P90X3 Review. Participate in Exclusive Test Group

So Thanksgiving is over, and you may or may not have stayed on track but that doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel and just fall off the wagon completely! There's NO reason to sit around feeling sorry for yourself and continuing to eat yourself silly! Nope! It's time to stand up, dust yourself off and get right back on track!

And just in the nick of time Beachbody will be releasing P90X3 on Tuesday December 10th!! Are you a P90X graduate? What about a P90X drop out? Either way the new P90X3 is perfect for EVERYONE!!
All good things come in threes, but be warned: P90X3 is far from a trilogy. No, P90X3 is NOT the kid sister workout. It’s the workout that took notes from it’s siblings, then condensed, and accelerated to become the most dynamic and fastest workout yet.

So what's it all about? I'm SO glad you asked!! Let's check it out...
The ultimate excuse buster
Time is the biggest excuse. P90X3 solves that. Every workout is 30 minutes and the clock starts the minute you push play. Before you can say “drop and give me 10,” it’s over and you are one workout closer to the six-pack of your dreams. 

Muscle acceleration explained
Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

Along with the constant entertainment of Tony Horton's one liners, P90X3 has the most workouts of any Beachbody program. With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone!!
The ideal P90X3-er
It may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.) As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!” 

It doesn’t stop there
And of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through ME as your Coach any time from December 10^th – 31^st (including Challenge Packs), the customer receives an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?

And last but not least, we have the app: Yes, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS (will be available 12/10 on Android) The app includes P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition – which brings you workout specific tracking modules, scheduling options and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for Android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

So when can you get it?

You can score your very own P90X3 on December 10th.  P90X3 will be released on my site in which you have a couple of options.  There will be an introductory price of $180 vs $205 for the Challenge Pack which includes the 90 day workout, the nutrition guide, program manual, schedule of workouts, shakeology, free 30 day trial of the club membership, free shipping and a discounted price when you get the package. 

Or your second option is to purchase the program alone.  That is $119.00, and the equipment needed are weights, bands and an optional pull up bar but you can use a band with an over the door attachment if you don't have one!  I did my whole first round of P90X with the bands and got amazing results.

If you would like to be notified when you can officially purchase the workout please go to my site and create a FREE account and you will receive an email from me the minute that it's released!  You won't want to wait, this is going to go fast!

It's important to know that this is not a graduate program.  That means you do not have to have done P90X or P90X2 in order to do this workout!  There are also great modifications so no matter what your ability level you can do this workout! Check out these results from the test group! 39 out of 40 people in the Test group lost 10% of their body fat %!!!!! (Whoa! How awesome is that?!)

X3 Schedule Choices
* CLASSIC – Traditional balance of cardio and resistance, will help you gain muscle and lose fat
* LEAN – Designed for those who prefer a more toned look, where you’ll target functionality, mobility and cardio over resistance training
* MASS – For those looking for bulk over getting ripped, you will focus on more resistance training, while incorporating a higher caloric intake into your diet
* DOUBLES – As Tony would say, this schedule is for workout “psychos” who have the ability to push through two workouts per day

So you have decided to do an Exclusive P90X3 test group!  I am only accepting a select number of individuals who would like to get my support, motivation and accountability to start and finish this program.  The point is to get in the best shape of your life in 90 days!!!  I will walk you through every single step of the program using the nutrition guide, the workouts and the 24/7 support of me as your coach in a private closed group.  I will teach you how to meal plan, prep, and set yourself up for success!  This group will begin on December 30th, 2013 and will run for 90 days.  Just in time for your new years resolution!!!  Start the new year in the very best shape of your life.

Send me a friend request on Facebook and fill out the application today to be considered for a spot in the test group.

Registration closes on December 20th 2013.

T25 Week 1 Progress with Meal Plan

Officially back on track and feeling great!! I restarted T25 after my move now that I'm all settled in and I am following the Eat Clean Diet Stripped meal plan along with it. My original plan was to also combine Chalean Extreme in this week with T25 but when I went to get my weights ready last Sunday night I found out that they were stuck and I cant get them out of the base. But I didn't let that throw me off track. I just moved forward with T25 and my clean eating until I can get them fixed!

