What's Next?

Insanity was an amazing fat burning exercise program, which helped me get rid of stomach fat. It got me out of a plateau that I was stuck in for a few months and I was finally getting rid of the love handles.

After completing my 60 days of intense cardio workouts, I knew I had to continue working out in order to keep all the progress I had made so far.

Like the old saying goes, you either use what you have or you lose it. Well I not only wanted to keep what I had worked hard to get but also keep improving my health and how I look.

Once you know what you can achieve, it’s hard to just let go of it and go back to the way things were. “True Weight Loss” after all isn’t just something you do for a while and then return to your old life.

The reason many of us gain weight is because we weren’t living a healthy life, weight loss is all about a life change. Otherwise all you’ll be doing is yo-yo dieting the rest of your life if you don’t change your eating and life style habits along with losing all that weight…

I was happy with the changes that I had made up until now…

I had more energy.
All my pants and shirts were too big for me.
I looked younger.
I slept better.
My blood pressure decreased greatly.
And I was able to keep up with my dog and my kids at school.

Since I had done mainly cardio exercises I decided to try gaining some lean muscle by doing P90X (started in March 2010 and completed June 2010). Another fantastic workout dvd program from Beachbody. I’ll write more about P90X another time but for now I want to talk about what I’m doing with my life to help others.

Mahatma Gandhi once said:

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

The change I want to see in the world is people living healthier lives and one in which they can appreciate life. I know I didn’t live the healthiest life or appreciated those around me in the past. I just felt like there was no time to juggle everything around.

The sad fact though is that in America there are several million people living just like I did. Many people:

are not watching what they eat
are not taking the time to exercise
are not taking time to enjoy life and their family
or slowly marching through a meaningless life by following the same hated routine…

Something I was always told was:

If you do the same thing everyday then you’ll get the exact same thing everyday.

I was tired of seeing myself big but I just never thought I would have time to do anything about it. I went through the same routine day in and day out, seeing nothing change…just more frustration.

One day though, I finally took one step towards change and it snowballed into something bigger.

Now, I want to help people achieve their health goals as well. While my first step was not with a program from Beachbody, I’ve come to believe in their products and what they have to offer.

This is why I now encourage everyone to start their weight loss journey with Beachbody, for several reasons:

They have an awesome support system where you don’t even need to buy anything to take advantage of. This is through the Team Beachbody Community, which provides support for completely free. OR you can join the Club Membership and get a 10% discount on products, live V.I.P chats with trainers, and personalized menu planning.

Of course Beachbody has a large assortment of proven workout exercises (Compare Workouts), with many of them coming with a nutrition plan for free. They have workout routines for beginners, children, seniors, advanced, weight loss, and many more.

Then there’s the nutrition side of Beachbody which also helps you achieve your results. They offer meal replacements, weight loss, and general health. I’ll be honest, I haven’t tried any of them yet but I did complete my order for Shakeology yesterday and hope to share my experience with that soon.

Finally you can become a Beachbody Coach and start helping others to reach their health goals and at the same time make money. If nothing else you can be a Beachbody Coach and get 25% off everything that they offer (workouts and nutrition). Once you discover the quickest way to lose weight is with Beachbody, it’s going to be easy to recommend Beachbody to everyone you meet.

There you have it. My ultimate plan to help people with their health is by encouraging them to start somewhere and then help motivate them. Rather they try the proven weight loss Beachbody workouts or not.

Until next time, figure out WHY you want to lose weight. Once you figure that out, the HOW will follow.
