Early Bird Gets the Sunrise

I am not naturally an early riser, but because of my personal training schedule, I have had to become one.

The perk? I get treated to beautiful sunrises like these!!

Wake up and make your dreams come true!! 💛

Self-Care is Part of My Job Description

I have NEVER had a job that promotes self-care the way coaching does.

We have 4 vital behaviors as a coach, and all of them include an element of self-care ... how cool is that?!

The first one is to be a product of the product, ie, workout, eat healthy, drink Shakeology ... basically take care of yourself physically.

The second is personal development. The company prescribes that coaches do AT LEAST 15 minutes of personal development daily. Sooo focus on YOUR mindset and personal growth.

The third is Connect, Attract, Invite which basically means form relationships with people and share with them the tools that have worked! Connection is one of the highest forms of self-care.

The fourth is Recognition/Reward of others progress AND of your own progress, aka Treat Yo'self!!

Today, I'm practicing a little extra self-care, with a much needed pedicure!

If self-care is important to you, and it should be, are you making it a priority in your life? Is the company you work for making it a priority for you??

If you want to make self-care part of your JOB DESCRIPTION, and something your get PAID to do, please contact me today at kasey,phillips@gmail.com so we can discuss the coaching opportunity and how it can work for YOU.

Choose Hope, Not Fear

It has been over 3 years since the last time I did kettlebell swings. .. yep THREE YEARS.

The first couple times I did them, I didn't like them, they didn't feel right, and I pretty much refused to do them going forward. I know now that I must have had some sort of form breakdown.

But for more than 3 years, I let my FEAR of doing it wrong and getting injured keep me from doing something I had a great interest in learning and excelling at.

I conquered another fear today by finally picking up that kettlebell again, and I will be practicing my kettlebell swings regularly now, under supervision of course! 😂😂😂

Let your choices be driven by your desires, not your demons!!

Beachbody: The Whole Enchilada

People ask me ALL THE TIME why I chose beachbody over any other company.

I could give you the simple answer and just says, it's the BEST, but that doesn't really explain WHY, and let's face it, the WHY of anything is the most important part ... just ask any 2 year old! ;)

In all seriousness though, I chose Beachbody for very specific reasons, and believe me, I did my research. I knew I wanted something that did more than give me and my clients a workout or a meal plan. I wanted more than a drink this shake, take this pill, use this wrap approach.

I wanted the WHOLE ENCHILADA, and that is what Beachbody provides.

Workouts: 100s to choose from, whatever fits your wants or needs 💪💪💪

Nutrition: portion controlled, not exclusion based ie, I can still drink wine and eat chocolate 

Supplements: health shake chalk full of vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, micronutrients etc. sourced from the best quality plants but designed as a SUPPLEMENT, not a replacement or cure all 🍃
🌱

Personal Development: one of the 3 VITAL behaviors of the company, books and seminars given as reward for goal achievement 📖

Support: a personal COACH for each individual who helps guide and support you in your journey 🎉🎉🎉

Accountability: challenge groups to keep people on track, with prizes and recognition for consistency and achievement ✔✔

What I wasn't counting on when I got into this business was the level of FRIENDSHIP I would find. I never even considered that in my metrics, but good Lord has it made a difference in my results and my overall HAPPINESS. 😊

If you are looking for ANY of these things, why not go for all of them and become part of my amazing ‪#‎fitfam‬ NOW.  Please contact me at kasey.phillips@gmail.com to discuss the coaching opportunity!

Oh, the Places I Go

Jamaica, the Bahamas, Nashville, multiple trips to Southern California, and by the end of the year, who knows where else I'll have been.

All of my travel this year ... flights, hotels, ubers/lyfts, incidentals ... have all been paid for by my "little" coaching business.

I get paid to workout, drink Shakeology, read personal development, share my results, and help other people start their health and fitness journeys. I then use that money to travel wherever my little 💙 desires.

If you made a couple extra hundred dollars a month, where would you travel??

I'm looking for business partners/travel buddies, so are you ready to get in on this??  If so, contact me TODAY as kasey,phillips@gmail.com to discuss the coaching opportunity and where you want it to take you!  :)

I Never Intended to Lose 100lbs

I never set out to lose 100lbs. That thought never crossed my mind until I reached about 85lbs lost and was like well, better make this an even number!! 😂😂😂

In all seriousness though, my only goals when I started my weightloss journey were to (1) get out of my house once a day, and (2) stop running my body into the ground.

My very first workout of this journey consisted of 20 minutes on the elliptical at a small, no frills gym. I thought I was going to die. Surprise, I SURVIVED!!

I made an APPOINTMENT so that I had to come back the next day. Yep, an appointment for a fitness test that I knew I would "flunk". I kept the appointment, and most definitely flunked the test.

I kept coming back. 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, an hours. It took weeks, probably more like MONTHS to workout to spending 45 minutes in the gym. But I took it ONE DAY AT A TIME.

You don't have to commit to a year of working out as your new years resolution. You don't have to commit to a 30 day challenge. ❌

Just commit to TODAY (or if you really must, tomorrow). Give yourself just 20 minutes on an elliptical, 20 minutes walking through a park, 20 minutes swimming.

Take the FIRST STEP, I guarantee it gets easier after that. :)

If you need help with that first step, I'm here, waiting to be your cheerleader!!  Please reach out to me TODAY at kasey.phillips@gmail.com and let me know how I can support you!!  

Battle Bruises

That dark spot on my collar bone is NOT a shadow or a sunburn ... it is a BATTLE BRUISE!! 

Yesterday, 2 of the other trainers invited me to do legs with them, and I NEVER turn down a leg day invite.

We were doing heavy front squats and if you know me, you probably know (1) I am fairly competitive and (2) I have incredibly strong legs. Soooo I totally pushed myself to keep up as we bumped the weight higher and higher and higher.

I might have over done it juuuuust a tad!! ;) Oooops!! Still didn't stop me from slaying 2 workouts today!!

PS: my legs totally kept up!! Hahaha

Coaching Gives Me Connection and Growth

If you have been following me for ANY length of time, it is probably VERY clear to you that I am a Beachbody coach ... I mean come on, do you live under a rock?!

What I realized though is that I don't share ENOUGH about WHY I coach. I mean I share the fitness stuff and the prizes and trips and yada yada yada but not the DEEP stuff. So if you aren't into the deep stuff, just stop reading now. Otherwise, proceed.

I have come to know (and 💙) all of these people in the photo below through a series of mind blowing personal development courses we have completed over the last 18ish months. With the exception of ONE person, no one in this photo is on my coaching team and yet I know ALL of them BECAUSE I coach ...

How does that work?!

Simple ... one of my coaching mentors/partners introduced me to Benchmark Courses‬. Without her, I probably never would have heard of these courses, let alone attend them. I doubt I ever would have met any of these people I LOVE so dearly and MISS so much!!

Coaching has given me greater opportunities to CONNECT with growth oriented, relationship driven, fun-loving individuals who share a common goal of improving the world we live in. How incredible is that?!

If you really want to connect with people like never before, if you want to surround yourself with the BEST people you possibly can, if you want to grow personally, please contact to TODAY at kasey,phillips@gmail.com so we can talk about YOUR personal development and the coaching opportunity!
