TurboFire Mommy Transformation

Libby results

A majority of the clients that I work with are busy moms that are lacking two things when it comes to working out and eating healthy. These two things are TIME and MOTIVATION. I love TurboFire for the fact that so far all of my clients LOVE the program and visible results are achievable in a short amount of time. I also love the fact that TurboFire can be modified to fit the schedule of a busy mom. So, if you only have 15 minutes in the morning and need to get a workout in, you can reach for HIIT 15 and burn a ton of calories in just 15 minutes. You know what this means? No excuses!!! If you want to lose the baby weight bad enough, time and motivation is no longer an excuse! Here is a success story to motivate you. Libby lost 8 pounds and 9 inches overall (5 of which were off her waist) in 30 DAYS!  Super exciting especially after just having her second baby!!! Here is what Libby has to say about her experience with TurboFire.

I have a passion for fitness and always have, but when I got pregnant with my first son I started feeling like it was a losing battle. I battled Hyperemesis Gravidarum for the first half of the pregnancy and lost quite a bit of weight after not being able to eat anything or drink anything. Once the HG went away my appetite came back with a vengeance! I not only gained back every pound I lost, but I also gained 40 more on top of that. I tried on my own for over a year to lose the 40 pounds I gained, and eventually was successful, except for the last 10 pounds (which would not come off no matter what I did). I finally was introduced to P90X and in 30 days was able to lose the weight and finally feel good about myself again. Shortly after that we decided to have another baby... I battled HG again, but this time worse! Once I was able to eat again I was determined to not gain as much as my last pregnancy, so I ate very healthy and clean throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. The clean eating helped so much in terms of my weight gain. After my 2nd son was born I wanted to get back to my old self again much faster than last time. I was determined to feel confident in a bikini before summer, so I decided to try Turbo Fire. This time I was able to lose all of my baby weight (plus a few extra pounds) in 30 days! My youngest son was only 3 1/2 months old and I was already back to feeling like my old confident self! I never thought that was possible in such a short time after having a baby, but I am proof that it is possible! I'm not going to say it was easy, because it wasn't, but it was definitely worth it! If you want the results bad enough and are willing to put in the effort, Turbo Fire will get you there! I have tried so many different workout programs, but Turbo Fire is, by far, my FAVORITE! It is upbeat and fun, and that is exactly what i look for in a workout program. I am so passionate about Beachbody products, because I know from personal experience that they work! The best part is that most of the workouts are short enough that i can fit them in at home while still juggling being an Army wife and a mom to a 2 year old and a new baby. My youngest son still wakes up at night every few hours, so I struggle to find the energy sometimes during the day, but I feel so much better on the days I do my workouts and drink my Shakeology! Now that I am living a healthy, fit lifestyle I know that I am able to be the best Mom I can be for my boys.

If you are tired of making excuses and are truly READY for change, ready to start something that you can ENJOY, and ready to lose weight the right way, don't let your excuses get in the way of you finally feeling great about YOURSELF!

On June 10th I am kicking off the TURBOMOM challenge. My goal is to help busy moms overcome excuses and finally regain their pre-baby bodies. Through this process, you will learn new strategies for identifying your priorities and managing your time, and learn how to start living a healthier lifestyle for yourself and your children. This includes learning how to plan and prepare healthy meals for you and your children. This is not a contest. Instead, it is a group to support you, hold you accountable, and a safe place to share your struggles and success. This will be a 60 Day group and I am looking for busy moms who are truly ready for change. We will figure out how to make this work for you regardless of your crazy schedule.

How to Boost your Metabolism and LOSE WEIGHT

cant-out-train-a-bad-diet
 


When people decide that it is time to take control of their health and fitness, they usually turn to exercise. Are you one of the girls that decides to start exercising again and heads to the gym to do 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill or elliptical with no results? That used to be me! I really did not GET the fact that exercise was only a small piece of the puzzle. The missing piece is that you CANNOT out exercise a bad diet. Now here is another problem. Many people decide they are ready for a change and then try something drastic like not eating at all or following an extremely low calorie diet that is not safe or sustainable.

I need to get something clear before we move on. Going all day without eating and then having a huge dinner is possibly the WORST thing that you can do if you are wanting to get healthy and fit! I would say that 80% of the women that come to me with 50-100 pounds to lose, only eat a few meals a day! They can't understand why they continue to gain weight when they are trying to lose and don't eat very often. These types of eating habits cause your metabolism to slow down which in turn makes it even harder for you to lose weight! When you do eat, especially if you're eating processed, unhealthy food, your body will hold on to what you consume not knowing when it will receive it's next fuel. Even if you are consuming healthy foods when you are eating, your weight lost consists of primarily water and muscle when you are at a severe calorie deficit. Muscle is good and is what burns fat!

Here are some small tips to start with. I'm sure you've heard them before, but I will say it again!

 1.)     Eat 5-6 small meals per day and drink WATER!

 2.)    Never go more than 3 hours without eating

 3.)    Keep meals CLEAN (unprocessed foods like fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy carbs)

 4.)    Incorporate a balance of strength training and cardio training into your weekly routine.

