Why Should I Drink Shakeology?

As I sit here drinking my Shakeology it occurred to me that there are so many people out there that don't know about Shakeology. They don't know what an amazing nutrition source it is. They don't know how it can improve their lives. They don't know how important an investment is. And to me that is wrong.

So I'd just like to take a moment and shed a little light on why everyone should be drinking Shakeology. We all have problems, many the same, some different, but some of the issues that Shakeology can help with are almost universal.

Do any of the following apply to you?

-Lack energy

-Have cravings for junk food

-Tired

-Need to lose weight

-Struggle with regularity (you know what I'm talkin' about)

-Have digestive upset

-Always having to rush 

-Generally feel blah

If you ticked off even just ONE of those things chances are that Shakeology can make a BIG improvement in your life. I know that it has for me. I had already lost a significant amount of weight before drinking Shakeology. I was already exercising and improving my diet but Shakeology was the proverbial icing on the cake. It just made everything SO MUCH BETTER.

Now back to that list up top. All those things giving you trouble can be helped with Shakeology. Here are some stats to back that up. These are from a test group of 3,000 Shakeology drinkers.

93% feel HEALTHIER

86% report INCREASED ENERGY

81% feel it helped REDUCE CRAVINGS

72% LOST WEIGHT

74% found their MOOD IMPROVED

77% felt more ALERT and FOCUSED

91% say it helped the FEEL MORE REGULAR

These are REAL PEOPLE that have made their lives better by drinking Shakeology. So you may be wondering now well, how exactly does this actually work, why are people getting these amazing benefits from a shake. 

And here is a kicker. We are all busy people. That is why we get sucked in by drive throughs. Shakeology is QUICK! You can throw a package and water in your bag, grab your shaker cup and go. In the morning it takes literally less than 3 minutes to make, even if you are adding extra ingredients. Three minutes to a full nutrient dense meal. Can't even get through a drive through in that time. 

This isn't just a shake people. It is a super food nutritional shake. It is made up entirely of HEALTHY ingredients. And not just that, they are ingredients that are found around the world that are known to make you feel healthier. Things like chia, maca, ashwaganda, gogi berries, and the list goes on and on and on, to actually more than 70 super food ingredients. 

Seriously, if you are struggling with your weight, your health, your mood, your body, it is in your best interest to give Shakeology a try. There is a 30 day money back guarantee so even if for some strange bizarre reason that you are in that minuscule percent that don't like it, just return and get your money back. You are worth the try. YOU are worth the investment.

Avoid These Five Fitness Mistakes

So you’ve made the decision that you are finally going to shed some weight and get fit. But before you start off be sure you know these common fitness mistakes so that you can avoid making them.

It’s okay, we all make mistakes. That is why I am here. I am going to tell you what the top five common fitness mistakes are and how YOU can avoid them.

5. Lack of a Plan. For me this is very important. You wouldn’t go on a cross country drive without your GPS would you? So why is it people expect to go on a fitness and health journey without knowing some specifics. Look up fitness plans online, take them with you, refer to it constantly. Keep yourself on track.  This is where workout videos are actually a great option for a newbie. They tell you EXACTLY what to do.

4. Too Much Too Fast. Many people when they start are excited, which is great. BUT that excitement can lead to overload. Don’t try heading out to jog 5 miles the first time. Don’t sign up for a class every day. Don’t just hop into hot yoga. Don’t load up with big weights thinking that you are tough enough. It isn’t just about strengths, it is about smarts. Easing yourself in is incredibly important to avoid burnout, both mentally and physically. Start with three days at a time, even as little as 25 minutes. Then as you progress do more and more each week. 

3. Poor Form. A huge reason why many people fall off the wagon is that they hurt themselves. Often this is due to poor form which can leads to strains, sprains, and even worse, breaks. There are guides on workout videos for a reason, to help you correct your form to avoid injury. If you are hitting the gym, get some help from the staff on your form. There are also plenty of youtube tutorials out there just waiting to show you the way. Avoiding injury is critical and that starts with proper form.

2. Only Cardio. Women seem to be particularly bad for making this mistake. They go and spend an hour on the treadmill or other cardio machine, or they just set out to jog. I’m sorry but that is not going to help you reach your goals. You may lose weight, and yes you are burning calories, but you will remain soft. You won’t get any tone. This also means you aren’t going to see the results you want and may end up leading you to quit your efforts. Add regular strength training and in no time you will see your goals within sight.

1. Improper Nutrition. When I ask many of my challengers about their biggest struggle they tell me it is exercise. Nine times out of ten though that is what should be the least of their worries. You can not out exercise a bad diet, and you'd be surprised how easily you can out eat your workout. If you are serious about getting fit you have to be serious about your diet. Up to 80% of your weight loss and results depends on nutrition. Start eating clean, avoid the inside aisles at the grocery store, fill up on whole foods, drink lots of water.

If you are guilty of making any of these common fitness mistakes don’t worry. Now you know better. Find a plan that will work for you and commit. Take things easy, gradually increasing intensity and frequency. Do research on how to do things right. Balance out your efforts between cardio AND resistance training. And most importantly FUEL YOUR BODY RIGHT!
