Think about the three people in your life who need you the most. Who comes to mind? A spouse? Partner? Child? Parent? Colleague? Friend?

Believe it or not, all these people need you to be more SELFISH!

Here’s what I mean…When you take the time to actually take great care of yourself - even when that feels “selfish” - the people who depend on you benefit. A stronger, healthier YOU is better for everyone!

One area where I’d like to help you ...

The classic fairy tales all seem to have the same underlying story: Sweet young girl gets caught up in some terrible situation, and a knight/prince/hero swoops in to rescue her.

They’re just fairy tales, yet, we often live our lives as if they were true, don’t we? We feel trapped in some prison of unhappiness, but we sit and wait for our rescuer to burst through the door and save us.

Well in today’s workshop, I have some good news and some b...

We’ve now covered the first three Groove Truths...

1. You are Unique
2. No One Cares What You Look Like
3. Your Way is the right way

It’s time to put them into practice.

Embracing these Groove Truths is a roadmap to finding your true health and happiness, and I so want you to experience this for yourself. However, no one can do it for you. You’ve got to be the one to put everything into practice, and it will take practice. That’s becau...

Are you ready to push some boundaries? I’m talking where you really let loose and discover things about your body and yourself that haven’t really explored yet. Today’s workshop lesson – which is also your workout – is going to help you do this.

I warn you though; you can only truly discover these things about yourself when you embrace the idea that Your Way is the Right Way.

Do not let fear restrict you!!!

As you’ll see in the session, d...

For the longest time I used to beat myself up with exercise. I fell for the NO-PAIN, NO-GAIN lie that had me punishing my body in order to look and feel better. When I got home at night after teaching these types of fitness classes, I would collapse onto my bed, barely able to move because of the pain in my body.

Today, even though I’m nearly 50, I’m virtually pain free. In today’s workshop session, we’ll talk about the one change that has made ...

Advertisers can’t sell us things unless they can convince us that we have a problem that can be solved by buying their product so they bombard us with messages that convince us that we are broken.

Think about the typical “fitness” infomercial. A big percentage of the air time is devoted to showing you footage of wildly unrealistic “fitness models”. Why? To show you what’s possible when you spend $2,500 on a home gym? No - those models didn’t st...

These last couple of days we’ve talked about the first 2 Groove truths...

1. No one cares what you look like
2. You are unique

These truths serve as the foundation for you learning to love yourself.

When you stop worrying about what others think and embrace your own uniqueness, that’s when the magic can really happen. While these truths are easy to talk about, they’re actually more difficult to put into practice but that’s why we dance. ...

For years, I made a HUGE mistake. I was SURE that everyone was constantly looking at me. I was so 100% CONVINCED that everyone around me was judging me that I spent my whole life doing everything for other people’s approval. The clothes I wore, the car I drove, the area I lived in, even my job.

Everything about my life was done to keep up a certain “acceptable” appearance. In fact, my whole sense of importance and self-worth was dependent on ma...

We’ve been talking a lot lately about the things that make you special and unique.

If you don’t know by now... please allow me to remind how much of an amazing person you are.

You have so many gifts that make you special and today it’s time for you to recognize how these unique gifts can bless your life and the life of the people around you.

But you’re going to need your pen and paper as today’s workshop is going to require some writing...

Before you go through today’s workshop, you’re going to need a simple handheld mirror. Or, you’ll need to be in front of a mirror. You’ll know why soon.

I’m really excited to introduce you to some truths that are the foundation of the entire Body Groove Movement.

The first truth is: YOU ARE A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL
Even though there are nearly seven billion people in the world, no two people are exactly the same. While we share many characterist...

Before we get started today, I want you to do two things: First, make sure you are alone. You’ll see why in a minute. Second, I want you to remember that YOU CANNOT GET THIS WRONG!

Got it? Let’s dive in.

This exercise is all I want you to do today. Tomorrow, we’ll get back to more challenging workouts.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:
As you go about your day today, I want you to give yourself permission to feel amazing. That will mean something diffe...

Imagine if it were actually IMPOSSIBLE to have negative thoughts about yourself?

Imagine, for example, that when you looked in the mirror, you could only see yourself positively instead of finding fault?

