Personal Training

I know I know. I'm the worst. Last week I slacked and didn't post the Halloween Workout. I hope that you didn't let that stop you from being active. I've been busy and actually took a part-time job at a local gym.

Easton Fit4Life recently posted that they were interested in expanding their team.Turns out they are the perfect Fit4Me. hehehe


Fitness success is directly correlated to how hard and often you work out. Each person possesses different methods of motivation. If you are the type of person who finds internal motivation a challenge, personal training is for you! If you have trouble getting to the gym on a regular basis, don't feel like working out when you're tired, or struggle with eating the proper foods personal training is for you!

A personal trainer isn't just some gym rat. They are fitness professionals that give you the motivation you need to reach your goals. A personal trainer is an extremely important part of your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

If you are interested in loosing weight, toning up, or taking your workouts to another level let me help you. Together we can develop a plan to reach each and every one of your fitness goals. I will not only take you through your workouts, I will teach you what you need to know to maintain your new healthier life.

The first two people to express interest in training will receive 2 sessions FREE OF CHARGE! Don't pass on this amazing opportunity to change your life. You may contact me by leaving a comment below or email me at xoxobharris@gmail.com .

HawaiianTemptation

I planned on going for a run this morning but when my alarm went off I reset it and went right back to sleep. On my way to work I instantly regretted it. My hour and a half drive gives me a lot of time to re-evaluate my life. When I finally arrived at work I found out that I would be leading the 1.5 mile walk during lunch time. This made me feel a little better about not going for my run. After a 12 hour day I come home to Dominos pizza and wings on the stove. Not only is Dominos my favorite but it was HAWAIIAN! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!

I resisted temptation by sautéing some chicken breast and heated up some brussel sprouts. Living in a house full of temptations is a daily test but I refuse to succumb to them. I have set my alarm for 6:15 and won't make any excuses....even though I didn't eat the pizza ;)

What temptations were you faced with today and how did you overcome them?

24 Day Challenge

So the government is currently shutdown which means I got to have the day off.  Last night was something like the night before a blizzard in the sense that all night I kept checking the news for closings. I couldn't really sleep at all (due to the coffee I had at 10 AM) and decided to wake up at 6 and begin my Advocare training. As some of you may know I have become a distributor of Advocare. I am really looking forward to helping people loose weight and improve their lifestyles.

I'm looking for individuals who are ready to make a change in their life. The Advocare 24-Day Challenge is a great way to cleanse your body of toxins, prep your body for nutrient absorption and achieve your next weight-management goal. The challenge is broken up into two phases. Days 1-10 is a cleanse phase. For 10 days you cleanse your digestive system and remove the body of accumulated toxins that contribute to our weight gain. Days 11-24 are the max phase. During the max phase you  focus on weight management, appetite control and overall wellness.

The 24-Day Challenge will not only change you physically but will provide you with the energy you need to live a healthier more active life.

Each participant will receive:
1 box of Herbal Cleanse:
Probiotics which support your body’s overall health by improving your immune system and aids in digestion to enhance weight loss
Fiber Drink which moves toxins and waste allowing for proper nutrition absorption
Herbal Cleanse Tablets which rid the body of impurities 

1 bottle of Omega Plex
Omega 3 fatty acid supplement which is an important component of nutrition. Also reduces your risk of heart disease.

2 Boxes of Advocare Spark Energy Drink
Spark is a multi-nutrient energy drink that has 21 vitamins, minerals and nutrients that give you healthy balanced energy without making you jittery like coffee.

1 box of Meal Replacement Shakes
Choose from chocolate, vanilla, berry, chocolate mocha or vegetarian dark chocolate. Loaded with 24 grams of protein, 26 vitamins & minerals and is only 220 calories!

and

Your choice of one box of MNS Max 3, C, or E
