“Fitness is a journey, not a destination”

My name is Alese and I am a fitness instructor and Beachbody Coach doing my part to help people reach their fitness goals. Please join my team in reversing the trend of obesity. I’m just an email away.

My Journey. . .

As we age we begin to piece our “ahhha moments” in to better meaning into our lives. After having my second baby, I really struggled to get back into shape. I purchased the latest fitness DVDs and tried to follow the programs, but it wasn’t until I saw Chalene’s infomercial for Turbo Jam and ordered it, that I found an effective workout! I lost my last 10 pounds plus another 10! The difference was that I looked forward to doing Turbo every day and I loved it so much that I really kept trying to push myself to the next level. Ahha – my soul-mate workout! I love it so much that I have gotten certified to teach it.

Over the past few years, I have had other stumbling blocks in my fitness quest. I have gone through surgeries which required minimal to no working out for 6 weeks at a time, but this past year I was rear-ended leaving me to recover from back, neck and eye issues. My recovery has been much slower than I was planning on, but the biggest downer is that I haven’t been able to Turbo. I now have a bulging disc in my lower back, which has been very painful. I quit teaching Turbo Kick after the accident, for what I thought was going to be only a moment in time, now leaving my somewhat depressed and searching for other ways to stay in shape nearly a year after my accident.

Chalene has once again come through for me; she has completed her book “Push”, which has given me a new “ahhhha moment”. Fortunately when I started Turbo Jamming I was able to take the weight and reshape my body with only working out. I looked at the eating plans and did use Michi’s Ladder as a reference, but dreaded the idea of counting calories. Within Chalene’s book, she talks about the 80/20 Rule. 80% of your physical result will come from food – ahhha this is why I can’t get rid to that little belly pouch! I need to eat cleaner. However, it wasn’t until I started counting calories that I realized how easy it is to over eat. There are so many times during the day that I would randomly walk to the kitchen to grab a snack. Healthily or not, if you over eat 100 calories a day you will add an extra 10 pounds a year to your body!

With Chalene’s guidance and motivation, I am continuing my fitness journey, confident that little by little I will reach all of my goals! I’m always looking for new success buddies and would love to hear about your journey.

My Progress

My fitness goal: Tone Up

Transformation story

I started the workout like everyone else, awkward, breathless and hopeful. Within 6 weeks of doing mostly the 20 minute workout 3 times a week, I started to see a change. I lost 6.5 inches and 7 lbs. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight (145 lbs) and I liked how my body was changing. My stomach is not quite there, but my hips and thighs are actually smaller! My changes aren’t earthshaking, but I feel more confident and don’t mind shopping for clothes (when I get the chance)!

I didn’t log onto WOWY until November 2007 because I felt I was doing fine. But as the holidays neared and life got busy, I was having trouble motivating myself to keep on a workout routine. It’s been a great resource just using WOWY because you can see how many times you’ve workout, rested or missed. It is a great accountability partner for me and the kick I needed. The more I have used it, the more support I’ve gotten. It has been a wonderful experience and life changing. Because of the Team BeachBody I have come in contact with wonderful people who have supported me unconditionally and inspired me to take my workouts to the next level.

I have gotten my Turbo Kick Certification (from Mindy in the Turbo Jam dvd) and have started teaching classes at Tomball Fitness. I have also started a small wave of fitness within my neighborhood. It’s great fun and BeachBody makes it easy to do! Come on you know you want to join the fun! Life’s a party live it up to your fullest potential!

Remember: “You won’t take time for yourself, until you make time for yourself!”
