WEEK 1 TIGHTEN AND TONE
Lose weight slowly with small changes
Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat. Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight. Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 1-2 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories. By making small changes like eliminating 250 calories a day from food and expending 250 calories a day from exercise, you can lose one pound (of mostly fat) per week.
IT MAY PAIN YOU TO CONTINUE BUT IT HURTS MUCH WORSE TO STOP

WE DON'T STOP WHEN WE GET TIRED, NO, WE STOP WHEN WE ARE DONE!
A SORE BODY TODAY IS A STRONG BODY TOMORROW
THERE IS ONLY TWO CHOICES: MAKE PROGRESS OR MAKE EXCUSES
Eating slowly can lead to weight loss. Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy and savor every tasty morsel.

Don’t skip breakfast Some people skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight. In fact, research shows that eating breakfast can help people control their weight.

Wholemeal cereal, with fruit sliced over the top is a tasty and nutritious breakfast.

Cut down on saturated fat and sugar.
We all need some fat in our diet. But it’s important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat we’re eating. There are two main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk of developing heart disease. Saturated fat is found in many foods, such as hard cheese, cakes, biscuits, sausages, cream, butter, lard and pies. Try to cut down, and choose foods that contain unsaturated rather than saturated fats, such as vegetable oils, oily fish and avocados. For a healthier choice, use a just a small amount of vegetable oil or reduced fat spread instead of butter, lard or ghee. When you're having meat, choose lean cuts and cut off any visible fat.

How Can I Prevent Gaining Lost Weight?
Keep the following tips in mind:
- Do not skip meals. Skipping meals can slow your metabolism down. Skipping meals can also cause overeating later in the day.
- Weigh yourself once a week. Monitoring your weight will help you stop weight gain from occurring by creating the awareness. You may not always feel a difference in how your clothes fit. To ensure you are eating healthy, keep an accurate food journal. Write down everything you eat or drink. Be honest and accurate, otherwise the journal is not as helpful. The food journal will help you realize when higher calorie foods are being included more frequently then they should. Recording when you exercise (and how long) will also help you to look at trends. Are you gaining weight because you are eating the same but stopped exercising?
- Eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need.
- Include choices from whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources.
- Be sure to get plenty of activity every day. Physical activity is one of the most important aspects of keeping weight off, so do your best to keep active every day.

ReplyDeleteYou are lucky you don't have to go any where and you're an EXTREME TEAM member now because you want in. So welcome to the TEAM!!! All you have to do is be ready to exercise from home or gym. Be checking back the day before the Sunday before for Monday's exercise. It will be put up one day ahead so you know what you need to exercise with. Also I added a list of tools that would be helpful on my Goddess Workout Page under the 8 Week Beach Body Plan.

ReplyDeleteWelcome Sarah
DeleteHow do I sign up? Do you send an email the night before the workout? Just curious how this will work out.
ReplyDeleteGrace, you can send me an email at Michelle@lifeplusfitness.com and let me know you are in and send a pic. When it comes to your workouts... They will be posted one day ahead so you can do it first thing in the morning.
DeleteI'm not in shape by any means, but I'm ready for a change. Do you have to already be fit to do this?
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. When something seems too hard, just do your best and know its an exercise you will get strong enough to do all the way.
DeleteI'm excited to start! Do I need to sign up somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this I am just a little confused on how it works. We just check back each day so that we can find out what the workout is? Is there a way to get it a week at a time so I can plan better? DO we get an email or we just have to come and check? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRand and Tracy and ECapps welcome to the extreme team if I didn't already say that.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, You sign up just by saying you want to be apart of this. Then I post workouts every day the day before. If I am able I will post a couple ahead of time. We are doing these workouts together as in, I will be doing them the same day you are. I listed on a different post all the tools you will need and if you don't have them there are way to still workout without but it's better if you have most of the workout tools.
ReplyDeleteBring it ! I AM IN! Let's do this. My name is Tiffany. I want to feel good clothed and naked.
ReplyDeleteI am in!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Slightly terrified, but in!

