The Transformation Challenge that perfectly welcomes 2021 into our lives!
Happy New Year! I am beyond thrilled that we are bringing in the 2021 together! The first thing I want to say regarding this challenge is - USE THE ACCOUNTABILITY WhatsApp group and COACHING CALLS. I promise that they will push you to the next level and they are the real game changers. Allow me and the rest of the tribe support you!
This BTC is definitely the most thought provoking challenge that I have ever planned out as there are 3 components for every single day: 1. The Workout 2. The Mindfulness Task 3. The Physical Task.
The workouts are designed extremely carefully in order to create a gradual escalation that is also extremely effective. This is me saying - stick to the plan as it is.
Every day you will have 3 videos dripped to you: the workout together with me, a very short video regarding mindfulness and how to increase it in your daily life and a short video regarding physical health and taking baby steps in order to enhance it.
There is a Week-1 pdf download already available to you both here and on the Day 1 section and the Week-2 will be available when we get to Day 8.
The challenge can absolutely be completed if you are a - beginner/intermediate/advanced/bodybuilding gym dude/pregnant lady/postpartum mama (with the doctor's ok).
PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ CAREFULLY IF YOU PLAN ON DOING THE CHALLENGE FOR REAL. WARNING: WE ARE NOT SIMPLY GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.
I will also share with you that, as per usual, my eating (especially during a challenge) is very clean and based on my Fit Kitchen program so my coffee is black, most of the time, the sugar and flour are very scarce and my protein is on the rise.
