Barre Blend – Challenge Group Guides

Welcome to the Barre Blend Challenge Group Guide

A Note to Coaches

Your challengers are getting ready to start a transformational journey of self-expression, confidence, and FUN! Barre Blend is about stretching and strengthening your body as well as your mind, and it’s a powerfully effective workout that will make you sweat as much as it will make you smile. With you as their leader, your challengers are sure to make progress toward their health and fitness goals.

As their Coach, you’ll want to encourage your challengers to commit to the entire 60-day Barre Blend program. Although people tend to be more consistent when they do their workouts in the morning, there’s no wrong way to do Barre Blend. As long as they get their workouts done and stay active in your Challenge Group it’ll be a great experience for everyone.

The most important thing for you as a Coach is to stay engaged with your challengers. Celebrate, motivate, and encourage them to do their best all the way through. You have the chance to create a super-supportive, judgment-free community. Share your own journey and ask them to share with the group.

It’s your passion and enthusiasm that will help everyone succeed!

BARRE BLEND PREP WEEK, DAY 1

US

Welcome to our Barre Blend Challenge Group! Who’s ready to sweat, stretch, and strengthen their entire body? Iâm so excited you chose to join me for this fun, empowering, and effective program. We’re going to support each other as we find our bliss and make our muscles burn!

During this Prep Week, I’ll talk more about what makes Barre Blend so special and what you can expect over the 60 days. You’ll also hear me talk a lot about your nutrition, because it’s essential for getting your best results! That’s why I recommend Shakeology. It’s a delicious superfood nutrition shake with a blend of premium proteins, pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, adaptogens, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that helps give your body what it craves to be healthy.* There are tons of great recipes so you’ll never get bored with your daily shake. Check out these Top 10 Recipes

PRO TIP: You can use this Wellness Log to keep track of when you drink your Shakeology and how it makes you feel on a day-to-day basis. It’s really cool!

The other nutritional support I recommend is Beachbody Performance, specifically Energize and Recover. These two supplements are designed specifically to help you perform your best during workouts and recover more quickly between them.*

BARRE BLEND PREP WEEK, DAY 2

What makes Barre Blend so special? It helps you create a lean, toned physique through a fun fusion of ballet barre, Pilates, and cardio interval training. As a former professional dancer and current fitness instructor, Elise knows how to design the very best barre workouts that also get amazing results! Barre Blend is a great low-impact, high-energy program that can help you get a total-body transformation.

Here’s how the Barre Blend program works:

You’ll do 5 workouts a week over 8 weeks. It’s an ideal schedule for optimal results.
The workouts start at 30 minutes and progress up to 40 minutes for a bigger challenge as you get leaner, stronger, and fitter.
Elise designed Barre Blend in 4 phases, changing up the moves and level of difficulty every 2 weeks to make sure you keep seeing results.

Have you found the Barre Blend program on Beachbody On Demand yet? Once you log in, you should see the Barre Blend tile on your homepage. Or you can navigate to Workouts (top menu) and find the Barre Blend program tile in the workout programs library. Just click through and you’ll see the Overview, Workout List, and Program Materials sections. All of the content is available in English, Spanish, and French.

One thing that makes this program so unique is the “I AM” Daily Motivation Cards. Elise created these powerful cards with her best uplifting and life-changing motivational phrases to help you get inspired and set a positive intention every single day. She pulls a new card before every workout, and you can use that one as your daily affirmation. Or you can choose your own card. There are so many different ways to use them! Here are some more ideas for how to use your cards:

Choose one card every morning when you wake up to create a positive mindset and purpose for the day.
Shuffle the cards and pull one at random any time you want to feel more intentional.
Write your own daily affirmation on the 5 blank cards to create your own motivations.

These cards help you stay mindful and invest your energy where it matters most!

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to look at the Get Started Guide, which gives you an overview of the Barre Blend program. That’s where you’ll find the Workout Calendar, so you know what workout to do each day. And the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition is a great starting point for learning how to eat better, with delicious recipes and expert advice, plus tips for integrating Shakeology and Beachbody Performance supplements into your routine.

