For those of you who follow my blog, Facebook or know me personally you may already know much of this story. But for those who are reading it for the first time, I want to share a little bit about my journey with Beachbody from challenger to Diamond coach in just over a years time. Make sure you read to the end, you WILL be writing a story like this of your own and I can't wait to start the journey with you!
In January of 2012 I tipped the scales at 196 pounds. I had a 6 month old baby and LOTS of baby weight to get rid of. I felt sad, depressed and had no energy. I cried to my husband and told him that I was not comfortable in my own skin. I avoided social gatherings, hid in the back of pictures and felt completely lost. So I gathered up some friends and family members and started my own Biggest Loser challenge on Facebook. I created a private group where we could report our weight, share tips and healthy dinner ideas.I also started posting motivational pictures and quotes to keep myself motivated on my own personal FB wall. I lost about 20 pounds and felt like I was on my way! But at this point I didn't know what else to do, I was at a plateau and wanted to push past it. So I started surfing YouTube and came across a program called Turbo Fire. I saw other women getting AMAZING results and I didn't care what they did I WANTED IT!!!
So I bought it and found my coach. I was pumped and ready to start, but she said I had to get this stuff called Shakeology. I have never been a "shake person" and thought that it was just the same as all the other weight loss in a can crap out there on the market. So I kindly declined and did my Turbo Fire on my own. Two months had past and I had lost about 6 pounds...this was NOT the results that I wanted. I reached back out and asked her to tell me about Shakeology. I needed help and I didn't want to waste any more time. Here is what I learned...Shakeology is NOT just a protein shake! Yes it has protein in it, but it is a nutrient dense meal replacement shake with the vitamins and nutrition equivalent to 6 salads. (This was also WAY more than I was getting in my multi-vitamin!) I was very skeptical when I was told that Shakeology would help with digestion and regularity (a problem I had that I know MANY of us suffer from), curb cravings, boost energy naturally and help lose weight. How could a chocolate shake, that taste like a diner milkshake do all that AND be good for me? I kid you not that it DELIVERED. And the benefits didnt stop there. I had energy to get up and get my morning workouts done, I had less bloating in my stomach, I was losing weight as a result and since my body was getting all the nutrients and vitamins it needed I wasnt having cravings for junk. All cravings are is a way for our body to tell us that it's lacking something so we go seeking to satisfy it with junk or comfort food. My hair and nails were also strong and growing faster than ever! Deciding to drink Shakeology daily was the BEST decision I've made and all I can say is I wish I listened to my coach two months earlier. The combination of my workout, Shakeology and the support, community and accountability of my challenge group is what made all the pieces of the puzzle come together. Sure I could have hit the gym and ate "healthy" but I didnt know what to eat and how to workout. This challenge group gave me the tools, the nutrition, a day to day schedule for my workouts, it was a piece of cake! Although I am still a work in progress I have come a long way and proud of my efforts.
It was at this same time when I started drinking Shakeology that my coach approached me and asked what I thought about becoming a coach myself. Honestly I was flattered but I knew NOTHING about coaching. She was so professional and knowledgeable about health, fitness, clean eating and Beachbody and I was JUST starting my journey. She also told me that I could be a "preferred customer" if I wanted to and get 25% of of my Shakeology and any other products I purchased (HECK YAY, Coupon Queen over here!!) and I would also be able to join her challenge group as a challenger but at the same time learn how to coach others. I did this for 90 days as I went through my own personal transformation and ended 2012 down 42 pounds. I was PUMPED, I was no longer hiding in the back of pictures, I was LOVING my new, cute clothes and I was full of energy, which was really helpful with a one and a half year old! I knew if I could do this working a full time job with an infant that anyone could do it!
I met with my coach, joined her 60 day apprenticeship program where I learned everything she knew and did to get her to where she is today. I was given tools, documents, support, motivation and guidance to grow my own team. And then I told her that I was ready to do it on my own. I hit the ground running and have not looked back. I have successfully ran 1-2 challenge groups every month for the past 16 months, I am currently a Success Club 10 All Star, I have 25 personally sponsored coaches and a total of 40 coaches on my team! I ranked in the top 25 out of thousands of teams on the Beachbody Cup Challenge and I will be taking an all expense paid trip with my hubby in March as a reward for my efforts. It it not my intention in any way to brag or show off, I just hope to show you that ANYTHING is possible when you set your mind to it!! So here's where my story ends and YOURS begins!!
I had an amazing year but I only have BIGGER and BOLDER dreams for 2014 and I want YOU to be a part of them!! I want you to live the life of your dreams, set your own hours, help you help others, help you spend more time with your children and family and help you to financial freedom! Whether you are a stay at home mom or a busy working professional, if you have a passion for health and fitness or if you enjoy helping others I'd love to chat about joining my team. As I said above if you only join to get a discount on your products while you go through your own transformation that's awesome! And if you want to actively grow your own business, fill out the application below! Challenge group and Coach Apprenticeship groups start Monday January 6th!!
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 10th – 31st
(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!
