Sheree, 44, is a busy mom of 3 and wife of Emmy Award-winning actor - Steve Burton. Her workouts are challenging but fun and she knows how to make any woman feel at ease especially when first getting into fitness. Sheree is full of unique ways to get fitness into your daily regime and her nutrition coaching and skills help women achieve life-long habits with healthy eating.

Here are the five things!1. Stay hydrated! A minimum of half our body weight in ounces just to stay hydrated. When you add in exercise, you need to add to this number. Sheree personally aims for 1 gallon a day. The harder you work out the more your body needs water.

2. Do at least 30-60 min of exercise 4-5 days per week. Anything that gets your heart rate up. Grab some weights and do resistance training - it really helps with overall toning up and muscle definition. Some of Sheree's favorites are squats, walking lunges, push-ups, and lying leg lifts.

3. Abs and most all of it are made in the kitchen! You cannot out-train a bad diet, so COUNT YOUR CALORIES! Know what you’re eating. Make sure you’re consuming enough protein throughout the day. Without it, you cannot build and maintain lean muscle. Download a calorie counter and figure out where you need to be based on you and your goals.

4. SLEEP - 7-9 hours of sleep a night. We often forget about how important this is. Lack of sleep can affect our hormones and overall brain function making it more difficult to lose weight or stay on track.

5. Avoid or drastically limit alcohol. Alcohol is not your friend when trying to lose weight or get “beach body ready”. Alcohol has too much sugar, calories, and carbs - and it will definitely hinder all your hard work.
