Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 1 |

Ready to treat yourself to a month of more? Welcome to our Mes de Más Challenge Group!

Our group is designed to help guide and support you as you make this journey to a healthier you over the month ahead. Idalis’ practical approach to fitness and nutrition makes it easy to incorporate healthier decisions into your everyday routine, so you can get the absolute most out of your month of more. And I know that will lead to a healthier, happier you!

Consider a 3-Day Refresh this week.
Creating change is so much easier when you can start your weight loss journey with positive results. That’s why I recommend that everyone tries to do 3-Day Refresh during our prep week. It’s 3 days of clean eating designed to nourish your body and help you break bad eating habits. Not only can you lose a couple of pounds right off the bat (and who doesn’t want that!), but 3-Day Refresh can help make sure we go into our Mes de Más with our bodies already in “weight loss mode,” and with some new, healthy habits already in place. *

Consider a 3-Day Refresh this week.

SHAKEOLOGY® as part of a healthy breakfast.

Your body needs the right nutrition to conquer the challenge ahead! Your daily Shakeology has a potent blend of premium proteins, probiotics, fiber, digestive enzymes, superfoods, and vitamins. It can help benefit your overall health, as well as help you to lose weight, curb cravings, and have good healthy energy to power through your day.*

VANILLA FRESH shakes for lunch and dinner.

I LOVE these shakes—not only do they help curb my hunger, but they taste great and are packed with 20 grams of good-for-you plant-based protein, plus essential vitamins and minerals, a good source of fiber, and probiotics to support healthy digestion! *

FIBER SWEEP® drink.

Fiber is so important for eliminating waste from our digestive systems—but we don’t always get enough of it in our daily diet. I’m a big fan of Fiber Sweep because it’s gentle and natural. Soluble fiber from the psyllium husk in Fiber Sweep, combined with a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may even reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.*

Real, healthy food! You’ll find suggestions in your PROGRAM GUIDE.

The 3-Day Refresh is nothing like those cleanses that don’t allow you to eat—you’ll be eating regular meals each day. You’ll find an easy-to-use 3-Day Refresh Program Guide (in both Spanish and English) on Beachbody On Demand, that walks you through all 3 days of the program—it even tells you which foods to shop for—along with offering lots of great recipes and suggestions for healthy foods to eat throughout the program.

If you are interested in jumpstarting your month of more, please let me know.

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 2 |

Throughout the month, we will be working out 6 days a week, for around 20 to 30 minutes a day. You can do all the workouts using just your body weight, but you’ll see Idalis and the cast using a Beachbody Yoga Mat for comfort and joint support—and best of all—as a target for many of the exercises. If you want to improve your results even more, Mes de Más also incorporates an intensifier. The intensifier takes the exercises to the next level using the Beachbody PT Sandbag to increase both the challenge and the calorie burn.

This support group will help guide you through your month of more as you learn healthier habits, stay accountable to your workouts, and fuel your body with proper nutrition, including Shakeology. Throughout, I’ll be available to answer your questions, and help you in any way I can, without judgement. We’re all here to help and support each other.

In addition, I’ll be sending along helpful fitness tips, nutrition and recipe advice, fun challenges, interesting facts, and what I hope will be nuggets of motivation to help you achieve your goals.

Please introduce yourself to the group by answering the questions below.

  1. Why are you committing to this challenge?
  2. Where do you live?
  3. What’s your occupation?
  4. Which Shakeology flavor(s) are you drinking?
  5. Which flavor of BEACHBAR do you prefer?
  6. Are you getting started with 3-Day Refresh?
  7. Why did you choose Mes de Más?
  8. How can we best support you to reach your goals?

Now, here’s a special message from your trainer for the next month, Idalis Velazquez.

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 3 |

Now is the best time to familiarize yourself with all the Mes de Más program materials—and with Beachbody On Demand. That’s where you’ll find all the workouts and everything you need to get started—including your workout calendar, nutrition guide, and daily tracker sheets to keep track of your progress. Just go to BeachbodyOnDemand.com. You can stream your workouts from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You can also stream Beachbody On Demand through your TV using Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast.

