Wow! What an Amazing 7 Years!

Today is a special day for me.  Seven years ago today, I started my very first Beachbody workout!  I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and knew I had to do something.  I was getting strep throat pretty much on a monthly basis, was always missing work, and could barely take care of my family.  It was then that I saw an infomercial for Slim in 6 and decided to give it a try!  It changed my life!  I can't even begin to describe the difference it made.  My husband and I both started together and finished out the 6 weeks.  We joined a great support group on the Beachbody Message Boards and followed the meal plans 100% for the entire 6 weeks.  The results were amazing!  I dropped from a size 12 to a size 6!!!  I felt better, had more energy, and stopped getting sick so often.  I was hooked!  We've been using Beachbody programs and nutritionals ever since, and we even both became Team Beachbody Coaches with the goal of helping others get the same results as us.  It really has been an amazing 7 years and I'm so thankful for this company, the fantastic products they offer, the amazing people we've friended along the way, and the great business opportunity Beachbody now offers.  I've seen my fitness level change drastically, my health improve like I never could have imagined, and now even my coaching income increase!  Why wait another day?  Come along with me on this amazing journey and join Team Beachbody!  You can join as a FREE member which would give you me as your free personal coach, or you can join as a Team Beachbody Club Member which will give you access to the entire site including the meal planner and recipes and fitness tools as well as 10% off all products, or you can join as a Team Beachbody Coach which gives you complete access to the site PLUS 25% discount off all products, PLUS a chance to earn commissions and bonuses!  So what are you waiting for?  I'm glad I didn't put it off once I heard about Beachbody!  Join today!  What have you got to lose? (besides weight, inches, poor health...)

What's Your Workout Style?

At our weekly Ladies' Fit Club on our island, I've been throwing in some new and challenging workouts from time to time.  Today was one of those times.  I had the ladies try out Insanity's Fast and Furious!  The mixed responses I received after the workout was interesting.  Some absolutely LOVED it!  Others hated it!  It got me to thinking how really, everyone has different workout styles/interests.  That's the beauty of Team Beachbody and their fantastic products.  There literally is something for everyone!  There's beginner workouts, advanced workouts, and everything in between!  There's workouts designed for kids and workouts designed for the elderly.  There's cardio focused workouts and resistance focused workouts.  If you haven't ever browsed through the selection of workouts out there, click HERE to check it all out.  And to get a 25% discount off all products and a chance to earn an income as well, email me for more info.

Get Back on the Wagon!

I've had a lot going on in my life the last couple of weeks.  And yes, I've missed some workouts.  Am I going to let it get me down and throw in the towel?  NOPE!  Things are getting back to normal and I can focus on my workouts once again.  It's time to get back on the wagon!  I MADE myself get up this morning and push play to Insanity Plyometrics Cardio Circuit.  And it felt great!  Great to be back on track!  Am I going to beat myself up for the workouts missed?  NO!  Life happens and there are times where there are other things that take priority.  This is when you need to remember that fitness is not just a 6-week or 3-month fix.  It's the lifestyle change that counts - implementing fitness and health into your daily life from now on!  Trust me, it's SO worth it!  So jump back into your workouts, or start something new, or just get outside and take a walk - do something to get moving! 
Not sure where to start?  I can coach you for free!  Just click this link here to join the free Team Beachbody Community.

It's Time to Celebrate!!!

What are we celebrating?  Someone has a birthday!  SHAKEOLOGY!!!!   This month we celebrate two years of the Healthiest Meal of the Day! 
If you've never tried Shakeology before, now's the time to give it a try!  If you contact me with your mailing address, I will mail you a free sample packet of Shakeology to try for FREE, your choice of flavors, either Chocolate or Greenberry.  Samples are available to the first 24 to contact me!
In a research study done with Shakeology, major health improvements were seen almost immediately!  It was found to improve digestion and regularity, reduce cravings, increase energy and stamina, increase weight loss (an average loss of 10 lbs. and 2 inches off waist in a 12 week study), improve mental clarity, reduce risk for heart disease and other degenerative diseases, lower cholesterol on average by 30% (and some up to 70%!), and even improve skin, hair, and nail condition.  And guess what?  Team Beachbody will let you try it for 30 days, and if you decide you don't feel the results, you can have your money back (less shipping and handling)!  So what have you got to lose?  For more info on this 'health in a glass', go to www.MyShakeology.com/sueannk or just click here to order!

New Year's Resolutions in March?

Ok, so this isn’t the time of year we typically make New Year’s Resolutions, because, well, it’s NOT New Year’s. But realistically, how many of those New Year’s Resolutions made in January are down the drain by February? We’re usually caught up in finishing out the holidays, starting a new year and all the ‘stuff’ that goes along with that, and pretty much just plain a little too overzealous in setting these resolutions to really follow through. Most people don’t last the first week of January and then just throw in the towel and say forget it! So, why not make those resolutions NOW, before the year’s half over, but now that we’re past the craziness of Christmas and New Year’s. So light up some sparklers and start humming Auld Lang Syne if it helps, and let’s get started! 
  1. Set some goals!!! Good place to start, huh? Ok, let’s make these goals challenging, yet attainable. If you say, “I’m going to lose 75 lbs. by June!”, well, it probably just isn’t going to happen. Set smaller, more attainable goals. And remember that success isn’t always measured by the scale!
  2. Have a plan! Just making a goal isn’t going to get you there; you have to have a plan to get you going. If you’re new to exercise, I recommend starting out with a workout program such as Slim in 6 or Power 90. If you’re already in reasonable shape, you may want to try something like P90X (my personal favorite!), Insanity (I’m taking on this one starting next month!), or TurboFire. Or come up with a walking or running schedule and add in some resistance training a couple of times a week. Your options are limitless! If you need help coming up with a plan, contact me! I can coach you for FREE and help you get started.
  3. Tell the world! Ok, maybe not the WHOLE world, but at least the part you are involved in. Let your family know, your friends know, your dog, your cat, the checkout guy at the grocery store, well, you get the picture. Letting people know your intentions will help you stick with it! You’re a whole lot more likely to stick with your plan and meet your goals if you’ve announced it to others who are going to be watching to see if you follow through.
  4. Get started! Don’t put it off another day! Today is the day to take control of your health! Contact me TODAY if you need help! Order that fitness program or Shakeology TODAY! Throw out the junk in the house TODAY! Grab your running shoes and head outside TODAY! Whatever it is you’ve decided on, get started! Don’t wait!
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