I am feeling more comfortable with the moves and I feel that by focusing on them and perfecting my form that I will get results faster than just "going through the motions" which I found myself doing sometimes. I've really had to have some conversations in my own head while working out. Checking myself when I KNOW I'm half assin the moves. When Shaun T says SPRINT I have to say "Melinda is this a sprint or a JOG, STEP IT UP!" I have very limited time to work out before my son wakes up and my day gets busy with mom duties, play dates, coaching  etc so I dont have time to give it anything less than 100% effort!

At the end of the week something funny happened...well lets just say that I found it anything BUT funny but I still want to share. I started AND ended this week at the same EXACT weight of 151.5 and I lost 1 inch around my waist. I was BUMMED...I crushed my workouts, I followed my meal plan, drank a gallon of water a day, drank my Shakeology etc, so what happened? Well here's what I think. First it was "that time", ladies you know what I'm talking about. So I'm going to take that into consideration. But I also think that I might be at a plateau. I have lost and maintained a 45 pound weight loss from last year and I think its time to change things up a bit. I know that my body responds well to lifting heavy weights so that's where I'll be making some changes this week and going forward. My weights should be repaired today and I will be doing Chalean Extreme 3 days a week and T25 3 days a week. I enjoy the cardio but that's not going to deliver the muscle definition that I'm looking for and lets face it, building muscle helps you burn more calories so its a win-win!! Since this new plan is just a trial, no scientific proof it will work lol, I am looking forward to reporting back to let you know how it goes!!

Here is the meal plan I used for week one following Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Stripped book!!

I'm looking forward to the next 7 weeks of the year to see where my journey takes me. Eating clean (following the stripped plan specifically) has left me feeling full of energy, less bloated, feeling and looking lean and able to get into jeans comfortably with no muffin top!! HECK YA!!

If you you are interested in learning more about clean eating, Shakeology or working out I'd love to chat and help you get on the right track! Friend me on Facebook and shoot me a message saying that you saw this blog post and want more info!!

Hip Hop Abs 6 Day Slim Down - Day 6 and Final Review

I did it!! I finished the Hip Hop Abs 6 Day Slim Down and I feel great! This program has been a nice change from my more intense workouts like T25, TurboFire and Insanity but still provided me a great sweat session and great results!!

I walked out to the garage this morning with butterflies in my tummy. I had worked so hard to stay on the plan, working out every day and following the meal plan to a T. I did allow for one cheat meal, but even then I found myself being much more aware of what I was eating and starting asking myself did I REALLY want that or did it just look good at that moment. Was it going to be worth the possibility of feeling sluggish and bloated, was it going to be worth it to see the scale go up and my hard work go out the window? Nope!!

So I am officially down 2.8 pounds!! I have not seen 151 on the scale in quite some time. But mark my words it's only going DOWN from here. I am 100% committed to continuing this journey and continuing to get results no matter what life throws at me. We can't just "check out" when the going gets tough. That's the time to rise and SHINE!! I do want to throw out this disclaimer...I am not a slave to the scale, I used to be, but I now know that progress is shown in many more areas than just the scale. Such as inches lost and clothes fitting looser. I typically weigh in once a week or every two weeks to make sure I'm on track, otherwise I go a little coo-coo looking every day.

Today's workout was Fat Burning Cardio. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Shaun T's got jokes!! I'm not sure if I got a better ab workout from the routine or from laughing at his silly ways and comments. I love that guy!!

Such a big part of weight loss comes from the food we eat. Sure we need to work out to burn calories and grow our muscles, but if you finish your workout and head to the drive through or happy hour and order a serving of loaded cheese fries, it doesnt really matter that you just burned 300 calories. In fact you may even be packing MORE calories back on than you just worked an hour to get off. I encourage each and every one of you reading this today to really take a look at how you are fueling your body. Are you living to eat or eating to live? I used to live to eat...I had no idea that a 100 calorie pack of cookies wasnt good for me. I thought "ok 100 calories, great I still have 1100 left for the day" but what I didnt know was that those 100 pack cookies were going to set me up for failure. They dont NOURISH my body, there is no nutritional value to them. So I'm left feeling hungry almost immediately after. Not to mention there are like 7 tiny little things in there anyways. I've now learned that its not about the calorie restriction its about eating WHOLE FOODS to provide my body with nutrition and make me feel fuller longer. Now a snack looks something like an apple and a cheese stick. Sure its closer to 200 calories but by pairing a carb (apple) and a protein (cheese stick) my body can feel fuller longer and I wont keep grabbing for junk that I think I need.

