Welcome to our #mbf group!
I’ve been a huge fan of Super Trainer Megan Davies since she won the Beachbody reality show, THE 20s. It was my first glimpse into her powerful, positive, motivational style of fitness and nutrition, something I’m so excited that she’s brought into this new program.
#mbf is comprised of two 3-week programs— #mbf Muscle Burns Fat and #mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced—that are designed to be done back-to-back. With #mbf, you’ll get lean, strong, and healthy as you rev up your metabolism and burn fat. You’ll work out every day for 3 weeks (I know it sounds like a lot) with an effective combination of 25- to 35-minute strength-training and cardio workouts. The goal is to get you toned, tight, and ready for the next 3 weeks of #mbfa, where Megan dials-up the intensity, challenges, and workout length (up to 40 minutes) for an even greater total-body transformation.
Your nutrition is just as important as your #mbf workouts, so we’re going to dive deeper into your eating and nutrition tomorrow. For those of you who have activated your 30-day trial Nutrition+ membership, you’ll get access to content from Ilana and Autumn, the creators of 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix (more on these nutrition plans tomorrow), plus tons of recipes, helpful tips, and support from an even bigger community. Nutrition+ also includes access to The Mindset Membership and The Monthly Fix, both designed to give you a deeper dive into the programs and help keep you accountable and on-track with your weight loss and healthy eating. Don’t have access to Nutrition+ or want to know more about it? DM me!
During our Prep Week, I’ll be giving you some pointers so you can start strong from the very first workout. These workouts are going to push and challenge you, and your body can’t perform at its highest levels without proper nutrition. Personally, I love to drink my Shakeology first thing in the morning. It starts my day off right and helps give my body the nutrients it needs to get through these workouts.*
Another important part of fueling your body every day is adding Beachbody Performance Energize and Recover to your routine, except recovery days, to help you tackle those workouts with laser-sharp focus and recover between them.*†‡
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
†Contains caffeine, which enhances mental alertness during intense muscular activity.
‡Whey, pea, and casein are sources of protein. High in protein.
One last thing: I know you’re going to love #mbf, and the support and accountability you’ll get from this group. The goal is to help every single person succeed—I’ll be leading us every step of the way.
Let’s kick things off by getting to know each other. Answer these questions in the comments section below.
- Why are you excited for #mbf?
- Where do you live?
- What is your occupation?
- Which Shakeology flavor(s) are you drinking?
- Are you following the 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix eating program? If not, I’d like you to select a nutrition program, because your nutrition is an integral part of helping you get the best results.
- Describe your eating habits. Are you a snacker, or do you just focus on eating 3 big meals a day, etc.?
- What are your nutrition goals? For example: eat healthier, gain control, mindful snacking.
- Which Beachbody Performance supplement(s) are you taking to prepare for your workouts or after to recover?
- What are your goals? Do you want to lose weight, get in shape, increase muscle mass, burn fat, fit into your favorite pair of shorts, or do you have some other goal?
- How can our supportive group best help you reach your goals?
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Assess your daily schedule. Are you ready to commit?
- Congratulate yourself for taking this incredible step for your health.
- Watch the Getting Started with #mbf and #mbfa video.
- Get a jump start on nutrition by watching the Introduction to Nutrition video, and checking out 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix.
Tomorrow, I’ll share more about how this group will work. See you then!

Prep Week DAY 2
Here’s why #mbf is so unique. Megan has set her workouts to the beat of music, which gives her the ability to increase and decrease the intensity and help you burn TONS of calories. For some moves, you’ll use two dumbbells, and for others you’ll use just one to put your body off-balance. This combo of symmetrical and asymmetrical training will challenge your core and engage more muscles throughout your body. Most workouts utilize the BOD Rope, the Cordless Indoor Jump Rope with weighted handles to help you focus on speed and effort, while reducing the chance of tripping. Trust me—this is not some old-school jump rope that you’ll use once and leave in the closet. You are DEFINITELY going to use this rope, and you are going to LOVE it.
