9 Week Control Freak 411| Connect The Dots Fitness

Are you ready to get your freak on and learn to TAKE CONTROL of your health and fitness journey? That's what this program is ALL ABOUT! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE EMAIL ME RIGHT NOW at connectthedotsginger@gmail.com, or send an IG MESSAGE OR FACEBOOK MESSAGE! I'm collecting information NOW for pre-ordering and I will send you a customized cart when ordering opens on Monday! 

CHECK OUT THE SIZZLE REEL FOR THE PROGRAM: 

What is 9 Week Control Freak?

Super Trainer Autumn Calabrese created 9 Week Control Freak to help you get game-changing results—but there’s a catch. You have to hustle, give her everything, and take control of the things that truly dictate your quality of life, like your strength, stamina, nutrition, and even your sleep. Go all in, and you’ll have the power to reach your goals. For the first time ever, 9 Week Control Freak combines innovative training methods to help build lean muscle and burn more fat for a slim, sexy look. But the work doesn’t stop there. You’ll dive deep into getting control of what you eat with Ultimate Portion Fix or 2B Mindset, and learn how to help relax and reframe your mind, so you’re ready for the next day’s workout. Now, it’s up to you—are you ready to become a control freak? 

What makes 9 Week Control Freak unique? 

9 Week Control Freak packs an incredibly effective and intense workout into just 18 to 30 minutes, 5 days a week. You won’t waste a second to get sweating, because you’re working out smarter and harder, not longer. Three innovative methods— Density Training, Strength Complexes, and Tabata—in 3 of the 5 weekly workouts will target major muscle groups with a combination of resistance training and cardio to help build strength, increase stamina, and boost your cardiovascular system. You’ll use the Control Track, a revolutionary new piece of essential equipment that hits your muscles from multiple angles and heights to increase time under tension, a key muscle-growth driver. The Core Ball is used in every workout to target and engage your core. By totally integrating nutrition and a proactive approach to rest into the program, Autumn wants you to have EVERY tool you need to succeed, reach your goals, and feel great.


What equipment is needed? 

You’ll need light, medium, and heavy dumbbells, a Core Ball, a step, and the Control Track. 

WHAT’S INCLUDED: WHAT’S THE BENEFIT? 

Workouts: 45 Unique Program Workouts. You’ll work out with Autumn and the cast in real time, 5 days a week for 9 weeks. MODIFIER INCLUDED and a new Modifier mode, that keeps the modifier on your screen the entire time! PLUS...

Controlled Stretches: Do these at the end of the day on workout days to help reset and reframe your mind, and relax your body so you’re ready for the next day’s workout. 

Autumn’s 10-Minute Bonus Workouts: Add one to any workout to target a particular muscle group based on your personal goals. 

Remote Control Workouts: These mimic one full week of 9 Week Control Freak, but are meant to be done when you don’t have access to your dumbbells or step—for example, if you’re traveling. They utilize the Core Ball and the Control Track, giving you the same intense workout, so you never have to pause your 9-week commitment. 

Tabata Bonuses: Add one of these to any workout when you want to double up on your cardio.


HOW DO YOU GET IT? 

We have a variety of different options to get access. EARLY, EARLY BIRD ordering begins Monday, Dec 7 with FREE enrollment in our Loyalty Membership/ Coaching discount! (This is the day I'm suggesting to order to ENSURE you get your equipment before we push play on day 1 as a group on Jan 4. Yes you want to order EARLY!) If you do not want to get enrolled in the loyalty membership/coach discount (coaching others is totally optional and you still enjoy a 25% discount on future products) Early Access enrollment for the program begins Dec. 21 (see why I'm suggesting Dec. 7, that way you have 4 weeks over the busiest shipping time of the year to get your equipment and supplements.)

MBF and MBFA Program Results


I told you this program was going to be HUGE and it is! Not only was the launch the biggest in Beachbody's history but it also delivers AMAZING RESULTS! I've done it! I've completed 2 rounds of the new Beachbody Program Muscle Burns Fat (#MBF) and Muscle Burns Fat Advanced (#MBFA) And I CAN NOT believe my results. Guys, it's not like I wasn't working out daily or eating right but this program has just DONE IT for me! Check it out! I took a picture after my Sunday workout each week to track my progress. 


I started this leg of my journey June 22 when I hit my highest weight, which I didn't even record because I'm so embarrassed by it. 260.9. I hit 260 again! It freaked me the eff out! So this chart below from my Fittrack Dara Scale is as close as I could get it. I started with my nutrition first and really dove deep into our Mindset focused Nutrition program 2B Mindset. But you guys. This is more than just weight loss with this program. Not only did I reduce my weight with pure fat loss but also BMI, Body Fat %, butI also improved my water %, my bone mass, and even gained leaner muscle. It's about the bigger picture. Plus I've lost over 12 inches and am down 1 pant size and sitting comfortably in a size 16 when before, I was pushing out of an 18. Now my nutrition is on point. I've learned more about what foods really help me in losing weight and when the best time for me to eat but also, I'm not cutting out anything. I still have ice cream. I've still had sweets and treats. I still went out of town twice, indulged and still lost weight over the time period.


