BACK TO SCHOOL

I have to disagree with Kermit the Frog when he said, “It’s not easy being green.” Guess what? It is totally easy (sorry, Kermit!).

Why I became a distributor for It Works & how I help others! By Ryan Fouts

This is a fellow Distributors testimony and story of how he found It Works and how he incorporated it into his life and business!

As most of you know — I am very passionate about Beachbody!  With RevAbs and Shakeology I lost 55 lbs in 4 months, and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.  This will always be my passion!   I don’t believe in “quick fixes” when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.   Exercise + Nutrition + Support = the only way to truly succeed.   I also wasn’t looking for any new business ventures — my success with Beachbody has kept me very busy!   I wouldn’t have added this to what I do if it wasn’t VERY convincing.  This also doesn’t COMPETE at all with what I offer with Beachbody — it’s totally different, but still can help a lot of people!

I’m not going to post about this too often — but I wanted to take an opportunity to share with all my friends what I found, and am quite excited about!

I have to say — when I first heard of these “body wraps” I was skeptical.  How can you “wrap” your body with something, and see results in as little as 45 minutes?   Like they say, however, SEEING is BELIEVING!   My fiancee got wrapped, and lost 3 inches.  At a business expo (the expo was pretty much a flop, as it was poorly advertised) some It Works! distributors had a table… and people were literally LINING up to get wrapped with these applicators.   They were really the only booth there, aside from our Beachbody booth, that had significant traffic.   What gives?   The people started seeing results — one woman lost 10 inches off her abdomen.   REALLY?   “Ok, I asked myself, WHAT is this and HOW does it work?”    First, I learned that the inches lost were NOT water weight — and the results can last from 2-6 months (presuming someone lives a healthy lifestyle!).   Second, I learned that everything in the applicators is totally natural.   Third, I found a doctor who advocated this — saying that the product really is the “fountain of youth” for your skin, and detoxifying the skin (the largest organ in your body) is one component to health.     Fourth, I found out that this product can actually reduce (in some cases, ELIMINATE)  LOOSE SKIN, cellulite, and STRETCH MARKS!

Again, I don’t endorse “quick fixes” or “fads.”  As I saw more, though, I discovered that this really isn’t a “quick fix” and it doesn’t pretend to replace diet, exercise, etc. — both those things are necessary!   It does, however, add to the total health of a person, and provides a solution for people who have lost weight (and I’m seeing a TON of the folks I’m coaching lose lots of weight) in terms of their loose skin, stretch marks, etc…. all WITHOUT SURGERY!

As I did research, I found out spas on the West Coast are actually using similar products — but they charge sometimes $200 or more for a single body wrap!   These wraps could go for $30 a piece (or much less for people who became loyal customers with It Works! — saving 20%-50% off the product).   So — I believe in — NATURAL remedies (CHECK!)… things that SAVE money (CHECK!)… things that promote overall health and detox (CHECK!)… and help people reach their goals (CHECK!).     With the potential I see for this to help people who are considering surgery… and other invasive options… I decided that enrolling in this business would be a great compliment to how I’m already helping people reach their goals!

I see a lot of potential here for…

… people who lost a lot of weight and need a solution to help with loose skin and stretch marks.

… body builders who are wanting to get a little leaner, and have healthier looking skin for a show.

… salon owners, beauticians, anyone in health, beauty or fitness.

… anyone who cares about their health!!! The skin is the largest organ of the body, and detox is just as important for the skin!

 Again — Exercise + Nutrition + Support… that’s the formula I REALLY believe in… and that’s why Beachbody is the solution I ultimately promote!  That said, this seems like a great tool to help a lot of people!

If you are interested in the business opportunity, or just interested in qualifying to become a “loyal customer” to save 20-50% off the products… let me know, and I’ll tell you how!    I’m very excited about how this could really help a lot of people!

facebook_1859308419

 

Here are some of the all natural active ingredients in the Ultimate Body Applicator and what they are known to do individually!!