Imagine if every time you danced, you felt like the greatest dancer in the world, no matter how you moved?

Imagine if you examined your life and only saw the ways you’re making progress towards improvement?

Do you think that without a...

Welcome back.

You know, back on day 7 we started to talk a little about loving yourself and how that can be hard. We started with a simple exercise to have you treat yourself like you would treat your best friend.

Today, we're going to take this exercise further.

I’ve come to learn that many of the women I work with struggle to not only love themselves, but to even grasp what “loving yourself” would look like.

Right now, in this very ...

Welcome back to your Body Groove 30 Day Discovery Challenge!

Right now you’re on Day 9 and I want to make one thing crystal clear before we go on.

Wherever you’re at with the challenge, whether you’ve done every single one, missed a few, or are even just getting started today, it’s all PERFECT just the way it is!

Judging yourself and comparing yourself to “what could’ve been” will do you no good. In fact, it’ll reverse or delay any progre...

For today’s 30 Day Challenge coaching session, I want you to take a break. Take a break from introspection. Take a break from journaling. As for your groove today, I want you to give your body a very relaxing floor workout from Mindful Movement.

Relaxation and stillness aren’t always as easy as they look so it'll be great to do something that you probably don't always do, but definitely should.

Tomorrow, we’ll talk about how we can harness t...

Yesterday we talked about how you weren’t born to hate yourself and that you should love yourself instead. Well, that can be easier said than done.

If you’re struggling with loving and valuing yourself, then today's challenge is especially for you. When you watch today's video, you'll understand what I’m talking about. So, watch right now and then come back.

-------------------

So often, when people tell you to love yourself, that sort of ...

Welcome back to Day 6 of your 30 Day Body Groove Discover Challenge!

Congrats on making it through so far. It’s nearly been a week! There truly is magic in momentum, so stay the course and watch what unfolds as you simply fall in love with this daily process!

In today’s workshop lesson, I share with you about my 16-year battle with bulimia. Hold tight because today we’re going DEEP. I do this because even though my story isn't pretty, I know ...

Welcome back to Day 5 of your 30 Day Body Groove Discovery Challenge!

As a fitness trainer, I was constantly telling my students and clients “No pain, no gain”. It’s not that I was trying to deceive people. At the time I wholeheartedly believed that in order to get healthy, I needed to punish my body until it hurt. I was convinced that this was universally true for everyone. Perhaps you’ve heard that line before? The fact is, pain is your body’s...

Welcome back to Day 4 of your 30 Day Body Groove Discovery Challenge!

Today we’re going to talk about the amazing healing power of dance. But first, we need to talk about how you are currently coping with stress and anxiety. They’re an unavoidable fact of life. Certainly, there are lots of things we can and should do to reduce the stress in our lives, but we can never get rid of it completely.

The REAL question is...what are you going to do ...

Welcome back to Day 3 of your 30 Day Body Groove Discovery Challenge!

For today’s coaching session, we’re simply going to dance to a variety of routines from the Body Groove collection, but one in particular. It’s called Guilt and it’s from my House Party video collection. This special routine is a great workout that will do wonders for your strength and flexibility, but there’s also a hidden challenge in it. In this workout, I specifically ask ...

Welcome back to Day 2 of your 30 Day Body Groove Discovery Challenge!

I hope you had the chance to think about yesterday's activity and to write down the things in your life that you’d like to work on.

Today, we’re going to talk about the importance AND the limitations of coaches, advisors and mentors. Before we watch today’s workshop videos, let’s talk about the vital importance of having coaches in your life.

Like many of you, I enjoy wa...

Today’s workshop exercise is an assessment of your current life situation.

I want you to spend some time asking yourself the same question I asked myself, ”Is this as good as it gets?”

I’m guessing that you can immediately see some areas of your life where you feel things could be better. But don’t rush this exercise...spend as much time as you need to think about things in your life that could be better. (I recommend writing down what comes ...

To create these workouts, I worked with some of my favorite music producers to create brand new music that will absolutely make you want to get up and dance.

Then, I invited a handful of friends over for a dance party - friends of all shapes and sizes who have one thing in common: they hate to "workout" but they love to dance!

Delicious Dance is a great introduction to Body Groove. If you've never tried it before, I recommend starting with Series 1.