The key is to commit. Go all in on a program, and commit to following the program as it is written. Don't skip workouts, don't double up. Do the program as it says. Also go all in on your nutrition program. I tried for too many years, and wasted so much time trying to combine a bunch of nutrition philosophies together even our 2 Beachbody nutrition programs. But you can't fit a square peg into a round hole. It took me deciding I was going to do the program and just see what happened to now, living the program and the weight just coming right off. 


Plus my hormones aren't all screwed up as much as they were a year ago. I 'm actually in "the normal ranges" for all hormones. Which I don't understand how but I am. Sometimes it just takes some humbling and listening and doing. So after 3 years now, I'm finally seeing the progress I've been hoping for! But I'm not done yet. I'm already planning my next round. A 42 Day Challenging. Doing MBF and MBFA back to back like they were intended to see what results I can get from that! I can't wait. If you're ready to do this program JOIN ME and LET'S WORK TOGETHER! CLICK HERE to get your steal of a deal on our bundle kit which will give you the EARLY ACCESS to MBF and MBFA, and the entire fitness library for the next year, plus access to both our nutrition programs including the same one I'm doing 2B Mindset. You'll get the BODropes which are required in this program. You'll also get your first month supply of our daily superfood shake, the pre and post workouts drinks and more goodies plus me as your coach and access to my exclusive Virtual Gym and Nutrition Help Center. Guys, this is your sign. DO THIS PROGRAM! It will not disappoint!

Basic Food Storage Tips To Get You Started


Ready to stock up for multiple days at home to help flatten the curve of the Coronavirus. It's time to head to the store and stock up wisely on the essentials you really need.

🌟Biggest tip, think about every thing you truly need --not want---for the next 2-3 weeks.

🌟 Frozen fruits and veggies are a must. They help you stay on track with your fruits and veggies. You can also blend them in a blender for an easy yummy green smoothie. Our kids love the Daily Sunshine that also has a serving of fruits and veggies in every cup. That way my kids are still getting the vitamins and minerals their bodies need.

🌟 There are some fresh veggies that last up to a month in your fridge or counter. Spaghetti squash can sit on your counter. Turnips and whole heads of cabbage will last for a month in your fridge.

🌟 Stock up on chicken, and beef, fish or tempeh. Whatever normal proteins you eat, freeze them to use for later. Also quinoa is also a great source of plant based protein. Shakeology is my easiest and fastest source for protein, vitamins and minerals to keep me on track health wise.

🌟 Shelf stable dairy is a great alternative to fresh milk. Buy cartons and keep them on the shelf until you open them up. I'm personally hoping my kids don't notice a difference. Also cheese freezes really well! Evaporated milk can also be an alternative to milk. You will need to add water to it as it's concentrated. 50:50 ratio of water to evaporated milk.

🌟 Basic essentials are a must as well. Yes, toilet paper is an essential but, you also need: toothpaste, hand soap, cleaning supplies like counter cleaner, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, over the counter medicine, feminine hygiene products and shampoo and conditioner. My tips, buy 2 of everything.

🌟 Alternative fuel sources. Keep eating at home fun and exciting with different ways to cook. We love grilling and with spring here, we can get out and grill more. Make sure you have a couple bags of charcoal. A couple cans of propane and plenty of wood to make this happen. Again, buy 2 of everything.

🌟 Last tip, make sure your cars have gas in them. Invest in a couple gas cans and fill those up just in case. You never know. But at least you will have it on hand.

BONUS: Make a plan before you head to the store so that you have a clear idea of what you are getting and have enough room to store these items.

BONUS:  Meal plan if you can and plan to make large freezable meals. I make large freezer meals but store them in my freezer in 8x8 foil pans. I only take the single 8x8 pan I need, have less leftovers and can alternate when we have the other servings so that we don't get tired of having the same thing for multiple days in a row. This allows us to have more variety without variety.

Staying On Track With Health and Fitness Goals While Traveling | Simplified Packing Tips

This post contains affiliate links.

I'm on an impromptu 10 day mommy-cation right now and it's been amazing. It originally was intended to help my parents, post an intense surgery for my dad, but surgery got bumped and my flight could not so, now I'm helping out with pre surgery stuff. But, regardless of what I was going to be doing, I was determined to stay on track with my health and fitness goals, and how I packed all my stuff in just 1 medium suitcase.

