Take a dance with Brooke Burke
Don’t you want to look like Brooke?? I wish! The star reveals the sculpting circuit she does to tone from head to toe. It’s no wonder that MinervaPlace chose her to greet visitors to this amazing site when it launches next month. (But you can get a sneak peek of what to expect from Brooke by checking out her Total Body Routine here) Both the Crisscross lunge and the cheek to cheek are familiar moves to me having worked out with Chalene Johnson with TurboFire over the last year.
Minerva Worldwide, Inc. is a corporation developing MinervaPlace.com, designed to become the “go to” site for those seeking rich content on weight loss and related health and beauty guidance. It will be the WebMD of diet and weight loss, and you can sign up for free and have access to loads of free content which I really think it pretty cool.
MinervaPlace Dances with A Star, Brooke Burke-Charvet Visitors to MinervaPlace will be greeted by actress, dancer, model, author and TV star, Brooke Burke-Charvet who will introduce the Minerva Weight Management Video, “The Ultra Smart Diet”, and encourage visitors to become members of the community.

Ms. Burke currently co-hosts the top-rated television show “Dancing with the Stars,” a favorite among the MinervaPlace target market, women 24-49. You may remember Brooke won Season 7 of DWTS as a contestant along with her dancing partner, Derek Hough.
Ms. Burke’s book, The Naked Mom: A Modern Mom’sFearless Revelations, Savvy Advice, and Soulful Reflections, published in 2011, considers the challenges of raising children while managing a successful show business career in Hollywood.

Join the Ultimate Program – The Real Deal Challenge

It’s easy to get the benefits of healthy nutritionally dense foods with with Shakeology. Simply mix Shakeology in your favorite beverage for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Use your fitness program of choices, and you will feel great while losing weight the very first week.
Most people begin with our Shakeology Cleanse Program, which includes Shakeology mixed with water three times during the day every 3 hours, with a healthy fruit snack and a lean protein and vegetables for dinner. This is done for three consecutive days . If you often crave for food and feel lethargic, the hormone balancing ingredients will help you block cravings, boost energy and you’ll be hooked on the feeling by the end of the cleanse.

During the cleanse I recommend you log in to your account and set up your workout program in the Supergym. It will make it easier to workout. Just log in every morning (or afternoon if that is better for you) and do the workout scheduled. When you push Play in Supergym you will be entered to win up to $500 every time you workout. The combination of the Shakeology, healthy meal planning (you get the meal planning tool and recipes in the Club Membership) and the workout program you chose will start impacting the way you feel very quickly. It should help you stay motivated by the energized feeling and excitement you get as you slowly take your program to the next level.

Fitness challenges can give us more insight into our progression and ultimately inspiring us to push ourselves that little bit harder than ever before to achieve the results we want. By week four you’ll start to see changes in your abilities and your body. Within six – eight weeks your closest friends will see the changes in you. By the end of the program everyone will want to know what it is that you’ve been doing to look so great.
There are always plenty of new ideas being developed for the fitness market aimed at supporting our continuing quest for a challenge. I love that with the Beachbody programs there are all sorts of ways to continue the challenge beyond your first 60 or 90 day go at it. Hybrid programs, more recipes, more ways to enjoy your Shakeology, more ways to rev up your metabolism… and continued support from your friends, your family and the amazing Beachbody Family, including your coach… and that’s me.

Ask your family to join you. Hold a family meeting to kick off your family fitness challenge. Solicit everyone’s ideas — even your little kids can take part — for a goal to work toward. You might want to target healthy eating, increased physical activity, new strength goals, or less screen time. Spell out exactly what you’re hoping to achieve and what you’ll need to do to get there. The more support you have the better your chances are of success.
It’s time to lead your life, and stop following those people that have just grown comfortable in being where they are at. Health is essential to living the best life with your friends and family members. Taking on this challenge will allow others to follow your lead, including your children. They’ve discovered that it’s during our youth that we are actually multiplying our fat cells. Once you are an adult you can’t get rid of them, only shrink them. Children need adults to teach them about foods that are healthy for their bodies as well as to model eating healthy foods. They need to learn about what it takes to engage themselves in physical fitness on a daily basis. You can lead by example, and change your financial life as well.

Lead your own challenge group. Create a fit club. You can become a coach and be the leader and become what you’ve always wanted to become. If you are interested, you can sign up as a coach, and get your coaches fee waived when you purchase your Challenge Pack. Imagine… getting a business, the motivation, and the results for the same price you were going to spend anyway.

Just six weeks into these results. Join me!
It’s easy to lose sight of where you are, and where you’ve come from. That is why I love using accountability pictures to share how your body is changing. You don’t need to share them with everyone, like I do. But it sure does keep me real.
I have felt like I was getting in a funk with my fitness lately, and didn’t feel like I was seeing any changes. I took pictures on September 3oth last, so today I decided to take pictures again. WELL… to my surprise I am seeing big changes. Look at that V-Taper!
But you don’t get results without first taking action. Come join me today and let’s challenge each other to our personal best! http://ow.ly/7g1hv
And what the last six weeks brought me….
Don’t give up… you can do this too. Join my 90 Day Challenge and I’ll support the changes that you need to make in your life.

Want to be organic in business??
So, like many of us you may have thought about starting your own business in this economy. It’s a great idea. It’s a great way to bring your life into order, and you get to be in control of where you are going. So where do you start? Well you have to have an idea, and I’m going to share some great ideas with you. Every week I’ll share a new idea with you on a great organic business you can start from home. This week it’s an Organic Residential/Commercial Cleaning Business.
1. Organic Residential/Commercial Cleaning Business: A very easy to start up business, cleaning. But take the high road and use organic and green cleaning supplies. Also offer to come and get families started cleaning organically on their own by doing Residential Green Home classes. A great get started company would be, Green Irene. (http://www.greenirene.com/)Â They have these great cleaners, and they say that “Green Irene believes that plant-derived enzymes are a better way to clean, eliminate odors and maintain a healthy home. We use task specific enzymes that pinpoint their targets and go to work rapidly biodegrading organic materials into their basic elements. Our cleaners are non-toxic, non-caustic, hypoallergenic and safe for human, animal, and plant life. They are free of harsh fumes and vapors, phosphates, chlorine and contain no petroleum-based ingredients. Enzymes completely remove odors leaving the room smelling fresh without strong fragrances.” What a great way you could introduce families to a greener way of living. There are a number of companies that offer you green products, like Shaklee, that you could get into easily and have all of the initial materials to get started. Google and find them. One may be just right for you.
You could also just make your own cleaners to use in homes, and teach other how to make their own. Here is a great article about making your own cleaners – http://www.non-toxickids.net/2010/09/make-your-own-green-cleaning-products.html.
Also in the evenings you can offer companies the service of cleaning their space with clean, organic, healthy cleaning supplies so that they have healthier employees, and healthier clients. Many companies would love to add this to their wellness program by allowing you to come in and clean, as well as teach the employees how to clean greener at home and thus be more efficient at work because they don’t have all of those chemicals in their systems slowing them and their brains down.
So – there you have it. Go green and make green on the way.
