Me and my partner in fitness crime, Alex takin’ a quick trip to the Denver Coliseum to check things out and DREAM BIG about our upcoming fitness event scheduled for Sunday, September 25th!
Stay tuned… this isn’t gonna be your average lil’ group exercise class y’all!
2 of my favorite ViPR Master Trainers: Jamie Atlas and Nate Fryer ran a killer workout with the ViPR logs up at Red Rocks and you KNOW that my girl Sara and I could NOT miss out! This video isn’t what I shot… but I’m pretty sure it’s a lot of Jamie’s footage with the rest of the PTontheNet crew! We had a fantastic turn-out on a BEAUTIFUL Colorado Saturday sunny morning!
Thanks guys for a great workout and a great time!
WE DID IT! We put this AMAZING fitness event together in less than a month!!! And it went DOWN! HUGE! Total Body Workouts in the main amphitheater and then on the separate top deck stage we featured a 90-minute Zumba workout and a 90-minute Turbo Kick workout! It was HOT! In EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!
Bottom line… if you missed it this year… pretty sure you’ll hear from EVERYONE that was there… DON’T MISS IT NEXT YEAR! Because it was a fantastic blend of a variety of workouts at Colorado’s most BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR VENUE! And we all WORKED – IT – OUT! Enough to solidify that it WILL happen again NEXT YEAR!
So stay tuned… You know I’ll definitely keep you in the loop!

We threw down a TURBO for a CAUSE in support of a non-profit organization called NANA (Naked and Not Ashamed) that provides counseling and support for victims and their families. They have phenominal classes and workshops, counseling and even dramatic presentations, telling the true stories of people that w…ere once victims and are now VICTORIOUS!

I had the priviledge of being a part of a panel for a Job Seeker event locally here in Denver that revolved around FITNESS in ALL areas to be balanced while on the job hunt. The panel was comprised of a group of experts on the following: Financial Fitness, Physical Fitness, Mental Fitness, Emotional Fitness, Spiritual Fitness and Professional Fitness. I had a limited time to speak on the PHYSICAL FITNESS aspect and it’s value in the midst of being unemployed. The time went by so fast… that immediately I realized I wouldn’t be able to squeeze in all of the things I had hoped to share. So I thought the next best thing would be to re-cap on what I did say as well as what I didn’t get to!
I know from experience how easy it is to get discouraged and to find yourself sitting on the couch with your computer on your lap for HOURS on end and then to look up at the clock and realize that it’s the end of the day already and your significant other is coming home soon and you have NOTHING to show for your day! It perpetuates feelings of guilt, shame and resentment and ultimately a negative energy in your home.
It’s so easy to alienate yourself and hide inside your own personal bubble, to hide away and find yourself alone during this process. Instead, it’s vital to stay connected with your friends as well as other networking social events. GET OUT and DO SOMETHING… ANYTHING! It doesn’t have to cost money… and it will pay back huge dividends because you were able to have a release and come back with a fresh mind.
Think of when you were working full time… what was your excuse then for not working out?
“I don’t have the time!” Am I right?
In addition, what was your excuse then for running through the drive-thru or stopping and getting a ridiculously high calorie, self-sabotaging meal… because you didn’t have time to go to the store, come home and take the steps to prepare a healthy dinner?
Again, “I don’t have the time!”
SO…….! THIS is your TIME! Seize THIS as YOUR OPPORTUNITY to set aside time to to better yourself while creating healthy patterns of exercise and creating healthier meals. It’s actually a fun little challenge to yourself to become the most fit you’ve ever been! Not only in mind, spirit and professionally… but physically! When you look better – you feel better – when you feel better – natural, true confidence simply exudes from you effortlessly and you will be seen as someone that is driven and committed and someone that simply can’t be passed up for the right position!
When we are physically fit, we walk taller, with pride and with confidence. We are in turn not only nicer to those around us, especially our loved ones, but we draw others to us. Who ISN’T looking for that in an employee?
Motivation
What motivates you? What inspires you? What kinds of things do you like to do to be moving your body?
What I think is SUPER fun, you might think is silly or boring! And vice versa… so I can’t tell you to all come in to my gyms and come hit my kickboxing class and you’re life will be renewed! Because that’s not necessarily true! You have to find your “soul-mate” work-out. If you hate running, you shouldn’t commit to running at the gym every day. If you hate being outside, then you should find something indoors that you can do.
Some people say you only need to work-out 2-3 times a week and for only 10-15 minutes. I say… GREAT! …TO START… but then… you should be adding on each week until you are doing something at LEAST 5 days a week and up to at least 30 minute work-outs and continuing to build on that!
What moves you? List three moving activities that you enjoy doing where you can actually break a sweat:

Accountability is KEY! I run 90-Day Challenges with many of the various workouts that I love for other people that are doing it on their own but in tandem with others doing the same workouts. And the LOUDEST CRY that I hear when we are nearing the end of the 90 days of a challenge is, “PLEASE CAN WE CONTINUE THIS GROUP WHEN THIS CHALLENGE IS OVER? It is what motivates me and encourages me. I know I have to check in with people and so I do it!” It is this type of accountability that makes ALL the difference!
ACCOUNTABILITY – find people that will meet up with you somewhere to do something active with you.

Plan of action:
I am a Beachbody Coach which means that instead of buying your P90X or Turbo Fire or Insanity fitness videos (or many others to choose from) from the Infomercials, you can buy them through me at www.jdkix.com and I’ll be your COACH and help you along your fitness journey! And of course, if you are interested in becoming a Coach and turning that into a business for yourself… I would love to have you join my team.
There are also MANY fantastic FREE resources out there to use!
Online and/or FREE Resources
Additionally, there are many fun locations for fitness options around Denver off the top of my head… I’m sure there are MANY MANY MORE! So, please feel free to add to my list in the COMMENTS section below!
