Tips to run a successful business

Take Progress Pictures!

Take Progress PicturesTake progress pics my friends! Good or bad, it’s a better measure than the scale. But even with pics, to get an accurate comparison, be in the same position, the same light, the same outfit & the same time of day and month

Don’t mind our messy weight room 😉

Get Back On Track

Get Back On TrackAre you back?! If so, what’s motivating you?

Or are you one that stayed on track anyway?

Wake Up & Work Out

Wake Up and Work OutWhat workout will you do tomorrow?!

Wake up & workout before anyone is awake and before anyTHING can get in the way⏰! Unless it’s meant to be a rest day, don’t negotiate with yourself. You’ll start your day on a more positive note & you’ll have more energy!

Holiday Party Pounds Prevention

Holiday Party Pounds PreventionWouldn’t it be amazing to not only maintain your fitness but actually keep progressing AND not feel restricted for the Holidays?!

There are a few moments where the struggle is REAL.. But It IS possible.. I’ve done it before! And it’s worth it! You don’t have to eat 100% clean but you do have to be conscious, make smart choices & get back on track ASAP!

Let’s plan ahead & still enjoy friends, family & the season! C’mon.. We can do this!

 

Work In Progress Here!

Work in ProgressJust some work in progress here!

You don’t have to have a gym membership, you don’t even have to have weights, you don’t even need a full 30 minutes (yes, those things are great & can help but not absolutely necessary!). You need a workout plan, daily accountability, & nutrition guidelines that you can LIVE with!

If you’re doing PiYo, you know how triceps push-ups give your arms great shape!

You Ate It – Now Negate It!

You Ate ItI don’t know if this is funny or sad!!???

Matt & I are about to take our son & his friends Trick or Treating ..If my workout tomorrow includes 200 burpees, you’ll know why!

No, really.. My goal is NONE. I’m not one who can do chocolate in healthy moderation but go for it if you can! To me, 1 = 10!

Abs!

Are the tights too distracting??

I did 2 rounds but only YOU know your own fitness level & where to modify. Warm-up first

20 tucks on #TRX or #StabilityBall

20 straight leg lifts (w/weight or med ball)

20 Mtn Climbers on #TRX or with #PiYoSliders

20 bicycle abs (right +left =1)

20 crunches on tailbone (knees up)

20 oblique (alternating sides) tucks on TRX or using piyo strength plates/sliders

If you need ongoing workouts to do at home, message me on Facebook or KIK me for advice on what would be the best program for you, given your goals.

 

Do you ever talk yourself out of it?

It’s tempting!! If I’m not in the mood & don’t have time, I usually workout anyway. I pretend skipping it isn’t an option.


Today I knew I’d need to fit in lifting & cardio all in 30 min. And I could think of a gazillion other things I NEEDED to do. But that’s always going to be the case. So I did intervals of intense cardio & lifting. If you’re too tired after work, find a way to do it BEFORE work or on a lunch hour (if you don’t ever get breaks, I highly suggest becoming your own boss 😉 )

Help someone flip their switch!

p.s. Recognize the burpee-lunges from Shaun T’s new Insanity Max30? Elite Coaches got 1 workout early & it’s KILLER!! Launches in December!

Weekends Count

Weekends Count
Do you already KNOW you will workout tomorrow?

Don’t undo all your weekday hard work with too many weekend drinks, missed workouts, & restaurant foods.. It always seems like a good idea ..until Monday rolls around and you feel like you’re starting all over again to meet your goals.

I’ve read Alcohol slows your fat burning metabolism by 74% until it’s out of your system. Don’t get me wrong, I have a drink or two on once in a great while too… but not every weekend.. that’s just because it’s hard ENOUGH for me to meet my goals.. I certainly don’t need alcohol constantly holding back my results.

Don’t aim for perfection, but be conscious of what’s worth it to you & what’s not. A reminder to myself so I thought I’d share!
