Here’s What You Need To Know:
This challenge is not based on a quick fix but instead it is carefully designed to help you start and build a solid momentum into the holiday season while providing you an educational experience that lasts you a lifetime!
If you have been following me for a while or that you’re new to my page, I don’t believe we should be restricted from eating what we love and it is just as important to be intentionally honoring our body with movement that we love.
I also believe every woman should be educated and empowered on how to fuel their body properly, as it is the most effective and efficient way to see results from all the hard work they’re putting in.
This challenge is going to be filled with education and motivation; I am 100% committed to running this challenge alongside you by sharing workout videos, useful tips, and recipe ideas both inside the Private Facebook Challenge Group and on Instagram.
Note: I only do these challenges a few times per year, so if you’re wanting to move right alongside me EVERY DAY for 4 weeks – now is your time to do it with me!!!
Who Is This Challenge For?
Anyone! Grab a friend or two and commit to honoring your body for 30 days with movement, macros and mindset and see where it takes you!
What Do You Get Inside The Challenge?
Customized Macro Calculations: After completing a questionnaire form that’s sent to you after your purchase, you’ll get step-by-step guide with details on how I’ve calculated your macros. It will include protein, carbs, and fat; suggested number of meals and snacks to eat daily; as well as fiber and water intake recommendations. (Note: These macros will last you longer than 4 weeks, so you’ll still be able to follow them post-challenge too!)
Challenge Manual: This 40+ page informative e-book filled with helpful tips and practical advice on getting started – from learning how to meal plan and prep, going out to eat, how to use macro tracking apps, reading a nutritional label, to monitoring your progress you’ll learn everything you need to know to be successful in this challenge!
4-Week Workout Program: This resistance program is designed for women to perform at either the gym or home.
It will consist of 5 weekly circuit training style workouts/week designed to maximize your body’s ability to burn fat while building lean muscle! These workouts are perfect for all levels, lasting around 40-50 minutes, so you can get them done with no excuses! =)
Equipment Requirements: Dumbbells; Resistance Bands With Handles and/or Loop Bands; Hip Resistance Bands (like Booty Pump Bands here); Step: Bench, Chair, or Box.
* I would suggest having a couple sets of dumbbells ranging from 5-40 lbs (depending on your fitness level) to ensure that you’re challenging yourself!
** Loop Bands/Resistance Bands With Handles are a great way to mimic what a gym cable machine can do. If you need to get some, I suggest getting these as they are affordable and high-quality.
7-Day Jumpstart Meal Plan: This can be the hardest part for people so I wanted to create a 7-day meal plan sample (with over 12+ delicious recipes) that will include a grocery lists, meal prep calendars and important tips you should know about. (You may want to make some tiny adjustments to fit your personal macros and/or dietary restrictions – but it will still be a great resource for you!)
Facebook Community Group: You’ll gain access to a private community group of other like-minded individuals for inspiration, support, and accountability! If you don’t have Facebook, that’s okay – I’ll be cheering you on if you post on Instagram by using either one of these hashtags: #HYBC or #honoryourbodychallenge!
Weekly Prizes: Prizes will be randomly selected to those encouraging other challengers and building up the community, tagging me in their stories (because I want to see and jump in to cheer you on) using #HYBC and #honoryourbodychallenge.

NO! These workouts can be easily modified depending the level of fitness that you are!
