WHAT IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO DRAG YOURSELF OFF THE COUCH? WHAT IF EXERCISE WAS AN ACTIVITY YOU “JUST DID”?

  • Hi, I’m Maria, best-selling author of “Surprisingly…Unstuck: The power of small healthy habits in a world addicted to instant results.”
  • When I was doing my graduate studies at Stanford my health habits fell apart – I was exercising less and ended up gaining 15 pounds.
  • I knew that if I kept down that path of “worsening habits,” then 10 years later I’d be sedentary and in poorer health.
  • And that’s why I studied habits. I’m now in the best shape of my life, exercising 5 times a week and actually liking it! In Exercise Bliss I’m showing you how you can do it too. Ready?

READY TO GET HEALTHY + STAY HEALTHY?

Watch the video to preview how Exercise Bliss can help you go from not exercising and seeing exercise as a chore, to exercising and actually wanting to do it.

REAL EXERCISE BLISS RESULTS:

How Krista Lost 25 Pounds By Building The Habit First

She didn’t want to just “accept” she would be overweight forever

In her interview Krista mentioned how she had read a book that talked about body acceptance and urged her to love her body as it was and stop trying to change. She felt that the book was suggesting she would be overweight forever and she should just come to terms with it!

She got angry. She didn’t want to accept that that would be her situation forever. And that’s when she enrolled in Exercise Bliss.

Two months later, she’s exercising daily!

In EB we start out gently, so she started by holding the plank for a few seconds. She did all the Mind reprogramming exercises offered in the program. Two months later when she graduated she already had a daily exercise habit that she actually enjoyed!

Then, the weight started to come off naturally – without dieting!

Then, a few months later I announced a new exercise program, geared to get results in little time. She got in and went from doing gentle exercise to doing high intensity exercise!

A few months later she had already lost 22 pounds, and then 25 pounds from her high intensity effort. I even featured her results here. Now it’s been more than a year later since she first got into EB and she’s still exercising.

Is she thinner than a year ago? Yes she is. Does she have a new healthy habit that she actually likes doing? Yes she does. More than a year later she’s still exercising. As she said:

I no longer shame myself because of my size

Now that I am finished with the program, I have continued to establish small tiny habits to make positive strides with creating a healthy lifestyle. I am learning to appreciate my body and I enjoy the way my body feels after a challenging workout. I still have a long journey to reach my desired target weight, but I no longer shame myself because of my size, because I am making daily strides to reach my goal, and for that I finally feel at peace with my body.

– Krista B., Teacher & Photographer, Exercise Bliss Graduate

Now I have a question for you…

WOULD YOU WANT TO BECOME LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE DAILY EXERCISE A SECOND NATURE?

Would you LOVE to exercise every day, just because this is something you do, not because you force yourself to do it?

Would you LOVE to see yourself in the mirror and take secret pride in the new definition your body gets?

Would you love to know that you’re doing the right thing for your body and your health?

Would you love to answer “yes” when your doctor asks whether you exercise?

Would you love to inspire your children to adopt the same healthy behaviors as you?

If yes, keep reading…

Give Me 8 WEEKS And I’ll…
Show You How To Exercise Daily & LOVE IT!

IS EXERCISE BLISS NOT FOR YOU?

Today is the day where you decide if Exercise Bliss is right for you. Before I walk you through exactly what you’ll get in Exercise Bliss, let me tell you who this program is NOT for:

  • You don’t want to devote 1-2 hours a week to yourself: understanding why you do what you do, changing how you think, and taking care of your body.
  • You have an event to attend in three weeks and you’re looking for quick results. You don’t care if you drop exercise starting week 4.
  • Even though you’ve tried to stick to exercise multiple times in the past, and even though it never actually worked, you believe you’ll find a solution on your own and are not willing to get help.

IS EXERCISE BLISS PERFECT FOR YOU?

If you can say “YES” to any of these questions…I believe you’re PERFECT for Exercise Bliss.

  • You have a treadmill at home, or fitness DVDs that you wish you used…but don’t.
  • You have exercised for a month or two, but never found a solution so that you could actually stick to it.
  • You are not looking for shortcuts like weight loss pills, or blackmailing yourself by buying an expensive gym membership and then guilting yourself to actually follow through.
  • You are on a downhill and really want to change, but don’t know how to make it happen.
  • You want step-by-step instructions that lead you to success. You don’t want to keep having to “figure it out” yourself, going from one failure to another. You want to follow proven strategies, so that you can stop wasting time.

