Spring Breaking Into Fitness!

Our kids have been gone since last weekend; they are on Spring break with our exes. I can't remember the last time Chris and I got to spend some quiet quality time together! We've even got to go on a few walks. It's so nice to be able to get some exercise together and enjoy the outdoors again now that it's getting nicer out!

I hope all of you are enjoying the nicer weather! Comment and let me know what your favorite outdoor activities are! Do you have a nice scenic neighborhood that makes taking walks a treat? How about outdoor sports? Is anyone out there starting to get warmed up for Summer activities?

If you're not an outdoor person (or are looking to get in shape for the outdoor sports) watch the videos below to check out the programs on special this month. If you've already done P90X or P90X2, then take it to the next level with P90X3. Or, maybe you'd really like to concentrate on some flexibility and do some Piyo. Whichever you choose, it will be a great start to improving your fitness or getting back into shape!

Grace and peace to you, my friends. I apologize that I don't have more time to blog, but as always, comment or message me if you have any questions or want to share something! Be infused! God bless you!

Why I'm Finally Losing More Weight

Drenched by rain and sweat
due to a refreshing Greenway run!

I mentioned a while back that I would be mixing up my workouts for a while. So far, so good! It's nice to have a break from a set schedule and just do whatever workout fits my mood for the day! One of the things I have been doing is walking and running outside; I even visited the Greenway (I used to blog about my special runs there, so I managed to post another entry!). Of course, I've also been doing a mix of my favorite Beachbody workouts too! My plan has been to get a MINIMUM of 45 minutes a day Monday - Friday, rest on Saturday, and do a stretch workout on Sunday (and drinking Shakeology every day too!). Thus far, it seems to be panning out quite nicely; and the scale has been moving down again!! I'm super happy about that! I'm looking and feeling better all the time!

It almost seems like VARIETY is sort of a weight-loss secret! We all know that once your body gets used to the SAME workouts, you plateau. You then have to up your intensity, change your workouts, or both. Because I'm varying things up pretty much EVERY DAY, I'm keeping my body guessing and the number on the scale falling!

I've also noticed that my heart rate monitor says that my percentage of fat burned is higher when my intensity is lower. I'm no expert as to why that is, but I've noticed over the years that working so hard that your heart is pounding doesn't always mean that you're burning the most fat. So, maybe the moderate range of exertion on some of these workout days (in addition to the high-intensity days) is what is making a difference for me! Music to my ears because I don't always want to work to the point of exhaustion lol.

Grace and peace to you, my friends! I hope everyone is enjoying the nicer weather and getting a chance to walk and run outside as well! Keep mixing it up! Stay in the air conditioning on the hotter days and do a favorite Beachbody workout; like Turbo Fire or P90X3 (the sale prices expire at the end of the month!). Or, maybe you're eagerly waiting to add Piyo to your workout routine (I know I am!). Don't forget to sign up to be the first to know so you can purchase it quickly before it sells out! Keep your routines fresh and your results will keep coming! Be infused! God bless you!

I'm Finished! What's Next?!

Guess what?! I'm DONE with my Les Mills Combat workout schedule! It was definitely tough, but worth it (and that was just the BASIC one! I'll do the REALLY tough one at a later date). I'll take some stats tomorrow (as well as some "after" pictures so I can get a FREE t-shirt for completing the program). I don't expect there will be much change (I have a long way to go and I wasn't on any special eating plan other than Shakeology) but I definitely feel better and stronger regardless!

So, what's next for me? I'm not going to do a set program for a while. Let's just say I have a LOT in the works right now (concerning my personal life). However, that doesn't mean I'm going to stop working out! Gosh, no! I'm just going to enjoy doing whatever I feel like doing without being tied down to one program. I'll probably walk/run outside, do a little Hip Hop Abs, Rockin' Body, Turbo Jam, Focus T25, Turbo Fire, or whatever I feel like! I'm also kind of eagerly waiting on PIYO to come out (click here to be the first to know when it does so you can get it before it sells out! By the way, 21 Day Fix is FINALLY off of back order!).

Speaking of Turbo Fire, it's on sale this month!! It's definitely one of my personal favorites! Chalene Johnson is one of my preferred trainers! She is very spunky, positive, and motivating! Not only that, but she is an EXCELLENT choreographer! The music and the workout moves that she uses is not only a great calorie burning fest, it's lots of fun!