And that's what I really loved about this meal plan. The 6 Day Slim Down provided meals and snacks that were well rounded and kept me satisfied until the next meal.

So all in all I'm very glad that I did this 6 Day Sim Down. I was able to experience a GREAT program with Hip Hop Abs and I cant speak highly enough about the way that Beachbody has combined this great workout with awesome recipes

Hip Hop Abs 6 Day Slim Down Day 4

Soooo remember yesterday when I told you that I was up a pound, but that I totally wasn't worried??? Well that's because I wasn't and because I KNEW it was working. I didn't throw in the towel, I didn't say "forget this, I'm up a pound let's go eat Oreos". I did my workout, I ate according to the plan, I drank lots of water annnnndddd.....I lost weight!! I am officially down 2 pounds now!! You have to believe me when I say have faith in the process...have faith that Beachbody knows what they're doing when they design these programs and give it 100% effort. You WILL get results!! And I'm eating a LOT of food. There is no starvation and all of the workouts are 45 minutes or less!

Today's workout is Total Body Burn again. I really loved this one because it incorporated weights (my favorite) and it had me sweating in the first 15 minutes. But the best part is that you're dancing!! There's nothing about this program that feels like a "workout". Check out my video from Wednesday to see a few of the moves.

Today I do notice that I was hungrier than normal but that's a good sign. It means that my metabolism is reving up and working faster! I'm really liking the meal plan still. Simple, everyday foods that most of us already have in our house, with easy to prepare recipes. This busy mama doesn't have time for long workouts or super intense dinners that require lots of preparation.
Breakfast - Chocolate Delight
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1 cup water, coconut water or almond milk
Ice & blend

AM Snack - Turkey Roll Up
5 oz roasted deli turkey breast
1 oz low-fat Swiss cheese slices
1 Tbsp mustard (yellow, whole grain or Dijon)

Layer and roll together, then munch away!

Lunch - Rockin Salad
1 cup romaine lettuce
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup corn
1 tbsp sliced olives
1/4 cucumber sliced
2 tbsp chopped sweet onion
1-2 Tbsp balsamic vinaigrette
4oz sliced lean meat of your choice

Toss the ingredients together and dig in!

PM Snack - Go Nuts
15-20 raw almonds or walnut halves

Dinner - Steak-Veg Throwdown
4 oz lean beef steak (hanger, skirt or sirloin)
1 tbsp chopped fresh garlic
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
Cooking spray
1 cup asparagus pieces
1/2 cup carrots
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Preheat grill or grill pan. Place steak in a plastic storage bag, add garlic, vinegar, and oil and marinate. Lightly mist trill surface with cooking spray and cook steak approximately 5 minutes per side or to desired doneness. Steam asparagus and carrots and serve with steak.

I'm getting excited that I'm on the home stretch of this plan. Two more days and feeling great! Do you feel like you need something to get you back on track? Give you a little boost before you take it to the next level in your life? I'd love to chat and see how I can help you. Find me on Facebook.

Invest in Your Health

When you decide to take control of your health, start eating healthy, start getting active, reducing stress in your life and finding something to believe in you will want to make sure every bit of your hard-earned time and money make a dent in your goals right? ABSOLUTELY!! You've made up your mind, set your sights high and there's no turning back now!! So how are you going to do that? What's going to make this time different from the last time you were ready to "make a change"? Well let me tell you! THIS time you're going to have a plan, you're going to invest in your future and you're going to set yourself up for success!!

Let's start with eating healthy...

We live in a society that is BOMBARDED with food. There's a Starbucks on every corner, fast food next to every school, playground and library, billboards flashing the newest $6 Burger from Carl's Jr. It's EVERYWHERE!! These businesses are strategically placed as they know in our fast-paced society we need to grab a quick meal and run to the next activity.  They even have us believing that if it's "grilled chicken" it MUST be healthy! WRONG...it may be a healthier option than say a Big Mac but it's loaded with sodium, carbs and not much nutritional value at all!! And literally, at what cost, are we willing to keep doing this to ourselves? Starbucks coffee ranges from $4-$7+, Fast food value meals are $6+, heck even a chicken salad is $5. But it's QUALITY that is lacking in these foods. You are NOT investing in your health when you visit these chains I promise you that! So what can you do about it?

