Lead by Example

When I began my health and fitness journey as a team beachbody coach, I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to keep up with the workouts. See I'm a stay at home mom right now and I needed a job that I could do at home. Did I mention that I'm a full time online student as well? So you see my dilemma, right? Here's the thing though. Team beachbody has afforded me the opportunity to not only own my own business at home but also set my own hours. Plus I'm getting paid to do the two things I love most... Workout and dance (I'll explain later).

 This is how I balance a one year old and my fitness. The key thing is to write out a schedule for everyday that week even your meals. This is critical so that you and your mini develop a rhythm. For example, I know everyday my mini is going to wake up around 10:30a. I can wake up at 8a, get my workout done, and handle anything concerning my business. Even if she wakes up before 10:30a, I include her in my workouts with me. She's at an impressionable age and mimics everything so why not include her. Plus it's a great way for me to teach her how to count and make it fun.

This is where leading by example is so profound. My daughter will start exercising even without me during the day. I make the most of it. So if we lead by example others who are afraid to step out and take control of their health will follow. This in turn will make them lead by example and inspire others to do the same. Isn't that amazing? So even though I have taken an interest in my health and fitness, the fact that I can lead by example, inspire others that it is possible to do, and offer people solutions to their goals is such a beautiful thing.
