Yes, working out is a staple in my life. As I'm sure it is yours. I guess you could say it's like a glue. It's how so many other pieces stay in check and in balance.

However, you know as well as I do that not all workouts are created equal.

I come from a time when I was one of the only chicks in the weight room at the gym and all the other ladies were in the hi/lo aerobics class upstairs in their Reeboks making the ceiling rumble.

Ok, ok.... I was also an "aerobics" instructor too -ugh! that's what we called it back then. blah! Now it's "Group Fitness Instructor" thank god.

But the classes I loved to teach (and take) were kickboxing (read: tae bo), spin, step and strength (then we called it "sculpt" or "toning"). No hi/lo for me thanks!
Why did I love these in particular? Because they delivered the best results for a woman's body.
Well.... kind of.

The fitness industry was fairly new when I started in the 90's. I mean, gyms have only been around a few decades at this point. That's not very long in the grand scheme of things.

So, back then there were 5 things we royally messed up. In fact, I still see those mistakes still happening NOW in 2018. #mindblowing

They are as follows....

Mess Up #1: Too much f-ing CARDIO. YES. Yes, my lovelies, it's true. In fact all that excessive cardio is working against us as women, especially once we enter our 40's and 50's. There was a reason we were called AEROBIC instructors. #bigfail
Why too much cardio? Because as we age, we lose muscle & muscle takes energy to sustain itself. So, if we lose muscle as we age (and chronic cardio is part of that break down and depletion) we are unable to use calories from the food we eat the same way as when we were younger when we had more natural muscle on our frames.  
Let's not even talk about repetitive movement and its impact on joints... that's an article for another time.

The REALFit Solution: Dedicate no more than 2 days a week to cardio. (3 if you MUST) And REST days are a non-negotiable. Build them in as part of your strategy and your results will skyrocket. When you give your body a break, it can actually do something magical with all of the work you had put it through. Only with rest will it rebuild, repair and get more defined.

Mess Up #2: MORE is NOT better. Another major mistake we made (and as I said, some gyms and online fitness sites are still making) is that somehow the message has been "more is better"... 60 minute classes, 90 minute classes, 2 hour weekend warriors. Walking on the dreadmill day in and day out.... and that couldn't be farther from the truth of effectiveness.

The REALFit Solution: No need to spend 60+ minutes doing cardio. RealFit workouts take less time and help you increase intensity as you improve your form and your body. This is the type of training your health and your metabolism will thank you for.
In RealFit All Access, you begin to start cutting your current cardio time in half while interweaving strength moves so you can be witness to watching your body change, your metabolism improve and your quality of life soar. It's exciting to know that you can then use that time and energy for other amazing things - like being with your friends, your family or pursuing things that make you a happier person.

Mess Up #3: Not all strength training makes you BULK UP. Let's be real here. "bulking" is subjective AND it is also based on the old school Arnold days of split-day routines with low reps, isolated muscle work, heavy weights and massive protein consumption that is the equivalent to your body weight in pounds. #unrealistic #youllhavetoquityourdayjobtomakethishappen

The REALFit Solution: Total body strength training for no longer than 45 minutes a session (I prefer 30 minutes) lifting weights that make you FEEL like you are doing cardio. In other words, cardio & strength combo workouts that keep your muscle growth long & lean and your calorie burn high, even after the workout is over. (side note: cardio alone doesn't do that for you)

Mess Up #4: WHAT you do DURING your workout session actually matters. It's not just about throwing your limbs around, jumping as high as you can and having the sweat to "prove" you've worked out. Teaching you proper form is something that has been severely lacking in fitness programs for years. Just because you sweat, that doesn't mean you're actually doing an effective workout. Sweat is just an indicator that your body knows how to cool itself off.

The REALFit Solution: Practice safe sets. HOW you throw a punch, lift a dumbbell, pedal your spin bike, or do a simple body squat ALL MATTER. That repitition over time can either make you or break you. You want your form to be the best it can be, not just for a maximum calorie burn, but for the safety of your joints in the long run.... or ummm lift.

Mess Up #5: Dieting became an INTERnational disaster. What got us into such a mess with our food obsession, workout compulsion, neverending "battle with the bulge" and our CONSTANT "I need to lose weight" mentality started with the mere notion that a diet was the answer. The whole idea of restricting your food is what got you off track in the first place and then got you stuck in the cycle of self torture. Food is not the enemy. Neither is your body.

Enter: RealFit All Access Fitness & Mindset Program

✓    Women ages 30-50 who workout at home and are bored of the same old workout videos with scantily clad women spewing the same old typically-scripted fitness and diet jargon (roll eyes)

✓    A woman who is sick of yo-yo dieting and cares more about her overall health and keeping weight off for the long-term (who want to end the dieting and still look amazing!)

✓    A woman who appreciates awesome music and the power it has to take her workout to the next level.

✓    A woman who seeks the flexibility of being able to cue up any workout she wants when she wants it, depending on her mood, her time-frame, and her schedule.

✓    A woman who wants to work with a female trainer for body, mind, and spirit in an affordable way. Who can help her put the pieces together without having to join a gym or find a local trainer that fits the bill.

✓    A woman who seeks a community who also prioritizes personal improvement. Where everyone's goal is to better themselves, inside and out.

