In just four weeks you’ll be feeling and looking better without all the stress of a strict program and fad diet.

What is the eating plan like?

The K.I.S.S. (Keep It Super Simple) & JUST EAT! Meal Guide is your on-ramp to eating better and feeling better. It’s not a strict diet. It’s designed to help you make small, simple changes over 4 weeks with 4 easy steps. These help you create new healthy habits that will become second nature.

How long are the workouts?

The program is scheduled for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. That means you get weekends off! There are a total of 6 workouts included with the program:

Move Your Body: Get ready to shimmy, shake, and strike a pose to “Let’s Get Loud,” originally recorded by Jennifer Lopez.

Work It. $hake It!: Put your unique attitude into every move of this disco-themed routine as you groove to “She Works Hard For The Money,” originally recorded by Donna Summer.

Rock It Out!: Grab your air guitar, let out that inner rockstar, and dance it out to “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” originally recorded by Pat Benatar.

Sweat Sensation: It’s time for you to shine and party like it’s 1991 to “Good Vibrations,” originally recorded by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch featuring Loleatta Holloway.

Sculpt Shack: You’ll learn to love the burn in this standing total-body sculpting routine as you tone to the beat of “Love Shack,” originally recorded by The B-52’s.

Believe, Achieve, & Tone: Ready to get down? Leandro knows you can conquer this mat-based routine after he gets you fired up with “Believe,” originally recorded by Cher.

There is NO equipment required for any of the workouts! Weighted gloves are recommended if you want to take the program to the next level.

What is Beachbody Coaching? 5 Day Sneak Peek

It’s no mystery that I LOVE my job as a Beachbody Coach, but have you ever found yourself asking "what the heck does she actually DO???" I know before I started on my own transformation I didn't even know that Beachbody coaches existed!!

So if you've found yourself wondering about this "Beachbody thing" I'm always talking about how would you feel about a sneak peek into my life as a coach? Don't waste any more time wondering HOW I am able to help people get in better shape or how I can help my family get into a better financial situation! Come see for yourself!! 

Some of the most popular questions I get asked and what I'll be covering in the group:

• What does a Beachbody coach DO?
• How do I make money?
• How do I earn those FREE trips?
• Do I need any fitness experience?
• How much time is required of me?
• I'm not at my goal weight yet!
• I dont have a big social network!
• Can I do this from home?

….And much, much more!!!
 I KNOW that many businesses have a bad wrap for being a pyramid scheme (NOT Beachbody, plus that's actually illegal by the way!!!), people fear that they will have to SELL or BUG their family and friends, or other icky stuff that comes along with working from home. But I'll be the FIRST to tell you if ANY of that was true I would have been gone, A LONG TIME AGO!!

I am running a 5 Day Coaching Sneak Peek group starting January 19th to show you FIRST HAND what it is we do. To clear up any misconceptions you might have and to give YOU an opportunity to ask any questions you have in a safe, no obligation, closed Facebook group! Just want to watch and be a fly on the wall? That's ok too!!

   
When I first signed up as a coach it was honestly to get my 25% discount on my own products but it didn't take long at all for me to realize that there was something BIGGER here!! I joined an apprenticeship program and I have not looked back since.  What's great is that with this company you can work part time or full time and I was ready to go ALL IN!! I was looking for an opportunity to stay home with my children while still being able to have the adult interaction that I needed, to be able to travel and still earn an income from where ever I was.  I was not being fulfilled in my previous job and honestly couldn't imagine working for someone else for the next 30+ years. Becoming a coach has allowed me all of those freedoms, allowed me to meet the most AMAZING positive people, travel for FREE with my hubby, to set my own income, set my own hours, and the ability to literally transform lives!  HOW did I get so lucky?!?!
  
If this sounds like something you'd love to check out I encourage you to bring a friend too! Because everything is better with a friend RIGHT?!?! So lets get started!! Shoot me a friend request HERE, let me know you're interested in the 5 Day Sneak Peek and I will get you added to the group.  We are starting Monday January 19th, but if you're reading the after we've kicked off, don't worry!! I will be hosting these monthly and I can always work with you 1:1 to answer any questions you have!!

What is P90?

