Involved in Fitness
I always loved fitness, ever since I was a kid. It started back in the day watching American Gladiators and later wanting to kick like Shelly Blanks from Tae Boπͺπ So naturally I fell into the gym scene and became licensed in many different formats some of which I still teach today.
.
Zumba for almost 10 years! What!?!? It was Zumba where I met my first Real tribe of women who loved making a difference in others lives. I so love the many friendships I've made -and actually half the ladies in this pic are Zumba instructors! π ...
While teaching over the years so many of my students also became instructors and while I LOVED seeing them succeed there was a part of me saddened that I wouldn't see them in class because they had thier own classes now. And then there were less students in my class and I was also barely making rent at the studios I was working at. While I still loved helping people, it started to be bring me down. Until I found a solutuon...
.
I Always thought...π"Wouldn't it be awesome if when I encouraged my students to become involved in Fitness, I got some type of referral bonus!?" Yea that would be nice....not to say money is the only concern here, but to be compensated more for the hours of work behind the scenes (instructors/trainers know what I'm talking aboutπ). After A LOT of research I found the answer and fyi, THIS ALREADY EXISTS!!!!!!!
.
4 years ago I realized this is how Coaching works. I help others. They become successful in thier health journey and then also become Coaches and we run Virtual Fit Clubs TOGETHER.πππ I get customer leads and also residual income and we have actually made a real income from this.
..
Those babes in that pic are some of the Coaches on our team and we go on Coach Retreats together and build our dreams TOGETHER. This was the COMMUNITY I dreamed of all those years ago. Helping others become healthier & building a tribe of women who also benefit from working as a TEAM. πππ Have you always thought you had to figure out this "Fitness career" alone!?!?!π€· Well you don't have to. I'm here to help. Message me about Coaching. This might be your answer too. πππ
Responsible
Who is responsible for your happiness?
.
πYOUπ
.
Nobody else can "make" you happy.... But really, How FREEING is that!?!!!??! Sure it's not gonna be perfect, but I'm not talking about a perfect life. I'm talking about a HAPPY Life. π I'm talking about putting yourself FIRST. When you do that, you take care of YOU so you are better able to love YOURSELF and also have the energy to love and take care of others!!!! That ain't selfish π that's you showing up and OWNING your OWN Happiness! So show up, take responsibility and live that HAPPY life! You are worth it. ππππ
Spice
Day 2 done! As I was doing my Virtual workout I realize I would NOT have decided to do another round if I was bored with it. HONESTLY. I did this program before but I realized I was still improving still lifting heavier, still pushing past my limits and I enjoyed the journey. So why the heck, stop?!?πͺπ
...
You have to ask yourself, "Am I being PUSHED ENOUGH??!" If your workouts don't excite you or you don't see progress from them, then it might be time to switch it up!!!! Don't get stuck & don't get bored people!! Try something new and you will see your flexibility, balance, endurance or strebgth improve!!! Variety is the spice of life π
Sweet Drinks
Yep, I used to love ALLLL the sweet drinks...pop, juice, lemonade freezy pops....all that. To eventually kick the habit, try adding nature's own sweetener to your water. Orange, lemon or strawberries or watermelon are a good choice π I also add an Emergen-C packet every now and then. π Stil not sweet enough!? Get over it. I never said it would be easy. But it IS worth it. π And trust me, NOW this is sweet enough for me. It didn't happen over night, but small changes over time make a HUGE impact in weeks, months and years to come ππππ#youaresweetenoughalready
Back on Track
After tacos, nachos and sangria I'm ready to be back on track tudhh-day!! πππ
..
What's important to me is to have a treat meal about 2x a week. The fit life should NEVER involve deprivation. It's all about finding balance and WANTING to treat your body right so it can run more efficiently.
..
Sometimes that quick fix or treat is worth it, but planning it out is what makes that treat or cheat more enjoyable. π I know some ppl plan out their healthy eating but I kinda do the opposite. I plan out my treats πππ as long as 85% of the week is clean then that %15 can be whatevs. At least that's what I have found works for me!
Yea I'm sluggish today and I knew I would be but I'm making a conscious effort to get back to my superfoods shake and drink plenty of water and eat my veggies so that by tomorrow I can FEEL back to normal. πͺπ Lets make it a great week ppl!!!!! πππ
Flex Friday
Happy Flex Friday friends! I know a lot of you have reached out about what I eat and if I follow A meal plan and to be COMPLETELY honest with you all.πππ πππππππI SUUUUUUUUCCCKK at following rules, diets and yes even portion control is a major struggle. But what I have realized over the years is the ONLY thing that I needed to change was my RELATIONSHIP with food. I used to be an emotional eater and starve and binge myself almost daily!!!! ππ±
....
I had to look at food entirely different if I wanted to get past my emotional and stress eating habits. If you also have struggled or are struggling with this then I want you to know there's hope. I have a NEW group starting soon that WILL help.
Do you relate to any or all of these?
ππππ
πI'm sick of yo-yo diets
π I think about food all the time
π I don''t have time to follow a meal planπ I work out because I HATE my body, not because I love it
πSometimes I don't even workout because I know I will quit
π I just don't know how to start.....
