Switch IT UP!!! P90X/TURBOFIRE HYBRID MISSION

So, I have gotten far with TurboFire and clearly its my first love... almost an addiction! But, I want to step it up a bit. With programs like P90X, TurboFire or Insanity, you will definitely get to the next level in fitness. Whatever your goal is, you will quickly reach it if you stay committed to the goal and first decide to succeed not matter what. But, because of their intensity, often people give up. Please, don't ever give up. You would be doing yourself an injustice! 

Tony Horton first created Power 90 and honestly it's not that bad compared to P90X. But like any great leader, Tony has up'd his game once more and decide to create P90X:MC2, the next level in the P90 Series. I don't know whether to call the man crazy or a genius... usually the two are the same anyway. Now, I'm not going to lie, P90X kicked my butt and I never was able to get past week 3. So, I switched over to TurboFire.





It was just what I needed and Chalene is just as nuts as Tony is! TurboJam, Chalene's first Beachbody program, is easy compared to TurboFire. And Chalean Extreme is like a P90X for her series. I have gotten amazing results with TurboFire, greatly increasing my stamina, maintaining an active metabolism and getting a crazy after-burn hours after completing a daily workout. Needless to say, I'm a feen for Turbo!





But, I needed something a little harder. I'm not crazy yet, but when I get there I will try Insanity. Shaun T can have all that for now. Anyway, I went onto the teambeachbody.com website and found the workout sheets to the Beachbody programs under the Get Fit tab. And it was as though God said, "Let there be MUSCLES... ON SHEENA!!!" There it was, the P90X/TurboFire Hybrid Log Sheet,  glistening on the screen... calling my name. "Sheena.... oh Sheena... Come on Sheena you know you want to." I screamed "No, you are trying to kill me." And the sheet said (bare with me, I feel like being dramatic today), "No we aren't... we are trying to help you! Sheena... muscles... fit... sexy... ::roar::" And there it was, me printing out the sheets and preparing myself for this day.

But, I'm prepared. I have my P90X Results and Recovery Formula and Shakeology. What could go wrong?! Let me not even start that cause I have a tendency to speak and things happen.

Ok onto GOALS!

I have dropped enough weight to now start sculpting my body as I see it. One thing I do to help me envision what I wish to look like is find an image online that best resembles what I want to achieve physically. One of my favorite bodies belongs to Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. She is 43 and thinking, once again, of entering the 2012 Olympics! Clearly, I will be rooting for her!

SO, I have an image in my mind. Now, what do I want to be able to physically do? Well, I want to be able to lift my own weight of 130-135lbs. Once I am able to achieve that, everything else is just a plus. Also, I want to increase my flexibility.  Flexibility is key and most people don't take the time to do exercises like Yoga or just regular stretching to increase their ability to move farther and deeper. This results in the muscle head look and being extra stiff for no reason. So people, of you are going to do any of these workouts or your own version of them, PLEASE STRETCH!!! Or you will break, pop, or strain something and that is no fun, when you could have just taken some preventive steps. Don't give me the satisfaction of saying, "I told you."

Also, I want to look like my business. Being an Independent Beachbody Coach and owning my own business has been a blessing. Working with amazing people in other states, working out with others and just building residual income is always fun and exciting. And how else could I prove that Beachbody is worth EVERYONES time! Well, I can look the part. In anything that you do, do it because you love it. Do it because it resonates deeply with you. And BE the person you see yourself as. Whether in fitness or in music, I always saw myself as someone who was mentally and physically strong. I have had many challenges and obstacles test that strength and I have come out victorious. I have failed and I have gotten back up again.

So as I embark on kicking my own butt again, increasing the intensity of my workouts, by doing the P90X/TurboFire Hybrid, I ask you to challenge yourself today. Make a list of your goals. Keep it simple and realistic. Make goals that you can accomplish today and in the near future. Always remain in the "NOW" with your thoughts and actions, understanding that actions you take today will magnify your life the moment you step into being yourself rather then waiting to become YOU.

I will be blogging my progress and putting up videos about how I'm doing and feeling, what I'm eating and what I'm leaving. Many have asked that I do these videos to see exactly what it is I do to get results. I may cry in a video, or scream, or be happy or angry, so prepare yourself. I'm willing to be vulnerable and HUMAN so that you can see that, through it all, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Life is meant to abundant and it is you who chooses how much abundance will be allowed to enter your reality.

Have an awesome day!
