Mommy Makeover Training

A new Great Shape Fit Club program just for moms who want to put the hot back in "hot mama".

Taking only 20 moms on a 28-day Mommy Makeover journey that will be life changing. Contact me to be considered for this limited time opportunity.

That's me up there- owner and head coach of Great Shape Fit Club. I gained 56 pregnancy pounds when I had my son so I know first hand what it is like to not recognize your own body in the mirror while being both overwhelmed with joy by the new life you just created and overwhelmed by all the new responsibility of caring for a child. I also know that you can reclaim your body, actually build an even better body, and change the term "Mommy Body" into a badge of honor rather than a term that describes the loss of firmness, curve, and appeal. Join Mommy Makeover Training to create your "New Mommy Body".

Adriana Muzquiz, mom of one toddler, came to Fit Club wanting to get fit and strong. Her one aesthetic goal was to get rid of the "mommy belly" and reclaim her waistline. With just four weeks of training and following our nutrition plan she was well on her way to hitting her goal.

This could be you when you join our Mommy Makeover Training.

Email or call me today to be considered. 214-257-0146. greatshapefitclub@gmail.com

Jaime Fechter, mom of three (including twin girls), started training with the goal of wearing a size 8 jeans. I gave her a goal deadline of 8 months and although she didn't believe my time frame was realistic, she got started anyway. Jaime bought her size 8 jeans TWO MONTHS EARLY and has an enviable set of abs to show for her hard work. The pictures above are just six weeks progress photos from one point during her transformation journey. Are you still waiting? You should already be contacting me to be considered for Mommy Makeover Training?

Email or call me today to be considered. 214-257-0146. greatshapefitclub@gmail.com

Julie Egan, busy mom of SIX, came to Fit Club to tighten her belly and slim down her thighs (common mommy goal). She was already active and running multiple times per week but knew her current regimen and diet were not giving her the results she wanted. She included our group training resistance and conditioning workouts to her weekly regimen and on my recommendation began to follow the Fit Club Rapid Fat Loss Sugar Detox protocols to break her dependency on sugar and processed carbs. After just six weeks of focused work, Julie created the dramatic difference that you see in the pictures above.

By now you know that I can relate to your struggle and know how to help you have a successful Mommy Makeover. The only question now is are you ready to change? If so, contact me today for consideration to participate in our upcoming Mommy Makeover Training.

Email or call me today to be considered. 214-257-0146. greatshapefitclub@gmail.com

We are waiting to hear from YOU!

How to Fit Foam Rolling in Your Life

2012-01-09T09:24:00.003-06:00

5 Easy Ways to Sneak in Foam Rolling & Stretching

Foam rolling and stretching have numerous benefits yet so many people struggle to fit them into their daily schedules. Here are 5 optimal times of day to take a foam rolling break. I bet you have many of these opportunities happen every day.

Opportunity #1: While watching TV or reading.

Leave a foam roller or tennis ball in the room where you most often watch TV or read. Do foam rolling exercises for 5-10 minutes during your favorite show. If you are a reader, get book clips to keep the book open to your page and do the face down foam rolling exercises while you read.

Opportunity #2: While cooking.

Instead of snacking or sipping on food and beverages that don’t support your body transformation goal while you cook, foam roll or stretch. You can foam roll while your meat is cooking on the indoor grill, your rice is in the rice cooker or your yams are in the oven. If you are waiting for a pot of water to boil or for your coffee to brew, do some standing stretches instead.

Opportunity #3: When a craving for unsupportive food hits.

When you are craving that sugary or fatty item so badly that you want to cry, grab your foam roller, move to a room far from the kitchen, and put in 10-15 minutes of foam rolling. By the time you are done, you will feel more limber and relaxed and your craving will be gone.

Opportunity #4: When you are stressed or upset.

When stressful things happen, take a foam rolling break. You will give yourself time to calm down before you eat, say or do something you would regret later.

Opportunity #5: While waiting on the phone.

When you find yourself “holding for the next available representative”, grab your foam roller and get to work. You will be much less irritated while holding and much less likely to snack on extra food while you wait as your hands and body will be busy.

