One of the new trainers this season on the Biggest Loser, is Brett Hoebel.

As a Beachbody Coach I am excited and proud to see a Beachbody trainer on such a well known show.

At Beachbody we have fitness programs that work! Brett’s RevAbs program is no exception.

Check it out…

In the clip below, the statistic is given that about 25% of people drop their resolutions in the first week! YIKES!

If you are seriously committed to your resolution(s) and want to make significant change in your life, stick with it! It may be tough at first, but if you can stick with it for 30 days it will become a new habit.

One resolution I know that many people drop is exercise. They go and sign up at the gym at the beginning of January very motivated and ‘ready’ to make a change. But they get to the gym and have no idea what to do or how to put a solid workout together that will move them in the direction of their goals. (I know this because I have been there many times myself.) Plus, after having to drive to get there you then have to wait for equipment to be available.

This did not work for me and I assume does not work for many others. So we stop going. And that’s it… resolution gone.

But with Beachbody home programs like P90X and Insanity (discussed in the video below) you know exactly what workout to do on what days, what you should (or shouldn’t) be eating and how to put it all together. Plus, you don’t have to leave your house to do it! You can pop in the DVD and press play any time you want. No having to wait for an elliptical machine or treadmill or nautilus machine or free weights.

It’s so convenient that it’s almost impossible to make an excuse to not work out.

Check out this clip from the CBS Early Show “Solutions to New Year’s Resolutions”:

No matter what your resolution, stick with it!! You CAN make a positive change in your life.

Another common excuse for not exercising, “I don’t have time!”
You probably think you don’t even have time to read this post.
So, I will keep it brief.

Do you want to get in shape?

Do you want to feel better?

Do you want more energy?

Then you can find 10 minutes a day to exercise. 10 minutes! That’s all.

People make so many different excuses for not exercising. I would like to briefly talk about the excuse: “I’m too overweight.” (I actually have heard this before.)

Unless there is an accompanying medical condition where your doctor has restricted exercise, you can start somewhere. Maybe it’s not jumping right into P90X like Dallas Carter who lost 190 pounds (see video below). Maybe it’s starting with Power 90 (which is like P90X lite) or Tony and the Folks like Victoria LaDuke did to lose 100 pounds. The point is, you can start somewhere.

Another excuse that goes hand in hand with this one is ‘Because I’m overweight I’m not comfortable going to the gym.’ These programs bust that excuse because you do all of these in the privacy of your own home. If the first few times you exercise and can’t complete the entire workout, it doesn’t matter. If you are out of breath or struggling to do all the reps, it doesn’t matter. There’s no one there watching what you can and can’t do. You can press pause as much as you need to and take breaks as needed. As long as you stick with it, you will eventually be able to do more and more.

Just start somewhere!

Check out this video to see how Dallas and Victoria started and achieved their success…

Make the decision to get in shape. Improve your health and well being. You CAN do this! I truly believe that you can. No matter what your fitness level is currently, decide on what program you want to use and set a start date. I guarantee that it will be one of the best decisions of your life.

It’s success stories like these that make me proud to say that I am a Beachbody Coach. My passion is to help support the inherent, natural healing process that we all possess. Whether that is through my work as a CranioSacral Therapist; my part time job in a local, natural health food store selling vitamins, supplements, and safe body care products; or as a Team Beachbody Coach helping people find the perfect workout and getting their nutrition on track, I know that I am doing my part to help others achieve their goals of health and wellness.

I believe in Beachbody’s programs and I believe that Shakeology is the healthiest shake on the market today (and the most delicious!). These are not fad diets or exercise programs. These are lifestyle changes that when seriously committed to will change people’s lives. I am excited to be part of that and to share this amazing company and their products with others.

Watch how Cammie, a mother of 3, overcame great adversity to combat the debilitating symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. With P90X, Shakeology, and the support of her loving family, she found the strength and hope she desperately needed.

After watching this wonderful success story, check out what Doctors are saying about Shakeology and why they are recommending it to their patients.