If you haven’t yet downloaded the Beachbody On Demand app for iPhone, iPad, or Android, I suggest you do it today! That way, your workouts will be wherever you are. And for those times when you don’t have internet, you can download your workouts ahead of time to view offline.

Here are all the Mes de Más materials you’ll find on Beachbody On Demand:

Mes de Más 30-Day Workout Calendar:
Although I’ll be posting our daily workouts, it’s a good idea to reference the Mes de Más Workout Calendar under the Program Materials tab on Beachbody On Demand. While you’re there, I recommend you print out the calendar to keep with you as a quick reference tool—as well as a place to "check the box" as you complete each workout.

Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide:
Today is the perfect day to familiarize yourself with the way you’ll be eating over the next 4 weeks. Just go to your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide (if you don’t already have a printed copy, you’ll find it online under Program Materials on Beachbody On Demand) to discover all the healthy and delicious food you’ll be eating along the way.

Mes de Más Daily Tracker:
Throughout this month, I’ll be asking you to carefully track your progress—that’s the best way to stay motivated and accountable to finding success with the program! The Daily Tracker—which you’ll find within your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide—is your daily accountability journal. You’ll be tracking—not only your daily physical changes—but your daily food and water consumption, the Shakeology you drank, your thoughts and observations, and anything else you may be feeling. Don’t forget to do this, as I’ll be asking you to refer to it often in our group discussions!

Want an even simpler way to divvy up your food portions?
The Beachbody Portion-Control Containers are designed to work with your Mes de Más Eating Plan and they make it a breeze to quickly and easily find the perfect portion to eat with every meal.

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 4 |

Before beginning your Month of More, I encourage you to take time now to prepare the space where you’ll be doing your workouts. Even though all the Mes de Más workouts can be done using body weight alone, the program is designed to let you incorporate both the Beachbody Yoga Mat and the Beachbody PT Sandbag to help get even better results.

Beachbody Yoga Mat:

Mes de Más 30-Day Workout Calendar:

The Beachbody Yoga Mat adds comfort, stability, and slip-resistance to your Mes de Más routines, but I like using it to introduce some extra challenge and fun to the workouts. Use it as a target-marker during cardio and agility drills or to add resistance to the exercises.

Beachbody PT Sandbag (Optional):
As you get stronger throughout the month, you might choose to follow the "intensifier" who demonstrates a more challenging version of every move using the Beachbody PT Sandbag to add weight and resistance. The entire Mes de Mas program was designed to incorporate the PT Sandbag as a way to help you safely and gradually add difficulty to your routines.

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 5 |

With Mes de Más, nutrition is all about giving you more—more healthy foods to include into your diet, so you have more energy to help you get even more dramatic results. Be sure to reference the Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide to find the Eating Plan that’s right for you. While you’re there, check out all the handy tips and tools—like the nutrient-dense food lists—that can help make daily meal planning easier.

And by the way&ellip;Mes de Más also means more flavor. No boring meals here! You can find popular Latin recipes under Mes De Más Program Materials on Beachbody On Demand. That’s where you’ll also find "flavor booster" recipes you can add to any meal to give it a little extra umpf! Plus, a sample weekly menu and grocery list to help with food prep.

I can’t wait to see how your meals turn out!

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 6 |

You may have noticed that Shakeology is incorporated throughout the program. There’s a reason why…Shakeology gives you the nutritional foundation you need EVERY DAY.

That’s why I drink it every day (and so does Idalis!). It’s carefully formulated with a potent blend of premium proteins, probiotics, fiber, digestive enzymes, superfoods, and vitamins—with unique ingredients that can be pretty hard to get from the average diet, let alone track down in a grocery store. I love drinking it and knowing that I’m helping my body do what it was truly designed to do.*

Starting my day with a healthy foundation feels so good! Plus, I don’t mind the fact that it tastes like an amazing treat!

What’s your favorite Shakeology recipe? Mine is [INSERT YOUR FAVORITE RECIPE].

