FREE 5 Day "Spring Clean Your Eating" Challenge



It's SPRING and it's time to "Spring Clean Your Eating"!!

When was the last time you gave your body a rest from the processed foods, sugars and junk food? Well, now is the time to start! Join me for 5 days of cleaning up your eating!!

If you would like some detailed information on "What is Clean Eating" click HERE! This will give you some background on what it is!


Free Clean Eating Challenge

You are INVITED to join me for a FREE 
5 Day Spring Clean Your Eating Challenge!! 


I've been eating clean for about 3 years now.  Before I started eating clean, I thought I was pretty healthy...until I started to dig into clean eating a bit more and realized that some of the foods I thought were "healthy" really were not!  Now, I have more energy, I find that I can eat MORE food because of the choices I make when eating clean. It has changed the way I feel about food and the way my body feels. I notice when I have a cheat meal, or something my body is not used to, my body lets me know!! 

Free Clean Eating Challenge

Have you ever noticed that the foods you eat have a direct impact on how you feel?

If you have ever wondered what clean eating is all about then this group is perfect for you!

Starting on April 4th we will be doing some SPRING CLEANING on your eating!!  Are you ready???

If you're interested, please follow the link here to the Facebook Event page and RSVP "GOING" and then comment in the event page that "I'M IN" so I  know you're interested!


**Please note, this is for non-coaches only and those not currently working with a coach!

Hammer and Chisel Review - Week 3

I'm officially finished with week 3 today.  So...I actually started the program over on January 4th.  I had been sick some over Christmas and also we were out of town for a week skiing and so I missed my workouts then!!  So it was time for a RESET!!

Hammer and Chisel Review, Julie Little Fitness, www.HealthyFitFocused.com

But...that's ok!  Sometimes that's what we have to do!

Bottom line...I am LOVING this program!  It seriously is my soulmate workout...for sure!!  I've really developed a love for lifting weights and H&C gives a really great balance of moves during the workout so you don't feel like you're just sitting there pumping iron!

Hammer and Chisel Review, Julie Little Fitness, www.HealthyFitFocused.com

Now, if you're one that is counting all your steps on your Fitbit and want those extra steps for your cardio workout, they won't add up with this workout on a regular basis, but that's ok, you're building muscle and MUSCLE BURNS FAT!!!

I'm constantly sore, which, I actually love that feeling of being sore when I know it's because I'm getting stronger!  I know my body takes a while to "react" to my workouts.  I'm not one of those who starts a program and BOOM, I've got ripped abs and biceps the next day!  (I don't think anyone is like that)...but, I know I'm getting stronger and some of the really hard moves that I modified in week 1 are getting easier!

Hammer and Chisel Review, Game On, Julie Little Fitness, www.HealthyFitFocused.com OK...CONFESSION TIME!!  Nutrition!  Let's get real with nutrition.  Sometimes this part of the program just sucks!  Let's be honest!  I really do eat healthy on a regular basis.  However, I have not been following the meal plan on point!  I always have it in the back of my head of how many containers I need, etc. but I haven't followed it like I should!!  EEEKKKK!

That is changing in week 4!  (Seriously, it's taken me 3 weeks of not doing it 100% to have a wake up call!).  I'm HUMAN too!  But...it's GAME ON and I mean, game face and everything!  So...no need to sweat if you haven't been 100% either, just get yourself up and put on your big girl panties and make it right from here on out!  Sound good?  GREAT!!

Here's my plan!  I'm making is super simple for me!

I'm prepping today and simply going to rotate some meals throughout the week!  When I am getting back on track, I have to get some FAST WINS by making it simple!!!

Here you go!  Just for you...this is what I'm sticking to this week for my meals!

It's Time for Spring Cleaning, Candy Detox and 3 Day Refresh!

Spring has sprung...and so has the Easter Candy!!  Seriously...there is candy all over the place, it's already EASTER CANDY OVERLOAD!!  Every year, there's new colors, flavors and kinds of candy...the madness just doesn't end, does it?

Well, I'm here to help some of this craziness stop!  No, unfortunately I can't take the Easter candy out of the stores, but we can definitely work together to do some Spring Cleaning and Detoxing from the candy!!

