In their hearts human beings plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9

What is Core De Force?

What could you accomplish in just 30 days? How about getting into knockout shape — with a workout designed to help you drop serious weight, carve your entire core, and leave you feeling empowered!
 
CORE DE FORCE is the first program from our newest Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews. From strength training to dance to yoga, they’ve helped thousands get fit with all kinds of workouts. And they’ll be the first to tell you… if you want to transform your entire body and shed the belly fat, nothing beats CORE DE FORCE‘s mixed martial arts-style training.

Here’s how it works: each workout is broken into 3-minute “rounds” — just like a real boxing match. In those 3 minutes you’ll alternate between addictive Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai-inspired combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes that kick your fat burn into overdrive. But all that punching and kicking doesn’t just burn calories. Each move, whether it’s a jab or a knee, is rotational, giving you a 360-degree core workout that will tighten up your entire midsection. All you have to do is hit it hard 3 minutes at a time and before you know it — you’re done!









Who is Core De Force For? Core De Force is for EVERYONE.  Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level in your fitness you can do this workout.  You will enjoy the challenge of taking the intensity higher to improve your cardio strength, speed and endurance.  Each MMA inspired workout has an optional move breakdown to help you get familiar with the combinations.

There is also a “modifier track”  so you can follow a split screen if you would like as well.
Core De Force also focuses on rotational moves which means you will work your core from 360 degrees every time you hit play. That is going to be awesome for all of us who really want to tone that trouble area!

How long are the workouts?  
The workouts are 30-45 minutes in length and you workout 6 days a week with a stretch on the 7th.  The workout program is 30 days in length.
There are 8 workouts in the program
MMA Speed- ∫ Upper body and core focused boxing influenced workout. (27 minutes)
MMA Shred- Muay Thai inspired elbow and kicks for total body shred. (37 minutes)
MMA Power- Uses explosive and defensive style movements in this fast paced cardio conditioning workout (47 minutes)
MMA Plyo- Core De Force is an MMA style home fitness program that will transform your entire body in 30 days.   When you combine boxing, Muay Thai and plyometrics in one workout you get a huge calorie burn and RESULTS. (47 minutes)
Power Sculpt- Total body burner that uses explosive power and interval training to lean and sculpt.  (37 minutes)
Dynamic Strength- Low on impact but high on intensity. (47 minutes)
Active Recovery- Recharge for the week ahead with this rest day that focuses on form and technique to help fight fatigue and sore muscles. (21 minutes)
Core De Force Relief- A quick 5 minutes stretch before bed session. (5 minutes)
Team Beachbody Exclusive MMA Mashup– All the best Core De Force moves in one workout.  (26 minutes)
Core Kinetics- A unique core workout inspired by Mixed Martial Arts movements.
5 minute Core on the Floor- the ultimate core finisher- 5 minute challenging plank movements that gets your abs on fire.
If you want to take your fitness to the next level after your 3o days you can get these 3 additional advanced workouts too:
Agility Strength- combines fast footwork drills with body weight resistance to help improve coordination and blast major calories.  (9 rounds- 37 minutes).
Agility Power- Grab your agility ladder and rip through multifunctional training that ignites every muscle and helps shred fat for serious definition (6 rounds-27 minutes).
MMA Kick Butt- This workout is meant to target your legs and butt with nonstop mix of powerful kicks and calorie burning conditioning spikes (9 rounds- 37 minutes).


Who should buy the program?
Anyone who wants to tighten up their midsection, carve a stronger core, and sculpt total-body definition. CORE DE FORCE is great for intermediate or advanced exercisers-or graduates of INSANITY MAX:30™, TurboFire®, or P90X®-but beginners and people who are looking for significant weight loss can follow the modifier and drop serious weight too.It’s also a great choice for people looking to try a workout inspired by mixed martial arts. Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews packed CORE DE FORCE with Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai moves that are both effective AND empowering. Those who want to see results fast will also love the program. The high-energy mix of combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio is designed to get you into knockout shape in 30 days.  

 How much will Core De Force Cost?