Horse Chestnut: Provides astringent and anti-inflammatory benefits for products treating reddened, irritated, or sensitive skin. In Germany, extract from the seed has been approved to treat poor circulation to the legs, leg cramps, swelling, and non specific leg heaviness. Traditionally used for it’s ability to reduce vericose veins and treat hemorrhoids.

Green Tea Extract: The active agents in Green Tea have been demonstrated to suppress inflammation and irritation, and more recently have been shown to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Green Tea plays a vital role in protecting the cell from free radical damage initiated by environmental factors. Powerful antioxidants help to prevent or delay skin aging.

Centella Asiatica: Applied to the skin, it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. Studies in the Department of Dermatology in Strasbourg indicate it is a strong anti-inflammatory agent, effective in the treatment of wounds, ulcers, and lymphatic edema. Centella Asiatica assists in reducing inflammation and sensitivity of the skin. It also tightens the skin and increases the elasticity.

Horsetail Extract: An effective treatment for damaged and tired skin. Used for it’s astringent, tightening, and firming properties on the skin. It also help to improve the elasticity of the skin.

Eucalyptus: Promotes the regeneration of skin tissue. Increases the blood circulation to the area while reducing blemishes and excess oil. Eucalyptus has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Seaweed Extract: Rich in vital nutrients, trace elements, and amino acids present in human blood plasma, allowing it to penetrate the skin more thoroughly. Speeds up the elimination of toxins from cells and is a natural cellular renewal ingredient. Helps to nourish and remineralize the skin. It is high in silicon, which prevents the skin from wrinkling and sagging.

Ivy Extract: Ivy is well known for it’s skin toning, tightening and skin refining properties. Ivy has slimming and anti-cellulite properties, preventing water accumulation in skin tissue. Ivy is also antibacterial and anti-inflamitory to lower tissue sensitivity, activate circulation and reduce inflammation. Ivy Extract is also currently being studied for it’s vasoconstrictive properties.

Menthol: Derived from mint oils with anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties to impart a cool, sothing feel to skin.

Seaweed Derivative: Organic derivative of seaweed that binds moisture in the skin, thus firming and strengthening the skin. Also known to act as an anti-oxidant to actively prevent the acceleration of premature aging. It also acts as a tissue regenerator and aids in the reduction of cellulite.

Panthol: Is a penetrating moisturizer that imparts a non-irritant, nonsensitizing, and conditioning feel and promotes normal keratinization and wound healing. Panthol also protects the skin against sunburn and enhances the natural tanning process.

Guarana Seed Extract: Used in cosmetic preperation as an astringent and to stimulate circulation.

Rosemary Oil: Rosemary has astringent, aniseptic, and invigorating properties that stimulate the metabolic process in the skin’s dermal layer making it beneficial for acne, dermatitis, eczema and othe skin disorders. It is also beneficial for firming and toning the skin.

You are What You Eat

cartoon

We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you are what you eat’, but have you ever stopped to think exactly how true that is?

Put simply, healthy eating is the key to wellbeing. We all have up to 100 trillion cells in our bodies, each one demanding a constant supply of daily nutrients in order to function optimally. Food affects all of these cells, and by extension, every aspect of our being: mood, energy levels, food cravings, thinking capacity, sex drive, sleeping habits and general health. If you feed your body junk and convenience foods it’ll simply lay down fat, lower your energy, even your brain power.

944590_4390684064285_628651384_n

The stomach breaks food down and passes it to the small intestine. Nutrients enter the bloodstream through fingerlike projections called villi that are along the inner wall of the small intestine. Your body absorbs most of the nutrients during the process of moving the food from the stomach to the small intestine. The colon assists in the digesting of any remaining food that reaches the large intestine.

Not eating all of the fruits and veggies that you should? Feeling sluggish and off balance? Want more energy to get through your day?

Now you can get even more of the alkalizing, energizing, and detoxifying Greens you love with the new Greens Value Size. It’s three times the amount of Greens and its pH-balancing blend, now supercharged with an acidity-fighting combination of magnesium and potassium for even more alkalizing properties. The addition of a cutting-edge probiotic helps you better maintain that healthy balance by keeping your digestive system regular and toxins flowing out.