Spring Cleaning and Candy Detox, 3 Day Refresh, Shakeology accountability group, www.HealthyFitFocused.com
3 Day Refresh& Shakeology Accountability Group



WHO'S IN??

I know, it feels like just walking past the rows and rows of candy at the store that the sugar is just going to latch on to your body!!  Well...let's not let that happen!!

I've shared my 3 Day Refresh results with you, and I absolutely love this 3 day program.  It helps keep me on track...it gets my mind refocused and my body prepped for best results of my workouts and nutrition!

So what is the 3 Day Refresh? The Refresh is a Team Beachbody Product that is meant to be a healthy alternative to cleanses that are on the market that really don't contain nutritional value.  For example, the juice cleanses, the various fasts, extreme cleanses, they really aren't the best option for you.  The Research and Development team really wanted to create a product that gives an alternative to these cleanses that will provide proper nutrition and was safe and effective at helping you with rapid weight loss!

Spring Cleaning and Candy Detox, 3 Day Refresh, Shakeology accountability group, www.HealthyFitFocused.com
3-Day Refresh + 30 Days of Shakeology and Clean Eating

What comes with the Refresh Kit?  With the basic Refresh kit you get 3 Shakeology packets, 3 packets of the Fiber Sweep, 6 packets of the Vanilla Refresh, a nutritional guide and program manual.

How do you do the Refresh?  You drink a Shakeology Shake for breakfast with a serving of fruit from the book.  You get to have the Fiber Sweep as your mid-morning snack and water.  At lunch you'll have the Vanilla Refresh Shake with a serving of veggies, fruit and good fat.  For Dinner the Vanilla Fresh Shake with a meal choice from the nutritional booklet!!  You can drink green tea and water but avoid all processed foods, canned fruits and veggies, sweeteners and dairy.  You are truly cutting back to the basic to cut the bloating and help you lose weight!!




Then from there we will head straight into learning how to keep your success of the 3 Day Refresh and start clean eating and drinking Shakeology every day for 30 days!  The awesome part is that the 3 Day Refresh and Shakeology Pack is ON SALE this month...AND, better yet, it comes with a FREE 30 DAY TRIAL OF BEACHBODY ON DEMAND!!!  So that means for the length of our group you can workout to your choice of 11 Beachbody Fitness programs right from your laptop, iPad, phone, computer, any mobile device!!

March Madness ISN'T Just For Basketball... It's March Madness, Shakeology Style!

I'm not sure how many of you are college basketball fans, but growing up in Kansas with a brother who lives, eats, sleeps basketball...March brought on an entirely new form of MADNESS in and of itself!  It was the epitome of "March Madness" in my house...and even though we are both grown and have families of our own, we ALL participate in our own little NCAA Basketball Fantasy Bracket!!
March Madness, Shakeology Style.  7 Days of Clean Eating, Shakeology, Meal Plan, Grocery List and support.  www.HealthyFitFocused.com
Shakeology 6 Flavors...Take Your Pic!

So...in HONOR of March Madness and the excitement this brings to SO many fans... I'm introducing:

MARCH MADNESS...SHAKEOLOGY STYLE!

So over the past 18+ months I've been changing my lifestyle, incorporating clean eating, fitness and Shakeology and also committed to holding myself and others accountable to goals that we have set!  I have noticed a HUGE difference in the way I feel on a daily basis, the energy I have, the way my clothes fit and overall, I just feel so much better.  I compare it to the way I feel when I fall off the clean eating bandwagon or the way I used to feel, sluggish, bloated, tired, and not confident in myself.

Smashing Green Shakeology

So you're thinking...what does March Madness and Shakeology have to do with any of this?!?!

Well...As I mentioned above, I started drinking Shakeology over 18 months ago.  This is something, that in the beginning, I was really excited to try, but honestly really nervous about the cost.  What if I don't like it, what if I don't feel any different drinking this, what if I love it and can't justify the cost?!?!  These were all thoughts that went on in my head, and quite honestly, are things I hear from people all the time!

But...let me tell you.  Since I started drinking Shakeology, the biggest difference I have noticed is that I no longer have that dreaded 2pm slump I used to get when I would reach for a 2nd cup of coffee mid-afternoon.  

