Preparing for Mothers Day

Actual article on Womens Page
After 16 years as a PE Teacher and now Owner of Punch Austin, I am still amazed at the
excuses moms make for why they do not have time to exercise. We, as women always put
ourselves last. We will do anything for our kids, husbands, family, and close friends. We can
get up at 5 a.m., get our kids to school, go to work, drive our kids to activities, get supper on
the table, make sure everyone has done their home work, and get them to bed for the next
day. But when it comes to taking care of ourselves we say we do not have enough time.
……Stop…. Think about how upset you get when you hear from your children that they do
not have time to do their homework, no time to feed the dog, no time to pick up their clothes
or set the table. Well some where they learned this bad habit of excuses!
So on Mother’s Day, REFLECT! Ask yourself: What if I did something for myself? There are 168
hours in a week. How much time can you find? How about 3 hours? Can you get up an hour
earlier than you are used to? How about asking your kids to help around the house? Can you
skip watching tv? Instead of texting friends go workout with them? Can your husband pick
the kids up from sports once a week?
In an hour, you can burn 500-800 calories in an AOS class. And of course improve cardio,
flexibility, tone muscle, and of course have fun! What a better way to relieve some stress. Hey
you might even feel better about yourself…. That could spill over into your daily life. You
might end up with more energy to conquer your crazy schedule.
LIVE LIFE FIT NOW BY TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF!

Before


I am 61 years old and have hardly ever exercised. I now have been going to punch Gym since early December. I have lost a total of 35lbs. to date. Henry and Christine are fantastic trainers who keep you motivated and on the right track to accomplish your fitness goals. I've been a member of other gyms/ fitness centers and have never enjoyed working out more than this. Working with the kettlebells is a great all around physical workout like no other. Love it!!

Egg Whites

NOW YOU TOO CAN BUILD MUSCLE & LOSE FAT LIKE A PRO !




If your Bodybuilding, Health, or Fitness Goals include Building Muscle and Losing Fat in record time while actually improving your health in the process...

Then please continue reading because I'm about to share with you a simple yet extemely effective resource that many Professional Bodybuilders, Athletes, and Fitness Models are using to help build their incredible physiques...

Imagine a protein drink that you can make taste like anything you want, any time you want. Dutch Chocolate, French Vanilla, Irish Cream, Kona Coffee, or just Orange Juice, you name it! You are only limited by your own imagination. Our All Natural, 100% Pure Liquid Egg Whites are pasteurized, salmonella tested, USDA & Kosher approved. Best of all, they are double filtered to have the consistency of milk.

You can literally take one cup of liquid egg whites, and make the fluffiest omelet you have ever had. OR, take one cup of liquid egg whites, and add some sugar free chocolate syrup, and you and your kids, if you have any, would not know it’s not chocolate milk. REALLY!

One 8-ounce cup of liquid egg whites supplies 26 grams of pure 100% bioavailable protein, with only 2 carbs., Zero Fat, Zero Cholesterol, and only 120 calories. Basically, 10 eggwhites. The worlds best protein for losing weight or managing weight for Gastric & Bariatric patients, and for building muscle.

It’s also great for kids and adults who don’t eat right. NOTE that this is not a supplement, it’s a Real, All Natural FOOD.

Want to save money on your protein powders? Just use half the suggested serving size of powder, and mix with one 8-ounce cup of our liquid egg whites in place of water or milk. Because powders are only about 70 to 80% bioavailable for 2 to 3 hours, and the egg whites are 100% bioavailable for up to 4 to 5 hours, your body will get 20% more protein absorption for 2 hours longer. Perfect bedtime drink as well.
