10 Fitness Secrets From The VS Angels

    Let's be real—who doesn't want to know the fitness regimens of some of the world's most beautiful girls? Luckily for you, we spoke to Doutzen Kroes's and Adriana Lima's trainer, Michael Olajide, Jr.! Michael is a published author and former professional boxer who took his training tactics out of the ring to establish Aerospace NYC, one of Manhattan's most elite fitness destinations. Now, the Angels' tricks are coming right to you! Michael is sharing his 10 hallmark fitness tips, and we're pretty sure you'll never look the same again. Take notes!
1."Make your workout athletic emulation," Michael says. "If you do what an athlete does, you'll end up looking like one! Plus, it won't be boring like weight-lifting or other monotonous activities, and the benefits are guaranteed." His favorite Angel-approved technique? "Shadow boxing. It's great! You can also do the conditioning a boxer does, like jumping rope, ab work, and push ups to supplement your activity." If you're more of a lover than a fighter, Michael also approves of ballet, running, and cycling.
2. "Create your playlist so your song selection gets more motivating as you workout," Olajide says. "Adriana loves new electronica for her workouts. For Doutzen, her husband is a DJ, so he works with incredible electronic and house music, which is extremely motivating. It has a great pace, so you can really move to it. Some of the girls also like hip hop, such as Jay Z or Rick Ross." The cardinal rule of music selection? "The last song should be the most impactful."
3. Opposites attract when it comes to your workout. "If you are a high energy individual, learn to be still. Take a yoga class," Olajide suggests. "Do something that's counterintuitive to your personality. If you're dedicated to yoga, try a strength or speed program." 
4. "Work out at least 6 days of the week," he insists. "It doesn't matter the intensity or the length of time. Just make it a daily habit." 
5. "Do mostly cardio. Healthy blood flow is the cure to what ails most of us," Olajide says. This is arguably the most important tip of them all. Good cardio is the cornerstone of a healthy body!
6. "Do a workout with a learning curve, or something that requires developing a skill," Olajide says. "Think boxing, ballet, or kick-boxing. Doutzen loves ballet and Adriana does everything from bootcamp classes to boxing." If you're a member of a sports team, you're already working on this item, so good for you! If you're not, pick up a tennis or a swim lesson, or hop into a dance class.
7. "Hire a personal trainer once in a while to boost your abilities and teach you new things," says Olajide For some people, planning a workout can be the bigger challenge than the actual workout itself. Fitness experts call that "gym-timidation." Personal training is a solid first step to conquering your fear and kickstarting a routine that works for you. A trainer will cater to your needs, abilities, and desired results. All you have to do is show up! If you already belong to a gym, ask one of the staff members to tell you more about the training packages they offer. If your gym doesn't offer training services or if you don't have a gym membership, look into personal training gyms in your area. Just remember Michael's advice: It doesn't have to be a year-long commitment. Save up for one month of training, then try a month on your own. Revisit your trainer when you (and your bank account) feel it's necessary.
8. Make a date of it! "Train with a friend. Whether he or she is faster or stronger than you or not, you will learn from teaching as well as being taught," Olajide says. They say misery loves company, you know...
9. "Take one day out of the month where you don't eat or drink anything processed or manufactured," Olajide says. That's right—we're putting away our Kit-Kats. Eliminating processed foods starts will aids your internal organs all the way to the most external (not to mention the largest organ of them all, your skin!). Pay attention to how your body feels the morning after eliminating processed flour, chips, and other bad-for-you ingredients. You just might be surprised.
10. "Master the jump rope," Olajide insists. "It's the most convenient, efficient, and effective workout ever!"

My 21 Day Fix Has Arrived!

    WOOOHOOO! I got my 21 day fix in the mail today and I was - NO JOKE - watching the mail lady (from my upstairs window) walk the package to my front door. Creeper? I THINK NOT! I'm soooo excited about this program. I've had friends who've lost 10-15 lbs in their first round, and continued success with more rounds completed AKA this baby works!!


It's 21 days of working out for 30 minutes a day, and eating from these cutesy little containers.




    YES, you duplicate some containers each day, don't worry!! For example, after calculating my calories in the nutrition guide, each day I'll eat:
  • 4 Reds
  • 3 Yellows
  • 2 Orange
  • 1 Blue
  • 3 Greens
  • 2 Purples

    I had my shakeology for breakfast (counts as a red) and my lunch which consisted of a red, blue, + green and I've eaten so much food already! It's hard to believe that it's 3pm... I'm almost not sure if I'll be able to eat the remaining food containers by the end of the day!! (Jeeze, I've NEVER had that problem before haha)

    Everyday the workout is only 30 minutes, which I'll be honest, THANK GOSH!! I mean, everyone has time for half an hour right? You get in, you get out, DONE! I can't wait to do my first workout tonight - "Total Body Fix" Ahhhh, I can just hear my body getting chiselled... just kidding ;)

    Here's a little list I found online from healthyrevenge.com to give some examples of what goes in each container (color co-ordinated). The closer a food is to the TOP of the list, the healthier it is for you. That doesn't mean you should avoid foods from the bottom though, because it's all about variety baby!


    Even though I am a beachbody coach, I had no intention of using the 21 day fix when it first came out in January this year (2014). I already have P90X, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme, PIYO, & Body Beast. So... I definitely wasn't in need of a new program haha. BUT - A couple weeks ago I was scrolling through the TV channels late at night (pretty much my regular thing) and I saw "Lose 15 lbs in 21 days." I knew instantly it was for a Beachbody product & CONFESSION: I actually LOVE watching our infomercials. It makes me more proud to work with this company to end  the trend of obesity and change lives! Anways... I was watching the infomercial and was starting to think "WOW, those are impressive results. PLUS, it takes the guess work out of portion control!" Something I've never gotten good at. The whole thing just started to make sense. My mom bought the program about a month ago and she lost 6 lbs in her first week, needless to say my burning desire for this program had been building even before the convincing infomercial. 

    WELL, fast forward to last saturday and I ordered this beauty! I've literally been watching the same infomercial the last few nights since I can NOT contain my excitement!! 

    I can't wait to show you guys my before & afters. I know in my gut this is gonna be a game changer and will be the secret ingredient for me to lose those last stubborn 5lbs. Talk to you soon!

Beachbody coaching VS Gym Membership

So.... I'm doing some research and the average cost of a gym membership is $40 a month... and 3 personal training sessions a week is approx $150... that makes $704 a month to workout!!!???

I did 31(days) / 7(days in a week) x $150 + $40 = $704

Owning your own beachbody business is $15 per month and we get PAID to WORKOUT and help others - the average Star Diamond coach income is $90,746. Seriously folks!! 
A no-brainer for me. What's holding you back?
