Lose Weight & Get Healthy with This 10 Day Fitness Kick Start from lanaholt on Vimeo.

10 Day Fitness Kick Start

Does this sound familiar? Have you said any of the below?

I don’t want to wear a bathing suit.
I don’t want to go shopping, I can’t find anything that fits.
I feel fat.
I hate my body.
I don’t have anything to wear, nothing fits.
I’m just going to starve myself.

I didn’t pull these comments out of the air. I’ve either said them or thought them at sometime in my life. It’s not easy getting fit, especially when you are not used to it. It takes brute force to change a habit. But, I want to help you with that. Join me and kick start your way to a healthier, happier life.

You can do anything for 10 days. My 10 Day Fitness Kick Start is a way to prove to yourself that you can do it. What have you got to lose?

Join me and kick start your way to achieving your fitness goals. I'm here to help keep you on track. What we usually lack when we try to achieve our fitness goals is accountability. We, also, don't give our nutrition the weight it deserves. 80% of our success at losing weight is diet and nutrition. In addition we are going to get in the mental game and get in touch with what our motivations are and strive to become better people in the process.

PLEASE READ THE BELOW CAREFULLY so you know what is required and what you need to do to be involved... Questions? Email me at coachlana@beachbodycoach.com

Our START DATE is Saturday September 24th. So, I must receive your Shakeology payment no later than Friday August 5th in order to make sure you get your supply in time.

During this 10 Day Intensive, you will:

1. Join my free website and enjoy all the fitness tools. www.coachlana.com. Click JOIN then FREE membership.

2. Workout for a minimum of 30 minutes a day

3. Keep a detailed food journal, noting how you feel at each meal. I highly recommend using www.myfitnesspal.com for your journal.

4. Replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology. I will send you a 10 day supply, which is 10 packets. Total cost = $60** (Or you can order a 30 day supply from my website for $130 www.shakelana.com)

5. Read some of a self improvement book each day. Options: read 10 pages a day or listen to 15 minutes a day minimum.

6. Email me the following checklist each night before you go to bed:
a. Food journal for the day (unless you are using www.myfitnesspal.com)
b. Did you workout for 30 minutes?
c. Did you read/listen?
d. Challenges/Accomplishments

I will only take 5 people for this 10 Day Fitness Intensive. So, if you want to join in, you need to email me asap at coachlana@beachbodycoach.com I have to receive your email no later than midnight Pacific Time, Friday, September 16th. In the email please include the following:

1. What are your fitness goals?
2. What is your primary workout going to be for the 10 days***?
3. What book are you committing to*?
4. Verify that you have joined my site at www.coachlana.com
5. What flavor/flavors of Shakeology do you want me to send you**? I recommend a mix of half Chocolate and half Greenberry for variety. If you are ordering only 10 packets, you can send your payment of $60 through paypal to holt.lana@gmail.com If you are ordering the 30 day supply, you can order it from www.shakelana.com (If you need help with this, send me your phone number and a good time to call).

I look forward to helping you reach your fitness goals! Now get going!

NOTES:

* Book List. Choose one of these:
The Magic of Thinking Big -- David Schwartz
Slight Edge Secret of a Successful Life --
The Compound Effect --
Eat the Frog -- Brian Tracy

** If you are ordering the 10 day supply of Shakeology, I'm pulling these from my individual packets that I have at home, so that is why you need to pay me via paypal vs. my website. In addition, there will be no returns on the packets that I sell. I cannot get refunded for the individual packets from Beachbody. If you order the 30 day supply bag, that is through my website www.shakelana.com so it's from Beachbody. That means that if you really don't like it, you can return it directly to them. The bag is the better deal because you are getting 30 days for approximately $130 with tax (you get free shipping if you order it on Home Direct or autoship). That is $4.30 each vs. $6.00 each from me. (Please feel free to email me with any questions coachlana@beachbodycoach.com)

*** I have few workouts that I’m clearing out of my inventory. So, it’s a good time to try one of them. Since they are on clearance, I won’t charge shipping within the US, but note all sales are final, no returns, refunds or exchanges. You need to contact me directly to order one. If you are paying by check, I need to receive prior to shipping. If you use paypal, I will ship as soon as I get the payment email. If you are local, we can meet to exchange product for payment. Here are your choices should you want one:

1    P90X – Extreme bootcamp - (I have 2 sets) Retail cost = $120, Clearance Total Cost = $100

2    Kathy Smith’s Project You – Type II Diabetes Workout Program – (I have 1 set) Retail cost = $100, Clearance Total Cost - $60

3    INSANITY – Extreme bootcamp – (I have 1 set) Retail cost = $120, Clearance Total Cost = $100

9    Slim in 6 – Classic cardio/sculpting workout – (I have 1 set) Retail cost = $60, Clearance Total Cost = $40

(Note: all bands and weights are not included in the programs. They are easily purchases at any sporting goods store.)

Adding Fiber to Your Diet for Health and Weightloss


Adding Fiber to Your Diet for Health and Weightloss from lanaholt on Vimeo.

We hear alot about adding fiber to our diet. But, why do I need it, how much do I need and how do I add it to my diet? I hope to touch on each of these questions.

Soluble fiber, found in beans, fruits, and more, aids in satiety (helping you feel full). Insoluble fiber, found in wheat bran, whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and other foods, helps keep your digestive system regular.

According to the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, the daily needs of men and women for fiber differ, and change as they age:

Age 50 and younger
Women: 25 grams
Men: 38 grams

Age 51 and older
Women: 21 grams
Men: 30 grams

Here are some low carb high fiber foods to add to your diet:

1. AVOCADO. One whole, medium avocado contains 17 grams of carbohydrate and 11 grams of fiber.

2. ARTICHOKE. A medium artichoke contains about 14 grams of carbs and 10 grams of fiber. Artichokes contain antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, potassium and magnesium. A medium artichoke also delivers 4 grams of protein.

3. RASPBERRIES. A cup contains 15 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fiber. High in vitamin C and several other nutrients, they are packed with antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties as well. The phytochemicals that make plant foods red, orange, or blue are potent disease fighters.

4. BLACKBERRIES. Like raspberries, blackberries are rich in health-giving pigments that give them their, deep blue-black coloring. They deliver the same amount of carbohydrate and fiber as raspberries, too. A cup contains 15 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fiber.

5. LENTILS. One half-cup of lentils contains about 10 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fiber. Lentils fall into the food category known as legumes, which are veggies that grow in pods. Legumes are great sources of protein and fiber, but also contain lots of health-giving compounds. One type is called saponins, which may help lower cholesterol and blood glucose levels and reduce disease risks.

6. BROCCOLI. One cup of broccoli contains just 9 grams of carbs and a nice 6 grams of fiber. Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, and these superfoods are known to have anti-cancer properties, among a host of other body benefits.

7. OATMEAL. A cup of cooked oatmeal contains 27 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fiber. Though 4 grams is not a huge amount, oat fiber contains beta-glucan, a special kind of soluble fiber known to help people feel full longer and improve cholesterol numbers. Use old-fashioned rolled oat or steel-cut oats for the best health bang for your buck. These are the least processed varieties and retain the most nutrients and fiber.

There are alot more ways to add fiber to your diet. Do your research, try new things and enjoy the feeling you get when you give your body what it needs.
