5 Important Steps toward that Perfect Beach Body

Getting the perfect beach body that you’ve always wanted takes work, but the payoff for that work will be well worth it. There’s more to getting your body ready for the beach than just doing a few basic exercises, and you’ll need to know how different muscle groups work together to tone your body and build the physique you ultimately desire. Here are five things to keep in mind while working toward your ideal body so you’ll be ready for the beach when the time comes.

  • Set Goals
    The key here is to set multiple achievable goals, not just an overall goal that will seem miles away once you start working toward it. Having an overall goal is important, but by creating smaller milestones you’ll actually have incremental steps to work toward that all feed into that larger goal. You can choose how you want to structure your goals, and whether you want to measure them in inches, pounds, or just the way you look in the mirror.
  • Adjust Your Diet
    It’s been said that you can’t out-exercise a bad diet, and you’ll probably need to make some changes to what you eat if you plan on being ready to show off your beach body. Cut back on carbs and fatty foods, up your leafy green intake, and start bringing your daily caloric intake down to create a calorie deficit which will help fuel weight loss. A nutritionist can help you to create a diet that’s right for you without the health risks associated with some fad-of-the-week diet plans.
  • Burn the Fat
    Cardio is king when it comes to fat-burning exercise. Running, swimming, biking, jump rope, aerobics… they’re all great ways to burn calories, which increases that calorie deficit and makes your body burn more fat. It may take a little while for you to notice some of the results because your body burns fat from all over (which means that you may notice your arms and legs becoming thinner before that stubborn belly fat seems to budge), but as you keep exercising, you’ll start seeing steady results.
  • Tone the Muscle
    While you’re doing cardio to burn fat, you should also add in strength training to build and tone your muscles. Lift weights or choose different strength-training exercises that focus on different major muscle groups, working on not only your arms but also your legs, abs, chest, and back. You should also keep in mind that muscle has weight too, so you might not lose weight as quickly because the weight of your muscle is replacing the weight of the fat you’ve burned off. You’ll certainly notice the difference in the mirror, though.

Keep At It!

It isn’t always easy to get in shape and sculpt the body you want for the beach. Breaking bad dietary habits can be hard, and sticking to an exercise routine containing both cardio and strength training can be even harder. This is why it’s important to force yourself to stick with it until it becomes habit, and to celebrate each and every milestone that you hit in a way that won’t hurt your goals. This will help you to keep motivated, and all of the hard work that you’re doing now will be totally worth it in the end.

Weight Lifting for Weight Loss

Usually, people who are interested in losing weight focus largely on cardio because it burns more calories than lifting weights. There’s something to be said for weight lifting for weight loss, though. While weight lifting shouldn’t be your sole form of exercise when trying to lose weight, strength training does play an important part in helping you reach your long-term weight loss goals. It also goes a long way toward toning your body and getting you in top shape once the pounds come off.

Lifting vs. Cardio

When you exercise as part of a weight loss plan, the goal is generally to burn calories and make your body burn stored fat to make up the difference between the calories it uses and the calories it brings in. Lifting weights doesn’t burn many calories compared to other forms of exercise, so those who are solely looking to lose weight often skimp on the strength training because other exercises produce faster results. To really get the most out of a weight loss plan, however, strength training should be added in every few days in addition to more calorie-intensive types of exercise.

Developing Lean Muscle

Lifting weights strengthens your body’s muscles, resulting in increased amounts of lean muscle in your arms, legs, abs, and other parts of the body. This can actually cause your weight loss to slow down a little as the lean muscle tissue is dense and adds weight to your body even as you’re taking it off by burning fat. This might prompt some people to wonder what’s going on, since they’re exercising more but losing less weight. They’re still losing fat, however, which is much more important than simply losing weight.

Boosting Your Metabolism

Once you start developing more lean muscle, the real benefit of weight lifting for weight loss starts to kick in. All of that new lean muscle tissue needs energy, and it gets that energy the same way that the rest of your tissues do: by burning calories. As you lift more weights and develop more lean muscle, your base metabolism will rise and your body will burn more calories throughout the day. This even applies when you’re at rest, because that energy-hungry lean muscle tissue will still need to be fed.