About that music. Beyond being awesome, it’s meant to drive your pace and rhythm—Megan wants you working to the beat. So turn it up, have fun, and get ready to burn some fat.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
As I mentioned yesterday, nutrition is KEY to your success. So many people struggle with what to eat, and sifting through the information that’s out there can be overwhelming. Some think cardio and crash-dieting is the magic formula for getting results. The truth is, you can’t starve your way to a better body. What you eat MATTERS. Beachbody offers some really amazing tools to help you get on-track with your eating:
- The Beachbody Guide to Nutrition is a great resource for recipes and meal ideas, with an overview of Beachbody products to help you reach your goals.
- The Introduction to Nutrition video talks about nutrition, 2B Mindset, and Ultimate Portion Fix. Both nutrition programs are designed to help you get the best results with #mbf—and beyond.
- 2B Mindset is a flexible approach to weight loss that follows the “Plate It” method, which shows you how much of specific macronutrients to put on your plate, with no tracking calories or weighing food. This flexible approach allows you to satisfy your appetite while still staying on-track. 2B Mindset was created by Ilana Muhlstein, RDN and author, and is based on the strategies she discovered to help herself lose 100 lbs. and keep it off—even after having 2 kids.
- Ultimate Portion Fix gives you control over food by teaching you how to portion out macronutrients with color-coded containers. You’ll learn how to create delicious, perfectly portioned meals aligned to your goals while still enjoying the foods you love. Creator Autumn Calabrese is an author, and a fitness and nutrition expert. Her programs have helped millions of people reach their goals.
Everyone is different, so it’s important for you to check out both programs and pick the one you want to use with #mbf. BOTH will teach you how to track what you’re eating to help you reach your goals.
GREAT NEWS! If you purchased a Challenge Pack, you get streaming access to BOTH nutrition programs. You’ll get Ilana’s tracking journal for 2B Mindset and Autumn’s portion-control containers for Ultimate Portion Fix. Send me a message once your package arrives and I can help you get started with the nutrition plan that best suits you and your goals.
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Check out 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix on Beachbody On Demand and pick the one that’s right for you. If you need help deciding, please ask me.
- Make sure you’re stocked up on Shakeology.
- Got a question? Fire away in the comments.
Prep Week DAY 3
For this program, you’ll need a set of light, medium, and heavy dumbbells, and the BOD Rope. I’m excited to try out this new cordless jump rope. I feel like it’s going to be a game-changer for us! Also, once you get familiar with all your program materials, you’ll see that there is a dumbbell tracker for you to use to track your progress over the next 3 weeks.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
By now, I hope you’ve picked a nutrition program to follow. No one wants to do all this great fitness work and undo it with poor eating. I know there is a lot to absorb but it’s worth taking the time, even if you watch a few videos a day. No matter which program you’re following, now is the time to think about what you’re going to eat during #mbf and start your meal prep. Remember, you don’t have to be a gourmet chef to be successful with either of these nutrition plans. Yes, meal prep may take a little time and organization, but it doesn’t have to be complicated, and it will be so worth it.
What meals are you going to be cooking this week? You’ll want to make a shopping list before going to the grocery store. All these details are covered in the 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix videos and program materials.
If you need meal inspirations, be sure to explore all of the recipes in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition and on Beachbody On Demand. Look for the Mindset Menu and FIXATE—lots of yummy ideas there.
Also, do yourself this huge favor: Skip the junk food! I promise there will be plenty of delicious treat ideas over the next 3 weeks to satisfy your cravings. You can get a sneak peek in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition, plus Ilana and Autumn have plenty more.
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Make sure all of your equipment and the workout calendar are in one place.
- Try the #mbf sample workout.
- Share some motivation with the group! We all need each other to succeed.
- Start planning your meals and make a shopping list. Share a picture of your grocery hauls with everyone.
Prep Week DAY 4

Prep Week DAY 5
A few days ago, I mentioned the symmetrical and asymmetrical training (using two weights and then switching to one weight), and some of you had questions. Let me explain in greater detail.
