Feedback

So, as the new year progresses I am still determined to bring you more content, update my pages, etc. with content being my #1 priority. My pages just make it easier to see what I have to offer as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, but you can always access that information by going straight to my Beachbody Coach website. So, as I'm brainstorming to bring consistent content it crossed my mind that I'd like to know what YOU would like? What kind of content would you like to see? More of my personal journey (which I'll share anyway, but I mean MORE of it), vlogs (video blogs), pictures, fitness related educational post, nutrition related educational posts, etc.?? I'd like to know! Please leave a comment and let me know what YOU would like to see! :)

Tropical Shakeology is almost here!

Here it comes! The much anticipated Tropical Shakeology will be available for purchase on Valentine's Day ~ February 14th in both the 30-day bag and 24 packet box. I've learned a lot more about it since the idea was first introduced!

Tropical Shakeology Facts:

Tropical Shakeology is vegan. It's a blend of strawberry, banana, pineapple, papaya and coconut along with all of the other WHOLE FOOD ingredients that make this one of the BEST whole food supplements that you will find on the market.

Tropical Shakeology, like the current Chocolate & Greenberry, was created with much time and effort and careful consideration to produce a synergy between all of the ingredients. It is vegan, soy-free, and it contains plant based proteins. It provides a natural energy which in turn helps to reduce cravings and aid in weight loss. It's loaded with anti-oxidants, essential amino acids and is more easily digested. For people who may have had an aversion or digestive upset with Chocolate and Greenberry Shakeology, Tropical is free of most micro-allergens and should be suitable for most people.

The protein source derives from raw sprouted brown rice. It's germinated for easier digestion and better absorption. This is a very complex protein source that has taken about 10 years to assimilate in this complete form. It incorporates the amino acids found in the bran (outer shell), endosperm and germ. This provides all 9 essential amino acids. There is also protein derived from the quinoa, spirulina, chia, amaranth and sacha inchi that are incorporated into the ingredients. This unique blend of plant based protein is not gritty like some other brown rice proteins. It has a smooth, creamy texture that really compliments the taste.

There are no added vitamin or mineral isolates. Tropical Shakeology is comprised of whole, natural foods. It relies solely on the vitamins & minerals that occur naturally in the whole foods. These ingredients are sourced directly from the farms. Darin Olien has traveled the world sustainably sourcing the purest ingredients from farms.



If you're ready to get started with Shakeology today Chocolate & Greenberry can be ordered now. Tropical Shakeology will be available on Valentine's Day. You can order all of your Shakeology here: on My Shakeology Site.

Don't forget to sign up for your FREE Team Beachbody account for my Coaching support and to connect to others just like you for help, support, guidance, and coming soon - recipes for the Tropical Shakeology! Once you have your account up and running ordering is made easy! You can order all your fitness needs and Shakeology through your account! :)

New Performance Product!

I am so excited because Beachbody now has a new Pre-workout formula! I know, I know I need to update my pages on my site as well! I'll be working on that! But I wanted to give a spotlight to this because it's new AND because I really am excited about it!! Why am I so excited? Well, if you've checked out most of my website (or you personally know me) you know that I have Fibromyalgia with Chronic Fatigue - a chronic pain disorder with, yes, chronic fatigue. I've have been feeling great since starting Shakeology just over a year ago! In fact, I was able to stop taking all of the pain medications for it BECAUSE of it! In persistent education - and recommendation of a friend who also has Fibromyaliga - I also added a D-Ribose supplement daily. SO - I am SUPER excited that the new Pre-workout formula has D-Ribose along with other natural energy boosters like B vitamins! Read more about the benefits and what D-Ribose is Here And who doesn't need a good boost before a workout - that isn't loaded with junk? I know I can always benefit from one! Get all the info on Team Beachbody! I think this is a perfect compliment to the nutritional supplements offered by Beachbody, and I'm excited to try it myself!

Routine

Routine really is important in SO many ways. It's important not just in health and fitness but life in general! If you have kids you are probably reminded of it every day!