The price of the program will vary. What I suggest is purchasing the challenge pack as that is the absolute best value! You will receive the program for a fraction when you purchase it as a challenge pack! The challenge pack will cost $140. It will include a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the full Core De Force program, as well as a meal guide to follow!

What are the Portion Control Eating Plan details?The Portion Control Eating Plan is not a recipe-based plan like other Beachbody nutrition plans. Here’s how it works: Start by calculating a calorie level based on starting weight. Next, find the calorie chart that corresponds with the calorie level. This will indicate the daily allotment of color-coded containers. From there, the Eating Plan shows a list of foods that can be eaten with each color-coded container. Then, just fill the containers with the foods from the list, up to the daily allotment of the containers. No required recipes. No required number of meals. No required foods or ingredients. If it fits in the container, it can be eaten!

Here is your step by step plan for how to assemble this no-cook meal prep:
1. Place ¾ cup plain lowfat Greek yogurt in a food storage container. Top with one cup mixed berries (or other fresh fruit). Serve with one whole-grain, frozen waffle that has been thawed or toasted.
2. Prepare smoothie bags for your Shakeology snack or Whey protein. Measure ½ cup each of strawberries and blueberries, 1 cup of spinach, and 3 tsp. nut butter into a bag and refrigerate. You do not need to remove the leafy strawberry tops; they blend up perfectly, just like the spinach does. You can also measure out the nut butter when you make your shake, if you prefer. To prepare you smoothie, pour one pre-portioned smoothie bag into a blender with Shakeology or your whey protein, water, and ice, then blend.
3. Fill five plastic bags or small containers with 12 raw almonds. Arrange five small food containers and place ¾ cup cottage cheese into each. Top each with ½ cup cucumber slices and ½ cup cherry tomatoes. For extra flavor, these can be topped with pepper, smoked paprika, hot sauce, or balsamic vinegar if desired.
4. Place one cup spinach (or lettuce) into each of three food containers. Top each with ¼ chopped yellow bell pepper, ¼ cup shredded carrots, two sliced radishes, ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, and ½ cup frozen, shelled edamame. Divide 12 oz. sliced deli turkey evenly between the containers. Serve with your favorite vinaigrette and an orange (or apple).
5. Use a spiralizer or follow these instructions to to make noodles out of two zucchinis: Using a vegetable peeler, cut each zucchini into lengthwise strips about ⅛ inch thick. Turn each zucchini slightly after cutting each strip to work evenly around the outside, stopping when you hit the seeds at the core. Discard cores. Cut slices lengthwise into ½-inch ribbons. Divide zucchini noodles evenly between two food containers. Top each with one fully cooked chicken sausage, ¾ cup marinara sauce, and 10 olives. When it’s time to eat, heat for two to three minutes in a microwave. Serve with one yellow container filled with whole grain crackers.
6. Prepare tuna salad for pita sandwiches. In a medium bowl combine three cans of tuna, drained, one can of white beans that have been drained and rinsed, the rest of the chopped yellow bell pepper (about ¼ pepper), three chopped green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with two Tbsp. olive olive and two Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, and stir to combine. Prepare three food containers each with 1 cup spinach (or lettuce). Divide tuna mixture evenly between the containers and place in refrigerator. When it’s time to eat, stuff the tuna and lettuce into two halves of a whole grain pita. It’s best to keep the pita separate from the tuna salad until it’s time to eat to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
7. Fill two food containers each with 1½ cups of shredded lettuce. In a medium bowl, combine one cup canned black beans that have been drained and rinsed, one cup frozen corn, one cup halved cherry tomatoes, four tsp. olive oil, and as much cilantro as you want. Divide bean mixture evenly between the two containers. Chop two cooked chicken breasts (or rotisserie chicken breasts), divide evenly between the containers and place in the fridge. OPTION: Instead of eating this dish as a salad, omit the corn, and when it’s time to eat, wrap all ingredients in a whole grain tortilla.

