More About Me...

Hi, my name is April. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 beautiful girls. While I love my kids, they take up a lot of time! But as my husband keeps telling me, if you want to be healthy and fit you have to take time for yourself. This blog is all about how I use home workouts to keep fit and active.

Another Tid-Bit...

While I do stay at home, I am also a Team Beachbody coach (you know, the P90X company). This company has transformed my husband, kept me slim and tight, and can help you too!

45 Day Challenge- P90X, Turbo Fire and Brazil Butt Lift

Just a little background of this challenge.  We had some friends over last week were talking with them about exercise and nutrition.  And ways to stay motivated with your game plan so we decided to do a 45 day challenge.  It starts today November 1st and our last measurements will be done on December 15th.  It is between Brent and I on a team and the other couple on a team.  We are doing % of inches lost.  The losing team will buy dinner.

I needed this challenge not really to lose weight but to get back into the routine of exercising and eating a little better.  I have not exercised since sometime in September.  Granted I don’t look horrible but Brent and I have our 10 year anniversary trip coming up in December.  So I need to be able to feel good in a bathing suite in December because our trip is a cruise to places that will be warm.

I like to be challenged and am very competitive.  So I will push myself to win the challenge.  This will help keep me motivated to exercise daily and not snack on all the Halloween candy in our house.   I have a schedule of exercise that start today and go through December 15th.  I am using different exercises from P90X, Turbo Fire and Brazil Butt Lift.

Each one of these exercise programs will target different areas that I am wanting to tone.  I will be updating on these different programs to let you know how the challenge is going.  Today was P90X  shoulders and arms.  As of right now my arms feel like jello.

This is going to be a great 45 days!

Starting this week- Turbo Fire

Coming off a very busy and fun weekend, it is hard to get my stuff in order.  It takes me a couple days to get my stuff together and organized.  Oh well, at least I stay  home with the girls so it is a little easier to do.

Today I have already done a load of laundry, made all the beds, done breakfast for the girls and just finished exercising.  The exercise I did today was Turbo Fire sculpt and core 20.  I am not a fan of lifting but I know muscle burns fat so it is a must to do a few days a week.  Core 20 on the other hand I absolutely love!  You use a band that gives resistance to your core and really works those tummy muscles.  I think tomorrow is HIIT 15 of Turbo Fire.

What are you doing to exercise these days?  If you don’t have a plan in action I am starting P90X on August 7th.  I will have a group for accountability and support through the 90 days.  If you would be interested in ordering P90X or if you already have it and want to join me on this journey please let me know.

Hope you have a great day!

Turbo Fire- 90 Days Completed!!

Since the last time I posted here I have completed a full 90 days of Turbo Fire.  I will be posting my results and maybe pictures soon.  Turbo Fire was awesome!!

On day 1 I thought I would not be able to make it to the end and surely not make it 90 days.  But I pushed through that mind set and was able to successfully finish.  I was very proud of what all my measurements went down to.

Since completing 90 days of Turbo Fire, I have started a 3 month hybrid of Turbo Fire and Brazil Butt Lift that Brent put together for me.    I love the hybrid!!  It gives me the challenge of Turbo Fire and the help of getting my butt ready for swim suit weather/beach vacation with Brazil Butt Lift.

Our family is doing great and is ready for the summer!  Our family is a beach family and we can’t wait until July 31 when we leave for Gulf Shores!!

Check back in a few days for the results of my 90 days of Turbo Fire.

Turbo Fire- Core 20, Stretch 40

So today was Core 20, Stretch 40 with Turbo Fire.  My core is still burning.  It is only 20 minutes but it really works your core.  The stretch 40 is more like yoga.  When I started doing it, it was not something I enjoyed but it has gotten better.  I could barely reach the floor on most of it but now I lay my hand down flat on the floor.

This Saturday I am using Turbo Fire to exercise with a friend.  Usually Saturday is my rest day but she has been wanting to exercise with me and that is the only day she could come over.  I am excited about her interest in exercising.  I hope to be mentoring her soon.

Today,  a friend is coming over to have me make a spring wreath for her front door.  I love doing wreathes!!  They are lots of fun and lets me use my creative side.

Spring break is almost over and we can get back to our normal schedule.

 

Turbo Fire- Keeps me motivated

Not sure if I am the only one but when it comes to exercising I have to use/do a program that keeps me motivated and excited about what I am doing.  I think when you find the right exercise program for you it is very exciting every day to get up and exercise.

After having Savannah I tried P90X but learned very quickly that it was not for me.  Not saying that I was not going to exercise but that I needed to find something I enjoyed doing.  So Brent (being a Beach Body Coach) helped me find something that I would enjoy which was Brazil Butt Lift.  So I did it for several rounds and got a great body for last summer.

Then I saw Turbo Fire and thought it looked fun and motivating!  So he ordered it for me and I started it early this year.  So far it has been great!!  I am seeing results in the first month!  And it keeps me interested in exercising every day.

