Health and Fitness with Karina

Health and Fitness with Karina Empowering others to step into the best Physical, Mental, and Emotional Shape of their lives in 90 days using the CSD3 Method… (Offer In Person & Online).

Karina Dugand is a certified Health, Fitness & Life coach whose overall vision is to help others build stronger bodies and minds, reduce stress, lift their spirits, and bring more joy into their lives so they can achieve that better, stronger, healthier, happier version of themselves in 90 Days using the CSD3 method. The CSD3 method is a three component system created to transform their relationship to food, body, and lifestyle, through:
1️⃣ Coaching,
2️⃣ Strength training,
3️⃣ Dance. This METHOD will empower, support, and guide them to adopt lasting habit changes to live forever FIT, Physically, Mentally & Emotionally.

1️⃣About Karina's Health and Life Coaching:
With the relentless demands of work and life responsibilities, we find ourselves struggling in the pursuit of trying to transform our health and bodies and we are looking for something greater. Sometimes we don’t know what to do to change, but more often it’s that we are stuck in a rut and don’t know how to get out of it.

95% of our behavior occurs out of habit, either unconsciously or in reaction to external demands. That’s why we struggle to make lasting changes and even when the need for change is obvious and our intentions are strong, we often fall short. That’s a problem, and most of what the diet and health industry can offer is “Eat fewer calories and exercise more”. If that worked, it would’ve worked. Did you know that 98% of dieters gain the weight back? And that the average person makes the same health-related New Year’s resolutions ten separate times without success? Why is that? Because they don’t have support and accountability.​

Doctors, dietitians and other practitioners don’t have the time or the skills to help people stay motivated and follow through to get a lasting result. So, people default to their set habits, even when they know those habits make them feel lousy. Without the right system, support and accountability, this dysfunctional cycle will continue and, in many cases, get worse. That’s where Health/Life coaches like myself come in, to provide the right SYSTEM, SUPPORT and ACCOUNTABILITY so you can-finally- make that transformation you desire and to help you achieve what you want in your life.​

I offer to clients my “90 Day Health & Body Transformation Program” LEVEL UP which consist of 12 coaching sessions that result in setting up the conditions for inevitable success, discovering the foods and activities that give you the most energy for your unique body type and lifestyle, turning healthy habits into behaviors that last, which impacts you by experiencing a whole new level of strength, beauty and confidence, and having the energy to create the lifestyle you want, which can include experiencing peak health, deep harmonious relationships, a solid financial foundation and a fulfilling career. Without this help, what’s at stake for you is feeling exhausted, depleted and disconnected from yourself and everyone around you, with a sick feeling in your gut that you aren’t living the life you are meant to live.”

​​As your Health/Life coach, you will be challenged to question how you approach every aspect of your life and unlock your potential. You will feel empowered to create anything you desire and inspire to live your day by day in a way that is more aligned with who you want to be. If you think you can benefit from transforming your health and body, let me know and we will schedule a consultation session.​

2️⃣ Strength Training at Discovery Bay Personalized Fitness Assistance: The secret to a lean and fit physique lies within every individual on the quest for such a reward. No tricks or magic potions will influence the way your body looks and feels. A beautifully shaped and tight physique, a healthy lifestyle that allows you to enjoy life to the max requires an individualized program consisting of serious resistance training, cardiovascular exercise and an adherence to a diet filled with whole foods, low in fat, and high in protein and complex carbohydrates. Through my personalized one on one training program, you will get all this in the privacy and comfort of a fully equipped studio. I put my clients though a process that teaches and helps to create lasting changes which will improve their lives. As your coach, I will teach you, I will guide you and I will push you. I will encourage you, praise you and even give you an unpleasant reality check when needed! My program will help you to get your body the best it can be! Ready to work for it?

3️⃣ Dance at Zumba with Karina: If somebody were to ask me, what things has always been a part of my life? Without even thinking, I would say, “Fitness and Dancing”. I grew up in a musical country, in a family where music was always present. I danced since I was a child. I was always a part of my school dance team, took private classes, and gave private and public dancing presentations as a group, as well as couple dancing. It was not only a way of life; it also brought me tremendous satisfaction. Today, thanks to ZUMBA, I can enjoy that passion once again and share it with others. While incorporating DANCE into my fitness routine, I am also offering the BEST cardiovascular exercise there is, “high energy interval cardio training” and ZUMBA gave me the opportunity to teach and share with everyone, all the fun, energy and benefits that cardiovascular exercise can bring, all while “having a blast”! So this page is a combination of “Health/Life Coaching, Strength Training and Dance” The 3 Component PERFECT winning Fit Combo!!!

Here I am… dragging myself through a late workout after a full day of coaching, thinking about Thanksgiving.

And honestly? My heart has been so full this week watching my clients light up.
Moms glowing because their kids are coming home…
Families packing to travel…
Some even saying, “Forget it, we’re taking a vacation!”

The joy, the love, the anticipation, it’s beautiful to witness.

And it hit me:
All of that magic… all of those hugs, gatherings, dinners, laughter-filled homes…
They’re only possible because of one thing: health.

