#mbf Muscle Burns Fat and #mbfa Muscle Burns Fat Advanced are designed to be done back-to-back. Ideally, if most participants in your group have completed #mbf and are ready for their next challenge, you can skip Prep Week and dive right into Day 1 of #mbfa.
Welcome to our #mbfa group! If you’ve just finished #mbf, or you’re jumping straight into #mbfa, I’m excited we’ll be doing this 3-week program together and getting lean, strong, and healthy as we rev up our metabolism and burn fat. Super Trainer Megan Davies built this program around daily workouts for 3 weeks (I know it sounds like a lot) with an effective combination of 25- to 40-minute strength-training and cardio routines. Along the way, we’ll be dialing-in our nutrition and encouraging each other to finish strong, tight, and feeling right.
We’re going to talk more about your eating and nutrition tomorrow. For those of you who have activated your first 30 days of the Nutrition+ membership, you’ll get direct access to content from the creators of 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix. 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. You’ll find tons of recipes, helpful tips, and support from an even bigger community. 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, so you’ll want to make sure your body is getting the fuel it needs to succeed. 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 #mbfa.*
Another important part of fueling your body is adding Beachbody Performance Energize and Recover to your routine to help you tackle those workouts with laser-sharp focus and recover optimally between them.*

Prep Week DAY 2
One of the first things you’ll notice about Megan is her incredible energy and motivational style. You’re going to work hard, but I promise she’ll keep you engaged and fired up. The workouts are set to the music beat, which will drive your pace and rhythm 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.
Now, let’s talk about your nutrition. There’s so much information out there, and it seems like every day there’s a new fad diet or theory on weight loss. 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 #mbfa—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.
GREAT NEWS! If you purchased a Challenge Pack, you’ll get streaming access to BOTH nutrition programs. You’ll also 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. Check out the #mbfa Get Started Guide for details on how to get started with either nutrition program.
- 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. For those of you who have done #mbf, you know how the BOD Rope works, so feel free to leave a comment to give people new to the program an idea what the rope is like. 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. If you’re coming from #mbf, you’ll want to continue the program you’re on—DM me if you have any questions about this. For my new group members, trust me when I say the last thing you want to do with this great fitness work is undo it with poor eating. No matter if it’s 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix, I’d like you to think about what you’re going to eat during #mbfa 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. If you’ve been meal prepping, let us know in the comments how it’s been going for you, and what tips you can share for those new to it.
The 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix videos and program materials are packed with useful tips and info on how to make meal prep work for you. Take this prep week to get those questions answered, or DM me.
There are tons of recipes and meal inspiration in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition and on Beachbody On Demand. Look for the Mindset Menu and FIXATE—lots of yummy ideas there.
Worried about missing out on sweet treats? I promise there will be plenty of delicious ideas over the next 3 weeks to help satisfy your cravings. You can get a sneak peek in the Beachbody Guide to Nutrition, plus there’s plenty more content from Ilana and Autumn.
Today’s To-Do’s:
- Make sure all of your equipment and the workout calendar are in one place.
- Try the #mbfa 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 5
A few days ago, I mentioned the symmetrical and asymmetrical training, 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 working BOTH sides of your body at the same time. For example, performing a biceps curl with your left and right arms simultaneously. That’s symmetrical training. Megan will have you do that in addition to moves that use only ONE dumbbell and work each side of your body independently (asymmetrical training). The goal is to put your body off-balance, which will challenge your core and engage more muscles throughout your body to maintain stability. It might feel awkward at first, but just watch your form (and Megan!) and you’ll soon feel and see the benefits.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
A gentle reminder for everyone (sometimes this includes ME!), 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!
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 #mbfa 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. If you did #mbf, what are you most excited about with #mbfa? Have you ever let your mindset, commitment, or accountability hold you back from your goals? What strategies will you use to overcome these past setbacks so you can reach your goals with us?
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
ALMOST THERE—one good night’s sleep and we’ll be ready to rock it tomorrow. 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 take your before and after photos and keep track of your 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.
For those who just finished #mbf, your AFTER picture from that program serves as your BEFORE photo. Remember, #mbfa is about taking everything up a level, and that means your results, too.
And listen, I get it. 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.
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 #mbfa, AMRAP stands for as many rounds as possible.
See you all tomorrow!
Day 1: Lower Body Burn Advanced
US
Day 1 is here, and we’ve got 3 full weeks ahead of us. Let’s make it awesome! We’re all doing #mbfa together, so let’s give each other a huge shout-out and some motivation! It’s time to level up your training with harder moves, new challenges, and longer workouts. Today is Lower Body Burn Advanced—you’ll target your legs with classic weightlifting and asymmetrical training. You’ll also do Megan Minutes, where you’ll do one move for a set number of reps in one minute. Finish fast, and catch a few seconds extra to rest!
I’m going to be talking a lot about our nutrition over the next 3 weeks. How you fuel your body will make all the difference in crushing your goals versus just achieving them. #mbfa dials everything up, so getting enough protein every day to help you recover is an absolute must. Your daily Shakeology can help ensure you get the amount you need—along with essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, pre- and probiotics, phytonutrients, digestive enzymes, fiber, and adaptogens. Beachbody Performance Energize and Recover can help you take your results to the next level.*