I am so excited for the newest Beach Body Home Fitness Program, P90 by none other than the amazing Tony Horton!!!!!  When I first heard that this program was coming out I was over the moon! Have you ever done P90X??? I have, and It is hard!!!  Have you ever tried P90X and failed?!?!  YOU ARE NOT ALONE, I did too! Maybe you want to work your way up to P90X but aren't quite ready to go all in with that amount of intensity right now. Maybe you want want a stepping stone to build a base level of fitness so that you can tackle something like P90X down the road.

Well, Tony saw the need for a program that was the foundational skills to advancing to a more extreme workout and he created P90! P90 is the gateway to getting fit regardless of one's age or fitness level! This program includes ten all-new workouts that are simple, doable, and less extreme than his others, but still just as effective. Whether a person hasn't worked out in a decade, or is just looking to maintain what they've got, P90 opens the door for customers to see dramatic, visible results in just 90 days.

Who would this program be perfect for?

• You don't want a hardcore workout but you want to lose weight.
• You want to get back some of the muscle tone you have lost over the years.
• You want to just get out of bed in the morning without a backache.
• If you are just someone who wants to be in good health, get regular exercise and feel strong then this could be the workout for you.

So what is this program all about?

It's not high intensity, its not pounding your joints.  It's literally simple cardio, simple workouts, 25  minutes a day for 90 days to totally and completely transform your body and your life. It's more than just a workout, it comes with a simple nutrition guide that is going to help you clean up your daily food intake and focus on the right foods to fuel your body for health!  The moves are modified right from day 1 so that everyone can do the workouts.

So when will it be available?

Well the expected release date is September 23rd, 2014 through a Team Beachbody coach which is ME!  More info will be rolling out this week including details on the workouts, the program, the options and the pricing.


Who should do P90?

Anyone who wants to get started on fitness no matter what age or ability.  I have talked to my Dad about this and he will be joining us for the entire workout.  My Dad is newly retired and he is not at the level where he wants to be doing push ups, pull ups and crazy plyometric jumps and lunges, but wants to stay active and improve on his health. This workout will be perfect for him.

I will also be doing P90!!   Right now I am 14 weeks pregnant, Yup I will be following along to this program while pregnant! I have consulted with my doctor, reviewed the info I have already and will work closely with her to make sure I am cleared for this workout. Obviously I'll have to make some modifications but this is a great way for me to be able to test out the program with my challengers and stay active so I have a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Although I LOVE T25 and Chalean Extreme those will be my programs of choice for AFTER baby comes :)

I believe that if you want to change your body, you want to start creating a healthy exercise routine then this is going to be the best way to do it.  Tony Horton is an amazing trainer with an entire team behind his workout philosophy that is tried, tested and true.

I know for a fact that this is truly going to be a spectacular workout.  I mean, heck you have SERIOUSLY no excuse not to workout.  There is something out there for everyone!  Sometimes we just need a little motivation in order to make it happen!

So what's the game plan?!?!
How Do I Make Sure I Am THE FIRST TO GET IT?!?!

I want to make sure that this doesn't become another fitness program that you invest in that sits on your shelf and collects dust.  I want to make sure that when you get the program in the mail, you bust it out, you make a plan and you SUCCEED!  My job as a coach is to be your support system, to help you to decipher the meal plan, to put a list of foods in place, to start together on October 6th and to track our progress, stay accountable, stay motivated and encourage one another to get into the best shape of our lives.

So I am hosting an EXCLUSIVE TEST GROUP where you can get support and be surrounded by other like minded people, you can enter to win $500 for your transformation and you can get results.

What is a test group?
The P90 Exclusive DREAM TEAM TEST GROUP!

It is a closed Facebook group where no one but the members of the group can see what is being posted. I will walk you through how to set realistic goals for yourself, how to meal plan, prep, how to set yourself up for success, then each day you log into the group for a post of the day, motivation, recipes and tips.  We will track progress through our online group and you will succeed!  Trust me, if you commit I will meet you half way!  I won't let you give up! Are you ready to put all fears aside and go for it?  What's the worst that can happen? You could lose a few pounds, kick the soda habit and have a ton more energy!  Not so bad, right!!!! 

The requirements are that you purchase the P90 Challenge pack through me as your free coach. I will be giving you all of the details to get the package once you complete the application below.  I must be your coach and only my customers and coaches are allowed to participate in this group.

