Lululemon 12 Week Challenge A Success!!

A Vision… A Goal… Motivation… Drive…  Success.

Goal Setting.

Have you ever set a goal for yourself?

Were you able to achieve that goal?

What about rewarding yourself for it in the end to acknowledge all of your hard work and dedication?

What better way to reward yourself for reaching that goal then to treat yourself!

Whether it be a pedicure or a massage, whether it be a night out or an extra something special from your favorite sweet shop.

It is always nice to recognize all of your efforts!

Well, our local group of Fit Yummy Mummy's has done just that and I am so darn proud of each of them!!

Twelve weeks ago an idea started to run a Fitness Challenge amongst ourselves. 

For most of us we work out together once, twice even three times a week.  We keep ourselves motivated by working out as a group and at the same time we share our nutrition tips and strategies.

We wanted something to keep ourselves that much more accountable to our healthy lifestyle and to each other.

Jessica and I came up with the details of the challenge and we titled it the Lululemon Challenge.  Meaning a Lululemon shopping trip was our reward in the end!  How cool is that!  Our challenge ran from August 10 to November 2.

Having never been to a Lululemon Athletica location yet, I was SUPER pumped and excited to check out what was in store for us!

Well, low and behold was there ever something in store for all of us!!

Lululemon Athletica Masonville set us up the best night of shopping ever!  They were FanTasTic!!! 

First thing we noticed when we entered the store was a HUGE sign welcoming us Yummy Mummy’s!!

We were flattered and immediately our shopping trip was off to a great start!

We all picked up a little of this and some of that and started trying stuff on.  Well word got out that the “Fit Yummy Mummy's” were in the store and soon Christa, Laryssa and Marie were at our side cheering us on! 

They helped with sizes and ideas for different styles of clothes we needed.  They even provided an assortment of yummy veggies, fruit, cheeses and dips just for us! 

P1100250P1100259

It was just too cool and they were so SUPER nice!  You girls ROCK and totally made our night!

P1100251P1100258P1100252P1100253 

Lululemon Athletica Masonville went above and beyond to make our shopping trip the MOST enjoyable!   We never expected that our little idea of challenging and motivating one another would lead to such a recognition!  We were completely flattered by their amazing hospitality and keen interest in our inspiring stories!

Thank you for EVERTHING Lululemon Athletica Masonville, especially Christa, Laryssa and Marie!

Top 10 Transformation Fat Loss Tips

A group of women, myself included, dedicated to achieving
their fitness and fat loss goals this fall just crossed the finish line
completing the 12 Week  "Get Back To Fit" Fall Transformation Challenge.

To help celebrate as well as motivate
others to take action on their goals,
these women made a list of their most
helpful fat loss tips and strategies....

...actions taken to help lose 10-15 pounds,
3-5 inches off their mommy belly, skyrocket
their energy levels and even wear a bikini
for the first time with confidence.

These ladies have shared their Must Have Tips
creating a "Top 10" list so you can give your
fat loss plan a jump start and look your very
best this holiday season!

Top 10 Transformation Fat Loss Tips

1. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN.
Don't wing it.

2. GET RID OF THE SCALE
I would have given up if I was weighing myself
every day! That is what sabotaged me in the past.

3. Social support is crucial.
If you don't have someone to cheer you on,
it's going to be one hundred times harder
than it needs to be. If I didn't have this
support there is no way I would have finished.

4. Keep a DETAILED journal
And Be Honest - no sense fooling yourself.

5. Think positive.
Some days are harder than others; when you
have a bad day, forgive yourself for the
mistakes you made and move on.

6. Consistency.
In workouts, in eating, in all of it. Get
back on the nutrition/workout wagon, even
if you fell off one day.

7. Keep only supportive food in the house
all the time, and make sure you eat enough
of it.

8. Be teachable.
Don't ever think you know it all or know
better.

9. Look for inspiration wherever possible.
Be an inspiration magnet! Reach out to your
support system, get encouragement when needed,
give it every chance you get, look for quotes,
create vision boards, make a goals list of things
that really get you excited and read it often.

10. Take it day by day.
12 weeks seems like a long time but in the end it
totally flies! Take it one day at a time and you
will be victorious in making it to the end!

We are after all in a fun journey.If there is
ever a slip up, calm down , own up and get back up!