So what role does routine play in your life as it pertains to health and fitness? Let's start with nutrition and eating habits! Most people know the importance of quality and quantity when it comes to nutrition. What are you eating and how much? But what about WHEN? Do you know the significance of WHEN? Our metabolism functions better when there is a routine. I, personally, set a meal schedule on my phone to remind me! I can't tell you how many times busy people say they forget to eat! Not only are you depriving your body of necessary fuel, but you're also causing your metabolism to be sluggish! Did you know you should eat every 2-3 hours? Yes! 2-3 hours. Call the meals in between breakfast, lunch, and dinner "snacks" if you'd like, but call them something and make sure you eat them! I know you're busy, and I have so many people tell me they absolutely can't eat every 2-3 hours. My question is - why not? I Homeschool and have 3 kids under age 6, and I schedule all meals (5 meals total) right into our daily schedule every day! It takes 10 minutes to look over your schedule and find a place to schedule a 5-10 min meal break in! Maybe it's some fruits or veggies, a handful of walnuts, or a protein bar - it doesn't have to be elaborate, but you have to make it count! You'll notice you'll have increased energy, better focus, and if you've been struggling with losing a few pounds you'll notice it comes off easier! So take some time to make a meal schedule!

Here is my meal schedule (as an example - do what works for YOUR schedule!)
Meal 1: 8:30am
Meal 2: 10:30am
Meal 3: 12:30pm
Meal 4: 3:30pm
Meal 5: 6:00pm

As with anything there are "off days" like tomorrow our youngest son has a Dr appt at 8:30am, so we will have to eat (and wake up) sooner. I still keep it as my guideline, though, because most days it works for us! So if you don't have a current meal schedule I encourage you to take some time to make one this week - and please share! :-)

So what about a fitness routine? Maybe you prefer to workout before work, before the kids wake up, in the middle of the day, after the kids go to bed, etc. You will hear many people comment on advantages and disadvantages of working out at certain times. THAT is a different topic. I would rather know I've made a schedule I can stick to rather than trying to squeeze my workouts into a perfect box of a time frame that just doesn't work for me! But the one thing I encourage you to do is get it on the calendar! If you're doing one of Beachbody's awesome programs you can log into your Team Beachbody Account and they can be pre-scheduled in the WOWY Online Super Gym! Voila! Your schedule is all laid out! Even if a pre-schedule isn't available or perhaps you're doing a different program or routine you can still schedule your workouts in advance to the calendar on your Team Beachbody Account! (If you don't have one you can set one up for free from my page - or just ask me how! No matter how you choose to make your fitness schedule just make it! It's easier to commit when it is there! Don't just let it be a "task" on your to-do list - "workout today." NO! Give EACH workout a day & time scheduled right into your daily calendar!

Do you see where I'm going with the keeping a daily calendar thing? Why? Because it is good for your life all around! Get your meals on track, get your workouts scheduled in, and know what is happening when so you can commit to that schedule! If you know you work from 9-5 every week day that is in your calendar and doesn't change! Commit to your physical wellness like that and you'll be glad you did! Be blessed!

Happy New Year!

I'm not usually one to make resolutions, but I'm making one now to update and add content to the site more often! I bet you thought it was going to be a health and fitness one, didn't you? ;-)

OF COURSE I have health and fitness goals for the new year, so I guess ultimately that's a resolution, too! The truth is since our move from the Washington DC area down to Fort Hood, TX I DID get out of routine - ALL routine! I haven't been having meals on my usual schedule, and my workouts have been sporadic! I'm human, and I slipped! So now I can either dwell on it and get down on myself or take it as a lesson and get back to routine! So get back to routine I will! I'm starting P90X2 on Monday as well as picking up homeschooling with the kids again on Monday! ALL breaks are over! It's also going to get our household overall back onto a routine - including meal times! I've been feeling tired and sluggish, and I know that's why! Especially with Fibromyalgia it's easy to fall into that trap, but I NEED to get back into routine, and I know my energy levels will pick back up, too!

