FAQs Answered: FREE Coaching for Active Duty Military or their spouse!

I'm so excited to post this list of FAQs on the awesome program through Beachbody - the Beachbody Military program. Great savings available to all active military / their spouses! Check it out! (just a side note: I think this is an awesome program especially for military spouses who want to have a job and earn an income but struggle to really build a career because of the constant moving lifestyle of the typical military family!)


What is the Beachbody Military program for our Independent Team Beachbody Coaches?


Beachbody is excited to offer this great program for our Coaches who are actively serving in our military. If you are an active member of the military and newly enrolling as a Beachbody Coach, the cost of your business starter kit ($39.95) and your monthly business service fee will be waived for the duration of your active duty orders. If you are already a Beachbody Coach and on active duty, your monthly business service fee will be waived for the duration of your active duty orders. In either case, if your active orders have no stated end date, your business service fee will be waived for a minimum of two years.

I’m a Beachbody Coach and I’ve got friends in the military who would like to enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. What’s my next step?

It’s always a great idea to share as much information about this opportunity with your prospective Coach prior to their enrollment. Giving them a chance to review more about being a Coach can help ensure they’re well informed. Once they’ve decided to join our Coach network, you’ll want them to complete the Coach application, and submit the completed Coach application, together with a copy of their active duty orders, to our Coach Relations team for further review and processing. Paperwork may be submitted to our secure fax at (213) 201-7225 or by email to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com. If we need any further information to verify a new Coach’s active duty status, we will reach out to them directly.

I’m active military and I’d like to become an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. How do I enroll?

Please complete the Coach application, and submit the completed Coach application, together with a copy of your active duty orders or any suitable verification of your status, such as a copy of your military ID or your BIR, to our Coach Relations team for further review and processing. Paperwork may be submitted to our secure fax at (213) 201-7225 or by email to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com. If we need any further information to verify a new Coach’s active duty status, we will reach out to you directly.

Both I and my spouse are active military. May we both enroll as Independent Team Beachbody Coaches and have our fees waived?

Yes, if you and your spouse are both active military, you may each enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, and each of you is eligible to have your basic enrollment fee of $39.95 and your monthly business service fee waived. Both of you will need to complete our Coach application and submit the application along with the verification of your active status.

I’m active duty military however my spouse would like to enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. Is this possible?

Yes, absolutely. If you are active duty military and are not a Beachbody Coach, your spouse is welcome to take advantage of this benefit. If your spouse is enrolling as a Coach rather than you, your spouse will need to submit a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable paperwork, in order to qualify for this waiver. In this particular case, the name on the Coach account will be the enrolling spouse.

I’m active duty military. Can anyone other than my spouse enroll as a Coach based on my status?

No. As an active member of the military, either you or your spouse may enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach to take advantage of this waiver of standard fees. If you and your spouse both wish to enroll as Independent Team Beachbody Coaches, and only one of you is an active member of the military, only one of you would qualify to have your standard enrollment fee of $39.95 and your monthly business service fee waived.

I’m active duty military and I’m already an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. What’s next for me?

Please submit a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable verification of your status, such as a copy of your military ID or your BIR (feel free to use the Coach Application Fax Cover page available HERE) to our Coach Relations team. Upon further verification of your active duty status, we will waive your monthly business service fee for the duration of your active duty orders. Please note that your initial business starter kit charges are not eligible to be refunded.

What do you mean when you say I have to be active duty military to qualify for this benefit?

At the time you submit your Coach application, we will also need you to include a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable verification of your status, from your branch of service. Your active duty orders will likely include a start and end date. Based upon the end date given, your monthly business service fee will be waived during that time period. If you are reassigned to active duty at a later date please contact our Coach Relations team for further instructions.

If you have more extensive questions regarding whether or not you are eligible for this program, please contact our Compliance department at compliance@teambeachbody.com.

If you are interested in joining TeamBeachbody as a coach please message me at gabriellah99@beachbody.com.

In defense of Mila Kunis: "Outlandish" or Tough Love?

I check the news daily and when I saw the headline "Outlandish body claims: Kunis puts her foot in her mouth" ...well as a wellness girl, I had to click! I started reading...waiting for this "outlandish claim"...



