Workout Wednesday!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

Looking for motivation? Did you watch the Victoria Secrets fashion show last night? I noticed some people were hatin' on the girls in the show because they show too much or they are too thin. Anything they could think to critique they would. This is what I want to say to those people...
Why dont you take what they are doing and look at it like it is them giving you (as a woman) motivation, support, inspiration, and really are helping to push women to be HAPPY and COMFORTABLE in their OWN SKIN. How many of you ARE happy and confident in your skin? If your not, why aren't you? WHY dont you want to be comfortable in your own skin? 

Are you scared? 

Do you think that YOU could NEVER look like those models? 

Are you afraid to start something, because you will not finish it? 

^ Well guess what! I felt the SAME way YOU FEEL! But I jumed on board and have been WORKING my butt off! And I FEEL great! No, I do not look like these models.... yet. BUT thats not me, I am not a model, I want to be fit and happy and comfortable in my skin, so that I am CONFIDENT. And Guess what? Since I started my journey, I have become more confident, and happy, and I am getting more confortable in my skin. Have I failed? You bet I have. Did I quit? Hells yes, I have quit, many many times. BUT I DID NOT GIVE UP. I am still working at it and working HARD. Yes, my results are taking some time, but that because I am taking my time to really learn about health, and fitness. I am learning about the food, drinks, and vitamins I am putting into my body. I am changing my lifestyle, so I can HELP you FEEL CONFIDENT in YOUR skin. SO, do not feel bad or sad or depressed because of what you look like, do NOT compare yourself to those models on T.V. Instead look at them as a role model, if they can do it everyday, you can too. Set you mind to it and DO it. 

SO, with that being said, Start here.... Use these easy workouts as a guide to get you started. AND Always remember, I AM HERE FOR YOU. You do not have to be a client for me to help you, and guide you. Email me (lapinski.steph@gmail.com) WHENEVER you want. I am here for you, because YOU are BEAUTIFUL.

REMEMBER Food is 80% of your results, working out is only 20%. Make sure you are eating right, and not over doing it. Get the Fit Pal app on your phone to track your daily intake!

 Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body? *

For as long as I can remember I’ve always had weight issues. Back in grade six is when I became really self-conscious about it. For years I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin, I would always wear oversized sweaters all year around, no matter how hot it was outside. In jr high I remember always feeling like the outcast because I was always bigger than the other girls. I went through a stressful time in school and my way of dealing with it was to go home and eat. I decided to home school during high school, I was depressed and lost in every way possible. Food became my best friend. By the end of high school I was barely 5ft tall, weighed 210lbs and in a size 20 jeans. I was severely depressed and never felt so awful and embarrassed. I would find any excuse possible to avoid leaving my house and going out in public. I had absolutely no motivation to do anything and some days I couldn’t even manage to get out of bed.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey? *I first heard about P90X when I was at my lowest point in life. I was in such a dark place, depressed and questioning life and then I heard about this 90 day workout program. I felt this spark that I had never felt before. After doing some research, I knew right away that this was going to save my life. I was ready to take on this huge change and challenge in my life. It was basically do or die for me because if I hadn’t decided to change my life I wouldn’t of made it into my 20’s.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge? *My biggest challenge before I started P90X was my lack of motivation to do anything. Some days I felt so awful that I couldn't even get out of bed. I was severely depressed and never felt so awful and embarrassed. I even felt like I was an embarrassment to my own family. I would find any excuse possible to avoid leaving my house and going out in public, so being home schooled was the best excuse. As I started noticing results from the workouts, I was able to slowly make better food choices and drink more water because I was determined to get the best results possible. I was highly motivated once I started to notice a different in the way I felt, seeing changes in my body and how my clothes fit differently.. eventually my 'fat' clothes didn't fit anymore!

Why did you choose this particular program? *I chose P90X because I wanted to really challenge myself. I wanted to feel alive again for the first time in years. I was inspired by all the people who stuck with it and because of their determination and motivation, they got the results that they wanted! I knew it would be the most challenging thing that I had done in my life but I knew I could do it. At first I could barely manage to get through an entire workout video. I would have to pause it, sit down to catch my breath, and ask myself if I really wanted this. The answer was always YES, so I got up, pressed play again and did the best that I could being over 210lbs. Eventually it started getting easier each day and before I knew it I was able to finish an entire workout!

What in particular did you like about the program you chose? *I loved that P90X was a challenge and completely out of my comfort zone. Everything was new to me, especially using weights. Being able to follow along with Tony and the other cast members, seeing their determination and great form was very motivating and inspiring. When I first started P90X I could barely make it through the warm up!! I would have to pause it to be able to catch my breath but I knew if I just 'pressed play' everyday that it would get easier. Being shown how to modify the moves that I had trouble with at first helped me get through the first couple of weeks until I got stronger.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of? *My life has changed drastically since I started P90X. I started at over 210lbs and barely 5ft tall. I would look in the mirror everyday in disgust, I hated every single part of my body. I have lost 77lbs so far. Not only did I lose weight, but at the same time I gained muscle definition, motivation, confidence, mental clarity and self love. For the first time in my entire life I can finally say that I am truly happy. I took charge of my life and was able to overcome every obstacle that I was dealing with like severe depression and anxiety. For the first time in my life I know that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I cant even begin to thank Tony Horton and Beachbody enough for saving my life.

