How is Insanity Max 30 different from T25 or Insanity? Insanity Max 30 comes with 150 new moves, has a modifier with the option to keep him/her on the screen at all times, and is only 30 minutes a day 5 days a week!

It is going to be the toughest 150 new cardio and strength moves from Shaun T to get you ripped and toned in 60 days. It is broken into 2 30-day phases.

  Why is it called Insanity Max 30?

Shaun T chose this name because you are going to MAX OUT at some point during every single workout. He wants you to give it everything you have then when you have to take a break you have MAXED OUT. You take a quick break and keep going. The point is to have your time increase every time you do that particular workout!

What is a modifier?

A modifier is a person who is doing the workout in the DVDs, but is modifying the moves and not going as hardcore as Shaun T. Unlike in Insanity, Max 30 will have a modifier at all times. You will even have the option of having him/her on the screen at all times. So that means that you can do this workout and keep it low impact at the same time!

Will I need equipment for Insanity Max 30?

No! You will be using your own body weight just like in Insanity. I have had the pleasure of doing several of the Max workouts now and you definitely don't need weights. You will feel the burn and get toned!

Harvest your Hottie for Fall

How do you feel when you have accomplished something that you consider TOUGH?

These are the women I am looking for:

The ladies who think think that weight loss or confidence in their own skin is a very distant concept. The ones who think they have to feel uncomfortable forever because they “just can’t lose weight.”

I’m looking for them because I USE TO BE THEM!

Are you someone who would feel PROUD of YOURSELF if you were to drop 10-15 lbs? It is really not about the actual pounds as it is about you FEEL at your CURRENT weight---because you just don't feel good. 

Can you relate?

You need to join me in my November 3rd Challenge. Seriously. You do.

I was VERY doubtful that a HOME workout program would make me lose the inches I lost and more so I was doubtful that the stubborn number on the scale would move. BUT 21 days later- it did! It can be done. 

21 Day FIX is my VERY favorite program. WHY? It is short and sweet. You eat normal food. There is no confusion on what to eat with this program. You don't have to spend hours of prep time. It is SO simple. It is fun, especially when you combine it with a group of ladies doing the exact SAME thing! 

There are many other programs we can choose from for you too if you would rather do something different. No matter what program you choose, you will have one on one support with me, a FUN, private group to be a part of for constant support and motivation, nutrition tips and meal ideas, and you will tone, tighten, and lose weight before the holiday pictures. 

I am only accepting TEN women this time. 

We are starting on NOVEMBER 3rd… last day to get committed is October 29… so lets get you all set up!

The Holidays are right around the corner and we want to Harvest your Inner Hottie! So I am only taking the 10 most serious ladies! 

I want to use your before and better yet your AFTER pictures right here on my blog to encourage other women! 

Real Results from my last group!

Apply here to be a part of this group!

Tips for Moms Trying to Lose Weight

When I had my first child, no one told me what to expect after I had her. I guess I was naïve in thinking that everything on my body would go back to normal! I vividly remember standing in front of the mirror with breast pads in, looking at myself and crying because I couldn’t believe that this was how was going to look from now on. I had never exercised or ate right so I had NO idea where to start! BUT I knew I had to do something because between trying to juggle a newborn and sleep I just felt so depressed over my weight and my new body!

It is so hard to balance your new baby (or toddler) and weight, diet, and exercise! It is scary to get started because what if you fail, or what if you don't know how? There are so many what ifs. One thing I know for sure is, is that if you don't start you will never know what could be. So here are some tips I have figured out along the way to getting fit post kids. 

1.        Get an accountability buddy who will help to keep you motivated and keep you accountable to your diet and exercise. Get several buddies if you need them. If you are feeling like you want a cookie, text them and tell them and let them talk you out of it! This seriously works the best out of all my other tips. If I know someone is counting on me to be accountable then I am more likely to do it. I also treat it like a competition! I don’t want to break before anyone else, so I will keep going!

2.       If you need something sweet, make a healthier version of those desserts. There are tons and tons of recipes out there now. Pintrest is a great place to start, just type in clean eating desserts. That doesn’t mean that you can go crazy and have the whole pan. Remember to keep it small, but you won’t be eating bleached flour and refined sugar! 

3.       Get ALL of the junk out of your house. Yes, this means your special stash of stuff too! When you make the decision to lose weight this is a necessity. If it isn’t there then you can’t eat it. Replace all of the junk food with nutritious foods. So that way when you go to the refrigerator or the cabinet for a snack the only options are healthy foods. Some options are fresh fruit, veggies, low-fat popcorn, string cheese, etc.

4.       Schedule your workouts. This is so important so that way you don’t make excuses! Find what works for your schedule and your new baby. Also, try and remember that you are human. If you miss a workout it won’t kill you as long as you are working out 3 or more times a week you will benefit from it!