In an interview included in the latest issue of British Glamour, Mila Kunis said that anyone can lose weight, and if you can't, you're not trying hard enough.


"I'm a huge foodie. I love food," she said. "But when people say, 'I can't lose weight,' no, no, no, you can. Your body can do everything and anything. You just have to want to do it."

{me: ok....}Kunis lost 20 pounds to play a conniving ballerina in 2010's "Black Swan" alongside Natalie Portman. While dance training and dieting helped her whittle down her frame, self-confidence was key, too.
{me: was she underweight...no they're not talking about that...}

"I don't think I ever fully [realized] what a human body is capable of doing," she told the U.K.'s Glamour. "But I think I was also, in a beautiful way, incredibly naive. I believed I could do anything. I never for one moment thought that I couldn't do it. I believe in hard work, in self-drive and self-worth."

{me: ok where is this "outlandish claim"??}

But plenty of yo-yo dieters would agree that "self-drive and self-worth" isn't all it takes to score a Hollywood physique.

{me: seriously??....}

I'll try to leave alone the fact that the journalist is basing the judgement of "yo-yo dieters" when it comes to an actress talking about her successful body change...because as I'm sure we all know - and will admit - yo-yo dieting comes from our own resolve, or lack thereof.

Before we go further, let me also say that my reaction was based on the assumption that Miss Kunis is not saying 'As long as you have self worth, you can sit on the couch, eat potato chips and lose weight' because she clearly says that she believes in "hard work, in self-drive and self-worth".

I don't believe her claims are "outlandish". I don't deny that in some cases, we need more help from the outside - whether that's friends, doctors, therapy...whatever it takes to suppress the demons that derail our efforts - but I believe that with the right determination and confidence, you can make a changes in your lifestyle. If I'm honest with myself, I can say that the times when I was off track or wasn't making the progress I wanted, it was because I lost focus. I let other things get the better of me. I stopped believing that I could improve - not because I thought I was perfect but because I didn't think I had what it took to be better.

To call these claims outlandish is just one more example of how much we - as a society - shy away from tough love. Promoting self esteem has taken on a life of its own to an extreme. We have "graduation" ceremonies for pre-school, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school...we give ribbons for everything...everyone always makes the team regardless of ability...we need to be told we've done well even when we haven't and groups everywhere get outraged when not every child is told that they're good at everything. There is a balance between encouragement and honest feedback and in my opinion we've gone too far to the former. We try to teach diversity and that different people have different strengths, yet we go out of our way to either reward a child just as much as the one next to them, regardless of their actual performance. (Unfortunately we could extrapolate this to explain why American kids are falling behind in performance compared to their counterparts around the world but this isn't an education blog so I'll let you take it from there...)

The bottom line is that Miss Kunis is 1000% right. The human body is amazing and "mind over matter" is not just a phrase your mom used to use to get you to suck it up for a family event you were too "sick" to attend (ok maybe that was just my mom....). It takes hard work - something to which the American culture seems to have developed a severe allergy - and determination. It takes looking inside, knowing when you're doing everything you can and either stepping it up or taking the right paths to get the help you need. It takes owning up to your actions or lack thereof and knowing that you're worth the time, energy, and resources it takes to be healthier.

Thank you Miss Kunis for making your comments and hopefully pushing others to examine themselves the say way you prompted me to do the same. I am sorry we'll be at two different Marine Corps Balls (while both in NC) this fall but I hope you have a great time!

What number comes after 99,999??

...100,000! Com'on you knew that! So what's special about that number? It's how much you could win in the Beachbody Challenge!!! Check it out today and I want to help you with this! Let's help you get fit, inspire others, and win some dough! Worse case? You get a t-shirt to tell everyone about your success!!

And the winning just keeps on coming!

Beachbody always has chances to win...and this one will only take 10 minutes! If you have tried 10 Minute Trainer with P90X's Tony Horton, you have a chance to win a trip to LA!!  Check it out!

Just me and my shadow...

When you go to the gym - even if you go alone, you're surrounded by other people (usually). Exercise classes become your second family. Your spotter becomes your best friend in the gym. You even connect with people in your workout DVDs - I connected enough that Jenelle from Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire is my Beachbody coach!

