My Story With Beachbody

Being a fitness professional for years, I wasn't that interested in joining as a Coach with Beachbody at first since I workout at the gym and not so much at home. But I realized that I actually DO workout at home prepping for my classes and I did start with some home videos back in the day. And I know MANY people that still use them to escape the gym or because it's a quick way to get a workout in, etc. So then it seemed to fit for me. Especially since I am a product of Turbo Jam! Been doing Turbo for over 13 years! I love it!

Now, as I Coach and help those customers that Beachbody sends to me, and my own friends & acquaintences, I really see the value in stepping out more to help people and, in return, helping myself with a weekly paycheck from Beachbody! =)

I love what I do and if you want to know really...what it is, watch this clip and see if it's for you. You never know and it's Free sign-up thru this Friday...goes back to $40 to sign up to be a Coach Jan 1. Of course you can just login for free so I can be your free Coach =) and for all the free info on the site. I love it!

So check out the video and see if joining my team is for you or someone you know...

This will cleanse your body and help you to drop a few pounds - just in time for those NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTIES --- AND --- THE NEW YEAR!

Get your Shakeology at: www.TurboAmanda.com
If you live near me, you can get your 9 servings from me. 9 for $45. Let me know quickly - I have limited quantities.

WHAT IS 'THE CLEANSE'?
The Shakeology cleanse is a 3 day calorie-restricted, nutrient-dense eating plan. It will flush unwanted toxins out of your body. This is a great jump start for your new year fitness goals or a great plateau breaker from your normal routine. Unlike other cleanses you may have heard of or tried in the past that allow less than 300 calories, the Shakeology cleanse consists of 800-1200 calories, which is a healthy short-term calorie restriction plan.

The cleanse is right for you if your goals are:
• Rid system of toxins
• Nutrient efficiency
• Reduce bloat and weight loss

How does it work?
• Flushes toxins
• Brings your hydration levels to homeostasis
• Helps body absorb nutrients

Results:
• Weight loss
• Feeling cleaner, healthier
• Reduce bloat

The Program (Same for all 3 Days):
Start: One cup green tea (I don't drink tea, so I will be replacing with warm water and lemon)
Breakfast: Shakeology (with water and ice only – may add ½ piece fruit)
Snack: One piece fruit
Lunch: Shakeology (water and ice only) followed by one cup green tea (or cup warm water with lemon or lime)
Snack: Shakeology (water and ice only) – can drink this after dinner instead
Dinner: Salad with greens, 3 servings of veggies, 4 ozs of grilled white meat or fish (or tofu, beans, of vegetarian) and 2 tablespoons low-fat salad dressing
NOTE: You can eat your salad for lunch instead of dinner if you prefer.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER
NO DAIRY (EVEN ALMOND MILK/ RICE MILK).
THE CLEANSE IS MADE TO DO WITH EXERCISE BUT NOT INTENSE EXERCISE.
NOT RECOMMENDED TO DO THE CLEANSE MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH, HAVE HEALTH ISSUES, PREGANT, NURSING, ETC.

Everyone’s body is different and will have different reactions/results. Listen to your body, and remember - I am here if you have ANY questions.

WHERE TO GET IT?
Get your Shakeology at www.TurboAmanda.com or from me directly. Message me to learn how to get a discount and save on shipping!

Looking forward to it!

1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon cinnamon (yep!)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional, I didn't have this the first time I made it and it still turned out fine.)
- 3 cups flour
- 3 cups unpeeled zucchini, shredded
- 1 cup walnuts, ground (optional)

DIRECTIONS
- Measure and mix all ingredients except flour, zucchini, and walnuts.
- Beat one to two minutes on low speed, and then 1 minute on medium speed.
- Stir in flour gradually, then add zucchini, then walnuts.
- Divide into 2 greased and floured pans.

Fitness Finally Pays

I have been in the fitness industry for over 19 years and to be honest - you don't make a whole lot of dough! =) You do it for the PASSION you have to help people get better, to burn calories, to have fun, to lose weight, to bond with friends, to make new friends, to push people to their next level, to help them reach their GOALS... it's not a glamorous job - but we LOVE it!!

Despite all the work we do and the amount we make for it...we still enjoy every moment. Am I right??

But I got lucky - really lucky - and found another "job" in fitness to add to my plate. Like I needed that!!! But I LOVE being a Coach with Beachbody. I don't have to sell anything, because everyone knows P90X or Turbo Jam, etc. Beachbody gives me customers because I started building a team to help me share fitness. I get a weekly paycheck every Thursday - what a blessing!

If you'd like to do the same, take some time to watch this clip and then call or msg me to chat about it. I won't "sell you" on it, on being a Coach. You have to want to. So let me know if you do. I love having a team of Do-ers! Maybe you'll join in and love it to.

Here ya go!

EXERCISE & PREGNANCY

Exercising While Pregnant
by Amanda Henderson


We all know that exercise is an important part of our existence. It keeps our bodies fit, it helps us to feel great, and overall, to live longer, healthier lives. Exercise can help you to strengthen your muscles, maintain/lose weight and manage your stress. Exercise is excellent for expectant mothers.

You no longer need to think that pregnancy means that you are going to get fat! Being pregnant is life-changing and can be an emotional and physical roller coaster at times. As your body changes, you may experience a variety of things along the way, including: nausea, weight gain, and stiff/loose muscles. Exercise can benefit your pregnancy by relieving stress, helping to balance your hormones, increasing your stamina and energy, and helping to prepare you for labor and delivery. Eating good, wholesome foods is absolutely necessary to help your exercise regimen. Take a look at your daily schedule and make exercise a top priority.

