Teens & Tweens Shape Up

Shape Up is not a weight-loss program

It is a life plan and program for families to become more aware of the best choices for living a quality and healthy life by taking action for creating OVERALL SUCCESS. Is a system to help teach kids, parents, and mentors how to make better life choices to support physical growth, learning and life success in not only themselves, but their children as well. 

WellnessBod’s Mission

Success for people everywhere who need and want to improve their quality of life through healthy eating habits, proper exercise to support their physical goals and nutritional education! Kim’s mission is to provide a fun, realistic and effective program that is guaranteed to work if followed. 
What is involved in the 12 week program?

Eating Habits

Your body’s optimal functionality begins through good nutrition. We do not promote calorie restriction; we promote quality over quantity. This involves making the right food choices through following low-glycemic impact eating. You can identify foods that will give you energy, are good for your brain, great for your skin, and help you to maintain a healthy weight. 

Education

We have found that if people understand the what, why and how of a better lifestyle, they are more likely to follow it for life. Helping to develop self-awareness of how their bodies will react and how it will make them feel when they make certain food choices, engaging them in healthy activities and making plans for a future are keys for success.

DVD Series

Created for the 12 week lifestyle class to discuss how the body works, the importance of exercise, the benefits of goal setting, self-esteem issues, peer pressure challenges and more.

Journal/Workbook

Studies performed with adults showed that individuals who keep regular daily records and shared them with a coach were more than twice as likely to have success.

Coaching

Sometimes, having someone who listens and can be a guiding influence, can make all the difference, in keeping your head in the game.

A coach does a number of things and often people believe that success or failure is dependent on the coach. Yes, the coach can have an influence on the outcome of the “game”, but the coach does not play the game. The player must execute and if they do, the coach, player and the whole team looks good. 

Supplementation

For health, not necessarily weight loss.

The Shape Up program has helped countless teachers, guidance counselors, social workers, psychologists, and physical therapists, in carrying out their jobs with Middle and High School students. Please pay it forward. Let's make a difference in the lives of as many young people as we can, look and feel good in the process.

What Makes the Shape Up Program Unique?

Today, approximately nine million children over six years of age are considered obese, and 54 percent of American children say they are concerned about their weight. Today’s youth face more pressures and influences than ever before. Those burdens carry tremendous weight – both emotional and physical.

Shape Up is designed with kids, for kids. The program teaches goal setting and planning skills while instructing kids the fundamentals of good nutrition and exercise. It helps not just kids, but families understand that their decisions today will affect them tomorrow. Shape Up is a commitment to a healthier life. With that in mind, the Shape Up program has been designed to provide your child with the tools he or she needs to not just lose weight, but make conscious decisions regarding their overall health.

The Shape Up program helps provide the education and motivation to be successful on the program by taking your child through the 12-week program, and offering guidance and support each step of the way. The included materials will help to answer questions you and your child may have about the program and weight loss in general, while also providing needed guidance and assurances that is critical in the process of change. Each piece helps cover topics and issues that you will come across through your journey, including: how to make healthier food choices; how to modify unhealthy behaviors; why your body responds the way it does during activity and exercise; and how building a positive self-image can help you reach your personal goals.

The Shape Up program offers nutritional supplements specifically chosen to help your child gain valuable nutrients through the program. Some examples may be, nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Multivitamin Plus helps ensure optimal intake of vitamins and minerals for growing bodies. nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes promotes normal absorption of nutrients and digestion of foods.*

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there 2 Shape Up Journals, A & B?

The Shape Up program was designed as a 12-week program. Journal A provides the materials for weeks 1-6, while Journal B provides the same for weeks 7-12.

Why should I use Shape Up instead of another weight loss program?

Shape Up has been designed with kids, for kids. While other weight management programs might include some of the core principles outlined in Shape Up, this program is specifically designed for children between the ages of 10-17.

Is the Shape Up program a diet?

No! A “diet” is a short-term course of action designed specifically to lose weight. It’s a band-aid to the overall problem of being overweight. Shape Up, on the other hand, is designed to teach healthy lifestyle habits so that diets aren’t necessary.

Who should use Shape Up?

Shape Up is designed to address the specific needs and concerns of the 10-17 age range, teaching them how to take charge of their lives and bodies. Shape Up isn’t just for overweight children looking to lose weight. The goals of the program – to build a positive self-image, to strive for and achieve personal goals, to eat a proper, balanced diet – are lessons every child can benefit from learning.

Do I have to buy special meals or supplements to make Shape Up work?

No. However, you do have the option to purchase the appropriate nutritional supplements for your child. The goal of the program is to teach healthy lifestyle habits that are separate from the use of special meals and supplementation. We have found that the TLS entrees and snacks help people through the first few weeks of the program as they are learning what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.*

How do you get families involved in Shape Up?

The Shape Up program includes information exclusively for parents and/or guardians to help them learn ways to encourage and improve their child’s rate of success. One of the goals of Shape Up is to help families learn better, healthier ways to live through proper nutrition and regimented exercise. Children who have active family involvement in the program are more likely to see positive results.