As I said, if you answered yes to any of those questions, you should keep reading, because Exercise Bliss will be a game-changer for you.

Does LOOKING FORWARD to exercise seem IMPOSSIBLE?

You won’t be the first one to join the program and feel this way.

SOME STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT TIME…

I got in shape, without stressing my schedule!

I finally managed to fit exercise in my hectic grad student schedule, without even having to worry too much about it. EB helped me create an exercising habit while taking away the stress and the hassles related to adding more to one’s schedule. I have gotten in better shape and I love it!

– Eleana M., PhD Candidate, Exercise Bliss Graduate

SOME STOPPED FEELING OVERWHELMED…

I exercise because I want to!

It’s finally not overwhelming to think about exercising, it’s more like I really want to do it, it’s a promise with myself without guilt.

– Karen E., Manager, Exercise Bliss Graduate

OTHERS STOPPED FEELING GUILTY…

I no longer need to push myself to do it

I used to feel “fifty shades of guilt” about exercise. I was doing a lot of walking, but knew I needed to work out in some way, to get myself fully fit and in the best shape. I now do exercise in some form several times each week, without having to push myself; and free from guilt if I miss a day because I know I can rely on my habits to keep me on track.

– Steve S., Entrepreneur, Exercise Bliss Graduate

WHY EXERCISE BLISS WORKS

1Work out At Home With No Equipment

Too many options make us overwhelmed. In Exercise Bliss, you’ll get 5- to 16-min home workouts, so that you know exactly what to do, without having to leave the house and, e.g., spend an extra 30 min to go the gym and back.

2Make Exercise A Daily, Non-Negotiable Ritual

We help you build an exercise routine brick by brick. From when to do it, to what to do, we got your covered. Plus, our system keeps you accountable. Regular e-mails keep you on track.

3No More Sabotaging Your Own Efforts.

You skip a workout and feel like a loser. You worry about when results will come. All these thoughts only make you more likely to quit exercise. We’ll teach you specific tools so that you turn your mind from an enemy to your biggest supporter.

HERE’S WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EXERCISE BLISS BODY

This program is like nothing you’ve seen before.

It’s NOT like an annual gym membership that aims to lock you into paying month after month even if you don’t attent.

It’s NOT a set of vague promises and “tips” to create habit you can find for free on Google.

And it’s NOT a DVD you’ll buy, exercise for 2 days, then toss aside to “do again later.”

Instead, I’ve put together a step-by-step program to make getting healthy easy. You won’t be needing to force yourself to get off the couch, it’ll feel like the next logical step. And you’ll be doing it daily without whining, instead you’ll be feeling proud.

As Eva R., a previous Exercise Bliss grad, said “Exercise Bliss showed me how NOT to view this as a chore, but as a pleasure instead. That was eye-opening!”

If you’re ready to get healthy and never look back, here’s an overview of what’s included in the program:

  • 8-week Progressive Workout Plan: Workouts are carefully designed to help you go from beginner to medium/advanced in two months WHILE also helping your brain wire the exercise habit.
  • The Exercise Bliss Habit Recipe teaches you the 4 steps to successfully integrate exercise in your life. Using this recipe, exercise will go from chore to joy.
  • The 12-Week Exercise Bliss Habit Journal helps you track your progress, identify what works for you specifically, vs. what doesn’t. It’s 4 weeks longer than the workout plan so that they help you transition once you’re a “grad.”
  • 23 strategically created HD video workouts: Our workouts keep a fine balance between letting you enjoy moving your body and encouraging you to further work your muscles. They make sure you work all muscle groups within a given week.
  • 10-Week Accountability E-mails: You won’t ever be in doubt on what you’re supposed to do. Our e-mails will guide you step-by-step while also keeping you on track, even for two weeks after your original graduation.
  • Modifications: We show you multiple variations of popular exercises like the plank, the squat, and the push-up, to find the level that is right for you.
  • Safety: Workouts focus on safety telling you exactly what to watch out for to keep the proper form.
  • No Unnecessary Hassle: All exercises are body-weight, can be done at home, and need no equipment. All workouts are 5- to 16-minute long so that you won’t ever get pressed to “fit in” exercise.

Now let’s examine these one by one.

