Week 1: RESET & DE-BLOAT — Calm the Body, Create Momentum 💙

Welcome to Week 1 of the Challenge.

This week has a very simple focus:

WEEK 1 — RESET & DE-BLOAT

Theme: Calm the body. Create momentum.

This is not a push week.
It’s a settling-in week — for your digestion, your nervous system, your joints, and your routine.

If you’ve felt inflamed, puffy, tired, bloated, or “off” lately… this week is designed to help your body exhale.

🌱 WHAT WEEK 1 IS (AND ISN’T)

Week 1 IS:
✔ Simplifying food
✔ Reducing inflammation
✔ Reintroducing movement gently
✔ Re-establishing consistency

Week 1 is NOT:
✖ Going all-out
✖ Crushing yourself with workouts
✖ Eating perfectly
✖ Chasing the scale

When the body calms down, progress comes faster later.

🏋️‍♀️ TRAINING EXPECTATIONS (READ THIS CAREFULLY)

How many workouts?

  • If you’ve been training consistently:
    👉 Aim for 3–5 MVP Zone classes

  • If you’re new, coming back, or managing injuries:
    👉 2–3 classes is PERFECT this week

More is not better right now. Your body needs time to adapt.

What to focus on during workouts:

  • Learning movements and pacing

  • Choosing weights that feel challenging but very manageable

  • Asking for modifications whenever needed

💡 Examples:

  • Knee issue? → Reduce range of motion, slow the tempo

  • Shoulder issue? → Lighter weights, neutral grips, swap for different movement

  • Feeling sore? → That’s normal — keep moving gently and lean into recovery

If something feels painful (not just uncomfortable), stop and ask a coach.