Today’s To-Do’s:

Try the “20-min Classic Full Body Blend” workout in the Barre Blend Workout List on Beachbody On Demand. Then come back and let us know how you did!
If you haven’t already done so, review the Get Started Guide in the Barre Blend Program Materials on Beachbody On Demand.

If you have any questions, post them in the comments below.

Tomorrow, I’ll share more about how this Challenge Group will work. See you then!

BARRE BLEND PREP WEEK, DAY 3

Welcome to prep day 3!

Today I want to talk about how I’ve structured our Challenge Group:

Coach Tip

Explain how specifically you have structured the group: how you’re following the Workout Calendar, when you plan on posting to the group, etc. You should encourage your challengers to drink Shakeology every day, even on days they don’t work out.

Now is a good time to take your “before” photos and measurements. I know it can feel a little scary, but that’s how you’ll track your progress and see how far you’ve come! And if you keep track of your photos, weight, and measurements throughout the program, you can enter the Beachbody Challenge once you’re done by visiting BeachbodyChallenge.com. When you enter and submit your results, you’ll also receive a free gift (while supplies last) to celebrate your success. The website also has great tips on how to take those photos and measurements, so go check it out.

Do you have the right equipment for your Barre Blend workouts? Here’s what you’ll need:

Light dumbbells: Most people use from 1 to 3 pounds, depending on their strength and fitness level. You can use up to 5-pound weights if you’re more advanced.
Beachbody Resistance Loops: These are optional, but Elise uses them to ramp up the intensity—and the burn!
Beachbody Barre Socks: These are also optional, but they help you grip the floor better so you can improve your form. You may find them helpful if you work out on a hard surface.

If you’re missing any equipment, let me know and I can help you get what you need! Also, make sure you’re stocked up on Shakeology and Beachbody Performance supplements.

Today’s To-Do’s:

Try the “20-min Cardio Blend” workout in the Barre Blend Workout List on Beachbody On Demand.
Make sure you have your equipment and supplements ready to go.
Share some motivation with the group. We need all the support we can get!

BARRE BLEND PREP WEEK, DAY 4

Let’s talk about nutrition.

The best way to get the results you want from Barre Blend is by making sure your nutrition is on point. The Beachbody Guide to Nutrition is a great tool to get you started. I know meal prep requires a little time and energy, but honestly, taking an hour or two to shop and prep my meals makes a HUGE difference for me during the week! I’m never without healthy options and I can focus on the things that matter. If you’re new to meal prepping, your Beachbody Guide to Nutrition has tips that are perfect for beginners. Check it out!

If you’re really serious about losing weight, you might want to try either 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix, the premium nutrition programs from Beachbody. If you haven’t chosen one yet, here’s a quick overview of each:

2B Mindset focuses on eating healthy, satisfying meals, so you can lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived. Co-created by Ilana Muhlstein, MS, registered dietician nutritionist (RDN), this video-based system is designed to help you overcome emotional eating and build a healthy relationship with food. Ilana shows you how a positive mindset and real-world strategies can lead to lasting weight loss. A lot of people have called this program a total game-changer because it finally helped them get control of their struggles with food.

Ultimate Portion Fix features color-coded portion-control containers that take the guesswork out of eating perfectly sized meals every time. Created by nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese, Ultimate Portion Fix helps you take control over food with over 30 short “how-to” videos, 300+ recipes, food lists, plus powerful eating strategies and diet hacks to make meaningful, long-term weight loss achievable. You’ll get a custom nutrition plan and a choice of three paths that work with your lifestyle. For many people this program is a “key tool” to help them with long-term, achievable weight loss.

I know it’s a lot to think about, so if you have any questions about which nutrition plan is best for you, just let me know and I’ll help you out!

Today’s To-Do’s:

Go food shopping and do your meal prep so you’re prepared for the upcoming week.
Get your workout space ready. Do you have a barre, sturdy chair, or countertop with enough space around it?
Have your dumbbells, Beachbody Resistance Loops, and Beachbody Barre Socks ready to go.

Tomorrow is day one, and I can’t wait! See you then!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, CLASSIC FULL BODY BLEND 1

Welcome to the official start of Barre Blend! Are you ready to find the magic within? Your first workout is Classic Full Body Blend. It’s designed to help you tone, chisel, and define your whole body.

