HOW TO BUILD POWERFUL HABITS (WHILE HAVING FUN)

SUMMARY

Massive action is a LIE — nothing will get you stuck where you are faster than believing you need to change everything immediately.

There’s a way more effective approach, and it starts with creating new habits (in a way that’s fun and enjoyable vs. as boring as watching paint dry)!

I want to show you how I create a near-invincible routine that keeps me on track long-term, not only in fitness but in every area I want to master.

Best of all, it’s easier than you think — if you follow the approach I lay out for you in this video!

Now, let’s build some habits!

WarriorBabe Program Reviews & Highlights

SUMMARY

Over 10,000 women have had their lives transformed inside one of our WarriorBabe programs.

I’ve seen women drop 100 pounds in 9 months, reverse some major health issues, fall in love with food again, pack on lean muscle while eating more than ever, and finally release themselves from restrictive diets after years of pain and confusion.

You can take it from me… or you can take it from the women in this video who are now in control of their bodies and love who they have become.

This highlights just a few of the many testimonials we’ve received over the years from our Blueprint and VIP programs.

I’d love for you to become the next one.

Inside The WarriorBabe Blueprint

SUMMARY

Here’s a quick look inside the Blueprint, my comprehensive course on eating and working out for your unique body type.

You’ll be able to see a list of modules, how our Q&A sessions work, how to get chat support from our team, and overall what you can expect if you decide to join.

If you’re on the fence or just want to see what it’s all about, give it a look and I’ll see you there!

At the end, if the Blueprint looks like exactly what you need to get toned, fill out the short application to chat with my team — together we’ll see if we can help you get where you want to be.

What is WarriorBabe VIP?

SUMMARY

Have questions about how the VIP program works, and how it’s different from the Blueprint? How it can help you reach your fitness goals faster? Or just curious to have a look inside?

I break down the entire program, including:

  • What to expect inside the Facebook group (it’s a completely different one from the Blueprint — and my coaches and I are a lot more active in there)…
  • A closer look at our intimate weekly Q&A calls, where you can directly ask me every question you have, face to face…
  • How I can help you achieve your goals step-by-step in the fastest way possible…
  • Our full monthly tracking system that keeps you on target and shows you exactly where you’re moving closer to or farther away from your goals (and how to fix it)…
  • How to apply for your free strategy session to see how the VIP program can help you crush your goals…

And by the end, you’ll have a much better idea of whether it’s right for you.

The gist is that the VIP program involves full one-on-one coaching — but since it’s entirely virtual, you might be wondering what that actually looks like.

I’ve broken everything down so you can see how every single aspect of this program is optimized to get you to your goals faster.

If you want to talk to someone on my team to see if this program is right for you, fill out a quick application and we’ll get you taken care of!

How To Build Powerful Habits That Last (While Having Fun)

SUMMARY

Massive action is a LIE — nothing will get you stuck where you are faster than believing you need to change everything immediately.

There’s a way more effective approach, and it starts with creating new habits (in a way that’s fun and enjoyable vs. as boring as watching paint dry)!

I want to show you how I create a near-invincible routine that keeps me on track long-term, not only in fitness but in every area I want to master.

Best of all, it’s easier than you think — if you follow the approach I lay out for you in this video!

Things To Know Before Starting Your Fitness Journey

SUMMARY

In this training, I share a few tips that would literally have saved me from years of starving myself on bad diets and fitness plans.

Even if you never listen to anything else I say, watch this video — it’s a shortlist of some of the most important tips I’ve learned in the process, including:

  • What you should do when you mess up and have that slice of pizza or chocolate — and why it’s not as bad as you think…
  • The muscle group you definitely shouldn’t train every day if you want to get toned…
  • Why carbs are not evil, and how to properly incorporate them into your diet…
  • Why an hour of focused exercise is more effective than spending 3 hours on cardio…
  • What really happens when you take shortcuts in your workouts and diet…

If you’re just starting out or aren’t happy with how you look and feel right now, watching this will make everything else you do so much easier by giving you focus. And that’s going to get you the results you want so much faster.

This is a short training — under 3 minutes — and taking the time to watch this now could literally save you weeks or even months down the road!

If doing this all by yourself feels overwhelming, my team is taking applications for a free private strategy call, where we help you plan out your journey to getting toned. The women that go through this call feel so much clearer on exactly how to get where they want — and talking to someone who understands is the closest thing there is to a...

Detoxifying Your Self Sabotaging Actions

SUMMARY

If you don’t have your mindset straight, you’ll defeat yourself before you ever even get to the gym or prep your first meal. So how do you fix that?

Check out this video with my entire process for cutting out all the toxic mental gunk holding you back. Specifically, how you can:

  • Take responsibility for where you are right now and stop feeling like a victim
  • Identify the “YoYo” patterns that stop you from getting results
  • Discover the triggers behind your bad habits and eliminate them
  • And get to the root of the problem and take back control

This might not be a sexy topic, but it is 100% the biggest barrier you need to destroy in order to be present in the gym, in your eating, and in every other area of your life.

95% of our actions are unconscious, created by your underlying beliefs and feelings. In the video, I show you how to take advantage of this to stop yourself from slipping back into nasty habits so you can keep up your progress.

This entire process is so much easier if you have an expert walking you through it. My team is still taking applications for private strategy calls — if you want us to create a plan with you to eliminate your self-sabotaging habits, apply now, and see if we still have openings.
