Stayin' in Step

Being a lover of work at home DVD's know that often times the biggest concern I hear from others is that there is noone around to show them how to do the moves or choreography correctly.

Well, I understand the concern. However, that is part of the beauty of working out at home. Unless you have a workout buddy, there is noone around to see you "make a fool of yourself" or whatever else reason you might give.
The thing to remember is that if you are MOVING, you are burning calories. Even if you don't get the moves down right away, you are still being active and if you sweat, you are burning :)
(heck, even if you don't sweat...if you are moving you are burning calories).

Now, when it comes to weight lifting or certain exercises I DO understand the concern about form. If you don't have proper form, in some instances you can do harm. However, your body will often times tell you if you are doing it incorrectly.
AND....a mirror will also help you :)
Watch the instructor in the video. Mirror them. If what you see in the mirror doesnt' match....keep working on it.

But at the end of the day that cannot be an excuse not to do something. Good health is something you OWE yourself and you can make excuse after excuse as to why you havn't done something to change the things that make you unhappy, but fear of failure should NEVER be one of them.

So what if you miss the beat? So what if you move to the left when they move to the right?
Are you having fun? Do you feel accomplished when you are done? Yes? Well then, guess what?

You are doing it RIGHT!!!

On FIRE!

So, a few months ago I decided to become a Beachbody Coach since I was back on the healthy wagon (counting calories and working out regularly) and work out to Beachbody programs anyway.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Turbo Jam. Well, Friday is the release date for Turbo Fire!!
It is an insane HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout program.
Is it crazy that I feel like a junkie I am so excited?
I already know it will kick my butt and yet I still want it and am willing to pay money for it :)
(gee...that sounds oddly like other things ;).

Anyway....my business is starting to pick up and I have a feeling that after the release of Turbo Fire it will go through the roof.

I can't wait!
If you have ever considered getting into being a Coach, now is the time. This is going to be a huge business expander.