Make sure you drink your Shakeology to get started off right. What flavor are you drinking? My personal favorite is [COACH: ADD YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR HERE].

There’s a recipe for Strawberry Banana Blueberry Shakeology that sounds insanely delicious on page 87 of the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition. Let us know what you think if you try it!

Did you pull an “I AM” Daily Motivation Card today? Share what your card says and what that means to you!

Come back here after your workout and tell us how you did!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, BOOTY BLEND 1

US

How are you feeling after yesterday’s workout? A little sore? That’s perfectly normal. Taking Beachbody Performance Recover after your workouts can help speed muscle recovery;* that’s why it’s recommended! Let me know if you want more info.

Today’s workout is Booty Blend 1. You’ll start to lift and shape your glutes using small, controlled movements, isometric holds, and high reps. You know this one’s going to burn so good! If you’re feeling brave, add your Resistance Loops and follow the intensifier!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, CARDIO BLEND 1

Here comes Cardio Blend! This high-energy class is sure to get your heart pumping as you burn calories and strengthen and tone all over. Gulp your Energize and let’s do this!

We’re halfway through the first week. How’s your nutrition so far? Did you meal prep? Tell us why or why not. If you’re having trouble, comment below and I’ll try to help you figure out some strategies. Nutrition is so important to getting the results you want, and I’m here to help you succeed!

Did you notice the bonus 10-Minute Enhancement workouts listed in your Get Started Guide? You can add these on to any workout for extra-targeted toning. If you feel like it, try one of them today after your cardio workout and see what you think. You can find these workouts in the Workout List on Beachbody On Demand.

If you do a bonus workout today, share your experience in the comments below!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, CORE BLEND 1

Today’s workout is Core Blend. Have you SEEN Elise’s abs? Amazing! This workout will sculpt your entire core while strengthening and toning the rest of your body at the same time.

Did you look at the recipes in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition? They taste good and are really easy to prepare, like the Sweet Potato Tofu Scramble recipe on page 56. Try it for yourself!

You’ve worked hard all week. I’ll bet you’re really feeling it by now, so let’s give each other some love and encouragement. Post an uplifting message to the group!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, LEAN LEGS BLEND 1

Let’s end this week strong with a leg-focused workout. Your muscles will be shaking and quaking by the time you finish this one. It really targets your glutes, hamstrings, and thighs.

Who’s been using their “I AM” Daily Motivation Cards? I pull a new one every morning to set a positive intention for my day. This morning I got “I AM Fearless.” Wow! Such a powerful message heading into the weekend.

What Daily Motivation Card did you pull? How much better is your day when you start with a positive mindset?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, REST AND REPLENISH

You made it through five workouts! Awesome job! Today is your first Rest & Replenish day. You can choose to replenish your mind and body without doing a workout, or you can do one of the Yoga Blend workouts or any (or all) of the 10-Minute Enhancement workouts from the Barre Blend Workout List on Beachbody On Demand.

Elise believes that taking time to properly recover is an important component of living up to your full potential. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you won’t be your best unless you refill your energy. She advocates slowing down and taking a moment of contemplation to silence the noise of daily life so you can give your attention to the things that really matter.

What are you doing today to replenish?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 1, REST & REPLENISH

Happy Sunday, everyone! It’s another rest day, but I really recommend doing the Roll & Replenish workout. This one helps replenish your tired muscles with a foam roller to reduce soreness and help speed recovery.

Have you done your grocery shopping for next week? Planning is half the battle, but it leads to great rewards! So make sure to stock up on healthy foods that give you energy for your workouts—and life. And don’t forget to do some meal prep. Even just cutting up your vegetables in advance saves you lots of time during the week.

Share what’s on your grocery list for the week. You never know who you might inspire!

Coach Tip

COACH TIP: Take the time to recognize the efforts of someone in your group. Not only will you help that person feel good, you’ll also encourage everyone else to stay consistent with the program for the next week.

For example: Shout-out to [NAME]! She’s been working hard all week. I love her commitment to her workouts and nutrition. If you have a chance, give [NAME] a virtual high-five for being so dedicated!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, CLASSIC FULL BODY BLEND 2

US

Welcome to your second week of Barre Blend!

