What Can I Say?


AR-Campers!

I am so very thrilled to have you all a part of my first summer EVER of The AR Program, you guys are amazing, and not to get all mushy on you, you have made this experience incredible for me. In the future I plan to take The AR Program to the national level, but YOU are the very first group I’ve had to test it, to give me feedback, to provide confidence that it works! I hope you will join me wherever I go, and when we are all 20 years older, we will still be out there, rocking our bodies, pushing it to the max, and looking HOT at 50, 60 or 80 J


AR NEWS!

·      AR TV: For those of you whom I haven’t told, I have partnered with a VERY cool online TV production company based in LA. They are actually backed by GOOGLE, and starting this fall, I will be filming two shows per week with them. One will be a weekly exercise TV show (The AR Program style), and the other will be a Fitness, Health and Lifestyle Talk-Show, which I will also host. I am thrilled at this opportunity and will keep you posted. If any of you has good ideas for talk-shows or knows someone interesting to interview, please let me know, I’d love to bring exposure to any brands or people I believe in.
·      Website MakeOver: Perhaps what I’m most excited about is my new website. As you know I have spent the last year working on the little site I have up now, but it’s been my dream to build a highly functioning, incredibly professional and comprehensive fitness and wellness site. The design is now in place and our goal is to launch this fall. The site will not only showcase my two TV channels, but also daily vlogs, articles and sections for other lifestyle topics such as beauty, style, music, etc. Stay Tuned!
·      HEALTH WARRIOR: So proud to be the spokesperson for the amazing new miracle food Health Warrior Chia Seeds and Chia Bars. If you haven’t tried them yet, you MUST! http://www.healthwarrior.com/home.aspx
·      ZICO Coconut Water: As you know I have been the face of ZICO water since last August, working with them has been a pleasure, look out for my billboards and signs in your local grocery stores, buses, trucks, Hamptons Jitneys and more J
·      SUPER SATURDAY in the Hamptons! The biggest fashion party of the year. This Saturday I will be out there with ZICO, with my very own booth bringing awareness to ZICO and The AR Program, if you’re out there please stop by and say hello!
·      Last week BodyRock Sport hosted an Magazine Editor Event in Central Park and Featured The AR Program. It was such a unique experience to teach The AR Program to 10 top fitness editors, women who have seen it all. What an incredible experience. And to partner with BodyRock Sport was especially fun, the line combines two of my favorite passions, fashion and fitness!

One thing is for sure, you will learn new ways to workout more effectively and efficiently - if you aren't satisfied, please don't hesitate to tell me, your money back guaranteed!

So make a choice to kickstart yourself into a new level of fitness and come join me tomorrow!

We DID IT!

Just a short note to say CONGRATS to all my wonderful ladies who joined me in being a part of the first ever AR Program Bootcamp. You ladies exemplified the power of working together, and the synergy created when we all come together, we work harder together AND we have more fun.
WE worked out in a way that is VERY hard to do on your own. We naturally don't 'love' plyometrics and jumping and lateral movement, so this was the chance to learn it, to incorporate it and to shock your body. So proud of all you!

AND I know many of you expressed interest in getting on your own personal customized AR Program. I am offering FREE consultations the last 2 weeks of July and first 2 weeks of Aug for anyone who reads this on here (the AR Program blog). So if you are wanting to get on a regular program (one day per week is great but far from enough). I'm here to help! And as always, I am here for endless questions etc.
Keep up to date on my website: www.amandarussellworkouts.com

ANd exciting news! I will be shooting The AR Program as an online television series once per week along with a once per week health, fitness and wellness talkshow beginning in September. So hopefully my the end of the fall you will be able to tune in with me on your iPad at home, outside or in the gym!

AND lastly, if you are interested in another series of AR Program this summer, please let me know and I'll make it happen!

Cheers,

Amanda

Happy 4th of JULY!! Last Class of June Series TomorroW!

Happy 4th of JULY!!

Hi Lovely Ladies!

Hope you had a fabulous long weekend and are looking forward to enjoying some fireworks this evening! If all the bbq’s, desserts and cocktails have left you feeling a little less than fantastic, tomorrow night we sweat it all out and kick off our short week on the best note!
It will be the LAST class of this program (there will be one make-up class at some point for the one missed, but the date is TBD –we will discuss tomorrow).

You have all been incredible; your energy, enthusiasm and sheer sisterly support to one another has been amazing, so let’s finish on a strong note!

So whip out your goals from the beginning of the program and have a look back, where did you deviate? Ask yourself what worked? What didn’t? I hope you all learned new and more efficient ways of working out, shocking your body and breaking through plateaus!

I’ll keep this email short and sweet as I’m sure you’re still on ‘vacay’ day and not interested in reading my usual ‘novel-long’ emails!

See you tomorrow!

Cheers,
