Coach Arnel's Brazil Butt Lift Challenge

Brazil Butt Lift - 60 Day Challenge

So you are interested in getting an all-natural BOOTY LIFT! Well I've got a challenge for you that mainly focuses on the gluteal muscles! But let me give you the DEALIO on what Brazil Butt Lift is all about. CHALLENGE DETAILS BELOW

What is Brazil Butt Lift?
Brazil Butt Lift uses cardio, dance, and a unique training method to work your rear end from every angle. You’ll shape your gluteal muscles into that perfectly round Brazilian bum bum (that’s Brazilian or booty!). You’ll lift your butt to look great from every angle, and you’ll firm your butt and thighs and melt away those stubborn saddlebags.

Brazil Butt Lift TriAngle Training works the three major muscles of the buttocks

A native of Brazil and a former ballet dancer, Leandro Carvalho developed his signature training techniques to help sculpt some of the world’s most beautiful bodies. Top supermodels count on him to get their bum bum in shape for a lingerie photo shoot or a revealing runway show. Now women everywhere can firm and perfect their derrières, just like Leandro’s clients do. Based on his wildly popular New York fitness classes, Brazil Butt Lift will show you why Leandro is known as the Brazilian Butt Master.

Brazil Butt Lift: The Supermodel's Secret to the Perfect Butt

Why is it so effective?
The name may be fun, but the results are serious. The secret of Brazil Butt Lift is Leandro’s proven TriAngle Training method. TriAngle Training works the three major muscles of the buttocks—the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus—to reduce the hips, slim the thighs, and lift, contour, and shape the perfect behind.

“It’s all about the angles,” as Leandro likes to say. TriAngle Training works the butt muscles from multiple angles, including your hamstrings and the “heads” of the muscles, the parts that attach to the pelvic bone (which provides support between the upper and lower parts of your body). This is what gives the lift and curve that every woman wants. And unlike other exercise programs that develop the butt muscles, Leandro’s won’t bulk up your thighs.

Insanity Max 30 - SWEAT INTERVALS

Insanity Max 30 - Sweat Intervals (Outdoors)

So this was Day 3, Week 4 of my Insanity Max 30 Challenge. After doing an 8 mile trail run at the Wilderness Trail Park System I decided to go ahead and get my Max 30 Sweat Intervals workout done. With beautiful nature surrounding me, I felt that it was the perfect setting to do my workout. If you ever get a chance to take your workout outdoors, I would highly recommend it.

WATCH VIDEO BELOW

This was my fourth time doing this Max 30 Sweat Intervals workout, and it always kills my legs, but I've noticed that I've been gaining more strength in my lower body, as well as more defined muscles. I tend to have more interests with upper body workouts, and I guess that's why my upper body is much stronger, so this Max 30 program is really what I need to gain and maintain my leg strength for my long term goals as an Obstacle Course Racing Athlete, and avid trail runner.

I have to say that I am pretty excited about going into the second month of my Max 30 Challenge, but there is also a sense of nervousness too. Shaun T workouts are always a challenge for me, but I guess that's why I love them so much. If you like challenges, then you'll love Insanity Max 30.

Insanity Max 30 - Sweat Intervals (Day 3, Week 3)

Here are the exercise movements. You can also watch my quick video below to help you learn how the exercises are performed. I modified a few exercises, and that's ok if you do too. Remember to always listen to your body, and don't focus on speed because proper form is much more important. Once your form gets better, you can then work on speed. Use the people on the videos for guidance, but never let them intimidate you. They all started somewhere, just like we all have to start somewhere. Go at your own pace, and just have fun! =)

The Benefits of Obstacle Course Racing

The Benefits of Obstacle Course Racing

I remember the first time I did an OCR (obstacle course race), it was in back in 2011. I just completed a few rounds of P90X and my brother told me that he was planning on traveling from Pensacola, Fl to North Carolina for a Warrior Dash. Back then, there wasn't very many races like there are today, so to think how crazy it was to drive 12+ hours just to run a 5K in the mud........we must have not been thinking clearly =). But after that race, I crossed the finish line with something that I've never felt before. I felt accomplished. I know that might sound crazy, because I've accomplished things in my life before, but never like this. The camaraderie was nothing I've ever seen before. People helping people. It was like everyone was happy even though they were challenged and "dirty". It was humans being humans, it was primal.

OCR People Are Awesome - Watch Video!

Watch More Obstacle Course Racing Videos by me

That was the beginning of my OCR addiction.