Today’s workout is another total-body burner, Classic Full Body Blend. Get ready to bring your attitude and show off a little, even if it’s just to your kids!

You’re probably still feeling the workouts from last week, so I want to talk a little more about how to use Beachbody Performance supplements to help support your energy and recovery.*

Beachbody Performance Energize can help you have more energy during your workouts while also helping you sharpen your focus, push harder, and last longer.* Drink it 30 minutes before your workout.

Beachbody Performance Recover helps speed muscle recovery, promote lean-muscle growth, and reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness.* For best results, drink it within 30 minutes after your workout.

If you were dragging at all last week without them, you could probably benefit from these supplements. They can mean the difference between slogging through a workout and going full-out. Let me know if I can answer any more questions about them.

Have you used either of these supplements? If so, tell us what benefits you’ve noticed.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, BOOTY BLEND 2

I hope you set a good intention this morning, because today we’re doing Booty Blend!

This week you’ll probably feel a little more comfortable with some of the moves. They’ll always be challenging, but as your form gets better they’ll be even more effective. If you need to, go back and rewatch the Barre Basics videos.

I really love the [COACH: STATE YOUR FAVORITE MOVE]. It’s so hard, but I feel amazing when I get it right!

What’s your favorite move so far? What move is really hard for you?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, CARDIO BLEND 2

You know what’s so great about Barre Blend? You get to channel your inner dancer and feel graceful, while sweating like crazy and toning your entire body! I don’t consider myself a great dancer, but something about the flow of these workouts makes me think I could be on stage. 😉

I want you to take that feeling of joy into today’s Cardio Blend workout.

How’s your hunger level? I know when I start a new workout program I sometimes feel a little extra hungry. But I don’t want to ruin all my progress, so I try to eat something nutritious. Lately I’ve been grabbing a BEACHBAR in the afternoon. It has 9–10 grams of protein and ingredients you know and trust, like creamy nut butters, real chocolate chips, and crunchy protein crisps. Plus, it’s just 150 calories. If you’re doing Ultimate Portion Fix it only counts as ½ red, ½ yellow, and 1 tsp. And it’s so good!

Who here has tried BEACHBAR? What’s your go-to flavor?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, CORE BLEND 2

This morning my “I AM” Daily Motivation Card was “I AM Present.” That’s the mood you should take in today’s core workout. You need to stay focused to get through this one!

Speaking of being present, are you using the Beachbody On Demand app to track your daily meals, water intake, and Shakeology? I find it so much easier to log everything as I go rather than all at once in the evening. It helps me check in with myself throughout the day, which keeps me present. And if you’re doing 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix, the app gives you even more ways to track your progress.

What did your “I AM” card say today?

Let’s send out positive vibes to anyone who might be struggling with the workouts. If you’re having a hard time, let us know so we can help!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, LEAN LEGS BLEND 2

Can you believe we’re already winding down our second week of Barre Blend? How much fun is this program? Today is your second Lean Legs Blend workout. If you want, you can try some of the moves without the barre (or chair, or whatever sturdy object you’re using). It’s a great test of your balance and muscle control.

Let’s explore this workout with an open heart and celebrate what our bodies can do!

Sometimes I like to mix up my Shakeology and try a new recipe so I don’t get stuck in a rut. Lately my favorite is [COACH: ADD YOUR FAVORITE SHAKEOLOGY RECIPE]. It tastes like an indulgence but I feel good knowing I’m putting such awesome nutrition into my body.

What are you putting in your Shakeology today? This recipe for Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Shakeology looks AMAZING. Have you tried it?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, REST AND REPLENISH

Ahhh, a rest and replenish day! I’ve been looking forward to doing the 15-Minute Yoga Blend workout to stretch and relax my tired muscles. Which one are you going to do today? Are you going to add any other workouts? You may have noticed in your Get Started Guide that you can do any of the Classic Full Body Blend workouts on your rest day if you feel up to it. Be careful not to overdo it and hurt yourself, though! Rest days are equally important to getting the results you want from your program.