If you are doing high intensity boot camp style workouts 2-3 times per week, you should look for these opportunities 1-2 times each day to accumulate 5-10 minutes of foam rolling daily. If you are training 4-5 times per week, you want to accumulate 10-15 minutes of foam rolling daily. If you are training six time per week, you want to accumulate 15-20 minutes of foam rolling daily.

Now that you are armed with these top five foam rolling and stretching opportunities, be prepared. Make sure you have a foam roller and a few tennis balls in your house as well as a tennis ball at your desk. The next time one of these opportunities arises, take advantage. Now there are no more excuses to miss your daily foam rolling and stretching. Which opportunity is your favorite? Did I miss any? When is your favorite time to get in your foam rolling and stretching?

Workout Nutrition - A Quick Review

2012-01-05T11:59:00.005-06:00

If you are confused about what to eat and when to eat to maximize your workout performance without compromising your goal of improving your body composition (getting tight and lean), take a glance at our workout nutrition review and then apply these principles to your meal plan on workout days.

Pre-Workout Nutrition

Goal: To fuel your body for exercise and promote optimal performance by providing a steady stream of energy to your muscles and mind.

Timing: Eat within an hour before your workout. If your meal feels heavy in your stomach during the workout, consider a liquid nutrition option (protein shake or yogurt), reduction in the amount of fat in your pre-workout meal, or an increase in the time between your meal and the start of your workout.

Nutrients Needed:

Protein for muscle support and slow released energy.

Medium Digestion Carbohydrates for both immediate and sustained energy.

Fat (optional small amount) for sustained energy for longer workouts.

Simple Solutions:

Concita's Pre-Workout Pudding

1/2 cup fat-free, plain Greek yogurt

1 scoop Prograde Vanilla Protein

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

Cinnamon & Nutmeg to taste

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy.

Yogurt Parfait

1 cup fat-free, plain Greek yogurt

1 cup mixed berries

1T crushed nuts

Alternate layers of yogurt, berries, and nuts in a glass or container and enjoy.

Post-Workout Nutrition

Goal: To replace lost glycogen (stored sugar) burned from the high intensity workout and speed and enhance recovery.

Timing: You can begin to consume your post-workout meal as early as during your workout (for protein shakes) to as late as 45 minutes post-workout. If you feel that you are experiencing a decrease in energy during your workout, consider sipping on your recovery shake during the workout.

Nutrients Needed:

Protein (half portion) to support muscle repair.

Fast Digesting Carbohydrates (full portion) to replace lost muscle glycogen and enhance recovery.

Fat intake at this time should be as little as possible to prevent slowing down the digestion of the protein and fast digesting carbohydrates.

Simple Solutions:

Prograde Workout Drink

Simply add water or almond milk, mix and enjoy.

Post Workout Dreamsicle

2T Orange Gatorade Drink Mix (regular version- not low sugar)

1 scoop Prograde Vanilla Protein

1 cup Almond Milk

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy! Add ice and blend for a colder, frothy version of the drink.

How to Succeed at Living the Fitness Lifestyle

2012-01-05T11:33:00.006-06:00

How to Succeed at Living the Fitness Lifestyle - Preventing Lifestyle Abandonment

How many times have you heard or even said, "The only way to succeed at transforming my body is to make it a lifestyle." Deep down inside, we all know that the quick fixes either won't work or will backfire just as quickly as they seemed to fix our problem. We know that we need to make lifestyle changes but many of us are stuck in a frustrating cycle of beginning, stopping, and beginning again when it comes to actually living the Fitness Lifestyle. Yet some of us succeed at living the Fitness Lifestyle...for life. Are some of us bound to stay out of shape and unhappy with our perceived inability to follow through? Are some of us just "the lucky ones" who have some advantage that makes the lifestyle more natural or somehow easier for us to live? The answer to both of these questions is NO.

Living the Fitness Lifestyle is simply a process of developing and refining effective responses to those emotions or situations that threaten our continuance on our lifelong fitness journey. Anyone who is willing to change how they view themselves and the process of developing effective responses can succeed at living the Fitness Lifestyle. So dedicate yourself to monitoring and refining your responses and watch how quickly you become one of the "lucky ones" who is happily living the Fitness Lifestyle and inspiring those around you to do the same.

