TABATA POWER Workout - Insanity MAX 30

 Tabata Power - Insanity Max 30

So what is Tabata? The Tabata Workout is "High Intensity Interval Training" (H.I.I.T Training) which is structured to working out hard for 20 minutes, and resting for 10 seconds for 6-8 rounds.  There are no weights in Tabata Power - Insanity Max 30, your weight is your body, and trust me, you will be begging for mercy.

Everything You Need To Know About Insanity MAX 30

I really enjoy this workout, and my leg strength has definitely increased. As an obstacle course racing athlete, leg strength is very important. Although Insanity Max 30 workouts do not use weights, I do incorporate some P90X and Body Beast Strength workouts because I enjoy lifting and working out with weights. This all depends on your goals.

As with all Shaun T workouts, Tabata Power is just insane, but thank goodness for the full-time modifier, anyone can do this and get through it. I made it all the way to the end, but I had to modify a couple times. As with any workout, always listen to your body and make sure that you are using proper form. It's not about how fast you go, it's about doing your best, and powering through with good form.

TOP 9 Reasons Why People Hate Money

 TOP 9 Reasons Why People Hate Money

I have met a lot of people who were motivated by money and witnessed them build huge businesses, then fall right back down to rock bottom. I've also met some brilliant people through my travels, some of whom have graduated from the most prestigious universities in the world (not that it matters), and they had little or no money, and they were happy as can be. I am 44 years old, and can honestly say that I have been on both sides of the spectrum. It wasn't too long ago that I was in the nightlife industry, and I built a lifestyle marketing business to a six-figure income. My business specialized in hosting hedonistic parties, special events, and nightlife/concierge travel services. I was living a life that most people dreamed of, but I was not happy. I had a huge business and only a handful of real friends. That all changed when I turned my life around and started living a more healthier and fit lifestyle. I went from night clubs to fit clubs! I changed my whole mind-set and despised money. I hated money because it reminded me of all the fake friends that I had in the past, and all the mistakes that I made when I thought I was invincible. I hurt a lot of people during the process, and I just didn't want to do it again.

How I Went From Night Life to Fit Life

"I went from being broke, to having money, to reaching rock bottom, to making it back on top - this time, I'm doing things right" ~ Coach Arnel

So yes, I understand how some people can hate money. It took me awhile to finally realize the other side of what money can actually do (good things), because I was only exposed to the bad side, and the "Get Rich Quick". I ask that when you read this post, that you read it with an open mind, and then ask yourself this question, what do I do with my money?

TOP 9 Reasons Why People Hate Money:

1.  Because they don't have it
2.  Because of jealousy
3.  Because they abused money in the past and are afraid of it
4.  Because they don't know how to manage their finances
5.  Because they compare themselves with others
6.  Because they watch too much TV
7.  Because they think that money can only buy material things
8.  Because they are mad at the world, and quit on themselves and their goals
9.  Because they are negative thinkers and live under a rock

"Money is not the root of all evil, people are"

Here Are 9 Ways That Money Has Helped Me:

-  Start my own business so I can control my income instead of a boss
-  I can travel the world on my own terms
-  I can donate to great causes and my church
-  I can support and spend more time with my family
-  I can eat healthier, or whatever I want. If I want to eat at a nice restaurant, I can.
-  I can pay for my daughter's college tuition to help with her future
-  I have a roof over my head
-  I can help more people on a global scale live a more healthy and fulfilling life
-  I understand that it's not about money, it's what you do with the money that counts, I know that now.

 

Working remotely in Guatemala

 I am now focused on helping people get healthy and fit physically and financially, I wouldn't change it for the world!

I live a very simple life, but yes......I still enjoy nice things. I don't need to stay at the Four Seasons, but it is nice every once in awhile. I have no motivation or passion to buy a Bugatti, but I do appreciate what it takes to create the masterpiece. You don't have to be money-motivated to achieve big goals, and I am proof of that. Money means many things to different people, so please stop blaming it on the paper (if you are that type of person), it's not the paper, it's YOU.

