Let’s congratulate Regina on her great transformation! She has lost over 40lbs and counting…

What motivated you to start NuLife?
- My friend, Mary J. and I were just tired of being unhealthy.

For you, what is the difference between working out at NuLife versus an actual fitness facility?
- The difference for me is that you do not feel alone at NuLife, because there are others working together with the same struggles to lose weight. The best part is that everyone helps and motivates one another.

What’s your favorite Nulife exercise(s) or drill(s)?
 - My favorite drill is lunges with kick and 3-count runs

How has NuLife changed you socially, physically & mentally?
- Socially, I am more open and willing to converse with people that I don’t know. Mentally, I am less stressed and physically I am healthier and have increased indurance.

What are your personal goals?
- My personal goal is to remain fit and healthy for the rest of my life.

What is your workout regiment (including Nulife and extra activities)?
- I attend NuLife 5 days a week.

What obstacles have you encountered thus far during your journey to a healthier lifestyle?
- The biggest obstacle for me were pushing myself to keep going when I didn’t feel like it and to keep working through the aches and pains.

What would you say to anyone struggling with weight loss?
- I would say that it’s not easy and it doesn’t happen over night, but hard work pays off!!

What do you enjoy the most about NuLife?
- I enjoy the workout routines, the professionalism, and the friendly environment.

Let’s congratulate Kim on her weight loss success. This hasn’t been an easy journey for Kim due to a back injury, but keep reading to see how she worked through the pain.

What motivated you to start NuLife?
I have a special need son that’s 23yrs old and when I turned 50 in 2007, I realized that I needed to get my personal health together for the sake of my son.  I want to be around to take care of him for as long as I can…no group home for him. So personal fitness is not an option…it’s a must.  Plus everything was beginning to ache…lol.  But not anymore…YES!

For you, what is the difference between working out at NuLife versus an actual fitness facility?
NuLife has a well organized, thought out executed plan of success for its clients.  It’s all up close and personal here at NuLife…the staff truly care and actually crave and desire success for its clients.  The staff/trainers put their hard working achievers up on the front line during workouts (I call them the motivators) and anybody with a real desire to achieve their goals become instantly inspired and competitive. I know because it worked for me….smile.  Lastly, the meal plans, nutritional teaching and accountably.  Fitness Facilities are counterfeit wannabes…smile!

What’s your favorite NuLife exercise(s) or drill(s)?
None of them!  They all are a necessary EVIL …smile.  All kidding aside though…Combo drills – High Runs – Jacks – Knee ups

How has NuLife changed you socially, physically & mentally?
I am more confident and out-going. I have a ‘can do’ attitude now and even if it takes me stopping to catch my breath, I don’t give up anymore.  I KEEP TRYING UNTIL I MASTER IT!   I love clothes and shoes and it feels soooo good to buy smaller sizes.  I am prone to have back issues… Now my core is 95% stronger.  No more aches and pains…just the normal ones after a good workout.

What are your personal goals?
To maintain and tone up my body. I want to see at least one or two ridges in my abs!  I want to start off with a one pack…. And I bet, God willing, I will have it by next year this time…smile!

What is your workout regiment (including Nulife and extra activities)? 
I run at least one to two miles once or twice a week at Shaker Hts High School, along with the bleachers.  I attend iPump classes and I also utilize the cardio equipment at NuLife and lift weights at home.

What obstacles have you encountered thus far during your journey to a healthier lifestyle?
Health issues (prior back injury), the lack of endurance and stamina, maintaining healthy eating habits and people and their opinions…”size 6 is too small”…HATERS…smile!!

What would you say to anyone struggling with weight loss?
Establish your vision and make it plain, then plug away at it every day. Keep it in sight… such as a dress or jeans you want to fit again, put them on every so often.  Partner up or find a support group and stay around positive people.

What do you enjoy the most about NuLife?
Staff & Trainers…the camaraderie with the other NuLifers.  Kudos to all the trainers… Thank you for helping me on my journey to becoming the best that I can be.  I want to say thank you to; Jamila (girlfriend remember when you told me you hate quitters…that was enough for me to get it moving…I was determined I’ll show her…smile), Gabby (my personal cheerleader), Kanela, Tujuana (especially, Ms. Tujuana…woman you know you just wouldn’t let me give up, you stayed in my face…you even let me cry…smile… you’re the best), Jody (pure motivator…you got that look also), Dee (that look…you and Nikki both will give it to me), Nikki, Miesha (OMG a beast! I see you and want to run…smile) and all my new friends at NuLife. Without you guys I couldn’t have accomplished my goals.  Much love and heartfelt thanks…

Need to quench that thirst? After reading these interesting facts, which one will you choose?

WATER
•75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
•In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
•Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
•One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
•Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
•Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
•A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
•Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE:
•In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
•You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
•To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
•To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
•To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
•To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
•To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham  is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
•To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
•It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:
•The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.  Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
•Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
•Contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
•To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
•The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
•Now the question is… would you like a Coke or a glass of water?

Let’s congratulate Tawanda who has lost 70 lbs and counting!

What motivated you to start NuLife?
The people that motivated me to start NuLife were Chryst, Dominique, Ebony, Monica, and Shamara. They started before I did and all of them were doing so well, I had to join.  The funny part is that they all pitched in to pay for my first month’s membership.
 
For you, what is the difference between working out at NuLife versus an actual fitness facility?
The difference with working out at NuLife and not a fitness club is that NuLife is more personal.  Miesha and all of her trainers really care if you are getting a good work out and not just taking your money. NuLife will go that extra mile. Most fitness clubs don’t care if you come or not, they still want their money.

What’s your favorite NuLife exercise(s) or drill(s)?
My favorite exercises are the kick boxing ones, football runs, step classes, 20 second high impact, and laps around the gym.

How has NuLife changed you socially, physically & mentally?
NuLife has changed me. Socially, because everyone keeps asking me, “How did you do it?” Therefore I have to tell them all about NuLife.  Physically, I’ve lost 70 lbs and counting. Now I don’t make my kids do all my running for me, I do it myself. Mentally, I now know that I can do anything that I put my mind to do.

What are your personal goals?
My personal goal is that once I meet my 4th goal (90 lbs total), I will maintain my weight and continue to live a healthy life.

What is your workout regiment (including NuLife and extra activities)?
My regiment is that I take four (4) classes a week, plus I go to the Superior Studio and work on the equipment and use the sauna.

What obstacles have you encountered thus far during your journey to a healthier lifestyle?
The obstacle that I have encountered the most was hitting plateaus which would seem like months. Miesha would then step in and educate me on how to alter things and I would start losing again.

What would you say to anyone struggling with weight loss?
I would tell anybody that is struggling with their weight to please, please give NuLife two (2) weeks and you will see and feel the difference. I carry NuLife business cards with me at all times.

What do you enjoy the most about NuLife?
What I enjoy most about NuLife are the Trainers. They really train you, they care, and most important Miesha is no Joke. LOL! I would not be where I am today if it were not or NuLife. Thank You for literally giving me a NuLife.

About her weight loss, she says “My motto is if you develop a habit for your passion to succeed, there is no goal in your life you can’t accomplish.” “I have not only changed my physical appearance but also my lifestyle.”