Congratulations to ALL the women who completed
the 12 Week  "Get Back To Fit" Fall Transformation Challenge!

All Your Questions Answered Right Here By Holly!!!

You have asked and Holly has answered!!

With the Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVD Packages  only available until tomorrow, myself and of course Holly have received SO many wonderful questions and feedback about them!!

To help answer the most common of these questions and give you the best advice possible I have posted for you exactly what you need to know below from Holly herself!

You can find the DVD packages if you Click Here ->Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVDs or read further for more information on them!

(The information below comes directly from www.getfitandyummy.com and has been permitted to be reposted here by Holly Rigsby)

**************************************************************************************************

Are These Workouts New?

Yes, new as in the Get Your Body Back DVDs are different than the workouts you will find in the Fit Yummy Mummy 16 Week Fat Loss System – www.FitYummyMummy.com

The 15 minute Fit Yummy Mummy workouts on each of the DVDs are workouts that have been previously only available to ClubFYM members as a downloadable workout of the month and to Fit Club Members as their monthly DVD. This is why after each DVD title and description you will see in parentheses (This was Fit Club’s August DVD)

What’s the difference between your Fit Yummy Mummy program and the DVDs?

The Fit yummy Mummy Fat Loss system is a downloadable ebook. This is a complete lifestyle system…meaning I cover motivation, nutrition and exercise. I keep it simple - sticking to whole natural foods, providing a create a meal menu planner and step by step guidelines for making positive changes eating and lifestyle habits, mapping out 15 minute workouts with workout logs that have links for the full color and exact description of how to do each exercise. There are 16 weeks plus 12 weeks of advanced bonus workouts.–basically breaking it down so getting started is not overwhelming.

Do you need BOTH the DVD Package and the Fit Yummy Mummy ebook?

This is a personal decision. Just depends on you – where you are in your fat loss efforts and what your goals entail.

For example, if you have already set your goals, adjusted your mindset, established a support system and are making an honest effort to make healthy changes to your nutrition plan – and really the only thing missing in the formula for success is an effective workout plan? Then No, there is no reason to get the Fit Yummy Mummy ebook. The DVD Package will be all you need to kick start your results.

Now on the other end of the spectrum, if you are JUST getting started and have no clear direction or step by step path to follow, then I highly suggest you consider investing in the full Fit Yummy Mummy ebook.

Shipping

~ Where to?
World Wide – I have been shipping Fit Yummy Mummy DVDs around the world (give ex) since November of 2008

~ How Much?
There is one flat rate of $9.95 for both DVD Packages no matter where they will be shipped.

~ How?
DVD Package are shipped out of Illinois using USPS 1st class shipping. Estimated times range 7 to 10 business days or sooner. If you live outside of the United States it may take 2 to 3 weeks.

~ When?
All DVD orders are being processed this week and will be ready to be shipped on October 12th. Depending on where you live and considering the information listed above is when you can expect to receive your DVDs, you can estimate from there - - please note, there is no reason to wait for you have the downloadable workout log for each and every DVD in your Package. So you can get started as soon as you purchase your package!

Package Options

The DVD event is offering 2 package options for you! Basic and Deluxe. Each DVD has workouts – Workout A and Workout B to rotate between for 4 weeks, complete with downloadable workout logs that explain How To Use your workouts, how to track your progress and even suggest ways to increase the challenge of your workouts so you never hit a plateau.

Only exception to the A/B Workout Format is the Fit Fast Body Weight Circuit DVD which has 3 workouts to rotate between for 4 weeks.

Many DVDs have added bonuses – like MP3 sound tracks, bonus workout examples, warm ups/cool downs, Tabatas and more! To see all the bonuses the DVDs contain be sure to see http://FYMworkouts.com

The Basic DVD Package contains 3 DVDs (with workouts logs and 6 super cool bonuses)
Core Power Moves
Lower Body Power Moves -
Fit Fast Body Weight Circuits

The Deluxe Package contains 9 DVDs (with workouts logs and 6 super cool bonuses)

Core Power Moves
Lower Body Power Moves
Fit Fast Body Weight Circuits
3:2:1 Abs
Upper Body Power Moves
Five Factor Circuits
Tri-Sets and Tabatas
Bikini Fat Burn
Fit Yummy Kettlebell Mummy

What can I expect with these workouts?

