Are you wishing for it or working for it? I don’t just mean fitness, I mean designing the life you want.
Don’t let anything or anyone stop you. BUT make sure the outcome of what you’re pursuing aligns you with the things, the lifestyle, & most importantly, the people that make you happy.
Please speak up if you’ve had amazing results once you started taking lifting/strength training seriously.
Don’t stop lifting/strength training.. It’s almost NEVER a good idea to stop (unless you have a rare situation) if you care about being fit, getting lean & most importantly feeling & performing at your BEST.
If you’re gaining muscle but NOT losing fat, you have to take a hard, honest look at what you’re doing day in & day out with what you’re eating & drinking.
You can’t expect to see the fruits of your labor until you’ve been consistent 90% of the time with what you eat AND drink, lifting/strength and your cardio. It’s about creating NEW habits & tackling old, bad habits one day/one meal at a time
What are your goals this month or this year??
Thought I’d put this out there just for self-accountability!
I couldn’t fit everything & couldn’t fit specifics & deadline dates, obviously. And I didn’t include the ones that are a GIVEN.
Beachbody will now have vid’s available digitally! What do you think of this news?!
I’m seriously loving “Beachbody on Demand” i.e. Beachbody programs digitally! My DVD player really bugs me sometimes!
It’s launching SOON to all coaches & customers who have a Club Membership. And they’re going to be adding new programs to the library, other than just what you see here, of course!
p.s. I’m SHAKING LIKE A LEAF in the video because I had just finished working out of course!
We’re all on our own journey. I put my journey out to the public not to be judged or compared, but to hold myself accountable & hopefully inspire someone. It used to be really scary for me to post pics or videos of myself, and STILL is somewhat, but hiding in your fear of judgment & never living the life you were meant to live, never becoming the person you were meant to be, & never helping ALL the people you were meant to help, is scarier.
Are you injured?? Where?
Of course check with your Dr but maybe there are things you CAN DO that don’t aggravate it, but keep you moving & most importantly, enable you to feel on track. Your mindset controls you’re eating too & if you feel all off-track due to an injury, it can take you down a bad, unhealthy path if you let it.
I have a hamstring/glute injury from sprinting 2 yrs ago, a wrist sprain from snowboarding with Chalene Johnson 2 wks ago & now a knee tweak from who-knows-what! But I am happiest & healthiest if I just keep moving and am smart about it.

What was your workout today?
I tweaked my knee coming down awkwardly from a high pull-up bar last week! But upper body & core workouts have kept me busy while it heals. Click the image to the right to watch a video for some upper body exercises to get you moving.
Don’t hesitate, don’t negotiate, #justdoit before your brain even figures out what else needs to be done today!

Can’t teach turbo tonight … Boo!! I’ve been nursing a little injury in my ribs since last week & am going to be cautious a little longer and not rotate or heavily engage my abs 🙁 So I ran & did a spin workout instead. When you’re sick/injured, be smart so you can heal but usually there are SOME things you can safely do without aggravating the injury further. Be creative.. check with your doctor first but try new ways to get strength & cardio in. See it as a maintenance phase until you heal. Nutrition needs to be on point at times like this 🙂
I dare you to challenge yourself 
TODAY to do a little more than you normally do. When I workout, even if i’m DOGGIN’ it, I still feel like it’s challenging, ..but don’t let that you fool you into believing you can’t or shouldn’t try to DO MORE… up your weights today, or do a few more reps or sets, increase the speed of your run, or hit rewind on the HIITs.. test your perceived limits today! 🙂 #TricepPush ups… love to hate!
