I Became A BeachBody Coach!

The decision to become a beachbody coach was not an easy one. I love their workouts and meal plans but the idea of putting myself out there and, in my mind, being responsible for others success made me nervous. I also wasn't sure I would have enough time to dedicate to the business. In short, I was on the fence!

Then I posted a picture to my instagram. This one in fact.

I posted the picture letting my friends and the #instafit world know that I was starting piyo the next day and I was excited. I got a bunch of likes...which is always nice ha! But, what struck me was a stranger's comment. He was the third or fourth person to ask me if I was a coach. I told him my coach thought I'd be good at it and had encouraged me to join, but I was scared.

Putting yourself out there is scary, especially for an introvert like myself. I knew if I did this, I would want to put my all into it and I wasn't sure if I was up to the task. I'm not in the shape I want to be yet; I'm still on my journey, and if I'm honest with myself, at the beginning of that journey. How could I, Ms. Still Overweight and stumbling through her workouts, be a good coach to someone else?

Pondering that question is what made me realize my struggles are what would make me relatable. I understand the struggle of not going for the ice cream when you have a craving or forcing yourself out of bed an hour before you want to get up. I understand it's not easy and it's a learning process. Instead of being a coach that's already reached her goals and is in the best shape asking people to do the same, I'll be the one who's huffing and puffing along with everyone...the one who can enjoy the victory at the end because I was a part along the way, not just someone who stood on the outside telling everyone how to do it.

While I'm still nervous, it's a good nervous. It's one that will allow me to help others become the best version of themselves!
