Lean Trim Diana Here! Morning! Today is Double Whammy day! Here are two people and their awesome results on our weight loss coffee and other healthy beverages:) www.leantrimcoffee.com
TOM - It's time I share my before and current pictures. We started Oct 2015 on this journey, and now I'm maintaining my weight loss by following the same 12in24 Plan that brought on my lifestyle change.
Having to buy new clothes is a good thing. Back when we started I was wearing 40" waist relaxed jeans and now I'm wearing 32" waist regular jeans. Went from relaxed large shirts to fitted regular shirts.
There has been NO gym or any other work out program used to assist in this change. Just the three products of the 12in24 Plan.
When we started buying the products, our food budget was stretched more then we liked, yet we started. Now, our food budget has dropped by about 2/3 of what we used to spend monthly. Moral of this story, drop weight, get healthy, SAVE MONEY!
MEGAN - Want to keep yall posted on my progress 😍😍
When i started with the weight loss products i was always tired ( took daily naps ) i was bored eating, headaches, had cravings and had no energy to do much! Im in my 20s.....and felt like i shouldnt be tired to this extent lol!!! I even hired a trainer to help me lose, and i didnt even go 😣😣
I am so thankful I have aligned myself with this business! It saved me on so many levels MANY MANY thanks to all of you!!! I now dont take naps, i dont take pain medicine, have a huge amouny of energy, and its so amazing to be losing weight and inches.
I drink 1 coffee in the AM. Then once we launched the keto creamer, i now drink 1 coffee with 1 scoop keto in it.
LOVE THE KETO CREAMER, GET IT IF YOU HAVE NOT YET!!!
Have you ever wondered how website pages made it to the first page of Google? Or better yet, ever wonder how they remain on that first page for what seems like ages? The answer can be summarized into four categories:
On-Page SEO
Off-Page SEO
Social Media Sharing
Call to Action (CTA)
On-Page SEO
In order to create high-performing pages on your site you will need to incorporate all of these into your optimization strategy. Let’s dive deeper into why these four categories are so effective.
The main emphasis with on-page SEO is consistency. Making sure that the keyword is uniform across several elements on a page can be crucial to organic success. So where should the main keyword be implemented?
Here are some best practices for implementing your main keyword for that page:
Place it in the URL of that page
Place it in the Title Tag element of that page
Place it within the main header (or H1 tag) of that page
Use the keyword and several variations within the content
Place it within the Meta Description element of that page
Search engine bots want to see that you have given the proper amount of attention to a keyword by giving it a unique page. Pages that include multiple keywords that aren’t related could potentially harm your site since this practice usually causes a poor user experience. And your user experience is everything nowadays.
Off-Page SEO
Off-page SEO is the practice of interacting with other websites. A large part of off-page SEO is link building. Building inbound links is crucial to your organic success since search engines view them as a “vote of confidence” to your site.
There are a few things that you can do to ensure that you are obtaining the right inbound links for your site:
Measure the total number of inbound links that your site currently has with a tool like Majestic, or Open Site Explorer.
Check your top-linked pages.
Check the number of linking domains.
Audit your anchor text and eliminate anything that looks remotely spammy.
Compare these metrics with your competitors to see how you match up.
Monitoring your inbound links can help you discover new avenues for obtaining more relevant and authoritative links. It can also help you prevent any Google penalties, like Penguin.
Social Sharing
The next step is to adopt a social sharing method. Social Media is still considered the “Wild West” to most companies, and many of them are falling behind. The more likes, retweets, comments, and shares a specific page has, the more authoritative it will seem to your users and search engines.
That’s right I said search engines too!
Search engines are constantly working to develop more complex algorithms to understand social metrics and incorporate them into their ranking system. So why wouldn’t you utilize social?
Begin by creating and optimizing business profiles on these platforms:
Facebook
Twitter
Linkedin
Google +
Some platforms work better for certain industries, so do your research and focus on the ones that your buyer personas would regularly visit.
Calls To Action
Last, but not least, are your calls to action. This concept can be broken down into three main subjects:
Calls-to-Action Button (CTA) – This gives a user an opportunity to take action on your offer. They can be placed on any web page.
Landing Pages – When a user clicks on your CTA button it will take them to a landing page where they will be prompted to fill out a form.
Thank You Pages – This is where you finally deliver your content offer to your new lead.
Make sure that you truly understand your buyer personas, and personalize all three of these areas to improve your conversion rates.
