Hey Team! The month of October is almost behind us, the fall weather and season is here and the holiday season will be upon before you know it! Of course this Friday is also Halloween and we will be taking our kiddos out to Trick or Treat, hopefully the great weather we’ve had around here […]

Hey Team! The cooler mornings and evenings can only mean one thing; the Fall season is here! I am definitely not ready for winter yet, especially if it is anything like last year… How’s everybody doing this week? Are you staying consistent with you health and fitness goals? Are you ready to get back into a […]

Hey Team! It’s September and the summer is almost officially behind us…makes me sad. The last month (August) seems like a blur! Following the Labor Day weekend, most people start to get back into a more structured day-to-day schedule. This is a great time to start thinking about either re-starting or finding a new fitness […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Summer vacation is officially over here; the kiddos are back in school (they are starting the 3rd week already!) and a more regular schedule has settled in. Looking back, I think we had a pretty damn good summer! Tough Mudder down in Nashville and the Beachbody Classic in Vegas in June, a week […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! I know it’s been awhile since I sent out a check-in, my apologies for that – I am going to get back into doing these check-ins more often, at a minimum of twice per month. For those that have been following me, know that I’ve started a new round of Body Beast along […]

Hey Gang – We just got back from Las Vegas! We were there for a couple of reasons, which you are likely already aware of by now….? Of course, the main reason for heading out West was to attend the Beachbody Coach Summit, an annual event that any and all coaches are able to attend […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Hey gang – How’s everybody doing so far this month? Can you believe that June is already half over and Summer is in less than week? Well, for most of us summer has been in full effect for a few weeks now, but 6/21/2014 is the “official” start to the summer season. This […]

Hey Team! Well…May is gone, June is here and the official start of summer is just 20 days away. This is also the week of the Tough Mudder in Nashville! I am super excited about the upcoming weekend. I’ll be spending 2 days with some great friends, running an obstacle course that will have lots […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! This month is flying by and Memorial Day is just a week away! Whose got big plans for the holiday weekend? Our community pool opens up this coming weekend. However, I don’t think that I’ll be doing anything more that sticking my toe in the water; it will likely be FREEZING! The weather […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! I’ve got a lot to cover in this week’s check-in, so let’s get to it! This year, May is going to seem like a long month; it spans over 5 weeks, Memorial Day will be here in exactly 4 weeks and believe me when I tell you, I am looking forward to pool […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! The month of April is almost behind us and as May approaches many start to focus on outdoor activities, I know that I do anyway… The warmer weather around here has been great and we’ve been trying to stay active outside whenever possible. I’ve also been adding some running to my schedule to […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! I hope everyone had a great weekend. If you celebrate the Easter holiday, I hope you enjoyed the time spent with family and friends! The weather around here has been awesome this week. Things are greening up and we have been able to spend more time outside, which is great. How are you […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Welcome to the month of April! We are now less than 2 months from the start of summer – hard to believe, I know… How many of you are already thinking about your plans for the summer? What you are doing now will determine your results once the pool season is here! I […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! This is it, the final week of P90X3! This last week is really more of a recovery week than anything else, with some Yoga and Pilates and Dymanix missed throughout. I am not sure that I will follow this recovery week per the schedule; I might hit some additional workouts here and there […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Half way through the month of March already, whose ready for the NCAA basketball tournament? To be perfectly honest with you, I haven’t watched a lot of college basketball this past year. My team, the Purdue Boilermakers, was not that good and they hovered around the bottom of the conference standings pretty much […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Hang in there; spring is just around the corner! It’s finally starting to feel like there’s an end in sight here in the Midwest. This weekend we put the wraps on the first 21 Day Fix challenge group and while we are still waiting for those that participated to share their final results, […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! The final month of my first round of P90X3 is here! There is just 4 weeks left, which means I’ll be finishing up on 3/30/2014. I’ve already starting putting some thoughts into what I want to do next. I’ll have about 10 weeks to prep for my Tough Mudder race on June 7th. […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Today I am starting the final block of P90X3. This block is actually 5 weeks in length, compared to the first two blocks, which were four weeks. In block #3, I’ll get a chance to revisit some workouts that I haven’t seen for over 4 weeks, so it will be kind of fun […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! So, I’m a day late here – my apologies. We had a lot going on this past weekend and I didn’t plan well enough to allow myself time to get this week’s Check-In done. Who has been catching the Winter Olympics? While I’m not a big Winter Olympics fan, it is fun to […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! How are you progressing with your goals this week? Are you staying true to the commitment you made to yourself? If you are struggling, think about why that is the case. We all have good days or weeks and bad days or weeks. However, you can’t let that derail you from your goals; […]
