7 Tips for Beachbody’s 2 Day Fast
Yes. I tried the Beachbody 2 Day Fast to kick start my Slim in 6 six week weight loss program. I didn’t have expectations for losing a lot of weight in two days because I know what my body burns on it’s own without exercising. I did the fast because it was a way to get me thinking about weight loss and getting my body ready for a lower caloric intake following my 90 day P90X program.
Take a look at the Beachbody Step-By-Step Nutrition Guide that comes with your Slim in 6 program. On about the third page, you’ll see a chart to help you figure out how many calories your body needs based on your gender, current weight, and activity level. Then, subtract the 300 calories you’ll be getting from your shakes during the fast. Take the resulting number and compare it to The Daily Deficit chart on the same page. This will give you an estimate of what you could lose as a result of the fast…read more
Ramping It Up: Slim in 6 vs. P90X
I attacked Debbie Siebers Slim in 6 Ramp It Up workout yesterday for the first time. It was longer than the first workout, Start It Up and built upon the basic moves demonstrated in the first workout. 
I was amazed at the muscle soreness I was feeling during the workout in my triceps, glutes, and abs. These are three areas most women want to tone up, myself included. Debbie Siebers does a good job going right to the trouble areas, but she hits all the muscle groups systematically with the goal of getting slim in 6 weeks.
Hitting all the muscle groups everyday is a major change for me. Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Training System is based on classic weight training principles…lift the maximum amount of weight that you can for 8-10 reps to gain muscle size or a weight you can lift for 10-12 reps if you’re wanting to tone without increased muscle size. Whether you choose to work in the shorter or longer rep range, you’re trying to use a heavy enough weight to challenge you during the last couple of reps. P90X works through two to three muscle groups during a typical workout and allows for rest days before working that muscle group again…read more
What Supports Your Fitness Goals?
I started Beachbody’s two-day fast today in preparation for starting Slim in 6 on July 1st. I’m also taking the Slimming Formula which may help stimulate my metabolism and help burn fat more efficiently with exercise. I’m also supplementing with Cal-Mag (calcium), Omega-3, and ActiVit Metabolism Formula which is a multi-vitamin with green tea and L-Carnitine to boost my metabolism and promote fat loss. By the way, let me know if you’d like to join me on my six week weight loss journey. My new fitness goals are to slim my hips and thighs and drop 15 pounds in six weeks.
I just returned from an awesome family reunion. It was nice to visit with my family members and hear what they’re doing to lose weight. As you know, I’ve been doing P90X. I primarily toned up and lost inches with only a ten pound weight loss in 90 days….of course I gained muscle and blasted fat, so I’m happy with those results.
Anyway, my niece has lost about 30 pounds with Weight Watchers since November. She attended two meetings and decided she could do the program on her own. Congratulations go out to her! My youngest brother lost about 40 pounds doing the South Beach Diet. It’s working for him…hats off! Congrats! I’m excited. And another one of my brothers lost 20 pounds with a Biggest Loser DVD. I’m proud of him, too. I’m telling my readers about these successes to point out that each person must find what motivates them to reach their fitness goals.
My mother has Fibromyalgia and joint issues. She could not even dream of doing P90X or even Slim in 6. I was talking to her about each person finding what works best for them. For my mother, activity in the pool supports her joints and helps guard against muscle injury with her Fibromyalgia. I suggested that she checks out the local YMCA where they have a pool she can use.
I admire runners, but I do not enjoy running. I admire bikers, but I can’t see myself peddling down the road with traffic. I’ve said before that I love working out in the gym, but I find it hard to remain consistent. My consistency came with Beachbody workout videos. I stay motivated and work on both exercise and nutrition. Beachbody helps me balance both sides of the equation. Activity and diet.
I may not be perfect everyday, but I stay on my fitness path and make adjustments to stay on course. One of the things that helps me stay on course are the message boards where I connect with other people who are doing the same workout as me. It is a great place to get encouragement when you need it and to stay motivated by helping other people get through their struggles. Hope to see you there or in WOWY – our online Supergym.
My Weight Loss Turning Point
I’m not an expert on the science of losing weight. Like most Americans, my experience with weight loss is up and down with my most successful weight loss episodes coming during hard times when I found myself depressed and just didn’t eat. I tried the South Beach Diet, the Peanut Butter Diet, Bill Phillip’s “Fit for Life,” and every new thing published by popular magazines like Prevention and Woman’s Day.