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program? *I still cant believe how much my life has changed! My eating habits have changed drastically. I now eat clean, lots of fruits and vegetables, no dairy, very little lean meats, and I drink at least 8 cups of water a day and I replaced one meal per day with Shakeology. Im so proud of myself for changing my life around at such a young age. I love the small things like being able to walk and not have to stop to catch my breath, not having to worry about my thighs rubbing together so severely that they would almost bleed. Im in the best shape of my life, the happiest I've ever been and in the process of changing my life around I found a passion for health and fitness.

Motivation Monday!

Workout Wednesday!

Well, here in Minnesota it is snowing VERY, VERY hard. 

So I thought it would be fun to get a workout in outside, and list different calories that are burned doing the daily winter activities!

Get Dressed, and get out!

The other thing you’ll want to remember when outside this winter is to dress appropriately. Minnesotans know how the temperature can fluctuate but it is extremely important to pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly.  There are a few basic guidelines to follow for winter exercise.

• Dress in layers. You’ll want to start with a thin layer made out of a material that will draw sweat away from your body.  Then make sure to wear a thicker, heavier layer over that, and something that is water proof, like a winter jacket, and snowpants.
• You need to be sure to have a good pair of gloves as well as a hat or headband. This will keep you safe from the cold. 
• Be smart. If the temperature is below zero stay inside. Missing one workout won’t ruin your entire training plan. Choosing to run outside when there’s a -32 windchill doesn’t make you tough, it makes you irresponsible (and cold). Pay attention to the falling temperatures and know when to stay inside.
• You also want to make sure you HAVE FUN! Just playing in the snow can be a big workout, so make sure you are enjoying burning those extra calories! 

What’s your favorite way to stay active during winter months?

Transformation Tuesday!

Check out this AWESOME Transformation!

 Here is Cara B.'s Story!

Before I lost 30 lbs. with T25 I felt like a typical run-down mom. I had gaining over 80 lbs. while pregnant and was depressed. "Who was this person in the mirror?", I'd ask myself. "Where did all my energy go?" All I did was lie on the couch, watch TV, and eat myself into the next day. Then I'd do it all over again. Whenever I did find a little bit of my old-self and get dressed up to have some adult time, I'd try on everything in my closet only to realize just how much I had let myself go. But it wasn't just my body and my attitude that changed. The more depressed I got the more seizures I started having. This is when I realized it was time to change before I ended up really hurting myself, or others around me. So I turned to my father, who's a Beachbody Coach, and asked for help. 

I chose FOCUS T25 because of my lack of time. With a toddler running around, only putting in 25 minutes a day for an hour's worth of results sounded great to me! I used to run on the elliptical for half an hour but I never saw any results. With T25, change happened fast. In 60 days I went from 164 lbs. to 134, and from a size 15 to a 7. My waist shrunk from a 36 to a 28, I lost 4 inches in my hips, 8 in my chest, 2 in my arms and 3 inches in my thighs.

I now also drink Shakeology every day for breakfast. Before I discovered this miracle meal I used to skip out on breakfast and lunch because I just flat out didn't have the energy to make myself anything to eat. Now I make a shake every morning and throw anything and everything I can find into the blender. It's just soooooo easy! I've also noticed that I have way more energy throughout my day and can easily accomplish things like getting groceries, working out, and taking my daughter to the park. I literally feel like I have energy coming out of my ears. I've also gained way more patience with my daughter and don't get as aggravated with her as I did before. We laugh and play so much more now and that is one of the greatest gifts I could've ever asked for.

But I couldn't have made such a huge change in my life if it wasn't for my amazing Challenge Group—Team "I Can Do Anything". This incredible group of people knew exactly how I felt and what I was going through and were the greatest support team I could have ever asked for. (I am also part of an all women’s group that branched from the “I Can Do Anything” group called “The Rockstars”.) In the beginning, my greatest challenge was thinking that I couldn't lose weight or change my ways. But with my team's support, I exceeded my goals and couldn't be more proud of myself. Finally, I'm confident in myself again and know I can do anything I put my mind to!

Today I can do everyday things without getting light headed or out of breath. I can bring a basket of laundry up the stairs, take my daughter on 2-mile park walks, play with her on the Jungle Jim, and chase her around. I'm no longer tired and just wearing a spot into the couch. And I'm no longer awake at 2 am eating a family size bag of chips or a whole bag of "fun size" Twix. My seizures are finally under control and I've never felt better in my life.

Now a days people say, "I wish I looked like you!" and "How did you do it?" And I just love that! I've missed those compliments. And now that I feel complete, emotionally and physically, I'm helping others the same way I was helped. Thanks you Beachbody, you saved me. You truly did!!!

You can change your life, too. Take The BeachbodyChallenge™, for the ultimate motivation to get fit! Select any Beachbody® program and once you complete it, share your results for your chance to win cash and prizes.