There are several things you can do about it! The first thing is to PLAN YOUR MEALS. I can't stress this enough!!! If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. It's as simple as that! You've decided to invest in your health and that will require a little foot work on your part. No I'm not talking working out...that's coming next. I'm talking about a little thought, planning and preparation!!

You need to set aside some time for yourself on Sunday morning (or whichever day works best for you) and think about the week ahead of you and do some meal planning. Do you have after school sports? Book club? Boy Scouts? Date night? Now take out your blank meal planning template and jot them down. Next plan which meal you will be replacing with Shakeology so you KNOW you're getting the healthiest meal of the day and you don't even have to think about it. Jot that down and list any ingredients you'll be adding to your shake. Next plan the rest of the meals and snacks. If you know your family gets bored easily with left overs try a new dish or two each week, but don't overwhelm yourself. This new chapter in your life is supposed to be reducing stress too!! Rotate in some family favorites with some new recipes and remember left-overs make great lunches the next day!

Now that you've got your meals planned out, create a shopping list and hit the store! Another great way to invest in your health is to STICK TO YOUR LIST!! Don't get distracted by the bakery section or the ice cream freezer. Just get in and get out...you'll be saving money and saving your waist line! Once you're home I highly suggest washing, chopping and bagging all of your produce. You can bag everything individually so that on those days that you have a million errands to run or lots of after school activities you know you have your cooler packed with healthy eats in the car so you dont have to swing by any drive thru.

How about we throw in some exercise???

You don't have to be the next Iron-Man contestant to start exercising. If you belong to a gym, run around the neighborhood, workout to home DVDs or pull out articles from your favorite fitness magazine, JUST GET MOVING!! I think it's a false belief that so many people have that just because you get older you have to get fat or gain weight...That's so FALSE!! Adults tend to gain weight due to lack of physical activity. They're no longer participating in high school or college sports, not running around after their little ones, hitting too many drive thru's and becoming A-1 couch potatoes!! But that stops today!! So what can you do about it?

There are several things you can do about it!

First let's start with the workout gear. We all like to look good no matter what we're doing. So head out and get some new workout gear if you don't have any or yours needs a makeover. It doesn't have to be super expensive, Ross, Old Navy, Forever 21 and Target have some really cute workout clothes and shoes!!

Next you need to pick a workout that you enjoy. Don't worry if it's something different than what your friend or neighbor is doing, do what YOU enjoy!! I promise the more you do something YOU enjoy the more likely you will be to stick to it. If you're not sure where to start you can search Pinterest or Google for some great at home workout tips like this... Pick a few each day and slowly start to add a few more as time goes on and you feel stronger!! Or maybe you prefer a workout DVD you can do in the privacy of your own home like P90X, TurboFire, or Insanity. The best thing about these is that you can do them at whatever time works best for you! You dont have to try to get to the gym on time or wake up super early. The more you make it work for you the more you will stick to it!!

My third tip for investing in your health is to PAY YOURSELF!! Yup, that's right!! EVERY time you do a workout give yourself a tip!! But before you start think about a BIG goal that you want to use that money for. Is it a summer vacation? New workouts clothes? A new outfit? Whatever it is find a picture and print it out. Hang it on the wall over your Tip Jar and let that DRIVE you to workout each day!! When you are thinking about hitting the snooze button REMEMBER that goal you're working so hard towards and go after it!!

My final tip for you is to join one of my 21 day or 60 day accountability groups!  They are an excellent option for support, motivation, and accountability! Not only will you learn the tips I discussed here but we will go over in more detail tips on how to eat clean, stay healthy and lose weight through the summer and how to boost your nutrition for optimum weight loss!!

 

If you are considering joining one of my Challenge groups and getting my 1:1 support with Clean Eating, working out and achieving your health and fitness goals?  Then, contact me about my next challenge group!

My focus is going to be the next 60 days getting you through the summer, helping you lose weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. Then, really helping you get through vacations, picnics, weekend road trips, emotional eating, temptation and more!  My goal is to arm you with the tools to find your will power and be strong!

Insanity Transformation - Motivation Monday!!

