Welcome!!

Hi!! I am Rebecca Carter and I am a fitness enthusiast! I am also an Independent Team Beachbody Coach!! I just started my coaching career so I am new to that but I am not new to exercise, sweating and working hard. I am the proud mother of 5 wonderfully busy children and so although I am not extremely overweight, I have always been heavier than I would like and way out of shape.

My husband first discovered Beachbody while in the military and we eventually bought Shaun T's Insanity program about 2 years ago. Of course this opened the door to all kinds of fitness information we had no idea about as well as nutritional supplements and various fitness programs. It was frustrating when we first got the program as I found out I was pregnant almost the exact same time we bought the program and so I was unable to do it with my husband. So, I watched and as soon as our youngest was 8 weeks old, I dove in! It was INSANE!! It was one of the hardest but most rewarding thing I had ever done!! Unfortunately, my core was still pretty weak from having just had my 5th child so I had to stop as it was causing pain and other post-partum complications. Feeling pretty discouraged I decided to investigate other Beachbody programs to find one suited for me. I tried Hip Hop Abs, Brazil Butt Lift and finally settled on Les Mills Combat which fit the best for both my husband and I.

We are grateful for the journey so far as we are trying to make a better life not just for us, but for our children as well. They see what we do and want to do it too! My son even told my daughter as they were playing that his action figure was so strong because he did Les Mills Combat and drank Shakeology!! They also love to dance along with Shaun T in the Fit Kids Club DVD. I am hoping they keep it going as they grow up so they will stay fit and we can do our part to help them become able to help others be healthy too!

Have a great day!!!