When you use dumbbells, you’re usually using one in each hand and doing the move with BOTH sides of your body. For example, performing a biceps curl with your left and right arms simultaneously. Megan will have you do that in addition to moves that use only ONE dumbbell and work each side of your body independently. The goal is to put your body off-balance, which will challenge your core and engage more muscles. It might feel different at first, but just watch your form (and Megan!) and you’ll soon feel and see the benefits.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
Let’s talk about how nutrition directly impacts your goals. Remember, working out doesn’t mean you can eat whatever you want. You need to pay attention to the foods you’re eating in order to reach your goals. I used to find that when I started working out, especially intensely, I felt hungrier and had days when I just wanted to eat more food. This will be a great time for you to determine if you’re actually hungry. Do you need more energy for your workouts? Or are you emotionally eating? This is where 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix can help. Whether it’s dealing with mindless eating or figuring out the proper amounts to eat at each meal, Ilana’s and Autumn’s programs have helped thousands of people. This is why picking your nutrition path is SO important. They are here to guide you every step of the way.
For a lot of folks, suddenly switching to healthy eating can be overwhelming. But this group is here to help you figure out what works best for you, answer your questions, and reassure you that success is possible. Please message me if you need extra help.
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Dive deeper into 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix if you haven’t watched all the videos.
- Did you shop for groceries yet?
Prep Week DAY 6
TWO DAYS TO GO! Who’s excited to get started?
As you know, this is your group. It’s a safe space without judgment or fear. Support from one another can be a total game-changer because you’re not doing this alone. No matter what you’re feeling, chances are someone else is feeling the same thing—or might have a great bit of advice for getting past your obstacles.
One of the best ways to make sure you stay on-track is to download the Beachbody On Demand app to your mobile device. When life happens, you want to make sure you always have your #mbf family (and workouts!) with you to help you stay motivated and accountable. Plus, it puts our group, and support, just a button away.
Today, let’s jump into a conversation with each other. What has held you back in the past from fully reaching your goals? Mindset, commitment, or accountability? What strategies will you use to overcome these past setbacks so you can reach your goals with us? Take a moment and share with us in the comments below.
Throughout this program, make an effort to personalize these posts. Remember, they’re just suggestions, and they can only get better with your stories, insights, and experience. Your group is probably very excited—and maybe a little nervous! They’re looking to you to set a positive, inspirational, inclusive tone so that everyone feels engaged and welcome.
Prep Week DAY 7
SUPER-important, you guys! We’ve got just 24 hours until our first workout and NOW is the time to take your BEFORE pics and measurements. This is one of the best ways to really see your progress—you’ll be feeling the changes, but there’s something about looking back at your Day 1 photo that is super-inspiring. Here’s a little incentive: If you keep track of your photos, weight, and measurements, you’ll be able to enter the Beachbody Challenge by visiting BeachbodyChallenge.com when you finish the program. When you enter and submit your results, you’ll also receive an official #mbf T-shirt and the 2020 Beachbody Challenge shirt (while supplies last) to celebrate your success.
And listen, I get it. I have been here before, and I am here with you now. Before pics can feel really scary. I was SO scared to take mine before my first program. Sometimes the scale doesn’t move as much as you’d like, or your inches don’t drop superfast. Pictures complete the story. They tell you what the scale and inches can’t, and you don’t want to miss out on seeing this progress. It’s worth it. I promise!
Today’s To-Do’s to make the most of Workout 1:
- Take your BEFORE photos and log your weight and measurements in your Get Started Guide.
- Plan your meals for the day—extra credit if you plan for the week.
- Drink your Shakeology.
- Have your dumbbells and BOD Rope ready to go.
- Make sure you have the workout calendar handy to keep track of your workouts and AMRAP. In #mbf, AMRAP stands for as many rounds as possible.
See you all tomorrow!
