  • Get Fit with Julie

    Hi. I'm Julie, and I’m an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. I help people define and reach their fitness goals with Beachbody workouts such as 90X, ChaLEAN Extreme and Insanity! And for a select few customers who want to run their own fitness business, I help guide them to success.

What Supports Your Fitness Goals?

By On June 30, 2009 Under To My Friends

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.

Me & My Sisters Having Fun at Our Family Reunion

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.
