Yummy start to the morning!

I tried a Shakeology recipe call Chocolate Mocha this morning.

• 1 serving of chocolate Shakeology
• 1 cup cold coffee (cool brewed coffee over ice)
• 1/2 cup of water or milk
• ice to taste
• a little cinnamon

All I can say is yum! What a wonderfully thick chocolaty way to start the morning. I was actually surprised how long I stayed full. I drank the shake at 7 am and didn't start to feel hungry until 11 am. This recipe is a keeper in my book.

Fire 30 Class

I'm on my 3rd time of the Fire 30 Class. I'm loving this one. The music is awesome and I'm starting to really feel the flow of the workout. I'm so happy I got this kit. It's so very motivating and just fun to do. It makes me want to get up and exercise.

I thought this article was interesting. . Tony Horton is training the military all over the world with his P90X. Check out the CNN article HERE: http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/16/military.recruits.overweight/index.html?hpt=Sbin

2nd Day of TurboFire!

I started on my TurboFire rotation, Saturday. The first day calls for fire 30 class and the 2nd day HIIT 15. I knew I wanted to take Sunday as a rest day so I combined the two workouts into one. It was fun and a whole lot of work. I felt spent, I didn't feel the need for a walk or anything the rest of the day.

Sunday was a rest day, so today I was back at it. The third day calls for the Fire 30 Class and Stretch 10. I found that since I watched the "New to Class" option the first time, I was able to follow along pretty good this time. The music and energy are awesome in the set.

I really think this was a perfect setup for a quick morning workout. 30 min workout + 10 min stretch. I got in and out, all done.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, Fire 55 EZ.

TurboFire is Here!

Chalene Johnson has a new fitness program called TurboFire! This is an intense cardio conditioning program that uses the HIIT concept (High Intensity Interval Training).

I love the fact that you get a complete program when you order these dvd's instead of just a dvd. There are 12 workouts on 11 DVDs, a nutritional guide, a tape measure, a class schedule and a band included.

She also offers a "New To Class" option that breaks down the steps for you so starting out is a bit easier. TurboFire is one step up for her first fitness program Turbo Jam.

You can check out more details about TurboFire at my website. Please contact me and we can discuss if TurboFire is a good product for you.

Who am I?

I'm a BeachBody Coach and a busy mom of two little ones. I have been a long time home exercise video lover. I've been using exercise videos since the late 80's mostly because I love the convenience of exercise on my own time without leaving my home. It's so easy to do it on my time instead of waiting for a class time or trying to schedule daycare for the kids.

I did take about a 5 year break from my videos while I had my two little kids. During this time, I felt like I couldn't find the time or energy to exercise. I discovered during this little break that exercising actually makes me feel better both physically and mentally. Taking time for me each day helps out both me and my family. Exercise is going to be part of my daily routine from here on out.

I'm addicted to trying new workouts and new instructors, so joining the BeachBody team as a coach was very exciting. I'll have lots of tools & support coaches to help me learn all about BeachBody products, so I can help others on their fitness journey as well.
