Doing a little Q&A for those who had questions about the new weight loss program...

Q: What is this program exactly?
A: The Fit & Empowered Method is a unique approach to a weight loss program that I designed for Moms, and is implemented (in segments) throughout all of the programs I offer. The program currently being promoted delivers the foundation of the Fit & Empowered Method, called the Weekend Weight Loss Intensive. This is a 3-day (Fri/Sat/Sun) online intensive program designed to teach you everything you need, and provide all the resources needed in order to construct your own customized weight loss program! This is the exact structure I use to write custom programs for my weight loss clients!

Q: Is this a template?
A: No! It's a series of lessons that teach you how to structure your own program, custom to your body's needs and your goals. This is not a "one-size-fits-all" program.

Q: Is this in person, or virtual?
A: The entire program is completely virtual, and you have lifetime access to the platform so you can always refer back when you've met your weight loss goal and you're ready to rewrite your program for your next goal! (i.e. toning, build muscle, etc.)

Q: What all is included in the Weekend Weight Loss Intensive?
A: You will get a series of lessons that teach you how to build your custom weight loss program, step-by-step, including fitness (workouts/target heart rate/schedule/etc.), nutrition (calories/macros/reverse dieting/etc.), rest & recovery (self-care/stretching/mindset/etc.), and I've thrown in a couple of bonuses for you too, such as a lesson on intermittent fasting, and a special free gift: "The Empowered Mom Masterclass."

Q: What results can I expect to see?
A: You can expect to lose weight over your whole body, but specifically tummy, hips, and thighs. Most clients lose weight their very first week! My clients who've seen the best results typically fit into most of the following criteria:
1.) Need to lose a minimum of 20lbs. 2.) Ages 30-60 years old. 3.) Are not post-menopausal, pre & peri are fine. 4.) Are able to workout at least twice a week. 5.) Willing to track food and habits for at least their first week. 6.) Are open to unlearning some theories previously taught and try something new.

Q: I don't meet all the criteria, can I still join or will this still work for me?
A: Yes! The criteria just describes my former clients that have seen the best/fastest results! All of my clients have lost weight, but not all fit all of the criteria. If you fit even just 1 of the criteria, you will see success in implementing the Fit & Empowered Method!

Q: Is this personal training?
A: No, but I teach you the exact structure I use to write programs for my personal training clients....therefore, you'll never need to hire another personal trainer again!

Q: Do you have a program where I can get community support and group coaching?
A: Yes! My Premium Group Coaching program includes this program, the next level up, and more! I will have more details about this coming soon!

Q: When can I sign up?
A: Open enrollment will be announced in the next couple of days, so keep an eye out! However...

**REMINDER** There are only 8 spots left on the first 50 wait list to receive 90% off! Let me know if you want in! 👇🏼

As embarrassing as this is, 🫣 I feel I have to share, because Moms need to know!!!

The pic on the left is the damage from having TWO baby boys back to back...while I love them dearly, OMG I never thought I'd be there!!! 😭

The pic on the right is the result of implementing my new FIT & EMPOWERED METHOD after endless hours of research, trial and error experimenting on myself, and a couple in person clients, and then running an online test group to be sure it worked...guess what...IT WORKED!!! 🙌🏻 (I'm personally down 35lbs and have sooooo much flexibility in my diet and workouts!!!)

This program has been PROVEN to work best for Moms who meet most of the following criteria:
➡️ need to lose a MINIMUM of 20lbs
➡️ ages 30-60 years old
➡️ is NOT post-menopausal (pre/peri is fine)
➡️ able to workout 2 or more times per week
➡️ willing to track food & habits for at least one week
➡️ willing to unlearn past theories that no longer work, and be open minded to trying something new...

This program is priced just under $600, but...as promised, the first 50 Mammas on the waitlist are getting a massive discount! ONLY 22 SPOTS LEFT FOR THE 90% OFF DISCOUNT!!! I'll soon be announcing open enrollment for my new program, where I'll be helping MOMS spend just ONE WEEKEND getting everything they need to...

🤩 start (or restart) your weight loss journey
🤩 calculate & set your CUSTOM calories and macros for fat loss
🤩 calculate your CUSTOM target heart rate ranges for the most efficient and effective workouts
🤩 access all my foods lists/guides/workbooks that I personally give to my weight loss clients
🤩 learn how to order out at any restaurant AND know exactly what to order at the drive thru when fast-food is a have-to
🎁 Aaaaaand I've included an additional bonus lesson on Intermittent Fasting, and a very special freebie as my gift to YOU!

PRICE GOES UP WHEN SPOTS ARE FILLED! If you’d like help learning what works for you for results that last...just let me know if you want to secure one of the remaining slots. 👇

In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be helping 50 Moms learn exactly what their body needs, and get their hands on all the tools and resources they need to finally lose the weight, and 14 Moms have already committed! 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

Why am I offering this? Some was from my own personal journey with trying to lose the baby weight (I'll share my story another time)...but a lot of it was from my experience with my clients...

1) After being in this industry for over a decade, I found that MOMS are the ones who give up the fastest, and in my opinion, they're the ones that deserve to feel amazing and confident more than anyone! We give up because we can't help but put everyone and everything else before our own needs, let alone goals. Sometimes the things we try is too much of a time commitment, too complex, or just isn't sustainable.

2) I've also learned that the majority of women just need to know where to start...they need the knowledge and tools that the professionals have, but don't have time to get all the credentials just to work on their own weight loss journey...I hear it all the time..."just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

3) Truthfully, it breaks my heart that so many Moms just accept that being unhealthy, out of shape, overweight, and think that hating themselves is okay just because they had kids...Ladies, your kids were a gift, not a curse. Your body is a reflection of your sacrifice, but it's still YOUR body! Now that you've birthed your children, YOU decide what you want it to reflect.