You are the Master of your Own Destiny

 
Unhealthy and Unhappy in 2006
Today, 2016. Happy & Healthy


These photos I'm sharing with you are at my heaviest weight of over 200lbs. I battled for years with my weight. At this point, although I am smiling in these pictures, I was so depressed. Behind those eyes was a girl who was full of sadness and who was hopeless. I hated myself...every single part of me. I wasn't an overweight girl who was confident in herself. I was overweight and completely self conscious of everything about myself. I thought I was a loser and I could never be myself around anyone. I wanted to so badly be comfortable in my own skin, but I wasn't and I didn't know how to love myself. I suffered with social anxiety, depression that would come and go and I felt trapped in a body that I thought I would never be able to change. I had tried everything at this point in my life. Weight watchers, Diet pills, 10 day detox diets, hired a nutritionist, Nutrisystem....EVERYTHING except surgery of course! I would start a program and give up if I wasn't seeing results QUICKLY. I wanted the weight to come off so fast and I wanted to find whatever was QUICK and easy..and I didn't want to put in the effort to WORK for it. At this point I never worked out a day in my life. Growing up I didn't play any sports or was active at all. I was lazy and didn't want to move. The thought of exercise was exhausting. I still can't believe I felt that way, but I did...I thought "WHO IN THE WORLD WANTS TO EXERCISE?" 

But then..came a point, where I couldn't live with myself anymore. I WAS TIRED of giving up and letting myself down. I wanted it SO bad..and in order to get to where I am today, I HAD TO WORK FOR IT. I made a decision one day, that I had to workout, AND WORK FOR MY DESIRED BODY. Nothing in life comes easy and that is what being over weight has taught me. No one else but myself was going to make it happen. Not until I changed my MINDSET and BELIEF in myself was I able to accomplish reaching goals I never thought were possible to get to. 

I never thought I would be where I am today. Sometimes, I forget that person who you see in these pictures. It's crazy to look back at these photos and I can remember how sad I was. I am in such a better place in my life and I am so happy that I didn't just let the years go by and never actually GO OUT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. 

You don't have to suffer. You CAN do ANYTHING you set your mind on achieving. I was once an unbeliever and now I know that if you work hard and you want something SO bad you can't get it out of your mind, if you just put in the work daily, baby steps, do things that will get you to your goal in the long run, you will eventually get there. I used to be one of those people that used to say "I'll start tomorrow" or "I'll start next week", "I'll start next month." It was never "TODAY I will start." NOW IS THE ONLY TIME YOU HAVE...so why wait till tomorrow?

The Master's Hammer and Chisel

On January 4th, I started my journey with the New Program that launched in December of 2015, The Masters Hammer and Chisel.  


I had been waiting for this program to come out ever since they announced it at our 2015 Coach Summit.  When I watched a preview of what was to come in December I FELL IN LOVEEEEEE!  I knew that this would be a program that would get me the EXACT results I was looking for.

So, What is the The Master’s Hammer and Chisel you ask?

The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is a workout system that delivers breathtaking, body-changing results in as little as 60 days. Autumn Calabrese (a celebrity trainer, best-selling author, and working mom who has held certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA), and has competed at the national level in various bikini competitions..Creator of the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme along with her 101 Recipe book FIXATE.) and Sagi Kalev (crowned Mr. Israel— twice—and is a Master Professional Personal Trainer, IFBB Pro, member of the IFBB Propta Hall of Fame, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist who also created BodyBeast) have TEAMED UP and are using their experience and knowledge to help YOU get the body you’ve always dreamed of.   

These two have spent decades studying fitness and nutrition with one goal in mind: to develop the BEST method of transforming the human body into an absolute masterpiece. With The Master’s Hammer and Chisel, you’ll have access to their expert body-sculpting program with workouts so efficient, you’ll build your ultimate physique in just 30—40 minutes a day. Sagi and Autumn designed the entire program around their customizable nutrition system. Just do the workouts and use these color-coded containers to eat the right portions for the body you want!

The 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme BOTH follow the exact same meal plan!  Last year I completed both the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme and I got amazing results from BOTH!  