Day 1: Lower Body Burn
Here we go! Day 1 is here and it’s time to show up for yourself, and for our group. This is your safe place to share your successes, let each other know when you need a little motivation, and help each other finish strong.
Don’t get frustrated if today feels hard. Do your best, and feel free to follow the modifier. After a few workouts, when you’re feeling stronger, you can follow the rest of the cast.
Today’s workout is Lower Body Burn. This workout will help you target your quads, glutes, and hamstrings with classic weightlifting and asymmetrical (one-sided) training. As I mentioned earlier, using one weight instead of two is to purposely keep you off-balance, so you engage your core and more muscles throughout your body with each move.
I want to know how you all did today! Did you get your superfoods in? What about your Beachbody Performance? How was your nutrition? And fill us in with how you did with the first #mbf workout!
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
Sometimes people need to make some modifications to their eating when they start a new fitness program. You might not need to modify what you’re eating with #mbf, but if you find yourself feeling hungrier or even light-headed, here’s what to do:
- For 2B Mindset, review the “2B Mindset & Exercise” PDF.
- For Ultimate Portion Fix, use the Moderately Challenging calculator to determine your calorie bracket.
Day 2: Core Circuit
US
How are we feeling about yesterday’s workout? I am so incredibly proud of all of you, and know that we’re going to have a great 3 weeks together. Let’s remember WHY we committed to building muscle and burning fat as we take on today’s workout.
It’s Core Circuit. Get ready to sweat, because these cardio and core blocks will help maximize your fat-burning, and feature an AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) finisher to really challenge yourself. Don’t forget to record your AMRAP result in the calendar, so you can track your progress.
About 30 minutes before every workout, I take Energize. If you know me, you know a workout never happens without it. It helps motivate me to start my workout, and helps make the workout feel easier. If this is your first time taking Energize, you may notice a slight tingly feeling— it can be a normal reaction to beta-alanine. Some people tingle, some don’t. If that tingly feeling bothers you, try doing a half scoop tomorrow.*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
One last thing: If you have any peaches in the house, put them aside. If not, make a point to pick some up in the next couple of days. Trust me—I’ve got a GREAT treat coming up for you.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
How is your nutrition going? Share some things you’ve adopted from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix that are working for you, even if it’s your favorite meals or recipes you’ve discovered.
When we include personal references in these posts, they’re meant to be suggestions that you can customize to fit actual anecdotes from your life. The more you sound like “you” on social media, the more your customers will want to keep reading and commenting.

If that tingly feeling bothers you, try doing a half scoop tomorrow.*
One last thing: If you have any peaches in the house, put them aside. If not, make a point to pick some up in the next couple of days. Trust me—I’ve got a GREAT treat coming up for you.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
How is your nutrition going? Share some things you’ve adopted from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix that are working for you, even if it’s your favorite meals or recipes you’ve discovered.
When we include personal references in these posts, they’re meant to be suggestions that you can customize to fit actual anecdotes from your life. The more you sound like “you” on social media, the more your customers will want to keep reading and commenting.
Day 3: Upper Body Burn
Hit that like button if you LOVE Megan! Her energy is INCREDIBLE and she has such a positive, motivational style. I find that she really helps me get the most out of each move, and pushes me to give her every rep I can do.
Today is Upper Body Burn. There are push-ups in the warm-up and negative push-ups in the second block. I know not everyone loves them, and I get it—but they are so important for getting strong and building muscle. So, watch your form, do what you can do, and just know that every rep counts. In this workout, you’ll hit your chest, back, shoulders, and arms with more classic weightlifting and asymmetrical training.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
I’m hoping you’re embracing your nutrition changes just as much as your new workouts. I know that staying on-track can be a struggle. There are birthdays, events, treats, and temptations around every corner. The great news is that 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix are all about living your life while keeping you on-track so you can reach your goals. Nutrition+ is another great resource, and I didn’t want to wait too long to mention it. As a Nutrition+ member, you’ll get additional support and accountability with access to Ilana, Autumn, and their Facebook communities. You’ll also receive monthly content on hot topics, new recipes to cook, meal plans, and more to help keep you on-track.
