10 Minute Legs & Thighs Workout Video: Complaining Won’t Burn Calories!

1 Comment

In the spirit of it being Sunday afternoon, I want to share some good old fashion inspiration.  It goes like this “Always be joyful.  Always keep praying.  No matter what happens, always be thankful.”  (1 Thes. 5:18-16) This is easier said than done, but the truth of the matter is that complaining or having a victim mentality will do us no good in life.  Life is hard.  It always will be.  We know this.  HOWEVER, when we learn to always be thankful we make ourselves STRONG enough to endure and thrive under the most trying circumstances.  This week, I challenge you to practice being joyful.  At the end of each day, think about 5 things that happened in your day that you are grateful for.  It’s amazing how practicing gratitude can totally uplift our outlook on life, energize us and give us more #GRIT.

With that in mind, here’s a new leg workout video that I made last week. It’s HARD but guess what, you CAN do it!   Be thankful for a healthy body that’s able to workout and know that complaining won’t burn calories 🙂  Make it an awesome week.  Lots of luv, Brit

It’s not over…

2 stronger GRIT by Brit

Hope you guys had a very happy Easter weekend.  What a wonderful holiday – I’m always encouraged after Easter because it reminds me that ALL things are possible with God.  If death can be conquered, then I know I can certainly conquer my goals or any obstacles in my life.  

As I was sitting here in my room preparing for my work week and planning the workouts I want to post, I had an urge to change it up and to just share some good old-fashion encouragement with you instead.  It that alright?

So here it goes…

Be encouraged this week!  You may feel like giving up, you may feel hopeless, you may feel like you’ve been working your butt off and nothing is paying off.  But guess what?  It’s not over for you or for me.  We got gotta hang in there and keep pushing!   We are closer than we think we are.  Be strong this week.  Work harder than you’ve ever worked before.  Be more kind and more forgiving to others than you’ve ever been before.  Today is a new day and you are almost there.  Be ENCOURAGED and NEVER EVER QUIT.  You got this! You’re stronger than you think you are #GRIT

Lots of luv,

Brit

Love Your Body Day #1: Get HATE out of your HEART

1 Comment

love your bod image 3

Happy February!  Today marks the beginning of my “Love Your Body” series.  For each of the next 5 days I’ll share a healthy, body-lovin’ tip.  Our health is essential to our being, so cherish your precious temple of your soul – your BODY!

Lots of luv,

Brit 🙂

Get HATE of out of your HEART

Let the grudge go.  Holding a grudge does NOT cause any pain to the person who hurt you (they couldn’t care less).  Your grudge only causes pain to your body.  Several university studies have proven that holding a grudge is bad for your health.  Joseph Neumann, PhD, a clinical psychologist explains, “When I treated patients with cardiovascular disease, I was struck by how many were bitter, angry, and depressed,” says Neumann. “It clearly affected their health and their ability to heal.”  On the flip side, a study by Harvard Women’s Health Watch found a link between forgiving and improvements in heart rate and blood pressure.  

The reality is that life isn’t fair.  People will treat you unfairly, hurt you, cheat you and, on top of that,  get away with it.   But we must CHOOSE to not let our pain or anger ruin all of the good things we have in life.  Eventually, we reap what we sow.  So don’t worry about getting back at that awful person, just let the grudge go!

Love your body today by forgiving and letting old hurts be history #GRIT

The World is YOURS…

TURBO NYC has officially launched!

www.turbonyc.com

What a weekend.  I just launched my latest venture, Turbo NYC – God is good!  As some of you already know, I’ve been staffed on a long assignment in Washington, DC for several months now.  It’s been hard to make it home to Dallas, TX every single weekend so I started spending lots of time in NYC.  While NYC is great, I really really miss teaching my weekly Turbo Kick classes.  Teaching  brings me so much joy and positive energy that doing without is simply unacceptable.

When I’m in NYC I take super fierce Turbo Kick classes at my home club (shout out to @24hourfitness & super instructor @natalieuhling). However, I noticed that Turbo Kick overall isn’t as popular in NYC as it is on the West Coast and in the South. I think it may because there are SO many fantastic fitness options in NYC that many people simply aren’t aware of Turbo Kick’s awesomeness.

In any case, the entrepreneur/Turbo fanatic  in me jumped on this situation and had an idea to start teaching independent “GRIT by Brit” Turbo Kick classes outside of formal fitness clubs – Turbo NYC!  I LOVE Turbo Kick so much and have gotten  amazing results from the class (lost 25 pounds in 1 year – woop woop).   As an instructor, I feel it’s my duty to make Turbo Kick accessible and affordable to as many people as possible – thus my motivation to launch Turbo NYC!  Now people can enjoy Turbo Kick without being a member of a club.

Like setting out on any new venture, I had lots of self-doubt and fear of failure.  But with mental #GRIT and faith, the launch went off without a hitch!  We had an amazing turn out!  Our class was not messin’ around.   My #GRIT guys had to open the windows because the class was bringin’ the HEAT! Along with my #GRIT guys, I must thank my dearest friends who spent tons of time and energy encouraging me and supporting me – you guys bless my life exceedingly and abundantly.  I am so very grateful for you all (*tear).

“With faith in yourself and faith in God,  ALL things are possible – the world is YOURS!” #GRIT

NYC readers, be sure to come check us out next Sunday and EVERY Sunday at 11:00 AM in Flatiron.  All of the details are on our site, www.turbonyc.com

Have a wonderful week everyone – to health and happiness

Luv,

Brit  🙂