Coach Tip

Now would be a great time to highlight someone’s Success Story. Here’s a good one! You can say something like “Want some motivation to stay on-track this weekend? Check out Romy’s Barre Blend results!”

Profile Name: Romy L.
Romy L. lost 25.6 lbs. and 15.5 inches
*Results vary based on starting point and effort and following Beachbody’s exercise and healthy eating plan.

Have you seen the beautiful Barre Blend apparel on Team Beachbody yet? I’m pretty sure I want to buy it all. I heard that Elise personally selected some of the styles to reflect her personality. How cool is that? Check them out and let us know which you decide to get! Check them out here and let us know which you decide to get!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 2, REST & REPLENISH

Happy Sunday! Today I’m going to Roll & Replenish all my tensions away before I head to the kitchen to do my meal prep. What recovery workout are you planning to do today?

Let’s do a quick check-in. Give me some feedback on how you’re doing at this point. What are your challenges, and what’s going well? Tell me what’s going on and how I can help.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, CLASSIC FULL BODY BLEND 3

Today’s Full Body Blend workout marks the beginning of Phase 2. In this phase the moves are more advanced and the workouts are more intense. They’ll also be a few minutes longer. So get ready to work hard and have fun!

Do you notice you’re smiling more since you started this program? You really can’t help it, because Elise is such a positive and happy person. Don’t you love her energy? Carry that smile and good feeling with you all day!

Since we’re starting a new phase, it’s also a good time to talk a little more about nutrition and how a good plan can help you reach your goals faster. Which do you prefer: a structured plan with specific guidelines about how much to eat, or a more flexible approach to eating with general behavioral guidelines?

Your answer to this question can determine if one of Beachbody’s premium nutrition programs is right for you. If you said you prefer structure, then Ultimate Portion Fix can help you with portion-control containers that show you exactly how much to eat every day. If you prefer more flexibility, 2B Mindset can help you focus on how you approach your food choices so you can eat more healthfully and lose weight without feeling deprived. Both are amazing—just different approaches!

Do you want more info to help you decide if you need one of these plans? Reach out to me and I’ll help you!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, BOOTY BLEND 3

US

Who wants a tighter, more lifted booty? Then be sure to drink your Energize for the energy to help you give today’s workout everything you’ve got!*

Speaking of Energize, who’s using it? Have you noticed that it makes a difference in your workouts? For me personally, Energize can make a HUGE difference in how I feel, especially when I work out early in the morning. What’s been your experience?

BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE TIP: If you take Energize, have you noticed a tingling feeling shortly after you drink it? It can be a normal reaction to beta-alanine, an amino acid in Energize. Some people tingle, some don’t. I kind of like how it feels. But if you don’t, keep in mind that it often goes away with continued, regular use.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, CARDIO BLEND 3

Today is a Cardio Blend day. Have you tried working out with a family member or friend? You can each pull an “I AM” card and spread the positivity even further. It’s so much fun to get sweaty together!

Do you have a favorite recipe? Please share it with the group so we can make it this weekend or meal prep it for next week.

I’ll go first. My favorite recipe is [COACH: ADD YOUR FAVORITE HEALTHY RECIPE. POST A PHOTO IF YOU CAN]. I never seem to get tired of it!

Share which “I AM” card you chose this morning and tell us how you’re incorporating that into your day.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, CORE BLEND 3

Today we’re doing a core-focused workout. One thing I love about Elise is that she’s so motivating. I feel like I want to work harder for her. What about you?

Deep thought for today: What’s your WHY? Why are you here, in this group? What motivates you? Please tell us!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, LEAN LEGS BLEND 3

US

Here comes a Lean Legs Blend workout. Are you doing the intensifier moves yet? You’re probably getting better at your workouts, so maybe push yourself a little harder today. If you’re not ready, no worries. There’s no shame in following the modifier whenever you need to.

Did you know that you can give your Shakeology an extra “beauty boost” by adding a scoop of Beachbody Collagen Boost? With regular use, these collagen peptides can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and support healthy nails.* Have you tried it yet?

