YOUv2

 

Have you ever wondered what is the right fitness program for you...especially if you are just starting on your fitness and nutrition journey? I would imagine many of us have...and that includes me! So where do you begin?

 

In May Beachbody launched YOUv2, a dance-inspired fitness program!!! This new program is for everyone, of any fitness level...and it is a great place especially to get beginners started. It is a fun and easy program to follow and a new way to approach weight loss and your overall health.

Weight loss is not an easy thing to do. Either is losing body fat while gaining lean muscle...and just getting into shape in general. It takes one day at a time. Successfully losing weight - ideally shedding body fat while gaining lean muscle - requires some sacrifice and dedication, but it does not mean you can't have fun along the way!

Injecting fun into the process will help you to stick with your goals and your newer healthier habits. Consistency, accountability and motivation, along with your workouts and eating healthy, are the keys to your success and meeting your goals.

"Be mindful that you're not going to change in one day. Be patient, and the most important thing is to try to be consistent," advises Leandro Carvalho, Super Trainer and creator of Beachbody's YOUv2 program, a four-week dance and sculpting routine that gives people a fun, positive, confidence boosting place to begin their weight-loss journeys.

What is YOUv2?

• The Meal Guide, K.I.S.S. (Keep it Super Simple) & Just Eat will help you make small, simple changes over 4 weeks with just 4 easy steps...helping you to eat better and create healthier habits. No strict diets.
• Fun workouts with no confusing choreography. Follow along with 4 cardio-dance routines and 2 body-sculpting workouts...moving to party tunes we all know from the 80's and 90's!!
• Low-impact, 30 minute, beginner workouts designed for those who want to develop healthy habits and just want to start moving!
• No modifications...only an intensifier! You will be shown how to burn more calories by making your moves bigger...and it is recommended to use weighted gloves to make you work even more!
• Equipment is not needed to incorporate this program into your new routine.
• Beachbody On-Demand has an exclusive kids channel that the whole family can enjoy and do together.
• The Motivation Wall Art Calendar lays out which workout to do on each day, 5 days a week. This calendar is filled with positive reinforcement and inspirational quotes from Leandro and the women in his videos.
• The Oh Hello YOUv2 Journal will help you track your feelings, your progress, as well as the things that set you back. You will begin to discover what inspires and motivates you to stay on track and move forward.
• No weekend workouts...this is your time to grocery shop and prepare yourself for the following week!
   

Who is YOUv2 for?

• Beginners and those that are just getting started or have not worked out in awhile.
• Those who like to dance to classic party tunes and have fun while moving and grooving!
• Those who want to feel better inside and out, gain more confidence, and begin their life-changing journey.
• Those that don't like strict diets and are discouraged that nothing else has worked for them.
• Those that want to create healthier habits and lose weight.

Who is Leandro Carvalho?

"Leandro knows how to make a easy workout into a fun workout. He's a professional dancer with years of experience in prestigious dance companies. His lifelong love of fitness lets him share his knowledge with everyone from elite athletes to beginners. He's here to show you fun ways to get fit at home with beginner workouts without equipment. Leandro's philosophy is to share his vast knowledge to help everyone and especially those that conventional fitness programs leave behind."

What is Leandro's advice on how to get started?

• Begin to drink more water.
• Make better choices in your diet
• Be patient and take it easy. If your try to do too much, it can backfire and you might hurt yourself.
• Stick with it. Be persistent and be committed so you can improve each time.
• If you can't do the 30-minute workouts all at once, do 10 minutes. Maybe next week you can do 15, then 20 minutes the week after that.

"It might be easier said than done to just start, but it's more about simplifying. Doing something is better than doing nothing. Pick one or two healthier new things to try, such as drinking a glass of water before each meal or adding one non-starchy vegetable to each meal, and practice those new things until they become second nature. Then pick another one or two healthier things to try. Soon these little things will start to show big returns."
