Morning turks and caicos right now
Yesterday we wrapped our a two week shoot of our brand-new program
It's called transform and it's gonna be coming out January 1st 2019
Which is crazy actually to here
We're in the future
Where right now on the main island called Providenciales in Turks and Caicos or the locals call it Provo
Yeah, which is crazy because actually the last two weeks if you've seen on our Instagram
We were in North Caicos
Northy Caicos at
First felt like a ghost town to us when we got there really cold Amole we're gonna spend this much time in this place
But we kind of got into a rhythm and a routine and we loved it
There's so much beauty there and it's very secluded very isolated
Which was perfect for what we needed but coming back to Provo now and going to like the main beach grace Bay
It kind of feels like you're in Miami and it's a little bit shocking to us
Yeah, which is crazy. You're talking to a local who's lived here her whole life
we met her in North Caicos, and she was talking about the
Extreme boom that the island has felt in the last 10 or 15 years and that's a story
We keep hearing
Everywhere we go when we talk to locals they talk about the tourism has really come in and not that it's a bad thing
But that it's changed things. I guess there's to me
it's just a little bit shocking because
being in North Caicos and seeing the rawness and then coming out to Provo and feeling like things are really
Rapidly being commercialized and changing. I don't know
It's just it gives us that feeling again that we feel I guess a lot
Lately, but it's the world is changing the world is changing and maybe that's like the thought about hey
We were just talking about the future
And now we're mentioning they like the world is changing. So
Maybe that just gives us a moment to take a breath and to appreciate the North Caicos when we find them
maybe our whole point of going into this discussion is to just
Encourage you guys if you come out here to this part of the world
Really step out of your comfort zone and go out see the raw beauty that this island has to offer
Don't just stick to the resort to really get out there and experience the beauty that Mother Earth has to offer
With that said with the beach and do this blog
So you guys have been asking us a lot on
Instagram Facebook YouTube how we personally workout what we do what our
Secret is to staying fit and healthy. So we thought okay. Let's make a video to tell you guys
There is no secret. It's simply about building a habit cycle for yourselves
To build a healthy life on top of it
We kind of see it more of a spiritual practice rather than
Calculations and see how much calories we're gonna burn in this workout or that workout
And that's something we would like to encourage everybody because everybody's different every body works in a different way
So for you to compare yourself to another person in terms of this is the amount of calories
I'm gonna burn it's not necessarily correct. That's I just expand on the spirituality of it
I think that's what we mean about the spiritualism in our practice and in our healthy life is that it comes from bliss
in word instead of looking for answers at work and our bodies will tell you everything it needs in order to
Flourish and find how to push its maximum potential every day if you just take the time to listen and provide
So we always try to stick to doing our workouts in the morning
that is the one time you you yourself will have less excuses to
Skip a workout or to say I'm tired. I have too much on my plate because you've set a date with yourself 8 a.m
I'm up i'm doing my hour workout then I start my day
It's about training your body training your mind to start craving that then once you get into a habit of it
like literally your body will crave it to us right now when we get up and we
Can't do a workup. For some reason you're like to feel like something is off
And again, we set it briefly and our morning routine video
But what we give to you guys on youtube and in our program so that we sell on our website
Is actually what we do ourselves personally, everything we design is because it word has worked for us
Those exercises has helped our bodies flourish and we want to share those exercises with you. So your body's Fiedler's as well
And this is when it comes to like figuring out what your body is asking for because every morning before we hit the mat
we think and we internally analyze where we are in our emotional and physical EQ and we provide our body with
If we're you know exhausted and tired and we've been working it really hard. We do lighter yoga or restorative
Yoga or yin yoga, or if we feel like we really, you know
We have some energy to burn and we really want to give it we do like serious workouts. And actually we have the
Program a little beautiful complete that you guys might have seen on our website or perhaps you have tried it
But those are exactly what we do because those workouts about 45 to an hour long and that is what we give ourselves
About an hour each day to do really really in-depth physical work. Whatever that is Pilates or yoga
And Mark and I of course are also different people in terms of what works for me
Sometimes doesn't work for mark and we are in different places
For me personally how I like to structure. My programs is I like to challenge myself
So I like to incorporate a lot more cardio based
movements through my flow
I don't like to stop my work as you guys have seen and a lot of the YouTube videos
We never have a break my body sweating. My body is working
I give myself a break in a plank position or a downward-facing dog something that's still allowing my body to be more communicate
And that's what I do. I tried to challenge myself to my maximum potential and with each day if I stick through routines
Every day, I noticed that my body can go a little bit further and that's what I try to push myself
For me I'm in a much different position because my body is different and on my journey
I'm constantly fighting with a bad back
I had a terrible back herniation a couple of years ago
And I've been on a road to recovery
ever since so I'll usually spend the first 10 minutes of any practice on the mat just like
Really giving my back the attention it needs and I've seen by giving it what it needs such great
Improvement to from from a point where I live for three months on my back in pain to a point now
Where I can pretty much do everything I ever want to do. If not, it's incredible how far mark has come actually within his practice?
The most important thing that we like to always tell everybody is that no matter how intense
We do our workouts how much we workout in general if we don't be in our bodies properly?
We're not going to see the results
we're trying to get go for so it's really all of it including the
Rehabilitation for me and including the pushing yourself to new limits for Julianne. It's all about diet
It's the flu you put in your body everything your general health. You are what you eat
That is that is it. I actually do share a personal story with you guys as well when I began my fitness journey
It was 21 at that point
I was just really focusing on
Working out as hard as I can and it was frustrating because no matter how much time I spent at the gym
We're at the classes at that time. I wasn't seeing the results
I wanted to see and then once I cut out all the processed food and I went plant-based
It was insane to see my body transform so a couple years ago
We actually put out a book called the happy healthy
eating guide
This was because a lot of people were asking us about plant-based
so the first part of the book is all just sort of information to
Understand plant-based and then the second part is a lot of guidance and that's something I guess that we do ourselves
so the second part is very personal because we share with you guys our meal plants our
grocery list and there's a ton of recipes in there and then the last part to the book and that's the
Ethical part for us about why we choose plant-based and why we live vegan
And so we tell our our story that led us to this point, which is to find the spiritual results
That's kind of how your body feels on the inside because the work you put into your fitness routine your eating habits
Not only are you gonna see the physical results?
but what's even more important is that you're gonna feel it inside and I think that's even more special because you just feel good about
being in this body that you have and I think that's an important goal to have in anything that you do is you want to
feel good and happy about the body that you have and
Enjoy your life to the fullest because it transforms back to the program
Transfer no, I'm serious
He transforms the way you feel not the way you look for us honestly since we started this journey
And if you go back to the beginning of our YouTube, you can see the beginning of a true journey
It was about transforming from the inside out and so clean eating a healthy practice every morning
building a habit structure and a strong foundation washing your lemon and pushing your limits if it's about how you feel and
That's how we work out. We work out to change how we feel about ourselves
And once you understand that the journey becomes who you are
it doesn't become about just a
Temporary part of time and you go on a diet or you just start a decision to get some kind of yeah
We like to always say that a healthy life doesn't have a deadline, you know
it's not like a cleanse you start and then you have
Becomes part of who you are and that's what we would like and hope to inspire everyone out
There is just to embrace a new lifestyle where you can just feel good and live a happy and healthy life
So that's pretty much our
Secret if you'd like to call it is push your limits. We work really hard. We do all of those workouts
You guys see online and in our programs and we be extremely well
We also as a redoing this blog I just spotted a dog I've missed putting dogs in her video come over
He's too scared of humans. He put his tail under his thumb and ran a paper so bad