DeleteWelcome Amy to the extreme team
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the extreme team
ReplyDeleteHow do I join?
ReplyDeleteKaitlin, your in. welcome to the extreme team
DeleteI'm a little intimidated - however, I have some people in place to keep me accountable for the next 8 weeks. Ok, Miss Michelle - I'm yours for (at least) the next 8 weeks!
ReplyDeleteAwsome, you in good hands Molly, I love helping others reach their goals and I will help you too.
DeleteWhere are the workouts posted??
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING! I had a general idea of what I had to do, but when you lay it out like this, there is literally NO excuse other than just pure laziness or giving up! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am happy to share and see people reach their goals. Glad you are here. Welcome to the Extreme team
DeleteWhere do I go nd how do I start? I'm really confused on how it works??
DeleteI'm definately a little scared, haha, but i'm going to give it a whirl! i need something to kick my butt back into gear, and workouts i can do from home are definately a huge plus. my father is sick and after he has surgery a few weeks from now, he'll need around the clock care, which means i won't be getting to the gym too often. knowing i'll be able to come here and follow your routines will keep me motivated :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found my blog. You sound like an amazing person taking on so much. Glad to hear you will take time for yourself as well.
Deleteso excited i found this and i am not that far behind! can't wait to get started and get toned up for summer.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Start on day 1 and I will be there for you.
DeleteIM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
ReplyDeleteive been looking for something to help me get back into shape
found you on pinterest. I am SO in!!! been running 1.5 miles and needing the stomach to get tone.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this, but need the motivation to actually work out. I hope your enthusiasm about working out will help influence me into being more excited. Count me in! Do I just start at Day 1?
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOOOO ready for this. Thanks for sharing this awesome program, 8 short weeks from now I will feel great!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you and happy to be a part of your success.