NOT JUST ANOTHER WORKOUT PROGRAM…

THE PROBLEM WITH HOME TREADMILLS, GYM MEMBERSHIPS + EXERCISE DVDS.

You may buy a treadmill, enroll at a gym, or get the fanciest workout DVD. But here’s the problem that will inevitably come up if you haven’t already made exercise a habit:

The DVD doesn’t tell YOU how to include it in your life.

It doesn’t tell you when it’ll be best for you to follow the workout. It doesn’t tell you what to do if you planned to work out this evening, but, hmm, life happened.

Instead the burden of including exercise in your life and following through, is all up to YOU.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In Exercise Bliss, we give you step-by-step, expert guidanceon how to make exercise a habit. You don’t have to figure it out – you only need to follow our instructions!

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT – YOU ONLY NEED TO FOLLOW THE HABIT RECIPE!

First, you’ll learn how to exercise daily for 5 minutes at a time.

At first this might sound easy. But is it really?

5 minutes a day might at first sound simple, but when you care about sticking to exercise for more than a month, you see that it’s not that simple after all.

When will you do it? When you wake up? When you come home from work?

And if you choose to do it when you wake up, do you mean right after you get out of bed, or say, after brush your teeth in the bathroom?

Also – what will you do? Will you do the same workout every day? A different one? What’s the best sequence?

Will your workout be on a piece of paper, will it be a video, and how does this change your habit? E.g., if it’s a video you may need your smartphone or tablet next to your bed so you can exercise right after you get out of bed.

But wait, will you wear workout clothes or do it in your pyjamas?

If you choose workout clothes you’ll need to either sleep in them, or wake up, get up, change clothes, and then work out.

So maybe you need your smartphone or tablet next to your closet instead of next to your bed.

I mean, imagine if you have to look for your smartphone, instead of just grabbing it from the top of your drawer and getting started. It’s a busy morning you need to get exercise done, you have no time to waste on “where’s my phone?” That’s why preparation is crucial.

Next, ok so you worked out. How do you know if your brain is actually wiring this habit or not?

I mean there are peopel who may exercise for 6 months, yet they give up. They didn’t make exercise a habit.

Others though wire the habit in a few weeks. They get started and never look back.

So why is one person’s brain busy wiring that habit, while the other one’s, even though she’s been exercising for 6 months, is still resisting?

You’ll learn what to do to make sure your brain is busy wiring that habit in the Exercise Bliss Habit Recipe.

Now let’s move on. What happens after you workout? Do you get dressed, go to the shower, eat breakfast? How exactly does working out fit in your morning routine?

Finally, do you start with 5 minutes a day 5 days a week, or will start slower, e.g., twice a week? What are the benefits of each decision?

If 5 minutes a day can be that complicated, no wonder so many of us have trouble sticking to exercise! But the good news is there’s a solution. As Steve Jobs said:

When you start looking at a problem and it seems really simple, you don’t really understand the complexity of the problem. Then you get into the problem, and you see that it’s really complicated, and you come up with all these convoluted solutions. That’s sort of the middle, and that’s where most people stop… But the really great person will keep on going and find the key, the underlying principle of the problem — and come up with an elegant, really beautiful solution that works.

That’s why in Exercise Bliss we give you the Habit Recipe. Using this recipe, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify the best days and times that work for you.
  • Take all the necessary steps beforehand so that you make exercising a no-brainer.
  • Choose a simple behavior to prompt your brain to wire the exercise habit and – btw – enjoy exercise more.
  • Identify your Plan B. Skipping workouts is not exactly allowed in Exercise Bliss. Hence you’ll have your own back-up plan, just in case things go awry. We’d never risk skipping workouts and lettting your exercise momentum go down.

THE EXERCISE BLISS HABIT-BUILDING 8-WEEK WORKOUT PLAN

No you won’t have to search on the web for workouts.

No you won’t have to decide what body parts to work on. You won’t have to worry about keeping the right form.

No you won’t have to try different techniques to see what works. From walking to running to lifting weights to TRX to yoga – what works best? I’ve tried more techniques than you can imagine.

It’ll all be done for you. In the course of the program you’ll get:

  • 23 beginner + non-beginner workouts in HD video.
  • All combed together in a progressive, habit-building workout plan that gets you lean and fit WHILE helping your brain wire the habit…
  • AND while also providing “a pool of” workouts so that you do have the option to switch workouts if you need to.

