I love listening to Chalene Johnson’s podcasts! If you don’t follow her, you totally should. It is on iTunes and it is free! She has one called Build Your Tribe and another one called The Chalene Show. They are both awesome- check them out!
Chalene was recently talking about Facebook live and how everybody’s having the ability to do this on their different pages, I’m actually really super excited about it.
Here is why:
I’m a Health and Fitness Coach and my entire goal here is to help people. I found my happiness through getting myself healthy and making myself a priority; taking care of myself. I want to help other people do that.
I know there’s a lot of people out there who just need somebody to support and encourage them as they take their steps. Because the first few steps or lots of steps are not always the easiest. You tend to need someone to believe in you until you can believe in yourself. That’s I wanted for people.
I’m super tech-challenged. Even when I started on this, I only had, maybe like, 200 friends on Facebook and they’re really mostly my family because my family’s huge. I just had to start building this and try to build relationships to people through facebook and found it, for me, a little bit challenging. I don’t always think what I want to say will come out the right way. When people are reading, I want people to get to know me. Like, feel me. Understand who I am. I think video is the way to do that and it’s live- my kids are always popping up in the background- It’s real. There’s no editing. I can’t cut & paste and put filters on, make things look better or fix them if I did something wrong. I mean, it’s real. It’s me.
I think this is a lot better way for us to know each other on my fitness page. Maybe you’ll feel more comfortable to reach out to me because you’ll get to see me and who I am.
This isn’t always the easiest thing for me either. I don’t want to work out every day. I don’t want to always make the right decision with food. I struggle with it too. I rely on my challengers first and my other friends as much as they rely on me for support through the harder days because it’s not always easy. Sometimes you just want a cookie or just for me, it is pizza. I’ve got to be honest. I had some last night and it was amazing!
I’m going to use Facebook live on my fitness page more often so we can talk, we can get to know each other. Once you guys click the little subscribe thing, you will know when I’m going live. You’ll get notified. You can pop-on and check it out. We can get to know each other. I want to help you guys and if you don’t like me or don’t feel that I’m your jam, then you can move on and find somebody else. But if you do like me and you think I am your jam, then this is the place to be. We’re going to have a lot of fun together.
You can tell a friend because sharing is caring. That’s what we want to do - share the things that we love with our friends. That’s I’m going to do here – share things that I love with my friends – with you guys.
