Want to Rock B3 All In? Add an Ease-In Week
Have you signed up to join us for B3 ALL IN? The four-week program starts on January 9, but we have a tip that will help you start strong: add an ease-in week.
How do you do this? It’s simple: Rather than jump into the program cold turkey on Day 1, give yourself a week to ease into your new routine. It’s a bit like dipping your toe in the water before jumping in. You’ll be more prepared for the changes to come, and the transition will be a whole lot easier.
Here’s how you can make sure you’re fully ready on Day 1 of B3 ALL IN:
- Move at least three times this week. We’ll be asking you to do five workouts each week during B3 ALL IN, and that can feel like a heavy lift you’re not used to moving your body. As you lead up to Day 1, take time to exercise, whether it’s with a barre3 class, a yoga session, or a hike along your favorite trail.
- Curb your sugar intake. While we include plenty of sweet treats in the B3 ALL IN meal plans, none of our recipes use refined sugar. That’s because sugar attacks the immune system, causes inflammation in the body, and disrupts your blood sugar. By eliminating refined sugars, not only will you feel lighter and more energized, you’ll also help your body prevent disease, you’ll think more clearly, and you’ll be less prone to illness. To minimize your cravings from the beginning, take this week to cut back on high-sugar snacks and desserts.
- Test out alternatives. The recipes for B3 ALL IN don’t include alcohol, sugar, or gluten. If those categories are a part of your current routine, use the ease-in week to test out alternatives. For example, if you drink cow’s milk, try various nut milks to see which type you prefer. If you love your nightly glass of beer or wine, stock up on kombucha so you’ll have something healthy to reach for when the time comes. That way you’ll be off to a running start from the very beginning.
- Ask for support. Research shows that when we feel accountable to others, we’re much more likely to stick to our goals. This week, tell people you’re about to embark on B3 ALL IN and encourage them to check in with you throughout the month. Better yet—find a friend or family member to be your B3 ALL IN buddy!
- Prep: B3 ALL IN includes three recipes and a snack each day. If you’re not used to cooking that much on a regular basis, it can feel like a lot. Use this week to set yourself up for success. Look ahead at the weekly grocery lists and stock your pantry with the staples you’ll need. On the Sunday before B3 ALL IN starts, set aside a healthy chunk of time to prep as much as you can for the meals coming up the first week. The less overwhelmed you feel during Week One, the more likely you’ll be to stick to the plan all month long.
- Set your schedule: Sit down with your calendar and create a detailed schedule now. This includes your classes, but also your grocery trips, meal-prep time, and journaling sessions. Treat these entries like any important appointment—because that’s exactly what they are!
For extra support, barre3 founder Sadie Lincoln will lead the ease-in week on barre3 Plus from January 2nd to January 8th (remember—B3 All In is free to barre3 Plus subscribers!). And anyone who has signed up for B3 ALL IN is invited to join Sadie and Dr. Frank Lipman for their FREE webinar on Thursday, January 5th at 5pm PST. Sadie and Dr. Lipman will answer all your questions so you’ll be prepared for Week 1 of B3 ALL IN. Head to the B3 ALL IN Community Board to register for the webinar!