Yes, switching workouts depending on your specific needs is not frowned upon in Exercise Bliss – it’s encouraged. After all, this is about creating YOUR perfect workout plan, not about handing you a set of strict that you “have to” follow no matter what.

ANd yes, I won’t just throw the workouts at you. I’ll be giving you step-by-step instructions so that you know what videos to follows to make sure your brain is building that habit while you gradually improve your fitness level from beginner to fit!

Now let’s break down exactly the workouts you’ll be getting in Month 1 and in Month 2.

Month 1 Workout Plan:

BUILD THE HABIT 5-MINUTES A DAY – 5 DAYS A WEEK

Ideally, how many times a week would you like to exercise? Three? Four? Five? In the first four of weeks of the program our focus is exactly that: Getting to our ideal weekly frequence, 5 minutes at a time!

Each week you’ll be getting new 5-min bodyweight workouts. You’ll be tightening your body, while building the habit of exercise – all without risking overwhelm or intimidation.

  • imageFeel Your Core: Start Exercise Bliss gently by re-connecting with your core. Your abs and upper & lower back will thank you.
  • imageTighten your legs: Lie on the floor and start…lifting. This pilates inspired workout starts shaping up your legs from day 1!
  • imageWork Everything: Work literally every muscle of your body with this workout.
  • imageMix it up: Want to improve your balance? Or, maybe, shape up your arms? You are at the right place.
  • imagePush yourself up: After you experience how wonderfully push-ups shape your body, you will stop hating them. Promise.
  • imageStraighten Your Back: Get your heart rate up while working your abs. Then, take it easy while improving your posture.
  • imageFavorite Workout: What’s your favorite exercise? That’s what you’ll do here for the next 5 min.

  • imageNo Back Fat: Back fat right underneath your shoulders? Time to say good-bye…
  • imageGlutes Flow: Stretch your back and lift your butt. All included in this yoga-inspired workout.

Month 2 Workout Plan:

GO FROM 5 DAILY MINUTES, TO 10, 15, AND BEYOND!

Now that you got your weekly frequency down, it’s time to both increase the intensity and the duration.

You’ll find out that once you’re used to 5 minutes, going to 10, or 15 minutes is not a big deal. Plus, the workouts in this segment are no longer beginner level. Intensity goes up, and you’re getting stronger, leaner, healthier, happier!

  • imageBody Balance: This yoga-inspired 16-minutes High Intensity Interval Training workout will get you an hour’s results in 16 minutes!
  • image7-min Non-stop Amazing Results, Now: Now that’s both a cardio & a strength training workout. You’ll get amazing results.
  • image7-min Non-stop Lazy Floor Workout: Tired? Feel like lying down? Perfect. Great opportunity to work your legs.
  • image7-min Non-stop Total Body Workout: Tired? Feel like lying down? Perfect. Great opportunity to work your legs.
  • imageJumping Cardio Strength: This efficient High Intensity routine gets more done in 5 min than walking for 25 minutes!
  • imageC-position Abs: Get ready to seriously feel your abs with this workout. It’s quick but, oh, so effective!

  • imageLean Outer Thighs: Firm, tight hips? You got them with this workout.

6 more POWERFUL TOOLS for best results

THE 12-WEEK EXERCISE HABIT JOURNAL

Remember, you won’t simply get a list of workouts thrown at you. Let’s be honest — a shortage of workouts and workout options are not the reasons you don’t exercise. If you’ve ever bought a workout DVD or a treadmill or a gym membership, but couldn’t follow through, then you know this is not about knowing what type of exercise you should do.

You’ll use the Exercise Bliss Habit Journal to identify the best days and times that work for you. You’ll try different ways to integrate exercise into your life, and you’ll learn to identify what works for your individually vs. what doesn’t.

You’ll use the Journal to plan for each week, and then track what you did. Did you do what you said you’d do? If no, then why? You’ll learn from your experience and make a better plan the following week.

Since Exercise Bliss lasts 8 week, why 12 is the Journal good for 12 weeks? The reason is that we want to help transition after graduation. We want you to keep exercising, and once the program is over, we by no means want to risk your success.

That’s why the Journal is 4 weeks longer than the program, and that’s why E-mail guidance, the 2nd tool described below, lasts for 10 weeks. It’s all about a smooth transition.

