I want to start my first blog by introducing myself and letting you all know who I am and what brought me to starting the journey I'm on and bringing this blog to you. I've always been someone that enjoys being fit and healthy. Growing up as a gymnast and running track in High School, fitness and healthy eating is something I truly enjoy and have a passion for. I love helping people that want to do the same in their life. I'm sure you've all seen the infomercials on TV about Beachbody and their workout DVD's. I saw the infomercials for P90X with Tony Horton and had borrowed the workout DVD's from my sister-in-law. I had them for about a month when she asked for them back. They had worked for me, but not as well as I wanted because I didn't have all the right equipment and as a Mom of two boys the 45 minute workouts were very long. At the time I had just started my Master's Program online and was very busy with late nights of homework, working full time, and taking care of two busy little boys (as well as my husband). I had then decided to try Shaun T's "Rockin Body" workouts. I bought them because they were on sale and I thought they'd be a fun way to get in exercise. So I would do workouts in the morning when my boys were sleeping and could manage to drag myself out of bed. Even though I was very determined to get back in shape, I was finding it very difficult because I just DID NOT have the energy. I'd fall asleep at night trying to do homework, drag myself out of bed in the morning, and be frustrated often with my children do to stress. I knew working out would help with the stress but I was finding it difficult to fit it into my busy schedule as well as have the energy. I just had to find something to change this!
Now fast forward to about a month ago. I had been going to the gym on my lunch breaks at work because I was determined to get myself in shape to run my second half marathon this Fall. I had been going a few times a week and was getting discouraged because I wasn't seeing any changes. One afternoon I was on Facebook and an old college friend posted that she had samples of Shakeology that she was giving out. I instantly messaged her and said tell me about these! I want to try! So she mailed out two samples to me, chocolate and strawberry, and I made my shake the very next day. I was excited because it tasted so yummy! I wrote back to her and let her know, so we started talking and I ordered the T25 DVD's as well as the shakes. I started them as soon as I got them and couldn't imagine the differences I was noticing right away! I had more energy, my digestive issues were gone, and I was feeling happier! Could this really all be from these shakes I'm having for breakfast? The T25 workouts were just what I needed. I was sweating and huffing and puffing in just 25 minutes and in only 5 weeks noticed my abs coming back and that I was slimming down. The soreness in the first week was insane, but IT WAS WORKING! I had gone to the gym for months and didn't see these changes I noticed in 5 WEEKS! This really works!
I had been telling friends and family about it and they wanted to try it right away, so I was sending friends to my coach, but she said "Chrissy you've just got to be a coach. You are getting them interested from your experience, why don't you help them, you are such a motivator!" So that's what brought me to Beachbody and becoming a coach.
I can't express the life changes that this company has brought me to in such a short time. I am happier and healthier and helping people feel better about themselves. I'm helping people make positive changes in their lives and it feels great! The fact that in only 3 days my mother has noticed ailments go away that has been bothering her for years is truly a miracle. I couldn't ask for a better gift!
So now here I am, I want to share this journey with all of you! I want to try to help and inspire others to make these positive changes in their lives by sharing my own journey as well as the journey's of my family and friends that have joined me. The people I've met are truly inspiring, supportive, and motivational. I can't express how Beachbody can truly change your life. Please read my blog, ask questions, comment, and share your story with me!
