Strengthening Your Core- The Importance of Ab Workouts
With summer approaching, the question I am most frequently asked is “How do I get my abs back?” Well, I could tell you to do 1,000 crunches and drink a bunch of water and eat healthy but it’s a little more complicated than that! And 1,000 crunches aren’t going to get it done anyway. In order to have “abs” you need to strengthen your core. There’s a difference between core and abs. They work together but in order to have one, you need the other. You need to sweat. And by doing so, engaging more than just your ab muscles. Core strengthening involves tightening up the muscles in your…

The Truth About Sugar… Why It’s Making Our Society Fatter
Let’s talk about sugar and it’s VICIOUS cycle. Cravings. Not getting full. Our bodies need carbohydrates for energy. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates meaning our body uses them instantly and we remain hungry. Artificial sweeteners/high fructose corn syrups, candy, soda, can trick our body and release a chemical (dopamine) aka the “feel good” chemical that gives us a high and we CRAVE it more. Eat a candy bar. Chances are it’ll “satisfy” that craving and 20 minutes later you’re craving something else. Don’t get me started on food addictions. That’s another blog post to come. When our bodies encounter artificial ingredients they don’t know how to store…

Hammer and Chisel: 60 Day Results
Results are in, y’all! And I am super proud! If you haven’t been following my journey, you may not know that I started Hammer & Chisel around Christmas time. It’s an 8 week program and focuses a lot on strength, muscle building and shaping, and leaning out with some high intensity workouts. I started this program with hopes to sculpt my muscles and lean out a little and I’m really happy with the results. The nutrition plan is simplified. The program comes with color-coded portion control containers (yes, the same one’s from 21 Day Fix and you DO get a new set with this program) which make it…

Why I Became a Beachbody Coach
I remember that day that I walked into the gym, not really sure of what I was doing but decided to give it a shot. I had worked out before in a gym, granted it was in high school, but I could pull it off, right? Well… I got some weird looks. I was a scrawny, skinny girl, barely 20 years old, and couldn’t lift much to save my life. I looked around at my company and was clearly out of place. I didn’t know what I was doing and no one bothered to help me. Instead, I heard a couple snickers when I tried to use the leg press…

21 Day Fix Extreme Results!!!
I just wrapped my second ever round of 21 Day Fix Extreme on Monday and wow! I loved this program when I used it for competition prep back in February because it gave me shredded results and I loved it again now for that very same reason. The pic on the left is 8 days after my last competition. That’s right. I was that girl who binge ate for a week after my show, was bloated, felt like crap, and what did I have to show for it except the pics on the left. So I knew I needed to step it into high gear for 3 solid weeks.…

21 Day Fix Extreme is Under Way!
As of yesterday I officially started 21 Day Fix Extreme! I have made some really crummy decisions with food last week and am paying for it now. I gained 6 lbs in one week. Granted, our competition was the 27th and we were really lean, but the amount of cake, ice cream, BBQ, snacks, cheat meals, and all around junk I ate wasn’t pretty. So I did it, I’m done with it, and I’m starting fresh this week. The last time I did 21 Day Fix extreme was in prep for my first bikini competition and I got some pretty incredible results. (See below) So I’m ready for another 21…