“Your success at living the Fitness Lifestyle (which of course will lead to body transformation) is solely dependent on your continued acquisition and refinement of effective responses rather than your willpower, existing advantages or disadvantages, or resources.”

How does the above statement free you from guilt, worry or frustration?

How does the above statement call you to a place of personal responsibility?

Boot Camp Transformation - Mother of Six Banishes Her Muffin Top in Six Weeks

2011-12-02T14:09:00.006-06:00

Mother of Six Lose 1/2 Inch Off Her Belly Every Week with Boot Camp Challenge

Time to be inspired. Check out this amazing SIX WEEK BOOT CAMP TRANSFORMATION.

Julie Egan, mother of 6, loses over 3 inches off her belly measurement in just six short weeks with the Great Shape Fit Club Challenge and shares with you below just how she did it. BE INSPIRED!

Julie's Interview

What brought you to boot camp? What was your main motivation for joining?

I found Concita's boot camp through an online Groupon deal. I had been wanting to start exercising for several months (since my 40th birthday) and the Groupon seemed like a good way to get started.

What did you expect from boot camp when you joined?

I expected to get a good workout two days a week, but was so happy with how GREAT of a workout it was. I had no idea I would also receive nutrition counseling.

How did you feel after your first workout?

I could definitely tell that I'd had a workout! My muscles hurt, but the hurt let me know that I was working parts of my body that hadn't worked out for a long time!

What kind of nutrition recommendations and help did you receive?

I loved the one-on-one coaching call with Concita. She was able to look at my food diary and give me specific guidelines tailored just for me and my lifestyle and goals. She outlined a very specific eating plan and gave me the encouragement I needed to stick with it.

What was the nutrition program like? How did you eat?

The first two weeks of my specific nutrition plan were very strict... only green vegetables and proteins. After that I was able to slowly add in other vegetables and gradually add back in fruits and some healthy grains. I have found that I don't miss my carb-heavy eating that I previously had and crave the fresh produce.

What was the most challenging part of the program?

Changing my diet was definitely the most challenging part of the program. I NEVER thought I could make such drastic changes and stick with it.

What kind of support system did you have?

Concita was great to check in with me about my progress, both at class and through emails and phone calls. She was very honest about how hard it would be to make changes, but also very encouraging that I could do it!

What is a typical day like for you?

I am a stay-at-home mom of six kids, ages 5 - 17. The kids are all in school and my days are spent keeping up with the dynamics of running a busy household.

What tips could you give someone about making time for fitness?

Concita let me know that getting out of shape is easy and getting in shape is hard. She was honest with me that I would need to put in some hard work to get my body where I want it. You need to have a set routine for exercise and eating - when things are planned out they are so much easier to stick to. Find a time that works into your schedule - even if it means getting up at 5:00 a.m.

What changes in habits are you most proud of?

I am most proud of my new eating lifestyle and how "clean" my body feels now that I'm eating so healthy. The healthy eating combined with exercise has helped see some great results already.

What were your results like?

The boot camp workouts, combined with healthy eating and cardio workouts helped me lose 15 pounds and three inches off my waistline in less than 2 months! I've already dropped a jean size and can wear shirts that are more form-fitting now that I don't have my "muffin-top" anymore!

What aesthetic change are you most proud of?

My new waistline! Can't wait to see how much more I can lose!!

How to Fit In Your Workouts During the Holiday

2011-11-14T10:08:00.002-06:00

How to Fit in Workouts During the Holiday Season

You can stick to your action plan to transform your body, mind, and life even during the busiest time of the year. After all, if there is any time you want to feel, look, and function your best, it would be during the busiest (and most likely to be photographed) time of the year. Here are my top three tips on getting workouts in during this busy season.

#1: Get your workout off of the” to do” list and on your calendar.

Schedule a workout appointment to increase the chances of doing your workout. Whether you go to boot camp class, meet with your trainer, or work out with a buddy. Scheduling the number of workouts you want to do in your calendar ensures that there is room for them in your daily plan. For greater chances of success, schedule your workout first thing in the morning even if it means getting up 20 minutes earlier. Very few emergencies will happen before the day gets started so you are more likely to get your workout done.

#2: Experiment with shorter, more intense workouts.