If money has helped you do some amazing things, please feel free to comment below and share it with me, I'd love to hear from you! =)

HIKING Muddy Mountains Wilderness - Las Vegas

 Hiking Muddy Mountains with the Family - Las Vegas

My family and I spent a day exploring the Muddy Mountains Wilderness - Anniversary Narrows Trail which is almost an hour outside of Las Vegas, NV. I visit Las Vegas about once or twice a year because my brother and his family live here, and it's just an awesome place. When you go beyond the glitz and the glamour of the LV Strip, there are plenty of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, trail running, skiing, snowboarding (Mt. Charleston), and water skiing! I love it here because of the scenery. I grew up around beaches (trust me, I'm not complaining), but when I travel, I do prefer to visit places which are at higher elevation.

My Nephews showing me what BEASTMODE is all about!

Muddy Mountains Wilderness was absolutely amazing. It's crazy how these mountains and rock formations were actually formed by water over millions of years! Walking through the 600 foot deep slot canyon takes you back in time about 300 million years ago. Even more amazing is that people have lived in and passed through these mountains for thousands of years. They have left behind rock art, artifacts, agave roasting pits, and rock shelters.

Family Day - The Best Thing in the World!

We didn't get a chance to make it up the highest peak which is called Muddy Peak, so I'll have to come back next time. I created a quick 2 minute video from our fun family hike, so feel free to watch it. And as always, stay active my friends!

Insanity MAX 30 - Friday Fight Round 1

 Insanity Max 30 - Friday Fight Round 1

I did a sneak peek into the Insanity Max 30 Friday Fight Round 1 Workout, and I would have to say that you really have to be humble coming into this workout. I have done all of the P90X and Insanity Extreme Programs, and the thing about Shaun T, he continues to push you to the limits, and I absolutely love it. When Shaun T said he was back, he wasn't playing! =)

Everything You Need To Know About Insanity Max 30

My overall experience on this workout was that is more focused on legs and core. There were some upper body and shoulder focused movements, but I found that my legs were the primary target. Once I did all the cardio and leg based movements, I felt pretty beat by the time I got to the upper body movements. Yes, you can pace yourself until you reach the end of the workout, but that's not what Insanity Max 30 Workouts is all about. It's about finding your MAX, pushing yourself to the limits (with proper form of course), then trying to beat that #maxout time. The more you push yourself and surpass your max out times, the better results that you will get. I felt pretty good doing this workout for the first time, and I maxed out at 17:50. Looking forward to continue increasing that time =).

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE 21 DAY FIX EXTREME?
It's to get you seriously shredded in a very short period of time. The 21 day fitness and nutrition program will combine simple portion control, focused nutrition, and extreme 30 minute workouts.

INSPIRATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The original 21 Day Fix Program has helped so many people transform their lives with health and fitness, and now it's not only about that, it's about kicking it up a notch, or two! It's about challenging people to push past their comfort zones and see how far they can take their body in 21 days.

WHO IS IT FOR AND WHY WOULD THEY BENEFIT FROM IT?
The new 21 Day Fix Extreme program is for people with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline like a big event, vacation or a photo shoot. It's also for 21 Day Fix grads and people who have done P90X, Insanity, and Focus T25. It's also for people who don't have much weight to lose, and are ready to get shredded and finally get a six-pack. And lastly, it is also for people who dislike counting calories , weigh their food or follow complicated recipes. It's designed to make losing weight and getting shredded simple.

HOW ARE THE WORKOUTS COMPARED TO 21 DAY FIX?
The workouts are similar as they are all 30 minutes. The basic movements are still there, but now they are just more challenging. Weights are used in everything but the yoga and breaks in between intervals are much shorter. There is also a modifier to accommodate everyone.