1) Plan to do laundry. Pack half of what you need and plan to do laundry midway through. I packed 5 days of clothing, and 5 days of workout clothing. It's laundry day for me today, right on schedule.
2) Keep to your routine as much as you can. Pack your supplements, pre workout and post workout drink mixes just like you would use at home. You can pre portion out what you have, or to avoid getting a pat down in the airport if you carry them on with you so they don't open in your luggage, stock up on the pre-packaged versions that are sealed. I didn't have enough time to plan ahead and order our single serve packs so, I got to know the TSA agent really well. Oh and new for me, flying is dehydrating and since I'm already "dehydrated" per my FitTrack Dara Smart Scale at 36% I'm trying to stay on top of it by adding Liquid IV to my water post flight.
3) Be in charge of your health by packing healthier snacks and going to the grocery store when you arrive. You can travel with veggies. I carried on apples, mini bell peppers, carrots and my take and go trail mix (1T pumpkin seeds, 1T cranberries, 12 almonds and 1T chocolate chips (totally optional but I love me some chocolate). When you arrive GO TO THE STORE, multiple times if you have to. If you have a mini fridge just get smaller items, and plan to go to the store every couple days. I even only got the basics and plan to go to the store 1 more time to keep me stocked with a salad kit for easy lunches, snack-able veggies and fruits. My favorite snackable fruits and veggies, mini bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, southwestern salad kit from Trader Joes, apples, strawberries and I also bought a pack of spinach to eat with my breakfast and add to the salad kit to make it go further.
4) Only bring what you truly need. It's so easy as women to pack your entire bathroom but there just isn't room for that. I'm sticking with the basics of what I need to look and feel like me even when out of town. I packed a medium curing iron, my flat iron, cause my hair can get all sorts of crazy, and just the essential in make up. My small pallet from Bobby Brown Makeup, my eyebrow color and brush, mascara, and of course something to remove all your make up like the new Neutrogena Naturals Purifying MakeupRemover Wipes. Plus my leave in moisturizer by Cibu that I use after a shower and in between showers, and my cariPRO electric toothbrush. Toothbrushes have come a long way to carry long lasting charges and this one will hold a 30 day charge when fully charged and won't lose any of its speed or power when not charged frequently. (GIVEAWAY TO WIN A FREE $120 VALUE ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH CLOSING SOON CLICK HERE TO ENTER!)

5) Pre-Plan out your workouts just as you would at home. Benefit of my online streaming fitness library is that it goes everywhere with me, plus I can pre-download workouts incase I don't have access to good Wifi or cell service. That means I don't have to miss a beat in my workout program and neither do you! Use the gym at your hotel, make space in your room move the furniture around, take your workout outside, get a day pass at the local gym just make it an effort to just get it done!

In the end, it takes a little extra effort to stay on track while out of town. But it isn't impossible. You are worth the effort. You are worth your goals to stay on track. And if anything, by sticking with your health and fitness, most of the time while away, and you still indulge on dinners or have an extra dessert or 2, you won't come home in a bigger hole but at least right where you were when you left of progress!

Post Super Bowl Hangover | 5 Tips to Recover FASTER



Who else enjoyed that amazing game last night?!? Some of us probably more than others, I'm sure. Even me, guys I went in to yesterday knowing it was not going to be a weight loss day and I'm okay with that. Because we had all the fixin's for the game, pizza, ice cream, candy, Doritos, and more! I didn't eat all of what we had, I stuck with pizza and ice cream but those 2 things together, my body didn't like. And I was right, this morning, I was up in my weight from where I was yesterday.

And I'm not beating myself up about it either! That is the first tip!

1) GUILT FREE ZONE! Turn off the guilt because holding onto guilt is the last thing that your mindset needs to deal with. No matter what happened last night, it happened. Time to just move past it. Because it's a new day today. You can't change what happened you can only change what you do from here on out.

2) GET BACK ON TRACK! Get your ass up and get your workout done! NOW! By the end of TODAY! Just do it. Don't think about it or how you are feeling sluggish or blah. Just go get it done and do the best that you can do. Because a little work is better than no work. And it's Monday! #nevermissamonday

3) DITCH THE LEFTOVERS! Do you have leftovers in your house from last night, just toss them. Get back to eating on track with the foods you know you should be eating, or check out my favorite list of foods that I choose from HERE. I know it's boring but opt for a salad today for lunch and pile on the extra veggies on your plate at dinner. The best thing your body needs right now is vitamins and minerals.

4) HYDRATE! Drink plenty of water today to help flush out the foods you ate yesterday. Extra points if you add a slice of lemon to help your body detoxify.

5) GET TO BED EARLY TONIGHT! Make it a point to go to sleep earlier than normal and catch up on some sleep. Granted the game didn't last too long last night but still, if you were like me I struggled getting to sleep at a good time. My plan, in my room around 8:30, curl up with my Outlander book (cause i'm in major "Drylander" mode right now hurry up season 5 premiere!) And aiming to be asleep by 9:30 tonight.