So I already had a an idea of how the meal plan would work.  I love not having to count calories or count my macros.  With these simple to follow color coded food containers it takes all the guesswork out!  I WISH they would have had this program years ago!  Nutrition is 80% of your results and I learned that big time with my journey with those programs. The 21 Day Fix is the reason why I was able to maintain my summer body for the FIRST time this winter.  I always tend to put on 15lbs every winter and it is so frustrating!  Last year, I made a decision that I would NOT allow myself to lose the body I worked so hard on achieving during the summer.  With the easy to follow meal plan from the 21 Day Fix I was able to keep that body that I worked hard on, but this year I was ready to take my fitness to the next level!  The meal plans tell you EXACTLY HOW MUCH TO EAT and WHAT to eat depending on your weight.  HOW COOL!?  No nutritionist needed!


This was a picture I took a few days before I started my 60 Day Transformation.  ME FIT IN THE WINTER?!??! WHAT?  That never happens!!!!  I was super excited and I can't thank Autumn Calabrese for creating SUCH AN AMAZING PROGRAM.  Super easy to follow, and super effective! :)


On January, 4th 2015 marked the beginning of my 60 Day Journey.  I decided to do my first workout with my Best Friend, accountability and Success Partner Diane Alvarado.  She has been so supportive and is there for me whenever I'm feeling OFF.  We all have those days so it's great to find someone who you can reach out to whenever you need that extra MOTIVATION.

We made sure to take our BEFORE pics and Track down our Weight and Measurements.  Here are my MEASUREMENTS and BEFORE pics:



Keeping Track of your PROGRESS is super important.  I am not a big fan of the scale.  If anything, I say throw that scale awayyyyyyyyyy and stick to progress pics and measurements ESPECIALLY if you're doing a program that includes weight training.  Muscle weighs more than fat and many times we are gaining lean muscle as we lose body fat, but the scale will show different numbers and completely throw us off.  THEREFORE, I am a big fan of PROGRESS pics and using measuring tape to see how many inches you're losing!  I stress it all the time to my challengers in my FREE monthly fitness accountability groups that I host on Facebook.  I used to be one of those people who had SCALE WEIGHT ISSUES.  I was obsessed with weighing myself!  I learned through the years that muscle weighs more than fat.  I DID track my scale weight starting this program so that I can show my results and prove to you all what I mean about the scale not being important!

So Day #1 workout was Chisel Balance.  It was definitely challenging because it focused on multiple muscles at once.  You use a lot of your core to balance.  I LOVED IT!  1st workout in and I was like YAYYYYYY, LOVE IT!!!  I share videos of some of the workouts on Instagram (f1tnesswithana) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/fitanamoreno).  

These past 2 weeks have literally been amazing!  What I love about it is that you're never repeating the same workout.  It took 2 weeks until I did a specific workout again.  You have to follow whatever workout is on the calendar for that day.  The workouts are definitely different than any program or workout I've ever done!  I have to say in these 2 weeks I decided this is by FAR my favorite Beachbody program. 

I decided that for the 60 Days on this program I would write out EXACTLY what I ate and what supplements I was taking.  Here are the Supplements I will be taking while on this program:

Beachbody has a Performance Line that launched last year and they recommend in order to get the best results to take these supplements along with The Masters Hammer and Chisel because these workouts are no joke.  Therefore I AM GOING TO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THE BEST RESULTS!

Energize: helps you blast through your toughest workouts with a surge of energy! Take Energize before every workout to help sharpen your focus, push harder, and last longer. Energize contains key ingredients scientifically shown to delay exercise‑induced muscle fatigue, improve performance, and help you push with maximum intensity.
Recover:

Hydrate: Boosts hydration during your workouts for outstanding performance. Typical sports drinks have too much sugar and artificial ingredients that can actually dehydrate you. And water alone doesn't effectively hydrate during exercise or replace what you lose through sweat. Hydrate gives you an optimal balance of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water to quickly replenish what's lost, helping you work out longer and feel better.

Recover: Helps reduce muscle soreness from exercise and jump‑start recovery so you can come back stronger. Take Recover after every workout to help combat exercise‑induced muscle soreness, speed muscle recovery, promote muscle growth, and restore your strength. It maximizes the critical post‑workout window time with time‑released proteins and phytonutrients to help you recover from your workout faster—and hit the next one that much harder.

