Les Mills Combat Transfomation - Joe E.

Love to see people change their life for the better 
and 
here is another example of someone who did just that!!

 I also feel this man's story is one that can and will 
inspire others to also become a healthier individual. 

How many of you have started an exercise program and on your first day you felt defeated because either you couldn't keep up or you didn't finish?  

I know I have! 
What matters the most though 
is that you don't let those emotions get the best you and you
do it again the next day!!  




Please take a moment to read Joe's Story and see how he too overcame his own obstacles.  He felt he was given second chance at life and to be better.  He did that for himself AND HIS FAMILY! Now that is inspiration!! 

"My life before Beachbody really wasn’t very healthy at all. Growing up, I mostly ate junk food and frozen dinners throughout my childhood. Yeah, I was that overweight kid. And because of that, I was bullied. A lot. That made me feel depressed and totally insecure. So my “go-to” comfort foods were cheeseburgers, candy bars and stuff like that. As you can imagine, that only made me fatter. So I got picked on even more.

This carried over to my adult years and caused some pretty severe emotional problems. Deep down inside, I really hated myself for letting myself get so out of control. No matter how much I tried to avoid the mirror, just seeing my reflection was a constant reminder of my failures. I was my own worst enemy.

But I had a good friend who was a Beachbody Coach. She was kind enough to introduce me to LES MILLS COMBAT and Shakeology—and to be honest, that saved me. But not right away. When I started COMBAT and Shakeology, I weighed 230 pounds. and had over 31% body fat!

Since committing myself to Beachbody and a life of clean eating and exercise, I have lost 52 pounds and 16% of my body fat. But when I first started COMBAT, I tried the first day and couldn’t finish. I could barely breathe and my ankles swelled immediately. But I stuck with it, and each day I got stronger and stronger. All the punching and backward kicks really challenged me. 























Dan and Rach had such a positive attitude. It was contagious. Just listening to them gave me energy. I never realized how much I could sweat in just 45 minutes. But I stayed at it and when I was finished, I needed a new challenge. So I tried FOCUS T-25! Wow, that’s my favorite workout—Speed 2.0 and Upper Body Focus are awesome.

And what can I say about Shakeology? It played such a key role in my weight loss. I have gained more energy and such a higher metabolism, I can’t imagine ever not drinking it. I mean, I can’t imagine ever going back to the way I was. My wife has joined me on my journey, starting with COMBAT and then FOCUS T-25 and now my whole family is eating clean and exercising together.

Our kids eat healthier foods now, as well, and my six-year-old will join me in my workouts, or even just watch and cheer me on.

I feel like I have been given a second chance to make the best of my life. So I’m making the most of it—as an athlete, a father, a clean eater, and as a Beachbody Coach so I can help others.


What can I say? Beachbody didn’t just change my life—it changed my family’s life, too!"

YOU CAN BE THE NEXT TRANSFORMATION!!

How awesome would it be to wake up one morning and feel the gratification of knowing you did it? 
 
I can supply the tools to help you get there - fitness program, Shakeology, support, motivation, accountability, meal planning, and more.
 
First though you have to make the commitment to yourself that you want to become a 
BETTER YOU!!

What's holding you back? 

Let's talk about it and see how you too can get started living a healthier & happier life!! Message me at alysonhorcher@gmail.com to learn how you can get started.




Change your MIND, Change your BODY -
 Healthy on the inside and outside!!

Now is the time to learn how to live a 
FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life 
and we will do it 
TOGETHER!!!!

21 Day Health and Fitness Challenge

Ready to end 2013 with a bang?  
I know I am and I am ready to help others do it too!! 


Do you look forward to the holiday food this time of year 
but dread what it will do to your waistline? 

Does your TO DO list for the next few weeks look like Santa's List 
and yet you have no idea where you will find the energy to get it all done? 

Have you been wanting to rock that hot holiday dress 
but are worried your muffin top will pop out? 



Get ready because come December 1st my last health and fitness challenge group of the  year will start and this time we are going hard and strong for only 21 days!! Yes, 21 days! Not my usual thing I  know!  I figured 21 days is just enough time to give you a taste of what you are capable of and see results.  At the same time though it is short enough that you do not have to make a huge commitment during the end of year holidays.  We will go from December 1-21st.  We will be done in time for you to rest and relax with your family at Christmas and through the New Year.  What you will be leaving the group with though is some tools to help you make better decisions going forward.  I do not expect you to do a complete 180 in these 21 days we are together.  My goal however is to help you learn how to incorporate exercise into your daily routine - 10 minutes at the least and learn how to choose foods that will better fuel your body.  This  year we want to keep those dreaded holiday pounds OFF and maybe even lose some more along the way. 