I'm sure you've seen the Insanity infomercials on TV and seen the before and after pictures in the magazines and may be skeptical about the results. You find yourself asking "are these real?" or saying "I'm sure these after pictures are airbrushed or photo shopped" But I'm coming you today with some very real results from my challenger Chuck. He has lost a whopping 42 pounds and 15, yes FIFTEEN inches off of his waist!! Let's rewind a minute to give you a bit of his history in his own words...

"I am a 58 year old male, father of 5  age range 35 -24  have 3 grandchildren,  I have found that I was totally out of shape. At age 17 I went into the Army and was with the 101st Airborne in Viet Nam, then Joined the Navy at age 21, and was sent back to Viet Nam on river boats , where I earned the Nick name riverrat. fast forward 36 years and I have found that I have high blood pressure, High HDL  and other issues, in 2007 I had a wake up call with a stroke,  I was at 235 lbs . my Dr. said I needed to lose weight. he put me on 3 BP meds, 2 others for the HDL , and said i needed to change my diet, 

So a life change started then. lasted a couple months , I said you know I don't like rabbit food. 2012 I changed DR. this one was a retired Army DR fresh from the Iraq war , I respected him better because I had given the Military 26 years of my life. He explained things this way.

 

1.Do you have Grandkids, yes I said at that time I had one.

2. do you want to see her grow up. yes . he said then you need to do theses  changes if not for your self , do it for her and your family.He stated if I did not start a real life change now I might not make it to age 60,

3. to get my attention even more he pulled a fast one my main mode of transportation from March to November  was my 2010 1700 CC Bike.

 

Ok you got me attention, now what do I do?

Get down to 150 from 235 and get your bp from 185/80 to a normal range  this journey started May 11, 2012 

I started with the 17day diet , for a month lost 4 lbs. I was starving all the time.

Then  my boss at work had lost 100 lbs over a year , I asked him how, it was the Ideal Protien diet, I had to buy their food which came in powder form.I did this. They said no exercise what so ever, no fruit, no carbs and this cost $120.00 per week for powder food. I did lose weight then, I had to start traveling for my job 3 days a week  this was hard to do I had dropped 55 lbs at this time, but with hotel food , I had started gaining back.  I was sitting in my hotel room and saw the Insanity commerucal at 2 am  after about 4 months of watching my weight go back up and still not eating carbs, no breads, or sodas  I would see the Insanity on TV and said you know thats what I need to do."

 

And that's just what Chuck did. He called in and ordered Insanity! Our paths crossed when I received Chuck as a customer lead and he was looking for a support system and challenge group to participate in. I could see from the start his passion and enthusiasm for this new journey in his life!! In our challenge groups I post daily assignments such as "how much water do you really need" and we share our meal plans and recipes and Chuck really embraced these assignments and was able to use them not only in his own life but also when cooking for his family and sharing his weight loss story with co-workers on the job!

 

Added 4 new holes to his belt!! Down 8" in one month! 

 

He works full time at a prison in Oregon sometimes working 16 hour days! One might ask "when do you have time to workout"? I even wondered the same thing but the difference between Chuck and so many others is that he simply MAKES time. It's not an option. He begins each morning with a 3am Insaity workout then heads off to work. In the first month alone Chuck lost 8" off of his waist!! And if this schedule isn't INSANE enough...Chuck started adding in P90X every evening when he got home....TWO workouts a day, this guy is on fire!!

 

It was at this time that Chuck decided to add in Shakeology to his daily meal plan, fully embraced clean eating and make sure he was able to follow this plan even while traveling weekly for work and staying in a hotel. This portable blender is a lifesaver when faced with the hotel food options and Chuck used his laptop to do his Insanity workouts in his room while on the road.  In addition to working a full time job, committing to a full workout plan, attending church weekly, and spending time with his family he also has a farm and garden that he and his wife grow organic fruits and vegetables and raise their own organic chickens! No more powdered food for this guy!! Nothing but fresh, whole fruits and vegetables to fuel him properly for his workouts and proper health.

After completing his first round of Insanity and drinking Shakeology Chuck can proudly say that he has lost 42 pounds and 15 inches off of his waist. He has also brought his BMI from 38.5 to 30.6!! These are some pretty amazing results and I am so happy for him!! But his story doesn't end there!! He is officially starting on round 2 of Insanity today!! I am very excited to see where this journey takes him and so happy for the changes that he is making in his life. I have no doubt in my mind that the granddaughter that he was talking about earlier will be dancing with him on her wedding day!! Keep up the great work Chuck, we're so proud of you!