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.
I want to know how you all did with your first #mbfa workout!
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
Sometimes people need to make some modifications to their eating when they start a new fitness program. For 2B Mindset, you might not need to modify what you’re eating with #mbfa, but if you find yourself feeling hungrier, lightheaded, low on energy, or you’re just not getting the results you’re looking for, review the “2B Mindset & Exercise” PDF. For Ultimate Portion Fix, use the Moderately Challenging calculator to determine your calorie bracket.

Day 2: Core Circuit Advanced
US
What did you think of your first day? How are you feeling? Ready to crush today? Remember, this is 3 weeks of daily workouts—a huge commitment, but one I KNOW you can do.
Before we jump into the workout, I want to take a minute to emphasize the importance of drinking enough water. So often, people ask how much they should drink, so here’s a simple equation: take your weight and divide by 2. And that’s how many ounces of water you should be drinking every day. And yes, coffee and tea are fine in moderation, but they shouldn’t take the place of those glasses of water.
Today is Core Circuit Advanced. You’ll torch fat and sculpt your abs with alternating blocks of cardio and core exercises. An AMRAP finisher will make sure you maximize your burn.
About 30 minutes before every workout, I take Energize. If you know me, you know a workout never happens without it. The energy boost helps motivate me to start my workout, and helps me perform better during it. 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 taking half your recommended serving tomorrow.*†

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 taking half your recommended serving tomorrow.*†

What did you think of your first day? How are you feeling? Ready to crush today? Remember, this is 3 weeks of daily workouts—a huge commitment, but one I KNOW you can do.
Before we jump into the workout, I want to take a minute to emphasize the importance of drinking enough water. So often, people ask how much they should drink, so here’s a simple equation: take your weight and divide by 2. And that’s how many ounces of water you should be drinking every day. And yes, coffee and tea are fine in moderation, but they shouldn’t take the place of those glasses of water.
Today is Core Circuit Advanced. You’ll torch fat and sculpt your abs with alternating blocks of cardio and core exercises. An AMRAP finisher will make sure you maximize your burn.

