How is your fitness going?
I really mean that question. Do
you think about it every day? Not in an obsessive way but did I do something
healthy for my body ad heart kind of way.
Most if not all of us have had or have a gym membership,
that magic membership that is going to change our lives…so has it? Again take a
moment to answer that personally, has it proven to give you the results you are
looking for? If the answer is yes! Than a huge high five to find routines and exercise
that are proving to be beneficial. BUT for some of you just thought “I don’t know
I go every other day” I have a gym bag but…yes you! Don’t get me wrong I love
the gym, I love the energy when you walk into a heart bumping sweat flying
building (I’m weird like that) but it’s true, but what is also true is just because
the person next to you found their routine and getting results doesn't mean you
are or not the results you want maybe you are maintaining doing your heart good
or are you? I’m asking because the gym is like everyone membership for it to
prove beneficial in our lives and be useful we must use it to its fullest
potential the same with your body.
Confessions of a real Gym Rat – up before the sun every
morning at the age of 16 to hit the gym before the doors barley opened that was
me, I ran 3 miles 6:30 min miles, lifted free weights (I did have amazing
traps) my upper body was my pride and joy, I did the circuit training and ended
with 10 minutes abs routine. Every day!!! My sister and I were staples in that
place; part of the family, but my upper body always improved my lower body
stayed the same my legs and thighs although strong where heavy and thick “just
my body type” so I thought! We continued this routine for years! And I was
skinny I had under 10% body fat but I still was thick. And then I gained weight
in my late teens and early 20’s, I ate junk food and then went on slim fast
diets and consumed way too much coffee.
So I share my story because I know how it feels to have that
membership and have the same routine day in a day out and just “maintaining
what I had, fit arms and thick thighs not calf definition)I needed a change but
that didn't come until I moved joined a bigger gym, tried a few classes out,
worked out in my apartment gym because I
didn't have cable and that was a way to watch TV.
My life changed after my 1st baby I gained 45 lbs (unhealthy pounds) and went
home from the hospital with more than
that “Sigh” I began working out at home with my baby in the swing, I walked and
started Power 90 DVD– with my sisters. (Hello Tony) a man who loved squats and
abs, but it worked. We started training for the Disney marathon and found out I
was expecting baby #2 (fast forward after her I lost all and more of my baby
weight and loved working out at home it was amazing) then baby #3 came yes I
had learned to eat better, workout with 2 babies and one on the way at home and
although gained 30 lbs it was healthy and came off quickly. My thigh’s still thick and my arms still
strong and a belly that had 3 babies in 4 years needed some extra work…hello
Insanity I know I've shared this before BUT I want to make known that I was a
gym rat, I was that girl that loved the workout but I was getting the same
results for years I was maintaining until... Insanity changed my body, I found
legs that I never thought possible I found abs that everyone said would be gone
forever and I found ME someone that although selfish sounding fell in love with
my body the body that was no longer 16 but one that was in her 30’s and proudly
carried 3 babies and I found energy, happiness and my marriage is amazing. Why wouldn't
I want to share what I found with you maybe you are the one stuck in a rut, in
the same routine wondering “is this really worth it” “Am I ever going to feel
more like the person inside” “will I ever gain my confidence back” the answer
is yes, yes and yes! You can BUT you have to try new things jump out the normal
and try new things a new class, a new routine, hire a trainer, ask me I have so
many workouts I do know all from my home I know what works and I know how to get
the results to transform your body and your life it’s amazing that I get so
excited to share it with you.

all those things at once.
