Wake Up Better

I hear it all too often. 

"I'm not a morning person"

"I set 3 alarms at different times"

"I'm always late in the mornings"

So let's change that huh? Shake it up a bit!

Here are some of the best ways to WAKE UP in the morning...

(aside from exercise, nutrition, actually going to bed on time, etc!) 

So ONE: 

Ditch the snooze button. Seriously. Set your alarm for the latest possible you need to and deal with it. When you set multiple alarms, sure, you get 5 more min of sleep, but it's pretty terrible sleep and you honestly feel WORSE the 2nd ... or 3rd ... time you have to get up!

TWO:

Drink water immediately. Put a bottle of water on your night stand and down a few ounces to re-hydrate your body from overnight sleep and to wake up your insides.

THREE:

Rub acupressure points. Studies show that these pressure points can stimulate your body to get moving faster and combat that sleepy feeling. These pressure spots include, the webspace between your thumb and index finger, the top of your head, the soles of your feet and the tops of your calves just below your knees! Massage, rub, knead .. it'll all help!

FOUR:  

Actually get out of bed. Make yourself sit up and put your feet on the floor (BEFOOOOOORE you check your cell phone!!!)

Happy Morning's!

Fitness Banking

My fitness is like a bank. I can make deposits and withdraws. The more deposits I make, the more interest I accrue. The more I see my interest grow, the more I want to make bigger deposits.

Ya with me here?

There are so many unpredictable factors in our lives, our finances, and our health.

SO .. how cool is it that it's my J-O-B (if you can call it that!) to be doing my body's "bank account" a world of good and to also be able to INVEST IN OTHERS BANK ACCOUNTS TOO!

Yeah ^^^^^ you heard me. This isn't about me making solo deposits here.

Daily I get to help my challengers deposit more into their own bank accounts ... and the coaches in my family deposit real green into their real bank accounts.

This J-O-B is my fav and both types of my bank accounts are happier.

So if you're looking to cut your losses and up your gains on your daily "body" bank account or looking for a way to find freedom with a job where you are your own boss and make your own hours, I'm here to tell you that I have lots of "deposits" to help you make that happen.

Check out what it means to join the FAB FORCE coach family or sign up to be a challenger! 

Happy "banking"!

Chest Flab is a REAL Thing!

One of my "body pet peeves" -- you know, those things you are overly conscious about at almost all times? -- is that skin that rests between your chest and arm pit, which I've now dubbed "chest flab".

While body fat could be the culprit, changing your diet alone won’t always solve this issue. Doing chest exercises paired with back exercises can help fill out that problem area. Here are 4 basic moves to ditch the awkward skin!

( Food for thought: Women with implants have very little of this extra tissue. That’s because increasing the size of your chest by adding muscle or implants (in their case), can fill out that skin. )

4 Basic Moves to Bust CHEST FLAB! 

1. Push-ups

2. Chest fly

3. Dumbbell row

4. Lat pull down 

*Not sure what the proper way to execute one of these is? Just ask :)

 Drop a comment or message me! 

Happy CHEST FLAB FIGHTING!!!

Top 1%

The face your video freezes on when you just told your team the most exciting news!!

** Our team, Fit & Balanced FORCE, just became a top 1% team in ALL of Beachbody!! **

AHHH!!!!

Why is this so exciting? Well let me tell you about some special ladies who are working hard to balance their lives in a way that matches their dreams.

Some are mothers, some are not. Some stay home, others work full time. Others are pet parents plagued by student loan debt like me. We are all so individually unique yet each of these women have made an impact by serving others and connecting them with a life of health, fitness and confidence.

11 months ago when I joined Beachbody I had no idea this kind of fullfillment was possible. I thought I had to work myself to death to pay off my debt and that my body would just take 2nd place to those long hours and stress filled days. It was then, while juggling a full time job as an occupational therapist that FAB FORCE became a dream of mine. These wonderful women have helped me to map out that dream and take it from a crazy vision in my head to giving it goals and action and a reality!

Congrats ladies, you are the top 1% of a billion dollar company that makes people's lives better daily. Let that sink in!!

Sloooow down!

Ever wonder what life would look like if you could SLOW DOWN a little here or there?

Currently I have the fortune of doing just that. I am in between corporate jobs due to my big move across the country to be with the man I love (sounds dreamy right?). And I have got to say that my life just feels more FULL because there is LESS on my plate!

I am still working hard on putting in the efforts to live life by my own design. Being a beachbody coach is helping me to do just that. As of today I am 1/4th of the way to my needed income level to MATCH my full time corporate america job .. whoa! I have been doing this for 6 months and each month it continue to grow with a lot love and a whole lot of fun!

If you think you have to be stuck where you are forever, you don't! If you think that getting healthy and helping others do the same sounds like a DREAM job, it is.

I am SO grateful to the doors this is opening in my life!!




