Fitness

I hesitate to really call myself a working mom because 1. I love my "job" so much that it doesn't even feel like work and 2. I don't work a traditional, outside of the home, 40+ work week type of job.  Real working moms are probably rolling their eyes that I would even consider myself a "working mom".

But I guess that's the beauty of my job!

I am an online health and fitness coach through Beachbody and I love every minute of it.  I started back in March 2014 after my coach, Brittany, contacted me through my blog.  I had just had James {well he was 5 months old at the time} and was on my post baby #2 weight loss journey.  I had lost about 20-30 lbs of the baby weight at that point but I was still far from my goal.  Initially I didn't think this was a good fit for me.  I wasn't in shape, I wasn't at a healthy BMI and I had never used any Beachbody products.  I ignored the email and never thought anything of it.

Brittany followed up with me again and this time I had put in a little more effort and lost a little more weight and was getting into my groove.  I had seen infomercials for T25 with Shaun T and I kept thinking, "Man I'd love to try that!  A workout that only takes 25 minutes and delivers THAT kind of results?"  Again, I didn't think much of it.  Then Brittany offered me to try T25, FREE, if I signed up.  OK, sold!

Once I started doing T25 I had almost immediate results.  I started to share my progress via social media and people were really interested!  I couldn't believe the response I started getting from people who either wanted to get started with their own weight loss/fitness journey or people who were just looking to switch up their current routine.  Either way, people were interested in what I was doing and I thought to myself, "I could really turn this into something!!".

I loved T25 so much.  That was the program that changed everything for me and I will forever recommend that to anyone looking to lose a decent amount of weight and/or looking to significantly change their body.  I had great results and in a very short amount of time.  You can read about my thoughts in more detail, here.


After T25 we got a new program, PIYO and while it was a completely different program I was anxious to try it out.  I ended up LOVING it!  I said I loved T25, I know, but PIYO is like my soulmate workout.  I loved it so much that I actually became a certified PIYO instructor in October 2014.  I am not currently teaching any classes but I still practice PIYO nearly every day and hope to find a gym home very soon.


Since becoming a coach, less than two years ago, I have advanced to a diamond coach and have a team of 24 highly motivated, inspiring, beautiful women.  We have helped countless women achieve their own health and fitness goals through our online challenge groups.  I would love to help YOU with your goals!  If you would like to be a part of one of my challenge groups comment below.  It's all done on Facebook and it's all private.  Challenge groups are a fun way to stay motivated and accountable while having the support of others who are on their own journey.  You will have far more success with your fitness goals when you surround yourself with like-minded people, which is what makes challenge groups so successful.  Oh, and did I mention, it's FREE?

Becoming a Beachbody coach has allowed me the freedom to work from home while making more money than I was at my full-time job.  I get to work at home, in my PJs {or workout clothes, if we're being honest}, during hours that work for me and my family!  I get to attend all of my daughters school functions, no need to get approval from a boss man for time off.  I get to do all of this while doing something I'm very passionate about anyway, helping others.  Never did I dream I would be able to mesh something I love with "work" but here I am, doing it every day.  

Interested in becoming a coach?  Want more info on any of our products?  Want to be added to my challenge group?  I would love to tell you more so shoot me an email, shannon.r.dew@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you ASAP!
