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!

Customizing P90X!




One of the beautiful things about P90X is its versatility. It can be molded into different things. The program offers you three training options: classic, lean, and doubles. These training schedules target different end-goals. You have probably also seen customized P90X plans to incorporate P90X into you skiing, marathon, and other activities.

The key to customizing a plan is understanding the structure of P90X, because any program should follow the structure of P90X.


Your Foundation
No matter what your end-goals, you almost always want to do a full round of P90X as designed, because it builds such a solid foundation. If you don't think you are ready for P90X, why not start with Power 90® or Slim in 6 to build your foundation for P90X. Either way, it's important to have a well-rounded fitness base regardless of what you're training for—whether it's a triathlon or a bodybuilding competition.

One of the most common reasons that people don't improve at a sport and get injured is by only training specifically for that sport and ignoring their base fitness. Get in the habit of thinking of P90X as high-level base (or foundation) training. The base you build with P90X improves your capacity for improvement for all other endeavors.

Periodization
Periodizational training came about when we figured out how long your body could continue to make improvements in one realm or another. It's all based around a progression curve where three things happen. First, you adapt to training (the adaptation phase). Next, you make rapid progress once your body masters the style of training (the growth or mastery phase). Finally, your body no longer makes improvements because it's too good at the chore you've given it, rendering your training too easy. Your progression curve then levels off, which is called a plateau. Whether a foundation program or a specialized program, all physical training follows the above progression curve example.

Progressive Overload
To keep your body from hitting a plateau, you must overload your system during each workout. Adding weight or intensity over time is referred to as progressive overload. In the simplest sense, each workout should be slightly harder than the last. When you can no longer achieve this, you've hit a plateau.

Recovery
Following the above progression will eventually lead to a plateau, no matter how precise your training is. When this happens, your fitness will only improve if you let your body recover or, more appropriately, do exercise that promotes recovery.

Putting It All together
Every sound fitness program will consider the above. Designing actual programs requires more knowledge and consideration, but these steps will be the template for everything you do.


Also remember, you can add even more variety and challenges to you P90X routine by either incorporating P90X+ or Tony's One on One series. P90X+ is definately more challenging and can push you even further! The One on One series is a great way to mix and add variety to you normal P90X workouts. For example, I love The Fountain of Youth in place of YogaX. It's shorter and just perfect to fit into my day!

Finally- make sure to log into your Team Beachbody Account to order. Not a Free Member of Team Beachbody, then visit my website at Heathers Fitness Spot to check out the details of these programs or to order.

Is it possible?




I know I know, many of you that know me will say- yeah right, she doesn't do yoga!  Your right.  When it came time to do P90X, Yoga X, I had every excuse!  I often swapped it with Core Syn!  I just couldn't stand it.  I would start it and make it for 45 minutes, then just had to stop.   So, I just thought it was me and this, yeah I'm not really into it.  The whole, set your mind at ease,... What are you talking about!  My mind doesn't shut down long enough to get to the ohmmms!

But, I have really been trying to recovery from some shoulder injury- that I still have no idea how I did it????  But, since the pain is all up my back, shoulder, neck.  I just want to take a few light days and let it recover so I can go back strong.

Because I committed to that, but I also promised myself, no excuses!  I will get up at 5 am and workout all week!  So, as I said before, I was determined to do something and yoga was popping in my head.  I still have a hard time getting past the initial deep inhales with eyes closed, why because all I do is yawn and want to go back to bed.  But, after a few minutes, I am all into it.  I start off stiff and sore, and feel each leg, arm.... loosen up as the workout goes by.

What is making it extra special is my dear husband has been joining me the last few days!  Yes, I not only am getting him out of bed, without complaining and ON HIS OWN FREE WILL!  He is also WORKING OUT!  I am hoping that after almost 2 years of seeing me push play or go for  run or,.... it may actually be rubbing off on him!  He is already talking about P90X and giving it a try!

So, I sit here and ask, is it possible?  Is it possibly my husband will continue this streak with me?  And, is it possible I am finding a new love- Yoga.  This fountain of youth, is great.  Its got some strength moves, balance moves, some ab work.  And, it makes me sweat, so I feel like I'm doing more then just stretching.  And best part yet (yeah a lot of and's) its only about 45 minutes.  Just when I say to myself, I had enough- Tony is saying we are done!  