You can find Shakeology recipes in your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide and you’ll find even more Mes de Más-approved Shakeology recipes under the Nutrition tab in your Program Materials on Beachbody On Demand.

Also, if you’re looking for a yummy snack with plenty of protein, try BEACHBAR snack bars. With 10 grams of protein and just 150 calories, they’re great at taking the edge off my hunger—and they’re a perfect fit with my Mes de Mas eating plan!

Mes de Más | Week 0 | Prep Week Day 7 |

Tomorrow is the big day and I couldn’t be more excited to be starting this journey with you. Today is the day to prepare yourself for success. Here’s a brief check list of everything I recommend you complete before tomorrow.

  • Make sure you’ve logged your beginning weight and body measurements in your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide. I suggest you ask a buddy to help you do this.
  • Take your before photos. Numbers are nice but a picture is worth a thousand words.
  • Grocery shop and prep your meals for the days ahead. The more time you spend prepping meals now can save you tons of time throughout the week!
  • Make sure your Shakeology is ready to go and you have some BEACHBAR snack bars on hand before you begin your workouts.
  • Locate your workout area and make sure it’s free of clutter and has the space you need. It should be at least as long and wide as the length of your yoga mat. A 6X6 space works well for most people.
  • Get all of your equipment together. Test the weight of your sandbag if you have one. You don’t want to have to stop during your workout to make an adjustment.

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 1 | Cardio 1

Welcome to the official start of Mes de Más. I hope you’re as excited as I am to be treating yourself to a Month of More!

Today’s workout is Cardio 1. This short routine will get your heart rate up and your body burning calories as Idalis runs you through 10 simple exercises. Remember to pace yourself, modify when you need to, and don’t be afraid to press "pause" if you can’t keep up with the video. Pay close attention to Idalis’ cueing, especially if this is your first time through these exercises. It’s important that you maintain proper form to avoid injury and help get the most out of each daily workout.

Alright, you’re ready to go! Grab your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag (if you plan on intensifying), and let’s get ready to get More!

image

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 2 | Upper Body 1

By now, you should have a solid day under your belt, and you should have tracked your meals, water, Shakeology, sleep and more. You may be already sensing some potential challenges that may lie ahead—perhaps you’re consuming your food too early or too late in the day, or maybe you’re not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep. Now is the time to assess the situation, make adjustments, and do your best to plan ahead. For example, if you found yourself eating dinner 20 minutes before going to bed or getting only 6 hours of sleep, adjust what you’re doing accordingly. Your tracker exists for that very reason, to help you track what’s working and what is not. You don’t need to be perfect, you only need to learn from your experience and do a little better every day. So listen to what your Tracker is telling you. If you need to, set an alarm and get to bed earlier, or eat your meals on a set schedule, or shift your workout time. The changes you make now will help set you up for success for the rest of this week and the remainder of the program.

Let’s get ready for our Upper Body 1! This resistance workout focuses on your chest, arms, shoulders, back and core. Now get your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag (if you plan on intensifying), and let’s get ready to get stronger!

image

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 3 | Lower Body 1

You may be a little sore after yesterday’s workout, and a lack of hydration can often intensify muscle soreness, so make sure you’re drinking plenty of water. Idalis recommends that you drink half your bodyweight in fluid ounces, daily. That may sound like a lot of water to consume in a day, and if you’re not used to it, you might find it challenging. Water has many benefits aside from helping with soreness, however. it can help increase energy, relieve fatigue, promote weight loss, flush out toxins, support regularity, and help boost the immune system, as well as making you feel full so you can control your appetite. Remember to track your water consumption in your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide! Tip: Depending on your weight and water goal, decide for yourself how much water consumption each "drop" on the Tracker will represent for you. I recommend assigning 10 or 20 fl oz./drop. That makes it easy to calculate throughout the day. The goal is to track and make sure you’re getting More water.

Go ahead and fill up your water bottle, and let’s get going with today’s workout. Lower Body 1 is made up of 16 leg and booty-sculpting moves that emphasize the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. Grab your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag (if you plan on intensifying), and let’s get ready to better ourselves!

