Why I decided to become a beachbody coach

The day I decided to jump in with both feet to the beachbody team was a day I will never ever forget or regret! I have already learned so much through this ongoing internship and I would recommend this to every single person I know!! This internship helps you become better in tune with yourself and with what you want out of life and it is so inspiring to listen to and share in everyone's success and journey! I learn something new and am forever growing in this company!!
I decided I wanted to embark on this new journey because it is something I can do while staying home with my son, I dedicate 2 hr of my day to this business and I am already seeing a profit! I decided I wanted to do this because I want to help contribute financially to my family. But most of all I decided I wanted to do this because I truly want to help people!
I recently just started my first challenge group and for those of you who don't know what that is, it is a place filled with motivation, inspiration, love, knowledge, and all the support needed to reach goals you only dream of! I am absolutely loving planning out my challenges and helping my friends and family achieve there goals!
By becoming a beachbody coach it has helped me feel needed and appreciated. It is slowly starting to change my life for the better! I enjoy my life so much more now! If you are ever interested in talking health or fitness with me please do not hesitate to message me! I genuinely want to help others become the best versions of themselves!

Embarking on a new fitness journey

I am very excited to embark on a new fitness journey with you all! I have been thinking long and hard about this and IT just feels right! I really want to help inspire others and to continually be inspired by others! I have truly found a love for my health and fitness and it I'd extremely liberating!

An opportunity has come up for me to be a beach body coach. I have looked into it and decided that I am going to jump in with both feet and not look back!
Matt and I did p90x before we got married we ordered the shakeology, the prep workout drink and the post work out drink and we were diligent and we absolutely loved it! We were both in pretty good shape by the end of it, but we didn't feel like we achieved the results we so desperately wanted. We were working out an hour plus every single day! We were drinking out shakes and taking our supplements?! Why were we not ripped?! So what did we do? We quit, we gave up, through in the towel. I now know we were missing the most important step! We never changed out eating habits!!

What we eat and our portion sizes are the most important thing in fitness and in health! If you are not willing to change your eating habits you will not reach your goals! Sure you will lose some weight and feel better because your exercising BUT I promise you if you don't eat healthy and fuel your body you will not feel good and you will not reach your full potential!

I am beyond excited to share my experience with you guys this time around! Now that I am mentally, physically and emotionally on board with this journey! I know the results will be amazing I know I will feel amazing and I promise you that I will be open and honest about every single step of my journey.

My husband asked me why I was being so public about my lifestyle change and I've really been pondering that a lot lately and the answer is because I want to help each and every one of you! I want you to feel good, look good, to be healthy, happy and strong! I want to build you up and make a difference!

Matt and I are doing the p90x 3 right now and are loving it!! It's 30 min hard core amazing work outs! The kind of workout that your dripping from sweat every single beautiful time you do them! And BONUS they are only 30 min and you do them in the comfort of your own home!! I am a big supporter of at home workouts! You do not need a gym! Once your kiddos are sleeping or once your home at the end of the day make the time! Make your health a priority! All you need is the desire to want it! Make it a routine! Take care of yourself! NO appearance is not everything I KNOW that! BUT your health should be!!

P90x3 sure why not?!

So Matt and I decided we are going to do p90x3! Me thinking oh ya I'm in great shape this will be easy peasy.... Yaa not so much!! Lol I am loving it though! I love pushing myself!! Setting goals and pushing my body to it's limits is quite liberating!! We still go for our morning hike and I still throw in my m5 work out 2-3 times a week but instead of my regular circuit work out I'm substituting it with p90x3! I needed this change! It's easy to get comfortable in your daily routine and just do the minimum but I don't want to do that! I always want to be striving for more!

Matt and I did p90x before we got married so over 3 years ago now and we had a love hate relationship with it! By the end of it we were happy we did it but the hour workout every day just wasn't feasable for our lifestyle. As soon as we were done we completely stopped working out. We also never followed any kind of meal plan so we were in ok shape but definitely not like we are now! We are so excited to see what our results will be this time around, now that we are both in good shape and are eating healthy and want to work out! Couples who work out together stay together right?!? Lol but in all seriousness I am so happy that Matt and I are in this fitness journey together! We both feel so fantastic there is no looking back from here!

We are on week 3 of p90x3 and are sore but feeling great!! I actually love feeling sore it means that I am truly working my body and that means RESULTS!! If you are getting tired of your same old work out routines I strongly reccomend trying the p90x 3 they are amazing at home workouts that are only 30 min!! They will kick your but every time and leave you wanting more!!     Xoxo Ashylla
