Get a jump start on your New Years Resolution - Start your fitnessjourney now

I am beyond excited to be starting a new Beachbody Home Fitness Program, P90 by none other than the amazing Tony Horton! 

Have you ever done P90X??? It is hard!!! 

Have you ever tried P90X and failed?!?! YOU ARE NOT ALONE! 

Do you want to do P90X but you don’t feel like you are at that fitness level just yet? 

Do you want a stepping stone to build a base level of fitness so that you can tackle something like P90X? 

 (This is my friend Linda. In just 30 days of following the P90 program and clean eating guide she got these results and formed some awesome habits to move forward with).

Well, Tony saw the need for a program that was the foundational skills to advancing to a more extreme workout and he created P90! He created it for people just like you and me! We want to be in the best shape of our lives, but we need to start at the beginning and build core strength, stability and have correct form so that we don’t get injured and end up back at the start again! It’s about creating a safe and effective starting point for people to introduce fitness into their lives. It’s also a great way for people to conquer their fears of strength training and working out. 

Who is this program perfect for? 

⭕️ You don’t want a hardcore workout but you want to lose weight. 
⭕️ You want to get back some of the muscle tone you have lost over the years.
⭕️ You want to just get out of bed in the morning without a backache. 
⭕️ You have had a c-section and want to rebuild your core. 
⭕️ You want to get your body back after having your kids.

If you are just someone who wants to be in good health, get regular exercise and feel strong then this could be the workout for you. 

What is this program all about? 

⭕️ It’s not high intensity, its not pounding your joints. 
⭕️ It’s literally simple cardio, simple workouts, 25 minutes a day for 90 days to totally and completely transform your body and your life. 
⭕️ It’s more than just a workout, it comes with a simple nutrition guide that is going to help you clean up your daily food intake and focus on the right foods to fuel your body for health! 
⭕️ The moves are modified right from day 1 so that everyone can do the workouts. 

Who should do P90? 

I believe that if you want to change your body, you want to start creating a healthy exercise routine then this is going to be the best way to do it. Tony Horton is an amazing trainer with an entire team behind his workout philosophy that is tried, tested and true. I know he presents amazing fitness programs because I have done P90X, P90X2 and P90X3 and there is nothing short of amazing results from them all! I know for a fact that this is truly going to be a spectacular workout. I mean, you have SERIOUSLY no excuse not to workout. There is something out there for everyone! Sometimes we just need a little motivation in order to make it happen! 

What’s the game plan? 

I want to make sure that this doesn’t become another fitness program that you invest in that sits on your shelf and collects dust. I want to make sure that when you get the program in the mail, you open it, you make a plan and you SUCCEED! My job as a coach is to be your support system, to start together on November 17th and to track our progress, stay accountable, stay motivated and encourage one another to get into the best shape of our lives. So I am hosting an EXCLUSIVE P90 CHALLENGE GROUP where you can get support from me, you can be surrounded by other like minded people, you can enter to win $500 for your transformation and you can get results. 

What is a challenge group? 

It is a closed Facebook group where no one but the members of the group can see what is being posted. I will walk you through how to set realistic goals for yourself, how to meal plan, prep, how to set yourself up for success, then each day you log into the group for a post of the day, motivation, recipes and tips. We will track progress through our online group and you will succeed! Trust me, if you commit I will meet you half way! I won’t let you give up! Are you ready to put all fears aside and go for it? What’s the worst that can happen? You could lose a few pounds, kick the soda habit and have a ton more energy! 

The requirements are that you purchase the P90 Challenge pack through me as your coach. I will be giving you all of the details to get the package once you let me know that you are ready. 

Are you in?

I’m only accepting a limited number of people into this exclusive group. So please let me know ASAP of your interest. All you have to do is decide that now is the time for you to make a change!!! Let’s do this together!!!  Message me today to claim your space! tbennallack@gmail.com

While Expecting Keep Moving

(This is an old post. I found it in my Archive. I thought I would share it anyways;-))
There are many benefits to exercising while pregnant. It improves your muscle tone, strength and endurance. If you were fit before you became pregnant, you may find it easier to adjust to pregnancy.
Regular exercise will:
  • help you to carry the weight gained in pregnancy
  • prepare you for labour and birth
  • make getting back into shape baby easier
There are a lot of factors that determine whether it is safe for you to exercise during your pregnancy. It’s always best to consult with your doctor before starting a new routine.
These are some suggestions for exercises that are generally considered safe while pregnant (some not suitable during the last few months of pregnancy):
  • Walking: doesn’t  jar your knees and ankles, and gives your heart a workout if you walk briskly.
  • Running: very effective way to work your heart and body. This is an exercise that should not be taken up during pregnancy, but can be continued if you where a runner before pregnancy.
  • Swimming: this is one of the safest forms of exercise for you. It exercises both your large muscle groups (your arms and legs) and works your heart and lungs. Feeling weightless in the water is fabulous as you progress in your pregnancy.
  • Yoga: maintains muscle tone and flexibility. Its kind to your joints.
  • Weight Training – if you did this before, you can likely continue But you will need to lay off the heavier weights.
  • If all else fails and you are stuck on partial bed rest like me. They do you best to do some simple stretches and exercises. I have found these ones to be helpful;-)
(This is me at 40 weeks!!! I kinda miss it;-()