5.        Find an exercise that you love and run with it. There is so much variety out there to choose from that you can find something that will work for you. Exercise classes such as Zumba or TurboKick, in home DVDs, boot camps, or the gym. Find something that you love and you will never dread it.

6.       Find somewhere that you can take Mommy and baby fitness classes and then you don’t have the excuse of no babysitter.

7.        Journal everything you eat. If you bite, then write it because sometimes you just really need to see how much you are putting into your mouth so that you can realize how much you are eating. For me I grazed a lot all day long! Once I realized this through putting it into myfitnesspal I was able to nip the habit in the bud!

8.       Plan a cheat meal and a treat each week. This doesn’t mean 2000 calories at one meal or making the whole day a cheat day because you don’t want to undo a whole week worth of doing good! If you completely deny yourself you are more likely to fail then if you allow yourself to indulge once a week.

9.       Don’t reduce your calories too much. We have been led to believe that we need to workout more and eat less. That is really not the way to go. Your body needs calories especially if you are working out. You need a minimum of 1200 calories if you are just sitting around all day. So you want to aim for 1500-1800 of good nutritious calories each day. There is absolutely no reason to starve while trying to lose weight. If you eat nutritiously you will find that the weight comes off and you will not be starving!

If you are a mom new or old and are looking to lose weight, follow these tips outline above. If you need any help doing it please feel free to email me at fitnic13@aol.com as my coaching is always free!

Tips for those New to or Restarting Exercise

   Did you set your New Year's Resolution to lose weight and get healthy this year through exercise? Nervous about where to start? It can be so hard to find a good starting place when it comes to exercise. Many people are so ready that they go crazy doing it. You know what I mean right? Maybe you signed up for a gym membership and you are going 2 hours for 5 days a week for the first 3 weeks. Then your body is tired and you skip a day, the next thing you know you have skipped a whole month. Your New Year's Resolution is out the window before you barely started!

    How do you go about not letting this happen? You start out SLOW. Aim to exercise 3 days a week to begin. For instance for the month of January you dedicate just three days a week to some form of exercise. Walking, running, gym time, exercise video, or something of your choosing. Once the month of January is over and February comes around you will be used to working out those three days. You will have worked your schedule around it and found a way to fit it in.

    February is here now and you have figured out a way to add three days of exercise to your schedule. Now you just have to add one more day to equal 4 days of exercise per week. Once you have mastered this in March add one more day to equal 5 days. Now you have stuck with your resolution and you are working out more then you ever have most likely. You have stuck with it because you started slow. You didn't burn yourself out before you got started!

   Before you know it the weight will start to come and you will feel better!

Struggling to lose weight!

    Have you always been taught that you need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight? Has this left you struggling to follow a workout plan because all you can think about is food? This leaves you starving and then you binge. Then you think to yourself well I have blown my diet, so I will just eat what I want today and start over tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes you say well I will just start over Monday, right? Monday comes and you just don't have the energy to do the whole diet over again!

     I KNOW how this feels. It does not have to be this way! You can eat and lose weight. I know this sounds crazy because we have always been told to keep our calories low to lose weight. As long as you are working out you can eat more calories. You don't have to eat a bunch of nontasty foods. Do you have to eat healthy? Yes of course! Does it have to be stuff you don't like? NO!!!

     When I started my journey 4 years ago I had NO idea about how to eat healthy. Honestly, I thought eating healthy was a no carb diet! Which was so popular at the time. I tried that and did lose a little weight, but because I was exercising I was SO tired. I quit that and went back to eating the junk I had always eaten. I didn't get the results that I had planned on getting, BUT what happened was that I didn't quit exercising. It made me feel good, it made me feel healthy. What happened next is that I plugged in to communities of healthy people and did tons of research. I have learned so much along the way. How to eat clean and unprocessed foods as much as possible. How to do this slowly over time, so that you won't fail this time. I have lost 30 pounds by eating healthy, working out, and drinking Shakeology. I feel healthier than I have ever felt. My passion is to help people feel the same!

Does this sound like something that would benefit you? Have you tried losing weight and exercising but failed because the "diet" was just to hard? I know that feeling all to well. I have overcome it though and I would love to help you overcome it too! My new group starts on Jan 1. If you want to be a part of that and get support to help you lose this weight fill out this challenger application:

P90X3 will be here December 10th!

P90X3 will be here December 10th on sale for the month of December plus a FREE P90X3 hat when you order by signing up for a free account here!

P90X3

My very first Beachbody program was P90 and then P90X, although I have never done P90X2 I am super pumped for P90X3! Why am I so excited????

First, this program is NOT a graduate program. That means that if you have never done P90X or P90X2 it is totally okay and you can do P90X3! Secondly, all 20 workouts are 30 minutes! BOOM! This is awesome compared to the long workouts of P90X which could be an hour and fifteen minutes long. Who has time for that? I know since I am a busy mom I certainly do not have time for that. I LOVE Tony Horton though, he is funny during the workouts and serious about fitness. 30 minutes is going to be perfect for me as a busy Mom!

