Tai Cheng® Challenge Group Guide

Week 0 (Leading up to Day 1)

Day of Week Topic Facebook Posts (Copy and Paste)

Day 1 Get Started Tip Open your Tai Cheng program, review the materials, and be sure to:

- Watch Dr. Cheng's introduction on the Master Scroll DVD

- Take the Function Test and record a video of it if you can so that you can track

your progress.

- Read the Easy Does It Guidebook

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Tai Cheng comes with a fantastic Feel Better Food Plan filled with recipes, tips,

and a formula to help you determine your caloric needs. Please follow the plan

as closely as possible—the better your nutrition, the better your results. Your

goal in the next 90 days is to eat healthy, learn about balanced nutrition, and

feed your body what it needs to get the most out of the Tai Cheng workouts.

You can also access more recipes on Team Beachbody®

(http://www.teambeachbody.com/eat-smart/recipes).

Day 3 Get Started Tip Clear the cupboards, pantry, fridge, etc. of all unhealthy foods. If it's not aligned

with your goals—toss it! Now is the time to go shopping, so you have all those

healthy foods available in your kitchen, and you can prepare recipes from the

Feel Better Food Plan.

Day 4 Fitness Tip Make sure you are ready to get started on Day 1.

- Follow instructions on the Master Scroll DVD to set up your Calibration Grid.

- Prepare an area near your TV/DVD player that accommodates about 6 feet of

space to perform the workout moves.

- Get some comfortable clothing that allows for generous movement.

Day 1 Video Check out Dr. Cheng's message for Week 1! http://youtu.be/-QGl_J5U6FE

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Hydration, hydration, hydration! Water helps curb hunger. Dr. Cheng suggests

drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. Not only will water

keep you hydrated and quench thirst, it will ease your hunger.

Day 3 Fitness Tip You may be feeling sore since it is week 1 so do a nice healthy stretch after your

workout. You could do another 5 to 10 minutes of the Neural Reboot.

Day 4 Shakeology What benefits have you noticed in your first week of drinking Shakeology®?

Fun Fact: Instead of going to a juice chain and getting a wheat grass shot for $3, just

drink Shakeology . . . it's already in there. Even better, the wheat grass used in

Shakeology is harvested in a very immature stage (freshly sprouted) so it's gluten

free!

Recipe: Chocolate Banana Nutter

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology - 1 Tbsp. natural peanut butter

- 1 banana - 1 cup water

Day 5 Weekly

Motivation

This is an exciting time. You are about to make big changes in your life. Start paying

attention to your sleep pattern and see if it changes. You may even want to write it

down and put it on your fridge next to your goals!

Day 6 Check-in

Awesome job on completing Week 1! You should be so proud of yourself for getting

through this week . . . I know it wasn't easy.

What is your "Why"? Anyone willing to share what kept you going this week?

Day 7 Answer

Questions

Today is your rest day. No workouts today—be sure to rest your body. Get outside or

enjoy time with friends and family, but don't do a strenuous workout on your rest day.

This is the time your body needs to rest and recover for next week. Pushing hard

every day could lead to injury or pain.

Day 1 Video Watch what Dr. Cheng has to say as we start Week 2! http://youtu.be/ACpwvuqLpvo

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Try to eat 5 times per day—3 meals and 2 snacks—each with roughly the same

amount of calories. It keeps your blood sugar stable instead of peaking and crashing,

which can lead to overeating and a general poor feeling.

Day 3 Fitness Tip This is your first week with the Combination moves. They may be tricky so make

sure you take the time you need to master them before you move on.

Day 4 Weekly

Motivation

Have fun with your Tai Cheng Calendar and check off each day as you go along. It's

a fun way to chart your progress and keep you motivated.

Day 5 Shakeology Where do you drink your Shakeology®? In your kitchen, car, the office?

Fun Fact: Need more energy all day? Try drinking Shakeology for breakfast. It sets

the tone for the rest of the day. Getting the right amount of protein and nutrients first

thing in the morning provides steady energy all day and (bonus!) will help reduce

afternoon cravings.

Recipe: Espresso Cinnamon

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology - 1 shot chilled espresso or coffee

- Add water to taste - 1 tsp. cinnamon

- 1 tsp. coconut oil

Day 6 Check-in

Week 2 is done! I know you are feeling sore and tired! It is totally normal and this

means you are making progress. If you need a little help pushing through your

workouts, check out Cordastra: http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-

increase your energy and stamina. Try this exclusive potent blend of ancient

Chinese herbs, astragalus, and cordyceps.

fresh meats, whole fruit, vegetables, and seeds.

Day 3 Fitness Tip This is your first week with a sequence. If you have to do it several times, go for it

until you get. Stick with it, it will get easier!

Day 4 Engagement

Question Are you seeing any changes in the way you can perform daily activities yet?

Day 5 Shakeology What meal do you replace with Shakeology? You can also drink it as your snack

replacement if you don't want to use it as a meal replacement.

Day 1 Video Check out this week's video from Dr. Cheng! http://youtu.be/KA8I6bYndCw

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Timing your preworkout nutrition is important. Try eating a very small meal about

two hours before exercising. Exercising immediately after eating will lead to a lack

of energy for your workout as your body is focused on digestion.