I was envious of the metabolism and muscle building capability of the male anatomy. It seemed like women had to work twice as hard and eat half as much to strengthen, tone, and lose weight. Like many women, I struggled with weight gain in my hips, thighs, and waist.
In my first post, I talked about how the P90X Extreme Training System helped me find what was missing in my fitness routine, namely consistency. As my 90 day program comes to an end, I find I’ve learned something else through this program. Weight loss is about consistency in both exercise and diet.
Maintaining a healthy weight and living a fit lifestyle requires desire and commitment. If you’re experiencing problems with weight, chances are your relationship with food may be part of the problem. I love the commercial that shows the happy Leave It to Beaver type family sitting down to dinner. Mom brings out a baked potato for Dad that has a whole stick of butter sticking straight up out of it. Of course I cringe every time I see that commercial, but that’s only because of what I know about nutrition now.
When I was growing up, everyone ate butter on all their vegetables. We ate a lot of carbohydrates (once called starches), flavored things with lard, and loved red meat. Our idea of having a bowl of ice-cream was to scoop out about a fourth of a half gallon container, add chocolate, whip cream, and nuts! Mmmm.
We’ve learned so much about nutrition as a nation over the last twenty-five years and yet, our nation is plagued with obesity and weight related disease. Here’s what I want to share about nutrition:
1. You can change your eating habits one small change at a time.
2. You must actively seek out information on nutrition – become a student of nutrition. Think of food as
fuel for your body.
3. No matter what you eat, you must know and only eat a nutritionally acceptable portion size.
Ok. So if nutrition is so important, why don’t diets work? The other half of the equation is moving your body. Yes, you’ve got to get some type of exercise to burn off the calories you’re taking in. Even if you ate the perfect amount of calories to sustain your current weight, exercise is a necessary component of a healthy and fit lifestyle. Did you know that if you took in just an extra 90 calories per day (the amount in one cup of skim milk) that you will gain over nine pounds in a year?
You’ve probably heard that muscle burns fat and that muscle weighs more than fat and thus takes up less space. Your metabolism goes up when your muscle mass goes up. This means you will burn more calories during the course of a day doing nothing other than your normal body functions. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you’ve got to replace fat with muscle.
Our caloric intake and expenditure requires a delicate balance. During the first 60 days of P90X, I was losing inches and building muscle. I was eating about 600 calories a day more than was required for my basic metabolic processes. I learned that it was critical for me to workout when I was taking in these extra 600 calories or I could actually gain weight.
After feeling better about the intense workouts I was doing, I wanted to lose a few pounds. What could I do? I really couldn’t increase the frequency or intensity of my exercise routine. After all, Tony Horton was already kicking my butt!
I went to the Beachbody Club website to learn what I could about weight loss. I found a cool calculator that takes into consideration three things: gender, current weight, and my activity level. I entered my gender and weight. Then, I selected the P90X program. I learned that I needed to trim my eating plan by 800 calories per day to start seeing weight loss. I did that and the pounds started to melt away.
Girls, not all charts are made the same. The gender variance made a big difference for me. I’m so glad that I found this tool. It’s one of the weight loss tools available to you as a club member. It was a turning point for me. I was so excited about it that I wanted to share this turning point with my readers…another little nugget from Just Get Me Fit.
P90X Yoga X – Storm & Calm
What is it that keeps me coming back to Yoga X, a grueling 92 minutes of P90X extreme training? Is it the sweat that pours from my forehead and drips from my chin? Is it the challenge of completing a push up before going into each downward facing dog? Maybe it’s the thrill of making it through the first 45 minutes of the routine which seems more like cardio than any yoga I’ve ever done.
Yoga X is based on hatha yoga. If you think yoga is easy, you better be prepared to sweat! The first time I did this routine, I was wiped out after about the first 20 minutes. I followed the mantra of trainer Tony Horton who reminds us in each session of P90X to do our best and forget the rest.
This is one of the love/hate routines of P90X. As you focus on each breath and try to work through the discomfort of the pose, you’re secretly trying to watch the timer to see how much time is left in the strenuous pose. When you’ve completed the full routine, however, your whole body is transformed into a relaxed, fully stretched and peaceful state. Oh, it feels so good.
I look forward to Yoga X the day after I do a weight lifting routine because I know I’ll get a good stretch on the muscle tears I formed doing strength training exercised. It’s better than a hot tub for relieving back aches or a massage chair for relaxing the body.
