My Story --> Keep Going! ❤️

When I first started of Beachbody I was ashamed to tell anyone. I had just had twins. Had just gone back to work and felt icky in my own body. None of my clothes fit. I was tired all the time and had no drive. I had this dark cloud hanging over me and I didn't know how to get out into the sunshine. On a whim, I started working out at 8:30pm at night in between night feedings, work, and pumping 6 x day. At first I worked out 10 minutes and quit. I slowly worked my way up. I really wasn't sure why I was sticking with it except every day I would wake up and there was a whole team of new friends and like-minded women who were going through the same thing. They would share their story and I felt like I could keep going. So I did. Everyday.

Fast forward 3 months and I became a coach. I honestly started because I wanted to get my workouts and nutrition free. We are a single income family of 5 and if I could provide a little more support and get healthy, it sounded like a win. So I kept going.

6 months later, I had lost 35lbs, transformed my schedule, found some sunshine and light and still had my tribe of women supporting me every step of the way. I decided to share my story with some of my friends. And I kept going.

People would ask me what I was doing and I would tell them, but I was still so worried what they would think. Why would a full time career women also want to coach? Why would you want to share your story on social media? What would people think? I kept going.


Fast forward to today. I kept going. I traveled to Nashville, TN and Sundance, UT on trips where I focused on leadership and self-development. I completed full workout programs 100%. I learned to organize my schedule to allow time for both me and my family.

I am still going. I am team Beachbody. I am a wife. A mom. A corporate IT professional. A lover of chocolate and wine, fan of yoga and still suffer from some dark spots. I have learned to find the tools to show me the light and live and set a healthy example for my family.

We eat clean. We are present. We hike. We play. We are healthy. I would have never imagined a 30 minute workout program would take me this far, but it is amazing how taking one small step can lead you on an awesome new path.

Busy Mom's Answer to Working Out!

You have seen me post about it a lot, and I probably have told you how working out in my basement is the secret sauce to time management for me at some point in a conversation... SO, with school starting soon and schedules starting to ramp up, I thought I would give you a quick review of  my answer to working out with a BUSY schedule.

Here is what it will save you...
-->No driving to the gym
-->No gym membership
-->No boring workouts (There are 350+ to choose from)
-->No waiting in lines
-->No sharing a lockeroom
-->No waiting for someone to unlock the gym at 5am! (Or even worse getting there and having them be late!)

Pretty cool right? Don't take my word for it though. You can try any of the streaming workouts for FREE for 30 days.

Here is what you get!




Not only do you get over 350+ workouts, but you get the nutrition plans, meal plans and your very own personal coach. (That is where I come in). And that is is why this works. Because you can workout on your schedule but have the one on one accountability when you need it.  Some quick workouts that you can try include the following:

--> Yoga
--> Pilates
--> HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
--> Kickboxing / Mixed Martial Arts
--> Dance

The workouts are available on your smartphone, smarttv or streaming online anytime. There is even an app you can download and save your favorite workouts so when you don't have internet you still have access to them.

The best part is these are easily pairable with other workout programs. Like to run? Add on some circuit training. Love to go to spinning? Try some yoga on the weekend. I guarantee you will never get bored. Take a look at let me know what you think!