WHAT IS THE COUNTDOWN TO COMPETITION MEAL PLAN?
It's Autumn's secret to shred fat and lean out. It's the same plan that she follows for a big competition or a photo shoot. It's a tough mental challenge, but well worth it.

How to Relieve Stress during the New Year

 How to Relieve Stress during the New Year

STRESS! We all have been through it =) It's part of everyday life. From setting big goals for the New Year, to meeting work and business deadlines, to cooking dinner for the family and even traveling....stress is part of living. I have learned that in order to get through the stressful times, it's all about how you handle it. Have you ever heard when people say, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"? Yeah, me too! But it's not as easy as taking a step back, and just exhaling =). Like anything, it takes practice and training your mind and body. Here are some ways to help you relieve some stress during the New Year.

6 Ways to Help You Relieve Stress During the New Year:

1.  SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS - Sometimes all it takes to relieve some stress is by spending some time with the people who matter most. I'm talking about the people who know you inside and out. It could be family, friends, or an accountability partner. Go out and watch a movie, or have a nice lunch or dinner.  You can even do a Karaoke Night ha ha! I don't recommend doing anything that would further enhance your stress like bar hopping. Temporary solutions like drinking alcohol can make it even worse once you reach the state of sobriety. So keep the activity positive, and you'll be on your way to killing your stress level.

2.  WORKOUT - Just being active can relieve stress. Working out doesn't have to be about doing a gym or home workout. What works for other people, may not work for you. Try walking around the block, or running in the park. How about grabbing your kids Xbox and hitting that Dance Party =) You can also do some fun activities like a group bike ride, park basketball, joining a dodge ball league, and even rock climbing. Oh, and don't forget about yoga! You'll be surprised what being active can do for stress. It's like a distraction and a form of trickery =)

Working out with family

3.  DON'T EAT JUNK - Trust me, I'm guilty of this! But it doesn't work. I've seen people get stressed out and they either go on an all day eating binge, or mall shop till they drop. I highly recommend doing the complete opposite. If you focus on eating healthy during the stressful times, your body will get the necessary nutrients that it needs to make better decisions and gain energy to get through it. So next time you are stressed and HANGRY, skip the McDonalds and go straight to the nearest health food store or cafe. Or do what I do, blend up a Shakeology and make plans to have fun with some awesome people!

4.  TRAVEL - So you bought the new iPhone and a new car, but you're still stressed out and unhappy. It's because material things are not the solution to stress. Like anything, it's only a temporary solution. Try doing memorable things like traveling. Traveling doesn't have to be expensive either. For a price of that iPhone 6 that you just bought, you could have a nice vacation. Oh, and I know that we live in a day and age where smart phones are a must, but all I'm saying is be aware of your spending, and maybe try focusing on things that will better your life and give you game-changing experiences. Traveling can help you learn more about yourself and the people around you. I can't "stress" how travel can be the best medicine for happiness, just go out there and do it, you'll thank me later =).

5.  PEOPLE WATCHING - This always does the trick for me! I can sit at a park for hours just watching people. It's really a relaxing activity and can be for some great entertainment too, plus it's free! Who knows, you might get some new fashion ideas or workout tips from watching people. It can also be an opportunity to meet new people, and even that future special someone! wink wink

6.  REST - After all the stress in our lives, sometimes we ignore one of the most important things that can be the only solution, which is rest. I remember before I became a full-time Beachbody Coach, I used to have 3 jobs and worked 100 hours per week, those were the days! Granted I had no time to rest, but when I did, sometimes I didn't take it because I was too focused on making money to pay my bills, which stressed me out even more. Rest and recovery is like the Holy Grail of your well-being, don't ignore it. Listen to your body and take care of it, it's the only one that you get.

So there you have it! Use these helpful anti-stress hints to keep you focused on accomplishing big goals during the New Year, it will be worth it! Remember, stress is just an obstacle in life. They are not there to defeat you unless YOU let it, obstacles are there to make you stronger. Have a great year, you deserve it!