I wear my race shirts pretty much everywhere that I go (because I have a ton of them), and I get a lot of feedback. Some positive, some negative, but most of the time, people are just curious. I always say the same thing "you just have to try it one time". Obstacle Course Racing has changed my life in many ways, so I just wanted to share what I feel have been the prime benefits of OCR based on my experiences.

The BENEFITS of Obstacle Course Racing:

1.  GETS YOU OFF THE COUCH - I find that most people dislike health and fitness because they feel that is is not fun. No matter how beneficial it is to stay active, people just don't envision it as something that they have to do. Obstacle Course Racing has changed that. It has taken the once "couch potato" who has never ran or lifted weights before, to conquering mountainous terrain, rope climbs as tall as buildings, to ice baths and barbwire crawls. Fitness is now fun and exciting! It's how we humans were meant to play....outside.

2.  NEW FRIENDSHIPS - Have you ever been to a social event where you felt out of place? You know, like there is nothing to talk about! #Awkward - The amazing thing about OCR events is that everyone is on the same page as you. Everyone goes through the same struggles. We all cross the same finish line and share stories about cramping, training, how many burpees we did, and getting through that one tough obstacle. The camaraderie is what sells these races. It's what brings people together. It's not about the race, it's about the people who continue to challenge themselves. It's about family.

3.  CONSISTENT GOALS - I know a lot of people who have a tough time setting goals. OCR People are a little different. They set goals to become a better athlete to conquer the next race. Goals are important to the OCR athlete because they want to always do better at the next race. When you set goals, workout, eat healthy, help others....something happens, you become happy and ultimately live a better life. You excel at your job and/or business, and you become a better human. Is there anything else?

4.  STRESS RELIEVER - Has there ever been a time where you said "I regret that workout?" I don't think so. Working out releases stress, and competing or participating in an obstacle course race is no different. I've seen people at the start line complaining about how cold it is, or how dull their relationship is with their spouse, how much they hate their job etc. But once they cross the finish line, what was once taken over their mental space became all but forgotten. At the finish line, there is nothing but tears of joy, big smiles, and lots of hugs! That's where the OCR magic happens!

5.  PROMOTES TRAVEL - I was in Laos (SE Asia) a few months ago, and I met a guy from France who had a Spartan Race shirt! I honestly felt like we were brothers! I've seen people travel to races that have never traveled outside of their city before. OCR has turned athletes into groupies, following races wherever they can get their fix! For months at a time, I would travel from one race to another, every weekend and see the same people. It's amazing! More than amazing is how expensive this hobby is, and people still are willing to pay for it. OCR is a fitness movement that is going nowhere but to the top!

6.  REWARDING - As if crossing the finish line isn't rewarding enough, Obstacle Course Racing can reward you with things like a finisher medal, a beer, a T-shirt or a head band. It's pretty crazy what people will do for a beer! And for some athletes, it has opened doors to big sponsorships. It has also given athletes and investors a chance to become entrepreneurs not only to benefit themselves, but the OCR community as a whole.

7.  VARIETY - I remember when it was all about Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, and Warrior Dash. Now there are other companies such as BattleFrog Series coming out of the woodwork and taking OCR to the next level. There are literally hundreds of OCR events now! Depending on where you live, you can almost always find an OCR every weekend.

8.  KID FRIENDLY - Remember when people would make an excuse not to come to an event because they have their kids? Well, that's not a good excuse anymore because OCR has made a point to accommodate the little ones too! There is nothing better than doing a race, then having your kids do one right after you. A family who races together, stays together! Just imagine how healthy and fit your children will grow up to be if you introduce them to the sport. You never know......they may be the next OCR Rockstar! If not, they will be super healthy and fit, and nothing beats that!

9.  CHARITY - I don't think I've ever attended a race event that did not give back to the community. I mean I know that there are some shady ones out there, but for the most part, all OCR companies are committed to giving back. I don't know about you, but It's just a good feeling to know that when you are running a race, meeting new friends, visting new places, and getting super fit that at the same time you are part of something much bigger, and that is making a difference.

Top 10 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights

 Reasons Why Women Should Lift Weights

So many woman feel like the only way to lose weight is by doing cardio, but soon find out that yes they can lose weight, but they still have the flab. Cardio is great, but that's only have of the equation.

If you're looking for optimal fitness, longevity, and that lean look, then weight training is essential. It's a misconception that lifting weights will get you bulky. Read on to find out how weight lifting is one of the best methods to burn fat.