Are you in?!?!  I'm only accepting a limited number of people into this exclusive group.  So please complete the application below to be considered for a spot and gain more information!

All you have to do is decide that now is the time for you to make a change!!!  Let's do this together!!!    Fill out the application to be the first to know about the release date, the details and more!!!!

May Fitness Challenge - Together we can!!

So there are officially 60 days until the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!! Seriously, where has this year gone?!?! I don't know about you but I'd like to hit the ground running and not only look good, but feel good on day one! I want to already have made significant lifestyle changes and look forward to trips to the beach with my family not dread them because I will either be tugging at my clothes or covered up in jeans and long sleeves!

 The good news is it's the PERFECT time to make a commitment to your health.  Maybe your short term goal is to lose a few pounds before the summer, lets do it!!! And I want to help you get to your long term goal to live a healthy and fulfilling life.  I would like nothing more than to see you become a positive influence on those around you, to share what you will learn and to truly make this a lifestyle change and not another fad diet.So now what?!  Well....I have options for the fitness fan AND the foodie alike...check it out!

Here is my official invitation to you! I will be opening my next accountability group in a couple weeks. Starting on May 5th you can join my 60 day health and fitness program.  During the 8 weeks I will teach you how to make exercise a part of your daily routine by matching you up with a Beachbody fitness program like the 21 Day Fix, Focus T25, Brazil Butt Lift, Turbofire, Chalean Extreme and more to meet your needs.  I will recommend a program that fits your ability level and that you feel works with your time commitments as well.

I will also require that you replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology.  Shakeology is a meal replacement shake that is all natural, helps you lose weight, controls your cravings, keeps you full and gives you energy to get through your workouts and the other responsibilities of the day.  You are only required to drink Shakeology during the 60 days, afterwards you can decide what to do.  The reason I require Shakeology is because when you are learning to change your eating habits and are adding in exercise this is one meal a day that you know you are eating the right portion size, the right food combination and that you are fueling your body for just plain good nutrition.  I will teach you how to plan out your meals, how to pair foods together to give you energy and lose weight, and give you a plethora of recipes to help make your meals easy and delicious.  Every recipe I share has been kid tested and husband approved!

As part of the Accountability Group you will be enrolled into my closed online support group.  In this group I will help you to set your health and fitness goals, I will post daily tips, motivation and accountability.  You will be required to check in each day and post your daily activities.  It's a great place to feel connected to other people who are going through the same life situations as you!

Does this sound like something you would like to do?  Then don't delay.  There are a limited number of spots available.  I do this to keep the groups small and allow me to provide you with the individual attention that you deserve!!! APPLICATION TO JOIN available BELOW!!

So now is the time, DO IT!!  60 days until summer....We have work to do!

Your second option:  Maybe you are not quite ready to do a complete challenge group but you want to learn more about how to Eat Clean.  Maybe you want to try Shakeology but are nervous about the investment and whether or not you will get the results you want.  I am going to be running a 30 day Shakeology and Clean Eating group starting on May 5th as well.  In this group you will receive meal planning, recipes, tips, basics on clean eating, support and motivation to make eating healthy a lifestyle change and not a crash diet.  We will incorporate Shakeology and I will teach you exactly how to get the results you are looking for.  Then, after the 30 days is up you will have a great base of knowledge to continue on with what works best for you.

T25 Before and After, Final Results!!

WE DID IT!!! We officially finished our first round of T25 and we feel GREAT!! I can honestly say that it has been a WHILE since I completed a program from start to finish all the way through!! As a Beachbody coach I have a whole library of programs, so I do workout every day but tend to mix up my routine. And this just CONFIRMS that Beachbody knows what they are doing!! When you stick to the program it delivers amazing results and I know we both are seeing muscles we haven't seen for a long time!! We enjoyed this first round so much that we are ready to start round 2!!

So how did we do?!?!? Take a look...