THE 10-WEEK ACCOUNTABILITY E-MAILS

You won’t feel alone. You won’t ever be unsure of what to do. Exercise Bliss e-mails will keep you on track, and make sure they keep exercise top of mind.

Once you graduate, you will keep receiving accountability e-mails for 2 more weeks. This way you’ll have more time to adjust to your new life as an Exercise Bliss grad!

3 MODIFICATION VIDEOS TO ADJUST EXERCISE TO YOUR OWN FITNESS LEVEL

We’re all different. Some of us find ab-work easy, while other have strong legs. No matter your current fitness level, I’ll be giving you modifications so that you know how to adjust the exercises to your own fitness level.

We’ll deeply address plank, squat, and push-up variations.

DEFINE YOUR VISION AND CLEAR UP RESISTANCE

Do you feel like you “should” exercise? Does this should make you want to rebel against exercise, and never do it?

So yes, on the one hand you want to exercise, but on the other hand you hate that you “have to” do it. This conflict is actively opposing your efforts to get healthy and in shape.

We’ll clear this up in this HD video class.

Plus, sign up today and RECEIVE LIFETIME ACCESS!

The benefit? You get to take it with you. Whether you’re at a hotel, or visiting your parents, the only thing you need to do to work out is log in.

LIFETIME ACCESS GETS YOU COVERED – EVEN IF LIFE GETS BUSY!

Let’s make this clear. You won’t just keep access to Exercise Bliss website for a few months. It’ll be yours for as long as the program is “alive” on the market.

So unless I die, or some serious change of plans happens, you’ll be able to sign in and do your work out!

And just in case you were worried that life may get in the way and interrupt your progression in the program, well, worry no longer. With lifetime access, even when the 8 weeks are up and you’re officially a “graduate” of the program, you’ll still be able to log in and work out.

But there’s more!

Introducing: EXERCISE BLISS CLASSIC

DON’T LET YOUR INNER CRITIC CRASH YOUR DREAMS.

For those of you who want a deep understanding of how our brain codes habits and how to reframe our thinking so that we like exercise I know you’ll dig the Classic level material.

You see life is amazing at getting in our way. Just when you think you got the hang of exercise, you skip a workout. And then your mind starts playing tricks:

“What if I’m not cut out for this?”

“I didn’t believe I’d stick to it anyway”

“Nothing can help me, I’ll stay as I am for the rest of my life!”

Your mind is great at trashing your dreams. That’s where the Classic level comes to the rescue.

Week by week you’ll be getting new video material on the ins and outs of habits, goals, inner critic interventions and much more.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll be getting in the 6 Classic Members Modules:

MODULE #1: SET GOALS THAT WORK.

Learn how to set the right exercise goals each week – goals that actually encourage you to achieve them.

  • Why setting progressive goals is your best bet to get to your Vision.
  • Should you aim for 10 minutes of exercise or 40? The difference between big and small goals and why it matters.
  • How to use the Exercise Habit Journal to set weekly goals and track your progress.
  • Why the end-of-the-week review is so important in creating an exercise routine that fits your needs and preferences perfectly.

MODULE #2: BUILD THE HABIT.

In this module you’ll find all you need to know about how to create habits that stick – what makes your brain wire them, what stops your brain from wiring them, and how to accelerate the habit-making process.

The big benefit of making exercise a habit is that once exercise achieves habit-status exercise it becomes something that you just do, without really thinking about it. Think about brushing your teeth. You usually do it without even thinking about it, it’s just part of your routine. Even if you feel extremely sleepy, you’re still highly likely to find yourself brushing your teeth.

That’s why the people who for years have been exercising regularly, exercise religiously. Exercise has become 2nd nature. For them exercise is as simple as it is for you to put your seatbelt on as soon as you get in the car.

  • Why whipping yourself into shape interferes with the habit-making process.
  • How to create habits (and why joy is so important.)
  • What triggers are and how to use them to your advantage.
  • What happens when rewards conflict, e.g., you want to stay on the couch but also want to exercise and live healthy.
  • How to accelerate the habit-making process.

MODULE #3: FIND WHAT WORKS.

This week we’ll be addressing a common misconception that holds us back. I don’t know why but we make this mistake all the time.

We think we’re supposed to do something and get it right on the first try. I don’t know why we have these false expectations. What makes matters even worse is that when we try something and things don’t go according to our false expectations, we then blame ourselves for it.