Still not convinced? Here are 10 reasons to help you reconsider:

1.  BURN MORE FAT - A study that was done at Tufts University found that when overweight women lifted and pushed weights twice a week, they lost an average of 14.6 pounds of fat and gained 1.4 pounds of muscle. The women who dieted and did not lift weights only lost 9.2 pounds of fat, and had no muscle gain. When you do a program such as the Chalean Extreme Challenge or a 21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge, your metabolism is elevated and you continue to burn fat even hours after the workout, unlike a regular cardio workout where you stop burning fat shortly after the workout.

2.  CHANGE THE LOOK OF YOUR BODY - Weight training can slim you down and can give you curves. When you drop only 3 percent of your body fat, that can translate to a total loss of 3 inches off your hips and thighs. And no, you will not bulk up, woman don't have enough muscle building hormones to gain a lot of mass like men do. If you focus on eating clean and create a calorie deficit, you will burn fat.

3.  BOOST UP METABOLISM - Did you know the less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism will be? It's true! As woman age, especially woman over 40, they lose muscle fast. When you eat healthy without resistance training, up to 25% of weight loss may be muscle loss. Weight training will preserve your lean muscles and keep your metabolism going.

Lifting Weights with P90X - Get Lean!

4.  GET STRONGER AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT - Lifting weights increases functional fitness. It makes everyday tasks much easier like carrying children, lifting grocery bags, and picking up heavy luggage while traveling. According to Mayo Clinic, when you lift weights on a regular basis, you can be 50% stronger in 6 months. Lifting weights also builds emotional strength by boosting self-esteem and confidence.

5.  BUILD STRONG BONES - It's been documented that weight training among woman is highly recommended to build and maintain bone mass which will help prevent osteoporosis.

6.  FIGHT DEPRESSION - Just like cardio and low impact exercises such as yoga, weight lifting can also alleviate depression. The endorphins that are released during aerobic exercises are also present during resistance training.

7.  IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE - You don't have to be an elite athlete to also get the benefits of weight training. Improved muscle mass and strength will help you in all types of athletic events such as obstacle course racing, swimming, skiing, cycling or whatever physical activity that you're involved with.

8.  INJURY AND ARTHRITIS REDUCTION - Lifting weights can improve joint stability, and builds stronger ligaments and tendons. Training with proper form can also help prevent injuries of daily life and can also improve physical function with people who have arthritis. A study from the University of Wales in Bangor, UK found that mildly disabled participants who lifted weights for 12 weeks increased the frequency and intensity at which they could work, with less pain and increased range of motion.

How To Do P90X at the Gym

9.  HEART HEALTHY - Did you know that more than 480,000 women die from cardiovascular disease each year, making it the #1 killer for woman over the age of 25. Weight lifting can increase your good "HDL" cholesterol and decreases your bad "LDL" cholesterol. It also lowers your blood pressure. A study from the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that people who do 30 minutes of weight training each week have a 23% reduced risk of developing heart disease compared to the people who didn't lift weights.

10.  FIGHT DIABETES - In addition to keeping your ticker strong, lifting weights can improve glucose utilization (which is the way your body processes sugar) by as much as 23%. A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 16 weeks of strength training can improve glucose metabolism in a way that is comparable to taking diabetes medication. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more efficient your body is at removing glucose from the blood, which can reduce complications from diabetes and even help prevent type 2 diabetes in the first place. Pretty cool huh =).

Insanity Max 30 - TABATA STRENGTH (Outdoors)

Insanity Max 30 - Tabata Strength Workout

I just finished Week 3 of my Insanity MAX 30 Challenge, and so far I would have to say that Tabata Strength is my favorite so far. I've been loving the whole program, and my legs seem to be getting much stronger which is what I need for my obstacle course racing events. I enjoyed Tabata Strength because of the upper body exercises which is my strongest.

During Day 4, Week 3 of my Max 30 Challenge that I've been hosting with my Online Challengers, I decided to do my Tabata Strength workout at Curtis Hixon Park which is a beautiful park overlooking the historic University of Tampa. The weather was perfect, and I had good company as well. That's what I love about Beachbody Fitness, you can take it anywhere, and with Beachbody on Demand, it's just going to get even better.

I AM NOT LUCKY

I am not LUCKY!