Encourage everyone to talk and share, and also make a point of sharing YOUR OWN experiences. Your customers are looking to you for motivation, guidance, and support.
Day 4: Core Circuit
Today, we’re back to Core Circuit. It’s the same as Tuesday, but with new moves, a different AMRAP, and more cardio. Make sure you record your AMRAP and share it with us below. This group is here to support you and cheer you on, every step of the way.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
I know making smart food choices isn’t always easy, but what you eat is crucial—not just for these 3 weeks, but for the rest of your life. Today is our 4th workout, and your body will be burning some serious calories, which means you may feel hungrier than usual. This is why eating a healthy breakfast is one of the most important ways to start your day. It sets the tone for your energy, so make it count. Here’s a seriously delicious breakfast recipe for Vanilla Peach Overnight Oats that features Shakeology, and can be found here: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/vanilla-peach-overnight-oats-recipe
Share your breakfast with us below. I love to see what you’re eating!
Day 5: Full Body Burn
US
Wow. Seriously! I want you to take a minute and think about what you’re doing, and the commitment you’ve made. Every day is a chance to pat yourself on the back and recognize your efforts.
Today’s workout is Full Body Burn. You’ll recognize some of the moves you’ve already done in the upper- and lower-body workouts. Pay attention to your form, and how you can improve each move. Listen to Megan’s tips and cues—everything she says is to help you get better, stronger, and more confident. It’s up to you to push yourselves during these workouts. Getting stronger comes from lifting heavier weights. It’s important to continue to challenge yourselves!
And to help you recover better so you can hit your next workout hard, don’t forget your Beachbody Performance Recover—it can help build muscle, which is what is going to help us burn fat! Just make sure you take it within 30 minutes of finishing a workout.*‡

Day 6: Power Ignite
One of the things I love is how Megan challenges me to give her everything I’ve got. Today features one of my all-time favorite moves, the dumbbell sledgehammers. You’ve been practicing a sledgehammer all week in Core Circuit, but this time, Megan adds a dumbbell. And YES, you’re going to feel it!
Today’s 25-minute workout features EMOM (every minute on the minute) training—during each minute, you’ll do a certain number of reps of an exercise, and rest for the remainder of the minute. The faster you move, the longer your rest. It’s challenging, but super-fun!
Also, don’t forget to get your body dialed-in to the beat of the music. It can help set your pace and push your intensity. Give it all you’ve got, because tomorrow is recovery day.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
One quick reminder I can’t stress enough is to make sure you’re drinking enough water, especially since you’re working out every day. The best way to determine your water goal is to take your weight and divide it by two. This will give you an average in ounces of what you should be drinking each day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, your goal would be to drink 75 ounces of water each day. Share your water goals with us in the comments. Have you discovered ways to jazz up your water? I personally like citrus slices in mine!
Day 7: Dynamic Recovery
One week down! You continue to amaze me.
Today’s workout is Dynamic Recovery. I don’t know about you, but I need the break, and this active stretch and flow routine will help ease tension, boost mobility, and optimize recovery to get me ready for week 2.
I’d love to hear about your results. How are you feeling so far? If you’re getting the results you hoped for, that’s amazing. If not, how is your nutrition going? If you’re new to fitness, you may not know the saying, “You can’t out-train the kitchen.” And starving yourself is NOT how you lose weight or get strong. So, if you’re not starting to see results, let me know so we can take a deeper look at what you’re eating and troubleshoot if needed.
Here’s a great opportunity to make today’s post personal. If you’ve lost weight with 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix, share your insights, your struggles, and how you succeeded.
Day 8: Lower Body Burn
Week 2! By now, your body has gotten into the rhythm of a daily workout. Hopefully, you’re noticing a change in your energy and you’re feeling stronger and tighter—I know I am.
Success isn’t easy. Motivation comes and goes, making it hard to commit and stick to your plan. Trust me, I’ve been there. But I also know that moving is the best cure for anything that might be holding me back. Honor your commitment to this program. Do the work. And you’ll love the results.
