January Super Weekend Recap
A ton of information dropped last weekend during the January Super Weekend including new programs with Joel, Jericho, and Elise PLUS a program focusing on gut health! Let’s dig in…
2B Pregnant
From the blurb: 2B Pregnant is a new Beachbody digital-only nutrition program that teaches pregnant women a positive approach to eating delicious and satisfying food to help support a healthy pregnancy while creating the right mindset and a lifetime of healthy habits. 2B Pregnant is based on the proven principles of the 2B Mindset, and is created by Ilana Muhlstein, MS, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, bestselling author of You Can Drop It! and mother of three.
I’m not a fan of 2B Mindset to be honest, and I’m not a fan of a product being marketed to women “afraid to lose their bodies.” Some people swear by the program, but I would hesitate to recommend this to anyone.
4 Week Gut Protocol
From the blurb: To help people dealing with ongoing gut issues, Beachbody Super Trainer and Nutrition Expert Autumn Calabrese draws on her own journey to optimize her own gut health and has created a unique four-week nutrition program called The 4 Week Gut Protocol. This comprehensive nutrition program is designed to help promote overall gut health, as well as isolate the most common foods and ingredients that can cause gastric distress and undermine your health and well-being. Throughout The 4 Week Gut Protocol, Autumn will be giving you step-by-step instructional videos, weekly tips, food lists, NEW recipes, and more. Anyone with digestive issues can benefit from this program.
I’m pretty excited about this one! There are so many foods common in our diets that cause stomach issues and finally having a program that tackles the problem will help so many people!
4 Weeks for Every Body
From the blurb: Created by Super Trainer Autumn Calabrese, 4 Weeks for Every Body makes it easy for anyone to work out 4 days per week with no impact, using simple, eccentric exercises that leverage the benefits of time under tension to help your overall strength, mobility, and vitality in 30 minutes a day or less. Autumn has used what she’s learned from creating 11 programs for Beachbody, and has seen one thing missing in the portfolio: a nonimpact program that can get results for everybody. Each workout is purposeful and effective, and has been designed to help complement the results you can achieve when combining it with The 4 Week Gut Protocol. Regular exercise can have a positive impact on gut health, and this is the perfect fitness companion to Autumn’s 4 Week Gut Protocol. 4 Weeks for Every Body can also be done on its own, and is great for anyone who wants a great workout and achievable results without impact.
This is another one I’m pretty stoked for because one of the BIGGEST objections I hear from people is that they’re too out of shape to start working out. It’s easy to feel that way even when you realize you have to START working out to get into better shape but it’s just so dang hard to do it when every workout you see seems like it’s too difficult for you to do! This program will be great for beginners and people who just want to take it easy and keep things low impact.
Lift More
From the blurb: You might recognize Joel Freeman’s name from LIIFT4, one of the most popular programs on BOD. Now he’s coming back with this summer’s hottest weightlifting program. Joel is keeping it simple but super-effective — expect more of his straightforward style, more lifting, and more variety for way MORE body-sculpting results. Stay tuned for more details.
Lift More may not be the official name, and I get the feeling this program was leaked early due to the lack of a proper burb. Regardless, the announcement made me squeal like a little girl. LIIFT4 is one of my favorite programs and Joel is one of my favorite trainers. I’ve been blessed enough to workout with him live during the launches of LIIFT4 and 10 Rounds and hope to do so again for this one! He focuses on old-school weight lifting and his programs are perfect for home or the gym.
Fire and Flow
From the blurb: Welcome to FIRE AND FLOW by Jericho McMatthews and Elise Joan. With so much going on in our lives, it’s hard to find time to be good to ourselves. Jericho and Elise created FIRE AND FLOW to take the stress and frustration out of getting healthy and fit. FIRE AND FLOW is a 4-week program designed to bring more balance and joy into your life, while helping you get in great shape. For just 25–30 minutes a day, six days a week, you’ll alternate between Jericho’s intense “FIRE” workouts and Elise’s stress-reducing restorative “FLOW” sessions. This allows you to go hard, but at the same time have plenty of time to help you recover and rejuvenate. Jericho and Elise want you to work out, not burn out.
I was blessed enough to meet both of these women in Los Angeles just before the world shut down. I had dinner with Elise and may have climbed 30 flights of stairs to meet Jericho in a bar outside my hotel room (but she didn’t hold it against me LOL). Any program with them in it is sure to be upbeat and will keep you on your toes!!
What’s YOUR favorite announcement from Super Weekend?? Which program are you most looking forward to releasing??
