Challenge Group Misconceptions & the TRUTH!

Alright loves so out and about in the glass half empty world I have heard some rumblings of WHY people are afraid of Challenge groups!! I think there are some SERIOUS misconceptions so I am here to give you the down & dirty:

- It's a PRIVATE group, what you post in there NO ONE else in FB world can see. Seriously no ONE will know that you had a crap day except the other people in the group who are on this SAME journey as you! It's a judgement FREE zone!!!

- It's NO PRESSURE! If you don't get your workout in or you eat a chip NO ONE is going to come hunt you down and pummel your ass! Well unless you want me to, of course...then I will hop on the nearest plane because some of you lovelies don't live close enough for me to come pummel!! ;)

- You don't have to be outgoing and talkative....there are plenty of people who LOVE the group for the motivation, inspiration, recipe ideas etc, but never say a WORD. (like seriously NO WORDS GIVEN) However they LOVE all that they personally are getting from the groups regardless. Shy, Loud, Outgoing, Quiet....we LOVE you all! Obviously the more interaction in a group the better BUT no one is forcing you to talk.

- If you are in a group it does NOT mean you have to post about it on your PERSONAL FB page and post pictures of you working out etc. No one from outside the group even needs to know you are in a group if you don't want them to. Have NO FEAR, your assignment will NOT be to plaster your FB wall about all that you are doing...unless YOU want to. Then hell, do it up! ;)

- You do NOT have to be a FITNESS freak! If this is your first time really working out....KUDOS to you! That is AWESOME! Everyone has to take the first step to working out and this is yours! Reason 1,566,444, 268 I LOVE these workouts - for the MODIFIER!!! She's in there...use her!

- You do NOT have to work out for HOURS!! This program works for me because most of these workouts are 30 - 35 minutes and honestly for ME that's all the time I can spare. I get it, we are all very busy nowadays. We are moms, we work full time, part time, we are the personal chef of the house, the maid, the taxi driver, the grocery shopper...you name it, we WEAR the hat!  30 - 35 minutes for your mind, body and soul are completely worth it and you will be a BETTER everything for everyone especially yourself!

- You don't have to leave your home!! This is the other HUGE upside for me because I used to make up EVERY excuse in the book of why I couldn't drive my butt to the gym. No more of that...roll out of bed, go downstairs, push play! BOOM! Done! Little secret/tip - I SLEEP in my workout clothes because that's how EASY I want to make it for myself to NOT give one more excuse of why I can't work out! Best decision I ever made!

- You don't have time to be on FB all the time...well you are in LUCK! You only have to "check-in" once a day to get the benefits of the group! Sometimes there are little tidbits of recipes and tips posted thru out the day, but you get tagged so you can see them and then it's over. Take what you want out of the group!

What a challenge group does provide:

- Motivation
- Inspiration
- New Friendships
- Recipes
- Accountability
- Support
- Clean Eating Tips
- Meal Planning help
- A New FRESH ATTITUDE
- So much MORE!!!

I hope that answered some questions and cleared up any fears you may have had. It's never easy to make the decision to change but you are so worth it. Your health, your body, your mind...all of it! Take time and take a chance on YOU! 2016 is your YEAR! #theresstilltime #coachlife
