Ashley Horner is a sponsored athlete with Bodybuilding.com, a business owner, and a busy mom of 3 boys. I first started following Ashley when I bought her training program Magnify You a few years back. (I also own PipeHitter, PipeHitter2, and Sweetcakes. I love them all!)  Her training programs are fantastic yes, but Ashley Horner the PERSON is even more amazing.  I got a chance to train with her in person this summer and I asked her how she manages to “do it all.”  Her answer was that she simply loves what she does and it is her life.

This is obvious to those of us who “know” her!  She lives the lifestyle and she promotes “beauty in strength” in everything that she does. She just started the Unbroken Movement to help battered women and families.  She has a site devoted to healthy living for kids — www.sledpups.com.

In my mind, she is the poster child for health, fitness, and positive living.

I was an athlete growing up, but didn’t practice Health and fitness as a lifestyle. I exercised when I had too with my soccer team.

I would suggest trying to include your kids with your exercise.  Not only are you encouraging good habit by leading by example you’re ramping up that metabolism too.Q: What is your least favorite exercise? 

Can I say cardio is an exercise.  I hate cardio, it’s so boring.  I recently had to run 5 miles on a treadmill and it was the longest 5 miles of my life!!

Q: Do you have any mental tricks that you use when you just don’t feel like working out?

Yes, I do! I make myself at least show up!  Whether that’s simply putting on my shoes to walk out the door or drive to the gym & usually once I get there the hard part is over with.

Q: What is your go-to snack food?

My go-to snack is always a Quest bar, chocolate chip cookie dough. FAV!!

How to Keep Weight Loss Off Forever [Video]

Why is it that 99% of people who lose a large amount of weight gain it back again? What’s so hard about sustaining weight loss long-term?

The answer lies in the brain.

When you lose weight, you can do it by overpowering your brain and willing your way into a smaller size.

But if you do that, you’ll gain the weight back, eventually.

Or, you can re-wire your brain to support your weight loss efforts, so that over time, it gets easier, not harder, to keep your weight off.

When you understand the brain and how it works, losing weight suddenly gets easy. And, more importantly, it stays easy.

In the third and final video (and, in my opinion, the BEST video) of the Food Freedom series, Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson explains the 5 critical ways to rewire your brain so that eating the right foods, and not eating the wrong foods, becomes completely automatic.

I want you to know that I have gotten a HUGE response to Susan’s first two videos from people talking about the A-HA! moments they’ve had with the information she is sharing. They are finally understanding why they sometimes overeat, even when they KNOW what to eat… and they are beginning to feel like there is something they can do about it.

This third video takes it to a whole new level.
