs a crash diet.  I have so many recipes, meal plans, grocery lists, crock pot meals, travel tips, vacation tips, holiday survival guides that there is no way that you won't succeed unless you don't put in the effort to change!So if I am not your coach on Team Beachbody your next step is to create a free account and click the "contact your coach" button on the site to connect with me to start your consultation about how you can improve your health and balance the good with the bad!  Your body is the only one you have, treat it like you would treat your children!  You would bend over backwards to make sure your kids medicine for an illness so why would you diminish your own health?!

YES! I WANT TO BE A COACH!

3 Day Refresh

Today I started the 3 Day Refresh. It is a healthy, quick cleanse that is meant to give you a boost to get back on track. Think indulgent weekends and feeling blah, this can get you back to feeling good and eating habits back on track.
I figured I could use a good boost myself :)
Day 1 has come to a close for me and here are my thoughts....
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, meaning I was not a starvin Marvin all day lol
The Fiber Sweep drink is ok, I am just not a fan of lemon flavor drinks aside from lemonade so I put a few drops of water flavoring in it and it was no problem from there! Only one of those a day in the morning. I can tolerate it for 3 days.
The Vanilla Refresh drink was yummy considering you only made it with water. You get 2 of those a day. One at lunch and one at dinner.
I got a wide variety of fruits and veggies to pick from which I love, don't feel deprived. I even feel good enough and full enough to go workout in a bit!
I'll weigh in the morning and report again at the end of tomorrow about day 2 and any changes I've had. Stay tuned! 

Day 3 complete! I ate the same things pictured above for all 3 days, I am not one to require large variety each day. There was certainly room for many combos of foods to eat though!

Results: I lost 5 lbs and an overall loss of 6 inches! Belly bloat is gone and I'm feeling pretty good! I would most definitely do this again especially after a holiday where one tends to overeat or over indulge. I'd also recommend this for those with a vacation or event coming up and would like to lose the bloat, drop a few lbs and inches.

Or if you are ready to jump back into a fitness routine and are way off track, this would be a wonderful kick start to get you started!

If you have any questions or would like to chat, please email me at nicolejonesfitness@yahoo.com I'd be happy to assist you!

Laughter burns calories too!

This gave me a good laugh! I had to share :)

Shakeology: The healthiest meal of the day!

What is Shakeology? Why is Oprah writing a 10 page article in her magazine about it?

Containing 70 all-natural ingredients, Shakeology utilizes digestive enzymes and probiotics to aid in the elimination of built up toxins in the body. Shakeology also contains over 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients that aids in the reduction of free radicals. Basically, Shakeology works to prevent cell damage that has been linked to an array of disorders such as cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes.

An independent study showed:

- 38% drop in bad cholesterol

- 30% drop in total cholesterol

- 24% drop in risk of cardiovascular risk factors

It has shown to aid in weight loss while curbing one’s appetite and burning fat storage. And unlike most so-called “healthy” drinks, shakeology gets its taste strictly from nature!

- No Refined Sugars

- No Artificial Sweeteners

- No Artificial Flavorings

- No Gluten

- No Caffeine

A little about me and my journey

I started my getting in shape journey on March 2010. I had delivered baby #2 the previous Oct (2nd c-section) and was just absolutely miserable! I felt so miserable that in turn, it made me a miserable person to be around. I was sluggish, tired, depressed, and just plain unhappy. I had dabbled with P90x after my first baby was born, but had never really stuck to it. I had started and stopped SO many times with the program, just unable to follow through. Finally, something clicked! I knew that days/weeks/months were going to pass by whether I worked out or not so why not work a little each day towards my goal? So I started March 1 and took it one week at a time. Not focusing on the long term goal, as it just completely overwhelmed me! Could I do an entire dvd?  NO! Could I do all the moves and keep up with the people on the tv? NO! I listened to Tony Horton....I did my best and forgot the rest! I modified as I needed. I am pretty sure I was doing my own version of Ab Ripper lol By the end of 4 weeks, I had lost a whopping 27lbs!!! Well, that was plenty to keep me going :) I had more energy, felt good, and my attitude was turning around.  I then stumbled across my fabulous coach, Christina who introduced me to the coaching opportunity. I liked the idea of it and signed. It kept me motivated and held accountable. Plus, what better way to pay it forward than to help others who were on the same journey as me?

Month 2 came around and I loved how I would pop in a dvd and be able to do a move I hadn't been able to before. I was so proud of myself and what I was accomplishing. I was getting stronger day by day. I also started drinking Shakeology and it was the perfect boost. I had more energy than I knew what to do with:) June 1st was the end of my 90 days with P90X. I had done it! I had actually completed the entire thing and had dropped 40 lbs and 22.5 inches. HOLY MOLY! I couldn't believe it. By then, my life had changed. I had not only changed physically but mentally as well. I felt like a new person. I continued on and have since dabbled with Insanity and training for a half marathon!

So for those of you who feel hopeless and like you just can't do it, YES YOU CAN DO IT!!! I promise you. You just need to DECIDE, COMMIT, & SUCCEED!