I recently saw a travel post called "How To Get Lucky" from my friend Nina who I met while I was backpacking through the Philippines in Sept/Oct 2014 and it inspired me to share a little bit of my own on the topic from my 4 months that I spent in Southeast Asia. This is a re-post from what I shared with my Coach Team on a private facebook group page:

RE-POST: I'm Not Lucky

I just wanted to share something with you guys. Just recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Asia for almost 4 months thanks to my "mobile" Beachbody Business, yes I'm a Digital Nomad =). You know, "If you have access to the internet, you can work your business anywhere type of business". Well, during my travels I met a lot of other people who had their own digital companies, just traveling around the world, going where ever they please, doing whatever they wanted, and just enjoying their freedom, kinda like me. We talked on secluded beaches and mountain huts overlooking hill tribe villages about how we were able to do this (have the freedom to travel and work anywhere), and we talked for hours! The one thing that I always remembered us talking about was when people we met who were on weekend getaways or 10 day holidays (short vacations) would say that we were so lucky....that I was LUCKY to have the opportunity to just be able to travel anytime I wanted, for as long as I wanted. And to be honest, yes I am lucky, but what does that actually mean? Do they think that I just won the lottery and I am just sitting on a beach enjoying what I didn't work for?

Let me tell you something team. For a lot of people, they may think that I am lucky, or that my Coach Lindsay is lucky (btw, my Coach and friend Lindsay went from a single mother, miserable bartender with thousands of dollars in debt to a self-made millionaire in only 4 years), and all of these people you see who are successful, just traveling the world, and jet setting with their families. But I have to say that we are NOT LUCKY. We, and I mean I worked pretty damn hard to get the FREEDOM that I have today.

I Went From Night Life to the Fit Life - Click Here to Read My Story!

I made a decision over 4 years ago that I was sick and tired of where my life was. I hated working 3 jobs. I hated not having money to support my daughter. It killed me to watch the travel channel knowing that I couldn't afford to experience all of these amazing places, plus I was 30 pounds overweight and unhappy. I told myself that it's time to get my life together, and stop making excuses, and blaming others for my failures. Beachbody was my answer (I got in the best shape of my life with Beachbody Fitness), it was my ticket to my dreams. So I busted my ass for 2 1/2 years really hard and I was able to rid myself from a BOSS, you know....a J.O.B. (just over broke)

So as I sit on a secluded beach with some other digital nomads listening to these people calling me lucky, I say to myself.......nope, I'm not lucky, I just had the BALLS to do something with my life. I am where I am today because I have helped my community. I have changed lives, and at the same time, changed my own. I am not lucky, I worked hard for everything, and I still do. If anything, I am lucky to have a team (YOU) that cares enough about me to trust me to lead them to success.

For that, I am lucky.

----------------------------------------------------------------

And that was a message to my Beachbody Coach Team, and what I wanted to share with all of you. The point of this share was not to brag, but to honestly let people know that I am not lucky. I simply made a decision to listen to my heart, fulfill my passion, delete TOXIC PEOPLE from my life, help only the willing, and just live my life how I was meant to live it.....HAPPY.

The Hidden Financial Benefits of Staying Healthy and Fit

I'm sure that most of you would agree that investing in your health and fitness can generate some pretty lucrative rewards.

I mean, we all know that exercise is good for the population right =), but what most people don't know is that it can have some financial benefits too!

Here are some some financial benefits to staying healthy and fit:

-  YOUR EMPLOYEE PAYCHECK
Let's talk about health care here. According to a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, people who workout on a regular basis (at least 3 times per week) are more productive at work than those who don't. People who live the fitness lifestyle also miss fewer workdays, according to the same study. So it's a no brainer that the less work days that you miss, the more opportunity you have to earn income, as well as workplace advancement. Another study from from the Journal of Labor Research found that men who workout regularly can expect to make 6% more than their sedentary counterparts, on average. If you're a woman, the pay is even higher: Fit Chics can make 10% more on average!

 -  LIFESTYLE INCENTIVES FROM THE BOSS
If you're not already working out, that's ok, it doesn't have to cost that much to begin.

I know that some employers will pay some of their employees to workout as part of workout wellness initiatives. Check this out, IBM offers cash to their employees who meet certain fitness goals. And we all know Google right? Companies like Google and Zappos offer free fitness facilities to their employees so that they can save on the cost of gym memberships. If you are working under a company who doesn't currently offer wellness benefits, that may soon change with the Under the Affordable Care Act, which employers can receive grants to get one started.

Some employers have contracts with gyms to offer them discounted memberships, and some work with Personal Trainers or anyone in the fitness industry who can offer wellness activities. I have many friends who have asked me to create challenges for their office employees, and it's a win win! As a Beachbody Coach, I can benefit from helping a big group of people and get financially rewarded, while the company wins big by having happy and healthier employees who will perform better, which in turn will yield higher profits for their business.