Here's some things Shakeology has done for me:

  • I have more energy
  • I don't have as many cravings on a regular basis
  • I'm more regular
  • It keeps me full for 2.5 to 3 hours
  • It's SUPER delicious (and I make yummy treats with it).
  • It gives me countless vitamins, nutrients and super foods
  • Hair grows faster
  • Nails feel stronger
  • It's a super quick, easy meal I don't have to think about (honestly, as a mom...best thing ever!!)
Others have reported:
Cholesterol dropping
Blood pressure has lowered
People have been able to get off various medications
Improved skin
SAVING MONEY because they're no longer eating out
The list goes on and on...

Some people are hesitant to try an entire bag of Shakeology for fear that they may not like it or feel the difference, well I've got a MARCH MADNESS SPECIAL for you to "try it out" for 6 days...all 6 flavors, so you can know how each of them taste, feel the difference it makes drinking it for 6 days along with clean eating and then make your decision.

I'm hosting a 7 Day March Madness Shakeology and Clean Eating Group!!  

Starting on March 30th, we will be starting a 7 day Shakeology sampler and clean eating group.  I will provide you with a clean eating meal plan for the entire 7 days, various recipes for Shakeology so you know how to make it and love it!  You'll receive the recipes and shopping list to make it simple for you to succeed!  You'll have snack ideas, daily tips and tricks for you as you are going through this new change of eating clean and drinking Shakeology!  Each day we'll all share our Shakeology recipe so you can get various suggestions on what you like!

March Madness - Shakeology Style!

I just finished a 10 Day Clean Eating group and the results were amazing...
the reports that have come in so far from ONLY 10 people, 
they've lost a combined total of 48 pounds!!!  
JUST from eating clean and exercising daily for 15-30 minutes in only 10 days...
it makes a difference when you change your nutrition!!!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!

I have no idea where the year has gone already.  We are close to half way through March...We've already had daylight savings and it's staying light longer, which means...Soon it will be SUMMER!!  The countdown is ON!!  There are roughly 12 more weeks until June 1st!  While that may seem like a lot, you KNOW it will fly by so fast and then all of a sudden you'll start to wonder where 2015 has gone and how it became summer already!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group


So in light of the fact that June is right around the corner, it's time to do some dirty work!  I don't know about you...but it's easy to settle into the "winter body" a little too much.  Even though I live in Southern California, I love to wear cozy clothes and bundle up (yes, I'm a wimp, I bundle up when it's 55 degrees outside)!!  But...I too, can fall into that winter body trap!

Well...the time is NOW to get up off your rear and start getting that body of yours ready for summer!
I know I'm getting more serious about my nutrition to make sure I'm ready to sport the bikini and shorts all summer long.

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group


Here's the deal.

  • It takes 21 Days to create HABIT and for YOU to see your body change.
  • It takes 8 weeks for your friends and family to see a change.
  • It takes 12 weeks for everyone else to see a change.

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group

12 weeks...Just in time for June 1st, tank tops, shorts, swimsuits!!  Are you ready to change or are you wanting to stay the same?

What's it going to take for you to get up and decide to make that change?  Have you tried on your shorts or bathing suit yet?  Or, are you afraid to?

I totally get it...I'm a busy mom of 3 kids.  I can easily use the excuse that my kids take up all my time to be able to focus on ME.  We've got soccer games galore, swim practice, basketball, school and church functions.  The whole shebang!!  But, you will thank yourself come summer if you take time out now to focus on you!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group

My goal is to HELP as many BUSY WOMEN as I can to give you the support and motivation to get you through these next 12 weeks so that when short and swimsuit season comes around, you are feeling confident and proud of your accomplishments!!  WHY NOT allow yourself to be happy and confident this summer and play outside in your shorts or suit with your kids!?!

On March 16th, I'll be kicking off my 
BUSY WOMEN Get Ready for Summer health/fitness Support and Accountability group!


This will be a group specifically for those who are ready to make a change and commit to their success!

Tell Me What's Required!!

