Challenge #4 for the Week

Since we've embarked on our final decent into Spring, I've decided to get a little more realistic with my personal challenges, so have moved them to weekly. I think many would agree, it's important to master one each time, then to rush on to the next. So, that's exactly what I'm doing. So.......




Challenge # 4 is......





Take more time to STRETCH before and after workouts.

I've known always that this is the key to avoiding injury, increase flexibilty and mobility, but it's usually the one part in my exercise routine that gets cut short...and that needs to STOP. I do warm up and cool down for roughly 2-3 minutes before each workout, which in asking some trainers, is appropriate. BUT, I really would like to work on more flexibilty, minimize any opportunity for injury and enhance my mobility.

I'm currently training for my 1st marathon (YAH! Go me!) and much of that involved endurance and taking appropriate measure to avoid injury. This is where STRETCHING can be key.

So as Tony Horton reiterates for us in the video above: "Flexibity is the Fountain of Youth". I'm going to give my body the best reward and enhance its durability - thanks Tony! :)

Join me in this challenge for now and your future!

Beachbody Testimonial by Founding Coach, Blake Warrington

I wanted to share this great testimonial by one of our founding Coaches, and I'm honored to have him as our team leader. As a fellow skeptic, I related well with how he approached the business. Enjoy:

"My name is Blake Warrington and I am a Beachbody Coach who has experienced tremendous results with P90X. I was introduced to the Team Beachbody business by corporate and instantly fell in love with the concept. However, I realized that if I was going to do the business I had to become a product of the product. By nature I am a very skeptical person, and even more so when it comes to the in-home fitness programs. I have never done one of these types of programs before and was always an avid "gym rat." While not in tip top shape, I always considered myself as someone in decent shape for my age, and consistently did my "3 sets of 8 to 10 reps" for each body part, along with some treadmill or running about 4-5 days a week. Knowing I had to be a product of the product, I started my P90X workouts and soon realized I was not in the best shape I could be. P90X is the most amazing and intense program I have ever experienced in my life. It has completely transformed my body like I would have never imagined. At 49 years of age, I went from 18.5% body fat and a 36 in waist, to 9.8% body fat and a 32 inch waist. I don't think I can remember ever being 9.8% body fat. I probably blew through it at some time in high school or college. My abs are starting to really show and I get more compliments from people asking me what I do to stay in such great shape. I no longer have to pay my gym membership fee, and I can just about do my entire P90X workout in the time it used to take me just to drive to and from the gym. If you are looking to get in the best shape of your life, and you would like to do it from the comfort of your own home, using nothing more than a pull-up bar and a set of dumbbells or resistance bands, then you owe it to yourself to try P90X. It comes with a full 90 day, no risk, money back guarantee. Try getting that from a gym or personal trainer!"

If you are interested in embarking on your very own fitness lifestyle and also want to get financially fit, let's talk!