If your workplace does not offer any fitness incentives, then you may want to check with your health insurance provider. Most health care insurers offer some type of fitness benefit for members. For example, United Healthcare offers reimbursements of $20 per month who use one of many participating gyms, while Blue Cross Blue Shield has worked out a deal fro $25 memberships at 8,000 gyms nationwide.

-  JUST GO FOR IT
On the other hand, skipping the gym might just be the biggest money saver! Why pay gym fees when you can workout at home or at the park? Some people enjoy the gym, I know I do, but I know that there are a bunch of people who prefer working out in the privacy of their own home. There are many places online that offer free workouts such as Grokker and BodyRock. But just remember, it's not all about the workout, it's more about the nutrition.

Beachbody on Demand is coming soon. The cool thing about this online total fitness program is that it will be available for anyone, anytime, and anywhere you have an internet connection. You can workout at home, the gym, the park and reap the rewards with saving on gym memberships, personal trainer fees, and gasoline =). On top of that, you will have a FREE Coach to help you along the way....ME! =) If you're close to some of your co-workers, you can even set up challenges with the people you work with, I can help you. Or maybe start a workplace running and walking club. Who knows, your boss may even reward you for it!

8 Foods That Can Get You Stacked

 8 Foods That Can Get You Stacked!

Guys and "some girls" are always looking for ways to gain muscle mass. I mean, what guy out there  hasn't ever thought of getting STACKED! There's really no secret to gaining muscle mass naturally. It's pretty simple, if you stay consistent, lift heavy, and add these 8 ingredients to your nutrition on a weekly basis, you will soon to be stacked.  

8 FOODS THAT CAN GET YOU STACKED:

1. ALMONDS - Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can help prevent free-radical damage after heavy workouts, and almonds are hands down one of the best sources of alpha-tocopheral vitamin E. The less damage from free-radicals, the faster your muscles will recover and that's when your muscles grow.

2. EGGS - The protein in eggs has the highest biological value of any food including beef, but you have to eat the yolk. Other than just protein, eggs also have vitamin B12 which aids in fat breakdown and muscle contraction. Eggs are packed with other vitamins and minerals such as riboflavin, folate, B6, B12, D, and E, phosphorous, iron, and zinc.

3.  SALMON - It's packed with high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3's are known to decrease muscle-protein breakdown after your workout which improves recovery. Why is this important? It's quite simple, because in order to build muscle, you need to store new protein faster than it takes for your body to break down the old stuff. Plus, consuming Salmon reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes, because who wants that anyways.

4.  YOGURT - Has one of the best combinations of protein and carbs for exercise recovery and muscle growth. It's recommended to buy the regular ones with fruit at the bottom, and not the sugar free ones. The extra carbs from the fruits will boost your blood levels of insulin, which is one of the ways to reducing post-exercise protein breakdown.

5.  BEEF - Beef is a major source of iron and zinc which are two crucial muscle-building nutrients. It's also the number one food source of creatine, which is your body's energy supply for pumping iron. For maximum muscle mass without all the unwanted calories, shoot for "rounds" or "loins".

6.  OLIVE OIL - Also known as "Liquid Energy", the monounsaturated fat in olive oil can act as an anticatabolicnutrient, which can prevent muscle breakdown by lowering levels of a sinister cellular protein called tumor necrosis factor-a...I know, BIG WORDS! The extra virgin variety is better because it has a higher level of vitamin E.

7.  COFFEE - Bottom line, fueling your workouts with caffeine will help you lift longer. On a recent study from Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, they found that men who drank 2 1/2 cups of coffee a few hours before an exercise test were able to sprint 9 percent longer than when they didn't drink any. And since sprinting and lifting are anaerobic exercises (requires no oxygen), a little jolt of some JOE can help you pump more reps. If you have a history of high-blood pressure, then skip this.

8.  WATER - Did you know that muscles are 80% water? Me either! Even a change of as little as 1% in body water can compromise your exercise performance and recovery. Just to make sure that you are not dehydrated throughout the day, try weighing yourself before and after your workouts, then drink 24 ounces of water for every pound lost. FYI, the more dehydrated you are, the slower your body uses protein to build muscle.

So there you have it. 8 Foods That Can Get You Stacked! If you are interested in joining my Body Beast Fitness Challenge and Accountability Group, message me! I'll be sure to help you with your muscle mass goals.