Today is Lower Body Burn and Megan will be asking you to try increasing your weights. It’s back to classic weightlifting and asymmetrical training, but with tougher moves that will test your strength and focus. Embrace the burn and work your hardest to complete every rep.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
Let’s talk about cravings. Whether it’s something sweet or something salty, we all crave different foods. One of the best things about 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix is that Ilana and Autumn both believe in living your life and not feeling deprived. With that being said, getting results means having discipline, too. Is there something you’re craving that you’re denying yourself? I know Ilana and Autumn have a hack for it, whether it’s a Shakeology ice cream recipe, a BEACHBAR, or crispy baked fries! Remember, the goal isn’t to feel deprived, but to make healthier choices.
Now would be a great time to spotlight a Success Story. You can use a photo to highlight someone’s results and say something like, “Some Monday motivation for you: [SUCCESS STORY†] Amazing commitment to #mbf.” †Results vary depending on starting point and effort. Just be sure to include a second disclaimer if the Success Story is a Coach: [Name] is an independent Team Beachbody Coach.
See you tomorrow.
Day 9: Core Circuit
One of the things I love about #mbf is the BOD Rope. Since it helps reduce the chance of tripping, you can focus on increasing your speed for an even greater calorie burn. And who doesn’t want that? Greater intensity will drive your heart rate and boost your metabolism. That’s key to losing weight.
So, how is everyone liking the BOD Rope? I have to admit that jumping “rope” when there’s no rope seemed odd, at first. You might feel like your hands aren’t rotating perfectly symmetrically, or that you’re jumping off-beat. Don’t get frustrated! Just know that it’s a new way to jump rope that takes some getting used to before you love it. I promise!
Here’s why I think this program is called Muscle Burns Fat. A lot of us are used to measuring results by the number on the scale, but we have to remember that building muscle can actually help you get a lean, sculpted look faster—and measuring inches around your body is sometimes a better indicator of results. Take a moment today to check in with your body. Tomorrow, I want to talk about interim results.
Today’s workout is Core Circuit. Megan dials-up the intensity with core exercises that will light your abs on fire. Can you beat last week’s AMRAP score? Fill us in below on how you are progressing with your AMRAPs.
Day 10: Upper Body Burn
US
Everyone is making such good progress. I wanted to talk about results so far. What have you noticed? Are you lifting heavier? Has the number gone down on the scale? Are you dropping inches? What about those progress pics? Now would be a great time to snap a few to see how things are changing for you. Remember, results come in so many forms—on the scale, how clothing fits, inches lost, energy levels, definition in our body, feeling stronger, and so on. Fill us in on your progress.
Today is Upper Body Burn. Press, push, pull, curl, and row your way to a more powerful upper half. I love these back-to-back exercises in today’s workout. Every day you show up and every day you lift helps build your strength and definition. Keep going!
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
I typically drink Shakeology in the morning and keep it simple, but sometimes I like to make it a little more decadent like this Vegan S’mores Shakeology recipe: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/vegan-smores-shakeology
I don’t just love Shakeology because it’s delicious. I’ve noticed so many positives in my life since starting it. Have you? I used to get that afternoon slump EVERY SINGLE DAY. I also drink one to help satisfy my craving for something sweet.* If you are looking for more recipes, be sure to check out the Shakeology tab in the Nutrition Center on Beachbody On Demand. https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/programs/shakeology/start-here

Day 11: Core Circuit
Cardio days can be intense, and a great way to stay fueled is to make sure every meal—AND every snack—is giving your body the nutrients and calories it needs. Let me tell you about one of my favorite snack recipes, Almond Espresso Energy Balls. I found it on the Beachbody On Demand blog not too long ago, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Here is the link to the recipe so you all can try it: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/almond-espresso-energy-balls-recipe
Now it’s your turn. Post your favorite snacks from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix.
Today is Core Circuit. This one is going to target your core and get your heart pumping, so be sure to keep up with Megan and the cast to accelerate your results.
