Being a Beachbody Coach has its perks! It means that I have quite the library of workout videos and fitness programs, ranging from Piyo & Bodybeast to Turbofire & The 21 Day Fix! What's great about having such a plethora of choices, is the boredom can never really set in! If I am not feeling like it's a bicep curl kind of day I simply pop in a PIYO video and get my sweat session done on the mat (THANKS CHALENE:)!
I keep all of my videos out in plain sight so I can simply scan and choose! If I am not following an actual set program then I just keep rotating based on how I am feeling that day! For example the other day when I was trying to decide if it was an INSANITY MAX type of day or if I wanted to hit the treadmill for some HIIT, I went for INSANITY MAX! Popped in some Tabata Power & BOOM.. NO EXCUSES!
This daily rotation is exactly what led me to this video ...The BEACH BABE EDITION from the TONE IT UP GIRLS!
I purchased this video when it first came out, roughly two years ago. I have been a HUGE FAN of the TONE IT UP GIRLS for years! As a matter of fact it's one of the very first fitness programs I ever purchased several years ago. I had come across there blog gosh I think back in 2008/2009 and instantly gravitated towards their beachy hair, toned bodies & quirky personalities;) It wasn't too long after that, that I hit SEND on the PAYMENT BUTTON and received the TONE IT UP PROGRAM!
I will be the first to admit, back then I was only half in when it came to getting healthy. If you've been following me for a while, you know it wasn't until about 3 years ago that I got serious about becoming the healthiest, happiest version of myself (insert STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS). So I flipped through the program, gave it my half assed attempt and then went on my merry way! FAIL!!
Since then I have obviously made some shifts in my priorities and have since made this healthy lifestyle stuff part of my everyday routine! But that doesn't mean that I don't need an extra PUSH from time to time, I am definitely a "I NEED SOMETHING TO FOLLOW TYPE OF GIRL":)
So, the other day as I was squeezing my glutes in the BIKINI BOOTY workout, the wheels in my head started spinning!
WHY HAVEN'T I GIVEN THIS PROGRAM A FAIR SHOT?
- I have been on the hunt for a program that offers variety in both exercise & nutrition.. CHECK!
- I want to be apart of a community filled with like minded women who want to motivate & inspire one another.... CHECK!
- I want a LIFESTYLE, not a temporary way of eating. NO ELIMINATING, COUNTING or CYCLING....CHECK!
- I want daily motivation, healthy recipes & an easy to follow routine that is maintainable...CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!
This isn't a 6, 12 or 18 week program, NO JUICING OR DETOXING HERE! This is all about creating HEALTHY HABITS, implementing an EVERYTHING in MODERATION MINDSET & finding a BALANCED approach to HEALTH & FITNESS. And the best part this all goes hand & hand with my current routine. I can continue to rotate my favorite BEACHBODY programs and add in the TONE IT UP workouts whenever I want! A few simple tweaks to my weekly meal prep and a little more structure to my morning routine (which I desperately need) and I will be on my way to becoming a TONE IT UP GIRL!
I've spent much of my weekend scanning the updated program and plan to start with the 5 DAY SLIM DOWN this Monday! This is a great way to dive into the program offering a little more structure the first few days and then I'll be ready to move right into the TONE IT UP lifestyle. I will be using this blog to journal my progress and continue to share my experiences with you as I go about my HEALTHY, HAPPY & A LITTLE HECTIC life!
But for now I'll start by sharing the TOP 5 reasons I LOVE TONE IT UP!
