P90 This is the workout you can do #itsyourturn

Calling all individuals who are WANTING to get healthier, fitter & happier this fall but don't know where to begin! Beachbody is about to release a NEW program called P90 that will be released this Fall. Have you ever seen P90X? Ever attempted to do it and failed miserably? Believe me, I've been there. And guess what?! I am beyond THRILLED that Beachbody has come out with something that is a stepping stone to P90X, P90x2 & P90X3. This new program is called P90 and will be just the thing you need in order to see results this Fall. Deciding to make some changes in your life is a big deal, and so often we jump in with both feet first, in to a program that is way too advanced for us and then end up quitting a few days in. This time is different. This time you will have a program that will take it slow with you. Every day you will become stronger & fitter but with the right pace. 

FINALLY! Our prayers have been answered! Tony Horton heard those prayers and saw the need for a program that will help individuals start at a slower pace so that they can advance to a faster, more extreme program in just 90 days. We want to be in the best shape of our lives, but we need to start at the beginning and build core strength, stability and have correct form so that we don't get injured and end up back at the start again! It's about creating a safe and effective starting point for people to introduce fitness into their lives. Its also a great way to teach individuals that working out and strength training doesn't have to be about killing yourself in your work outs. You can get awesome results by just mastering the right form.

So who is this program for?
This program is for anyone who doesn't want to do hardcore work outs but wants to lose weight by just learning some basics cardio and toning moves. Maybe you've lost some muscle over the years and haven't given yourself that ME time you need to gain it back. Maybe you're someone who just wants to feel healthy & happy again.

So what is this program all about?
P90 has simple cardio, strength training and flexibility work outs for 25 minutes per day for 90 days. It also comes with a simple nutrition guide that will help you get on track with your eating and focusing on the right foods to fuel your body properly for those work outs and results. So when will it be available? Expected release date is September 23rd, 2014 through a Team Beachbody coach, like me, if you're not already working with a coach! When we get closer to the date we will receive more information. Make sure you contact me or let me know if you're interested in this program.

Health is Wealth

A new month is here and some use it as a time for new beginnings.  Forget about what happened yesterday. Strive for consistency, not perfection.  Think of your health as your responsibility.  

Here are 8 simple tips on how to lose weight and tighten up.

1. Do cardio
2. No processed foods
3. No pop drinks
4. Exercise 20 minutes 3 times a week
5. Eat smaller portions
6. Drink lots of water
7. Don't add too much stuff to your coffee (stevia is good)
8. Set a goal and reach it

Become the BEST version of YOU

If your goal is to lean out, shed weight and improve your health, in my opinion, the key to success is to have a plan, know your numbers (calorie intake vs. how much you burn) and forgive yourself if you mess up.

I rely on two apps to guide me towards my goals:  myfitnesspal (connect with me at www.myfitnesspal.com/maria365) and my Fitbit. 

At the end of the day you can NEVER make a mistake with food.  Everything you do is an experiment.

So rather than saying, "Oh my gosh i really messed up today."  Say, "Wow, that was another food experiment that didn't work."

Through trial and error we will be able to find the foods that work for us, rather than staying on a fixed rigid diet.  Take your blinders off.  Our head will say one thing and our body will say another.  Find what works for you!

How to get the most out of your work out:

1. Eat right. Eat whole foods, Cook at home, and Use cheese as a spice.

2. Change your focus. You should exercise to feel better not just to look better.

3. Don't be afraid to work hard. If it's easy, it's not working.

4. But at the same time, don't be a perfectionist. By being a perfectionist, you will quit the first time you fail at something.

5. Make a plan.

6. Find a buddy. Everything, including pain, is more fun with a friend.

7. Be accountable. Whether you're logging your food and workouts online or reporting to your mom every night (what ever works), find some way to track your progress and hold yourself accountable.

8. Lift weights. Running may burn a lot of calories while you're doing it, but weight lifting helps you burn more calories all day long.

9. Give it time. People need about 30 days to adapt, 30 days to get in the groove, and 30 days to really push yourself and gain strength.

10. One size does not fit all.

I have incorporated these tips and they have become 2nd nature.  It doesn't happen overnight.  But, once you get into the groove, you will become consciously competent.  A healthy lifestyle is critical for successful aging.  Move your body every day!

I just finished my first 5 days with the Fast Track Guide from Focus T25 and replaced one meal with Vanilla Shakeology.  Posting in my challenge group gave me the focus and accountability to reach my goal.  I was able to shed 4 pounds and lose 1 inch off my hips.  These workouts are great because they're very effective and efficient.  25 minutes, 5 days per week.  These workouts are tough, Shaunt T's not foolin around.  To get results, you have to go outside of your comfort zone.  

