Fearless Body 45: Week 3, Day 1 (and a confession)

Here's my update (and a confession).




In spite of my half-assed-ness in this program (which is stopping this week and I'm determined to do this every day now)...

I've actually been seeing results! My stomach is smaller and you see that shirt I'm wearing in the video? Yeah. That blue one? It didn't fit me three weeks ago when I first started! I know, right?

Just imagine what will happen a couple more weeks from now?

Your feedback and comments are what's keeping me going, so please leave your comments here.

Fearless Body 45: Taking the weekend off (here's why)

I had to take a break because I was headed for illness if I didn't do something fast.

See, I've been explaining that this program has been kicking my butt. But instead of recovering, I was starting to feel ill. I realized my body was actually detoxing from the exercises.

This is really a GREAT benefit to the program that I wasn't expecting; however, my immune system just wasn't up for the task. So I'm taking a couple days off to take lots of vitamins, rest, drink plenty of water and encourage my body to flush out the toxins without making me get sick.

In the meantime, I did a little research that I think can help anyone doing an exercise program like this. So listen up...

How Exercise Helps With DetoxCardiovascular exercises help by increasing your body temperature over a sustained period, thus making you sweat out toxins. Also, they help your heart stay healthy. Core muscle exercises help massage and stimulate your internal organs. Most forms of exercise increase your breathing, thus providing a form of oxygen therapy.

The body is engineered to heal itself to get rid of toxins and to keep the body running as efficiently as possible. With exercise you clean all of your internal organs at the same time. 

Exercise accelerates the detoxification process. As you exercise, the blood circulates throughout the body, bringing nutrients to all the organs and muscles. Exercise also helps lymph fluids circulate the body, which removes toxins and other harmful materials.

Tips To Detox Without Wiping Out

• Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods.
  
• Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins.
  
• Drink at least 2 quarts of water daily.
  
• Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system.
  
• Transform stress by emphasizing positive emotions. It's a good idea to detox stressful life situations along with detoxifying your body.

Don't fret, friends...I'll be back on the program again first thing on Monday. See you then!


Caveat: Never do any kind of detox or exercise program without first talking to your doctor.

Fearless Body 45: Day 3 (Am I crazy?)

This thing is totally kicking my out-of-shape butt!

Wanna know why I'm doing this? Here ya go!

Affiliate Summit East 2010: New York City

You may or may not know that I'm the JV & Promo Manager for Keith Wellman's Everyday Wealth. I LOVE what I do. And I get to go to some amazing events and meet some awesome people.

I'm the kind of gal who likes to stay on the sidelines and I'm pretty shy. So what's Fearless about this, is that I've been able to come out of my shell and learn how to network and establish relationships with people who were perfect strangers to me a few months ago. It was REALLY hard at first, but now it's super easy (and fun)!

Here's a little slide show of my most recent trip to NYC (compliments of Mike Filsaime's JV Manager, Joe Jablonski)...
