Core De Force Mixed Martial Arts Workouts

Do you get as excited about new workout programs as I do? 

Do you want to feel like you can conquer just about anything when you are finished?

Then CORE DE FORCE is for you! 

This program hasn't even been released yet but I'm just BLOWN away by the test group results!! 

Awesome, right?

CORE DE FORCE is the first program from our newest Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews. You may remember them from Les Mills Pump and Combat. I loved both of those formats and Joel and Jericho quickly became 2 of my favorite trainers! 

How does it work?

It has a unique approach! Each workout is broken into 3-minute “rounds” — just like a real boxing match. In those 3 minutes you’ll alternate between Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai-inspired combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes that kick your fat burn into overdrive. Let me tell you... those cardio spikes are NO JOKE!! Every move you do whether it is punching, kicking or whatever is designed to target your core. All you need to do is focus on 3 minutes at a time and before you know it — you’re done! It's crazy how fast the workouts go by!

Who is it for?

This program is for anyone — whether you’re a beginner or you’re more advanced. There’s an awesome modifier in every workout and Joel and Jericho break the moves down at a slower pace to help you master them before you go all in and pick up the pace. 

What's Included?

CORE DE FORCE includes 4 MMA-style workouts, 2 bodyweight workouts, 2 core workouts, 1 active recovery workout, 1 quick before-bed stretch routine, a quick-start guide, a 30-day calendar, and an eating plan for $59.85.

Have you tried it?

Actually, YES!! Today all Beachbody On Demand members were given the opportunity to try the workout BEFORE it is released in November. The workout I did was MMA Speed and it was AMAZING! My boyfriend and I did it together which was super fun and we finished a sweaty mess. We both found it challenging and fun! Here's the Facebook post I shared right AFTER we finished! 

This is a program everyone can do — and it’s a blast! So sign up here to be "in the know" as soon as its released AND to make sure you have a spot in my November Core De Force Test Group!! 

Some People Dream of Success...

The only way to reach a goal is to work for it. 

It will take sacrifice and perseverance, determination and discipline. 

At times it will be hard and frustrating. 

Everyone who had ever tried to achieve something big has felt like giving up... 

The difference between those that make it, is that they do it... Regardless of how it feels, regardless of the setbacks and frustrations. 

They do what it takes. 

They put one foot in front of the other. 

They never give up.

Be the person that never gives up. 

When I started my journey I was NOT in the best shape!! I was 50+ pounds over weight. I had a LONG journey ahead of me and even though I am in such a better place, physically and emotionally (and financially), I am still learning about fitness and nutrition and continuing to set and reach new goals. 

I am NOT a fitness professional or a nutritionist, but I am someone who has been through the ups and downs of a weightless journey. And I am still working to be better than I was yesterday, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!

If you need support as you travel this journey, message me or reach out on Facebook!

Never Miss a Monday...

Getting started is sometimes the biggest challenge. You need to just make yourself push play. 

You won't regret getting your workout done. But not getting it in will mess with your mind. 

Stay positive. Work hard. Focus on the goal. And... 

Does Muscle Weigh More Than Fat?

I see people posting a lot that muscle weighs more than fat!!

NO!! It does not!! 

We live on earth and everything has the same gravitational pull... a pound is a pound... 

BUT... muscle is more DENSE than fat and therefore it takes up LESS SPACE than fat... 

So when you are working out and you are lifting weights and you don't see the scale moving... DON'T get discouraged! 

You need to look at your measurements... because odds are, you are shrinking!

You Are Meant for Greater Things

Cafe Mocha Shakeology Bites

Okay... I've been going on and on and on about these Shakeology balls (which some people like to call bites) to my friends.... But here's the skinny. These are the best ones ever.... Here's how you make them: 

1/2 cup chocolate vegan Shakeology
1/2 cup cafe latte ☕ Shakeokogy
1 cup almond butter
1 cup old fashioned oats
6 Tbsp raw honey
A little water to ease mixing... But just a little.

I ended up with 21 using my "large melon baller scoop thingy"... If course I had to eat the one that made my number odd for a taster and it was sooooo good!!

If you are following the portion fix container system 2 bites counts as 1💛 and 1💙

Let me know what you think!!

Pain is Temporary...

Everyday you show up is another day closer to your goals.

Fit Mom Opportunity!!

I am looking for 10 mom's/women who are sick and tired of their current jobs/life situations and KNOW they are destined for more.

Individuals who live healthy lives or are working toward living one. Moms who want to be able to contribute to their families while having the flexibility to work from home and be present in their children and spouses lives.

7 years ago I was living on borrowed money. I had $20,000 in credit card debt, plus another $20,000 in student loans, I was working on my elementary teaching certification and NOT in the best shape. The kicker is I complained about this daily but had no plan on fixing it. I didn't like complaining, but I didn't know what to do about it...

UNTIL one day I decided I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was tired of figuring out which bills to pay on which day so that my account wouldn't overdraw. I was tired of feeling the heaviness of DEBT. I was tired of not tucking my kiddos into bed at night, I was tired of looking in the mirror and hating the person that stared back at me. I decided to make a decision that would dramatically change my life forever.

I started this part time "online coaching" thing that I would do from my phone and a laptop - I would start working after kids were asleep and before they would wake up in the morning. At first I wasn't sure how this was all going to pan out (Actually considered quitting a months into it) BUT I KNEW that I was super passionate about it, it was fun, I was able to do it part time so it wouldn't take more time away from my family, and if I truly wanted something different I needed to do something different. I will NEVER have to worry about finances again. I don't worry about debt or how to do things.

You have complete control over how and when you do this business -- late at night? During lunch break? From your cell phone if you want - YOU create your own schedule - YOU set your own goals!

I'm now accepting 10 new interns where I'll teach you my step by step SIMPLE system on how I grew my online business and how my awesome team is growing theirs.

*NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY**This opportunity is only for non-coaches and those not already working with a coach!

If you'd like to join my "Internship" and see if this is a great fit for YOU, then comment below "interested" or message me or email me at kford924@gmail.com.

Feeling Inspired....

I started a new workout program on last Monday and also kicked off a short 10-Day Core Challenge group... 

Let me just say... 

There are a lot of peeps from my team that are going the new program together and I ❤ it so much!! 

I see their posts and sweaty selfies and we talk about how hard it is but how good we feel and I am just INSPIRED!!! I am inspired to keep pushing play at 4:30am. I am inspired to eat according to my plan... No cheats!! As of now (Sunday morning) I've lost 5.2 lbs. I will be taking new measurements and photos tomorrow. I can't wait to see the changes happening! 

And then my Core challenge is a whole other group and these people are KILLING it!! 

They are SORE... Trust me... SUPER SORE!! 

And they keep pushing, keep working, and they keep inspiring each other!! 

I am so happy inside my ❤ because I am a part of this! I am part of the reason these people are connecting to each other... I am surrounded by motivating, positive people that are working to be better than they were yesterday. 

And that is just awesome.

Make THIS Year The Most AMAZING Year!!

I am a goal setter. I do not believe in resolutions as they are often forgotten before the end of the week. 

I like to look at where I want to be in a year, or 5 years, or even 10 years and then create a plan of action that will help me get there. 

I usually start around mid-December writing things down and by the end of the month I have a pretty clear plan. 

I don't worry about failing, because unless I absolutely give up.... I will achieve what I've set out to. 

How do you handle the new year? 

Do you set resolutions? If so, have you been successful in achieving them?