I still struggle with pull ups, and I still struggle with a couple of the poses in Yoga X. That’s ok – I do my best, forget the rest. Over time, I get stronger, more flexible and better able to hold difficult yoga poses.
As with all the P90X workouts, the basic form is demonstrated and then, variations of the exercise are introduced so you can modify to better fit your fitness level. I like the fact that I can always relate to someone in the video. It’s nice to see a super athletic fitness professional float through the moves like there’s no struggle at all, but I relate more to the guy in the gray shorts who shakes in almost every move. He’s my hero. If he can do, I can keep on trying.
So what yoga moves are difficult for me? I’d have to say that the hardest two moves for me are the half moon and crane. I keep trying the half moon sequence. I can feel the stretch in my hamstrings, back, and glutes. I stumble. I fall. I try again. As for the crane, I’m not ashamed to say I do child’s pose in place of crane. I take a mini break rather than fighting against gravity to hold my body up on my elbows.
My favorite part of this Beachbody workout is the “Yoga Belly Seven”. It comes at the end of the routine right before the cool down series. Maybe knowing that the end is near is what keeps me looking forward to reaching this point? It’s not because it feels exhilarating while you’re doing these seven yoga exercises for the abs. My abs burn more during and after doing yoga abs exercises than working them at the gym on abdominal machines, using an ab roller, ab rocker, medicine ball or just doing crunches.
Like most people, I’ve tried a lot of ab exercise machines. I’d take Yoga Belly Seven over those machines any day. And if you really want to work your abs, try the P90X Ab Ripper X. It takes your abs to a new level. Of course you wouldn’t want to do Ab Ripper on the same day you’re doing Yoga X. Once you do P90X Yoga X, I don’t think you’ll want to try Ab Ripper in the same day anyway.
You’ll want to sit back and enjoy the accomplishment of making it through this challenge extreme training routine. You’ll be doing a cardiovascular, strength training, muscle toning, lean gaining, flexibility, core and ab burning, calming exercise routine. You’ll come to love those 92 minutes even if you don’t make it through the workout the first time you push play. Yoga X is definitely one of those routines you’ll want to rant and rave about on the community message boards.
Oh by the way, you can join our Beachbody community and use the message forums for free. It’s a great way to meet people who are doing the same routines as you. We encourage each other and listen to each other as we’re having a hard time. The message boards help you have accountability to stick with your program even when “life” tries to get in the way.
I found a forum that was starting for P90X at about the same time I was starting. This was set up for women in particular. I personally enjoy the understanding and support that comes from other women. We sure talked about Yoga X. We complained about the length of the routine and that it was too hard. Slowly, we worked through our rants and started posting raves…made it through Yoga X, it’s getting better. I truly believe that the message boards set Beachbody workouts apart from any other program available.
If you’re ready to start the P90X Extreme Training System and challenge yourself with Yoga X, I’m ready to help you define and meet your fitness goals as your personal coach. You can get your 13 DVD set here, but if you want to save 10% on your purchase, join the club. And, if you have an interest in helping other achieve their fitness goals, you might be interested in becoming a Beachbody coach yourself and saving 25% on all Beachbody products. Namaste.
Kenpo Karate Kicks Tips
Kenpo X is a favorite routine for many who are undergoing the challenging extreme home fitness program, P90X – a Beachbody workout with trainer Tony Horton. What’s not to love? Jabs, cross, hook, upercut…kicks, blocks, something different from the usual grueling workouts. That doesn’t mean this workout is for beginners. The kicks alone can make your hips and butt hurt for a couple of days.
I enjoy this workout as much as any other fan of P90X, but I struggled with the back kick. It just didn’t seem right when I attempted this move. For weeks, I just kept trying. I kept doing my best. I kept moving. I focused on this move because it was hard for me.
Then, Tony’s words just hit me one day. He used the phrase “mule kick.” It hit me! The form should be more like the kick of a horse, donkey, cow, or mule. The form should feel more like the kick back machine at the gym that is designed to work the glutes. The difference is the back kick should drive with the heel of the foot. I’m sure if I made contact with anything or anyone, the ball of my foot or toes would be what was hitting.
I gave this some thought and realized that I was doing the same thing on my front kick. I’d certainly break a toe the way I was kicking! I felt silly envisioning myself kicking someone and then, falling to the ground because I’d either broken a toe or had been flipped by my opponent because I threw such a pansy, soft kick.