You can actually add Beachbody Collagen Boost to any hot or cold liquid (even coffee and tea!), but I find it so easy to mix in my Shakeology. Here’s a delicious Shakeology recipe that would be perfect with Beachbody Collagen Boost: Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie Bowl.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, REST AND REPLENISH

I think we earned this rest day. What about you? If your weekend is as busy as mine, you might want to do the 10-Minute Yoga Blend or a couple of 10-Minute Enhancements.

On weekends it can be a challenge to keep your health and fitness goals in mind when you’re so busy with family, social events, and just life in general. Elise talks a lot about balance, and how the quality of our lives depends on aligning our actions with our goals and values. So make sure you take the time to replenish your body and mind with self-care so you can truly enjoy life and get the most out of every day!

To help you stay motivated and on-track this weekend, I want to share another amazing Barre Blend Success Story:

BARRE BLEND WEEK 3, REST & REPLENISH

We’re heading into the last week of Phase 2! Awesome job, everyone!

I’m going to Roll & Replenish before I start my meal prep. I found this recipe for Cauliflower Bread. What are you most looking forward to eating this week? Give us some new ideas!

Coach Tip

Here’s another opportunity to recognize the efforts of someone in your group. Not only will you help that person feel good, you’ll also encourage everyone else to stay consistent with the program for the next week.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, CLASSIC FULL BODY BLEND 4

US

What’s fueling you this morning (besides Shakeology, of course)? ☺ Having purpose and joy is how we build a life that helps us love Mondays! So let’s pull an “I AM” Daily Motivation Card and set a positive tone for this full-body workout.

How’s your digestion? Here’s an interesting fact: The average American gets only a little more than half of the daily fiber recommendation. Shakeology can help with that. The fiber content in Shakelogy can help support regularity and healthy digestion so you can feel your best while doing Barre Blend.*

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, BOOTY BLEND 4

Today’s workout is Booty Blend. Who’s noticing changes in their booty after these workouts? What about your confidence? This program is really great for making you feel good about yourself, isn’t it? I bet you’re standing a little straighter now!

I want to remind you to ENJOY the process and appreciate how far you’ve come in the last few weeks. Think about the goals you set at the beginning and remind yourself why you’re still here. Don’t lose sight of those goals!

Can you share how this program is changing you? Not just physically, but emotionally too? It can be anything. I love a good non-scale victory!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, CARDIO BLEND 4

We’re getting better every day, so let’s get better together and tackle this Cardio Blend workout!

Have you tried taking your workout outside yet? It’s such a different experience when you exercise in nature, breathing the fresh air. I highly recommend trying it!

Also, if you’re feeling strong after your workout, you might want to add a bonus workout for extra results. How about the 10-Minute Enhancement workout Enhance Your Cardio? Tell us how you did if you decide to tack one on.

I know I’m going to need my Recover after today’s workout. Recover has three different protein sources to help optimize your post-workout recovery.* Did you know there’s a plant-based version of the chocolate flavor made with pea protein? What’s your favorite Recover flavor, chocolate or orange? How does it help you?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, CORE BLEND 4

Today’s workout is Core Blend 4. Bet you can’t wait to feel your abs burn. Let’s get each other fired up! Snap a picture showing us your attitude so we can all get motivated to do our best today. And if you post it on social media, make sure you hashtag it #showyourattitude and #BarreBlend so Elise can see it too!

Usually at this point in the week is where your healthy-eating motivation may start to be tested. Now’s a good time to refocus and dial-in your nutrition. If you need inspiration, check out page 36 in your Beachbody Guide to Nutrition for a great recipe that’s delicious AND staisfying—Fresh Veggie, Chicken, and Quinoa Salad.

And remember, words are powerful. If you’re struggling, focus on being kind to yourself, being gentle with your thoughts, forgiving yourself, and moving forward intentionally. And know you can always lean on us too! That’s what this group is for, to make us ALL better! So reach out anytime. We’re always here for you.

Have a great day!

Get ready for your legs to be shaking and quaking today! I expect every one of you to show off that confidence you’ve been cultivating these last several weeks. These workouts are all about elevating your wellness and realizing your full potential. Now I want to see it! If you can, take a short video of yourself doing the workout and share with us.

