In July 2010, I decided to begin a health and fitness journey with at-home workouts and a superfood shake. The shake, Shakeology, was not marketed to me as a weight-loss shake; but, I was told, it would it help me lose weight. It is filled with so many quality, healthy ingredients that having it every day would help me,…
I just returned from my 9th Beachbody Coach Summit. The emotions I felt with this Summit far surpassed any other feelings I had felt at any of my previous Summits. This year we took our girls with us and bought them tickets to join us for the final night celebration. All weekend I looked forward to that night, to…
When I first heard about Morning Meltdown 100 (MM100), I was SO EXCITED! 100 workouts until I need to think of another program? YES! Count me IN! Then I saw a sneak peek. Now, I am always up for a challenge and I love the idea of pushing myself; but, when I saw who the trainer is for…
When I was 16, I had horrible menstrual cycles: Pain, heavy flow, dizziness, irregular, just AWFUL. I went on the birth control pill and it helped, but I wasn’t diagnosed with anything specific and I went on with my life. Fast-forward ten years. I’m now in my mid-20s and my husband Mark and I decided we wanted to start…
In 2014, 21 Day Fix launched. It offered color-coded containers, with each color corresponding to a food group, to help with portion control and daily 30-minute workouts. It was easy: All you had to do was plug your weight into a formula, answer a few questions about your lifestyle and goals, and VOILA! You received a tailored plan telling…
For years, I would go to the gym, do weight watchers, try fad diets, anything that would promise me results. I had such a hard time STICKING to anything consistently. When I became a mom, I said enough is enough, I have to find something for me , that is sustainable long term. I remember the girls being 4…
SHIFT SHOP When I first heard the title of the new program “Shift Shop”, I thought “what the heck does that mean?” I then got asked to be in the TEST GROUP. After seeing the trailer, I thought “ME? Are you sure? This looks too intense for me” I had knee surgery a few years ago and I am…
PIYO what is it? Piyo is a mat strength workout. Low impact, mix of yoga and pilates with cardio style movements thrown in the mix. You are sweating and muscles are shaking yet you are barely moving. It’s Amazing! If you are not a cardio fan but know you need to get that sweaty feeling in, this is the…
I have done just about every Beachbody program out there and that is so important to me because I like variety. I get bored doing a program longer than 30/60 days so I love that i have the option to just move on the next month! You get access for 1 year to over 40 fitness programs that are…
I have been on my health and fitness journey for about 3 ½ years now! I started with P90X and literally felt the best EVER and had abs for the first time! It was awesome! Well, I figured I better tackle Insanity next, so I did. Great program, built endurance but I seemed to get a little FLUFFY ,if…