I will be running a P90X3 test group of my own. What does this mean? You buy the challenge pack on december 10- December 31 and you will be placed in my exclusive P90X3 test group. You will be among the first people to try the program and see the results YOU get from the program. I will provide accountability and support for you and the other participants in my challenge group daily as well as weekly phone calls to keep you on track. If this sounds like something that would benefit you please sign up for a free account here and email me at fitnic13@aol.com with subject line "P90X3 test group". Group will be starting January 1st, just in time to meet those New Year's resolutions!

Tony says, "You know what I keep hearing lately? "Tony, your programs are awesome, they make me look incredible. But an hour every day? Come on . . .!!! I get it. You want the results, and you're willing to do the work, but your freakin' schedule is jam-packed."

So what did he do about this? He took everything he learned from P90X and P90X2 and coupled it with new science that shows intense 30 minute workouts can get you in better shape faster and slammed it all into overdrive! The results? Short, targeted, intense workouts that take just 30 minutes--but leave you looking like you'be been tearing it up in the gym all day, every day.

Results from the P90X3 Test Group:

Seeing the results from the test group completely sold me on this program. I know 30 minutes is something that is total doable with my schedule, but I also know that it is going to totally kick my butt too. The results in these pictures just go to show you that 30 minutes can be effective. As a matter of fact all but one of the test group participates lost 10% of their body fat in the 90 day program. Isn't that amazing?? 10% is a lot, wouldn't it be phenominal to get these results?

What will you need for P90X3? 

Tony said NO running shoes of any kind because these will actually hurt your feet. He says go for cross training, volleyball, or babsketball shoes. The reason is that you will be moving laterally and all around not just forward like in running, and these types of shoes will give you the support you need while keep your feet protected!

Ordering P90X3

Sign up here for a free account and I will send you a reminder email on December 10th. P90X3 will be available by itself or in a Challenge Pack (P90X3 + Shakeology + nutrition plan + a 30 Day Club Membership with Meal Planning Tools) on December 10, 2013. IT WILL BE AT A SALE PRICE!! It will be $180 for December and back up to $205 after December 31, 2013.

If you order through me, or your existing Beachbody coach, by December 31st, you’ll also receive a free 1-on-1 leg workout DVD by Tony and a P90X3 hat. (Sign up for first access to P90X3 through a email reminder) www.teambeachbody.com/msfroggie7

I’ll also be doing P90X3 with a small test group starting January 1st, so if you want in the group please let me know now so I can save you a spot! Email me at fitnic13@aol.com with the subject line “P90X3 Challenge Group”

Goal Setting for Weight Loss or Fitness Results

    I was reevaluating my goals this morning and trying to figure out what I need to do to reach my next set of goals. This got me thinking about goals and why we should set them. Wikipedia defines goals as "a desired result a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve a personal or organizational desired end point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines."

   So why set goals for weight loss? Goals are important for any tasks in life, but essential in weight loss. Why though? Because it helps to keep you accountable to yourself and what you want. I didn't know this 5 years ago when I begin my weight loss/fitness journey. If I had, I think that I would have reached my goal much sooner then I did.

   When setting your goals for weight loss, you have to be specific with it. For example, I wanted to lose 20lbs when I first started my journey, but I didn't set a specific time frame and therefore it took me several years just to lose 20 lbs. I did it without a deadline. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't have a specific time frame in mind so therefore I didn't push myself or hold myself accountable to my end goal. I have finally reached my end result of losing 30 lbs, but took me much longer then desired.

    When I started a new weight loss support group. I always ask the challengers to set a goal weight loss and a time frame. If we started today and they wanted to lose 10 lbs I would ask them to pick a time frame they wanted to lose this weight by. Some say by the end of the challenge or within 45 days which would be the half way point. I help to hold them accountable to their goal.

    When you want to lose weight set a goal, and be specific with it. Say I want to lose ____ lbs by ____ date and be realistic. You won't lose 50 lbs in a month, but you could in 6 months! Set miniature goals to achieve larger weight loses. If it is 50 lbs say I will lose 10 lbs by 30 days from now. Next step, write it down on several sticky notes or pieces of paper and put it in places where you will see it everyday. For example, on the pantry, the refrigerator, the bathroom mirror, the dashboard of your car, your desk at work, and any place where you will see it often! It helps to see it so when you want to sneak that cookie and you see that note, it will help to hold you accountable to your goal and the time frame in which you want to reach it.

    Do you need help to reach your goal weight? Do you need help setting those goals? Follow me at www.facebook.com/nicolemcduffiesfitness and message me there or at fitnic13@aol.com. My coaching is always free! I would love to help get you started on reaching your dream weight and goals!