As we head toward the end of Phase 2, I’d like to talk a little more about confidence. Making it this far means you’ve worked hard. You should be proud of your commitment and dedication! I get confidence from eating and exercising regularly, and drinking my Shakeology. Those things help me feel confident that I can be fully present for the important moments in my life.
What gives you confidence?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, REST AND REPLENISH

Welcome to your well-deserved rest day! You should do one of the Yoga Blend workouts or Roll & Replenish today. Snap a pic of yourself in self-care mode and share it with the group!

Even though today is a self-care day, do you still pull an “I AM” Daily Motivation Card? I do, because it puts me into a good mindset, and gives me a personal mantra to carry through the day.

My card today is “I AM Authentic.” Amazing! I’m going to focus on living my truth today. What does your card say?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 4, REST & REPLENISH

Let’s enjoy this day as we set our intentions for the upcoming week. What recovery workout are you going to do?

My goal this week is to be consistent. To stay on-track, I’m going to make sure I’m prepared for anything that could threaten my progress—like downloading my workouts in case my internet goes out or taking Shakeology packets with me in case of a hunger emergency. What do you do to stay consistent?

Coach Tip

Here’s another opportunity to recognize the efforts of someone in your group. Not only will you help that person feel good, but you’ll also encourage everyone else to stay consistent with the program for the next week.

Because it’s so much more than good nutrition. It makes me feel [INSERT YOUR OWN EMOTIONAL IMPACT: e.g., “feel like I’m doing something healthy”, “keeps me motivated to stick to my Beachbody program”]. It’s nonnegotiable for me. Tell us why you drink Shakeology every day!”

You’re all doing so great! Today’s workout is Cardio Blend 5.

Let’s take a moment to be grateful for something good in our lives. Today I’m grateful for Beachbody Performance Energize and Recover. They’re so effective when I’m working hard toward a fitness goal. I really feel like they make a difference in my results when I take them before and after workouts. And because they taste so good, it kind of feels like a reward! Especially the Chocolate Recover, which tastes like dessert after a hard workout. Beachbody Performance can help increase energy and optimize recovery with key ingredients like caffeine, beta-alanine, quercetin, and protein.*

What are you grateful for today?

By now you’re in your groove. You’re building a strong body and mind that allow you to live your best life. So sweat, burn, and smile as you work through this core workout.

You’ve been pushing yourself so hard this week, and Beachbody Performance Recover is more important than ever after your workouts. Did you know that Beachbody completed a study with the University of Exeter in England showing how well Recover works?

I like to know the products I’m using are scientifically tested, which is why I found this infographic explaining the study to be really interesting!

Do you take Recover after every workout?

All the Friday feels! I know it’s going to be an amazing weekend. Can you feel it too?

Let’s finish the week strong with Lean Legs Blend 6.

I was wondering, when do you drink your Shakeology? Do you make it a part of a meal, like breakfast? Or do you have it as a snack? I’m a breakfast Shakeology person myself. This morning, I saw a recipe on the Beachbody On Demand blog that sounds interesting: Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Shakeology.

Do you have any new favorite Shakeology recipes?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 6, REST AND REPLENISH

Looking back on this week, what was your favorite workout? For me it was [COACH: SELECT A WORKOUT, AND SAY WHY YOU LIKED IT. DID YOU FINALLY CONQUERED A MOVE, OR WERE YOU REALLY IN THE FLOW? MAKE IT PERSONAL].

I’m going to do the 15-Minute Yoga Blend and stretch away all the tightness. Then I’m heading to the market to get my shopping and meal prep done so I can enjoy the weekend fully. What are your weekend plans?

Here’s another incredible Barre Blend Success Story to keep you mindful of your choices this weekend. Doesn’t she look great?

Elise always talks about how working on her mobility and flexibility helps her stay fit and active. And she refuses to obsess about numbers on the scale. Instead she chooses nourishing foods and supplements that fuel her body and help her feel good. I find that so refreshing. Maybe you should do Roll & Replenish today in her honor!

On that note, how are you investing in your healthy lifestyle today?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, CLASSIC FULL BODY BLEND 7

MONDAY FUNDAY. You guys, this is our final phase of Barre Blend! The workouts are a little longer now, about 40 minutes each. Grab some Energize and let’s take up lots of space and fully express ourselves in every workout.