 

 

Spring Cleaning Anyone???

Well we are just about to end the month of April, right in the middle of Spring and Summer is right around the corner!  You have exactly 1-2 months until you will be bearing your legs, arms and possibly breaking out the swimsuit. When you are out shopping the stores are packed with shorts, capris and tanks as a pleasant reminder that maybe you haven't been  as dedicated to your health and fitness over the winter!  The first time you try on a pair of shorts it's blinding, RIGHT!!  This just happened to me!  The good thing is that those white pasty legs can be fixed with a quick trip to the spa for a spray tan!

But that spare tire or muffin top is not going to banish with the tint of the spray tan!  Instead it's the mad dash to find something to make a change right now!  How many times have you said to yourself, "Oh I will just not eat for a few days and then I will be back on track!"  Then 3 days later you are binging because you have barely eaten.  Or you sign up for a gym membership with great intentions and 2 weeks later you haven't lost a pound and you are frustrated!!!

I am totally talking from experience.  Let me tell you that you do not have time to mess around!  12 weeks is not a long time when talking about a transformation.  It takes 4 weeks to get in a routine, 8 weeks for you to truly notice a change and then 12 weeks for others to notice the change.  So don't dilly dally around wondering how and when you are going to make the change!  Start now! 

Let me tell you from experience. The first 30 days of TurboFire I didn't know how to eat.  I didn't lose any weight and I was frustrated, I even gave up! Then I found a Challenge Group and a Coach who BELIEVED in me and taught me about clean eating and Shakeology, which is my savior!  It changed my life and then 18 lbs and 12 inches gone!  But it was a process and it took time and effort.  So because I have been through this process I want to significantly cut your learning curve.

In my 12 week health and fitness program I will help you choose the Beachbody fitness program that will meet your personalized goals.  Then, you will replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the 12 weeks.  Honestly, YES Shakeology does make a difference.  It gave me energy when I wanted to take that afternoon nap, it was a quick easy grab and go meal, it was CHOCOLATE to curb my craving and it was filling!  You commit to the workout and the nutrition and I will commit to helping you create a meal plan, give you recipes, motivate, support and guide you each and every day in a closed online support group!  I will not let you FAIL!  We will work together to get you to the place where you feel confident and ready to bare those legs this summer!

 I know this because I did it!  Trust me, it is the truth!  Here are a few challengers of mine and their testimonial of the changes they are seeing in their bodies so far!!

Yes you too can be that same success story!  I want to see your before and after pictures right here! I want you to own that transformation with pride!!  I believe in your ability to make a change!

Motivation Monday - P90X Transformations

So if you haven't heard about P90X you must be living under a rock! Just kidding!! But, I'm PRETTY sure you've caught one of the infomercials while you were scrolling through the channels late one night when you couldn't sleep right??? Well I know that's how I was first introduced to the program. I was VERY impressed that I could get these results they promised while working out in my OWN home (I hate the gym), on my own time and in only 3 short months!!

Emily C down 38 pounds!

 

But when I ordered P90X it was several years ago, I had NO idea what Beachbody was as a company, I had NO idea what a Challenge Pack, Shakeology or a Challenge Group even were. And this is probably why I struggled with staying consistent and following a healthy eating plan. I didn't have the free support of a Beachbody coach or a free challenge group to keep me engaged and motivated!! But the good news is that ALL of this is available to you NOW!!!

I am running 1-2 Challenge Groups monthly for both fitness and nutrition & clean eating. You can join one of my March MadnessChallenge Groups and together I can mentor you through a fitness or nutrition program and help you transform your life into one that is healthier, more energetic and confident. You can be surrounded by other people who want to do the same and never feel like you are alone in your struggles. You can log into our closed group and receive the BEST support and guidance and really get amazing results on your own time!

Joanna R lost 77 pounds w/2 rounds of P90X

Beachbody has taken the P90X and P90X2 Challenge Packs (Fitness program + Shakeology), which are already discounted, and put them on sale AGAIN!!! Yup you read that right!! For the month of March ONLY you can get each of these programs for $25 off.

 

 

If you're thinking that this sounds like the perfect program for you and you are ready to sign up for my next Challenge Group starting April 1st then Message me today.  You can also find me on Facebook and send me a friend request. Let's work together to get you to the BEST version of you!!
