Take Care of Your Midsection! It Is Important!

Why should you care about core training? Training your core will result in incredible benefits in a short amount of time. I work out consistently, but I have to confess that sometimes I don’t work my core as much as I should. Having a flat tummy doesn’t mean you have a strong core. A strong core improves your posture, decreases your chance of back injury, increases your power and functionality, and gives you a great-looking lean midsection. Why core training is so popular lately? It is simple: sitting leads to a weak core. Think about your day? Do you drive to work? Do you work 8 hours or so at your desk and then drive for another 30 or 60 minutes? That is a lot of sitting! But even if you don’t sit a lot, if you don’t exercise your overall muscles, you will develop a weak core.

What to do? Find a fitness routine that will incorporate core training. It is important! Don’t let time pass you by.

PIYO Strength- Sculpt- Lower Body Segment

Strength training without weights for 30 minutes! This is what Piyo SCULPT is all about. You will work your entire body without lifting weights. You will be surprised that just by using your own body weight, you will get a challenging workout and great results. This is just a 2-minute sample of the lower body portion of it.

What is the Beachbody Challenge?

The Beachbody Challenge is a proven system of fitness, nutrition, and support that empowers you to achieve your health and fitness goals, and it rewards you with cash and prizes for doing so.

 I have different challenge groups happening every month and I would love to show you more information about them.
 Let's get started!

21 DAY FIX- 30-Minute Workouts, Portion Control System! February 3rd!

 
In two days this incredible program will be here! Yesterday I shared with you the incredible nutrition format that the 21 day Fix has to offer. The eating plan that comes with it is the magic bullet in the 21 Day Fix. You will find color-coded containers that will guarantee you consume the appropriate amount of calories. It will also guide you to consume the right nutrients your body needs.

Today I want to talk about the fitness portion of the 21 Day Fix. This program comes with 7 workouts and an additional 10 Minutes Abs Fix (I am looking forward to that!)

The workouts are 30 minutes each and most of the moves are divided in 1-minute intervals. You will get a serious burn at the end of that minute for sure!

You will need 2 sets of dumbbells or resistance bands.

It is simple fitness and simple nutrition! Learn more about this program and join my 21 Day Challenge Group starting on February 17th. I will be your FREE Coach and I will be with you through your entire journey.http://ift.tt/1fs6wae

Go Get It!

Go get it! Sometimes the only thing we need to do is to take the first step. Don't do it alone. 

My Hip Hop Abs Beachbody Challenger Maria won $1000!

I am SO proud of my Hip Hop Abs contestant Maria W. for following the plan, accomplishing her weight loss goal, and for being one of the Beachbody Challenge $1000 July 2013 winner. She purchased one of the amazing and effective Beachbody programs, she had a Coach (ME!!!), and she followed the fitness and nutrition plan provided. But Maria took one step forward; she entered the FREE Beachbody Challenge and she became accountable to her coach (Me!!) and she submitted her story to Beachbody. Now, Maria is a Beachbody Coach herself and she is helping other people get healthy and fit. Do you need some motivation to get your fitness path started? Or are you looking for a way to have a second income or a change in your career? Leave me a reply (or your email below), or contact me today and I will help you get started!

Do You know your Why in life?

Everyone wants to have a good day, but not many people know what a good day looks like – much less how to create one.- John Maxwell (Today Matters)

Do You know your Why in life? Do you know why you desire to get healthy and fit? Do you want to have good health and energy so you can fulfill God’s mission in your life? Everything starts with a day that has a purpose. Things will not just happen! Ask God for wisdom on how to plan your life, starting with a well planned TODAY. Your TODAY will impact your TOMORROW! Remember Proverbs 3:5-6 that says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Have a great day everybody!

My Les Mills Combat journey Day 32- POWER HIIT 1

I loved the variety of movements including, push ups, lunges, power lunges, squats with and without weights, sumo squats, inch-worm, planks, and the mountain climber (featured in this photo). I am looking forward to tomorrow’s workout. #LesMillsCombat #BeachbodyChallenge #Accountability #LesMillsPump #moretime #mixedmartialarts #thousandoaksfitness #brazilianjiujitsu #braziliancapoeira

My Journey-Day 2- LES MILLS COMBAT / POWER HIIT 1 and INNER WARRIOR: STRETCH AND STRENGTH

WOW! I was challenged! It was my first time doing this workout and I was pleasantly surprised that Power HIIT 1 included weight training. Lots of squats, dead rows, shoulder, push-ups, and core work. How can I forget the Power jumps and power lunges? Well, the good thing about this particular Challenge is that everyone can do it, giving you the choice to taylor it to your fitness level. Every DVD has someone modifying the movements so you can do everything low impact. I know some days will be better than others and I will have the choice to bring it "Down a Notch" if it is needed!
The reward was the INNER WARRIOR: STRETCH AND STRENGTH workout. Great 20 minutes getting my flexibility back. I confess that I don't do much stretching and I am glad that it is one of the components of this great Les Mills Combat workout.

Here is a little preview of What this workout is all about:

My Journey-Day 1- LES MILLS COMBAT / COMBAT 30: KICK START

Loved this workout!!!! The instructors Dan and Rachel are incredible! I love their accents (I felt right at home). The music is incredible and fun! The best way to be successful is to make sure to learn the movements. In the instructional DVD that comes with the program, Dan and Rachel break each movement to a simplicity that makes you understand what you are actually doing. The workout is a a blend of the most dynamic moves from karate, tae kwon do, boxing, muay thai/kickboxing, Brazilian capoeira, and Brazilian jiujitsu. http://youtu.be/CuTdiaD1SlI

I need your help too! Let’s be accountable to one another- Fitness Challenge!

I usually workout very early in the morning or late in the evening. I decided to get as much work done this morning and for this reason I postponed my workout to the afternoon. What a big mistake! My body was not ready to move at 2pm. I was tired, hot, huffing and puffing, or as my daughter said: "you were gasping, Mom." With all that going against me, I finished my workout. It was hard but I did it! I just want encourage you to keep on going even when you think you can't. If you have to take a break here and there, do it! Be encouraged to listen to your body. Some days are better than others, but everyday is a "perfect day" to workout. I am accountable to a couple of people that are doing my September Beachbody Challenge Groups. We check on each other via email, private groups, texting, etc.

 

I would love to invite you to my next Challenge Groups starting on October 15th where you'll have support to persevere in your fitness journey during the Holiday Season. Contact me today! The workout I did today was Les Mills Pump- STEP. Here is a video I shot a while ago doing this same workout. I hope you enjoy it!