Day 3 Weekly

Motivation Dr. Cheng says: Tai Chi has a learning curve, and the faster you apply your

energies towards the most important, most crucial points in the system, the faster

you progress. Here are the "Ten Commandments" of Tai Chi, as taught to me by

one of my teachers, the late Master Vincent Hwang:

1. Clear your mind and let your neck stack vertically.

2. Both eyes look straight forward.

3. Don't push the jaw forward or upward.

4. Let the tip of your tongue rest gently on the juncture of the upper palate and the

front teeth.

5. Pull the upper chest open vertically and let the back align so that the vertebrae

are stacked vertically.

6. Let the shoulders sink and drop the elbows.

7. Relax the lower back and let the hips "sit" downward rather than backward.

8. Roll the tailbone forward so that the belt line is horizontal when viewed from the

side.

9. Unlock the knees and pry them outward slightly.

10. Both feet start from parallel, but later stay in vertical alignment with the knees.

Day 4 Engagement

Question How are you sticking with the Feel Better Food Plan? Are you taking a journal of

what you are eating?

Day 2 Check-in, Pictures, and Measurements

Today is Day 30 and it's time to take those measurements and photos. Some of

you may start seeing those early results. Measuring is key—if you are only

looking at a number on a scale and aren't seeing it move as much as you want,

don't be discouraged. This is why you measure your body. Like this post once

you’ve taken your measurements and photos.

Day 3 Fitness Tip Today is the start of Phase 2! This is a good time to make sure you are sticking

to the fundamentals. Make sure you are paying attention to foot placement on

the calibration grid to get the most out of your Tai Chi practice.

Day 4 Nutrition Tip In this week's video, Dr. Cheng mentioned Results and Recovery Formula® to

help with soreness. Has anyone tried it? http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-

Day 5 Shakeology Has Shakeology increased your energy levels and helped you Push Play?

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Learning how many calories are in your food is very important. It can help you make

better decisions about what you eat. It's also helpful to know how many calories you

burn through exercise. Because when you realize that you'd have to exercise for 2

hours to burn off that one splurge, it will make you think twice about eating it in the

first place.

Day 3 Fitness Tip Dr. Cheng on Meditation: "The human mind is no different than a jar of muddy pond

water. When disturbed, the water is murky, much like how our minds respond to

stressors or agitation. Short of opening the jar & pouring all the water out (much like

a lobotomy), the easiest way of clearing our minds and cleaning our thought

processes is to let the 'jar' sit still, undisturbed for a while. As the jar sits still, the

sediment and debris naturally settle to the bottom of the jar, allowing the light to

shine through the unclouded water.

As you learn to be still, to allow the confusing cloud of thoughts and stresses to settle

down, to see how much you actually irritate your own nervous system, and to control

your body's perception of time, you're going to see a major improvement in your

mental and physical state as you go through your daily life. THAT is the essence of

high performance."

stress levels.

Day 1 Video Take a look at tips from Dr. Cheng as we start week 7! http://youtu.be/ULkjN9K_s2U

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Remember, eating better also includes what you drink. Avoid the empty calories in

juice, soda, and alcohol. Replace juice with whole fruit, including the skin for fiber

and vitamins. Avoid soda, including diet sodas, as a single can will spike your blood

sugar, and your body cannot differentiate between regular and artificial sweeteners.

And alcohol not only affects blood sugar and sleep patterns, but can alter hormone

levels, leading to a decrease in fat loss. Your best bet is always water, and drinking

it continually throughout the day will keep you hydrated for your workouts. Click

"like" if you've cut out soda and alcohol.

Day 3 Fitness Tip Don't forget to use your foam roller if you are feeling sore. It is an incredible tool.

It's like a deep tissue massage at your fingertips! You can also try the

RumbleRoller® for an even deeper massage. http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Don't get in a position where your only option is a cheat meal—be sure on your off

That way, when you go to school or work throughout the week, your food is ready

to go and you always have healthy options.

Day 2 Nutrition Tip Have balance! Allow yourself a higher-calorie day once in a while. Don't go

crazy, but allow yourself to eat a little more of something you've been craving.

That way, you won't feel so restricted. Have a taste instead of eating the whole

treat—or make smart substitutions. Instead of Fritos®, have some edamame.

Or trade a bowl of ice cream for an ice milk fudge bar.

Day 3 Fitness Tip So what's next? We are almost done with the program, what are you going to

do to keep it up starting next week?

If you are looking to continue this journey to get healthier and even more fit,

you can do another round of Tai Cheng or even step up to the Tai Cheng

Master Kit (http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TaiChengMaster) and

do another 90 days or just the last 30 days with the Deluxe workouts.

You can also try Dr. Cheng's Body Alignment:

(http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/TaiCheBdyAlgn) which

is a high-intensity, low-impact 16-minute workout and requires no equipment.

Whatever it is, do something you enjoy! You'll be more likely to stay

consistent.

Day 4 Check-in What lifestyle changes, whether it's fitness or nutrition, are you going to keep

going forward? Which new ones do you want to incorporate?
