Your beach body is built NOW~!

Sun's Out, Guns Out! 



Silly as it sounds, it's a real thing.... the winter starts to melt away and so do the layers of clothes.
But wait...Your layers of hibernation fluff didn't melt with the snow? 
you don't have the "guns" you were hoping for?

Give me 1 month, some dedication and I'll show you how to get started on the results you want.

K.I.S.S (keep it stupid simple) routine:

1) Drink 1/2 your body weight in water every day....yep, that's 7 days a week!
Why:  flush your system, push out the junk and help your body work most efficiently!

2) Food Log - show it to someone to keep you accountable - trust me - just do it.
Why:  food logging is the #1 way to get people to pay attention to what they are putting in their body - it keeps you accountable, even if just to yourself.  It also helps you see trends, triggers, patterns in your food/feeling/performance that otherwise go unnoticed.

3) Add this Fat Burning - Muscle Building -  "Get Lean" product combo to your routine
Why is this combo so powerful?

    Herbal Cleanse Benefits and Results!

    ·        Feel like your body needs a Spring Cleaning as much as your closet?

    ·        Bound and determined to be get a start on your summer figure?

    ·        Made a New Year's Resolution to "get healthy" and haven't taken action yet?
     
    Here is why the AdvoCare Herbal Cleanse could be your solution! 

    https://www.advocare.com/01072881/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=W3172&id=search&flavor=N&size=
     
    The Herbal Cleanse of choice is from AdvoCare -  Some key benefits are:
    • it's only 10 days long  (anyone can commit to that!)
    • yes, you eat food during the cleanse
    • you can maintain your routine of work/workout/travel even while on this gentle cleanse
    Herbal Cleanses when done correctly can help improve your body’s overall health and wellness, and give your system the "re-boot" you're ready for!  

    1)  Feel Better  - Look Better

    Increases Energy

     Releasing the toxins from your body is rejuvenating because it refocuses the energy usually used for forcing waste through your intestines to other parts of your body. People often say they after a herbal cleanse they have more restful sleep and a boost in energy.

    Improves concentration

    Poor diet and ineffective vitamin absorption can cause you to become distracted and lose your concentration. The buildup of mucous and toxins in your colon can keep your body from getting what it needs to function, even if you eat a consistently healthy diet. Cleansing the colon with a herbal cleanse can be the difference between feeling alert and not being able to focus.

    Kick-starts weight loss

    Foods lacking in fiber move through the digestive tract at one-quarter the pace of high-fiber choices. This slow-moving food produces excess mucous that literally sticks to the intestinal walls, weighing the intestinal tract down with pounds of decaying fecal matter.

    Cleansing has the potential to aid weight loss; results vary but on average my clients loose 7lbs and 11 inches over the course of a month. The average human colon can hold up to eight meals' worth of food before digestion finally occurs. A gentle cleansing can result in significant weight loss and kick-start your metabolism, as well as refocus your attention on better food choices and whole-body wellness.

    2)  Get's your body working like a well oiled machine!

    Makes the digestive system more effective

    As the colon is cleansed, it pushes undigested waste through your system, clearing the way for good nutrient absorption. If waste remains in the body for too long, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and illness. A clean colon from a gentle cleanse allows undigested waste to pass easily through your system.

    Maintains regularity and prevents constipation

    Constipation — especially chronic — causes a sluggish digestive response, which in turn leaves waste in the system longer. This increases the likelihood that toxins will be released into the bloodstream.

    Increases the body's absorption of vitamins and nutrients

    A colon that has been cleansed allows only water, vitamins and nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream, rather than releasing toxins and bacteria through the colon walls. When the colon is cleansed, it clears the way for essential nutrients to filter into your body more easily.

    3) More indepth - Positive Side Effects #science

    Increases fertility

    Colon cleansing, as well as increased fiber intake and healthy food choices, improves regularity and helps keep your weight under control. Fat is estrogen-based, and if too much is present, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult. A colon that is weighed down by years of buildup can also press on the uterus and surrounding reproductive organs in women, causing strain.

    Colon cleansing rids the body of many chemicals and toxins that affect the egg and sperm. Many naturopaths recommend that both partners undergo colon cleansing before attempting pregnancy.

    Maintains pH balance in the bloodstream

    Foods that cause colon blockages are acid-forming — particularly high-protein diets without enough fiber. This leads to general malaise in the body.  Here are some reasons that it is important to maintain the body's pH balance.

    "I want arms like those"

    September 2013                                          April 2014

    Before (left):   Weight 141 lbs  - 18% body fat - Size 2/4  -with an almost 1 yr old
    After (right):  Weight 152 lbs  - 15% body fat  - Size 2/4 - with 18 month old
    In 6 months:  Added 11 total lbs, Added 14 lbs of muscle, Lost 3 lbs of fat,  same dress size




    I posted this pic a few weeks ago and have since had several inquiries about my food and supplement routine.  So here it is in a nutshell.

