How do I get started?

You trust in yourself, take a deep breath, maybe two, and get ready… set… GOOO!!!

With this website, tutorial videos, and support network, getting started really is as easy baking a cake for the first time (a healthy, grain-free cake of course! See my favorite cake recipe HERE). You need to gather the ingredients (exercise equipment) and then simply follow the recipe (do the exercises listed for each day). If you bake the cake for the right amount of time you will enjoy all that it has to offer in no time at all. As with any new recipe, at first it may be challenging to get it right, but with a little commitment and motivation, it soon becomes effortless to make the perfect dish every time! (Just like this program!)

This program is designed for women of absolutely all ages and backgrounds. There are two parts of the fitness program. The first is a strength program and the second is a conditioning workout.

We offer three different strength and conditioning programs: Sexy Ladies (beginners-no equipment required-most important goal is fat loss), Pretty Women (intermediate-no weight required, but can be used for a challenge-most important goal is fat loss), and Confident Cougars (Ready to start adding weight onto your lifts to reach your full potential-barbell, squat rack, and weights required-most important goal is strength and getting that "toned" look). In order to know what program you should start with, please follow the links in this paragraph to read more about each program.

The strength portion is what helps you strengthen your bones and muscles for all of life's expected and unexpected challenges. Oh and this is how you reach that longed for "toned" look. Although you do not need a gym membership to follow this program, for the advanced level (Cougars) you will want to buy some dumbbells, a barbell, plate weights, and squat rack. All this equipment is commonly found in most gyms or on craigslist. If you want to buy the equipment and workout at home-which I highly suggest if you have a very busy life-you can buy these things used on craigslist for typically pretty cheap. If you do not have access to a gym and no equipment, you may begin by using the "Ladies" or the "Women" program depending on your starting level, both of which requires no equipment. As you become more fit and ready to progress onto the "Cougars," program, you can get the equipment as needed.

The second part of this program is the conditioning portion this is how you get better at endurance type activities like walking up stairs, running, and playing with kids for a long time. It is here that you will really decrease body fat and unhealthy toxins in your body! This part of the program is all about FORM and INTENSITY. You must push hard on these workouts even when you are tired and feel like your lungs are on fire! Yep, you will know the feeling when you get there-but you are going to keep pushing and keep moving because you want to be fit for life!
