About Me

A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

Switch it up





I really focused on going as low as I could on all the "squats" kind of moves.  Aiming to palm the floor while keeping my chest up.  I did notice the more tired I got, the worse my form.  Meaning, that my chest would go up, my butt was not as low.  How did I notice this so I could focus on it for the next move or rep.  I can see my reflection in the patio window.  This time of year, I guess the darkness outside comes in handy.  Makes the patio doors a huge mirror!

The other thing I really focused on during plyo legs was to keep my balance.  I figured keeping my balance added a little extra challenge.  To my head, I pretended it was working my abs.  Does it really, I can only hope.  I mean most balance acts work the core right?

I just know that this workout was great!  Its not often that I end a move and feel my legs just want to give out from under me because they are worn out!  I say, feel the burn and push through the burn.  Remember that on the wall squats that last like 4 minutes!

I totally recommend anyone wanting a different workout for Plyo X, try Tony's One on One- Plyo Legs.  To learn more or order Plyo Legs, just click here.

As I leave, I just want to remind you.  If you ever have questions on any of the Beachbody programs, just drop me an email at HeatherB@BeachbodyCoach.com!  I'd love to help pick the right program for you!
