I was overweight and insecure for many years. As a young child I was embarrassed of my weight and the constant name calling and "labeling" made it worse. I endured many struggles and difficulties including a broken home, sexual, physical, emotional and psychological abuse and a divorce of my own. I used these traumatic circumstances and challenges to search and find the fighter and champion within me. I dedicated large amounts of time researching, learning and putting things to the test. I made so many mistakes along the way. I tried different diets and exercise programs, some did not work and some "did" but were not healthy nor sustainable. I reached rock bottom when I realized how these wrong approaches were negatively affecting me physically as well as mentally and emotionally and my daughters were witnessing it. I got serious and decided to study holistic living, fell in love with it and soon started helping others. For some time I was helping them reach their fitness and health goals without any compensation. I decided to get certified and eventually I found myself in gyms, fitness centers and studios, training, mentoring, coaching and instructing.
I am grateful for the opportunity to help you avoid all the mistakes I made. I would like you to start or restart the journey of weight loss and/or toning up or getting a flat abdomen and good health, the attainable, permanent and satisfying way. I am excited you are going to transform your life! I can't wait to get you started! Are you ready? Let's do this!
Believing in you,
your trainer, instructor and coach

In this challenge you will have access to 14 days of non repeated workout routines, some of these routines are done lying down and some on your feet or knees. Each workout has a clip and a description to help you execute each exercise correctly. I have also included modifications to certain exercises that could be harder or even unsafe to do if you have certain limitations. Please read the instructions thoroughly before you do each exercise.
A nutrition guide is included that will help you get on track with proper nourishment depending on you body type, portion sizing, calorie intake, vegetarian and vegan alternatives, recipe ideas and more.
I also created and included the Four Pillars of a Successful Fitness Goal that I've used in my practice to help clients reach a sustainable fitness/health goal.
DAILY AB/CORE WORKOUT ROUTINES
FOR ALL LEVELS
I prepared a different ab/core workout routine for each training day. I strategically combined them to activate, confuse and rest muscle groups effectively and periodically. Muscle activation/reactivation, confusion and rest are key for maximum results. Muscles are responsible for burning massive amounts of calories not only for the duration of the training but for up to 72 hours after you have completed it. This is important so you can start seeing definition as you lose some weight and tone up. You can utilize 12-36 ounce water bottles or small 1-5 pound weights.
DAILY NOURISHMENT/ NUTRITION GUIDE
In this guide you will find all my top tips and guidelines (backed up by science) on how to improve your daily nutrition as part of a long-term healthy lifestyle change. Nourishing your body in a balance way will give you more energy and focus, plus help you keep in shape and feel great about yourself. I have even included meal ideas and new food suggestions so you can get creative and add your own twist in the kitchen and make what’s best for you with joy!
DAILY MINDSETING
AND REGENERATION IN SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY
In the Four Pillars of a Successful Fitness Goal booklet I explain the importance they have in our fitness/health goals. How good and practical we think, feel, make choices and act upon those choices highly depend on how well we know how to regenerate daily in each and every one of these areas. I also encourage you to take some time to set your mind and keep it set. I have included questions that are going to help you go deeper into your why. Knowing your why is critical.