From time to time, encourage your customers to experiment with new recipes. Having a variety of go-to recipes keeps you from getting bored with your nutrition. There are tons of recipes available on the Beachbody On Demand blog, in FIXATE, in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition, as well as in the 2B Mindset (look for the Mindset Menu) and Ultimate Portion Fix nutrition programs.
Day 12: Full Body Burn
Let’s get through the week! It’s Full Body Burn today, and we’re going to be lifting to the beat as we tackle four blocks of intense, muscle-burning exercises that target the entire body.
Nutrition Daily Check-In
With the weekend ahead, I’m curious: Does anyone find it difficult to stay on-track on Saturday and Sunday? Here’s a tip: Check out the Nutrition+ app I talked about a few weeks ago! Whether you’re following 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix, Ilana and Autumn provide advice to help you navigate temptation.
After you work out today, come back and tell us how you’re progressing.
Day 13: Power Ignite
It’s a perfect day for Power Ignite. Grab your Energize and get ready for this short EMOM workout. I’m not going to lie, it’s super-intense. Stay focused and fight the burn—you got this!
With a recovery day coming up tomorrow, and Week 3 beginning on Monday, I want to be sure you’re tuned-in to your nutrition and meal prepping each weekend. You know what they say, “If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.” Meal prep is a huge part of seeing success with #mbf and I want to be sure you are making it a priority each week.
Tell us, what are you eating these days? I’d love you to share a favorite recipe. Post your current favorite so we’ll have tons of new recipes to add to our rotations.
Also, if you’re looking for inspiration, Beachbody On Demand has so much to explore. There’s a cooking show called Mindset Menu with Ilana’s favorite satisfying recipes. Also, check out FIXATE, featuring Super Trainer Autumn Calabrese and her brother, chef Bobby, with some seriously yummy dishes. The Beachbody On Demand blog is also a great resource for recipes, tips, and meal prep ideas. Here’s a recipe I found for Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/slow-cooker-chicken-tacos-recipe
Day 14: Dynamic Recovery
Recovery day! Who’s excited to wind it down with Dynamic Recovery? This recovery-focused stretching session is exactly what we all need to hit the refresh button for the final week of #mbf.
Before we head into our final week, I want to see who’s staying on top of their nutrition, Shakeology, and/or Beachbody Performance. It’s super-important for all of us to check in with ourselves, and this group, about how we are staying committed to our goals. I’ll post my answers in the comments.
- Are you using your containers or the Plate It method?
- Are you tracking your food intake?
- How’s your water intake?
- Are you eating breakfast?
- Are you struggling with nighttime snacking?
- Are you hungrier or less hungry than before?
Day 15: Lower Body Burn
Week 3. Can you believe we’re here?
Now is a great time to do a personal check-in and make sure you’re feeling strong and ready to roll into #mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced on Monday. This is important, because in #mbfa, Megan dials-up the challenges and workout time (up to 40 minutes). If you feel like you’re not quite strong enough, do another round of #mbf—zero shame in listening to your body!
Let’s get to today’s workout: Lower Body Burn. This one is a leg burner, and if you are feeling strong enough, increase your weights. Remember, we can’t be afraid to lift heavy. Lifting heavy helps us build our muscles, which helps us burn more fat.
What are you most proud of after 2 weeks of crushing #mbf?
Day 16: Core Circuit
US
I found a GREAT recipe on the Beachbody On Demand blog and I think you’re going to love it. It’s not only delicious (no surprise there—it features Shakeology), but it’s approved for both 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix. Banana Berry Smoothie Bowl. Recipe here: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/banana-berry-smoothie-bowl
Today is Core Circuit. Are you all ready to tackle your toughest cardio workout yet? I want to see those sweaty selfies when you are done with this one! In addition to Energize, make sure you’re not skipping Recover after your workout. You might notice these workouts getting tougher—but you’re also getting stronger, and Recover helps ensure you’re getting enough protein to feed your muscles.*

Day 17: Upper Body Burn
Today’s workout has one of my favorite moves we’ve been doing in our strength-training workouts: the negative curl. From what I’ve read, one of the keys to optimizing muscle growth is maximizing “time under tension.” During a negative curl, you lower the dumbbell extra slowly. That increases the amount of time your biceps muscles are engaged. The longer they’re engaged, the more work they do, and the greater your results will be.