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 4 | Mobility 1

Congratulations, we’re already more than halfway through our first week of Mes de Más! I hope you’ve been tracking all of your portions and your food observations because today is going to be all about nutrition. If you’re on track with your nutrition so far…great! But for any of us who are still struggling, here are a few helpful tips.

It often takes a little time to adjust when transitioning from a somewhat unhealthy diet to a diet that’s healthier. The volume of food you’re now eating have changed significantly, so you might either be finding yourself hungry, or on the opposite end of the scale, struggling to finish all of your food. If it’s the latter, a great tip I’ve found is to spread out my portions as widely as possible throughout the day. Try to eat small meals, every two to three hours, if you can. This will help you stay fueled and help prevent you from “force-feeding" in a single sitting. If you’re used to eating larger amounts of food and you’re finding yourself hungry, give your body time to adjust to the new portions before you consider moving up to a higher-calorie plan. Hunger doesn’t necessarily mean you need more food, your body may simply be responding to the change in eating habits, or to boredom or some other external trigger.

If you are having trouble with recipe ideas, be sure to visit the Mes de Más Program Materials page on Beachbody On Demand. That’s where you’ll find tons of snack, meal, and tasty Latin recipes. It can be challenging enough to eat healthy—it’s often even more challenging when you’re eating the same meals every day, so I encourage you to mix it up with these recipes. Give the "insert favorite recipe here" a try; I think it’s totally delicious!

Today’s workout is Mobility 1. Not only will this workout make you feel great, it will help increase your flexibility, joint range of motion, and overall mobility! Today, you’ll only need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel.

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 5 | Total Body 1

Mes de Más is more than just a Month of More health and nutrition. It’s designed to keep you motivated even after your month is over—by helping you incorporate all the healthy habits you’re learning into your everyday life. So each week, I’ll be introducing a weekly challenge that will help you get the most out the program.

This week’s challenge is to try at least one new vegetable. This is the perfect time to expand your palate and introduce new, healthy foods into your diet. Visit the Food Lists in your Mes de Más Tracker and Nutrition Guide, pick a vegetable you’ve never tried before, and work it into your daily meal plan. Let me know me what you’ve tried…and how you like it!

We also have a new workout today! Total Body 1 is packed with fun-to-do resistance exercises focused on your legs, arms, chest, back, booty and core. So let’s grab our Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag (if you plan on intensifying), and get ready to work our total body!

image

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 6 |

How is everyone feeling after yesterday’s total body workout? You may be feeling a little sore, which is to be expected when starting a new exercise program and taking on all new moves. Remember you can always slow down, make your movements less deep, or just hit pause on the workout. As long as you keep progressing, and you’re using good form, then I encourage you to keep pushing yourself!

Today’s workout—Agility 1—is all about speed, accuracy, and sweat! You’ll be introduced to two new mat setups to keep you on your toes! You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag, if you plan on intensifying.

image

Mes de Más | Week 1 | Day 7 | Rest Day 1

Rest day is the best day… to plan for the week ahead! Take a moment to review your Daily Tracker entries over your first week. How did you do? Congratulate yourself on your wins! You made it through your first week and that alone is something to celebrate. As we do, however, it’s also a good time to think about where our challenges lie and how we might make better progress next week. If you’re not hitting your water goals, maybe use a water bottle that holds more ounces. If you’re not getting enough sleep, you might make your bedtime a little bit earlier to make sure you’re getting enough rest. If you’re having trouble with nutrition, you might plan, shop, and prep all your week’s meals in advance—and be sure to include Shakeology in your meal plan—so you’ll always have a tasty Mes de Más-approved meal or snack within reach. Having trouble with a certain exercise? I recommend you go back and review the move, then practice it in front of a mirror. In addition, I encourage everyone to step on the scale this week and track the weight changes you’re seeing.

I want to hear from you! Post some of your wins from this week and let’s get ready for week two!