If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you!

New Focus T25 Challenge group is starting July 8th.

If you've ever said, "I don't have time to workout." Then you just ran out of excuses. Just 25 minutes/5 days a week. 

Challenge details:

1) personal and intimate challenge group with only 4 other challengers.
2) weekly calls with me to address goal setting and progress.
3) weekly weigh-ins, measurements and PRIZES.

My focus is getting you the results you want. It's up to you. If you're ready then let's go! Let's begin to build healthy habits TOGETHER and work on becomes greater versions of ourselves. All fitness levels are applicable. This program plus Shakeology plus support equals your success. Reply to this e-mail and let me know if you're in.

Eight things I learned from my run this morning

This morning I decided to go out for my weekly run in spite of not feeling well.  The past 2 days, I've been feeling yucky for lack of a better description.  I am definitely fighting something off.  Possibly a virus, without fever, having a massive headache.  I was curious to see if my run would help me shake the feeling. 

So, here's what I learned:

1.  Push yourself even when you don't feel like it, it will be worth it.

2.  I will not melt when it rains.

3.  A short run is better than no run.

4.  Hearing the right music will make you run faster.

5.  Don't break your stride, just keep a consistent, steady pace.

6.  Going against the wind feels really awesome.

7.  Next time carry ID in case I collapse.

8.  A good run puts things in the right perspective.

So overall, my stats were OK.  My past 2 runs I hit the 5 mile mark, but cut today's run short.  My goal is to continue to improve with each workout.

Countdown to Summer is on!

I don't know anyone who is NOT looking forward to the Summer.  Lazy days, warmer temps, fresh seasonal fruits....BATHING SUITS!  

Maybe you're not quite beach-ready.  Don't worry.  There are less than 30 days till Memorial Day weekend.  Did you know you can accomplish alot in a short amount of time?I am doing a FREE clean eating challenge for 14 days starting May 6th and it's for those who need a jump start to clean eating. Its a private Facebook group with only 5 members. This is for those who are NOT part of my current group and who DO NOT currently have a coach or have done a challenge with me before. Message me I will give you the details. ***3 spots left*** Wednesday 5/1 is the last day today to join.

Get focused, be determined and commit to yourself.

4 weeks ago, I led a small group who consistently posted their nutrition (meal plans were given) and reported their workout of the day.  Rules were given, strict accountability was enforced and they got RESULTS.

I personally lost a whole size and fit back into my favorite jeans!  Just losing 7-8 pounds can make a huge difference to your mental, physical and emotional well being.

Connect with me on myfitnesspal/maria365 and check out my diary.  What made a difference for me was replacing one meal a day with Shakeology.

Message me at maria365@aol.com and put "Summer Challenge" in the subject line.

Remember, if you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done.

Big 5 Goals

Typically on a Sunday night, I start to think about what needs to get done for the week.  I love Mondays and have been inspired to narrow down my focus.

I wanted to share what I'm concentrating on for the week of 4/15/13:

1) Wrap up Mod 4 w/Test to get 100%, start Mod 5 (Integrative Nutrition online education)

2) Visit program to assess future placement regarding post-High School transition plan (special needs) for daughter for this coming September.

3) Learn and roll out new lesson PiYo Strength by Sunday 4/21 

4)Turbokick Certification Training 4/20

5) Get 3 Strength Workouts in this week (maybe a little ambitions but I'm shooting for it; 3 cardio sessions with one of them being a run).

These are my top 5 along with other ancillary goals (not mentioned) that must get done in order to keep the flow going.

"Within you is the power to do anything...with confidence and inspiration, you unlock the possibilities."  All you have to do is believe that you can and you're half way there.

Knowing what you want to accomplish and plotting out what you want to achieve can serve as a roadmap.  Let's face it, if you want to get somewhere you have to know how you're going to get there!  By taking forward motions in what ever it is that you are looking to pull off takes planning, determination, self-motivation and a sprinkle of perserverance.  

Last night when I drafted my Big 5, it gave me such clarity that I actually had peace among the chaotic schedule Mondays typically bring.

If you're like me you regularly plug into Social Media like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.  Its easy to connect with others who offer so much inspiration and motivaiton.  But remember, inspiration is a two way street. So Take heart: "There are people in your life whom you unknowingly inspire simply by being you."  How cool is that?  Very!!!!
