A Week of Hard Labor- Weightlifting Program
I have been waiting for this week for nearly 2.5 years! Since Luke and I completed Body Beast and used it to compete in a fitness competition, we’ve LOVED the workouts that come from Sagi, the Beast himself. So a whole new series of workouts is EXACTLY what we’ve been waiting for. A chance to BEAST up, increase our muscle mass, work through a new lifting routine, and get better results. Who is A WEEK OF HARD LABOR for? • Those who want to start getting ripped, toned, and add muscle.• Those who want to start losing weight.• Women who are looking to add some curves.• Body Beast fans.• Sagi fans.• Fitness fans who want…

Competition Prep: 15 Weeks Out
I might be crazy. I might be certifiably insane. I’ve decided to tackle another competition. Bikini competition #3. March 26th. St. Louis, MO. I may be in the throes of my last semester of nursing school. That day will be my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I will be prepping for finals. Why not throw a competition in the mix too. Well. Here goes! I’m putting Body Beast up on the shelf. Temporary retirement. I’ve been using the program pretty ferociously for the past year and I’ve absolutely loved what it’s done for my body. It’s been outstanding to see my muscles grow in ways I never could’ve imagined. And if you’ve…

Hammer and Chisel Official Launch!!!
You know me. Ok, maybe not all that well. Or maybe you’re new to my blog and you don’t know me at all. Welcome! Let me share with you a little something, in case you haven’t gathered it yet. I love to workout but I didn’t always feel this way. It’s been a recent journey- less than 3 years since I really started going to the gym. I had a baby in between, too. Actually I’ve had three but one since I really started working out. I’ve always been skinny. I decided last summer after my 3rd baby that I didn’t want to be skinny anymore. I wanted to be…

Luke and Ashley’s Body Beast Results
Find someone who shares your passion and do it together. My husband, Luke, really started pushing me to do more heavy lifting about a year ago. I was scared. Like a lot of women, I didn’t want to lift too much and have “dude” muscles! Ok first of all, if you’ve never really lifted before, it’s going to be pretty hard to get “dude” muscles. But it’s entirely possible to build some great definition, strength, and leanness while boosting your metabolism by increasing your muscle mass. This means that the more muscle you have the harder your body works. You burn more calories at rest! We took the plunge…

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…

Beachbody Performance Line Review
I’m kind of a supplement snob. Ask my husband. I’m picky. Too much jittery, not enough protein, it’s not isolate. It tastes like a car tire. It’s packed with sucralose. It makes me need to use the bathroom. Frequently. Let’s be honest. Nobody wants something so “stimulating” that it stimulates you to the bathroom all day. So I was super pumped last week at Summit when Beachbody released their performance line! I tend to watch my sugar intake and am not a fan of artificial sweeteners and frankly, if it’s too sweet, I don’t like it. These are all natural, no artificial sweeteners, and use Stevia, a natural plant leaf…
