The Science behind the C9

2021. The start of a brand-new year, and let’s face it, after last year who doesn’t want to make a strong and positive start to the New Year? January is the time for a fresh start, a clean slate and a recommitment to our goals, so with that in mind, some of us here at Head Office have decided to give ourselves a kickstart to getting fit and healthy in 2021 with our Head UK Office C9 Challenge.

From 11th January, join Amelia along with Rachel, Lorraine and Vanessa, as we navigate through the program, and watch our vlogs as we share our (honest) experiences with you.

But what is the C9 and why does it work?

This nine-day program includes advanced nutrition and exercise routines to help you succeed and reach your personal best on your terms. Typically, it can take up to three weeks to break out of a habit, so the C9 is designed to help adjust your mindset and get your nutrition on track so you can challenge yourself to really look and feel better, and develop long-term habits that will help you to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

The C9 is not just a nine-day program. It is a reset for your body to help you develop healthy habits that you can take forward after the program has finished. Think about what you want to achieve with this program, and set yourself goals which you can tick off as you progress through. Remember, set your goals for YOU.

To support you with your reset and help you make the most out of your routine, you need a strong nutritional foundation, and this program is specifically designed to fuel your body, alongside helping you to alter and develop your mindset to conquer cravings and stay committed to your goals. Five products make up the foundation of this program, and each one is designed to provide supplemented support:

The first two days are challenging, but immensely rewarding. Kickstart the process of eliminating stored toxins and preparing your body for the next stage of the program. You’ll replace some of your meals with a Forever Lite Ultra shake and have a list of healthy free foods to choose from to help manage cravings between meals.

On days three through to nine, you’ll really start building your progress to help you feel stronger and healthier. This is when healthy, balanced meals and light exercise are introduced to the program.

After day nine, you will not only feel renewed, but have the tools you need to keep pushing forward. The C9 program has everything you need to jumpstart your journey. From delicious, healthy recipes to exercises and supplement schedules, you’ll have all the tools you need to track your progress and stay motivated.

So, whether you are looking to kickstart your fitness journey, or simply challenge yourself to breaking bad habits, setting goals that are personal to you will really help with your progress and motivation. No matter what your achievement - whether you’re increasing the amount of fruit and veg you eat, or conquering that workout that you didn’t think you could - every goal you achieve is a success.