If you are short on time, a quick 5-15 minute workout really can be just enough to get your heart pumping and sweat flowing while keeping you mentally in the transformation game. Getting your workouts in, even if they are super short, can help keep motivation and dietary compliance high so give one of the short workouts at the end of this post a try.

#3: Make it a family affair.

Informal “playercise” with your family is a much better option than skipping your workouts. Play tag, chase, or hide and seek with your children or organize a game of flag football or active Wii game tournament.

Short Holiday Workouts

Start each workout with this shortened warm up.

Short Warm Up:

Repeat this circuit twice with no rest.

10 Bodyweight Squats

10 Pushups

10 Reverse Lunges

Workout #1

Do as many rounds of this each superset as you can in 5 minutes. Rest only as long as needed to catch your breath. If possible, continue for the entire 5 minutes without rest. Rest 60 seconds before going on to the second superset.

Superset #1:

Squat & Press (8 reps)

Deadlifts (12 reps)

Superset #2:

Pushup Row (5 reps each arm)

Hip Bridge and Overhead Press Combo (10 reps)

Workout #2: Equipment Free

Superset#1:

Y-Squats (overhead squats without weight- 12 reps)

Plank Jacks (10 reps)

Superset#2:

Burpees (10 reps)

Alternating Lunge Jumps (5 reps each leg)

NOTE: If you are short on time, do only one of the supersets in the workout for a 5-minute workout. If you have extra time and want a challenge, do all 3 or 4 of the supersets for as much as a 20-minute workout.

Food Pressure - How to Deal With It This Holiday Season

2011-11-10T09:26:00.003-06:00

How to Deal With the Press - Food Pressure That Is!

Food pressure, feeling compelled to eat something or a quantity of food that is not supportive to your health or fitness goals, can be manifest in countless ways. Whether perceived or real, food pressure can make the holiday season prime time for unwanted weight gain but it doesn’t have to be that way this year.

External food pressure is when someone is unrelenting in insisting that you eat a certain dish or a certain quantity of food. This person may be well meaning but the pressure can often come in forms of hurtful remarks (“oh so you are dieting AGAIN) or guilt trips (“I really worked hard to make this special dish. I can’t believe you won’t eat it.”). Internal food pressure is the pressure we feel when are compelled to alter our food choices based on what we believe those around us think or feel about our food choices.

4 Tips for Dealing with the Pressure

Tip#1: Offer to bring a few healthy dishes along to share. Your plate won’t look empty because you will have plenty of supportive options to choose from and maybe no one will notice you didn’t go back for your usual second serving of mom’s cornbread dressing.

Tip #2: Decide in advance when and how much you will indulge. Be polite yet stern when others try to influence you and focus on non-food parts of the celebration to turn the attention off of you and your dietary choices. Stick to your guns. Self-determination is one of the most powerful tools you have. If you go into a social situation with the thought, “I MAY have some dessert, a drink, etc”, you absolutely WILL have an indulgence and you will most likely feel bad about it since it was not part of your plan. This perceived failure then leads to more indulgences because the “I already messed up and I will start again tomorrow” mentality kicks in. You have the power and responsibility to remain in control- decide in advance.

Tip #3: If someone keeps pressuring you about your food, explain why you are choosing to eat what you have chosen and be enthusiastic about it. You just may inspire someone.

Tip #4: Realize that in most cases people really don’t care deeply about what is on your plate as long as you don’t make everyone else miserable because you feel you are missing out on the fun. Come to the gathering prepared with a game plan. Stick to it and most of all be upbeat and fun- no one may even notice what you ate.

Whether you experience external or internal food pressure during the holidays, the key point to remember is that you and only you have the power and the responsibility to create the health, look, and fitness that you desire. If you consistently give your power to others, you will never attain the health and happiness that is within your reach. At the end of the day, only you will live in your skin and you owe it to yourself to make the choices that will make you comfortable in that skin. Have a happy holiday season!

Shout outs also to Dawn for using a 12 pounder on upper body twists and Joni for facing her 'fear' (ok concern) of doing squat to presses with 10pounders instead of 8 pounders. Jaime continued to be an inspiration with her intensity and "high" high-knees. Great job to all this morning.