We will NOT be dieting, we will be discussing healthy eating and how to do it. A Crash course if you will of healthy eating with a special focus on Holiday Temptations!! You  know those cookies, cakes, large dinners, party after party, appetizer after appetizer, and OH don't forget the DRINKS!!  

Change the way you think about food and you will begin to change your life and your body!! How awesome would it be to start 2014 without saying I am going to START EATING HEALTHY AND EXERCISING?  The awesome part of it all is that normal  habits take about 21 days to form...now do you see why I chose a 21 day challenge? 

Okay GREAT, how do I get started?
You will need to CONTACT ME to hold your spot in the group.  I am doing this with other coaches and we expect the group to fill up fast so if you are even the slightest bit interested lets talk PRONTO!! 

What we will do first is create a FREE Membership for you which will also make me your official coach - YAY!!  After that we will discuss your options for exercise, your current eating habits, and your goals.  

Going forward what would be expected of you for this challenge is to BE PRESENT in our closed Facebook group. Check in at the very least once a day and let us know how you are doing OR check in with ME!! I know not everyone is comfortable telling others how they are feeling but you know you can  TRUST ME!! I am here for you no matter what and long after this 21 day challenge ends.  I am your COACH, I am your support system, I am your resource.  Take advantage of this opportunity!! 
What do you have to lose?  



The other requirements for the challenge  are to be working out to a Beachbody exercise program whehter it be 10 minute Trainer, Focus T25, P90x, Insanity, Turbofire, etc. Your Choice which program you do.  If you aren't sure, I can help you decide too!!

Next is you need commit to replacing one meal day with the nutrition shake called Shakeology. I include Shakeology as a requirement for a few reasons. The first and the biggest is that it is 1 meal of the day that you KNOW you are getting the VERY BEST nutrition that you can possibly find. When you are learning to eat better and make good choices it can be completely overwhelming. Shakeology allows you to have one less meal you have to think about!! Then, at the end of the group you can decide to continue or discontinue drinking your Shakeology. But I'm pretty sure you will love it! In fact, I guarantee it! If you aren't 100% satisfied I will personally help you return it even if the bag is empty for a full refund!



Another reason I include Shakeology is because during the holidays, sugar and sweets are everywhere. It is a known fact that the more sugar you eat the more you body craves it! Shakeology helps to reduce your cravings to sugar! I speak from experience, I once was a sugar addict!! Instead of reaching for cookies, cakes, donuts, or whatever your sweet temptation might be, I NOW grab my shakeology!! I can mix it with a variety of things such as almond milk, water, fruit, peanut butter, and so much more to create a healthy, low calorie yet totally satisfying treat without the guilt!! That feeling of guilt that overcomes you after you have indulged in something naughty is gone!!! I feel confident, healthy and I look lean! WHY? because I choose healthier options and Shakeology is one of my main tools in doing so!!


What will this group give you?

This group will give you the support and accountability to keep you on track during the busiest time of the year. It is only 21 days People...this is totally doable for the busiest person out there!! You will have all of the tools pretty much delivered right to you - I will be giving you meal plans, recipes, teach you what healthy snacks are. You will NOT be counting calories. You will be choosing foods based on their nutritional value. You will be eating 5-6 times a day! No starvation! So when you eat the cookies or the extra helping of ham, you don't have to feel guilty!

Remember you do not have to do this alone, not this time, not ever again. This is why my Health and Fitness groups are so successful. You have my support and my experience plus this time you have the added benefit of other successful coaches who are joining us along this journey as well. We are teaming up to provide you with the best experience possible for these 21 days and it is our mission to have 21 people joining us in this group.

There is power in numbers and this holiday season you are not alone and success is within reach!!

another bonus of this group is the November give and receive promotion offered by TeamBeachbody!! 
So here it is - Your Opportunity awaits you...don't let this year be like every other year where the holiday food and holiday hustle and bustle wins. YOU deserve to take time for yourself and treat your body and mind well. Give yourself a very special gift this year - the gift of HEALTH!! Contact me to take part in this 21 day health and fitness challenge. 


You get to choose your Dear Santa letter, 
this year make it about YOU!!








Now is the time to learn how to live a 
FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life 
and we will do it 
TOGETHER!!!!