You should always consult with your health care provider before starting on any exercise program, to ensure that the programs are right for you. You don’t want to put you or your baby’s health at any risk.

Listed below are some ways to exercise safely during your pregnancy and other items to consider.

Before You Begin

Before you choose an activity, take into consideration how much exercise you have done in the past. Did you work out a lot, or were you more of a couch potato? If it’s been a while since you’ve exercised, then you should definitely start out slowly. If you are used to exercising, it is still important to take things relatively slow. You may not be used to the extra weight your body is carrying or the amount of energy you now require to move. Know that you will have to do things in moderation and you may have to adjust, as each month changes your body.

Know Your Body

Your body will be going through many changes during your 40 weeks of pregnancy. Being fit during this time requires safe, regular, moderate exercise. If you are used to running a 5K every morning, you may want to reconsider. And if you normally don’t run, now is NOT the time to start training for a marathon! You are supposed to gain some weight, not lose it, so your workouts should be manageable and help to make you feel great!

Clothing

Be sure to have the correct workout attire and shoes required to do the specific activity. An old pair of tennis shoes can wreak havoc on anyone, let alone if you are pregnant! So it’s a good excuse to go shopping for some new items! For clothing, choose materials that keep moisture away and that are comfortable for your body. This includes support bras. Shoes are very important, as they provide protection, support, cushioning, traction and flexibility. With your changing body size throughout your pregnancy, your balance and coordination will be tested. Be sure to have the best and safest active wear for each activity you do.

Choosing An Activity

The key to enjoying exercise during pregnancy is to choose one that you enjoy or are excited to do. Something that is fun or engaging. There are a wide variety of great activities that you can do. Focus on low-impact activities, which will get your blood pumping but won’t put excess strain on your body. You want to keep your BPM under 140 and avoid lying on your back after your third month. Blood flow can be blocked to your baby.

The safest and most productive activities during pregnancy are walking and swimming. You can do both of these exercises throughout your entire 40 weeks. They are low risk for injuries and are easy to do. You can take a nice stroll around your neighborhood, at the mall, at an indoor track, or on a treadmill. So easy!

Some great low impact activities during pregnancy also include:

Yoga – There are all kinds of yoga classes out there and you can find one that works best for you, such as Gentle Yoga, PiYo™ (which also includes pilates and dance elements), or prenatal yoga. Make sure that you don’t do any twisting poses/movements and be weary of some balance poses. You don’t want to twist that waistline where your baby is busy growing. Your ligaments will also be more flexible during this time, where you are more likely to overstretch or become off-balance. Simple poses and stretches are great for you though.

Weight Classes – It’s important to keep those muscles moving! A great muscle or weight class will help you to maintain your muscle and to keep your strength. Make sure you don’t overdo it by using or doing too much. You may need to use lighter weights, even if you are used to heavier ones. You don’t want to pull a muscle when you are pregnant. Especially in the last trimester, when it’s hard enough to get in and out of the car! Give yourself a limit and avoid abdominal work after the third trimester.

Low Impact Aerobics – This could include a variety of classes, including: dance, some non-contact kickboxing classes, cycling, treadmill classes, etc. Obviously, some are more low impact than others, so you will have to be diligent in checking out which ones are right for you. If you have been actively engaged in some of these aerobics classes before you were pregnant, chances are good that your doctor will tell you that you are alright to continue doing those activities. Just make sure that you are keeping to the appropriate beats per minute (typically 140bpm and below) and that you feel good doing it.

Exercise Safety and Signs

During pregnancy, it is especially important not to overwork yourself. Some signs could be shortness of breath, dizziness, feeling faint or nausea. Your body is experiencing many changes that require oxygen and energy needed to help support this new baby growing inside you! This is why you need to know how to measure your body's responses to exercise.

The talk test is a great guide to know if you are working within the right range. You should be able to talk to someone without running out of oxygen. You can also check your pulse to make sure of your beats per minute, or even purchase a heart rate monitor for an easy check during your workout! Some even show calories burned! Just listen to your body.

So now that you know what to do... check-in with your health care provider. Enjoy exercising during your pregnancy! You’ll be so glad that you did – for yourself AND your baby!

Turbo Fire HIIT 25 - My First Try!



Here's my short clip of what Turbo Fire HIIT 25 is like. This is a 25min workout on DVD for home use. Different than Turbo Kick at the gyms.

The HIIT workouts are all about the TURBOs, so lots of plyometrics.

Afterwards, there is a 10min Stretch which compliments to finish off the workout. =) Thumbs up! ~Amanda

I GOT MINE!


Beachbody Products on 12seconds.tv
Special Delivery for me! Sometimes I like to make special purchases that I will know I will use over and over!! ;)


My take on Turbo Fire HIIT15 on 12seconds.tv
Here's what I think about Turbo Fire HIIT 15 workout (15min) and I also did the 10min Stretch on that DVD too. A nice cool down after HIIT 15. Reminds you to take care of your shoulders!

You totally DO feel like you're in the class with them. Everyone looks great and at the end of the workout, they spotlight the participants. It's so cool seeing lots of my Turbo friends!!

If you want more info about Turbo Fire or Shakeology - just ask me.
Or visit my site: www.turboamanda.com

I'm going to CAMP TURBO at the end of the month and I'll be posting about the goings-on there. So be on the lookout! =) ~Amanda
