All the feels

Monday check in! 

Heart center ✔️. 

Mindset ✔️. 

Scanning everything from your crown to the tips of your toes. 

We will get through this.  I think for the first time many of us are feeling the same thing. 

Uncertainty.  Bringing up a lot of what ifs. Bringing up a lot of questions, concern, fear, time and also clarity. 

A shift is happening. 

When we come out on the other side of this we have a choice to make.  We can all be healthier, focused, READY, more determined, more compassionate than ever.

The most eager we’ve ever been to experience new heights and live a full unapologetic life. Free of judgment, fear. Adaptable to change. Having a new depth of gratitude and understanding was the vision all along.  Many of us were already on the same wave length when we said 2020 would be the year of clarity. 

Perfect vision.  Right?!  

And since things seem very blurry for many of us right now. Maybe that’s how we’ll truly see and SHIFT our focus to what truly matters. 

Many of us probably wouldn’t have shifted  or made necessary changes if we had not been forced to. So here it is. We’ve been presented an opportunity, more idle time, to stop and switch some things up in order to see more clearly. In order to come out of this better, agile and more flexible than ever before. 

What better version of yourself are you looking forward to becoming? How are you positioning yourself to use this time to recreate, to shift, to focus, to rest and be restored when this is all over, cause a new beginning once we come out of this will be required of many of us.  

If we come out of this exactly the same we’ve missed the mark.

T is for Transformation - A Glimpse into ShaunT’s new Workout Program
Snapseed 2.jpg

We’ve got work to do! If you’re looking for a cute workout. You’ve come to the wrong page! 

Looking for something simple to get a little sweat in and not looking for a mental and physical transformation, than keep on scrolling. 

To be honest this workout has kicked my (dang I can’t curse) every single day for the passed 5+ weeks. 

Its November and that means I can totally spill the beans about being in an Exclusive Pilot Test Group and the details of what you want to know about this cardio step beast of a workout program. 

3 chapters of this workout 

  1. Commit 

  2. Climb 

  3. Conquer 

Its 6 days a week of cardio, endurance, fat burning, high intensity awesomeness. Monday thru Saturday. On Mondays you start of with BURN, by ridding yourself of maybe mistakes you’ve made during the weekend. Then by Tuesday you begin going FASTER, gaining momentum. Mid week you level up by getting STRONGER, you’ve now made it more than 1/2 way through the week so you are definitely becoming more POWERFUL, than you shred or CUT so you can find BALANCE(D). By the end of the week, we go into a recalibrating mode, not only to do it all over again because ALL THE WORKOUTS are different but to increase your progress. Its YOU vs YOU.

It’s GENIUS. Like mad scientist GENIUS. I’ve never done a program EVER like this before.

I’m in my head the entire time in a good way! You have to focus and constantly take your thoughts into the next level of determination. I never once said I can’t wait for this to be over. I’ll be the first to admit sometimes when it gets too hard first thought is to want to quit. In this you want to give it your all. And than it’s done. It’s only 20 mins. 

Everyday it’s excitement all over again to crush your goals. It doesn’t stop there. Each day there are three moves called TRANSFORMERS and each week you have to beat or increase your numbers from the previous week. First week not gonna lie didn’t even see it coming! But you better believe you want to bring your best you each time because you learn right away this is no walk in the park. 

Nutrition plan the most simplest one ever! Easy to follow. Simple recipes. And you’re given options so you can follow 2B Mindset while doing this program which is great because it gives you a sense of flexibility using the nutritional guide. 

My Honest Experience thus far (weeks 1-5) 

So Day 1 I was pumped, excited, happy, nervous, I’m in this secret exclusive pilot test, it’s so amazing and than I bombed the workout. Didn’t love it well because it was like with no warning the gun goes off and than the race is over...had to get use to that. 

I felt like I got caught with my pants down like all while I’m being told to keep up like whaaaa? But each day is brand new! Thats the magic and the following week you get a chance to push through a little harder, go a bit faster, find more balance and get stronger all while going through the motions.

Let’s talk about what it means to Commit, to Climb and to Conquer below.

FIRST 2 WEEKS WE COMMIT.

Ask yourself, “How bad do you want this?”

WEEKS 3-4 WE CLIMB.

This is where you’re going to have to take it up a notch. Now you’re already committed to yourself, you’re going to find the power within to climb whatever hurdle you’re found yourself in before. No more, cause we’re climbing!

WEEKS 5-6 WE CONQUER.

Get to a level where you’ve committed, you have now already climbed, now you conquer. You conquer your mind, your goals whether its on and off the scale. You learn you are more than capable to conquer anything in 20minutes.

Are you EXCITED yet? Cause this is going to change your life on so many levels.

Choosing Growth over Comfort

I have traveled through madness to find me. What woman can’t relate to this statement?

This speaks to who the very fiber of my being. Before I really honed in on my health and wellness, way before I joined an amazing team of individuals who empower, uplift and inspire. Before I knew I needed that in my life and would be able to return the favor and pay it forward. I lived a life full of skepticism, full of reservations. I wasn’t totally open. I was spread so thin and just in a search of something MORE....and didn’t even know it. 

When I went to my first coaching event, I sat there unaware of what I was going into I was just there for the workout really LOL cause then I thought in shape had everything to do with just working out and getting a good sweat in. But as I sat there and I listened to testimony after testimony, hardships and heartbreaks to break throughs... Stories of physical abuse, postpartum depression, self-doubt and negative thoughts. I thought to myself Cat don’t cry…don’t cry Cat…you came here to workout. But sometimes you find yourself somewhere at the right time unbeknownst to you. Sometimes you find yourself at wits end ready to throw all the towels in and then something mysteriously snatches you out and wakes you up. That’s grace. 

When you find yourself in a bad spot find someone in a worst spot and encourage them. Becoming a coach and going to that first event was the light at the end of the tunnel that I needed. I couldn’t show up for anything. Not me. Not my husband. Not my family. 

So I sat there and listened to those stories and I broke down. I broke down because I wasn’t living the life I wanted. I knew I wasn’t but it was just easier to stay comfortable even if it was causing me pain. 

From that day forward 4/24/15 in NJ at Beachbody Super Saturday, which a quarterly event where coaches and fitness enthusiasts come together and share space, share success stories and ideas and of course get a group workout in. I made another decision that day to get my life back! To re-write the story that I would be proud of and believe in ME again.  It all started with ME! I’ve gained life long friendships and built admiration and appreciation of women & men who have just made the decision to press play not only to start on their workouts but also press play in real life. Choosing to go hard for better health, for financial freedom, for self love ect.

They push me, they root me on, and when I’m like I don’t know if I’m cut out for this I’m reminded just why I started. 

POWER UP REMINDER: Ride with people who get it! They get what it takes to live your life by your own design. Those are the people you vibrate higher with!!! 

Becoming a coach was one of the easiest decisions to make but what makes it seem so difficult is the new effort, the new self-love and the breakthroughs that will happen throughout the journey that you may think you’re not strong enough for or not ready for. This was MY GAME CHANGER! This is the real transformation post. You don't know this Cat! Trust me!!! I’m so grateful for my team and extended family for constantly making me stand on my tippy toes. Sometimes I think back and remember how dark some of these places and situations were that I was in emotionally, mentally, spiritually. But all I saw was physically.

You may find yourself just needing a change or a total makeover or just wondering what it even means to be a coach and how it can change your life from bad to better or from good to great. Why not?! Why NOT YOU?!