The key to kicks in Kenpo Karate and
Speaking of Wesley, observe how he leans away from the direction of the kick. The further you lean your body away from your kick, the higher you can get your kick. The fitness manual for
This workout is about cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, balance, strenth training, toning, and focusing. The routine starts out slowly and builds momentum as you learn the moves. It’s just under 56 minutes, including the warm up and cool down. And, I’ve read nothing but positive comments from men and women on this routine. Hats off Tony! This is one of our favorites!
What Rocks Your World? Working Out Music
“We whistle while we work…” The Seven Dwarfs never got tired of singing the same old song. As for me, I like variety when it comes to music and workouts. I know I can’t be the only one who’s tired of listening to the same old music in the gym, on fitness walks, and on my exercise dvds?
What would you like to hear? How about a little country, classic rock or R&B for a change? You don’t have to listen to dance music or the oldies to get a good workout. You don’t have to listen to hard rock or pop. You just might want to try something inspiration like gospel or perhaps throw in something motivational from Brian Tracey or Jim Rohn.
I’ve found that different forms of audio help me focus on the routine at hand. I learned this secret from walking with fitness CDs. I’d keep a nice steady pace while listening to the upbeat music and listening to the trainer encourage me to set goals and keep moving. When doing cardio dvds, I did well with both dance music and the oldies. For yoga, it always seemed to be some new age music that I’d never listen to on my car radio. At the gym, I preferred Metallica and AC/DC, but of course the gym never plays hard rock.
It really wasn’t until I started working out with the Beachbody workout P90X that I realized that I could decide what music I wanted to hear. I could listen to whatever motivated me, kept me focused or even inspired me.
The P90X Extreme Home Fitness dvds allow you to listen to music and cues dubbed for the program, but you also have some options. You can turn off the music and just listen to the cues to move from one exercise to the next. You also have the option of turning off the music and the cues. These options give you a lot ways to customize your program.
In the beginning of my P90X journey, I listened to the music and cues on all 13 dvds until I had the routines down pretty well. Then, I started experimenting. I turned off the music and listened to some relaxing flute music or ocean sounds while doing yoga. I tried the Chest, Shoulder, & Tri routine with the 22 themes of 007 blaring in our loft. (Don’t laugh. That really is a good cd to drown out the world and keep your blood flowing!)
Most recently, I tried something totally different. I listened to an audiobook while doing Chest & Biceps. Please don’t try this until you can do your routine with your eyes closed. Listening to words is different than listening to music. You have to focus somewhat on the audio to comprehend what you’re hearing. If you don’t have your routine down yet, this might take too much focus off your exercise session which may affect your performance or make you more prone to injury.
Of course, there are days when I just listen to my favorite music on my ipod. I’m usually walking when the ipod earphones are on. I prefer the freedom of stereo speakers when I’m doing my Beachbody workouts at home. There’s nothing like the adrenaline you feel when the stereo is too loud and no one’s at home to remind you.
Experiment a little and see what works for you. Music is our universal language. Be inspired. Get motivated to move. Feel peace and serenity. Focus. Energize. Perform at your best. Turn it on. Turn it up. Work in silence or at the lowest volume. Let music enhance your workouts. Let music rock your world.
Plyometrics Jump Training Not For Everyone
I talked about interval training in an earlier post and Shaun T’s upcoming Insanity program that incorporates MAX interval training. Well, I thought about interval training a lot today as I worked my way through the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Plyometrics DVD.
I remember being overwhelmed the first time I pressed play on plyometrics day. It was day number two. I was feeling my workout from the previous day (Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X). I hoped I had what it would take to do the whole 90 day program. Tony Horton started talking about something called “plyometrics” or “jump training.” He went on to say that plyometrics was designed to increase speed, strength, and sports performance. Ok, I thought. I can handle that.
I didn’t make it through my first plyo workout. I wondered if I had made a mistake. I decided to take Tony’s advice and keep pressing play, give it my best and…forget the rest. Then, he’d really push me harder by saying you can do anything for thirty seconds. Believe it or not, that was enough to keep me going. I’m much better at plyometrics these days, but there are a couple of moves that are still very difficult for me, and I can always count on a workout that maintains a high heart rate.
