7-Day Get Lean Program

Feel fitter this week with these recipes & workouts.

Hi, there! Yes, you. Why are you just sitting there? Not sure how to get started on a diet and fitness routine? This 7-day get lean program gives you a concrete plan. With a week’s worth of fitness routines and menus, we’ve taken the guesswork out of getting started!

This program offers two keys to making positive changes. The first is a series of regular workouts, which will burn calories and build the lean muscle mass that boosts metabolism. The second key is healthy eating. Our recipes are clean eating, which means they focus on natural ingredients with zero or few additives. As a result, your body receives the nutrition it needs without excess fat, sugar, sodium, or additives. Learn more in 10 Clean Eating Tips – Do’s and Don’ts.

There is a third key—and that’s you! Change can be hard, but you deserve to feel good about your body. Commit right now to completing this full week of exercise and healthy eating.