Today’s workout is Classic Full Body Blend 7. You know the moves, you have the confidence and the attitude. Show it off!

I’m so proud of every single one of you for making it this far, but I want to say a little something about “expectations.” Often in my groups I see people comparing their progress to someone else’s. Please don’t do that! It’s important to understand that everyone changes at a different rate and in different ways. If you stay consistent with your nutrition and your workouts, the results will come!

Coach Tip

Talk about the emotional impact you’ve had from leading this group. “It’s been so inspiring to help everyone work toward their best success and results,” etc.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, BOOTY BLEND 7

Today is going to burn—in the best possible way! We’re back to Booty Blend.

Do you ever have those days when life seems to throw every curve ball your way? One thing I can always count on is my daily Shakeology. It’s my nonnegotiable must-have even when everything else gets out of hand. It tastes great and includes ingredients you don’t normally find at regular supermarkets. What’s your favorite Shakeology flavor?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, CARDIO BLEND 7

Where we give our energy, we give our power. This cardio workout moves a little faster than the previous ones. Are you ready to make it the most powerful one yet?

All through this program you’ve heard Elise talk about positivity, affirmations, self-love, and gratitude. If you could describe your Barre Blend experience to a friend, what would you say? What words would you use to illustrate your journey?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, CORE BLEND 7

Look at you, tackling another core workout!

I want you to think back to the person you were when we first kicked off this group. Do you remember what your goals were? Now think about how far you’ve come. It’s pretty remarkable, isn’t it?

If you’re like me, and you find yourself craving something chocolatey and delicious, try this recipe made with Beachbody Performance Recover: Chocolate Recover Zucchini Bread Smoothies. It’s nutritious and indulgent.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, LEAN LEGS BLEND 7

Let’s give thanks for these strong legs that support us through today’s workout. And if you want to get even stronger, think about upping your weights for this one. Can you do it?

What are you thankful for today?

Coach Tip

Now’s a good time to recognize the efforts of someone in your group. Make them feel good going into the weekend, and give everyone else a chance to congratulate them too.

BARRE BLEND WEEK 7, REST AND REPLENISH

Today’s recovery workout is going to feel soooo good! What do you have on tap? A little Yoga Blend or Roll & Replenish? Maybe a Classic Full Body Blend with some 10-Minute Enhancements? You’re in the home stretch; now’s a good time to challenge yourself.

I’ve been looking for new quick and easy snacks to eat when I’m really busy and don’t have time to cook. I just found this one on the Beachbody On Demand blog: Super Seed Energy Bars. Have you tried this one?

In this last week together, I want you to be aware of your mindset. Are you standing in your own way? Can you speak more kindly and lovingly to yourself? Remember how much power is in your words. Will you share something you love about yourself?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 8, CARDIO BLEND 8

Hump day! You know what that means. Cardio Blend!

BARRE BLEND WEEK 8, REST AND REPLENISH

Today is a day of self-care and reflection. Think about who you were at the beginning of this program versus who you are now. How did this journey change your relationship with fitness and nutrition? What are your plans going forward?

BARRE BLEND WEEK 8, REST & REPLENISH

We made it! As your Coach, I’m so incredibly proud of each and every one of you.

Stand TALL and rise UP! You are more expressive, more confident, and more aware of who you are and how strong you can be. Keep living your truth and your purpose, and remain unshakeable in your principles.

Now it’s time to KEEP GOING on your fitness journey—whether that’s doing another round of Barre Blend or moving on to another program on Beachbody On Demand. If you need some guidance, I can help point you in the right direction.

Today’s the day to take your “after” pictures and write down your new measurements. You’ve earned your progress and it’s time to show it off to others! You can enter the Beachbody Challenge contest, which gives you a chance to win big cash prizes. Plus, receive a free gift (while supplies last). Go to BeachbodyChallenge.com for details.

One final thing: THANK YOU for joining me—and each other. Thank you for your comments, photos, successes, feedback, and everything else you’ve shared along the way. Your commitment is an inspiration to me and so many others.

Congrats on Finishing Barre Blend!