Week 2

Day 1: Total Body 2

Day 2: Agility 2

Day 3: Upper Body 2

Day 4: Mobility 2

Day 5: Lower Body 2

Day 6: Cardio 2

Day 7: Rest Day 2

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 1 | Total Body 2

It’s a new week and a new you! Week 1 is in the books — now it’s time to refocus and build on everything you’ve already learned. Today is a Total Body resistance day, and that means 12 moves in two rounds designed to work your body from head to toe. These moves may feel challenging, but they can also be a lot of fun, particularly when you add a challenge by using your rolled up yoga mat or sandbag to increase resistance.

Remember, there’s no such thing as failure on your Month of More! There are only new opportunities to grow and succeed. If you struggled last week, this is a whole new opportunity and a clean slate. This week, focus on an area where you might have fallen short last week, and do your best to improve on it. Maybe you’ll decide to get a bit more rest. Maybe it’s having the willpower to avoid that cheat meal. Whatever it is, every day this week is an opportunity to get closer to your goal. This week, the workouts will build on what you’ve already done and get a little more complex, so get ready to take those learnings from last week and ratchet them up!

image

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 2 | Agility 2

Today’s workout is Agility 2—and it has a whole new set of agility drills for you to try, so get ready to react quickly. You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and * Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

Throughout Mes De Mas, we want you to have more, and that includes more healthy foods. If you’re finding you’re still hungry this week, here are some suggestions:

  • Keep food out-of-sight and out-of-mind. Studies show that looking at food—whether it’s on social media or sitting on that candy dish on your office mate’s desk—can actually trigger hunger. Stop following your favorite Chicago pizzeria on Instagram, and politely tell your colleague to put his candy in a drawer.
  • Lower your stress levels. Increased levels of stress can throw your hunger hormones out of whack, making it hard to resist the urge to overeat.
  • When you eat, slow down! It takes between 20-30 minutes for your stomach to register as full. If you eat too quickly, you might keep going unnecessarily.
  • Incorporate Shakeology into your day as part of a healthy meal or snack. Just one shake is packed with protein and superfood ingredients that can help keep you feeling full and curb your cravings.*

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 3 | Upper Body 2

We hope you’re rested up and ready for today’s Upper Body 2 workout. For this workout you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

For many of us, when prioritizing our daily tasks, sleep is the first thing we sacrifice. Working to reach your goals is important — but sleep is essential if you want to be successful in doing so. Getting a proper night’s rest (7 Ð 9 hours) can lower stress levels, improve cognitive skills, enhance your mood, and even improve appearance of skin. Studies have actually shown a correlation between quality sleep and weight control. So, take a look at your Daily Tracker, assess your sleeping patterns, and adjust your schedule to ensure you’re properly rested and recharged for the remainder of this month!

image

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 4 | Mobility 2

It’s mobility day! For many of you, this might be a welcome break from the more intense workouts. You might even be thinking of taking this day as a rest day — but I would strongly recommend you don’t. This workout is here in the program for a reason, and that means it’s not optional. Mobility is the cornerstone of fitness, helping you stay healthy in all sorts of ways. This workout is designed to help increase your flexibility and joint range of motion, help make all your movements more efficient, and aid your recovery from the other workouts. If you’re feeling a little tight or sore, feel free to include this workout more than once during the week.

Today, you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel.

image

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 5 | Lower Body 2

Today’s workout is Lower Body 2. You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying. You’ve got 14 moves in 2 rounds focused on your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves.

It’s challenge time again! For today’s challenge, pay it forward and try to find a workout buddy. Don’t worry if you can’t find one today — just make sure to find a buddy this week. Not only is this a great way to help someone else get more out of their day, working out with a friend has great benefits for you, too! Partnering up can help increase accountability and it may even help you push harder during your workout! Snap a photo of you and your buddy working up a sweat to one of this week’s Mes De Más workouts and share it with our group!

image

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 6 | Cardio 2

It’s time to get energized for Cardio 2! Today is all about getting your heart rate up, burning calories, and getting a good sweat in! You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

If you’re having trouble getting started with your workouts, or maybe you need a little extra energy to get a jumpstart, you might want to try Beachbody Energize. Before you get active, take Energize to help sharpen focus, push harder, and last longer.*

*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.