But when you're a runner...especially a distance runner... suddenly your evenings are about speed and turnover workouts and Saturday mornings are longer and longer runs at the break of dawn...and it's just hard to find someone who is going to be by your side. A few weekends ago I was lucky enough to be in North Carolina with my boyfriend but he and I ran at two different paces given I was going at our intended marathon pace and he was preparing for workouts he needed to do at work that week. We'll be running a 10 mile race together in a week that will also be a nice change of pace....but for the most part, distance runners have to get used to being loners.

I can't tell you the number of people I have had say to me that they hate running for that reason - they can't spend that much time alone...they get bored...it's too far to go without having someone to distract them. Trust me, I understand those reasons and it's one of the reasons I almost always run with headphones...

Those long runs in solitude are tough but those are make runners who we are. We develop a strength and confidence in ourselves. Doesn't mean we don't need help - I know I wouldn't have finished either of my marathons so far without the help of friends (even if I did only meet the first one about a mile before my meltdown!) - it just means that we have to develop a confidence that we can do this on our own. This mentality is the trademark of a marathon runner whether they could finish in three hours or in six.

Long runs over time become a source of serenity. They go from being tedious time where nothing can distract you from your own thoughts to uninterrupted sanctuary from the craziness that is every day life. They become therapy.

I encourage you to find time that you spend only with your shadow. It may or may not be long runs. It may just be an 15 minutes in the morning with a cup of coffee as you sit on your porch before the day starts or a little time to wind down as you watch the sunset. It may be time of prayer and reflection or just listening to your own breath. We need these times to reflect and let our minds unwind to stay healthy and truly be well. This time will make you stronger - I promise - as long as you allow it. Make it a goal this week to at least 3 times before next weekend, spend time alone in a quiet way (amazing how even though I live alone, this is so hard even for me to do!). Even as we eat better, sweat more, and get addicted to those actions, our minds are pivotal in ensuring wellness and you deserve all the wellness you can get!

Special Coaching incentive...only from me!!

In case you haven't noticed....I love being a Beachbody coach and maybe not for the reasons you think. Yes, the little extra spending money is fun. Yes the incredible 25% discount on everything Beachbody is..well...incredible. But for me, corporate Beachbody, and the vast majority of the coaches,this business is about more.

This past weekend I had a blast at the 2nd largest Warrior Dash ever which was held in Michigan and imaginemy excitement when i saw a Beachbody tent! Excited, I pointed it out to my cheerleader / photog /support crew of the day....and not to mention amazing friend (a fellow coach!), Kristy, and we immediately ran over to say hi. We weren't at all surprised to see the top Michigan coach there with his team. We exchanged hellos and hugs and off I went to race!!! After I got cleaned up, we went back over and learned that he wasn't really "working" it that day (granted...to me, coaching never feels like work!). Instead he was there as support for his team. Yes, his business is stronger for his team being stronger but that was not his reason for being there. He was there to pay it forward..to support his team and help them like others had supported him. He didn't take home a single email address, phone number, or name despite the number of people he talked to or how many questions he answered. As I listened to him explain this, i realized I wasn't at all surprised....this is the culture of Team Beachbody! Further proof of thatwas standing by my side...my dear friend who is also a loving wife and mother of 2 adorable boys who, upon learning I lost my running buddies, dropped everything and went to Flint with me Friday night to be at the race with me first thing Saturday morning!

I had no idea how supportive and incredible of a network I was joining when I signed up to coach. I just knew that i would be saving money on my Shakeology by signing up. The $40 to start coaching and $15 each month to keep up my websites was a no brainer for me...and the friends and positive, supercharged network of over 60,000 coaches? Priceless.

I want to pay it forward and sharein this with you...this gift of wellness and support and chance to build your own business if you choose to work it. That's why this weekend I want to offer you a special welcome to the team. If you sign up as a coach with me and start on Shakeology Home Direct (a key to the biz you'll learn as we get you going) I'll help you get started with some products that will help you get started in your better wellness journey.

- Just for signing up, you will earn the President's Challenge PALA and I'll give you the lapel pin to display with pride.
- As an active coach, you'll recieve your first pin from Beachbody.
- I'll get you get up with our team's shirt to wear with pride and start conversations!
- PB2 for your Shakeology....a great mix in!!
- The Team Beachbody "End the Trend" t-shirt so everyone knows you are part of the solution to our country's fastest growing epidemic...obesity!

