Lower Body Move of the Week: Warrior III

I thought I would mix things up with some dynamic Yoga!  

• Start standing up, with your feet together
• Hinge forward from the waist, keeping your hands at your side, while lifting your left leg behind you
• Keep your support leg slightly bent, and your left leg straight with your foot flexed and your toes pointed down.
• Hold the pose for five seconds, and then lower back down.
• Repeat two more times
• Switch legs and do another three sets for five seconds each. 

Upper Body Move of the Week: Chest Fly Raises

This exercises may emphasize your chest, but you will feel it almost everywhere!  I learned this move from the 21 Day Fix's Dirty Thirty workout and I fell in love with the dynamic movement!

• Begin laying on your back, arms stretched out holding a light pair of dumbbells
• Simultaneously raise your legs to perpendicular, while bringing your arms, slightly bent together above your chest.
• Lower your legs to a few inches off the floor while lowering your arms back down.
• Repeat! 

Core Move of the Week: Side Bends

Your obliques will thank you for this exercise!  Enjoy!  

• Get in to a side plank position.
• Raise your arm over your head.
• As you bring your arm down, lower your torso down.
• As you lower your torso, make sure you are keeping your shoulder strong, and not sinking in to it.
• Raising your arm back up, lift your torso up.  
• Repeat.

Dream Job Application

Becoming a mom to my three children is by far the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me.  It’s also the most overwhelming thing that has ever happened to me.  Two months after my twin boys were born and Sienna was not even 2 ½, I was overwhelmed, buried, and drowning. 

I knew I needed to do something for ME.  Even writing this, it sounds selfish, but I couldn’t be the mom or wife I needed to be without making some changes.  I wanted to feel like I had skills beyond changing diapers and producing milk.  Honestly, in that time of my life, I couldn’t remember what ELSE I was even good at.  What were my gifts and talents?  I was desperate to change.  I was desperate to try something…anything!

For FOUR years, I had heard about Beachbody and for FOUR years, I had tried to avoid it, ignore, it and push it to the back of my mind.  But somehow, the idea of being a Beachbody coach sneakily crept back in to my thoughts and my heart.  Finally, I decided I had nothing to lose. 

So what if it didn’t pan out?  So what if I never made a huge income?  At the very LEAST, I was saving money on quality products, investing in MY health, and hopefully helping even a few people along the way.  I truly had nothing to lose. 

Not even a year and a half later, I am making a full time income, working part time hours, from HOME with my babies in my arms.  I am helping others not ONLY reach their health and fitness goals, but I am leading a team of people who are earning freedom for their lives, as well. 

I have found my dream job. 

Have you found yours?

I am looking for 20 women to take on this journey with me.  I am looking for 20 women who have been hoping, wishing and praying for an opportunity just like THIS.  I am looking for 20 women to partner with, so you TOO can have your dream job.  

Our partnership will begin on May 11^th.  Click on the link to apply!

Beachbody Coaching: Do I Have to Be Good At Sales?

I thought I was going to be horrible as a Beachbody coach because I have never had a sales job and never WANTED to have a sales job.  And then I realized, Beachbody coaching is not about SELLING...