✓    A woman who loves to get her ass kicked and loves a new challenge. Maybe hasn't gotten into yoga yet, but would be open to trying it if it's going to make everything in life a bit more enjoyable (including other workouts)

✓    A woman who goes to the gym, but also seeks the things above as a compliment to her existing routine so she feels unstoppable!

✓    A woman who is not offended by the F-bomb. I use colorful language from time to time and I often use uncensored music.

✓ Women who haven't worked out in years. RealFit workouts are intermediate to advanced.

✓ Guys. Yes, we have a couple male members, but the coaching videos and workout routines are aimed towards a woman's physique, female goals and topics that unique to a woman.

✓ A woman who has a hard time sticking to a workout routine. RealFit is best suited for a regular exerciser who is fairly self-motivated and disciplined. She just wants better guidance in how to put it all together.

✓ A women who still believes all of the answers lie in the next diet or fitness plan. RealFit is a sustainable approach to living a life you love in a body you love. There is no talk of counting calories or macros and definitely no talk of "more is better" when it comes to working out. We respect rest days and use them as part of the strategy for fat loss.

✓ A woman who is not willing to invest money in her health and believes that "free" or "cheap" is going to get her the transformation she is seeking. Truth: transformation happens in the transaction. In other words, when you are ready to energetically put your money into something you care about changing, you & your body will change.

✓ A woman who thinks she can figure out weight loss and learning to love her body on her own. ...Excellent! That means you have a ton of patience and tons of time to waste.

✓  A woman who just wants to be told what to do. RealFit is a method of getting the training you need for the results you want, which means not every woman is the same. RealFit is not a cookie-cutter program that spews out the same formula for every woman to follow. Every member of RealFit comes with her own background, her own body type, dieting history and future goals for herself. RealFit is a journey to find your own formula with the guidance of an expert trainer and a supportive community.

✓ A woman who is offended by adult language. I do not censor myself, or my music as your trainer and coach. That means I drop the F-bomb once in awhile when I deem necessary.

FAQ's About RealResults:

1. What equipment do I need for this program?
You'll need internet access to stream each video (whether that’s workout videos, mindset videos, cooking videos or access to the private Facebook Members Only group)
You can use the equipment you already have! This is the equipment we use:
RealFit Ride: Spin bike, dumbbells if you choose the “spinterval” option where I incorporate weight training off the bike.

RealFit HIIT: Mostly body weight, but sometimes I use similar equipment to strength workouts above.
RealFit Step: Step (with risers) & a mat, sometimes dumbbells.


2. Does this program include nutrition?
Not directly. Nutrition is very individual, which means there are numerous variables involved in what is "healthy" for one person and "not healthy" for another.
You will also find that your nutrition needs change throughout different chapters in your life. Pregnancy vs menopause for example... totally different needs!
I am however, an advocate of whole food eating in general. It's always a good idea to consume more of the foods our bodies recognize from the earth, than opting to eat food-like products from boxes, packages and bottles.  
The most important thing for you to know is that this program includes the mindset component that is vital for you to understand your relationship with food and dieting. When you get that connection, the best food choices for your results become easy. For reelz.

3. What results can I expect to achieve?
The main goal is to give the training you need so you can get the results you WANT.
Along the way, you will discover the awesome things your body can do, and progressively do over time.
The objective is to have fun, get stronger, and improve how you feel about yourself. Yes, you'll likely lose fat and build muscle; those benefits are side effects from becoming an even more awesome YOU.

4. What if I have a question or I am stuck at any point?
I, Dana Lee, am your coach throughout this program and you will have access to me through the private Facebook group and by commenting under any of the videos in the member’s area where your program is accessed.  
5. Are there other women like me in the program?
The women in this program are in their 30’s, 40’s & 50's. They know cardio workouts all to well, most have come from the VHS & DVD world of working out.
Everyone here in RealFit All Access is sick of the calorie counting (or macro counting) methods that have driven them to be obsessed they are tired of the cyclical weight gain that comes from yo-yo dieting.
Some RealFitters are moms, some run businesses, some are teachers, or hold other professional positions.
Main things in common: They all work out at home and they all care about improving themselves inside and out for the long haul. They seek the mindset training to help get them there faster (and with way more fun) than doing it by themselves or with fitness or diet alone. (read: they are here for the shortest route to success possible)

6. Is this program good for beginners?
This program will be fine if it’s been a few months since you’ve exercised regularly, however it’s not recommended for women who haven’t worked out in years.
My goal is for you to feel successful. So perhaps if you are the latter, this will inspire you to get into a regular routine again so when this program becomes available future, you will be ready to go! 

7. Will I get bored with this workout plan?
NO WAY! We have RealFitters who joined when this program first opened in January of 2014 and they continue to stay involved and put in workout requests. With over 300 videos to choose, nope. Boredom is definitely not an issue 'round here.

8. What are the payment options?
You can pay monthly or for receive 1 months free if you pay semi-annually.
I see mindset, food and fitness as an ever-evolving part of our health. Rather than go program hopping every couple of months, I created a long-term solution so you can put your energy into other things. It can be a relief to know this part for your life is taken care of.
There is however, an option to cancel anytime. Stay for as long as it works for you! For some it may be seasons, for some it's years. :-)
