I was scared and nervous but I hit play and pushed myself

First, I just want to say that @fitnessblender helped me save my life! 

Jan. 26th 2016 was the day I changed it all…I started with just changing my diet and being more mindful of how much I was eating. At times this felt impossible but I kept pushing. I wanted to make myself, my family, and most importantly my kids proud of me. I wouldn’t be able to achieve that if I gave up. 

I finally made the decision to start adding workouts into my day (this is where @fitnessblender comes into the picture). 

I wasn’t confident in my body and was feeling too embarrassed to go to a gym again. Not to mention it seemed like each time I would get a gym membership I would find a way to get out of going. So I waited till I was home alone to not let anyone hear how bad I was about to struggle, got on YouTube, searched for cardio workouts and low and behold Kelli and fitnessblender popped up. 

I was scared and nervous but I hit play and pushed myself as much as I could. From that first video I was hooked! I have never felt bad about the effort I could give and could feel I was getting better with each day!!! I have lost 60 lbs. so far! I still have work to do, I will always have work to do! I can always get stronger, build up more endurance, push farther. I still get sore after workouts with Fitness Blender. And I oddly love that feeling! It tells me I pushed myself just a little farther than I could have before. 

I am always telling people about how much my life has changed thanks to a random search and click on YouTube! I feel so much happier now! I actually allow a picture to be taken of me no matter what (mini victory for me). 

My kids never miss a moment to tell me how proud of me they are! How could I not keep pushing just for that reason alone? (The picture on the right is from yesterday after my #fbsweat workout). 

If this has happened in just a year with @fitnessblender I can’t wait to see what the rest of my journey will bring me!! #journeyisneverover #excitedforthefuture #grateful #fitnessblender #workoutcomplete #earnit #loveit #repeat

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

Adaptogens

We are a stressed society, and an over-medicated society. We are a processed-foods society, and an over-caffeinated society. Many people are turning this pattern around, realising that all of the coffee and frozen dinners and cereal and prescription fixes are easily abandoned with an entirely natural solution: superherbs. “More than ever, people are [researching] the detrimental effects of taking synthetic pharmaceuticals and consuming processed foods, says holistic health coach Annie Lawless . “People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The body is not designed to digest, assimilate, and eliminate chemicals, and it simply cannot. When these toxic wastes and their byproducts are stuck in the body, they create disease and imbalance. Taking a pill may mask the symptoms of certain ailments, but it does nothing to treat the ailment itself. The body is still suffering despite the fact that the resulting superficial pain has been quieted, and it is important to dig deeper and tr
