About Me

My photo
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!

Lesson 7:  WOWY and Win!
The Team Beachbody Virtual Supergym 

Do you WOWY?

Today I'm going to tell you about the WOWY Online Supergym.  

Be sure to read the whole thing because later in the lesson you'll learn how you could win up to $1000!


Soon after Beachbody started,  its founders Carl Daikeler and Jon Congden noticed something interesting.  Customers started setting appointments with each other on the message boards to work out at the same time, even though they exercised in living rooms on opposite sides of the country.  Through this inspiration, WOWY was born.  

WOWY, which stands for Work Out With You, is Beachbody's online supergym.  It allows you to virtually workout with friends anywhere in the world and "see" them in real time sweating alongside you. 
The beauty of WOWY is its accountability.  You simply invite a friend to be your success buddy, log in at your scheduled time, and look for your friend.  If you don't show, you better believe they will notice- and hopefully call you on it!

Friends don't do Beachbody? That's fine.  Everyone's invited under the fitness tent.  There's a spot where you can log in workouts such as walking, running, swimming, or other!   (So while running to the fridge doesn't count, virtually any other workout does!) 

Don't have friends who work out?  We got your back.  Just plan your workout in advance with the WOWY workout calendar, then either select a success buddy from the people already scheduled at that time, or allow yourself to be chosen by someone else as a success buddy.  It's that simple.



Beachbody can help you succeed in your fitness journey in several ways.  I already mentioned the accountability and the monthly calendar.  But there are other tools as well.  WOWY has a diary where you can write down your workouts, diet, how you are feeling, or what song you liked while you were exercising, or anything you like.  Studies have shown people who keep fitness diaries lose more weght and keep it off.  It's right there for you in WOWY.  

Another really cool tool (under the 'Other Tools' tab) is the Transformation Tracker.  Just plug in your fitness and weight loss goals, and update your tracker weekly.  It automatically graphs your progress!  Now you can literally SEE THE POUNDS SLIP AWAY as you watch your pullup numbers go up!  

Also in the 'Other Tools' section are the WOWY workout groups.  When you join a group, friends from that group are shown at the top of your screen, making it easy to find them when you log in! 

And now, the money question.  How can WOWY make your belly skinny but your wallet fat?
 
In the Supergym Sweepstakes, every day you log in to WOWY, you have a chance to win an i-pod, digital camera, or cash prize of up to $1000!!  How's that for incentive.  

To enter the daily Supergym Sweepstakes, at the end of your workout, when you click 'done', you'll see a link.  Follow that to the electonic entry form.  Simply fill it out and you'll be notified the next day if you are the lucky winner.  

Club members have it even easier!  As a Team Beachbody Club member, every day you workout in WOWY, you are automatically entered in to the daily drawing, no form required. 

I (Kevin) won $300 in WOWY a little over a year ago, and I have plenty of other friends from the community who have won as well!  You could be next, so log your workouts in every day!!
   

Your Homework:
1.  Sign up (click here to sign up for free) then Log in at www.TeamBeachbody.com and click the WOWY button on the left side of the screen.  Then sign up.  To win the sweepstakes, you must have a picture uploaded, so don't forget to do that, too!
2.  Schedule your workouts for the next month in advance.  Treat them as an important appointment every day and watch your results skyrocket!!
3.  Join some WOWY workout groups.  My favorite group is cleverly named The Fit Doc Group.  I'd love to have you join us!  Ask your coach if he or she has a favorite group, too!  


As always, be consistent, make good decisions, and email your coach if you need a little nudge.  We are here to help you get Great Results!

Keep Pushing Play,

-Doc