21 Day Fix Extreme Week 2 Update and Meal Plan!

Wow!!  I can't believe that week 2 is already completed and I'm on to week 3!  It seemed to go super fast!
21 Day Fix Extreme Week 2 Update and Week 3 Meal Plan! 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan, www.HealthyFitFocused.com, Julie Little

With week 1 being so much of an adjustment week with new workouts and new moves, week 2 seemed to be much smoother and I was far less sore!  My body was getting accustomed to the workouts with weights and seemed to adjust better in week 2!

21 Day Fix Extreme Week 2 Update and Week 3 Meal Plan! 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan, www.HealthyFitFocused.com, Julie Little


I'm enjoying the workouts and really like adding the weights to it...it brings the level of fitness up a notch and I feel it really is working on areas that I haven't worked on in a while!  So, I'm really enjoying using the weights!

21 Day Fix Extreme Week 2 Update and Week 3 Meal Plan! 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan, www.HealthyFitFocused.com, Julie LittleI think I'm still adjusting some to the style of this workout.  I had just completed the 60 days of Insanity Max 30 and these are very different workouts...both are extreme workouts, but in my opinion, very

different.  So I'm adjusting to the difference in the 2 workouts!  Neither on is "better" or "worse" than the other...just different!

So I told you last week I was playing around with my nutrition for last week.  I still think I 'm trying to find the perfect fit for my nutrition and how I can be the most successful.  I think I'm even going to adjust my meal plan a bit this week as well.  Honestly I'm trying to really focus on when I have the biggest cravings, what it is that I'm craving and how to fuel my body at that time with nutritional foods vs reaching for the tortilla chips or the toast and peanut butter.

One other thing...I think I shared with you that peanut butter is my downfall...like SERIOUS downfall!!  So...one thing I did last week was GIVE THAT UP!  Now, is that necessary in order to follow the Extreme nutrition plan?  NO...but for me, that was a crutch!  I'd crave it and reach for it so therefore, I needed to get rid of it!  For whatever reason, my body just craved a spoonful of it...but now that I have it out of the house, I'm fine.  (And...no, I didn't throw away a full jar of it...we ran out anyways and I am just not going to buy more!).  I have decided to do almond butter instead.  I don't "crave" that like I did PB, so I am totally fine to just have a teaspoon like the nutrition guide calls for!

21 Day Fix Extreme Week 2 Update and Week 3 Meal Plan! 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan, www.HealthyFitFocused.com, Julie Little
Nutrition Matters!!
So, let me talk about my meal plan.  I am going super simple and "boring" so to speak...  I'm shredding it down to the bare minimum to make it easy.  I like to get all creative with my recipes sometimes, but that seems to "get me in trouble" at times because there's just too much involved.  (This is for when I'm really trying to focus in on my nutrition real strict that I need it "boring").  And by "boring" I mean that I am probably going to eat the same stuff everyday!

I'm also going to be skiing at the end of the week, so I am trying to make it as simple as possible so that I can eat what I need to when I can while I'm skiing.  Sometimes there's not much in the option department b/c I can't really carry all my food with me.  We bring our lunch, so that won't be a problem.  But, I may have to do a Lara Bar instead of some of my other snack options.

Also, what I did for this week was a major prep day.  On Sunday I was inspired by another coach who did a mass amount of prepping in ONE HOUR!!!  I was not that efficient but I hope to be.  I'm going to be doing another post entirely about prepping my meals for the week...stay tuned!!


Here's my meal plan for the week.  Like I said, it's pretty simple.

I'm a MOM, I'm a WIFE, I've never had a CAREER...But I'm a COACH!! Join me to INSPIRE OTHERS!!

I'm a MOM, I'm a WIFE, I've never had a CAREER, I have a DESIRE to help others and INSPIRE people, I'm NOT a fitness or nutrition expert...so...how did I become a coach???



It all started out with a desire to shed 5-10 pounds, get healthy and learn how to eat clean. I got plugged into a challenge group and got to work. I was very active in the group and soaked in all the support, the conversations, the accountability...all of it! Through this group I learned how important it was to have accountability and support on a daily basis along the journey and I fell in love with the support system I had around me. It was really starting to change my life and the confidence I had knowing I could get through this challenge and make this a lifestyle, not a "diet".

This Challenge Group was so impactful in my life, I decided I wanted to help others have the same success I was having in the group as well! So, the next step was to take that leap of faith and jump into being a coach so I could support others in their health and fitness journey. 



