Top Three Reasons Why Everyone Needs a Health Coach

So it's no secret that I speak passionately about living a healthy lifestyle while still loving the occasional treat, but I wanted to take the time today to actually tell you WHY I think, in my very humble opinion, everyone should have a health coach.

I know in the back of your head your probably thinking right now "Nicole, no way, I can't afford that!" But you haven't even let me explain myself. Before I became a beachbody coach last June, I had been a member of a gym for about 4 years. Now this gym was down near my grandparents. This was because I basically lived there, my job at the time was the next town over, and I would spend my summers down at the beach. While I was at school, I would put my gym membership on hold and use the gym at school. I did the whole gym thing for years and yes it worked for me at the time, while I was losing those 70 pounds (YES, I said 70 pounds). While weight watchers was great for me in the past, I hit a point where I had maintained my goal weight and just was not seeing the results I wanted. 
Shakeology- My Secret Link

Here is the truth:

  1. I am not a personal trainer. I am a nurse
  2. I am not a nutritional/expert.
  3. I do not know a lot about the 3 billion types of supplements and diet pulls sold at every health food store across the country.
Here is what I do know:
  1. After years of struggling with my weight and maintaining, I have finally found the missing link to the puzzle.
  2. Attitude is everything.
  3. Accountability is the missing link. 

So lets start off by discussing why do I believe having a coach is so important?
  1. It's FREE: as a health coach, I am not a self proclaimed expert but a woman who has helped others lose weight, keep it off and pay it forward. I have been given the tools by Beachbody to help others. Simply put- if you do exactly what I tell you to do, IT WILL WORK. There is no guess work. There are only results. The testimonials you see on facebook or on your TV in the infomercials...they are REAL! Why? Because there is NO MAGIC PILL! its hard work that anybody can do if you are willing to put the work in.
  2. It keeps you motivated: Why do most diets fail? When you think about it. You start a new routine. You are excited and ready to get going. You read all the directions, look at the testimonials, and you know its your time to shine. But diets aren't meant to be be permanent. They are designed to provide temporary results through a cut in your calories, there is a cut in nutrients. Well I am here to tell you: YOUR BODY NEEDS THESE NUTRIENTS!!! Eventually you go through a constant cycle. You see results, you gain weight back and then you cycle again! Being a part of a challenge keeps you motivated because its not a diet. There is real food. Food that gives you natural energy. Food that ignites your system into naturally wanting more real food. This doesn't change. This is a long term thing, this is a lifestyle, not a quick fix, not a diet but A WAY OF LIFE!
  3. It keeps you accountable: A challenge group consists of a group of participants who "meet" online to achieve their personal weight loss goals. Through the help of the coach, each day they are motivated to achieve real results because they are surrounded by others who want to see similar results. Everyone in the group works out on their own and reports into the group for daily tips, motivation and recipes.
Fitness For ALL!

What I can guarantee you is 100% that following the meal plans and workout programs that have been provided by your Beachbody program, and participating in the accountability groups, you will not only see results, you will become the lifestyle behind the results: forever.

Yes, you may occasionally still want to splurge a little and you are more than welcome to! I splurge from time to time. Yes, I am human too and I am not always healthy!
