Fitness Journey – Beautiflexx

May 18, 2017

My fitness journey has turned into a lifestyle change. Although I haven’t signed up for another competition, I still work out 6 days a week, prep meals and surround myself with positive people.

See, I have some friends that do cross fit, cross country running, yoga, Pilates or don’t work out at all. Love, kindness and support is their commonality. Truly that is all we need, right? True. However, finding online fitness communities provides support, (for me) motivation and accountability (Amen).

One community that I just absolutely love and I mean love is Beautiflexx. Trust me, I have been on many closed fitness groups. This page was created to inspire people to love their bodies and promote fitness but what’s even better, they give back to their community by supporting our veterans.

For many of us, we don’t have access to a gym or local support groups. This closed online community is a place where members can meet daily to encourage and lift each other up. There isn’t a day that goes by that you don’t see members sharing workouts, nutritional recipes, inspirational post, progress pictures and tidbits of their lives. I have personally made some wonderful connections with people that inspire me each and every day.

JFYI, as a member, there are some rules that are strictly enforced. No body shaming at all. No underwear pictures that show your nooks and grannies or party bits. I can’t believe that I have to type that. Lastly, no selling of products or services.

So, if you are interested in finding out more information about Beautiflexx, you can find them on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter!

“INSPIRE. MOTIVATE. REPEAT.”

My Fitness Journey: My Personal Trainer

March 21, 2017

When researching personal trainers, I wanted somebody that embodied all aspects of fitness and led by example. I was driving home from work one day and saw a personal trainer sign, Kandace P. Fit Studio. I immediately googled and checked out her Facebook business page.

What did I learn about Kandace?

  • Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Specialist through NASM
  • Specializes in personal training and small group classes
  • IFPA Pro Figure and Bodybuilding competitor
  • Qualified Judge for the OCB/IFPA organization
  • Urologist Nurse for over 17 years

On June 29, 2014, I requested more information via email.  She was prompt with her response and outlined her rates and packages. On July 9th, I went for my free consultation.

Her smile and enthusiasm was infectious. Literally, I was in awe of all the information given, her eagerness to know why I was there and what her thoughts were on how we, as a team, could accomplish my goals.

From 2014 to today, Kandace has done the following for me:

  1. Creates workouts to help me accomplish my goals while focusing on my weaknesses and fine tuning my strengths;
  2. Helps me understand that nutrition is the key to my fitness success;
  3. Focuses on my form to ensure proper muscle development and to ensure my safety during each exercise;
  4. Listens and is always there for me when I have any questions or concerns;
  5. Reminds me to breathe and that Rome wasn’t built in a day; and
  6. Always prompt, professional, and flexible with her schedule when life throws me a curve ball.