I honestly started out not knowing much about this whole health and fitness thing. I had a passion to learn and a desire to help others change their life. I wanted others to become healthy and feel better and have more energy...I'm a mom, I know how important it is to take care of yourself so that YOU can be around for your family and teach them to do the same thing! This started to become a HUGE passion for me as I saw women's lives being changed as they began to exercise and eat right! It's such a gift to be able to change the life not only of one person, but an entire family! It honestly gives me goosebumps thinking about it! That's when you KNOW you're doing what you love!!

Not only do I get to change women's lives thru health/fitness...BUT this is a HUGE door that has been opened to my family and I want to shout it from the rooftops for other MOMS just like me...

My goal is to be able to help moms find something they love to do. Help them to contribute to the family income, to pay for the "extras" like kids sports, school stuff, braces, etc. That's a huge burden for us moms... but guess what??? I have a SOLUTION!! I want to HELP YOU be able to pay for some of those "extras" in your family!

This is a unique opportunity for moms just like me to be able to work from home, get healthy, earn income (as much or little as you want) while you're home with your kids OR even if you have a day job, be your own boss and have all the flexibility you need and desire! Now, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal!

Are you a MOM looking for a solution to all the "extras" that you don't know how to pay for?? I want to help! I'm looking for 5 MOMS who are looking for this SOLUTION. I will mentor you 1:1 and help you get started right so that you can start paying down these extra things that never stop coming! I will train you and teach you what you need to do in order to be a successful coach! Are you ready?? If you would like more information or have interest please fill this out and I'll get back in touch with you. http://bit.ly/NewCoachJulie

This is truly a blessing!!  You will NOT be left alone to figure it out on your own...you'll get my support and guidance with a proven system that works!  I will match the speed of your pace!  I can't wait to work with you and start changing lives together.  What are you waiting for?  It your time!!


You will be placed in my 30 day New Coach Training group where you will learn the ins and outs about getting started, what to do and how to do it!  I will guide you through!!

Prep and Plan... 21 Day Fix Extreme & Meal Plan!

Wahoo!  This day is finally here!  The anticipation of the 21 Day Fix Extreme has been huge over the last number of weeks!  Well, my copy came last week in perfect timing as I was finishing up my 60 days of Insanity Max:30.  (I'll update on that later)  So I finally had some time to sit down and plan for my first week of the 21 DF Extreme!

It is time to dig in and start planning!  I am going to be 100% honest with you.  My nutrition has been less than par during my 60 days of Insanity Max:30, I really was not proud of my results (or lack thereof!).  Mentally I was focused with the workouts but not at all with the nutrition...and it showed (or didn't).  So, I have decided to really give this my 100% commitment to the program and to myself!  Let's face it...I'm human, just like you, I have my "moments" that I'm not proud of and that I slip up on!!

BUT...I'm focused and ready to go, 100% all the way committed to the nutrition and fitness!  Really when it comes to committing to something it is a MENTAL game!  I truly believe this.  I know this makes a huge difference in my success, no matter what it is!  So I've mentally prepared myself to succeed...and telling myself I will succeed!

I prepped this weekend with my pictures and measurements taken.  I've shopped for all my groceries so that I know I have everything I need to be successful!!

So...let's get started!  My official start date is today, Monday...There are 2 different options in the nutrition guide that you can choose from.  The regular 21 Day Fix Extreme nutrition guide and then the Countdown to Competition.  This is an EXTREME nutrition plan.  Mentally...I'm not there yet!  I'm going to do the regular 21 DF Extreme nutrition to begin!!

I've prepared my meal plan for this first week...here it is!  I've made it simple to follow, simple recipes to ensure my success.  When I get "complicated" with my recipes then I tend to get messed up!  The other thing I have decided to use is an app tracker for the 21 Day Fix.  There are a few out there that you can take a look at.  For me...I decided to try this out.  I always have my phone with me, so that's not a problem.  If you don't want to buy an app, there are trackers you can print off from beachbody.com.