By the way, Turbo Fire isn't the only challenge pack on sale! P90X3 is on sale too! This program is perfect for those that love intense and effective programs but don't want to spend a ton of time working out. It's only 30 minutes a day!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Watch the two videos below to get an idea of what the programs are like! Let me know if you have any questions! Be sure to order soon! These deals are only available until the end of this month (and summer is right around the corner, so it's time to get fit!). Be infused! God bless you!

Getting Geared Up!

When it comes to working out, it's essential to have the basics in order to get moving. Workout clothes, supportive shoes, and a water bottle are absolute "must haves". Sometimes, you might even get some other extras like a music player to listen to while you run, a heart rate monitor to track time/calories burned/etc., or equipment of some kind. Whatever it is that you need, it all helps you attain your fitness goals!

This is why Team Beachbody has added several new choices to their men's/women's apparel line (including Shakeology, Focus T25, and P90X3 shirts!) as well as HUGE savings on their stability ball, stability ball/medicine ball combo, and the Tai Cheng Rumble Roller. Click on any of those links to view the product or visit www.infusion413.com and click on "shop" to browse the store for whatever you may need (including Shakeology shaker cups)!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Remember, you can always get a FREE T-SHIRT every time you complete a Team Beachbody program (and be entered to win cash and prizes too!). Simply sign-in to your account (sign up for FREE if you don't already have one) and click on the "Beachbody Challenge" tab at the
top to submit your "before" & "after" photos and they will mail you the corresponding t-shirt of the program you've completed! Yep, it's that easy! I got one for completing Focus T25! Once I complete Les Mills Combat, I'll get a shirt for that one too! All I have to do is "Stay with the fight" (as they say in the workouts). I'm really sore after these first few days of the program, but I'm going to keep pushing through! I got my Shakeology and my Results and Recovery Formula (and the amazing power of prayer) to get me through! I'll make it by the grace of God! ;) Be infused! God bless you!

Deal, or Snow Deal?

We're a week into the new year now. Aside from the snow, how are things going? If you're snowed in, that certainly makes it easier to work out more; whether you're shoveling snow or passing the time by doing some Team Beachbody workouts!

Last week, I mentioned that they have extended their special deal on P90X3 challenge packs. Through this month, you can STILL get the program PLUS Shakeology at a special discounted price! Additionally, they have also decided to offer the same deal on Focus T25 as well!! You might remember that this is the hugely successful 25 minute a day program of Shaun T's (the one that I have tried for myself, enjoyed immensely, and saw WONDERFUL RESULTS with!). I can't recommend this program ENOUGH! It's TERRIFIC! Combined with Shakeology, it's a POWERHOUSE! If you want results, you'll get it! Whether you go for P90X3 or the Focus T25 challenge pack, you're sure to succeed! Don't forget to take "before" and "after" photos so you can get your FREE t-shirt! I love my Focus T25 shirt!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! I hope you take advantage of this deal! You won't be sorry (unless you don't take the deal). Snow or no snow, your order will get to your door! Be infused! God bless you!!

This is Your Year!

It's the first day of the new year. Is everyone ready to get started on their resolutions? ;) Well, if your resolution has anything to do with fitness, nutrition, or weight-loss, I'm right there with you (and here to help!).

Team Beachbody is here to help too! In fact, they've decided to extend last month's promotion through January! So, if you haven't ordered your P90X3 challenge pack yet (which is the program PLUS Shakeology at a special price!) you STILL can!! Just 30 minutes a day, and GREAT results!

If this program isn't for you, there are lots of others you can choose from! Just contact me and I can help you find something you will love and that will fit into your life! :) Regardless of what you choose to do (even if it's not something Team Beachbody) do SOMETHING! Even if it's just five minutes a day, start somewhere! Set small goals and work your way up (especially if you haven't worked out for a long time). Don't go "all or nothing" and try to fix your whole fitness/nutrition lifestyle all at once! Make small focused changes and work your way up! You can do it! I'm here to help you along the way! I'll help you break it down and take things step by step!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Let me know how I can help you with your goals this year! I'm more ready and willing than ever to do whatever I can to help, motivate, encourage, and empower you! This is your year! Be infused! God bless you! :)
