MOMS- It’s a freaking blatant LIE that you have to “let yourself go” after you have kids or believe that “my best body was from my early 20’s” or other things your great aunt & elderly neighbor have (in love) told you.

^^^It tugs at my heart whenever I hear that…not because it doesn’t happen, but when moms have heard it so much they believe it to be truth😔

I hope I can show you otherwise.

Let me be crystal clear.
There’s probably not a whole lot I would change about my college years. I enjoyed that time in my life.

Let me be crystal clear.
Solely getting in shape isn’t going to make you happy. Said it, meant it. But leading a healthy lifestyle & fueling your body correctly WILL help your body operate at an optimum state…and spill over other parts of your life.

Let me be crystal clear.
I believe so strongly in self love, no matter what you look like. I’m happy in BOTH these photos. In each one, I’m having a good day with my favorite little people💕 But today, I feel so much more confident in myself and my ability to leave an impact on other people’s’ lives. Of course I will attribute some of that to growing up over the course of a decade, but if I’m being honest I’m also really proud of the work I’ve put in to living a healthy lifestyle for my family.

My Team Vision

January 30, 2017 Ali SchroederLeave a comment

What did you want to be when you grew up?

As a youngster I probably had big dreams of being a whale trainer or working at the McDonald’s playplace, but as I hit high school they were more like: teacher, athletic trainer, veterinarian, or some sort of counseling. Even in college I didn’t necessarily have a concrete answer, but I did have two requirements: be wildly passionate about the work I do while being present for my future family.

A few years later…here I am living that out. “Grateful” doesn’t even begin to describe how fortunate I feel that I’ve been exposed to my IDEAL job so early in life. Wanna know what I REALLY do?? I help people live healthy more fulfilling lives and mentor others to do the same…while working from my house.

As my team grows, so does the vision for this community.
Some days it’s a little foggy, other days it’s crystal clear.

The crystal clear part looks like this:

-I want nothing more than to foster a culture for my team where we KNOW & whole-heartedly BELIEVE we can make a difference.

-I’m working to build a place where the focus is on lifting each other up, knowing there is room for each of us at the top.

-I see resiliency in my tribe as we work through struggles, but never enough to hold us back.

-Growth & steadfastness are at the core…knowing we are always working to be better people from the inside out.

We call ourselves &BEYOND – a constant reminder to push beyond our limits; to live beyond ourselves.

As I move forward side-by-side with the rest of my team, it fills me up more than anything when they catch on to this vision, see their own potential, stand up for what they hold dear, and ultimately create a life of FREEDOM for their families.

This train is leaving with a remarkable crew already aboard.

We have room for you, too.

Have you heard of EVEN Hotels?

Have you heard of Even Hotels?
Me either.

This morning I booked our stay in NYC at an EVEN Hotel…solely based on price & location. Really.

The website boasted a “happy, healthy place” that “welcomes wellness-minded travelers”…I thought it was an interesting claim & mostly just marketing, but wasn’t really expecting a follow through.

After digging a little further, though, EVERY ROOM has an “in room training zone & fitness kit” (take a peek at this stock pile photo –a yoga ball & resistance bands included?! AWESOME). …and I have Beachbody On Demand that will stream the same workouts I’m used to back home in San Diego.

I don’t even have to awkwardly go to the hotel gym and stream from my phone while people give me funny looks. #beentheredonethat It’s like they know I workout from home!

I think this hotel was made specifically for coaches.

Other perks include: spa like showers, cooling eucalyptus sheets, black out shades, coffee maker & refrigerator (hard to come by in New York, it seems), and with all of that in the room … I can only imagine the ambiance of the public space and the food options!

I’m REALLY excited to check-in! Not sure I’ve ever felt this way about a hotel before🤔

Expect a blog post & review in a few weeks🙌🏻

What you need to know about “Core de Force”

October 19, 2016October 19, 2016 Ali SchroederLeave a comment

Core de Force is the newest Mixed Martial Arts style workout and it’s getting A LOT of attention. Here’s what you need to know!

WHAT IS CORE DE FORCE?
Core de Force is the newest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) style fitness program.

WHO IS CORE DE FORCE FOR?
Core de Force is for anyone looking for a total body transformation. It isn’t necessarily a weight loss program, but of course those results are likely.

WHAT IS CORE DE FORCE LIKE?
Core de Force is high intensity, high impact workout. It’s almost entirely cardio with interval training built right into each round. It’s designed for people who need to get moving.

WHO ARE THE TRAINERS?
Joel Freeman & Jericho McMatthews

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
There is no equipment necessary; you’ll use your own body weight for resistance.

HOW LONG IS CORE DE FORCE?
Core de Force is a 30 day program. The workouts are between 30-45 minutes.

IS THERE A MODIFIER?
Yes. Every move has a modification to follow as you work up to the full move. The modifier isn’t necessarily “easier”…simply lower impact.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT’S ALREADY OUT THERE?
The biggest difference: authenticity. Joel & Jericho spent over 18 months getting this one right. Their who goal was to keep it AUTHENTIC to MMA.

HOW DID THEY DO THAT?
-They themed it with 3 minute rounds (there’s even a bell!)
-They took the moves OFF the beat of music.
-They trained in a boxing gym.
-They consulted muay thai fighters.
-They scratched any moves fighters said they’d never use in a fight.

WHAT IS THE FOOD PLAN LIKE?
Very simple…plan on eating A LOT of food. Because this is a high intensity workout, you’ll be fueling your body and eating MORE than normal..including carbs (yay!). There are delicious recipes included like BBQ Chicken Pizza and Kobe Protein Burgers. The portion containers are optional.

WHAT SUPPLEMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED TO COMPLEMENT CORE DE FORCE?
The Performance Line & Shakeology are recommended for maximum performance.

CAN I TRY CORE DE FORCE BEFORE I BUY IT?
Yes! On October 24th for one day only, there is a free preview of an entire workout available on Beachbody On Demand. For every ONE person that tries Core de Force, Beachbody will donate $10 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Ask me how to get the sneak peek; I’ll direct you!
