Shift Shop - Week 1

A new program was released just a few weeks ago.  It's called the Shift Shop with Beachbody's newest trainer, Chris Downing.

Meet the Trainer: 
Chris Downing is a proven personal trainer who has just one goal in sight: to help you accelerate the change you've always wanted. As creator of the Shift Shop fitness program, Chris’ engaging, motivation-based approach helps you grow stronger both physically and mentally. It's about so much more than helping you just get fit and lose weight. It's about shifting your body and mind to a place that allows you to reinvent yourself. Chris encourages you to envision what you want to look like and accomplish THAT. He takes the most results-driven training methods—effective for everyone from pro and amateur athletes to the everyday gym-goer—and tailors them to help you achieve a significant total-body transformation. This includes shorter workouts with exercise intervals that help you burn calories fast, and lose fat, while still increasing your strength. Whether it's agility training, premium weight-loss moves, or the ultimate abs workout—prepare to burn fat and reshape your physique at lightning speed—all while being powered by Chris' personal philosophy: Love. Empower. Inspire. 

Why the Shift Shop works:

WEEK01

Using his cutting-edge ramp effect, Chris starts you off with shorter workouts to help you stay focused and committed—without burning you out.

WEEK02

Just as your body adapts, Chris ups the level of activity and intensity just enough to continue to accelerate your endurance and your results.

WEEK03

Chris cranks up everything for the last time, ultimately shifting your body from the one you had 3 weeks ago to one that’s significantly faster, stronger, and leaner.

Because the program is just 3 weeks, you can easily fit it into your schedule. This is your shift. The one you’ve been talking about. You can do this.

My menu:

Shift shop follows the same container system for the 21 Day Fix.   I was on Plan A, which meant I had 4 Protein (red), 3 Vegetables (green), 2 Fruits (purple), 2 Carbs (yellow), 1 Healthy Fat (blue), 1 Seeds & Dressings (orange) & 2 Teaspoons.  

Knowing that I will be at work all week and home most of the week and weekend, I created a meal that would fit our lifestyle and budget.

For the first ever, I meal prepped.  I didn't want to find any reason for an excuse to throw me off my plan.  It will make everything SO easy in the mornings!  And yes, my husband is doing this with me.  He doesn't get a choice.  Haha.


Monday morning came and it was time to take measurements.  I hopped on the scale and recorded a 143.9.   My ultimate goal has always been to be at 135, but I've learned that its not about the scale, its about the photo transformation and my measurements.  



Time to make the shift!  Let's do this!