    I eat clean 95% of the time
    I don't eat gluten
    I eat very very little dairy (only if it's in a salad or sprinkled on something)
    I do eat corn chips (hello, I live in TX)
    I eat out about 1x a week
    I don't do "cheat meals" but do "treats" every now and then (not everytime they are in front of me!!)
    I don't eat massive amounts of veggies (laziness mainly) but do take a green drink supplement

    I use to follow strict Zone - which was awesome for me! Helped me with portion control and regulate my insulin - cut down on cravings and helped break the "binge" cycle.
    I transitioned into no gluten - no dairy over the past 7 years.  I still know my Zone blocks but don't weigh and measure. Over the years, I've found that my body works best on very little carbs, moderate protein, and lots and lots of fat.
    Everyone is different, the Zone helped me "play" with macronutrient combo's to determine what I need.  I typically eat 12-16 blocks of protein (7g per block), 6-10 blocks of carbs (9g per block), and 25-35 blocks of fat (1.5g per block). 

    I take supplements regularly!  We have a lot of FIT people in our community - but when I look at those who adamently take supplements ie: fish oil, branch chain amino acids, post workout shakes - you can hands down see a difference in his/her overall "glow", athletic performance,  and body composition.

    I swear by....

    Wellness:

    Probiotic
    Omegaplex
    Perfect foods
    Catalyst (bcaa)

    Pre-Workout:
    Muscle Strength
    Arginine Extreme
    O2 Gold (cardio/long met con days)

    Recovery:
    Rehydrate
    Muscle Gain
    Biocharge (bcaa and antioxidant)
    Nighttime Recovery

    My passion is to bring wellness - belief - and life improvement through nutrition and fitness to as many people as possible.
    Are you ready to lose weight ? Gain muscle?  Or Improve overall energy and fitness?

    I can help you - I look forward to hearing from you.

    Angie's Success: Improving endurance sports with CrossFit

    Angie "after"- Leaner and Faster thanks to CrossFit!

    Austin is an Endurance town - runners, cyclists, triathletes are EVERYWHERE! Every weekend people jump on Town Lake trail - ride loop 360 - or go for a swim in Deep Eddy. If you are on of these people (like I am) you may be wondering why you need CrossFit.
    I can't tell you how CrossFit Central's programs will help improve your performance but I can share with you numerous stories like the one below.
    Angie Balentine is a long time triathlete (and Jack and Adam's Bicycles employee) who started CrossFit Central's boot camp at Jack and Adam's in June, 2009. In just two months, Angie dropped an amazing 6.5 inches, lost around 2% body fat, and almost doubled her power output! She is leaner, stronger, and faster all because of her dedication to the boot camp workouts!
    ANGIE'S STORY:
    How did you feel about your fitness level before starting CrossFit boot camp? I felt fit but I felt like I "lacked luster" if that makes sense. Since having a child and taking on a full time job my time has been limited and thus training sometimes limited. So I felt fit to a point but as a result my confidence suffered.
    How do you feel about your fitness level now? Confident! I feel like the dynamic aspect of Crossfit Central was just what I needed to take my fitness to the next level without taking hours out of my weekly schedule and giving me a new found level of power across all the sports that I do (swim,bike run). The best thing about it was that I was doing weights in the gym, roughly 2 hours a week assuming I didn't cut stuff out (yes that did happen sometimes on my own) and I am still allotting the same amount of time towards strength training but I am getting so much more out of the time.
    Why did you join the class? Since I started competing in triathlon and running I have been plagued with injuries. Despite that, my strength routine would be the first to go if I got pressed for time...after all it was a supplement to the other sports plus I didn't like it all that much. So after many years of injuries I learned from a physical therapy center in Phoenix that the only way to keep me in sports is through strength training. I was getting bored with my gym routine and as a result the dynamic aspect was diminishing. As my weight routine was getting boring I noticed CrossFit Central at Rogue and it got me curious...once it came to Jack & Adam's it was a no brainer.
    What changes have you seen since joining CrossFit Central? '
    Training: my running form has improved significantly (Rogue Coach, Steve Sisson’s observation), hill running is easier, I am swimming less but it doesn't feel like it. The next swim workout feels like I picked up from the day before and I feel stronger with open water swimming. Same goes for the bike...with my marathon focus right now I am riding 1-2 per week...when I hop on my road bike I still feel like I have my cycling legs.
    Physical appearance: that has been the most fun as far as changes go. I have not lost any lbs so to speak but I have people asking me if I have and that I look fitter. The craziest thing is that I haven't lost weight but I feel leaner and more confident about my appearance. Another physical difference is my calves are almost 100% symmetrical...previously I had a calf difference of about 1 inch. I know it sounds weird to track that but that was an indicator that my running form was inefficient and that I was relying heavily on the left side which can ultimately lead to more injuries!
    What other aspects of your life has CrossFit affected? More confidence across the board.