In Upper Body Burn, it’s time to target your top half again, but with new, more intense moves that provide a fresh challenge—and even bigger gains.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
How would you describe your nutrition on a scale of 1–10? 10 means on-point and on-track to reach your goals and 1 means not ideal and not complementing your workouts. What sorts of challenges are you facing and what tips have you incorporated from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix that are working for you?
Day 18: Core Circuit
I’ll be honest, some people say they don’t believe in before and after pictures, but I find them so inspiring. I have seen firsthand so many success stories—people who have lost 20, 50, even 100 lbs. or more. The reason I like to share these stories is that they show that ANYONE can commit to a goal and SUCCEED with daily effort. It’s not easy, and obstacles are always popping up—but if you commit, the results will come.
Share a before and after Success Story that has inspired you. Maybe it’s YOUR before and after! Remember, your group is looking to you for inspiration, guidance, and assurance that they can get through #mbf and reach their goals.
Today’s workout is Core Circuit. Today is your last AMRAP finisher, so attack it with everything you’ve got to achieve a new personal record. Share your progress and your numbers. Let’s cheer one another’s successes.
Day 19: Full Body Burn
Let’s talk about these last few days of #mbf. Sunday is our final Dynamic Recovery day before we start up with #mbfa on Monday. A few days ago, I asked you to think about how you’re feeling. Are you ready to move on to these advanced workouts? Do you want to do #mbf one more time?
Lastly, Have you been staying on top of your Shakeology? Which recipe has been your favorite so far?
Today is Full Body Burn. Have you been keeping up with Megan’s tempo? Can you believe this is our final strength workout of the program? Have you upped your weights since starting #mbf?
Even though this program is coming to an end, it’s the perfect time to start building momentum—to propel you into #mbfa, or into another round of #mbf, stronger than ever.
Day 20: Power Ignite
Our last workout before we dial it down tomorrow with our Dynamic Recovery, and I couldn’t be more proud of the effort, commitment, and GUTS you’ve all shown in this program. No matter where you are on the fitness spectrum, sticking to a workout—let alone 21 IN A ROW!—is a huge accomplishment.
You inspire me every day to give you MY personal best. Thank you for that.
Today is Power Ignite. Keep a towel handy, because this EMOM workout is going to leave you drenched. Push hard, stay strong, and make every rep count.
Let’s talk about your biggest takeaways from 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix. What surprised you? What will you be implementing for good?
One last treat: This GREAT recipe for Whole Wheat Waffles. Check it out here: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/whole-wheat-waffles-recipes
Day 21: Dynamic Recovery
I am speechless.
Reading through the comments and DMs from this week’s posts really got me thinking about how we’ve truly done this together. I’m proud, and I hope you are, too.
You’ve completed the program and earned this final Dynamic Recovery session. This deeply restorative flow will help us stretch, relax, and get ready for #mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced.
If you’re doing another round of #mbf or moving forward with #mbfa, it’s crucial to stay on top of your nutrition. Shakeology, Beachbody Performance, and 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix should be regular staples in your daily nutrition. Good job! Keep it going!
Now comes the fun part. It’s time to take your AFTER pictures, write down your new measurements, and post those #mbf transformation pics. You’ll get a free #mbf T-shirt (while supplies last) for submitting to the Beachbody Challenge contest and you’ll also have a chance to win cash prizes. Go to BeachbodyChallenge.com BeachbodyChallenge.com for details. And remember, if you’re going to post your results on Facebook or Instagram, make sure you tag me and use the hashtag #mbf.
Get some rest tonight. You deserve it.