PS. If you're interested in chatting about what the heck this really is, email me, message me, carrier pigeon me!!

What does a Beachbody Coach earn?

One of the neatest things about this business is how you earn money. It's not based on your education level or your qualifications, but simply about the time you put in, your consistency and your ability to be genuine. For real. That's it. You do not have to be super skinny or fit to start as a Beachbody coach, you do not have know how to teach someone else how to do a push up, you simply have to be willing to be open and humble.

I work a full time job and I wish I could put my 100% attention into this daily, but for now .. here is how Beachbody is helping me!

Thinking about becoming a coach? Email me at thebowseat.com or find me on facebook.com/chelsea.eckelkamp and I'd love to chat with you about how this can change your life too!

Becoming a Beachbody Coach

My life as a Beachbody coach is pretty much the neatest thing ever!

*Help people feel more confident, change their lifestyles, and get fit & healthy*

*Help other coaches live a more free life from debt & stress so they can choose where to spend their time/money*

*Hang out with these amazing people!*

Yup, NEATEST. THING. EVER!

My life feels like it has become more complete and WAY MORE balanced since I joined these ladies. My strive for balance by incorporating more to do in a day in order to find less noise and less stress and more happy has actually reflected out into others with the same internal goal.

I set out on this amazing path for myself in a weight loss/confidence manner. It very quickly became an opportunity that I latched into to help live my life free from debt, free from conventional corporate america , and more free to go where my life takes me so that I can give back to others freely!

If ^^^^^ (all that) sounds like something you'd be into, let me know, I would love to share it with you!

Blessings & Burdens

Are you a whiner? Do you hear yourself secretly comparing yourself and thinking IT'S NOT FAIR!?!? We all have those days! I feel like the last half of this week I just couldnt shake this weird funk!!

Today will be a day of reflecting around here. For me, I'm reflecting on my WHY. Reflecting WHY I want to share my passions for helping others get healthier. ANd my WHY for wanting to reach my highest potential.


The last 5 months of this journey have made me feel stronger physically, emotionally and spiritually.


I keep looking back and telling myself "I BELIEVE IN YOU! You can do this!" -- when really I need to keep looking forward and reaching out to those who might be lost like I was.


My goal is to help women <men, you're welcome too> to feel STRONGER (physically, mentally, spiritually and even financially) because they deserve it.

Excuses

Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it …. "I don't have time" is the adult version of "the dog ate my homework". And I am guilty of this in the past!!

If you unexpectedly had to pick up your child from school or your pet got sick and you had no back-up plan, how would you deal with the situation? Cancel an internal meeting? Take some work home with you? Do some hard prioritizing? The truth is that when we really need to, we get out of the office at the time that is necessary. Make a schedule (write it down if it helps!), stick to it, and remind yourself that working out is a priority worth keeping.

This is the NEW YOU. The NEW YOU keeps a schedule. The NEW YOU doesn't make an excuse to skip a workouts.

Goals!

It's a New Year people!

My "New Year, New You" Challenge group just kicked off this mornings and I am already so proud of those ladies! Today we are talking about goals , aspirations, dreams, resolutions or "what i want to be when i grow up".

There are a couple things that you MUST do when it comes to goals...

*believe you CAN: first things first...get rid of that negative tape running in your mind. yes, the one where you repeat statements like "i could never do that" or "that's never going to happen to me" or "wow, look at her. she's got everything right". let's start on the inside by realizing you are worthy of having dreams and achieving them. you CAN do anything you set your mind to, but the foundation needs to be set that you believe in yourself. believe you can and you will.

* find out why you aren't happy with where you are today: if you're thinking about a major career or life change, just for funzies, let's figure out why you aren't happy. for example, maybe you love what you do, but you simply don't like the company you work for? or maybe it's your depressing boss? if you had a change of company, maybe things would turn up and, in turn, so would your passion about that career choice. sometimes when you're unhappy it makes everything else seem gray and cloudy. but if you are able to see a clear picture into your life from 35,000 feet, you may see that it's just that company or boss that is making you miserable. So let's apply this to your fitness journey -- what about your current state makes you unhappy, what's your WHY!?

* write them down: did you know that your dreams and goals are more likely to happen if you have them written down? it's true! so what are you waiting for? write them down now!!!and then when you do write them down, take it a step further by breaking them down into bite-size pieces. start with small goals and you'll see how quickly you're moving in the direction of achievement.


My why? I don't want to go back to feeling closed off in my own skin or unhappy every time I step in my closet. When I started my fitness journey 16 weeks ago, I was in a tough spot. I was stressed, I was making poor health choices, and putting off taking care of myself. I cannot/will not go back to that. I host these monthly groups to help show others that they do not have to be that person - now, then or ever! Instead they can be the fun, optimistic person who is trying to find the best version of themselves with all the support, accountability and motivation they can get!


So here is to the new year & the new you!!