With Mes De Más, you’re never hungry. But you might not be used to eating so many clean foods and may find it challenging to hit your allotted vegetables for the day. If this is true for you, consider adding Beachbody Power Greens as one of your vegetable (Green) portions. Add a scoop to your Shakeology and you won’t even notice it’s there.

image

Mes de Más | Week 2 | Day 7 | Rest Day 2

It’s that time again! Take a moment and review your Tracker Tool for your second week. How did you do? Did you improve since last week? Congratulate yourself on your wins! You made it through another week and that’s reason to celebrate. Acknowledge your victories but also take time to see what challenges lie ahead and how you can improve upon them next week. If you found yourself over-snacking, tweak your eating schedule or keep a healthy snack nearby. If you’re feeling tired, adjust your bedtime accordingly to ensure you get enough rest. Also, remember to step on the scale this week and track any weight change you may experience.

I want to hear from you! Post some of your wins from this week and let’s get ready for week three!

Day 6: Agility 3

Day 7: Rest Day 3

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 1 | Lower Body 3

Let’s finish the second half even stronger starting with Lower Body 3 workout! Today you have 2 rounds of 14 moves focused on sculpted legs, a lifted booty, and a strong core. You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

Congrats on making it halfway through Mes De Más! You’ve done a great job sticking to your commitment to improve your health and wellness. As you reflect on what you’ve accomplished so far, it’s time to reassess and ask yourself some key questions. Are you on track to achieve the results you want? Do you feel stronger? Are you losing weight? Are adapting to the eating plan?

If you’re on track or going above and beyond, that’s great. Keep up the good work! You’ll get even more out of the workouts during the second half of the program if you push harder and turn up the intensity (but remember to listen to your body and don’t overdo it).

Remember, the scale is not the ultimate judge and it only tells part of the story, so let’s see some photos of your progress so we can celebrate you!

image

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 2 | Upper Body 3

I hope you’ve fueled up for today’s Upper Body 3 workout. This resistance workout, with 16 moves and 2 rounds, focuses on your back, shoulders, chest, arms, and abs. You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

Let’s keep this week moving! An important part of this challenge group is sharing information and supporting our fellow challengers. Let’s hear your favorite Shakeology flavor and your go-to recipe. If you’re not a master Shakeology mixologist yet, you can always try the recipes shared here or the ones found in your Tracker and Nutrition Guide. Explore the different ways you can get your Daily Dose of Dense Nutrition¨ so you can take on any challenge and maximize your results.

image

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 3 | Mobility 3

For today’s Mobility 3 workout, you’ll only need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel. This workout is fast but really important to do if you want to keep seeing results and reduce the chances of injury.

It’s weekly challenge time again — let’s change it up a bit and take our workout outdoors! Head to the park or your backyard with your laptop, tablet, or phone, and enjoy a refreshing change of scenery. Along with helping you get your vitamin D, outdoor workouts can help elevate your mood, stave off depression, and leave you feeling invigorated, which makes for a more enjoyable day! If being outside isn’t an option, try a new workout environment to change things up.

image

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 4 | Cardio 3

For today’s Cardio 3 workout, you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel. You have 2 rounds of 10 moves to get that heart rate up and the sweat flowing.

I want to hear from you! Are you enjoying the workouts? Which is your favorite? (insert your favorites and why). Any tips you can share that have helped you stay motivated? Let’s keep the support and advice going, so you can finish even stronger than you started.

image

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 5 | Total Body 3

Get ready to elevate your fitness! For today’s Total Body 3 workout, you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying. You have 12 moves in 2 rounds to get stronger all over!

It’s great to see how much stronger you’ve become over the first half of the program. Some of you have already begun intensifying your workouts, while others are also making huge strides. If you want to know when to step it up or stop modifying — or when to really intensify — here’s a good way to gauge:

Should you step it up?