Day 3: Upper Body Burn Advanced
If you’re doing #mbfa directly after finishing #mbf, how are you feeling? What are you noticing so far about the workouts and pace? Megan is an incredible motivator and she gets me MOVING! I love it. If you’re jumping straight into #mbfa, what are you liking so far?
Today is Upper Body Burn Advanced. You’ll work your entire upper half while lifting to the beat with more classic weightlifting and asymmetrical training. When you’re building muscle, you’re burning fat—and trust me, asymmetrical training will help maximize your burn. Watch your form and try to keep up with Megan’s pace.
Super-important thing to remember: Eating healthy does not mean you can’t enjoy your favorite foods. I LOVE pizza, and this Rainbow Veggie Flatbread Pizza is a great alternative that won’t get me off-track: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/rainbow-veggie-flatbread-pizza-recipe
Quick Checklist:
- Have you gotten through all the 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix videos? If yes, and you have questions, DM me.
- Did you meal plan and prep for this week? If not, why not? If yes, what are you noticing?
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 Advanced
We’re back to Core Circuit Advanced. It’s the same as Tuesday, but different moves and more cardio create a new challenge that will leave you dripping, drained, and increasingly defined. Remember to record your AMRAP score so you can beat it next time. How did you do with your AMRAP? This group is here to support you and cheer you on, every step of the way.
We’ve all heard it before—breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But so many people ask me, WHY? Think about this—it sets the tone for your entire day with a solid nutritional foundation (made even better when you add in your daily Shakeology), so make it count. What are your go-to breakfasts? Do you have a favorite from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix? I try to pick one breakfast each week ahead of time to make my meal planning simpler.
Here’s a seriously delicious breakfast recipe for Greek Strawberry Banana Smoothie that features Shakeology: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/greek-strawberry-banana-shakeology
Share your breakfast with us below. I love to see what you’re eating!
Day 5: Full Body Burn Advanced
US
Five days into #mbfa and you’re doing great! One thing I want you to remember is that every day you show up, put in the work, and stay on top of your nutrition puts you one day closer to reaching your goals.
Today’s workout is Full Body Burn Advanced. This intense strength-training session targets muscles throughout your body to build balanced strength and torch serious calories. Megan’s tips and cues aren’t just motivational—they’ll help you become stronger, leaner, and more confident. It’s up to you to push yourselves during these workouts. One way you can get stronger is by lifting heavier weights. It’s important to continue to challenge yourselves!
And to help with recovery, don’t forget your Beachbody Performance Recover—not only can it help build muscle, which is a key to burning fat, but it can also help reduce downtime between workouts. Just make sure you take it within 30 minutes of finishing a workout.*

