Live CIZE Workout!
Good Wednesday Morning!!  Boy do I have a lot to share with you today! So, it's been just over one week since I started Shaun T's newest home fitness program, CIZE, and I am LOVING it!  I'll be honest, last April when I first heard this new program was coming out, I was a bit hesitant.  Sure, I like to dance, but would it REALLY get me a good workout?  I trusted my gut, which told me that Shaun T would NEVER release anything that would be a waste of time or give a lack of results, so, there really wasn't any question of whether or not I would purchase it.

Live CIZE Workout!
 Fast forward three months where just over a week ago I was at a huge Coach Conference called Coach Summit, where I had the opportunity to do a LIVE CIZE workout with Shaun T himself.  Ok, so I have to admit, it was the group of lovely ladies I was with that REALLY wanted to do Cize. I actually preferred to register for a different workout but figured I'd go with my group and sign up.  I have to say, it was probably one of my best decisions of that entire trip! First of all, the energy was indescribable!  Secondly, I was DRIPPING in sweat!!  I couldn't believe that DANCING for 30 minutes would be such a GREAT workout!  In fact, I woke up sore the next morning, which is a sign that the workout certainly did it's job!  Needless to say I was pretty excited to come home and get started with the program.

CIZE Week 1
So, here I am in the middle of Week 2 and truly enjoying this new type of exercise!  I seriously look forward to my workout every day!  So here's the thing... Often times I hear people say that they can't workout because of their kids.  They HAVE to go to a gym or they just can't make themselves a priority because they don't have time.  I get it!! I used to say the SAME THING (well, not the gym part)!  I started doing home fitness programs when my daughters were 1 and 3 years old.  Yes, they ran around me. Yes, they tried to crawl on my back while doing push ups. But guess what? They LEARNED that Mommy was going to be exercising every day.  And they LEARNED that they were not suppose to be jumping all over me.  And you know what?  They eventually started to jump right in with me!  No, they don't work out with me EVERY SINGLE DAY. But they ARE  in the same room as me!  Cize has taken that to a whole new level!  The music is great and my 5 year old actually asked me if what I was doing was really "exercising!" 


So, when I told her that this was a new type of exercise and that it was really fun, she decided to join in with me!  Below is a workout called Crazy 8's.  It was Day 2 of the program.


What started to happen throughout the week was she was actually asking ME when we were going to dance! How cute is that?! And then what eventually happened by the beginning of Week 2, my 3 year old decided to jump in and give it a try as well! (That video will be on my Week 2 progress update!)

A cool feature about Cize is that if you purchase a Cize Challenge Pack (which includes Shakeology), you get a 30 day trial of the Club Membership, giving you access to Beachbody on Demand. Then, not only can you access all Beachbody fitness programs (many of which in full), but your COMPLETE Cize program, including the nutrition guide, will be there too! So, you can actually get started right away!  There are some neat On Demand features where you can access the end of each workout so you can just go through the entire routine a few times. You can even access an exclusive "Mashup" section where Shaun T puts multiple dances together. It's actually a really cool feature to be able to access the workout On Demand. It's nice to skip past all of the commercials and warnings too!

Ok so let's move on to these Cize Workouts!  I wanted to give you an overview of what comes with the program, as well as the nutritional component.  

Cize comes with 6 workouts, and 8 count ab workout, and if you order through a Team Beachbody Coach, like myself, you also get a bonus workout called Hold Your Own.   All of the workouts have GREAT music too!  As you can see in the pic below, you get a workout calendar (you get to choose whether you want the beginning or advanced calendar), the Eat Up eating plan book, a Weekend Survival Guide, the workouts, and of course, once you enter in your results after 4 weeks you will receive a FREE pair of CIZE socks!  The Challenge Pack also includes your month supply of Shakeology, access to my online accountability group, discounted shipping, and your free On Demand trial. I should probably mention that the complete Cize Challenge Pack is also ON SALE through August 31st!  Right now it is the cheapest it will EVER go!

CIZE Meal Planning

If you have experience with the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, or Insanity Max 30, then the meal planning component will be familiar to you. If you DON'T have experience, then let me briefly explain.  Cize comes with a color coded portion control plan where you are provided with food lists for each type of nutrient. You can use the color coded containers if you have them from a program mentioned above; however, you do not need them.  Your diet consists of fruits, vegetables,
carbs, proteins, healthy fats, seed/oils, and nut butters.  You are provided with food lists, which are ordered in nutritional value, and you are free to select which foods you would like to eat.  The serving size is listed next to each food so there is no question or confusion as to how much you should be eating. Below is a video that I created for my Cize Test Group.  I go through the entire "Eat Up" eating plan book that comes with the program and provide some meal planning tips for getting started.  There is a unique "meal builder" section at the end of the book that gives you TONS of ideas for grilling, making omelets, salads, wraps, stir fry, oatmeal, and a lot more!  Check out the video for more info on that!


So what DOES a Cize Meal Plan look like? It looks pretty similar to my other plans because there is no trick to eating healthy!  It really doesn't change much from one program to the next! As always, I incorporate my Shakeology for breakfast daily.  My Shakeology ensures that I am getting my daily dose of nutrients and it provides me with natural energy and of course, curbs my cravings! I love having a morning "chocolate fix"!

If you follow me at all, or if you are familiar with Beachbody, then you may know about a FANTASTIC little cookbook, called Fixate that was just released a couple of days ago. It has 101 healthy recipes, many of which are kid-friendly, Paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free!  Well, this cookbook goes RIGHT IN LINE WITH CIZE and it's color coded portion control system! 
No, it does not come with the program. It is something you would need to purchase separately.
So, while you are getting your kids in to exercising, get them in the kitchen too!!

FIXATE Brownies
 Of all of the recipes we could have tried first, we picked BROWNIES!!  They were actually Flourless Chocolate Brownies!  The girls LOVED them, which was great because I didn't feel guilty about giving some to them.

So, what do you think?! Does CIZE sound like something you'd like to try?!  If so, you are in luck!  I am going to be hosting another online accountability group in August where many others will also be going through the Cize program! The group will last 30 days and will also have one week of planning.  I will provide you with support, motivation, guidance, and accountability in going through this 4 week program and getting the results that YOU want!