What a great success story!

At 52 years old, Bob lost 47 pounds and 6 inches off his waist. Using Shakeology to help fuel his P90X workouts, he has also been able to stop taking his high blood pressure medicine and his anti-depressants. But most importantly, I feel, is that he is doing this with his son. That’s a beautiful thing.

Watch this and try not to be inspired.

My past couple of posts have been about the New Year’s resolution to get fit or get in shape. I wanted to add another to help support you in achieving your health goals in 2011. The focus of this post: Shakeology.

For over 10 years I have been interested in health and nutrition. While my formal training is in Massage and CranioSacral Therapy, I have done a lot of reading and learning about nutrition, supplementation and general wellness. For over a year and a half I have worked part time at a local health food store in the vitamin/supplement/body care department whose focus is to offer the best natural and organic products available.

During the 21 months I have been there, I have spent a lot of time learning even more about different supplements and their benefits. I have also tried a lot of different products to see how I felt when using them. Tablets, capsules, tinctures, and powders. Some of them were great, some were not … and most of the powders were disgusting!

After starting P90X I began to read about Shakeology. The ingredients impressed me: vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, protein, antioxidants, and phytonutrients… all in one shake. The list includes numerous supplements that people ask for and that I recommend every day that I work.

I was very interested… but very hesitant.

I had yet to taste a supplement powder packed with this many nutrients that was actually enjoyable to drink. I knew the benefits of the 70+ ingredients, but if it was too disgusting to drink I wouldn’t use it. However, I figured it couldn’t be worse than some of the other mixes I had already tried, so I ordered some to put it to the taste test.

It was delicious!!! Seriously. I was pleasantly surprised.

Since then I have given some to other people to try as well. All of them have told me similar stories about trying awful tasting shakes, but then tried and loved Shakeology.

So how does this fit into your goals to get healthy, get in shape, and lose weight in 2011? Here’s a short clip from the Shakeology Website:

This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

So, why Shakeology?

You get 17 grams of quality protein plus all the nutrients with only 140 calories. And you don’t have to buy take over 20 different pills every day. It costs less than a meal at a fast food restaurant and provides so much more nutrition. It fills you up and fuels your body. Pair up Shakeology with a solid exercise program and be prepared for dramatic changes in your health and wellness.

Don’t believe me? Check out this video to hear why doctors are recommending Shakeology. Or contact me to get an audio presentation from doctors across the country who stand behind Shakeology.

If you are interested in trying Shakeology, contact me for a free sample.

If you are interested in purchasing Shakeology, I would be happy to show you how you could save 25% or more on your order.

I wish you all great health and happiness in 2011 and beyond.

Yesterday I talked about a common New Year’s Resolution, wanting to get in shape. Today I want to remind you of two great specials from Team Beachbody that can help you save money and get started on your fitness goals.

First, there is P90X One on One for JUST ONE PENNY!!

Check it out … you can have this intense Plyocide workout DVD for just $.01:

Team Beachbody’s second special is that through the end of 2010, they are waiving the fee to sign as a coach. What does this mean? Sign up as a Team Beachbody Coach and you can enjoy all the products (workouts included) at a 25% discount!! That can be huge savings if you are thinking of purchasing a program like P90X, Insanity, or TurboFire!

Being a Team Beachbody coach also means that you can, if you want, share these programs with others and make a little extra money in 2011. You don’t have to sell as coach. Simply sharing your experience with the programs and with the company is often times enough to get others excited to check out what Beachbody has to offer.

Both of these 2010 specials are great. But they are almost over. If you want more information about either one of these offers, contact me and I can give you more specific information.

The New Year tends to be a time when one looks back and begins to think about changes he/she wants or needs to make in his/her life. A resolution that is very popular is to “Get fit” or “Get in shape”.

People are often heard saying, “I am going to work out more” or “I’m going to start eating better”. These are great resolutions, but often people don’t have the right system in place to be successful at starting and maintaining their resolution throughout the year.