Day 6: Power Ignite Advanced
As we begin the weekend, I’d love to hear how you prepare your Shakeology? Do you add fruits or keep it simple? Have you explored the recipes from 2B Mindset or Ultimate Portion Fix? What’s your favorite? What are you excited to try?
Today’s 25-minute workout is Power Ignite Advanced. This EMOM (every minute on the minute) workout is short—and seriously hard. The faster you complete your reps during each minute, the more rest you’ll get, so make every second count. Let the music set your pace and drive your intensity.
Day 7: Dynamic Recovery Advanced
US
One week down! Who’s feeling proud? Who’s feeling like they need some extra encouragement to stay focused and committed? Don’t be shy—we’re all in this together, and there’s zero shame in the game.
Finish your week with Dynamic Recovery Advanced, a total-body stretch session that will revitalize tired muscles and accelerate your recovery so you’re ready to crush the week ahead.
A lot of you have asked how Beachbody Performance Recover is counted in 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix. GREAT question. With 2B Mindset, drink it in addition to your meals, but make sure to track it so you know if it’s working for you. With Ultimate Portion Fix, as long as you use it as directed, you can have it in addition to your containers. In both programs, it’s my total go-to post-workout, which I drink within 30 minutes of finishing every workout. It helps give my muscles a jump start on their recovery, and sets me up for the next workout.*
*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.
Do you have a question that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with the group? DM me—let’s see if I can find you the right answer.
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-exercise poor eating habits.” Starving yourself is NOT safe or effective for losing weight or getting strong, either. 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 Advanced
Let’s go! Week 2! If you’ve come into #mbfa from #mbf, your body should be used to the daily workouts. For everyone else, by now I’m hoping your body (and your mind!) have gotten into the rhythm of this program and you are making the most of these daily workouts. Let’s share with each other where we are on our journey, and what you’re thinking as we head into this week.
Go hard with Lower Body Burn Advanced as you target your quads, glutes, and hamstrings with classic weightlifting and asymmetrical training. Go as heavy as you can with good form during the Megan Minutes—the greater the challenge, the greater the results!
Speaking of results, let’s discuss. Are you seeing the results you wanted and/or expected? How has our focus on nutrition helped in the process? A lot of you have reached out to say that 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix have given you the tools to really take control of your nutrition—which is AMAZING. Glad to hear it. If you’re not seeing the results you hoped for, please be sure to DM me so we can dig in and figure out what’s up.
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 Shakeology ice cream, 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 #mbfa.” †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 Advanced
By now, you know how often we are using the BOD Rope. I’ll be honest—I didn’t think it would be the same as a regular jump rope, and after using it for a while I realize how RIGHT I was. Let me explain: Compared to using a regular jump rope, I can more easily focus on things like speed, intensity, and form to push my calorie burn even higher. Who doesn’t love that? I can’t imagine going back to an old-school jump rope where I was constantly worried about tripping.
Today, get moving with Core Circuit Advanced, an intense, core-focused routine that will fire up your metabolism and shift your calorie-burning into overdrive. Can you beat your AMRAP score from last week?
A key part of staying on top of every meal is tracking what you’re eating. Both 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix will have you track your meals or, more specifically, containers in the case of Ultimate Portion Fix. Has tracking meals helped you?
With all of these intense cardio workouts, a lot of people ask me why they’re not seeing the numbers on the scale dropping faster. One possible reason is that they’re putting on muscle, which weighs more than fat by volume. Remember, 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.
Day 10: Upper Body Burn Advanced
US
Let’s talk progress and results. Too often, people mix these up—or think they’re the same thing. To me, progress is all about what we’re achieving AS WE GO. What’s your energy level now versus when you started the program? How are you sleeping and eating? Do you FEEL stronger? All of these are indicators of your progress, or in other words, what has changed since day one. Take a moment and make a note of those.
Now, let’s talk results. Are you lifting heavier? Are your AMRAP numbers increasing? Has the number gone down on the scale and/or are you losing inches? Remember, results come in so many forms—on the scale, how clothing fits, inches lost, definition in your body, and so on.
Fill us in on your progress AND results.
Today is Upper Body Burn Advanced. Your chest, back, shoulders, and arms will be begging for mercy by the time you finish this intense strength-training session. Stay strong. You got this.
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 recipe for Vegan S’mores Shakeology: 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 almost every day, but not anymore.* 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 Advanced
When you want to lose weight, feel better, or just change your habits—really, when you set ANY goal—the one thing I’ve seen that helps people succeed is accountability. Setting a goal is a good start, but ALL of us need support, motivation, and accountability to get across the finish line. Let’s take a moment to restate our goals and give each other a boost.
Today is Core Circuit Advanced. It’s just like Tuesday but with some new moves and more heart-pounding cardio. Keep a towel handy—you’re going to need it.
Staying fueled throughout the day is so important. In addition to healthy meals, my go-to snack is BEACHBAR. I learned a hack from Ilana to crumble them into my plain yogurt as a topping. Delicious! Plus, I always keep one in my bag for when I’m hungry and on-the-go, and need to hold myself over until meal time. In case you forgot, BEACHBAR is a great protein option for those following 2B Mindset, and counts as ½ red, ½ yellow, and 1 tsp. for those following Ultimate Portion Fix.
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 13: Power Ignite Advanced
It’s a perfect day for Power Ignite Advanced. Follow Megan’s lead as she guides you through another high-intensity EMOM session. Push hard and keep your pace fast to maximize your rest time.
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 #mbfa 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 for 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 tasty recipe I found for Vegan Buddha Bowl with Spring Vegetables: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/vegan-buddha-bowl-with-spring-vegetables
Day 14: Dynamic Recovery Advanced
Let’s ease into today with Dynamic Recovery Advanced. This active stretch and flow recovery class will help ease tension, boost mobility, and optimize your recovery as you prepare to tackle your final week of #mbfa.
Today is also perfect for meal prep. As Autumn always says, “it’s not half the battle it IS the battle.” Take the time today to plan your meals and make a grocery list. If you are a member of Nutrition+, check out all the great recipes (new ones added weekly) and monthly meal plans if you need a place to start.
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 Advanced
US
Just seven days left! Lower Body Burn Advanced will hammer your bottom half with targeted exercises designed to help you build rock-solid strength. The Megan Minutes are the key to optimal results, so push hard to squeeze the most out of every rep.
Are you getting enough protein? You might notice these workouts getting tougher, but you’re also getting stronger, so it’s important you’re drinking your Recover, which has 20 grams of premium protein in each serving, to help make sure you’re feeding your muscles what they need to recover and grow.* Your daily Shakeology also has 16–17 grams of protein per serving, plus 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix highlight plenty of other healthy protein sources like eggs, chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, and more, including vegan options like organic tofu and tempeh. Bottom line: Protein is key to muscle growth, so don’t skimp on it.

Recipe here: https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/birthday-cake-energy-balls-recipe
Today is Core Circuit Advanced. If you aren’t dripping in sweat by the time you finish this workout, you probably didn’t push hard enough. Megan keeps the intensity high to help you maximize your fat-burning and abs-sculpting.
How are you doing? Let’s check in with each other.