Now you are ready to convert more website visits into leads! Implement these tips and monitor your website’s analytics to ensure that you are increasing your organic visibility. The gobs of traffic you will receive from just implementing these four strategies will leave you breathless.

Sports Food: Diet For Athletics
By: John Perkins
1. Sports drinks Soda, water without gas, tonics and isotonics (Gatorade, Powerade), plus really useful waters containing aloe juice, etc. etc. This is the most necessary of all that you can buy at the bar. To train and not to drink is like smoking between sets; load on the cardiovascular system is not the most useful. The best choice of a sports drink for training in a hall - usual still water. All the rest - either for fitness gourmets, or for those who did not have time to eat properly before training (in this case, the bottle of "Gatorade" will not allow dangerous fall of blood glucose level during the load). 2. Proteins That is, a protein that is easier to digest than the same protein, taken from eggs, milk, cottage cheese, meat or fish. However, the need for his admission from the very beginning of the classes is greatly exaggerated financially interested in this people. The increased need for protein can arise only in response to no less elevated loads, which, as a rule, occur after a year or two of very intense and regular training. For muscle growth, a novice serving of a protein shake before and after training will be useful only if he last ate 6-8 hours ago. 3. Gainers Protein-carbohydrate drinks, stimulating the secretion of insulin - the main anabolic hormone, responsible for the assimilation of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In practice, the gainers are used to quickly gain weight. Taking 2-3 servings of a geyner a day with food (and not instead of it), any sloth will accumulate a five kilogram of muscle mass in just a month. Those who have been training for a long time, it is useful to drink the geyners right before classes - their increased caloric content will help to conduct more intensive training and recover faster. In this regard, the gainers are much more useful than proteins, but, like all high-speed, have a side effect - the inevitable increase in fat under the skin. 4. Vitamins, amino acids and other fat burners All this can easily be combined into one group of expensive, probably useful, but not the most necessary drugs. Alas, the sports nutrition market is also a market, it needs diversification of the product, and therefore you will always be offered a new chondroprotector, then a new creatine. Yes, the producers will not take offense at me, but these products duplicate what you can buy in a pharmacy, and much cheaper. The best chondro- and cardioprotective agent is regular fish oil. Sports vitamins carry a thermonuclear dosage, which is difficult to absorb even a very heavy athlete; Pharmaceutical dosages are much better for normal active people. Amino acids - in general the lot of competing bodybuilders. So if you do not have extra money, excess health and unnecessary curiosity, refrain from applying the above.
Helpful advice: if you constantly use the products of a fitness bar, do not be lazy to ask the bartender to look at the jar of what you are constantly drinking - a gainer or protein. In many bars there is a restaurant "tradition" not to report in cocktails recommended by the manufacturer a dose, providing volume of ice and other by-products. If you notice the difference (the bartender is obliged to tell you how many grams of this or that product he pours into a cocktail) - order a double portion or buy your own jar. Special diet provides you with muscle grow but you also need a lot of energy and strength to build muscles. That is why you may need a pre-workout supplements. Pre-workout supplements are one of the types of sports nutrition that increase the working capacity of an athlete before training, increase strength, help build muscle mass and burn subcutaneous fat. There are a number of different ingredients in them. Some of the ingredients are effective, and some are not, but in the aggregate, they are a very active mixture that really improves the quality of the athletes' training process. Pre-workout supplements Composition of pre-workouts The composition of Pre-workout supplements includes many components, usually 15-25, but most often you can find the following substances: Creatine - increases the strengths, stimulates the growth of muscle mass. Pre-Workouts in the composition contain a variety of transport systems, which improve the assimilation of creatine. BCAA - 3 essential amino acids that nourish muscle tissue and prevent catabolic processes. Arginine - is needed to make up the muscles and the effect of pumping. Vitamins and minerals are vital components for the human body, the reserves of which are depleted during intensive training, so they need to be restored. Caffeine - a stimulant of the central nervous system, promotes the acceleration of metabolism. Geranamine is another stimulant of the central nervous system, several times stronger than caffeine. Taurine - a stimulant and a reductant, according to unconfirmed data stimulates the production of growth hormone. Beta-alanine - restores muscles after training. As practice shows, the remaining components, which are part of the predecessors, are not effective. Cons of Pre-workout supplements Pre-workout supplements contain a lot of stimulant and other various components that can be dangerous for the cardiovascular