Los Gatos, CA - Audra Baker, the owner of RedShift Fitness is on a mission to change the shape of people everywhere. Her “Your Best Body Challenge” could help hundreds of people transform their bodies in 12 weeks, free of charge.

“There’s no cost to participate in the challenge,” says Audra “all we ask is that each person make a small, one-time $10 donation to The Boys and Girls Club of Silicon Valley. That’s it.”

Audra’s “Your Best Body Challenge” is part of the fitness and weight loss contest phenomenon started by the hit TV show, The Biggest Loser. “That show really focused the nation’s attention on the benefits of participating in a contest, guided by certified personal trainers, in terms of the motivation and accountability necessary for success,” explains Audra “It’s difficult to lose weight on your own. Anyone who’s tried and struggled knows that – and unfortunately, that’s the majority.”

At www.redshiftfitness.com Audra gives the details of the challenge and provides a complete guide that can be downloaded instantly, containing instructions, questions and answers, rules and regulations, prizes awarded to winners and even a complete 12-week exercise and nutrition program.

“Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to participate,” Audra says. “We want to help as many people as we can, and this is the best way to do that.”

Many local business have agreed to sponsor the challenge by helping spread the word and provide many of the prizes awarded to the Your Best Body Grand Champion and two runners up. “It’s definitely a town effort,” says Audra, “we couldn’t do this without a lot of help. We’re all very grateful for the way this challenge is being received and look forward to helping a lot of folks lose the weight and get into great shape.”

Day 2 Headaches and 400’s

December 2, 2009

I almost didn’t workout today. I’ve had a constant low-grade headache all day because of the caffeine withdrawals! But the workout felt great and actually helped me feel a little better.

The workout is called, 400’s for butt and abs. It really targets my trouble spots while keeping my heart rate high the entire time! I hope you like it and I hope you try it out yourself!

Here’s the workout:

20 reps Skaters
20 reps plank with knee to elbow
20 reps diagonal chops with medicine ball
20 reps single leg touch down jump with medicine ball

Go through the circuit 5 times to get a total rep count of 400

My personal diary:

It’s definitely easier to NOT eat things I know I’m not supposed to when I know that I have to share it with you. The hardest part of this day was dealing with my headache. I drink green tea, but it really didn’t do anything to tame my headache. I’m not a big green tea fan, but I know it’s good for you and has a ton less caffeine than coffee, so I wanted to share the brand I like best. It actually combines Yurba Mate and green tea and has a nice, smooth taste. I can’t find it anywhere here so I always order through amazon.

I still have random food in the house and really haven’t planned anything. I have a delicious turkey chili I made, a few weeks ago…but I keep forgetting to take it out of the freezer to thaw! Grrrrr!

I’m off to teach the evening Bootcamp in Campbell, and I’m sure there will be an evening run to whole foods to make sure I stay on course while my chili thaws for tomorrow!

Again….I’m only day two into this. Right now it’s all new, so the novelty of it hasn’t worn off yet. I’m excited to start sharing with you my more “human” moments. : ) Around the corner, I’m sure.

Food!

Breakfast:
Bowl of steel cut oats with chopped up prunes, flax, egg whites and green tea

Snack:
Apple w/ almond butter and another cup of green tea (which still didn’t kill the headache!)

Lunch:

Green salad with the leftover rotisserie chicken, tomato and carrots with a little olive oil and balsalmic (definitely not the tastiest salad I’ve made, but the picture makes it look fabulous!)
Bowl of chicken and veggie soup
2 tangerines

Post workout:
1 container of muscle milk light (again…I’m not endorsing it. You’ll see many different post workout meals that I consume…this is just what I happen to have in the house right now.

Dinner:

Bowl of clam chowder soup. Definitely not ideal, but considering the lack of food choices in my pantry, I thought this was the best.

PS…I did finally did weigh myself and I am sad to say that it’s the heaviest I’ve ever been. I’m at 153 pounds. My “fighting” weight…or I should say, the weight I feel the best at and look super hot dancing salsa is around 135. I haven’t seen that number this year and am now a full 18 pounds away. As much as I’d like to say I’m devastated and consumed with anger and sadness, the truth is I feel great right now because I’m doing something about it.

It’s amazing what can happen once you make a commitment and have a plan in place. I feel very excited to be doing this right now, but more importantly, very focused on the task at hand. I really can’t wait to start sharing my results with you.

I’ll be doing a weigh in each week and measurements every 2 weeks to keep me on track and to keep you posted on my progress!