 5.)    Don't be afraid to lift weights!!!! It is EXTREMELY difficult for women to BULK like the hulk. The more muscle that you build, the more fat you will burn!

Don't let another year go by without getting in the best shape of your life! I know you can do this! If you are looking for the perfect home program and support network, click here for a FREE consultation!

Please like and share and say NO to crazy fad diets and choose to LIVE HEALTHY!

January Internship

dream-big


 I am an Independent Team Beachbody coach! This opportunity has truly changed my life. I was able to make the transition from a full-time job that was not bringing out the best in me, to a full-time stay at home mom/fitness coach. Words cannot express what this change has done for my personal happiness and the happiness of my family. I no longer come home from work crying out of frustration that comes with managing an organization and I no longer have to feel unappreciated in the work place. I am NOW surrounded by the most uplifting, positive group of leaders that support me 100% in all of my endeavors. I am NOW able to earn a great income by living a healthy and fit lifestyle and empowering others to do the same.

JANUARY INTERNSHIP I will be hand-selecting and personally mentoring 5 individuals in a small group setting, one-on-one, and through the Internet. During the first three months, I will teach you everything that I know about this business. However, it will be UP TO YOU to take the initiative to WORK, apply the knowledge, and build your business. I am looking for motivated individuals that have a love for health and fitness, have a true desire to help and support others, and will dedicate at least 10 hours a week to this internship. If you believe that YOU have what it takes and are looking for something that both challenges you as a leader, while at the same time, gives you the ability to change lives and create the life of your dreams...

Beachbody Programs

The key to your success as you start and progress through your fitness journey will be finding your SOULMATE workout. Chalene Johnson, one of Beachbody's amazing trainers, describes in her PUSH book how to identify your soul mate workout. My FREE-E-GUIDE that I'm creating, will walk you through this process and give you an idea of where to start with your journey. Here are my personal favs when it comes to Beachbody Home Workout programs.



 

 
Les Mills Pump

Have you ever heard of the Body Pump class that offered in gyms across the country? Well guess what? You can do Les Mills Pump right in the comfort of your own home!! I just started this workout program and I absolutely LOVE it! It came with everything that I need to get a kick butt workout right in front of the TV. The program came in a huge box that I could barely lift off of my doorstep and carry downstairs. The box included a barbell with 4 weights. Two 5 lb. weights and two 10 lb. weights. It also included the packet of DVD's, a program guide, and a nutrition guide. I started pump right away. My first impression with the first workout, Pump Challenge, was not great. I was expecting it to be a little more difficult. It was only about 20 minutes long. However, the next week Pump Challenge turned into a longer workout called Pump and Burn. I decided to push myself a little more and add a bit more weight. WOW!! Let me tell you, my legs and booty have never been so sore! I think I did a gazillion squats. However, the program has such awesome music and eye-appeasing trainers that the time went by super fast. I love the fact that my heart rate gets up while I can feel my muscles working at the same time. I am on week 3. My legs, but, back, and arms have all been pretty sore. You can make this a beginner workout by just lifting the bar or adding more weights. LOVE IT!! Definitely my new fav!!
 
 
TurboFire

I competed in an NPC Bikini competition last year. I worked out super hard and tried to follow a strict meal plan in the months leading up to the show. Immediately after the show, I totally fell off track. I started eating extremely unhealthy foods, didn't want to workout, and ultimately gained about 15 lbs. and undid all of my hard work. I was in a real SLUMP! After Christmas, I was desperate to do something! I started TurboFire in hopes that something new would help me. After trying TurboFire for the first time, I was hooked. I was literally hopping out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to get my workout in! I had to show a video because I don't think my description would do it justice! If you love cardio kickboxing, fun-upbeat workouts, and want an amazing body, this is for you!!

7-Day Miracle Plan to Boost Your Metabolism--from Dr. Oz

 
Does your metabolism need a boost?
 
 
Image from www.shape.com


Ever wonder why you just can't seem to lose weight? Have you tried every diet imaginable without success? Have you tried not eating during the day in hopes of losing weight quickly? Have you tried to fast to lose stubborn weight? Do you workout regularly without losing a pound? If you are a woman living in the United States, chances are, you have answered YES to at least one of these questions. A majority of the clients that I have worked with that have 20 lbs. or more that they would like to lose, have the following points in common.

1.) They rarely eat meals throughout the day. However, when they do eat, it's a large amount of unhealthy food.

2.) They don't understand why they aren't losing weight because they rarely eat.




There can be many factors that influence a persons ability or inability to lose weight. Calories in versus calories out is usually the most common factor. However, slower metabolic functioning due to eating habits, fad diets, and fasting can also play a role in determining whether or not you will be able to rid your body of unwanted fat. Dr. Oz recently aired an awesome episode on boosting your metabolism. He provides a very simple 7 day plan to boost your metabolism and lose weight. I have also provided a link to an article from Shape Magazine on boosting your metabolism.