Ruben is down 25 pounds and down two pant sizes! I am SUPER proud of his hard work and dedication. This is a guy who would NOT do an early morning workout for anything and is now pushing ME to start early and get it done! This is also a guy who has made MAJOR strides in his eating habits. When dining out he is making healthy choices, swapping fries for salads and opting for grilled chicken and turkey burgers vs heavy, hearty, high calorie dishes!! We worked together every Sunday to plan and prep our meals for the week. We laid out a plan that was not only family friendly but also things that would be easy to prep and save us time throughout the week. We portioned out snacks, packed lunches and batch cooked protein for our dinners. During the second phase of T25 we started using 21 Day Fix meal plan which incorporates portion controlled meal planning and it was SO easy to follow. We literally filled our containers and went on our way. No measuring, weighing our counting calories!! Check out some of our meal plans!!

After round one of T25 I am down 15 pounds and at least one pant size. Because I pretty much live in yoga pants I don't know exactly what size I was! Guess that's a hazard of the job lol. I was very excited to start to see abs!! I have a ways to go but this program was perfect for our busy lifestyle. 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Everyone has time for that!! I love that this program pushes you and then when you think you cant push anymore it changes it up and you start working on a different body part! I am very much looking forward to round 2 and the results that are to come!

We also had to do a little bit of traveling during this time but we made no skips in our routine. We always brought our workouts, resistance bands and a cooler packed with all of our food. We easily could have taken a few days off here and there but we were committed to our success and results. Sure it takes a little more planning, prep and thought to make sure you have everything you need. Meals, shakeology, blenders, programs, etc but in no time it just becomes second nature and a lifestyle change!!

For the month of April, 2014 the T25 challenge pack is on a HUGE sale. They are taking $90 off the price of this 10 week program!! And coincidentally summer is just about 10 weeks away!! Have you got 25 minutes a day to commit to your health and fitness? Would you like to tone up a bit before you have to pull out those shorts, tanks and bikinis this summer? Well I invite YOU to join us!! Our next accountability group is starting on April 21st, the day after your Easter feasts and the day you start on your new lifestyle of health and fitness!! You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!! Are you ready?

If so fill out the application below and lets chat!! If you have any questions or would like more info please shoot me a friend request on Facebook!!

SS Beachbody Succes Club Cruise 2014

So let me start out by saying that NEVER in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be telling you the story I am about to tell you right now!!

It all goes back to January of 2012...(Short version) I was 196 pounds, tired, depressed, new mom and we were making ends meet paycheck to paycheck. I was able to lose about 20 pounds on my own but then got stuck. I needed help and I needed a plan. I joined my first challenge group and almost immediately my coach asked me if I wanted to be a coach. I did so primarily for the discount on my own products but then there was a spark inside of me that I couldn't put out! So I jumped in and started coaching. At this time all of the coaches on my team were buzzing about this trip to Disneyworld that they had all earned for FREE!! I was intrigued but figured that you had to be a TOP COACH or big dollar earner to be able to go. When the trip finally came about and the pictures started rolling around with my teammates and their families having an absolute BLAST I knew I WANTED THAT!! There was NO question in my mind, I was going to make it happen!! And I DID!!!

This year the Success Club trip was aboard the S.S. Beachbody where Beachbody charted a cruise ship EXCLUSIVELY for Beachbody coaches and their families. My husband and I were able to attend this cruise for FREE and were even gifted with $500 spending money as a reward for being a Success Club All Star. Now I know that some of those things I just said may not mean much to you right now. But if you are achieving Success Club every month in your business it means that you are helping to change lives, helping others get physically and financially fit. It means you are putting the needs of others before yours and you are helping them to reach THEIR goals. Like I said at the top of this post I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would ever find a "job" (if you can even call it that) where we are so greatly rewarded for HELPING people. Honestly I would do this even if I didnt get paid one cent because this just fills my cup and makes me happy but it is amazing to also feel so appreciated for our hard work.

Since the last real vacation my husband and I were able to take was our honeymoon we decided that we wanted to head to Ft. Lauderdale, FL a day early to have some time just relaxing on the beach and visiting with friends before we boarded the cruise. It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful!! The water was clear, the palm trees were tall and we had a great time walking around and people watching. It was also really great to spend some time with my coach and one of my best friends, Melanie Mitro! We got to workout, walk on the beach and just have some great conversations and laughs!