Toning Up

If you’re not lifting weights while trying to drop a few pounds, you may notice that your skin seems a bit looser and you generally look a little more out of shape than you did before you started losing weight. That’s because your body is burning the fat stored under your skin and you’re not building additional muscle to take up the slack. Lifting weights to work all of your major muscle groups will help with this, as the additional muscle bulk will provide you with additional toning and muscle definition once the fat starts melting away.

Long-Term Weight Loss

Strength training is an important part of long-term weight loss. Not only does it make you look and feel better, but it also gives you a much-needed break between cardio days. Between the boost you’ll receive to your metabolism and the self-confidence boost that you’ll receive from your new beach body physique, there’s no reason to not work weight lifting into your long-term weight loss goals.

Shakeology: Do NOT Pay Full Price!

Are you paying too much for your Shakeology? Are you missing out on the huge monthly discount that everyone else seems to know about? If you are paying more than $97.46 for a month supply, then you are.

What’s The Discount?
Shakeology is everywhere now days, and there is a good reason…It works.

Where else can you find a food that is CHEMICAL FREE and contains more than 70 natural ingredients derived from rich, nutrient-dense whole-food sources from around the world? Where else can you find a food that curbs your cravings for sugar and junk food, promotes weight loss, increases energy, improves digestion, and increases your immune system?

You can’t! If you’re here, you probably already know about the endless list of benefits. Heck, you are probably already a fan and can’t live without your daily dose of dense nutrition.

However, what you may not know is that you are probably paying too much for Shakeology through Amazon, ebay and a variety of other sources. This means you are missing out on a Shakeology Discount that others are receiving. The fact is, you can get a big Shakeology Discount and receive Shakeology straight from Beachbody to include their Bottom of the Bag Guarantee, for only $97.46 a month, and with only $2.00 shipping if you are on the Home Direct program (local taxes still apply).

That’s 25% less than anywhere else. Cheap, affordable Shakeology right to your door.

So What Do I Have To Do?
To get the Shakeology Discount, you simply need to become a Beachbody Coach.

WHAT? GASP? NO? I CAN’T BE A COACH! I’m just starting my journey! I don’t have time! I’m not a trainer! I’m not a nutritionist! I can’t give advice! I just wanted to try Shakeology!

Here’s the thing. NONE OF THAT MATTERS! If you want a Shakeology Discount, you can get one as a Coach AND that is it. You don’t have to do anything else. Our team has a bunch of “discount Coaches” that are simply Shakeology superfans and want to take advantage of the 25% discount. WHY NOT? For all of you coupon clippers and promo code hunters, this is a the equivalent Shakeology coupon code.

With a Coach account, you are billed at $15.95/month (see below) but that entitles you to a HEFTY 25% discount on ALL Beachbody products. Think of that…25% discount on P90X3, Focus T25, 21 Day Fix, TurboFire, Body Beast, ChaLEAN Extreme, Insanity and more. And, of course, this includes all of their nutritional products, equipment and Shakeology!

In addition to the $32.49 discount, you are saving approximately $14.00 in shipping too. Even when you throw the cost of the monthly Coach fee, you are still saving an estimated $30.45 per month on Shakeology alone.

Shakeology Coach Cost

Now that’s a pretty good discount, right?

That’s $30.54 of real money…money that stays in YOUR POCKET!

You have to start paying the $15.95 monthly Coach fee starting your second month (no fees for active duty military or their spouse). Take that Shakeology Discount over a whole year and that comes to $366.48 A YEAR! ($557.88 for active duty military).

I Can Just GET the Shakeology Discount?? No Strings Attached?
Yes! I became a Coach for this sole reason! I had been searching and trying different shake options for a long time. I was tired, drained and dragging and I needed an easy win for a meal. I learned I could get a discount as a Coach! DONE! AND…I could even send it all back after drinking the entire bag for a refund if I wasn’t satisfied! SIGN ME UP!

How do you become a Coach? You can signup for FREE with the purchase of a Challenge Pack (Shakeology plus a workout of your choice at a discounted price) OR there’s a one time $40 setup fee. Simply fill out the form on this page and select “I would like…to get the Shakeology Discount.”

While I started as a Coach simply for the discount, I ended up talking about how Shakeology dramatically accelerated my workout results to anybody that would listen. With Shakeology taking on the brunt of the nutrition side of the equation it helped make a huge impact in my life. So today, I encourage you to NOT pay full price for your Shakeology. You won’t be disappointed!