However...no matter how you track your nutrition, I highly encourage you to first make a meal plan.  I've found that the times I have the best success is when I've got a meal plan for the day (I make it a week at a time).  I know exactly what to eat and what not to eat.  I'm using my containers to make sure I have to correct sizes of each food.  Make sure you track your food, this WILL get you the best success possible!!

For the workouts, I'm starting off with a light and heavier pair of weights.  I'm starting with 5 lb weights and 8 lb weights.  I'll see if I need to adjust as time goes on.  I haven't used weights in my workouts for at least 60 days now, so I'm getting back into that!  I'm also going to be doing the 10 minute Hardcore (ab workout) 3 times a week!

21 Day Fix Extreme Nuts and Bolts... this is extreme fitness, extreme nutrition and you'll need to be focused and ready to commit to your nutrition and workouts!  You're not going to find cheats, treats or extra snacks on the 21 DF Extreme.  It is literally stripped down and you've got to be ready to push yourself to the extreme!  This will help you shed those last 10 lbs that everyone hates!!


Are you ready?  Would you like support and accountability as you go through this 21 Day Fix Extreme journey???  This is exactly what I do as a Team Beachbody Coach.  I will support you through this journey.  Help hold you accountable, motivate you and help you thru the nutrition and fitness program!  What are you waiting for?

Basically, a challenge group is an online private Facebook group used for daily motivation, support, and encouragement to help you reach your health and fitness goals and stay committed to the decision you've made to become healthy and fit.  You will receive daily motivation and tips to keep you encouraged and accountable.  This is a way to offer amazing peer-to-peer motivation and support with people who are going through the same fitness programs and changes as you!  Most importantly, the accountability this group brings is the KEY to your success!  Let's face it, it is hard to stay on track by yourself!  So why not join together with other people with the same goal of losing weight, getting in shape and becoming more healthy!

Which Fix for You? 21 Day Fix Original or 21 Day Fix Extreme?

Well, we are only 2 days away from the release of the 21 Day Fix Extreme!!!  On February 2, 2015, the 21 Day Fix Extreme will take the internet by storm!!  I'm super excited for the possibility of this program!  The Original 21 Day Fix was wildly popular and sold out within 48 hours of being released!  It has contented to be one of the most (if not the most) popular program...because it combines both your fitness and nutrition!  It's a combination of both, which is needed for success in your weight loss or any other kind of transformation you are looking for!

Then...because of the ever so popular 21 Day Fix and the results people were having with that...Autumn decided it was time to make a graduate program.  A more advanced and extreme program.  This was designed to be an extreme program, created for those who already have a baseline of fitness.  The 21 Day Fix Extreme is not a beginner program.  This is for people who have been through the 21 Day Fix or who have completed other extreme workouts or for those who already have a baseline of fitness!  It will take you to the next level in your fitness and nutrition.  Autumn is not playing around here.  It's an extreme program meant for extreme results!

So...here's the deal!  This new 21 Day Fix Extreme is NOT for everyone, and I recognize that!  So, I want to make sure that EVERYONE has a place to be plugged into this month.  Whether you are more intermediate/advanced in your fitness OR if you are just beginning your fitness journey!!  There is a place for YOU to get accountability and support in order for you to reach your goals!

The question is... WHICH FIX FOR YOU?

I have 2 different accountability groups starting on February 9th in order to support YOU and YOUR GOALS!!  I am here to give you the support, accountability, motivation, meal plan ideas and tips that you need to get the success you want!!

Which Fix For You?, 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, www.HealthyFitFocused.com

Beginners/Intermediate Fitness Level - 21 Day Fix February 9th Group
I recommend you start out with the 21 Day Fix (Original) to get you started.  This will get you a baseline of fitness and nutrition in order to get you started in reaching your goals!  This teaches you the meal plan and gives you the knowledge you need for nutrition to continue a lifelong way of eating!  My goal is to help you succeed at this level first before you move on!

Intermediate/Advanced Fitness Level - 21 Day Fix Extreme Launch Group
If you're ready to take your fitness and nutrition to the next level then this is for you!  I recommend you have a good baseline of fitness.  Each workout uses weights and is not for the beginner!  This will be perfect for those who have done those more extreme programs.  There is a modifier in each workout, but she is still working hard!  This group will be designed to support you through this program and give you the guidance you need to make it through the 21 Days successfully!!
