Here We Go!

Well I finally did it.  I took my passion for fitness and health and decided to do something with it.  I have always been into fitness weather it be sports in High School, gym, running, yoga or home workouts I have always found a way to stay active.  Before moving overseas with my husband and son if I wasn't at the mall you could find me at the gym.  My go to class at 24hr fitness became Turbo Kick Boxing (TKB).  It originated in Orange Country and the following was huge...there was no way around it.  The energy was amazing and the people were just as wonderful.  Then came orders to Okinawa via the US Marine Corps.  I took for granted the gyms back stateside and all that was offered. Sure the base here has a gym that's well equipped with weights and a decent cardio room.  However, child care is non existent and the classes didn't live up to those taught in the states.  I started missing 24hr fitness very quickly.  About a year after living on island the little company, BeachBody (maybe you have heard of it) starting picking up it's pace here in Okinawa.  I quickly learned about Turbo Fire. I snagged up the videos and fell in love! It was like I was back home at 24hr fitness again.  It was high pace, most of the same people in the videos I actually worked out with, and the same concept as TKB.  I kind of fell in love with home workouts at that point.  Don't get me wrong I would hit up the gym every chance I got because lifting is still one of my favorites.  But if I couldn't make it to the gym I wasn't so upset over it.  While my husband was on his 3rd deployment I tapped into other programs that  BeachBody had to offer such as Insanity, ChaLEAN Extreme, and Focus T25.  I loved them all but I would always find myself going back to Turbo. As Chalene Johnson would say, it's my soulmate workout.  Along with all of those programs I also ended up falling in love with yoga.  My mom always would try and get me to try it but what can I say...I am a cardio girl.  I need to be moving! But I finally tried it and from going to not being able to touch my toes to now being able to fully fold forward it feels amazing! Plus the strength gained is crazy.  And much to my surprise yoga has helped me in my cardio and has made doing Turbo so much easier.
As I said in the beginning I finally took my passion for all that is fitness and did it, signed up to be a BeachBody Coach.  I found a leader that inspired me and shared my same drive with fitness, Krystal Bland.  And I am proud and honor to be not only apart of her Crushin' It Crew but to be apart of her apprentice crew.  I am excited to see where this new journey will take me and I hope that by having this blog it will not only help me stay accountable for my own health and fitness but can inspire someone else to get up and move.
