SHIFT SHOP Recipes
Welcome to the SHIFT SHOP!
Chris Downing’s breakthrough rapid-rebuild program has helped thousands of people of all fitness levels see maximum results in minimal time.
And now he’s bringing you four brand-new workouts to take the “shift” to a whole new level.
You’ll still use Chris’ breakthrough “ramp-up” method of increasing your daily workout by 10 minutes every week, but this time we’ve added a Prep Week and new workouts designed to test your speed and strength as you get faster and stronger.
The new SHIFT SHOP workouts are available on Beachbody On Demand.
SHIFT SHOP Nutrition
The SHIFT SHOP nutrition plan is an important part of achieving your best results.
The plan features a moderate calorie deficit and keeps things super clean, progressively eliminating grains, legumes, and some of the more decadent carbs.
By Week 3, you’ll be working hard on a protein-leaning, minimalist diet designed to keep you fueled and fit.
Here’s a look at some of the recipes available in the SHIFT SHOP recipe booklet that will make it easy for you to reach your goals.
Pro tip: Doing multiple rounds of the SHIFT SHOP? Double or triple recipes and freeze them so you’ll be all prepped for upcoming weeks.