How To Wrap Faq

Q: How do I apply the wrap to my body?

 A: The wrap is sealed and unfolds and can be applied anywhere on your body.  It is wet with special proprietary ingredients.  Open it and smooth it over your skin. Rest with the wrap in place, or simply hold in onto your body with everyday plastic wrap or an ace bandage. Make it convenient for yourself with the plastic wrap.

You clothes can go right on over the wrap. No one will know you are wearing it. Go shopping, do chores, go to work, for a walk, whatever you want.

After a minimum of 45 minutes you remove the wrap and rub the remaining proprietary blend of ingredients into your skin. No Mess. No washing anything off or cleaning anything up. It’s THAT easy!

1948148_815421605139636_350258355_n
Q: What does it feel like on my body?
A: After the wrap is applied, you will immediately feel a slight tingle. It is not hot, more cooling. You will definitely have the sensation that it is doing its job, attacking and breaking down fat cells, toxins while toning, firming and smoothing your skin.
Q:  How often can I use a wrap?
A:  It is recommended that you wrap every 72 hours (4 days). The ingredients continue to work after being removed.  You do not HAVE to do another wrap after 72 hours, however the more you wrap the more you lose. Depending on how much you are trying to remove, and how your body reacts to treatments, the number of treatments can vary.  But understand 80-90% of people have results after ONE treatment. That’s Incredible.

 

Q: Where can I apply my wrap?

A: You can apply the body applicator to the stomach, back, thighs, arms, knees (okay anywhere) there are also wraps designed and shaped to fit the neck and jawline area and the face.

Q: How long will my results last?

 A: Your results will last. This is not water weight you are losing. It is actual fat loss. Once you lose it’s gone. Continued wrapping will result in more inch loss. I also recommend getting the Defining Gel to use all over your body. It will smooth cellulite, reduce stretch marks and help maintain your wrap results.

Q: Is there anything different I need to do while using the wrap or in the following 72 hours?

 A: Yes DRINK WATER!!! Drink one bottle while you are wearing the wrap & each day following drink “half of your body weight in ounces per day” This is so important to flush the toxins OUT of the body. You do not want to release these in your body & not get rid of them.

The It Works Ultimate Body Applicator

Congratulations for finding one of the world’s best kept secrets.  Our It Works Ultimate Body Applicator is a first to market botanically infused applicator that has ingredients that immediately get to work to tighten tone and firm any area of the skin that you choose.  Our product formulator Luis Mijares has put his years of experience as an herbalist to work on creating this amazing easy to use, mess free applicator.

Screen-Shot-2012-11-29-at-1.14.13-PM

 

The It Works body wrap kind of looks like a Texas sized band-aid and you can apply it anywhere on your body.  Chin, arms, neck, tummy, back, legs, feet, breasts and buttocks.  Yes I did say anywhere.  If you have any area that you want to tighten, tone or firm you can put the applicator on it.
Using the applicator is easy.  There are 4 in a box for a reason.  This is a treatment.  It takes time to heal and rejuvenate or bodies.  While most of our customers do see results after one applicator, some need more so they are sold in a box of 4 for that very reason. 
 
1948148_815421605139636_350258355_n
 
 
Results will vary.  Some may see skin rejuvenation, some may see a reduction in inflammation, some might see stretch marks lighten up.  Whatever your results are, it can be maintained with proper diet and exercise.
You can use our applicator every 72 hours.  Only use one at a time in your core (no tummy and back at the same time).  You can use one and cut it in half for your neck, arms or inner or outer thighs or love handles.
Simply follow the instructions.  Take it out of the sleeve, unfold it and place it on your body.  You will feel it working right away.  It has a tingly sensation.  Enjoy it and just relax for the 45 minute application time.  You can remove it and just rub the cream in to your skin, throw the applicator away and you are done.
Results can be boosted with our Defining Gel.  The defining gel has similar ingredients to the applicator, but not as concentrated.