The plyometrics session is just over 58 minutes. It’s no joke! It works in a series of four exercises that repeat themselves followed by a short (30 second) active break. The first three exercises are usually 30 seconds long and the fourth one is 60 seconds with a higher intensity. Once you work through one series of exercises two times, a new series is introduced which kicks up the volume a little. Sweat pours off every square inch of your body.
Plyometrics follows the philosophy of all Beachbody workouts. It uses real people in the DVD, not perfect models. There’s always someone in the video you can watch as a mentor. Some participants are extreme and can jump high and wide. Other participants are more like me and typical family members – giving it their best and forgeting the rest.
The hardest two exercises in plyometrics for me are the Jump Knee Tuck and Rock Star Hop. The Jump Knee Tuck requires you to jump vertically, pulling your knees in towards your chest. It sounds easy, but the execution if far from easy!
The Rock Star Hop is a variation of the Jump Knee Tuck. You don’t bring your knees to your chest in the jump move. Instead, you kick your feet to your butt like a “rock star” strumming down on an electric guitar. I’ve got to say that the Rock Star Hop is more entertaining whether you’re doing it or watching someone else do it.
Plyometrics jump training may not be for everyone, but if you want to get some high intensity cardio interval training, you’ve got to add plyometrics to your routine. If you have any questions about plyometrics or any of the P90X Extreme Home Fitness DVDs, don’t hesitate to ask. My best advice for plyometrics? Don’t give up before the miracle and keep pressing play. You’re going to grow to love this extreme workout.
Wii Fit Fun. P90X Powerful.
We had some friends over last night, and they brought over their Wii Fit system. We had a blast trying to knock each other out in the boxing program, but our competitive spirits really came out when we went bowling. I never imagined that I’d ever be bowling with an electronic remote!
I thought back to my thirteenth birthday. My mom presented me with a green bowling ball. She had my name engraved on it, and the holes were drilled for my fingers. I was thrilled. My mom, my two sisters and me were on a bowling league and bowled a couple of times a week. I don’t think I ever got great at it, but it reminded me yet again how my activity level changed as I got older. I could probably count on one hand how many times I’ve been bowling in the last five years.
I’m glad Wii Fit is getting people active. It’s nice to see family and friends playing together again. If I owned a Wii Fit system, however, I’m afraid it would gather dust next to our X-Box in the guest bedroom closet. It’s a fun gaming system, but I don’t think it’s a fitness program that I could follow for any length of time.
I need a plan that keeps me heading toward my fitness targets. I need a challenge, something that keeps me motivated and consistent. For me, it’s been the Beachbody P90X Extreme Home Fitness DvDs. 13 challenging DVDs, workouts that last from 45-92 minutes, and a trainer that pushes me are some of the reasons it works for me. I think it’s also the three phase nutrition system and three phase muscle confusion workout plan that brings results.
The P90X Extreme Home Fitness Nutrition Plan booklet has the following subtitle: Eating For Power Performance. You really don’t understand that sentence until you see how many calories you actually have to eat for performance results. Every other plan I’ve tried has cut calories. I’ve never tried something that was hard for me to follow because I had to eat so much!
The nutrion plan booklet is 113 pages in length. It includes the option of portion control or the meal plan approach depending upon whether you want to follow a laid out menu or design your own menu using portion counts of protein, carbs, veggies, fruits, fats, dairy, condiments, and snacks.
The P90X Extreme Home Fitness Fitness Guide (subtitled Extreme Training System), is 100 pages in length. Not only does it lay out what DVD to do each day, it also spells out each exercise and how to do each one. This allows you to take the guide to the gym or on a trip with you when you want to do you Beachbody workout but won’t have access to a DVD player.
One other thing I thought was amazing about the workout guide is you can choose one of three carefully designed 90 day routines within the P90X system. The “Classic P90X” is a basic boot camp that is pretty well evenly dividing between cardio and strength training. Although the authors call this the starting point, you’d better pass the fit test before you take on P90X. Depending on your fitness level, you may want to start with another program such as Power90.
The second routine that’s available if you’re absolutely crazy or at a fitness level that demands even more than the classic is “P90X Doubles.” This routine is the same as the classic for the first thirty days. Days 31-60 add three more cardios per week in addition to the normal workouts. Days 61-90 up the additional cardios from three to four. I tried this routine and had to back down. It was just too much for me at my current fitness level to do 45 minutes of cardio in the morning and a 55 minute strength training workout in the evening.