My health & fitness goals for 2012 (in addition to getting back in routine):

* Lose 10 lbs
* Tone up
* Work out at least 5 times a week (and log all workouts live in WOWY)
* Successfully complete P90X2
* Successfully complete Couch to 5K
* Participate in at least two 5Ks
* Build strength
* Cut down on meat and dairy
* Cut down or eliminate food dyes, artificial sweeteners (sucralose & aspartame), and gluten
* Get my children involved in physical activity and good nutrition

Health & Fitness Related Business Goals:

* Get involved with a Fit Club and connect to other Beachbody Coaches in our new area
* Continue to lend support to my clients and contact them frequently
* Obtain a certification in Nutrition
* Become a Certified Personal Trainer

So what are YOUR health and fitness goals for 2012? I'm here for support - to push you, encourage you, workout with you (even if it's only online), connect with you, and truly listen to you! I WANT to help, but I can't help if I don't know what you need! Please don't hesitate to contact me! :-)

I hope 2012 brings you many blessings!

P90X2™ FAQ
Q. What happens if I don't pre-order?
A. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee you'll be able to get a copy of P90X2 before 2012 if you don't pre-order now.

Q. How is P90X2 different from P90X®?
A. Consider P90X2 the next wave in applied science for body transformation. Like P90X®, it's a complete 90-day program, but with all-new, cutting-edge workouts grounded in the most modern thinking in sports science. It takes the principles of the P90X® concept and cranks up the intensity with exercises that demand every ounce of your balance, agility, core strength, and athleticism.

Q. When will P90X2 be available?
A. December, 2011. (Note: a Spanish language version will be available in January 2012.)

Q. What's included in P90X2?
A. P90X2 Base Kit:
• 12 workouts on 13 DVDs or 4 Blu-ray discs
• Fitness Guide
• Nutrition Guide
• 90-day Workout Calendar

P90X2 Deluxe Kit:
• Includes everything in the P90X2 Base Kit, plus:
• 2 Bonus Advanced P90X2 Workouts
• 1 Foam Roller
• 1 55cm Premium Stability Ball

P90X2 Ultimate Kit:
• Includes everything in the P90X2 Base Kit, plus:
• 2 Bonus Advanced P90X2 Workouts
• 1 Pro-Grade Foam Roller
• 1 55cm Premium Stability Ball
• 2 8-lb Medicine Balls

Q. Is there a Coach / Team Beachbody® exclusive offer for P90X2?
A. Yes, you get two FREE DVD workouts: P90X One on One: 4 Legs, and P90X One on One: Upper Body Balance when you order from me, your Coach

Q. How do I order P90X2?
A. Go to P90X2 Pre-order

Q. What types of exercises are in the program?
A. Phase One focuses on your foundation. It includes X2 Core, which works the core using instability; X2 Balance & Power, which incorporates strength and explosive movements; and more.
Phase Two focuses on strength with workouts like Plyocide, combining explosive movements with mind and coordination drills; Chest, Back & Balance, the mega pump of P90X Chest & Back with the addition of unstable platforms.
Phase Three focuses on performance. It includes P.A.P. Lower and P.A.P. Upper, two separate workouts using a cutting-edge training technique used by some of the fittest athletes on the planet. These are a series of repeated movements or "complexes" that will absolutely destroy you.

Q. What equipment do I need?
A. All you need to do P90X2 is a couple of dumbbells or resistance bands, a place to do pull-ups, and about an hour a day. A pro grade stability ball, two 8-lb. medicine balls, and a foam roller are strongly recommended, too.

Q. What if I want a less strenuous program?
A. If you decide you aren't ready to tackle P90X2 yet but still want to get in great shape fast, we recommend starting with a less extreme program, such as 10-Minute Trainer® or Power 90®. Beachbody® offers a wide variety of incredible fitness programs for all levels and goals, so you're sure to find the one that's right for you.

Q. I subscribed to P90X® ONE on ONE Volume 3. How do I place my order?
A. You can call customer service at 1 (800) 470-7870. Tell the service representative that you purchased ONE on ONE Volume 3 and you'll be given further details.

Year. They will also receive FREE shipping and handling (up to a $40 value), as well as an automatic sweepstakes entry to win exclusive prizes and a shot
to be featured in a future P90X2™ infomercial!