Now that I have 2 new things happening in my life, I have said I will do yoga everyday this week!  But come Sat. I am already wondering what am I going to do next?  Another round of Chalean Extreme?  Or a new round of P90X?  Hmm, the choices are too hard.  I love Chalean and how short they are and how they really hit my "problem" areas.  But now I am thinking, take what I learned and see what that can do for me when applied to the X?

Ahhh, but how I love having so many choices.

Heather

A little Fountain of Youth


Ok, so I have been struggling all weekend with a pinched nerve or something that was affecting my shoulder/neck/back area.  It was quite painful, so I was like a lot of people, I found an excuse to not workout.

But, I refused to do that today!  It was Monday, I determined I was going to wake up at 5 am and do something to get me back on the morning track.  I was still feeling terrible in the shoulder and back and thought, no way will I be able to lift without pain!  So, as I laid in bed trying to convenience myself to get up and not skip a workout, it suddenly came to me- YOGA!

I thought why not do a little yoga to stretch out my soreness.  It would be  perfect way to workout and help me recover from that nagging pain in my shoulder/neck.

I thought what yoga tapes do I have.  I had P90X, Yoga X- no way, I hate that workout.  It's sooo long, 90 minutes!  Then I have the Ho Ala ke Kino, hmm that is a good short yoga workout.  Then I have Yoga Booty Ballet, but was really in the mood for some Tony!  After the last few months with Chalean Extreme, I needed my Tony fix.  The it hit me- Fountain of Youth from Tony's One on One!

That turned out to be the perfect workout.  Its a total of 48 minutes, but really only 40 minutes of yoga.  So, if you are like me and hate yoga X, get this one to sub-in!  Its the perfect length!

Tony goes through the standard moves, warrior, chair, downward dogs,...  At first I was a little sleepy and had a hard time getting in the mood.  But, that only took a few down dogs to get me warmed up.

Then I quickly realized, I really needed that as a good stretch.  Chalean must be working my legs and building those muscles, because boy were they tight!

Now, its going on 6 pm and I'm glad to say, that really helped!  For the first day in a few days, I got through without a bottle of Advil to kill the tension/pain in my shoulder!  I actually feel a heck of a lot better.  

I'm thinking tomorrow may just need to be another day of Fountain of Youth!  It really was a good warm up for the week, a good stretch, and a good way to recovery from whatever injury I did!

So, this serves as a reminder- if you injured yourself lately and need a little break, maybe put in some yoga!  I recommend Fountain of Youth for a good, fairly quick workout!

New Direction


I have been sick most of last week.  This really threw me off the mental track I was on with P90X.  It's ok, because I have been getting back on track doing a little bit of Turbo Jam!  Its nice to have a fun workout to turn  to when you don't feel 100% and can't really Bring It with the normal intensity of the X!  

Turbo Jam has been great!  Its been getting my heart rate up, its been a fun working on my coordination!  And, I always forget how great  that program works your abs!  Its all about proper form!  But with good form, and the hand weights for a little more, that is a wonderful workout!  It never seems to fail to get me back in the groove!

But, after thinking about my goals and my schedule for the next month, I've decided to take a short break from Tony!  I love Tony!  But, at times I think he takes some mental thought to keep me going!  I am in the mind set of Christmas!  A ton to do, shopping, cleaning, decorating, parties,... that I need something to just do!  Nothing that requires a ton of brain power, I really want a workout I can go through the motions with.  I also determined I want to work on really slim my thighs!  Ok, not fat, but not where I want them to be.

Based on my schedule and my goals, I am going to take my workouts in a new direction.  I plan on doing at least 2 weeks of my favorite person for slimming thighs!  Debbie and Burn it up!  She is perfect for the mindless workout that you just do!  And boy she knows how to work that problem area- butt, thighs, abs!  So, I will turn my attention away from Tony for a few weeks and focus on Burn it Up with Debbie!  If I need my Tony Fix, I will through in one of his One on One workouts for  day!  I am so waiting for the Christmas Special workout due in December!  If you have not heard, if you subscribe to the One on One workouts, you will be getting a bonus video in December.  Its Tony working out with his elf friends.    I've seen previews and it looks pretty, ummm, different and fun!  So, keep an eye out for it!


Want to learn more about any of the products mentioned above, you can click here, or drop me an email at HeatherB@BeachbodyCoach.com!  Here's to just pushing play and getting results!