Today’s workout hits a lot of the glamour muscles—the ones you notice first when you put on that tank top. So, let’s jump in full-force. Upper Body Burn Advanced is your ticket to a lean, defined torso, so attack each move with everything you’ve got to achieve the body you’ve always wanted.
Nutrition Daily Check-In:
How would you describe your nutrition on a scale of 1–10? 10 means 100% on-point and on-track to reaching 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 Advanced
We are cruising fast through this week! You know the drill—today is your last AMRAP session, so push hard and accept nothing less than a new personal record. It’s Core Circuit Advanced. Let’s cheer one another’s successes.
You’ll definitely want to eat well after this workout. Have you tried the Animal Style Cauliflower from 2B Mindset or the Carnitas & Salsa from Ultimate Portion Fix? They’re both fantastic and great sources of protein.
As we near the end of these incredible 3 weeks, you’ll want to block out time for your AFTER pictures and measurements. We’ll do those after our last workout, but I wanted to mention them now, because some folks dread these. DON’T. Your pictures not only keep you motivated to stay on your fitness and wellness track, but can also be a HUGE source of inspiration to someone else. Have you been inspired by BEFORE and AFTER pictures?
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 #mbfa and reach their goals.
†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.
Day 19: Full Body Burn Advanced
Let’s talk about these last few days of #mbfa. Yesterday, I asked you to start thinking about your AFTER pictures and measurements. One thing I want to share today is really important: All of this DOESN’T end in 2 days. Your journey is just beginning. Getting fit. Eating healthier. Creating better habits. That’s what you’ve really been working on, and my greatest hope is that you will continue to do all those things even after we wrap up. So, even though this program is coming to an end, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about what’s next. Another round of #mbfa? Another Beachbody On Demand program? Let us know in the comments!
Today is Full Body Burn Advanced. You’ll hit your legs, glutes, core, arms, chest, and back by the time you’re done with this comprehensive resistance workout. Keep up with Megan and the cast to achieve new levels of strength, stamina, and power.
A lot of you have reached out with concerns about how to stay on-track when we wrap up. While finding and starting a new fitness program is a great next step, staying on top of your nutrition with 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix can give you a lifetime of positive change. Need help or want to bounce around some ideas for how to keep going? DM me, or reach out to the group!
Day 20: Power Ignite Advanced
One last workout before we dial it down tomorrow with our recovery day. But before we jump into it, I just want to say how proud I am of your effort, commitment, and GUTS you’ve shown me—and each other. Getting this far (and through tomorrow) is a HUGE accomplishment, and I really hope you take a few minutes to digest what you’ve accomplished with #mbfa. Pretty awesome stuff.
Let’s get to it: it’s Power Ignite Advanced. Get in and out with this quick, 25-minute EMOM workout that turns your body into a calorie-burning inferno.
As we near the finish line, there might be a lot of emotions swirling around. Some of that might have to do with your eating habits, and how you may have changed them for the better during this program. We all have a different relationship with food depending on how we grew up, cultural expectations, and experiences that shaped our way of thinking and eating. 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix can help you get past those blocks, so you can feel good about the body you’re in, and set you up to help rewire your body for good, for the long haul. I’ve talked about Ultimate Portion Fix because that’s the solution I use (I’ve loved Autumn’s container system from the beginning, and this plan takes it to another level). But, my friend happens to be on 2B Mindset and it’s working for her because she likes the freedom that comes with Ilana’s method—she knows as long as she gets her water first and veggies most, she doesn’t feel the self-imposed pressure that was keeping her from getting results. What’s worked for you, and why?
Day 21: Dynamic Recovery Advanced
This. Is. It. Can you believe it? I’m so proud of everyone in this group, and I hope you are, too. You’ve definitely earned today’s workout, Dynamic Recovery Advanced. Breathe deeply and stretch purposefully as you ease tension throughout your body. Today is your last recovery day, and you’ve earned every rejuvenating second of it. Enjoy the flow as you look ahead to your next challenge—perhaps another round of #mbfa?
Now comes the fun part. It’s time to take your AFTER pictures, write down your new measurements, and post those #mbfa transformation pics. You’ll get a free #mbf T-shirt (while supplies last) for entering the Beachbody Challenge contest and you’ll also have a chance to win cash prizes. Go to 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.
I’m so happy I could help you through this journey, and bring us all together. Remember, this isn’t the end—just the beginning of your health and wellness journey.