The third and final routine is called “P90X Lean.” This workout is designed with more cardio and less resistence training for maximum weight loss. We have a few friends who are getting ready to try this version. I’ll have to keep you posted on their results.
The makers of P90X realize that one size does not fit all. Each person must assess both their current physical condition and their fitness goals before embarking on any new fitness program. This variety has had an interested side affect. Many people who graduate from P90X do it again! They want to try another version of the program or give their body a break and then, start in with the muscle confusion again.
I’ll write more about muscle confusion this week. If you’ve tried P90X or Wii Fit, tell us what you think. You can try P90X or any other Beachbody Workout with a 30 day money back guarantee. Who else does that?
Still Struggling with Pull Ups
What a beautiful day! It was sunny in Virginia – one of those days where you just want to get out and do something. So, I got out of bed early and ate a bowl of oatmeal with walnuts. I’ve found that to be one of the best combinations for giving me sustained energy in the morning. After discussing a few options with my partner over a cup of coffee, we decided to take our dogs for a walk and then, ride our motorcycles over to the gym for a workout.
Today was supposed to be my Beachbody P90X Chest and Back workout. I wanted to do a varied version of it at the YMCA though because I still cannot do pull ups. I used the assisted pull up station at the gym and was able to get a good burn throughout my back. Tony Horton, the trainer in the P90X Extreme Home Fitness DVDs program, demonstrates how to use resistance bands to simulate pull ups and how to use a chair for assisted pull ups. I’ve been working on these techniques, but many women just have trouble getting up over the bar.
I found an interesting article last month in Women’s Health Magazine. It was a four step article on how to do a pull up by doing things like increasing the amount of time you can keep your chin above the bar in a static hold and doing pull up negatives. Negatives are when you start above the bar and slowly lower your body down to keep tension on your back muscles. I tried these techniques, but I think I get the most work on my back when I use the assisted pull up machine at the gym.
Why is it that women have such difficulty with pull ups? Even as our upper body strength increases, we still seem to struggle with pulling our body weight above the bar. I’ve theorized that it is because most of us store our body weight between our knees and our belly button. This centers our weight at the bottom and may affect our lifting leverage. Ok, that’s my theory. Someday, I hope to conquer this thing called pull ups…even if it’s just one.
After the gym, we were incredibly hungry. We stopped at a local restaurant to have a delicious dish – Mango Talpia. If you haven’t tried it – wow! It was nice to have a healthy meal out. We spent the rest of the day riding along the Colonial Parkway in Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s really pretty this time of year.
Tonight, I plan on doing P90X Yoga X. I feel like I need a good stretch after the chest and back workout, especially after spending so much time working on pull ups. I can do most of the Yoga X routine, but I still struggle with the advanced moves. It’s really cool to see how far I’ve come in 60 days though. In the beginning, I never dreamed I’d be able to complete P90X Yoga X Dvd. The first time I did it, I had to turn it off after about thirty minutes. Now, it’s one of my favorite programs because I kept pressing play.
Oh, I’ve got to squeeze in P90X Ab Ripper X sometime this evening. I saved this one for home because I knew there was no way I could get the abs burn at the gym like I get using my Ab Ripper X Dvd.
Mary Kay to Top Beachbody Coach
Erica Falcon, Top Mary Kay Director, finds true calling through Beachbody Slim in 6 program.
Coach’s Diary: P90X Extreme Home Fitness!
Hello! Welcome to my coach’s diary. I’m Julie Butts, and I’m an Independent Beachbody Coach.
Tomorrow, I will celebrate Day 60 of my Beachbody P90X 90 Days of Extreme Home Fitness! What does that mean? It’s time to get out the measuring tape and digital camera again. It’s time to set new goals and to adjust my exercise and eating routines. It’s time to BRING IT!
I hope you’ll follow me in my fitness journey as I seek to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. I want to share my experiences with you because I’ve learned that a support system is one of the biggest factors in staying consistent. You can have all the knowledge in the world about eating right and exercising, but if you’re not consistent, you’ll probably get the same results I did – mediocre at best. (Read my personal bio and transformation story to learn more.)
Through the Beachbody P90X Xtreme Fitness DVD program and the support I received from WOWY, the Beachbody forums, and my personal coach, I’ve taken my fitness to a new level. I’m so consistent now that I get up early to do a workout if I think I’m going to have a busy day that might interfere. I even hate missing a workout because I’m not feeling well. I guess you could say I’m hooked. Somthing special is happening, and it’s happening to me!