My goal with this new program is to help Moms get exactly what they need, and restart their weight loss journey in JUST ONE WEEKEND! Think, if you finally knew how to make it fit into your life, instead of the other way around, and weight loss wasn't the only result...also confidence, peace of mind, more energy, less stress, better sleep, fewer mood swings and on and on it goes...

OH! I forgot to mention, these first 50 will get a MASSIVE discount on this program...90% off to be exact!

If you want one of the remaining spots, just let me know and I'll add you to the waitlist! 👇🏼

Exciting news!! 🎉 It’s official…

I’m launching a new program where I will personally be helping MOMS...

🤩 start (or restart) your weight loss journey
🤩 calculate & set your CUSTOM calories and macros for fat loss
🤩 calculate your CUSTOM target heart rate ranges for the most efficient and effective workouts
🤩 access all my foods lists/guides/workbooks that I personally give to my weight loss clients
🤩 learn how to order out at any restaurant AND know exactly what to order at the drive thru when fast-food is a have-to

It won't be free, BUT..my goal is to help the first 50 Moms who actually NEED this get a massive discount, but here's the catch...

This program will work best for Moms who meet the following criteria:

➡️ ages 30-60 years old
➡️ is NOT post-menopausal (pre/peri is fine)
➡️ able to workout 2 or more times per week
➡️ willing to track food & habits for at least one week
➡️ willing to unlearn past theories that no longer work, and be open minded to trying something new...

If this sounds like you, and you’d like help learning what works for you for results that last, I'll add you to the already growing wait list...just let me know. 👇

Quick question…

I’m thinking about creating a new program where I will personally help you learn everything you need to know, get all the tools and resources, and start (or restart) your weight loss journey...

I've found that most women just need help getting started...is that you? How much weight are you wanting/needing to lose?

Coach Maria Empowering Moms with the ✨Confidence to Manifest✨ the Body & Life they want!

Today I bought myself a “just because” bouquet…

Just because I am beautiful
…
Just because I am intelligent
…
Just because I am special
…
Just because I am creative
…
Just because I am passionate
…
Just because I am successful
…
Just because I AM WORTHY!

Ladies, take care of yourself, and give yourself what you deserve. Speak the affirmations until you believe them, because they’re true.

My “workday” really just does not get much better than this…writing up programs and client calls from the beach is not a bad gig lol 🏝 💻 😎 ☀️ 🌊
…
🎶 “Ay ay ayyy I’m on vacation, every single day, cuz I love my occupation…” 🎶

✨Believe in YOU✨

GET👏🏼IT👏🏼DONE👏🏼

Wishing a very happy birthday to this awesome client of mine! 💪🏼🥳 Got to give her a big shout out for making it to the gym on her special day! 🏋🏻‍♀️ In honor of her big 4–0 we did 40 reps of every exercise today! Here was I work out…

💪🏼 alternating lat pulldown
💪🏼 Single arm dumbbell row
💪🏼 been over single arm cable back fly
💪🏼 standing single arm cross body lat pull
💪🏼kneeling rope pull
💪🏼incline bench hammer curls
💪🏼E-Z bar wide & inner grip curls
💪🏼dumbbell delt fly
💪🏼dumbbell rear delt fly
💪🏼dumbbell curl to press

Fellow I gotta give you props! Trying to squeeze a lift sesh in with a baby is no joke! 😂 How’d we get through it? Bring the swing and toys downstairs ✅ listen to playtime music ✅ cram sweet potatoes between sets ✅ count all the reps in a silly voice ✅ spell all the exercises while dancing and making silly faces ✅

Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. 💯 Eat to fuel your body, to give life to your cells, for energy, for years added, for memories made, for gratitude. When you think of food in this way, it’s hard to eat bad. No one really wants to destroy their body. Think about it. 💭

…because sometimes you just need a rest day. 😌 Just because you’re resting today, doesn’t mean you’re failing. In fact, it’s the opposite. You’re recovering, recharging, and preparing to dominate the days ahead. Take care of you and just keep going. 🤍

You know, sometimes ya just don’t wanna, but ya gotta anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being accepting of yourself is a beautiful thing, but only when your focus is on positive traits. If you’re constantly putting yourself down, and then saying “that’s just how I am,” you’re actually giving up on yourself. Try recognizing the negative thoughts/emotions that come up, and intentionally change them to a positive thought like, “I’m willing to work on that.” Your future self will thank you for it. You deserve to be the very best version of you, so work towards becoming her instead of giving up. 🤍

❄️ SNOW DAY ❄️

Let’s do a plank challenge! How long can you hold a plank? How many times in a row? 💪🏼😎

Come on girlfriend… none of this “on again, off again” stuff. Get off the roller coaster and let’s make some real progress. You CAN! 💪🏼😘

Say to my today!! Simple & healthy 👌🏻😌 Fresh baby spinach, portobello mushrooms, shrimp, and a touch of teriyaki.

DO NOT…I repeat…DO NOT forget to stretch!! Stretching is as equally important as your workouts, if not MORE IMPORTANT! 💯 If you aren’t stretching consistently, you’re more prone to injury, overly tight muscles/tendons, and pain…and no one wants that!

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some delicious, and simple, ideas for and 💥👊🏼😉

It’s time to become the BEST version of you. You deserve her. 💕

No equipment? No problem! Try these few exercises at home for toned, tank top arms, and a flat tummy! 💪🏼😍

For real! 💯 🙅🏻‍♀️
