Insanity Max 30 - TABATA STRENGTH (Outdoors)

Insanity Max 30 Tabata Strength - Tabata Workout - Tabata Training
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 - Digital Nomad - Star Diamond Beachbody Coach
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 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

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!


Stay active my friends!
