1-2-3…smile! Take your "before" photos and measurements today so as your body transforms, you can measure your changes against where you began. I know not everyone likes to document things about themselves they wish to change—but trust me, do it now and you'll be thankful later.
As an extra incentive, if you keep track of your photos, weight, and measurements, when you finish the program you can enter the Beachbody Challenge by visiting BeachbodyChallenge.com.

Check out this transformation! Lisa lost 18 pounds and 9.75 inches in 30 days with Country Heat. She was able to use the modifier when necessary and keep the moves low-impact, and she still saw great results!†
"Country Heat allowed me to change my mindset about exercise and working out. You can have fun doing something other than playing sports. A person doesn’t have to be in condition to get in better shape—you can start right where you are (everyone can dance!) and progress from there. One of the best things about Country Heat is that it's easy on your joints. I saw amazing results all three months doing low-impact moves. On some moves I could increase the intensity, but on other moves I kept my movements low-impact and saw results."
—Lisa L.
†Results vary depending on starting point and effort.

If you’re drinking your Shakeology, you might be noticing a few changes. For me, it was increased energy, which I loved. And I know I’m not alone here—in fact, 86% of people in a survey of daily Shakeology drinkers feel the same way! (Based on a survey of 2,769 Shakeology users, including independent Team Beachbody Coaches, who drank Shakeology 5 or more times per week and exercised at least 3 times per week.)
What positive changes have you noticed since starting to drink Shakeology?

Talk about inspiration! Millie lost 26 pounds and 31 inches in 90 days of Country Heat!† Though she never had a dance lesson in her life and this was the first workout program she tried, she found the workouts easy to do. She said following Autumn was easy, because she broke down the steps into easy-to-follow directions.
"I did not expect to see such results from this fun workout. I also didn't expect to sweat so much! The music was great. It was fun and easy to dance to. Country Heat is something I would recommend to everyone! It is simple, fun, energizing, and from young to old, women to men—everyone can see results and add a little spunk to every day!"
—Millie F.

Barbara G. lost 30.5 lbs.!† She had the following to say!
"The workouts are great because they are easy to learn, but can be adjusted so that you push yourself more as you get used to the steps. It helped me keep going and push more each time. I was able to stick with Country Heat easier than other programs, I think because the workouts were interesting and never felt like they got stale. And I loved the music! It was fun to get to know the songs and steps so well. I find that they really timed the dance moves perfectly to the music, which made it really fun." —Barbara G.

Message me if you’re interested.

I have yet another story of success to share with you: Edward lost 46.5 pounds and 30.5 inches in 90 days with Country Heat.† After completing the program, he is feeling happier and healthier, and notices his new, slimmer shape and flat belly!
"The workouts are fun and easy, but you can modify up or down to increase or decrease [the intensity]. Sometimes I followed the modifier, but once I got in better shape, it was rarely needed. The music is great (and I wasn't a fan of country music before). I really like 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).' The beat made it fun and easy to do the moves. Country Heat is fun, easy, effective, and you can start no matter what level of fitness you're at." —Edward J.