Being that this cruise was the first cruise for both Ruben and myself I was a little nervous, I didnt know what to expect. But when the CEO and members of the corporate team are there to welcome you literally as you walk on all my fears went out the window!! How amazing is that when the leaders of the company get down and mingle with everyone, treat everyone as equals and have a great time themselves!!

We checked into our ocean view room, unpacked and headed out for some fun!! Each night of the cruise had a different theme and it was so fun to participate as a team and really build those relationships that we have over the computer each and every day!

 

In TRUE Beachbody fashion we had to kick off the first day with a morning workout. It was AMAZING to watch the sun rise while doing a LIVE T25 workout with Shaun T and all of my best friends!!! I seriously get chills just thinking about this morning!! Not only did we get to work out with Shaun T, but we all qualified for an exclusive photo op with Autumn Calabrese the creator or the 21 Day Fix, she is an absolute sweetheart and it was so great to meet her in person!

Of course it was on to lots of rest and relaxation, celebrating and team building by the pool!! Not only am I proud to be a member of the Dream Team but also a part of the Bombshell Dynasty. These are some of the most amazing women, entrepreneurs and leaders I know!!

Formal night was such a blast. We don't often get to dress up at home so it was really special to get dressed up and go out with my hubby. I always heard about the amazing food on the cruise and how you can try a little of this and a  little of that, so we definitely didn't hold back! But what we did do to keep ourselves on track was to share things. Its important to splurge in moderation!! After Formal Night we headed to the night club where we got to mingle again with CEO Carl Daikeler and share an evening of laughs and great times!

 

Wednesday started one of our two excursions and we had a GREAT time in Cozumel!! Have you seen the show Wipe Out? Yup we did that, I will no longer say "oh come on, that was easy" lol!! That baby is so deceiving, such a great workout!! We also participated in a water balloon toss, hung in hammocks on the beach, went kayaking and enjoyed a traditional Mexican buffet. The guys also went on the water slides and took a dip in the pool. It was so awesome to see the husbands all bonding too, makes it feel that much more like family!

Dream Team Kayak Trip

Playa Mia Cozumel

After a long day in the sun we were pretty tired but still wanted to participate in the Disco night. It was so awesome seeing everyone dressed up in all the crazy attire. Ruben got so many compliments on his afro it was the perfect touch!! We did join our friends for dinner and then decided to have a relaxing night with movies and dessert for room service.

 

70's Disco Party

 

Boat ride with the Hennessey's

Thursday was the second of the excursions. We took a catamaran to the Grand Cayman Islands and went to Sting Ray City. I was not adventurous enough to swim with this Sting Rays but it was BEAUTIFUL scenery!! The warm sun and crystal clear water was amazing. The sting rays swam right up to the swimmers and were very playful!!

Soaking up some sun!!

The ride out to see the Sting Rays was really special for me. Not only did I get to hang with Melanie again but I also spent time with Lindsay Matway. I know many of you may not know what the big deal is about Melanie and Lindsay but these two women hold the #1 and #2 spots as the TOP ranked coaches in the entire Beachbody organization. I'm not sharing this to "name drop" I'm sharing this because I want to show how the LEADERS in this company are REAL, down to earth women. Women with families, funny stories, and same day to day situations that we ALL have. They have just decided to have laser focus on their business and their passions for helping others succeed!! It was an amazing opportunity to be able to network and pick their brains for business building strategies and really just soak up all their knowledge!!

 

White Party Dinner with the Besties!! 

 Thursday ended the evening festivities with the White Party! This was a great way to end a week full of fun and bonding with our team. Even in the pouring rain some of the coaches got out there and danced the night away! These are some of my absolute best friends that if it weren't for Beachbody I may have never met!!

So now as I am back to reality I sit here reflecting on the vacation we had last week and all the fun and I realize that its not about the free trips, the fun gifts but it's about the people whose lives you touch along the way! Its about making that choice back in 2012 to get myself in shape, to pay it forward and help others and to have an impact on them. I am truly blessed to have been given this opportunity to share wealth and health with others. And I literally want to shout about it from the mountain tops for all to hear! This trip is about networking with others about connecting to other coaches with similar stories, and building relationships with people that lift you up and push you to be better than you ever imagined.  This trip has taught me that ANYONE can help and they SKY is the limit.  It's time for me to get back to work, to continue to inspire others to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives!!