system, therefore, it is not worth taking sports complexes to athletes with heart problems, and it is also not recommended to use preworkouts if you are 40 years old or more. Cases and problems with digestion associated with taking stimulant supplements are not uncommon before buying a product, check the composition, make sure you do not have an individual intolerance to one of the components. The Best Pre-workout supplements The best Pre-workout supplements This list contains only pre-training, time-tested, they collected a lot of positive feedback and recommendations from professional athletes: Jack3D from USPLabs; No Xplode from BSN; Mesomorph from APS; Assault from MusclePharm; Friction from VPX; SuperPump Max from Gaspari Nutrition. You can familiarize yourself with each of these products by simply clicking on the name in the list. All of them showed incredible effectiveness, of course, each of these preworkouts deserves attention. How to take a pre-workout complex Each manufacturer, together with a pre-workout instructor, provides consumers with an instruction on how to use the additive, while holding it, you can achieve maximum results. Deviate from the recommended dosage is not necessary, it can lead to a mass of health problems. Some companies also offer athletes to take Pre-workout supplements and during rest days, it is worth saying that in such cases they are more worried about the state of their wallet, rather than your physical form. In days off from training, it is better to take some restorative and nutritious supplements such as protein or amino acid complexes, daily use of potent stimulants of the central nervous system will deplete your strength and only slow the progression. Reviews on Pre-workout supplements In discussions at various forums and the most popular bodybuilding portals, one can find both positive and negative feedback about Pre-workout supplements. Athletes share their feelings and results, discuss the taste, effectiveness, safety and quality of products. Having analyzed a lot of Internet resources, we came to the conclusion that there are many times more positive reviews of pre-teens, moreover, one often finds statements by reputable sportsmen who recommend one or another stimulating complex.

Hey Athletes and Warriors! This article was originally published December 14, 2017 during the Holiday rush and rumble. So no worries, apply these principles today and no longer will the typical Holiday "bulge" bother you in 9 months! -Coach Nate
It’s easy to lose focus on your fitness goals during the holidays. It’s winter, it’s cold outside, and you’re less motivated to workout. Your work days may get more stressful and hectic. All the holiday parties make it easy to focus less on nutrition and more on indulgence.
There are plenty of excuses out there this time of year, but it’s up to you to stick to your training goals. Show the holiday season who’s boss by finding ways to work fitness into your busy schedule.
Below are five resistance band exercises we’ve found to help you. Even on the coldest day, even when you’re not motivated, these band exercises can help you get over the holiday slump. If working out is easier on you, you’re more likely to do it, and each of these exercises can be done at home. Experts agree that adding a resistance band to your regimen is as effective as using free weights.
Target: Lower-Body Exercise: Front Squats
Don’t neglect your bum this holiday. Instead, keep it tight and toned by doing front squats. How it works: Stand on a resistance band with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Hold a handle in each hand, bringing the top of the band over each shoulder. If the resistance band is too long, cross your arms over your chest. Next, sit straight back, keeping your chest up, abs firm and knees over your toes. Repeat 8 to 12 reps.
Target: Back Exercise: Bent-over Row
It’s easy to develop back problems if you’re constantly sitting on the couch watching Christmas movies. Keep your back strong with this bent-over row exercise. How it works: Stand over the center of the resistance band with feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at your knees and pivot at the waist, keeping your hips back. Hold each resistance band handle with your hands facing the outside of your knees. With your elbows bent, pull the band up towards your hips, squeezing your shoulder blades together until your elbows make a 90-degree angle. Repeat 10 to 12 reps.
Target: Chest Exercise: Push-up
Keep your chest, abs and arms core taut throughout December by adding a resistance band to this classic exercise. How it works: Get in a plank position with the resistance band looped across your upper back. Hold the ends of the band on each thumb, and place your hands on the ground with your body facing down. Contract your glutes and abs, and push straight up until your arms are fully extended. Slowly lower back down, chest to the floor, and see what you’ve got for five to 20 reps.
Target: Shoulders Exercise: Overhead Press
Hanging Christmas lights can be a shoulder workout in and of itself. Strengthen those deltoids beforehand by doing these overhead presses with resistance bands. How it works: Stand over the center of a tube resistance band with feet shoulder-width apart. Position your hands at shoulder level as you hold each handle. Make sure your palms are facing each other so your thumbs can touch your shoulders. Press straight up, rotating your palms forward as you fully extend your arms. Lower back down slowly. Repeat for 8 to 10 reps.