Well in Exercise Bliss we know better! Let me get this straight – I don’t expect you to find the perfect way to apply the Exercise Bliss Habit Recipe, the perfect exercise and frequency of exercise in your first month. No, what I expect you to do is to experiment, try different things, and gradually discover what works, as well as what doesn’t.

So this week is all about learning how to experiment. This is supposed to be a fun process where you’ll learn all sort of different things about yourself.

  • Skipped a workout? Here’s how to diagnose what happened and discover what got in your way.
  • How to use this information to set better weekly goals. And…
  • So you’ve been exercising. But are you really progressing? How can you tell? Is it just about strength and what you see on the scale? In what other ways can you measure your progress?

You’ll also learn how to evaluate whether you’re really progressing, how to pick good anchors for your new habit, and how to increase the amount of exercise you do! Really how do you go from 5 minutes to 15 minutes, 30 or beyond?

  • Introducing the Stacking Method, or else how to go from 5 min of exercise to 10, 15, 30 and beyond.
  • So you’ve been following through with your workouts. How do you know you’re really progressing?

MODULE #4: REPROGRAM YOUR MIND.

Say you have the absolutely perfect workout plan in your hands. If you don’t do it, then the value of this plan is zero. You gain nothing from it.

And while having the wrong expectations is a major reason behind the fact that we don’t stick to exercise, negative feelings about exercise, as well as not knowing how to cope when things don’t go as planned (e.g., you skipped a workout and now you’re blaming yourself) are what push people to quit and give up.

This week you won’t just learn the 3 techniques to reframe your thinking so that you become like the people who look forward to exercise, you’ll also learn what to do on those bad days – when you feel like doing nothing and really don’t want to get off the couch.

  • How to change your natural reaction to exercise or to things not going as planned.
  • What beliefs are and why they matter. How they keep your momentum up.
  • The most common ways we distort the truth and lie to ourselves.
  • The 3 techniques to reframe your thinking so that you become like the people who look forward to exercise.

MODULE #5: EXERCISE Q&A.;

If you’re not sure what the most effective way to exercise is, wondering whether you can lose body fat from a specific body part, or not sure whether you should be exercising 15, 30, or 60 minutes, then this week’s material is for you.

  • What should you aim for? 10 min? 30 min? 60 min? How does this change depending on whether I want body definition or just to live healthy?
  • How can I get the fastest results?
  • Do I need to get sore to know that the workout is “working?”
  • Can I do the same workout on two consecutive days?
  • Can I lose belly fat only? What about thigh fat?
  • What if I feel stronger, and maybe seem slimmer, but the scale has stays the same? Why is that?
  • I’m spending hours on the treadmill but get no results. Why is that?

MODULE #6: WORK WITH YOUR INNER CRITIC.

By now you’ve learned all about creating habits, using the scientific method to review your progress and set better goals. You’ve been using your Habit Journal to track what you’re doing and stay focused. You’ve learned the techniques to reframe your thinking so that you don’t get in your own way.

So what is left, you may be wondering. Well, I’ll tell you what. This week’s material is perfect for the people who have double standards, have a “dictator” inner critic, and are too hard on themselves.

When person A completes a task they say “Good job!” and mean it! When they do the same task, they’re not as impressed. Similarly when person A screws up they’re not too strict. When they screw up they tear themselves apart.

These people often recognize they’re too hard on themselves, but they see this as high standards. So yes they see they have double standards but the rationalization is amazing. Who wants to have lower standards?

The problem is that such mentality will make you more likely to get disappointed at obstacles that may come your way (and they will come) and hence give up on exercise.

So this week you’ll learn how to both keep your high standards and get rid of double standards. We’ll also practice the Mind Reprogramming techbiques we’ve previously learned to get better at using them. After all, what good is it to learn a technique but not know how to put it in good use?

  • Why employing double-standards minimizes your chances of sticking to exercise while minimizing your chances of reaching your potential in mutliple sectors of your life.
  • How to deal with guilt for devoting time to yourself (and yes, that includes exercise).
  • How to review whether the way you see yourself is actually compatible with reality.

WHERE WILL YOU BE TWO, SIX, OR TWELVE MONTHS LATER?

WILL YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

I lost over 22 pounds + still exercising!