Recharge: Helps accelerate recovery and promote muscle growth while you sleep. It's specially formulated to accelerate recovery, combat exercise‑induced muscle soreness, and promote new muscle growth when your body is primed to accept it—while you sleep! Slow‑release protein, amino acids, and powerful phytonutrients combat muscle breakdown, help promote lean‑muscle synthesis, and reduce exercise‑induced muscle soreness.

 I also take the Shakeology Boosts to incorporate into my Shakeology whenever I am needing an extra boost. I have been drinking Shakeology since 2013 and it has been a HUGE game changer in my nutrition.  It has not only improved my health, but has helped me lose weight, fights junk food cravings and helped my digestion.  For more information check out (www.shakeology.com/fitnesswithana). It is a staple in my diet and I never go a day without it.  Therefore these Shakeology boosts are an awesome addition.

Focused Energy Boost


This unique formula is designed to give you a wholesome boost of energy—both for your mind and body. Not only will it help you feel more energized from 100 mg of natural caffeine from guarana and green tea, it also supports mental clarity, alertness, and focus, and helps increase stamina. Plus, there are no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives.

Power Greens Boost


This amazing boost contains one full serving of nutritious green veggies that provides vitamins, minerals, and healthy phytonutrients to your body. It's like you're like eating 2/3 cup dark leafy greens, 1/3 cup cucumbers, and 1/3 of a large celery stalk. Plus, this unique formula helps support the body's acid/alkaline balance.

Digestive Health Boost


Get over half of your daily recommended amount of fiber when you add this boost to Shakeology. With a unique blend of 7 grams of both soluble AND insoluble fiber packed into every single scoop, this formula stands apart from typical fiber supplements that contain only soluble fiber. This powerful boost helps improve regularity, support digestive health, and helps keep you feeling full longer.

These past few weeks have been a breeze following the meal plan.  All of the food you see below are some of the meals I have prepared that are allowed on the plan.  I am never hungry and I am able to eat delicious easy recipes along with this program.




What equipment do you need for The Master's Hammer and Chisel?
  • A few dumbbells of various weights appropriate to your strength and fitness level. I luckily got my hands on the ones you see below.  The Bow-flex adjustable weights. LOVE THEM!
  • A bench or stability ball. (I bought this bench at walmart $45!)
  • A chin-up bar or a resistance band and a door attachment. (I use a chin-up bar, but resistance bands with a door attachment work GREAT TOO!)





I am on week 3 of The Masters Hammer and Chisel and so far LOVING my results!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait to see what Day #60 will look like.  I will continue sharing my journey in this blog.  I wanted to try it out for 2 weeks before giving you all the inside scoop on what it was like.  

Here are answers to a few more questions you may have about the program:

What makes The Master’s Hammer and Chisel incredibly effective and unique?
• The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is built on the three phases of SSP Training— Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Other workouts only focus on one or two phases, which might give you decent results.

• 12 brand-new, 30- to 40-minute workouts that combine Sagi and Autumn’s proven techniques for 60 days of hardcore resistance training.
• Sagi and Autumn make eating for your goals simple. That’s why they included their easy-to-follow and completely customizable nutrition plan, along with 7 portion-control containers that show you how to portion out the right amount of food to help you reach your unique fitness goals.
• Flexible nutrition that allows you to lean out, sculpt and maintain, or build muscle.
• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment.
• Includes a modifier who demonstrates some moves at a lower intensity.


What’s included in The Master’s Hammer and Chisel Challenge Pack?

  • 12 workouts on 6 DVDs 
  • A set of 7 portion-control containers and a shaker cup (Using these 7 color-coded containers, we'll show you how to create filling and energizing meals that will get you through these tough workouts and help you get your best results possible.)

  • 60-Day Calendar (For efficient and effective training, the order of your workouts matters. With this calendar, Sagi and Autumn have you covered for the next 60 days)
  • 2 bonus workouts: 10 Min Ab Hammer (Carve definition into your core while strengthening your entire ab complex) and 10 Min Ab Chisel (This core-crusher will transform your midsection, without ever getting on the floor.)
  • 30 Day supply of Shakeology OR RECOVER AND ENERGIZE from the performance line listed above.