DeleteI found your blog on Pinterest...LOVE your blog and am so EXCITED to start this 8 week program, starting tomorrow!!! Thanks, Michelle! =)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Extreme Team
Deletei found your blog saturday and i was really pumped to try. I started Day 1 today and i felt great even though it kicked my butt. im glad thats theres others doing this so it does feel like im alone in this. THANK YOU MICHELLE!!!
ReplyDeleteGood questions. If you have time after a workout totally put in the cardio. because the workouts are 6 days a week the 7th one is off. If you still want to do some extra cardio go for it but remember if you are pushing really hard and tired give your body a day off. So excited for you and congrats on your wedding.
ReplyDeletethis sounds great! i am a lifeguard in the summer and i need something new to get me out of the rut i am in and ready for bikini time! sooo excited to start :)
ReplyDeleteI just started this last night! I am a mother of two and my youngest is 9 months. While my weight is back to what it was...I am FLABBY! And with two kids it is hard to find the time to GO somewhere to exercise! I loved last nights workout and hope to keep up!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your name? I would like to put you on my Extreme Team. I am glad you are here. Let me know how you do.
DeleteI'm all in! Bikini season here I come :) plus I'm going to look good for my wedding even though it's not till October
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your wedding. This is so exciting... Imagine how even better shape you will be for your wedding.
DeleteOh my goodness! I found this on Pinterest yesterday and this is exactly what I've been looking for! My best friend and I started Day 1 today and it was awesome! Thank you so much for doing this Michelle!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Welcome to the Extreme team. Keep me posted on how you are doing.
DeleteIt looks like this workout plan is a lot of toning exercises and no cardio workouts. Does that help you to lose weight even though I am not doing any kind of running?
ReplyDeleteI hit the gym 5-7x a week.. I run, walk, jog do yoga and do the elliptical and weights occasionally. I eat well, but don't count calories. I drink water.. No soda or alcohol.. I've been doing it for about 3 weeks and I weigh about 158 and really wanna look good in a bikini.. And I know it still early to see changes.. But any other advice? I appreciate anything and everything, your an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI posted a special post on making sure you are changing things up and doing right by yourself along the way. Check my blog. But stick to the plan until u reach your goals.
DeleteI want to do this so badly...I just pulled up the Marine test and it scared the hell out of me. I have tried to do pull ups before, I don't think I can last 5 seconds.LOL I am obese and I need to start a workout regiment this is a bit extreme but I am never one to start at the beginners level!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been so lazy lately and then hate myself when i look in the mirror, im 24 with 2 kids and I know i can have a great body again! I am adding this page to favorites and im going to get my bikini body back!!!! its hard to find time with a 5 and a half month old and 4 year old but I need to feel better about myself!
ReplyDeleteMegan, stay positive, love yourself, br proud of yourself every step of the way. You got this, even though you might not have enough time to finish each exercise it all counts. I totally know how hard it can be but I also know you got this.
DeleteJust started this for lent to get better healthy habits and in shape, and I'm so excited! But I was wondering... I'm a poor college student and money is pretty tight. Can any of the exercises with swiss balls, chin up bars, etc. be replaced with some different, equal other exercises?
ReplyDeleteYes they can. chair for soe replacement of ball or just the ground and bands for chin ups. Save 30 bucks and buy a ball and bands.
DeleteI found your blog and love it! I have been wanting to find a great workout program to start...and this is it!! I'm excited and can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeletefound this on pinterest. I've been doing crossfit and extreme workouts for over a year now. I want to switch it up and give yours a try over the next 8 weeks!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the team. I love when I start something new. I get so excited about tge challenge. Keep me posted.
DeleteSo excited to start this ASAP! 8 weeks to summer hard body!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah... That's the good stuff.
DeleteDay 1 is complete! My thighs are barkin' and I love it! I'm in:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome... Keep pushing through.
DeleteCount me in! I've been in dyer need of a good motivating workout plan. It has been a year since I have worked out or ran which I did both 5 days a week. But with the death of my mother in February last year I've had a ton of stress and no motivation. This is EXACTLY what I need to kick start my motivation again with support! Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Extreme Team. Keep me posted.
DeleteI'm in! So happy I found your blog. It inspires me to better myself. My 27th birthday is in approximately 8 weeks. I am hoping to reward myself with a new swim suit. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday soon . I can wait to here about your new look for your birthday. Keep me posted.
DeleteAmanda welcome to the Extreme Team. I am excited for you as well. Keep me posted.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing...the only question I had was are you aloud to mix and match the food diary foods? So if you don't like salmon can you just make a wrap that was posted previously or are these days worth of food designed to work as a unit for the day?
ReplyDeleteOmg Awesome! I'm totally in. I've been looking for something like this to help me lose my last 24lbs and to get toned up! I've lost thirty six lbs so far and ready to kick the rest of this weight off!
ReplyDeleteGo Kayla, go Kayla!
DeleteI'm starting today!! I will have to tweak the diets a little as I am a vegetarian!! So excited to see the results!!
ReplyDeleteEmily, diet is only ideas of what to eat. So excited to have you on my team. Keep me posted.
Deleteam a bit confused on how the work out's are what do i do if i am an oval shape body?
ReplyDeleteI'm in. Bring on the pain.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the team.
DeleteJust started today! I'm a college student So I can't follow your diet plan exactly because its expensive but if I follow the work out schedule with about 30-45 min of cardio 4 days a week I will really see results?
ReplyDeleteYes, eat healthy as you can drink lots of water and hit the workouts hard.
DeleteOnce we are finished with this 8 weeks, what level is required to maintain? Will we just have to start the 8 weeks over again? Don't get me wrong, love fitness and enjoy working out... but not sure I can sustain this level indefinitely!
ReplyDeleteI will be starting a new program after this one that you will love.
DeleteI just started the program tonight, and I can already feel it! I'm an ex college athlete who is extremely out of shape. I also travel almost every day, so I will need help modifying a few of these for the road! I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteAn exercise band is all you need and is easy to take on the road. Go get one if you don't already have one. What sport did you play?
DeleteDay 1 starts tomorrow! LET'S DO THIS! Thanks Michelle, I'm counting on your workout! I'm ready to be EXTREME! :)
ReplyDeleteRock n roll girl... How r u doing
DeleteI'm starting this tonight! So excited!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the team

