Summer Shakedown!

"Out of sight, out of mind."

Often, that phrase is associated with relationships...but thanks to sweaters, coats and all of the other winter layers we add, this quote applies to weight gain as well. In fact, the tendency to gain weight during the winter months is higher than any other season.

Now, I know you all know that I'm a fitness freak. I am. I love working out. However, I would be lying to you if I told you that high intensity workouts were the main component of achieving optimal health.

You can workout like a beast and still be overweight.

How is that possible? Easy. Many people develop the misconception that if they work out, they earn the right to eat whatever they want.

Wrong.

Nutrition is critical. In fact, research shows that achieving a healthy weight for your body is as much as 75-80% about nutrition.

That's why I'm initiating the Summer Shakedown. During the month of May, I am offering a one-time offer for my friends and fans of Myers Cross Training.

Here's all you have to do: Head to http://www.michelleshakesit.com and order a bag of Shakeology on Home Direct. (There's no contract - this simply means that until you tell Beachbody otherwise, you will be shipped a bag of Shakeology every 30 days. This also gets you two FREE DVD workouts AND free shipping each month. Who doesn't love free stuff?!)

For the month of May, you will replace one meal a day with Shakeology. (No matter what flavor you choose - Chocolate or Greenberry - I promise, I have recipes that you will not only like, you will LOVE!) Check out the video on my website for more details about this amazing product.

But that's not all...

PERK #1 - At the beginning of each week, I will be sending you a COMPLETE MENU for the week. That's right. For no additional cost to you, I will give you a complete meal plan for the entire month.

This is not a crash diet. You will not be starving yourself for weight loss. This is pure and simple clean eating at its best.

PERK #2 - Though I will not be giving you a specific exercise plan to follow, I will offer little pieces of advice and challenges to do throughout the week. Remember - small changes add up to big results over time. (However, if you would like a more detailed exercise routine - send me a message, and we will work something out for you!)

PERK #3 - There's nothing to lose...except some inches or a few pounds.

At the end of the 30 days, you will have more energy than you've had in a long time. You will feel refreshed. You'll be sleeping better. You'll see a dramatic difference in areas of your health where you were struggling - lowered cholesterol, blood pressure, stabilized blood sugar levels.

The focus is an increase in your overall health. Weight loss and inches lost will undoubtably occur, but I don't want that to be your focus. Think of any changes that occur in your physical appearance as positive side effects.

This an investment in your future - to be the best spouse/parent/child/friend/employee you can possibly be. Medication, trips to the doctor, missed days at work - all of those things cost far more than a product that I have seen serve as a catalyst in many people's lifestyles.

Notice, I'm not saying that you can drink Shakeology for one meal a day, eat whatever you want for the rest of the day and still lose weight. It's a great product - in fact, the nutrition and science behind the ingredients are so far beyond what any other company is producing, I'll say it's the BEST product out there - but it's not a miracle drug. However, along with clean eating, replacing one meal a day with Shakeology will accelerate your results and help you maintain them.

You will have to decide to do this. You will have to commit to follow through with that decision. And if you do those two things, you will succeed.

So what's next?

Step on to Shakedown Street!

Post a comment here, and I will contact you! The last day to sign up is Thursday, April 22. That will ensure that your Shakeology will arrive and you can start with the group on May 1.

Looking forward to going on this journey with you!