Not the “perfect fitness routine” health.
Not the “six-pack by Thursday” health.
The blessing of simply having a body strong enough to show up for moments like these.

So no, this post is not the usual “don’t overeat,” “chew slowly,” or “work out before the feast.”
(Those are great, but that’s not where my heart is today.)

My message is simpler… and deeper:
Be grateful for your health.
Because the truth is, I don’t want to take this blessing for granted.
I don’t want to miss years of memories, or leave the people who love me too early, just because I didn’t care for the one body I get.

And I’m not here to ruin your fun.
I’m here to remind you of your why.

Years from now, you won’t care if you had visible abs this Thanksgiving.
You’ll care if you can carry the groceries into the house…
Climb the stairs to see your grandchildren…
Move freely, live independently, and keep enjoying the excitement you’re feeling this week.

So show up, friends.
For the body you’re going to need.
For the future holidays you want to be present for.
For the hugs, smiles, and laughter waiting ahead of you.

Happy Thanksgiving. May it be warm, full of love, and full of gratitude for the health that lets us enjoy it all. 🧡🦃

REFLEXIONES: Sunday Reflections.
New Season, New Spark ⚡️

After taking a couple months focused mainly on spending quality time with my mom, I’m finally back in my little Sunday ritual, that quiet space to pause, breathe, and look at life through a brighter, softer lens.

And as we inch toward the end of the year, something keeps nudging me…
I turned 5-0? 🤔
I know, it sounds silly. I’m not bothered by the number, but I am noticing a subtle shift inside.
A gentle breeze whispering, “What’s next?”

I hear the same thing from so many of my clients. This mid-life transition can feel strange, like we’re evolving out of the roles we’ve known, for some as partners, or caretakers, professionals, creators, givers. And for those who are mothers, that identity shift can be even louder.

Suddenly the questions get real:

Who am I becoming now?
What does my next act look like?
What does purpose feel like in this season?

Careers change. Relationships evolve.
Productivity stops being the prize…meaning does.

And here’s the truth:
We’re not “aging out.”
We’re leveling up, not the hustle kind, but a deeper upgrade.
One where clarity replaces comparison and becoming more you is the real win.

So ask yourself:

What do I want this next season to look like?
What wisdom do I want to bring forward?

Somewhere in your story, (an old joy, a forgotten passion, a version of you that felt alive), there’s a piece ready to return. A clue about who you’re still becoming.

This isn’t decline.
It’s evolution.

A quiet invitation to embrace, adapt, grow… and gently upgrade into your most authentic season yet. 🧡

To everyone who came out to dance with us, to everyone who’s supported this cause year after year…thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💞
Your generosity, your presence, and your spirit have kept this tradition alive and glowing pink for a decade and a half.

To Trilogy, thank you for your kindness, your continued generosity, and for always opening your beautiful venue to us. You gave us a home to create memories that will last a lifetime.

To my Zumba sister Cheryl, what an honor it has been to share this journey with you. You’ve been my partner in rhythm and in heart. Though this chapter ends, our friendship continues, stronger than ever, just in a new rhythm. 💕

And to God, the ultimate choreographer of it all, thank You for the gift of friendship, music, health, and the chance to dance through life surrounded by so much love.

As this era closes, I look back with immense gratitude and forward with hope, because what we built together will forever live in every beat, every memory, and every heart that showed up to dance for something bigger than themselves.

Here’s to 15 years of dancing for a cause, celebrating life, and leaving this world a little brighter, one song at a time. 🎶💖

💗PARTY IN PINK 2025💗
15th Annual — and Final — Zumba with Cheryl & Karina Breast Cancer Fundraiser.

This one is hard to write, friends. After 15 incredible years of dancing, sweating, and raising funds together, our beloved Party in Pink with Cheryl & Karina will be taking its final bow.

This year’s event is more than just a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of friendship, love, and the power of community. My Zumba sister, Cheryl, is retiring and beginning a brand-new chapter out of California. My heart aches knowing we won’t be side by side leading class anymore… yet it rejoices because I know new beginnings are waiting for her.

For 15 years, we’ve shared not only a stage but a deep soul-level friendship. Cheryl has been my partner, my sister, my cheerleader, and one of the biggest gifts Zumba ever brought into my life. Though our dances together will end, our bond will continue across the miles. 💞

So this October 25th, from 9–11 AM at the beautiful Trilogy in Brentwood, CA, we’re asking you, our friends, family, and supporters, to join us for one last dance, one last Party in Pink, one last morning to raise our voices, our hearts, and our energy for a cause that touches us all.

To everyone who has supported us through the years: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve danced, donated, shared, and showed up. You’ve kept this tradition alive for 15 years, and it would mean the world to have you with us for the grand finale.

🎟 Tickets
$20 via Venmo to ortiz@cortiz442
In person with Sara Nino, Elizabeth
or Angela.
$25 at the door the day of the event

💖 Let’s fill the room with love, pink, sweat, and joy one more time. Don’t miss this, because this year, it’s not just an event… it’s a legacy.

✨ PARTY IN PINK 2025
📅 Saturday, October 25th
🕘 9:00–11:00 AM