As anyone who joins me in this journey to be well and help others do the same, you'll be part of he largest and most respected teams in Team Beachbody - Platinum Presenters. Check out our website at www.platinumpresenters.com where, once you're signed up, you'll be eligible to full access to that site where top coaches provide training, documents, webinars, advice, and guidance for free. And did I mention the 25% discount on everything Beachbody including Shakeology???

Think about it. Ask questions. But don't delay. I want to get you started on this amazing path as soon as possible so this special offer closes at midnight on Sunday the 7th.

Help me End The Trend!! Let's make tomorrow better for all of us and reverse all the negative effects that our entire country will continue to feel if we don't start to sweat, eat, and repeat to be well!!

I never imagined this would be so good but it is, I promise. The recipe info only includes the nutritional info for the bananas BUT feel free to use no calorie toppings or mix ins like cinnamon (awesome choice!). Make sure if you include anything else, you count the calories.

This might also be a great way to sneak some fruit into your children's day.... where are my sneaky moms out there?! Enjoy!

Soft-Serve Banana Ice Cream


Nutrition Info
Calories: 108.6
Fat: 0.6g
Carbohydrates: 27.6g
Protein: 1.2g

Ingredients
4 frozen bananas

Directions

Place frozen bananas in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to break into smaller pieces, then turn on and run for about five minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The bananas will start to resemble soft serve in a few minutes. Transfer to a bowl and place in freezer for about 15 minutes, if you'd like, or serve immediately.

Another recommended topping: A tablespoon of pure maple syrup mixed with 2 t dark cocoa powder (calories not included).

Or maybe you should mix in some PB2 for an awesome PB Banana ice cream?? Please share your other ideas too!!

Earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award!!

So if you were on my shopping page right now you'd see this on the right hand side:

Earn your Presidential Active Lifestyle Award when you order! All Beachbody® fitness programs answer the President's Challenge to be physically active in everyday life. So, not only will you get in great shape, you'll receive recognition from the President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition.

An Award?? From the President?? Awesome...right? So how do you earn it? Well President and First Lady Obama have recognized the work Beachbody is doing to END THE TREND so they have set a special set of qualifications through our Team!

To earn the PALA through Beachbody you just need to:
- become a coach! OR
- sign up for Shakeology Home Direct! OR
- order a Beachbody home fitness program!

....by August 17th!

To sweeten this idea some, I'd like to offer some suggestions!
- check out my coaching incentive coming to a blog near you (yes this one!) on Friday!
- combine Shakeology with coaching. You won't get two PALAs but you will save money on your Shakeology even if you don't see yourself "working" the business.
- do this with a friend - accountability makes a world of difference!
- sign up and let me know you did! If you sign up for Shakeology Home Direct or order a home fitness program and stick to it - I want to know and I'll make sure you not only get your certificate through Beachbody, I want to get you a PALA pin as well to wear with pride!!

So what do you think? Personally, I'm stoked about the recognition Beachbody is getting in their efforts to END THE TREND of obesity in our country! How will you earn YOUR PALA?

p.s. Parents - check it out! Kids can join too! Guide them through signing up at www.presidentschallenge.org and help them track their activity and see how the minutes add up!!

Numbers that will break your heart

I know I'm a data driven, logical, methodical engineer by training (and upbringing!) so I am always looking at the latest data, graph, chart, table...if it's got numbers relating to something important to me, I'm probably checking it out. You get the idea. Often though, when I read this data, my "engineer mind" takes over. For those of you who aren't engineers...let me explain.

Numbers, data, physics...these are all logical things. If you drop an apple (or round frictionless chicken for my engineer friends who know that joke) it will fall at a speed that you can accurately calculate given the right data. Engineers are trained to look at the raw, verifiable data and determine the best solution to a given problem. Emotion, feelings, and many human factors be darned! This is why so many brilliant engineers make (just being honest here) lousy managers. We have conversations many don't understand because we remove many human reactions or expectations. I can't tell you how many times my family, friends and colleagues have had conversations that would not be deemed appropriate in "normal society" because we consider ways to improve government, social systems, and other societal problems in ways that are completely logical yet would fail once you add "nusances" like jealousy, human desire, the need to feel needed, etc... It's not because we don't care about people...it's simply that we're thinking in terms of facts and logic.