ReplyDeleteBF is out of state for the next 2 months. Starting this tomorrow so he can have a nice lil suprise when he comes home and I can finally over come that last dreaded wall in my journey!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. Keep me posted.
DeleteI started this 8 week program today. I am going to take pictures of my progress every week, so i can see how far I've gotten. I am not considered overweight but i could be there if I don't start working! I want that toned beach body, I'm so happy I found this!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and am proud to have you on my team.
DeleteHelloooo, wicked workouts... just one question. I'm on my last 10 lbs, how much cardio should I be adding on to these workouts? 30 mins run?
ReplyDeleteYes... That would be perfect.
Deletethank youuu xxx
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I'm ready to be dead sexy! Come on ladies!! Let's dooooo this!!!!
ReplyDeleteAshley, welcome to the team. I love your energy. Totally what we all need.
DeleteI'm just finding this!!! I wish I would have found it a couple weeks back when it started :( I'm going to start Monday and add it to my regular 4 mile run and Kettlebell training :D (That's not to much is it?) I run 5 days a week, an hour per day (roughly 4 miles), on an elliptical because it's winter here. And the Kettlebell training I do is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My Kettlebell training only lasts 2 more weeks, so I can finish that and then continue to focus on this :)
ReplyDeleteHows your workouts going? Can't wait to have you on the team.
Deletei have an allergy to wheat, eggs (on their own) nuts and dairy but i want to do this!
ReplyDeletei also have a HUGE sweet tooth
do you have any suggestions?
Grabbed a friend and doing this program together!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the second week and i am really toning up. My arms look gooood. I can see the rest following suit. Thank you:)
ReplyDeleteHow many weeks deep are you with this? Did you start in February? Just curious!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have people starting today so don't worry about the start date.
DeleteI'm In..if I do boxersise three times a week should I replace some of this work out or should it juste be extra! can't wait to start!
ReplyDeleteNadia
Try doing both and if you cant then go to yout classes and add these in inbetween.
DeleteI'm in it to win it... And buy a new bikini. ;))
ReplyDeleteSince one day might be legs and one might be abs, is that all we are doing? If one day is abs, don't do legs also? Can we do cardio on top of these workouts?
ReplyDeleteDo we repeat the weekly workouts for week 5-8? I wasn't sure cause I didn't see a link for those weeks.
ReplyDeleteI just wasn't sure since I read somewhere on your blog saying don't workout the same muscles for at least 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteThis is true but the way I built these workouts it shouldn't case any issues with muscle recovery. Good question.
DeleteSo I'm in...kinda scared, but I think I can manage it during nap time, normally the little guy is always under foot. I'm excited that it isn't running, running is so hard on my knees, but I want the endurance it can bring.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Do what you can with the time you have. I understand the baby underfoot. Welcome to the team.
DeleteI'm in! I'm only fifteen, but I have decided that I want to start eating healthy while I'm young and stay in shape too. Can't wait, you truly are an inspiration and role model to the world!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ashley, I think you are an inspiration also. You prove that you can be a fit and healthy teenager and you dont have to let yourself go just case you can because it will catch up with everyone at some poiny. So proud of you.
DeleteI'm ready to sweat! Even though I'm only 15 I want to be in the best shape of my life!
ReplyDeleteDo it Karley
DeleteVery Excited I found your link! I am starting tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Extreme Team.
DeleteOne of the gals at work found this for us to do... we just completed our first workout today and it was great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
A friend and I just started today. It totally kicked our butts but we loved every minute of it. How many times do we do the circuits? Is it just once through or do we do it multiple times.
ReplyDeleteWill this help me lose weight? I'm sure it will, but I have a lot of weight to lose and I want to keep it off. Should I wait a couple months of exercising every day to start this?
ReplyDeleteLate to finding this awesome workout. Starting today!
ReplyDeleteThats what I like to hear.