  1. Do you feel like you could keep going at the end of every exercise?
  2. Do you barely break a sweat or feel completely in control of your breath?
  3. Do you never feel soreness or muscle tightness the day after a workout?
  4. Can you sing a song while you are exercising?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you should strongly consider stepping it up.

Should you tone it down?

  1. Are you exhausted to the point of needing to sleep after every workout?
  2. Are you sore for several days after a workout?
  3. Do you feel irrationally angry or sad, have difficulty concentrating, or have a loss of enthusiasm?

If you answered yes to any of the above, tone it down.

image

Mes de Más | Week 3 | Day 6 | Agility 3

For today’s Agility 3 workout, you’ll be using your old friend — the Beachbody Yoga Mat. If you’ve been having trouble folding or keeping the mat in place, here are a couple tricks I’ve learned.

Fold the mat lengthwise the night before and lay a book or two on the edges to help the mat stay flush. Another option is to keep a couple of small strips of scotch or paper tape nearby to secure the edges together. Just make sure you use a tape that won’t damage your mat, as we have several different formations during this workout and we don’t want you spending too much time taping your mat.

For today’s Agility 3 workout, you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel, and Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

This is our last agility day together. You’ve probably noticed so far that the agility routines all revolve around quick, efficient movements and reactions. More than just a fun way to get your cardio in, agility is a complex and beneficial fitness component. The added benefits of agility include improvement of dynamic balance, enhancement of natural reflexes, increase of coordination andgenerMoti force production, and recruitment of more muscle fibers. So, for this last agility workout, show off all the progress you’ve made and focus on executing each move with as much precision, speed, and efficiency as possible!

For today’s Mobility 4 workout, you’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel. You know these moves, and you know they feel amazing, so really sink in and reap all the benefits of this last mobility workout.

Our final weekly challenge is here! We saved the best for last — this may be the most challenging assignment yet but, trust me, you’ll feel better after you get through it.

I challenge you to do something for at least one hour today that makes YOU happy. That’s right, it’s time to treat yourself and put yourself first, if only for 60 minutes. This hour can be used to do anything that brings you joy. Go for a long walk in the park. Escape into that book you haven’t had time for. Work on a craft project. Go get a massage. Heck, maybe just take a long nap! It’s all about 60 minutes of self-care and the possibilities are endless. Be sure to share how you pamper yourself with the group! I can’t wait to hear how you spend your hour.

Mes de Más | Week 4 | Day 4 | Lower Body 4

For today’s Lower Body 4 workout you’ll have 12 final intense moves to sculpt your legs, booty, and core! You’ll need your Beachbody Yoga Mat, water, and towel, plus your Beachbody PT Sandbag if you plan on intensifying.

Let’s talk about food! What’s everyone been eating this final week? If you want to look your absolute best for your final results photos, it’s important to stay on top of your nutrition through the finish. If you’re like most of my challengers, you’ve probably learned a lot about nutrition and meal-prep simply through trial and error. There’s no shame in that game — we all learn that way. The important part is you’re learning healthy habits and bettering yourself along the way.

What are some food struggles you’ve faced so far? How did you overcome them?

Hot Tip! If you haven’t done your meal prep for the week, now is the perfect time to check out the Mes De Más Recipe Collection on Beachbody On Demand. The online collection includes a sample week, complete with grocery list, to make shopping and prep time even easier. I can’t wait to see what you cook up!

I hope you’re feeling empowered and accomplished as we near the end of your Mes de Más journey. You may have discovered a newfound love for health and wellness along the way…that’s what happened to me when I completed my first Beachbody program. And now I get to work with people like you, each one of you on your own path to self-improvement —breaking barriers, bettering yourselves, and improving the quality of your lives. How cool is that?

Beachbody has made it possible for me to help others achieve their goals and that’s the most rewarding part about doing this. If Mes de Más has been a positive experience for you and you want to share that with others, I encourage you to consider becoming a Team Beachbody Coach. Take it from me, it’s one of the most fulfilling ways possible to do something you love!
