3 Secrets to AWESOME Abs

The #1 question I hear as a BeachBody coach is, "How can I get a 6 pack?" I know this was my first first thought when I started the BB programs. ESPECIALLY after having an almost 13 lb. baby that turned my once trim belly into mushy bowls of jello....
Yes, Ab RipperX, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Abs will all get you nice muscle form BUT there is something even more important than these ab routines.... FOOD INTAKE! (are you seeing a pattern here) 80-90% of your game will be how/what/when you are eating

So, I'm going to reveal 3 of the BIGGEST secrets to trimming down your whole body and especially that pesty mid-section.



1) Eat breakfast like a King/Queen. Lunch like a Prince/Princess. And dinner like a pauper (with 2 snacks in between).

Always eat the bulk of your food intake by 3:30 pm and you will feel energized and regal :)



2) NEVER eat within 3 hours before bedtime.

I know many folks who have lost weight simply but cutting out that evening snacking- a killer!


3) Always eat 20-35 grams of lean protein each meal- (that's right, 5 times per day)

Depending on your level of activity you can play with the amount but NEVER below 15 grams. Visit "Michi's Ladder" top 3 tiers for lean protein ideas.


These are 3 simple and POWERFUL solutions to getting a lean, trim body fast!
Here is our Renegade secret~ Jake and I do not do ab routines everyday, or even every week but we are SOOO adamant about what how we fuel our bodies we are able to keep healthy, trim bellies :)






















Here's to your AWESOME abs, go get em!

Muck Your Coop!

Every good farmer knows that in order for happy hens to lay little morsels of golden creations, she/he simply must muck the coop.

Yea, its a nasty job. BUT.... if you want to scramble up a healthy helping of farm fresh eggs, you've gotta just do it.

So, not all of us are blessed (some would think crazy) enough to let these little critters take over our yards. But we can all gleam a morsel of wisdom from these seemingly mindless creatures;

In order to produce wonderful creations in our lives, we must muck out the old and take in the new!

What are you doing to muck your coop? Are your old eating habits keeping you from the yolk of your life?

Muck it! That's right, throw it right out! Waltz right into that kitchen like the Queen/King you are and take back your life (sounds dramatic... that's because it IS)

You're that awesome that you deserve to living/eating clean today! Liberate your mind from the daunting task of wrestling that possessed Twinkie box back into the cubbard- muck em!

Rip open your refrigerator and grab hold of that nasty processed junk that's taking up space AND that could be housing healthy, whole foods that will fuel your life for greatness!

Wrap all that stuff up and toss it in the trash for good! Don't muck up your mind with unnecessary struggle. Set yourself up for success by filling your cabinets and fridge with whole and healthy foods...


What foods you ask? Well, it just so happens that I took a snapshot of my cubbards and look what lives in mine.....


Oh yea! Shakeology (sitting pretty next to my favorite almond butter. They happily co-exist in both cubbard and blended shakes ;)