ReplyDeleteI am doing these workouts everyday and I absolutely love them!! I have a question though. Is the elliptical a good cardio workout? Like if I decided not to run one day, would the elliptical be a good alternative? I just wasn't sure how effective that machine was. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm down! Getting bored with the usual workouts and I want something to make my husband sweat and a challenge for both of us.
ReplyDeleteThe more I read of your blog the more motivated I am! Just wondering if swimming (lengths) counts as cardio? Would it be beneficial to swim 1 hour twice a week and run 30 mins three times a week?
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for pretty much everything that's on your blog! I can't wait to get started this afternoon. I was wondering which order you would suggest completing your workouts in?
Also is it too late to get into shape for the summer?
I previously used the wrong methods to lose weight fast which resulted in an eating disorder, and although I maintained my ideal weight eating healthily again for over two years, the past two years I have gained quite a bit! I want to lose weight permanently, healthily and happily, and increase my fitness levels to extremes! Looking forward to starting this journey with you!
Hi Michelle! Just started the program! Day 4 coming in hot, love the workouts!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! Just started the program, day 4 coming in hot! I love the program and all the exercises!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for Extreme! Following the meal plan for my "8" Body Type is going to be the hardest part. It's hard for me to eat 2 meals a day, needless to say snacks too. I'm not a fan of protein and I usually eat once a day. I know it's my downfall. Unfortunately I never educated myself on the importance in giving my body the fuel it needs and I've suffered because of it. I'm ready to be healthy. Show me the light, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI am getting married after summer and want to start getting in shape and can not wait to start this program. I hope it works for me and I hope I have the motivation to finish all 8 weeks. I can't wait to see results!
ReplyDeleteI'm in graduate school and created a group of us to do this 8 week program! Were ready!
ReplyDeleteI have been doing this program for a week now and I love it! I just have a quick question. What are some good workouts to work your love handles (and behind love handles) and the sides of your body (by your ribs)? I feel like that is a part of my body I am having a hard time toning.
ReplyDeleteJust found your site and love the posted workouts!! I have no problem going to the gym and doing my cardio but then when I do my weight lifting I kinda just wander around doing various things until I just get bored and leave! I like being told what to do in the gym!! I don't want to think about it...just do it! I look forward to trying the 8 week bikini workout!!
ReplyDeleteI am so in :)
ReplyDeleteStarted this plan today! Your leg workout kicked my butt! Looking forward to abs tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on pinterst and am into the second week. I am loving it!!! I'm trying to add cardio in 3 times a week too, but am feeling it! I love it!
ReplyDeletei'm in! finishing up my first week tommorrow and i'm definitely feelin' the burn every day! =)
ReplyDeletei don't think my posts are showing up, but i'm just finishing up the first week tommorrow! i love this workout, it really kicks my butt. looking forward to the results at the end of week 8! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm in!! I am so ready for my bikini body!! But i wasnt planning on doing your food plan, i was just going to eat healthy, is that ok, or do you recommend me following your food plan??
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this! My hubs and I are going on vacation in june and I need to look seexy in a pair of shorts! (I don't wear bikinis I don't have the body for it)
ReplyDeleteWas wanting to start this soon, just had my fifth child, am 26, waiting for UID placement on the 29th of this month. How long should I wait to recover prior to starting? I've been printing off the workouts and getting an exercise book ready for the day I am able to start, just thought I'd ask your opinion on a good start date! Your blog is amazing, easy, and clean. Thank you, Elizabeth Ashley

ReplyDeleteMade it through the first week! So much soreness but I can tell the results are on their way! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy body is definitely shrinking, but this darn belly fat seems like it's the last to go. Is that usually how it works??
ReplyDeleteHey Michelle! I'm just reading through this program and I love it already!!! Unfortunately, I only have 4 weeks to get this bikini body! I'm very much in shape and I'm consistently working out, trying new regimes and programs. Do you suggest I do Weeks 1-4 or Weeks 4-8 for the best results?? I look forward to your input:) Thnx!
