Inspire 30: Success!

The results are in! Inspire 30 was a huge success for our members who participated. In case you don’t know, Inspire 30 is a routine-driven method for achieving healthy fitness and lifestyle goals over a thirty day period that will help you break through your fitness rut. Members volunteered to take this extra step and took part in the challenge. We at the Shop are extremely proud of everyone who participated, and if you’re thinking about taking your fitness to the next level, we encourage you to take the plunge into Inspire 30! But don’t take it from us, hear it from community members who already have:

After the first meeting where all the program goals and requirements were explained to us, I thought it was near impossible to accomplish. I have never been very disciplined in my eating habits or in my workouts, but after doing The Inspire 30 program, so many things in my life have changed. I now think about the food that is going into my mouth and the consequences it will have on my body. My fiancé was not thrilled with how radically I went about changing our diet and the food that is kept in our house. After 2 weeks of eating clean, he was all about it. He started asking ME to look up new recipes. Overall, Inspire 30 helped both of us. I always look at product labels, I’m excited about working out and I don’t even want to eat the foods I used to. A great bonus is that my wedding dress is needing to be taken in and I didn’t need to do anything crazy to make that happen.

When I told people I was doing Inspire 30, three questions popped up a lot: Is it a cleanse?” Is it a weight loss program? Is this where you eat Paleo for 30 days? The answer is none of the above. I saw Inspire 30 as an opportunity to reboot my system, eat clean, get plenty of sleep, recommit to my training, focus on the important things in my life with an amazing support group at the Shop. The program encouraged me to set goals and get back on track after a rough 2013 holiday season filled with travel, food binges, and no training. Coach Leann and the other participants held each other accountable, and it was great to see the support when people hit roadblocks during the 30 day program. Leann’s daily motivational email was both inspirational and filled with useful information on food, training, and life. I would highly encourage people to give the Inspire 30 a shot—it will change your life for the better. Now, I experienced greater energy levels, eat healthier cleaner meals (most of which I prepare), and feel better all round.

I didn’t really know what to expect from Inspire 30. I had some goals to lose some more weight and so I figured this would really help me out.

Day One, we did burpees and a short benchmark workout to provide our starting numbers. Then we chatted about what Inspire30 was about, and to me it was about stepping outside of my comfort zone.

We were asked not to consume any dairy for 30 days, and if we couldn’t commit to 30 days, then how about 10? My first reaction was like, “Hell no, I’m not giving up half and half in my coffee!”, but I was committed to trying something new, so I did, and I actually went without dairy for over 30 days! Since then, I have had some half and half in my coffee, but no cheese and no other dairy products. So, what sounded like a horrible idea at the beginning really became a new lifestyle for me.

It also reaffirmed that making small changes to my diet can have a really be impact in the long run. My frequency of “cheat meals” also decreased and I started to cook a little bit more at home. Now I cook a lot of my meals at home. I still go out to eat, but it has decreased quite a bit as well.

What Inspire 30 did for me overall was help me make small tweaks to my diet that I would have been unwilling to make if I had not committed to this. When we retested, my burpees increased by one, and I significantly improved my numbers on the benchmark workout. Per Leann, I “blew it out of the water.” If you are stuck in a rut or don’t know what direction to go in, I would recommend Inspire 30 to help you get started on your new lifestyle.
