Beachbody isn't just about P90X and Tony Horton..we have more! I wanted to talk about two wonderful workout programs from Beachbody coming out soon. The end of May, Body Gospel will be making it's debut and Beachbody is pulling out all the stops. A worldclass workout filmed in front of a full choir and Donna Richardson Joyner leading real people to work out . This will also have the standard nutrition guide as well as a daily devotional to help you stay motivated and on track with your nutrition.
The second is TURBO FIRE! This is the next in line following Turbo Jam and it is fantastic! I had the privilege of working out to this at Summit with Chalene Johnson and it was amazing! This workout is High Intensity Interval Training and is designed to burn more fat than strict cardio based programs. I posted a preview at the bottom of this page so you will have to check it out. This will be something you have to try to believe!
Hope you all have a great day! :)

Who takes care of you?
Too many of us become overwhelmed, stop taking care of ourselves and expect others to step in and do it for us. This is what led me to begin my downward spiral before Dan found Beachbody. I didn’t think I was of any value to others, I felt that I wasn’t able to take care of myself or my children and I found it easier for others to do it for me. I became dependent on others to motivate me, I found myself feeling unworthy. Sounds pretty depressing doesn't it..exactly. Depression was a constant in my life just 14 months ago. So how did I take the steps to change that? I got moving!
It doesn’t matter what you choose to do as long as you are doing something. Go for a quick walk, jog in place in your living room, do jumping jacks, or like me sit in your chair and move your arms! Get your blood pumping!
I chose to do P90X because my husband was doing it and it looked like fun. We modified the program to fit my ability. Just becoming active changed my perspective because it gave me a feeling of accomplishment. If you are feeling lost in the shuffle of life, exercise can help with that! There are several articles that discuss the benefits of exercise when dealing with depression. I didn’t want to hear about that when I was drowning in my own issues but now I see that it truly helped. It was the catalyst to turning my life around. By getting my body moving again with P90X then adding the superior nutrients in Shakeology, I found myself again. I became the person I wanted to be, not the one that MS was forcing me to become. That was a year ago, and our family life is completely different. I am finally feel like I am worthy of being taken care of by the most important person in my life...me! I still have Multiple Sclerosis, but it doesn’t have me.

WOW!!!
What a weekend!!!!
I am brimming over with excitement today. This past weekend was Beachbody’s annual Summit. If you are on facebook you will have seen that I was the female GRAND PRIZE WINNER! I wanted to write something profound today, so here I sit in front of my computer racking my brain for something meaningful to say that will convey exactly how I am feeling. I’m thinking…I’m thinking….still thinking….okay here goes…
THANK YOU
That is the most profound thought in my head right now. As I was immersed into the Summit experience with over 1100 people who have been touched in someway by Beachbody, whether that be as a customer who changed their fitness level or by the struggling single mom who is using her Beachbody business to pay her bills, I was in awe of the positive, loving spirits that surrounded me. From the very first day Dan and I arrived at our hotel I was immediately touched. As soon as we pushed through the doors, we were approached by two beautiful women who had flown from the Netherlands to tell me how I had inspired them. My heart began to swell..as well as tears..to see how much love was in their eyes. I had never personally spoken to them before that moment, but in that first meeting, I felt full of awe and my heart began to swell.
It continued from there. I heard wonderful, amazing stories from so many that said learning about my struggles and how I pushed through them had changed or inspired them to do the same in their own lives. We would hug, and I would even cry a few happy tears, and my heart would swell a little more. Then I would talk to someone who either had MS or knew of someone with MS. We would talk of ways to encourage and support each other and their loved ones. I saw people who were involved in MS Society events like walks, bike rides, and volunteering their support and my heart would again swell.
I felt that love with every conversation, every smile, and every hug until I thought my heart would burst. I loved the stories of people helping people through their trials. We were bombarded with positive energy from all angles. Each and every person there was a survivor in some amazing fashion and I felt so honored and humbled to be on that stage in the end. That is the reason for my “profound” statement in the beginning…I again say from the bottom of my heart..
THANK YOU
Because while you were telling me of how I inspired you and how amazing you found my story, I was thinking the same about each and every one of you. Lives were changed this weekend in the most beautiful way possible. You can be a part of that. You have a story..you can change peoples lives, you can make a difference. My only hope is that every person that reads this can feel my love because I am sending it straight to you.