When looking for an exercise program, look for something that fits what you are wanting to accomplish with your body.  Find something that makes you excited every day to be exercising.  It may not be the first thing you try and that is ok.  Keep looking and I promise you will find something that keeps you motivated to reach your goals and have the body you want.

I have said before, just because you are a mom does not mean you have to have a mom body.  You can have children and still have a great looking body.

Now, this week is spring break for the Worley home!  That doesn’t mean much this year.  If Brent can get off work Friday we are going to take the girls to the Little Rock zoo.  If not I will take them to do something fun here in Conway.

It is starting to stay warm in Conway so I am going to be taking on the massive task of switching out heavy winter clothes for spring/summer clothes for 3 girls.  This is a 2 to 3 days task in our home.

I can’t believe it is already the end of March.  I will be planning Tori’s 4th birthday party in the next few weeks!  Where has the time gone.  Then not long after Tori’s I will be planning Savannah’s 2nd birthday party.  Oh Wow!!

I hope everyone is having a great week!!

Helping Others

For those how know me and know me well know that I have a giving heart.  I love helping others in all areas of life.  I love seeing people achieve goals for themselves, seeing smiles when helping with the smallest things and  love knowing that I helped making a difference in peoples’  lives.

Most of you know that I am a Beach Body Coach.  And what this means is I get to help people find exercise programs that fit their fitness levels and desires.  Being a coach I can do lots more.  I also get to work with people one on one if they would like.  I love being able to see people achieve their goals either in their fitness, health or financial.  And with Beach Body I can do all 3 of those in one business.

A few weeks ago Brent and I decided we wanted to order an exercise program called Body Gospel.  It is a 5 week program that is for people really just starting to exercise.  We knew that people who have used the program have gotten great results but since it would not be a program for us we decided to ask a great/dear friend of ours if she would like to commit to us and try out the program.  She said yes!!

So on Sunday I met with her and we sat down and went over her goals she wants to reach for her body.  We also made sure she had set out some rewards for reaching each goal.  I then took her measurements so we can keep track of her progress along the way.  I am so excited about helping her!!  I know she will get great results if she stays committed!

I am also helping another friend right now with some life things and exercising!!  I know this seems minor but it is very rewarding for me! I truly enjoy helping others, I get joy out of seeing others reach goals and achieve what ever they are working towards.

I will be keeping you updated on my friends progress with Body Gospel.

I will also reporting very soon my results from my first 4 weeks with  Turbo Fire.  Today was my last day in week 4.  Week 5 looks a little more challenging.

Also, I have been challenged from Brent which I will talk a little about later.  But I am needing some people to sign up a coaches with Beach Body so Brent has to get a tattoo.  Details will becoming soon!!

Day 6 of Turbo Fire

I started a new exercise program on February 3, 2011.  The program is called  Turbo Fire.  Can you say wow!!!!!!

So the on February 2, Brent took my measurements which I will not share as of right now.  He also took some before photos so I could track my progress.  Here are 2 of my before photos.

I know that for having 3 kids my body is not bad.  I just need to tone and do some reshaping.

Turbo fire is a cardio base program.  It really pushes you!  I do have to use my inhaler before exercising with Turbo Fire.  I learned the hard way on Sunday and had to pause  use the inhaler and start again.

The first few days were difficult because I was learning the moves.  They are not difficult moves but it was just a matter of getting into the rhythm of doing them.  On day 4 I knew the moves better and truly pushed myself and I was pretty sore.  Not going to lie and going to be real.  But as Brent says “it means I actually did something.”

I will be sharing my journey with Turbo Fire often.  Watch for my transformation!!  I am excited to share my journey with everyone.

2011

Well, we are a month in the new year!

The family is moving right along.  Brooklyn and Tori are in preschool on Monday/Wednesday/Friday from nine until noon.  Savannah stays home with me wishing she could go to preschool with the big girls.

Brent has started back with his exercise and nutrition and doing well with it.  He has already lost about 8 pounds and several inches since Jan. 1.  You can keep up with his journey too (Brent’s  Blog)  I love seeing his results!!  He has become an inspiration for lots of people.

As far as my exercise journey, I am starting a new exercise program on Thursday call Turbo Fire.  If you would like more information on Turbo Fire please let me know.  I am also looking for a few accountability partners.  I need all the motivation and encouragement that I can get.  I am not as driven as Brent!

I will be posting my before pictures and tracking my results from Turbo Fire.  I am excited about getting started!!

Since the last post, I have started working my Beach Body business.  I am now looking for people who want to join a great business, get discounts on exercise program, and help others on a journey for themselves.  I will be talking more about all these things in the next few weeks!!

I hope everyone is doing well this new year!!  I know great things are going to happen in 2011.  What are you going to do to make a difference.