....
Seriously you guys OUR MINDSET HAS TO CHANGE BEFORE BUYING THE NEXT PILL, OR WRAP OR SURGERY!!!!!!!
...
If you want to be held accountable and learn to πLOVE YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUTπ then send me a text or message. I KNOW that struggle and I WANT to help you get past this ππππ
My New Office
Welcome to my new office π seriously I'm sooo in LOVE with our bedroom now! And I still can't believe we bought this house.ππ Eddie repainted the bedroom and we got new furniture to go with it. Like, how is this real life!???!
...
Ya wanna know HOW!??!!? 4 years ago I decided I wanted to start an online Fitness business. And if I wanted to make this work, I knew I needed to showed up to help others to inspire enough belief in themselves to show up also. I've helped hundreds of people now on their health journey & I run my Virtual Fit Clubs with people who also want to help others while also making an income.ππππππThat's it. βThat's why I am here. Working in sweats from my bed.
..
..
Are you a dreamer AND a doer!? Curious to at least see exactly what an "Online Coach" does? If so, check out the comment section....I'll share a group you can request to join..... I will be going live later in that private group teaching you exactly HOW this works. You can also join my Virtual Fit Clubs to see if this IS actually REAL!!! π πππBecause I get it. I used to doubt and judge ANY online businessππBut now that this one has brought me and Eddie freedom then I want to help inspire hope for those that have none. That's why I'm here. And that's why I will be a Coach FOREVER. βI'm here to help, all you need to do is askπππ
...
*MUST BE LOCATED IN US, UK OR CANADA*
..
Each Coachβs income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill. No office required. A bed will do πππ
Just Keep Going
I truly believe everyone CAN be successful in ANYTHING. The one RULE to live by though....
πShow up even on the days you don't feel like it. π
...
...
If you understand that then you will know the importance of taking responsibility for your actions (or lack there of)π
...
...
Time will pass regardless. Would you rather look back and say ...."I wish I would have taken responsibility & changed my life"....or..."I'm glad I took the responsibility to become who I am today."
...
...
JUST.KEEP.GOING.β
Fear
Fear. It's what holds us back. In my experience the BIGGEST reason people stop trying to improve themselves is FEAR of being judged from others. But This judgement is most likely only coming from your perception of everyone around you. And the most important perception is the opinion of YOURSELF.
...
We created scenarios of hate and judgement and built a wall of fear so tall that our fight or flight has kicked in. And instead of facing that fear we decided to run away from it. That leads us right back to where we started. Upset, angry and lost. Again.
....
Now picture that WALL OF FEAR is a mirror. Walk up to it. The mirror reflects yourself 10, 20 and 30 years younger.
..
What would you tell your YOUNGER self? Would you encourage her? Give her hope and tell her that her future is full of love and happiness? Would you tell her to face her fears and be brave and to know that its OK to fail because there are lessons to be learned so she can be wiser, happier and fully love herself and fully love others?
..
Now picture your reflection is you 10,20 30 years from now. What does she look like? Happy with laugh lines & surrounded by people she loves? Is she full of adventurous stories? What wisdom would she share with you? Would she give you hope and tell you that your future is love and full of hope? Would she tell you to stop judging yourself? Would she tell you that you are brave and CAN do this? Would she thank you for chasing your dreams and living your best life?
..
Now picture NOW. Instead go to your mirror NOW. I mean it. Get up. Walk to your bathroom and shut the door. Look at yourself with a smile and Repeat....
πI AM BEAUTIFUL.
πI AM BRAVE.
πI HAVE A STORY TO TELL.
πI HAVE SEEN HEARTACHE BUT I WILL CHOOSE TO LOVE MYSELF EACH AND EVERYDAY BECAUSE I AM ENOUGH.
πI WILL MAKE MY PAST PROUD OF ME.
πI WILL MAKE MY FUTURE SELF PROUD OF ME.
πI WILL MAKE MYSELF PROUD TODAY
πI LOVE MYSELF.
πI LOVE OTHERS.
πI LOVE AND I AM LOVED BY OTHERS.
...
I LOVE you friend βπ Now let's look at any fear as a mirror from now on. Let's face it and choose love over hate. EVERYTIME.
In A Funk
Happy Wednesday friends! I am focused on the positivity today and I will spend my energy on finding solutions rather than talking about problems π
..
Yesterday I was kinda in a funk & I was spending too much time on negative energy whereas I SHOULD be getting back to what I CAN do! If I'm going to spend my energy on anything, why decide to complain about problems rather than taking action helping myself and others in a positive way!?
..
Sounds simple enough, but seriously I struggle time to time, like we all do. But we can't hide from our problems, we must face them (isn't that from The Sound Of Music!?π€)
..
..
I encourage you all to face what's bothering you. YES, I know you have something or someine btinging you down. And Yea, its gonna be hard, but so worth it once you move past it. Find a solution rsther than complain ONE MORE SECOND and if there is NO solution then MOVE ON!!!! Your energy and time will be spent anyway. Might as well use it for the good and learn a new lesson. You got this!!! πππ
