Tips for those New to or Restarting Exercise

   Did you set your New Year's Resolution to lose weight and get healthy this year through exercise? Nervous about where to start? It can be so hard to find a good starting place when it comes to exercise. Many people are so ready that they go crazy doing it. You know what I mean right? Maybe you signed up for a gym membership and you are going 2 hours for 5 days a week for the first 3 weeks. Then your body is tired and you skip a day, the next thing you know you have skipped a whole month. Your New Year's Resolution is out the window before you barely started!

    How do you go about not letting this happen? You start out SLOW. Aim to exercise 3 days a week to begin. For instance for the month of January you dedicate just three days a week to some form of exercise. Walking, running, gym time, exercise video, or something of your choosing. Once the month of January is over and February comes around you will be used to working out those three days. You will have worked your schedule around it and found a way to fit it in.

    February is here now and you have figured out a way to add three days of exercise to your schedule. Now you just have to add one more day to equal 4 days of exercise per week. Once you have mastered this in March add one more day to equal 5 days. Now you have stuck with your resolution and you are working out more then you ever have most likely. You have stuck with it because you started slow. You didn't burn yourself out before you got started!

   Before you know it the weight will start to come and you will feel better!

Turbo Kick Instructor Training

     I found out about Turbo Kick classes at my very first Super Saturday (quarterly Beachbody meetings).... I was interested to find out more what Turbo Kick was so I did some research online. I found out that 1. anyone could do the instructor training and 2. the classes were FUN!

     I wanted to take the instructor training, but one thing that held me back was of course my own fear. I am extremely shy and just not the outgoing type so to do something like this would mean I would have to get over that! Then I had never actually taken one of the classes. While I had done a workout which was similar called TurboFire, I hadn't actually done a Turbo Kick class. That worried me that I would look silly.

     I proccrastinated on the first training that was near my area due to my own fear and self doubts. One thing that Beachbody has done for me since becoming a coach has taught me to read personal development everyday. Through this I was able to put that fear to the side and I registered for the instructor class! Does that mean I was not super nervous to go? Absolutely not! I was a nervous wreck!

     The morning of the training I got there early. So I sat in my car praying for peace and for me to kick all of my self doubt, fear, and shyness to the door! Guess what? It totally worked! I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and our God is awesome!

     I walked in and everyone was so nice! There were a few other girls that I knew from my training group and they had never taken the classes either, this immediately put me at ease! Since they were in the same boat as me, I wasn't worried about looking silly!

    The instructor was so nice and broke down each step as we begin the training. It was one of the best exercises I have ever done. I was instantly in love with Turbo Kick. The class lasted all day with some sit down talks about how to run Turbo Kick classes and two Turbo Kick classes combined in there. It started at 9 and ended at 5, but it never felt like we were there that long.

    When I left I was a sweaty, tired mess. I was so sore for a couple of days after the training. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do the instructor training.. I am thankful to Beachbody for teaching me the skills to step out of my comfort zone. Once you have the courage to step out of that comfort zone it truly is where the magic happens.

      I have now been practicing Turbo Kick everyday. I don't think I will ever actually teach a class, but just to know that I did the class and got the training which is something I NEVER saw myself doing is just pure awesomesauce! I got out of my comfort zone and did something to prove that I could! If you have never tried Turbo Kick find a class in your area. I think you will love it, and who knows maybe one day soon you will be a Turbo Kick instructor too!

After Insanity 

I don't know if you have heard anything about Beachbody Coaching? Have you ever been approached about the opportunity or heard about it on one of the workout DVDs? I started coaching in April and I am hoping to make it my full time job. Right now I do stay home, but recently finished my Education degree and had planned on going to back to work when my little one turns 4. While I love children, helping people lose weight and feel more confident about themselves is my absolute passion. I love this job! I don’t hound anyone or pester anyone. I just ask questions and offer help when someone wants a new program, are not seeing results that they want with what they are doing, or has a general fitness or diet question. It has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. When someone loses 10,20, or 50 lbs because I helped them pick out a program and held them accountable through a closed facebook page, there is just nothing like that! I also love never having to be in an office or answer to a boss–I work it because I want to and when I want!
