YOU CAN GET IN SHAPE! EMBRACE FITNESS Getting in shape is truly a gift that only you can give yourself.  It's the one of the greatest gifts of all!  Embracing a fit lifestyle is highly rewarding in all aspects of your life.   However, as you know fitness success doesn’t happen overnight.   It takes desire, motivation, commitment and determination on a daily basis to attain your fitness goals and dreams.   Though the thoughts of getting in shape may seem overwhelming it is attainable!

Get Motivated to Get in Shape! "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."   ~Norman Vincent Pearle   Achieving fitness success doesn’t happen overnight.   It takes desire, motivation and commitment to attain your fitness goals and dreams.   Though the thoughts of getting in shape may seem overwhelming, it is attainable! You may try to rationalize why you just can’t find the time to take care of you.   There are plenty of excuses of why millions of Americans are overweight and even obese...     Living a fit lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight it takes motivation, dedication and determination to achieve your fit physique.  

YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT! Weight loss is an attainable goal for anyone who has the desire to improve their quality of life.  You can have a slim physique regardless of age, gender or size.  If you're tired of be overweight and exhausted all the time then now is the time to take your health & happiness into your own hands. It all begins with the desire for change.  To take the first step on your weight loss journey you must dig deep and answer the question "Why?"    Why do you want to live a healthier life?  Do you want to lose weight for you or is someone else pushing you to lose a few pounds?  If you're trying to lose weight because someone is pressuring you to, it will be next to impossible.  You may lose weight, but you will most likely gain it all back plus a few more pounds once the pressure to lose weight is eased.  You have to do it for You! 

CREATE YOUR DREAM BODY “Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” -Lou Holtz A clean diet is everything when living a fit lifestyle. People often reach out to me for weight loss advice, they complain about not being able to lose weight. They say that they try to exercise, but are just too busy or that they don’t have enough energy. They also say that they’re eating healthy, yet the weight just won’t budge!

Getting Back on Track! "Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."  ~Lou Holtz YOU CAN DO IT! Getting back on track with your fitness and weight loss goals after a festive holiday of overeating with family and friends can be overwhelming for some people. If you ate too much yesterday don’t worry you can regroup and attain your goals! Typically at social gatherings there is plenty of high calorie foods and desserts to tempt and tantalize your taste buds. Often self discipline and control seem to go out the window the moment you step through the door.  If you overindulged this past Easter weekend, don’t despair, there is nothing wrong with indulging a bit by eating succulent foods; in fact, it’s good for the body and mind to have a high calorie meal now and again after weeks of eating clean. Unfortunately, many people have negative self talk in the aftermath of overeati

WHAT TO EAT Recently I posted an article on Facebook titled Lose 10 to 15 lbs in 30 days! I received several emails asking for samples of my LivFit meal plans of what to eat throughout the day to lose fat, maintain muscle mass and create a anabolic (muscle building) environment in the body, which raises the metabolism and burns fat faster. For those of you that missed my weight loss article, here it is…

WEEKEND FITNESS WARRIOR Just because it's the weekend doesn't mean you have a green light to pig out. If you want a fit & sexy physique by summer you have to stay focused on your fitness goals 24/7! You have to be a weekend fitness warrior by not allowing junk food temptations to overpower you. Plan your workouts and meals in advance, write them down then follow through by honoring your goals. You'll be happier and will feel empowered by keeping your promises. Be the master of your mind, don't let random uncontrolled cravings & lack of interest to exercise control your life!

BURN FAT!  BUILD MUSCLE! Before hitting the gym, about 30 minutes prior to lifting weights, eat a small pre-workout meal consisting of a slow digesting carb such as oatmeal, an apple, banana or an orange with a high quality whey protein drink (aim for about 30 grams) to increase stamina and strength in the gym.  Be sure to stay well hydrated before, during and after you train.  Drink a L-Arginine based supplement during your workout to ensure your muscles have the nutrients and energy needed to get you through your tough workouts.  Within 30 minutes of training eat a post-workout recovery meal consisting of a complex carb such as oatmeal and about 30  grams of whey protein.  Take another serving of L-Arginine on an empty stomach before bed to build and repair muscle tissue while you sleep. An excellent L-Arginine product that gets results fast is Liv International's product, GO Nitrimax .  When I started using it a year ago my body fat dropped and I went from toned to ul

BURN FAT FASTER If weight loss is your main fitness goal, cardiovascular training is essential to accomplish your fitness dreams. Doing cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach will burn your fat stores for energy since your glucose in the blood (blood sugar level) is extremely low from fasting during sleeping hours, so your body will turn to its own stored energy to fuel your muscles during tough workouts.

Dreams Really Do Come True! I recently received an endearing letter from one of my former fitness client's that I had the privilege to coach over a year ago.  Her powerful LivFit testimonial of her weight loss success touched my heart deeply. My client achieved her fitness goals and dreams by wholeheartedly implementing my LivFit Lifestyle Program.  To begin a transformation journey it begins from within... By connecting & balancing your body, mind & spirit your body will begin to desire exercise and will crave healthier foods, as a result you will reach your goals much sooner.  By living my LivFit Lifestyle you too can achieve your fitness goals & dreams.   

LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS Would you like to lose 5 to 10 lbs before the Holidays?  Eating clean is 90% of feeling great & the key to losing weight even more so then exercising alone. Don’t get me wrong exercising is essential as well but eating clean will make or break your fitness goals & dreams.   You can do crunches, lift hard, ride the bike until your want to puke but if you turn around and eat junk food or high in fat, refined, processed foods you won't see the results you desperately desire. HOW TRANSFORM YOUR PHYSIQUE To transform your body from flabby to fit & tone you don’t have to workout hard 7 days a week you just need to workout at least 30 to 60 minutes 5 to 6 days a week. Building a lean physique is attainable.  To live the LivFit Lifestyle is simply making exercise part of your daily routine, eating healthy, whole foods and keeping a powerful positive attitude. You can lose 5 to 10 lbs before the Holidays!  Eating whole foods w

IS THE SCALE YOUR FRIEND??? Contrary to popular belief, weighing in DAILY will help you reach your weight loss goal much sooner than doing it once a month or not doing it at all. I used to believe that the scale didn’t matter it was only how my clothes fit… But then I realized the power of the mind and how weighing in daily truly reaches an entirely new subconscious level that made me think twice about what I put in my mouth. Those that are afraid of the scale have a mental block ~ they’re terrified of what number will be on the scale; so in turn they eat more calories than they should and gain unwanted weight… and before long instead of reaching for your skinny jeans you realize that your fat jeans are much too tight for comfort. Studies have shown that using the scale daily will indeed help you lose weight faster! Trust me weighing in daily will change you from having a scared, fat conscious mentality to a "bring it on" weight loss mentality. It’s h

Do YOU Really Want to be Fit? I'm constantly asked how to get in shape... It's always a mental decision to begin any lifestyle change.  I decided to be fit because I wanted to be a strong mother for my children and a healthy wife for my husband.  I wanted to be free of frustrations and guilt of not fitting my clothes well.  I wanted to have more energy & feel empowered every single day.  And most of all, I wanted to believe in me!  So I made the choice to get in shape.  I decided that eating healthy food tastes a whole lot better than eating high fat foods that only made me feel worse in the morning.  After all, nothings more frustrating than working out hard in the gym only to sabatage my efforts by eating poorly - I've done it a million times and trust me it's not worth it! It's Up to YOU Decide today to take control of your health & fitness.  Believe in YOU!  Believe that you can achieve your goals!  Believe that you can have anything that you set you

START YOUR DAY OFF RIGHT by Jumpstarting Your Metaoblism Eating breakfast is more than important for so many reasons. You'll not only feel better after a 8 hour fast but you'll also give your muscles the needed energy to develop, burn fat and supply your brain with the needed nutrients for clear mental health. Studies have shown that starting your day off without breakfast can lead to over eating later in the day. The best way to start your day is with an all natural breakfast consisting of protein and a complex carbohydrate. My favorite meal of the day is my breakfast for many reasons. It not only tastes delicious but it’s my fuel to get me through my busy day. Carol’s Favorite Oatmeal Breakfast 1/8 cup steal cut oats 1/8 cup whole oats Small handful of whole wheat ½ cup water Bring to a boil then put on medium heat and ad ½ cup Vanilla Almond Milk Mix in 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder 1 tsp cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg Stir and enjoy! Oatmeal has many health benefits, no

LIV FIT, TRAIN HARD & LIV HAPPY! FREE COACHING & LIV SXINNEY WHY I LOVE LIV SXINNEY Most everyone knows how passionate I am about motivating other's to improve their quality of life through fitness & nutrition. I'm all about living life to the fullest which includes, living a happy & abundant lifestyle. I'm also a big fan of supplements; I know how healing they are for the body. I recovered from Rheumatic Fever when I was as child because of supplements. MY HERO My dear Mother is my ultimate hero for so many reasons, one of which she literally saved my health by teaching me the power of supplements. I took Penicillin to protect my heart for 6 years in my youth; it ultimately destroyed my immune system which brought on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. From that experience I learned how to take control of my health and wellness by eating whole foods, supplementing my diet and exercising daily. Had I not been ill in my youth I would not be the fitness guru

LIVIN' FIT! What a fabulous week it's been! I've trained hard daily and I'm thrilled to say that my hard work it definitely paying off. I was tired yesterday and a bit too fatigued to do cardio, so I only did 10 minutes of cardio warm up & stretching followed by a cool down with stretching. Listening to your body will ward off overtraining and will keep you psyched for training - if you're too tired take it easy that day and eat a low-carb diet filled with more protein & fresh veggies for fuel. You'll be able to give your all the next day after a good rest which will allow your body to recover properly. THANK YOU TEAM! I'm excited to share my daily routine & clean eating menus with my LivFit Team who has joined my Liv SXinney Team. Thank you to everyone who has committed to living the LivFit Lifestyle.