Before, I was not moving my body at all. Exercise Bliss taught me the value of small steps. It’s ok to only do something “ridiculously small”! Before I knew it, I’d do something small 7 days a week (even though you recommended only 5 days a week).

It’s been more than 3 months since I graduated and I’m still exercising consistently. I started going to the gym right after the program ended, and I still go 4 times a week. As a result, I’ve lost over 22 pounds. I could not be happier!

– Loukia G., Engineer, Exercise Bliss Graduate

WILL YOU FEEL MORE ENERGY?

I’m not tired, I’m not bored, and I want more!

Knowing that you can exercise, and not just exercise, but to actually enjoy it? That increases your self-confidence A LOT. I’m happier and feel more energized.

It’s still surprising to me, but I’m thinking that I actually can keep exercising and enjoying it forever. I’m not tired, I’m not bored, and I want more!

– Aida G., Business Coach, Exercise Bliss Graduate

WILL YOU INSPIRE YOUR KIDS TO LIVE HEALTHY TOO?

My 10-year old (overweight) daughter has started exercising too!

I think EB can help people in many different areas of their lives – any project that requires to form habits, to have a step by step approach. My daughter is 10 and very sedentary. She is also a bit overweight. Thanks to EB, I developed a practice for her when she is at the computer doing homework to, every ten minutes, go down the stairs and up once, then continue with homework. That helps her have better circulation, and be more active.

Seriously if my 65 year old mom can make it a habit
then SO CAN YOU!

My mom doing FULL push-ups for the 1st time at 65!

I look 10 years younger!

By exercising daily I’m stronger and have a lot more energy. Before Exercise Bliss I used to get tired after a few hours with my grandchildren. Now I can easily keep up with them (ages 4 & 2).

I also look 10 years younger. No-one can guess I’m 65. They all think I’m in my 50s. It’s a great self-confidence boost for any woman of my age to know that you look younger.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I chose between EB Body and EB Classic?

EB Body may be a better fit for you if any of these options describe you: You have a track record of following through, e.g., when you say you’ll do a task you’ll do it. You don’t have a history of self-sabotage (e.g., “I’ll never be able to do that”, “why am I even trying”, “at this pace it’ll take me FOREVER to get there”), and/or you already know about habits (e.g., the habit loop, rewards, why willpower doesn’t work, etc).

That said, you can upgrade (or downgrade) during your first 7 days (just e-mail me and I’ll make that happen). Once you’re out of the 7-day trial then you’re officially buying the EB option (Body or Classic) you chose at first. Since both trials cost the same ($5) I’d suggest signing up for Classic and downgrading if you think it won’t add value to you. Now if you’re 100% sure that you should not go for Classic, then of course sign up for Body.

Can I afford it?

Yes! Think about it: If you were to divide the EB Classic price by 365 and calculate how much you’d be investing every day to your health you’d get $1.64. That doesn’t sound like that much right? Don’t know if you’re a coffee drinker but that’s definitely less than most cups of coffee. With EB Body this number becomes just $0.82/day!

Now if you have credit card debt I see why this investment may not make sense for you right now. But if not, then at $1.6 or $0.82 per day I honestly don’t see an affordability issue.

The value becomes even more prominent when you factor the tremendous benefits of exercise (exercise is one of the most important things you can do not just to be in shape but to decrease your risk of many diseases (some types of cancer, diabetes, etc) and even live longer). You can’t get the full benefits of exercise if you don’t do it consistently (hence why the habit is so important).

Payment plans help make the investment to your health more affordable by spreading out the installments. Right now there’s a 12-month option. Want to create a custom payment plan? Contact us and we’ll work with you.

What if I go on vacation/business trip during the program?

The fact that you’ll be traveling while you’re going through the program is a good thing. Think about it: You’ll travel several times in the future. This is not an one-time thing. If you’re gonna build a habit and exercise for the rest of your life (we’re talking decades here!) you’ll need a plan for those weeks when you’re out of town. And the best time to formulate that plan is when you’re actually going through EB!!

I’m loving the fact that you’re thinking ahead and are already in the process of foreseeing potential obstacles. That’s actually something we do in Exercise Bliss each and every week (both in Body and in Classic)! It’s part of the program!

I have a few potential solutions already in mind, but it’s part of the EB method to help students scratch their own itch first before I jump in. So I say, come join the program, and if you keep thinking you won’t have a good solution for the out of town issue, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll help. E-mail support is also part of the program