So when I look at this data, even though I approach it as an engineer, I am heartbroken. I can't remove the human factor from these numbers! Across the country, there are only two states where less than 10% of children are obese. Most states report that 10-15% of children are obese! That means that in a child's class of 30 students 3-5 of them are obese...and this number has TRIPLED since 1980. If this trend keeps up, assuming you have young children now (or will have them soon), your grandchildren have a 1 in 2 chance of being obese!! That's sickening and heartbreaking to me! Isn't it to you? Do you want your children and grandchildren to experience joint pain, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and other health risks ...not to mention the self confidence and emotional damage that can come from weight problems? I didn't think so...but as an engineer I will tell you, math doesn't lie!

With this information in hand I implore you to think about those you love especially children who look up to you. What kind of example are you setting? Are you showing them that HEALTH is an option and balance between living fun and living healthy is completely possible? Are you showing them that their first priority and one of the most selfless habits they can develop is taking the time and energy to be healthy? How? How often?

I'm not going to tell you that you have to be a Beachbody coach to set this example but I will tell you that coaching keeps you accountable to your actions. You may have other ways of staying accountable...through your own workout programs, through fitness programs with your spouse or another loved one, or through a group of a friends. For me, Beachbody has worked better than any of these. Where else are you going to find 60,000 other people committed to the same kind of healthy, balanced lifestyle? Not to mention, 60,000 nationally recognized coaches! (see more on that soon!) Please think about coaching if you don't already have a good network around you...and even if you do! We need to end this trend...this terrible terrible trend. The next generation deserves better!

One last thought...a friend of mine recently posted a status on Facebook that I think can push us to think. She said "Those of you who complain about the habits and behaviour of this generation, please take a long look at the people who raised them". This is our call to action. I don't have children yet but I know that my behaviour and my actions are visible to those around me. A child may emulate one of my eating habits and pick up a healthier habit directly from me...or a parent may become inspired to go out for a walk every evening because of the choices they know I make and the success they see me achieve which in turn shows a child that it's never too late to learn a new healthy habit. This kind of influence is a great power and as Spiderman knows, with great power comes great responsibility. Seize and embrace that responsibility! Find a way to make an impact in the lives of those around you. I could go on for days about how a healthier community is a better community in so many ways but I'll put away my soap box for now and ask you to click on both of the links below.

The first link is the information from the CDC which shows these frightening and heartbreaking trends in the health of our children and the second link includes information regarding becoming a Beachbody coach. Please contact me for more info as there is a FREE webinar each week with the top coaches in this incredible company and I'd love for you to hear their point of view too!

This is your chance...will you seize it?

Monday Accountability: Marine Corps Marathon Training continues....

Last week...and the weeks before that...
....well mostly. I've been trying to stick to my plan but ...ok no excuses. I just haven't. I was trying to make up a slew of workouts but doubling and tripling my workout time has been stressful and exhausting. So I'm cutting myself some slack. Not a lot. Just enough to get myself back on track and feel good about it. Today is August 1st. A Monday. The first day of the month. I love these kinds of days...to me they're like a sign ...a good omen....an amazing time to start fresh! So that's what I'm going to do. Start fresh. I'm putting the past behind me and just sticking to the plan and doing the workout today that I scheduled for today...and same tomorrow and every day after that.

Nutrition
I'm also getting back to tracking my food. It won't be easy (especially since I'm starting off with a business trip!) but I have the myfitnesspal app working on my Blackberry and I've got friends watching me there so I know I'll stick with it! I've got my Shakeology (and a blender) packed for my trip so I can stick to my breakfasts at the very very least!

Workout plan
Monday: 20 minutes MP + ChaLEAN Extreme Push Circuit 1

Tuesday: 45 minutes cross-training

Wednesday: 60 minutes of speed training and CLX Push Circuit 2

Thursday: Rest / stretch (aka practicing my PiYo for my August 28th PiYo training!)

Friday: 40 min MP + CLX Push Circuit 3

Saturday: 90 min MP + push ups (my weakness...gah! but I've got an app)

Sunday: Rest and stretch (PiYo!)

Alright...time to get ADDICTED! How will you sweat and eat to be well this week?