Need more support and accountability to stay more on track? Join me and my virtual gym gals in our accountability and support group. Gain access by getting access to our online Fitness Library with access to over 1000 workouts, meal plans, cooking show and resources to help you stay on track!

Struggling To Stay On Track With Your Weight loss? Track Your Progress Regularly


It's the beginning of the month and in our Virtual Gym that means, IT'S TIME TO TRACK OUR PROGRESS! Most people fall off track because they see a lack of progress but, most people track from day to day or week to week, but let's say, you track monthly, over the course of 6 months, that's how you can see more progress.







First of all, mindset. You have to remember that this journey is a marathon not a sprint. For most of us, this journey is going to take way longer than 2 weeks. Most of us expect to see progress in just 2 weeks. But ladies, it can take up to 4 weeks for your body to realize you are making changes and start to change. It can take up to 8 weeks for you to start seeing change and 12 weeks for other's around you to see change. But why is it then, that most people stop or get hung up within the first 21 days of the journey? Just think on that for a moment. What has gotten in your way in the past? What can you do to change that from happening. YOUR MINDSET! Allow yourself to allow things to take time to change.

What to track:
Weight
Measurements
Progress pictures of your front, side and back
Body Fat %
Commit to tracking monthly for the next 6 months

Tips for pictures: Pick a spot where you can see your entire body. Use the timer function on your camera or phone if taking the pictures by yourself or have a friend do them. Set the height to be straight on and not pointing up or down as that can alter the look of your pictures. I use a tripod for my camera, set the timer and run into position!




Tripod I use! 


I personally have been using the Fittrack Dara Smart Scale which tracks more than just you weight. You can set it for athletic mode and track your BMI, Body Fat %, body water%, Muscle Mass, Lean mass, and more! Get yours below!


In the end, Change will happen, with time! But first you have to start tracking. Most people don't want to take that first progress picture, but I promise you, DO IT! Not for now but for later so you can compare!

Oral Health For Improved Overall Heath | GIVEAWAY

Affiliate Links Included in this post
This past year I've been working hard on my overall health. It wasn't until August after realizing my hormones were out of balance and doing hours of research that I decided to take a more proactive move to stabilizing my gut heath. Yes, the gut. When your gut is out of balance, it can mess with your hormone health, digestive health and even moods. It all starts with what we put in our bodies but also, the whole process starts in our mouth. Not only from what we put in it for fuel for our bodies but also keeping it nice and clean! Oral Health!

Having good oral health allows your gut to have the healthier bacteria in it. Now, I know we all know to brush our teeth twice a day, but, let's talk about the kind of brushes to use. Our family switched to the electric toothbrushes after multiple cavities were infecting my kids teeth because they just weren't brushing their teeth well enough. And honestly the fighting and screaming from us having to do it for them, was enough. So I'm always on the lookout for the best of the best products out there.

That's why I was so excited to be sent the Caripro Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush by Smile Brilliant! It came with its charger and 2 super soft brush heads in the box, the brush also has a built in tongue cleaner on the back of the brush head! Guys, this brush has 5 separate settings on it with varying speeds and ability from Clean, White, Massage, Gum Care, and Sensitivity. Plus it's smart with a 2 minute total run that pulses every 30 seconds to remind you to switch to a different quadrant of the mouth to brush.
The first thing I noticed using the brush was the pitch difference. I'm a musician and I can hear the difference in the pitches which relates to frequency. I compared it to my current brush and it's a 2nd and 4th higher in pitch (depending on setting) meaning it is brushing at a faster frequency, so it's moving at a faster speed than my current electric brush.


I also love the different settings options. You can truly customize your brushing to your needs! My favorite settings were sensitive and white. I had a gum graft a few years ago on my lower front teeth and I'm still super scared that I'm going to mess my gums up again because I do not want to go through that surgery again, so I've been using the sensitivity setting at least 1 time a day. I've also noticed that my teeth looked like they were brighter and freshly polished by the dentist after every use. And I'm right at that 6 month check up point with my dentist, so having that super clean look was so nice!

So if you are ready to get an electric ultrasonic toothbrush, I highly recommend the Caripro Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush by Smily Brilliant! Want 20% off your new brush?

What is 6 Weeks of The Work? 
6 Weeks of THE WORK is cutting-edge functional training designed to help you build real-world strength that translates beyond the gym.

If you're not ready for 6 weeks of the Work, Amoila also created a 4 Weeks Of The Prep to get you ready, physically, for 6 weeks of the work.


It's a toned down version of 6 weeks of the prep. You do have to repeat workouts tho because there are only 11. But that's okay it's only for 4 weeks!
