Fitness Update: An Introduction to #MBF and #MBFA
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen posts about MBF and MBFA in my stories. If you haven’t heard of MBF, it stands for Muscle Burns Fat, a three-week program developed by Beach Body Super Trainer Meghan Davies committed to helping boost metabolism, burn fat, and build strength. The program's second iteration is a more advanced program called Muscle Burns Fat Advanced, an additional three weeks that turns it up a notch.
I stumbled upon this program after being targeted by multiple Instagram and Facebook ads. I was intrigued because the program focused on strength training. I then ended up doing some research to see what results people experienced in the program by searching #mbf and #mbfa on Instagram. After spending a few minutes on Instagram, I was inspired by the fantastic success stories people shared about their experience after completing this program. Just head to Instagram and do a quick search for yourself.
If you’re not inspired or motivated to sign up for the next round of MBF after seeing these incredible transformations on Instagram and hearing about my experience, I don’t really know what else to tell you. If you are interested in learning more, I’m sharing a little more info about my experience and how you can join me on my next round.
About the Muscle Burns Fat
#MBF and #MBFA are both three-week workout out programs that include a combination of strength training and cardio to help you torch calories and build lean muscle.
Each day promises a new workout. You’ll never complete the same exercise twice. Each day includes heavy lifting and asymmetrical training. The exercises span from 25-45 minutes, with bonus challenges to help achieve maximum results. I love that this program is set to music to keeps you moving throughout the workout. Anyone can do this workout program. There is also a modified version for beginners.

My Experience Completing Muscle Burns Fat
I’m an athlete by nature and love a good challenge. When I saw the results of I said, sign me up. 42 days 42 workouts. No rest days. I don’t think I’ve worked out this much since I was a gymnast in high school. Today is my 31 day in this program and I’m at Day 10 of #MBFA. My testimony is that I’m down inches and pounds. But regardless of what the scale says, I’m stronger and more confident than I was five weeks ago. I’ve never felt better and I’ve seen fantastic changes in my body. I have muscle tone in places I hadn’t before. Let’s just say I’m loving MBF and plan to complete another round after I’m done with this one.

How to achieve success on MBF and MBFA
1. Start your day with a workout. When I start my day with exercise, I feel more productive and accomplished throughout the day. Working out is also a mood booster. I notice a significant change in my mood for the day on the mornings when I work out.
2. Drink plenty of water. The golden rule for seeing results is to drink half your body weight in water. For example, if you weigh 140 pounds divide your eight in half and consume 70 oz of water daily.
3. Track your progress and share your results. Take a photo of yourself at the beginning of the journey, in the middle, and upon completing the program. Give yourself a round of applause for every scale and non-scale victory. Also, share your results with friends and family. I am surprised how many people have stood behind me and are cheering me on during this journey.
4. Create a playlist to get you amped up. There’s something about music that pumps me up to workout. I created a workout playlist with my favorite songs that I love to jam to before working out. Follow my playlist on Spotify.
5. Be mindful of your nutrition. You know the age-old saying that abs are made in the kitchen. Well, it’s true. Working out is important but being mindful of what you eat is also key.
6. Focus on how you feel, not the number on the scale. This is something I had to learn throughout this program. I was tempted to look at the scale to see if the number dropped or rose at the beginning but then I realized I felt good in my own skin for the first time in a long time and that matters the most.