I hope you had a chance to experience one of my 15 minute workout sessions when I offered the Bonus Fit Yummy Mummy Videos last week. If not, posting one sample below. The Fit Yummy Mummy workouts are traditionally performed in Super Set Style. I design workouts that contain 6 exercises and I pair them up into super sets.

Super sets are performed like this: a1, a2, a1, a2, a1, a2 rest… b1, b2, b1, b2, b1, b2 rest….c1, c2, c1, c2, c1, c2 Finished! This takes a mere 10 to 15 minutes, the moves I have chosen for you target all the major muscles in your body for a challenging full body, fat burning, metabolism boosting workout in just 15 minutes!

If you missed it - here’s a sample workout again…Give it a try and see what I mean!
(This was the spring break video I had posted last week)

Yes, these are workouts you can do right at home and in just 10 -15 minutes!

Equipment

You will need a couple dumbbells, a mat (or a soft place to do floor exercises), a stability ball, a medicine ball (no worries if you do not have one, you can use a DB as a sub) and something to step up on…whether it be a chair, a stairway or a workout bench if you have one handy - I do not - I just use the bench on my patio and it works great!

This is the type of workout equipment many of us already have – it’s just that we did not learn how to effectively use it, so instead these items have been stored away and are collecting dust – Not once you get your DVDs! If you are like me, they will be sitting out in the corner ready to be used at any time of your busy day!

What about Cardio?

I teach a more effective form of cardio called Intervals!
Results are a matter of intensity and your cardio workout is no different

Yes some DVD - along with their corresponding workout logs - have Intervals as an extra bonus – but if you would like more information on Intervals, please take a moment to see “All About Intervals – and here is an Intervals Video Sampler

What about a Nutrition Plan?

You will find many references on how to eat for fat loss in the various bonuses you are receiving in your DVD Package. I am working on a way to provide an UNANNOUNCED Nutrition Plan Bonus for everyone who takes action and grabs their DVD Package by Friday at Noon EST – since I am traveling, I will do my best to put something together for you – so be on the lookout with your FYM Newsletters!!!

Can I just buy single DVDs?

Single purchase DVDs are not available at this time – and sure at some point they will be, but I am unable to predict when or how soon – just have so many other projects on my list of to do’s – especially with the holidays coming up.

So, If a package option loaded with limited time bonuses is not for you and you really just want one DVD at a time, then you may want to consider joining ClubFYM as a Fit Club Member. Membership options are explained in full detail HERE>>> Fit Club Membership

Discount?

“Come on …you must be able to offer a discount!”

Absolutely – and if you look closely…..These DVD Packages ARE discounted!
Keep in mind, that these are DVDs that Fit Club Members have been investing in for $39.95 a month! So with the Basic Package you are saving over $20 …and with the Deluxe you are saving over $160!

This discount does not even include all the bonuses worth WELL over $150…and you get these for FREE.

If Price is an Issue….

No worries, I have you covered on that as well….under each package option you will see the “2 Pay”
You absolutely may break the cost of your DVD up into 2 payments!

1. Basic 2 Pay says…”Click here to pay in only 2 easy installments of only $57, spread 30 days apart.”

2. Deluxe 2 Pay says…. “Click here to pay in only 2 easy installments of only $107, spread 30 days apart.”

Still scoffing at the cost?
When was the last time you totaled up the number of DVDs , workout books, magazine, workout gadgets, diet plans and even diet pills? Sure adds up doesn’t it! Yet, somehow you found the money to be able to afford these items, items that only left you frustrated with a lack of energy, confidence or results.

AND….. I will just point out one final time that if you were to hire a personal trainer to design 6 to even 18 fat burning workouts for you – you are looking at investing anywhere from not to mention the additional cost of the gym membership where you must go to meet your trainer.

BTW: Even when I ran a special on my one on one training sessions back in the day – 6 sessions was $180 and 9 was no less than $270.

NOPE!

I am offering myself to you – to be your personal coach, to guide, motivate and hold you accountable from the comfort of your own living room …for less than 2-3 visits with a trainer.

So jump on over – grab your DVD Package – and be on the lookout for even more bonuses and specials once you take action to burn the baby fat and get your body back!

**********************************************************************

Hope this has been helpful to you!

Reminder, the Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVDs are only available until 3pm tomorrow, Friday Oct. 9th!

