Cheryl is the friend that got me started on my health quest as an advocate for alternative health. Cheryl is also my friend that has tried everything with me, we once lived together in an apartment in the sky (literally a penthouse with a huge patio), she saved my life in a frantic midnight move, she loaned her couch and her shoulder to me when I really needed it and she stood beside me as I married my best friend.
Cheryl also has some challenges including an allergy to Chocolate (it even hurts to type that), endometriosis and a desire to live in the middle of nowhere. So finding something that works for her is a huge win.
I am fascinated by the new offer from Beachbody, beach body on demand, Netflix for workouts, which I LOVE. I love the idea of all of my favourite opportunities in one place. I know I have completed Jillian Michaels (different company same idea) 90 day challenge a half a dozen times and as much as I love her, I don't want to do it again.
I am always leary of expensive things, so the fact that dear, sweet Cheryl already shelled out the big bucks she can review it first (much like me with Isagenix, ps. awesome).
Without further adieu, ladies and gentlemen - CHERYL!
I have fought to keep my weight in check for as long as I
can remember!
Sometimes it seemed to melt off without any effort from myself
and other times I would have to put myself on a strict diet and exercise
plan (1). After moving to the “middle of nowhere”,(2) like my friends lovingly
call it, and fighting with fertility treatments, pregnancy and now not having a
quick access to the gym the weight just kept piling on.
Earlier this year
I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t recognize the girl in the mirror.
Overweight and riddled with joint pain she was a shadow of the girl I
remembered.(3) I knew in that moment something needed to be done, no more
procrastination and no more excuses. (4)
I’d been in contact with a friend
who was an Independent Team Coach with Beachbody and she was following the
workouts herself – her results were amazing (it was along with a proper
nutrition plan but that’s not what we’re talking about here)(5). She was
working out with her kids around her or while her kids were asleep...there was
no allotting 3 hours for travel and workout to get to the gym. (6)(7)
I thought, 'hmmm this might work'. BUT I have workout videos and I don’t use them because
I’m bored of them! They had a free trial for Beachbody on Demand so I thought
I’d give it a go.
Let me tell you what Beachbody on Demand is ... its
like the Netflix for workout programs. The all access on demand has
workouts from Core de force, P90, 21day fix, insanity they have yoga, tae chi,
family workouts, dance workouts, all kinds! The trial didn’t have the premium
content like 21 day fix (8) but if you chose the “Challenge du jour” button it
would pull a workout from some of the premium programs that you could try! I
loved it! The workouts were under an hour and a lot were around the half hour
mark – I could totally manage 30 minutes while my son sleeps, or plays around me!
AMAZING! I got about 2 weeks in to the 30 day trial and asked my friend to help
me sign up.
Best. Decision. Ever.
It’s 30 minutes to better
myself for my family and for me!(9) I can do this! (10)
I workout while my son is down for a nap and I’m doing it! I’ve since
become a Coach myself and am shouting from the rooftops (11) what a great program
this is!
Check it out - Beachbody on Demand.
Thank you Cheryl... now the rub, I have issued a challenge. Isagenix vs. Beachbody... who will come out on top?? We'll be back with the results.
And check out the poll to vote on which program you believe will offer the best results.

(1) - Oh the joys of being a girl, Richard gives up Pepsi for a month and drops 15 pounds. I give up everything for 2 months and gain 3 pounds!
(2) literally the middle of nowhere
(3) This is also known as the baby fog, typically occurring 6 months postpartum, when you don't recognize your body or your life and you have slept in 8 months.
(4) but my show just started, I ran a lot of stairs, sleep is also an intricate part of a weight loss plan.
(5) but we will be
(6) who has 3 hours for the gym
(7) oh right, she's in the middle of nowhere
(8) or Cize the main reason I am considering it