Target: Arms Exercise: Concentration Curl
Give yourself a gift that even Santa Claus can be jealous of! A pair of guns look great on everyone and these concentration curls are a great way to work your biceps. How it works: Start in a forward lunge position with your right leg in front. Place the middle of the resistance band under your right foot. Hold one end of the band with your right hand. Rest your elbow on the inside of your knee. With your palm facing away from your knee, curl the band up toward your shoulder, squeezing your biceps at the top. Slowly lower back down. Repeat 8 to 10 reps before switching sides.

Why Take a Physical Fitness Test
By: Jesse Regan
This one of those tests that you should not fear and, in fact should take for your health’s sake. A physical fitness test will only oblige you, after all, to do exercises that would serve as measuring instruments for your agility, endurance and stability, which are the four aspects that physical fitness consists of. You will be required to undergo such test if you join institutions that give importance to your physical abilities. If you join the army or the police, you will definitely require you to be fit. If you want to become an athlete, your team or club will normally ask you to do the test. Tests on cardio, usually, require you to jog a distance or time in order to find out how your endurance is. Some routines on weight training may also be performed such as pull-ups to measure your strength. Short sprints and long jumps are also done to determine your agility. If you wish to get a more comprehensive reading though, try performing all four types of tests.
The first things you will appreciate in a physical fitness test will be your strengths and weaknesses. If you perform all routines necessary to measure yourself on the four factors, you will find out your problem areas. You can still start working out without undergoing a fitness test though. However, you run the risk of focusing only on your strengths while setting aside those that need to be developed. When you are done with your physical fitness test, the results will be the starting points for your fitness program. If it proves that you have a problem with endurance, then your program will require you more cardio. If it also tells you that you lack physical strength, then you will have to spend more time with weights. Still, you will have to do the rest of the routines for a balanced approach on fitness. Hospitals and clinics can also use physical fitness tests on you if you are their patient. They consider this as a form of diagnostic testing, checking how patients react to physical exertion before or after undergoing treatment. While running on a treadmill for a given time, they will monitor how your heart and lungs function. If you have gone through a surgical operation on your bone fractures or torn muscles, they may prescribe you to lift some weights so they can check your recovery status. Almost every school makes it a point to let their students take physical fitness tests. They find this indispensable in their efforts to keep their students’ health in check by promoting a physical fitness program. This has become more valuable now that obesity has become such a problem for many young people. While implementing a fitness program, they conduct fitness tests to monitor the students’ development and make adjustments if necessary.
The apostle Paul says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). There is a place in your spirit that says, “I am a peacemaker, and because I am a peacemaker, I can trust God to fight my battles for me and bring the right outcome.” We have the ability to draw the line in the sand and say, “I’m not going to step over this line into strife and division. I’m going to make peace.” Let’s be instruments of peace because there’s a blessing in the life of a peacemaker.

He Still Moves Stones Today
Post by Victoria Osteen on March 30, 2018
In the first light of dawn, the morning mist somewhat veiled three women who were walking down a dewy path to the tomb where the body of Jesus had been lain. They each brought spices so they could anoint His body, but what their broken hearts really wanted was to see Him one more time. Mary Magdalene led the silent procession.
Mary's love for Jesus was deep. At a desperate point in her life, Jesus had intervened and completely turned what had been a miserable life into a flourishing life. She had been touched by Jesus firsthand, followed Him, and seen His greatness. Now she had watched Him be mocked and beaten. She stood helplessly and saw Him crucified and hanging on the cross, slowly dying. Then His body was taken down and laid in the tomb. As a huge stone was rolled in front of the tomb, so were all her hopes and dreams.
As the women approached the tomb, they realized they had forgotten the big stone. All that they wanted to do was suddenly blocked and too big to move on their own. Mark 16:3 says, "They asked each other, 'Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?'" It seemed impossible.
Have you ever felt like that? You wanted to accomplish something but there was a block in your way, and you didn't have the power to change it. The problem was too big for you and totally out of your control. Perhaps a stone of debt, or of sickness, or of divorce. Stones come in different shapes and sizes, but big or small, they try to block our way and trap us in fear, anxiety and worry. Stones try to stop us from accomplishing what we have in our heart.
The women arrived at the tomb and were shocked to see that the stone had been rolled away! What was too big for them had been removed! And even far better, they witnessed an empty tomb, an angel, and the amazing news that Jesus had risen from the dead just as He promised!
If there are stones in your way today, the good news is that Jesus still moves stones and is doing what no man can do! Jesus has a promise for any stone that blocks your way. If a stone of fear is blocking your way, just attach His promise to it: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." He can deliver you, heal you and restore you! You have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead living inside of you. God will make a way where there is no way!