Head on over and make sure you do not miss out!

Are You Being Lied To?

FYM_KY_04.25.09 (19)ca

Yesterday I (along with my friend, Holly Rigsby) told you about the difference between trying to follow a workout and actually doing a workout as it’s designed – and how much impact that will have on your results.

Let’s talk for a minute about those workouts.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they need to workout for an hour or two a day, doing miles of long, slow cardio to reach their fat loss goals.

It’s a lie.

You’ve been lied to by health clubs, infomercials and expensive personal trainers – all telling you that you need to work out for hours on end to get the body you want.

You’ve been told too that you can spot reduce your trouble spots and you can use the ‘fat burning zone’ to lose your love handles.

Lies.

It’s no wonder so many moms just give up.  They don’t have time to sift through all the B.S. along with all of the other responsibilities on their plate.

The truth is…you only need about 90 minutes a *week* to get the body you want.

If you’re doing the right exercises in the right combinations, you can get great results in less than 15 minutes a day.

That’s why I want you to get Holly Rigsby’s Fit Yummy Mummy DVD Set available at
–> Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVDs

If you want to burn your baby fat and get your pre-baby body back in only 15 minutes a workout, it’s critical that you know how to do every exercise with the right technique, in the right combinations, with the right intensity.

Otherwise you’ll miss out on most of the results.

I love these DVDs because Holly teaches you exactly how to do each move and then guides you through each workout to ensure maximum fat burning effectiveness.

Basically, everything is already DONE-FOR-YOU!

You just follow along and watch those unwanted pounds melt away.

You can check out Holly’s Fit Yummy Mummy DVD Set here:

Hurry! Holly has included 6 Incredible Success Bonuses to jumpstart your success, but only if you order before Friday, October 9th at 3pm EST.

What Are You Doing With Your Workouts?

Did you know that having a professionally designed workout and following a fat loss nutrition system *still* doesn’t guarantee you’ll lose those unwanted pounds?

Frustrating but true.

I was just chatting with my friend and Moms Fat Loss Expert, Holly Rigsby and she’s discovered some interesting realities with her huge community of moms following her Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss System.

Here’s what Holly had to share:

“While thousands of moms have followed my Fit Yummy Mummy program and gotten great results, I’ve found that a LOT of women don’t receive the results their looking for because they fall short in three areas during their workouts:

  1. They don’t work out at the intensity necessary to make their body improve.
  2. They don’t follow the proper workout design and maintain the pace of the workouts that I or other fitness experts prescribe in their programs.
  3. They simply don’t understand how to do the exercises by simply looking at a picture in an e-book.

My revelation was this: many women *need* to have a follow along workout they can watch to achieve the results they want from their workouts.

Only by actually seeing how to do the exercises and follow the workout exactly as it was designed do these women get the results that they’re looking for.”

=========================
A plan is only good if it’s followed.
=========================

As you probably already know, the best diet, the most powerful workout…they’re only good if the person trying to follow them knows what they’re doing.

In other words, you can have the best workout in the world, but if you don’t know how to do the exercises properly, you’re not only going to miss out on results, but you might even get injured by using improper technique.

And it’s not your fault.

You’re trying to follow the plan…but you don’t know what you don’t know.

But if you’re willing to follow a plan and would like to know *exactly* how to do your workouts to get maximum results, you’re in luck!

Today I want to tell you about the best FAT LOSS DVDs I’ve ever seen. Holly Rigsby has just released her Fit Yummy Mummy DVD Set with her patented ‘Learn It’ and ‘Do It’ sections so you never have to wonder if your workouts are giving you the results you’re looking for ever again.

Each DVD has two of her best Fit Yummy Mummy Workouts, each complete with it’s own Learn It and Do It Section…plus if you  take advantage of her special offer she’s also throwing in ready to use workout logs to guarantee you get the results you’re looking for.

Click here for more information:
–> Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVDs

Today is the first day of a 72-hour special where Holly is offering a huge discount because these plans just went LIVE today. I highly recommend you pick up your Fit Yummy Mummy Workout DVDs if you’re ready to start losing those unwanted pounds and fit back into your skinny jeans!

Hurry! If you order Holly’s DVD’s before Friday, October 9th at 3pm EST, you’ll also get her entire Yummy Mummy Makeover Series and 5 other bonuses worth over $250.
