Hey Team! The final week of Focus T25 Beta Cycle is here! These 25-minute workouts are unbelievably effective and I can see really some improvements in both my endurance and my ability to stay with the group throughout. This is also the final week of including workouts from the Body Beast program. I plan to […]

Hey Team! We’ve got just 2 weeks left in the Beta cycle of Focus T25, it’s going fast! I plan to get my hand on the additional Gamma DVDs this week and start previewing those. I will post reviews of the Gamma workouts as I go through them, just as I did previously with the […]

Hey Team! I hope that everyone is enjoying the Labor Day Holiday weekend! Who’s a College Football fan? There were some great match-ups in this first week and with the NFL kicking things off this week, it seems like there is always a game to catch on TV. The Coburns spent some time at the […]

Hey Team! How is everybody doing? Can you believe that this is the final week of August already!! I got to experience something pretty awesome this past weekend. I was fortunate enough to sit behind the steering wheel of a real NASCAR stock car and drive it for 8 laps around the Kentucky Speedway at […]

Hey Team! How’ everybody doing? Let me know what’s going on or if there is anything that I might be able to help you with! I know that I send out this weekly check-in to over 500 team members every week, but I rarely hear from YOU. Am I providing enough information that you find […]

Hey Team! The final week of the Alpha phase of Focus T25 is here and it has gone by pretty fast actually… I am excited to move onto the Beta phase and see what kind of new routines Shaun T will be throwing at us over the course of the final 5 weeks of the […]

Hey Team! So long July and hello August! How is everybody doing? Here is the Midwest, the month of August usually welcomes in the humidity and high heat. So far, however, this hasn’t been the case and I am certainly not complaining. It’s still early, so we will see if the trend continues… Week #3 […]

Hey Team! Week #2 of Focus T25 is done! As you may recall, I have been stacking this program with the Body Beast program and to be quite honest it has been a lot more demanding on my body than I expected it would be. I have been hitting the Body Beast routines first and […]

Hey Team! I know that I have beating the drum about Focus T25 loudly recently. However, until you guys have given it a try, I don’t think that you will appreciate how much fun these workouts have been and how much you can actually get done in 25 minutes! I am pretty much soaked with […]

Hey Team! This weekend I entered the BULK Phase of Body Beast and I can already tell the difference in how the muscles are worked in this phase. Chest and legs are SORE! It is really quite surprising the amount of soreness that I can experience by the subtle differences in the workouts. The workouts […]

Hey Team! I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day! Living in a state that allows fireworks to be set off by just about anyone over the age of 18, we didn’t have to leave our back patio for a pretty decent show. I am just about through the first phase of […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Welcome to the month of July; summer is definitely in full swing! Last week was pretty much a week of playing catch-up, but I believe I am all caught up and ready to take on July with a full head of steam. While I enjoyed our little break in Vegas, it is time […]

Hey Team! Back from Las Vegas and the Team Beachbody Coach Summit event. It was a packed trip, but filled with great times with some of my best friends from the Beachbody community. Along with that, some exciting announcements were made (more on those in a moment), workouts with celebrity trainers, incredible training opportunities and […]

Hey Team! I hope all of the fathers on the team had a great day yesterday. I enjoyed sleeping in a bit, getting my workout in, spending time with the family and then catching the final round of the US Open. Overall, it was a pretty relaxing day. I also finished up with my P90X2/Asylum […]

Hey Team! This is it…the final week of my P90X2/Asylum 2 hybrid! From the workout side of things, the schedule is for the most part the same as it has been for the past couple of weeks, with just a couple of minor changes. On the nutrition side however, it is a bit more challenging. […]

Hey Team! The month of May is history and ready or not; June is here! June will be a pretty busy month for me. I’m taking vacation days every Friday in June to do some family stuff, so if you don’t hear too much from me on those days that will be the reason. Also, […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! I hope everyone is enjoying the Memorial Day holiday weekend. I took an actual rest day yesterday, which I don’t do too often, but I decided that the final 3 weeks look tough enough that it would be wise to take it now. Our community pool opened up this weekend, but the weather […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Today starts my final Rest Week of my P90X2/Asylum 2 hybrid. However, looking at the schedule, there are a few routines that are far from what would normally be considered “rest”. I am now less than 30 days from leaving for Las Vegas so it’s time to really dial in the nutrition! My […]

Hey Team! I hope that all of the mothers on the team had a wonderful Mother’s Day and you were able to enjoy the day with your families! I am behind in getting this email out to you since I spent most of the day away from my desk. This is the final week of […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! This week I past the 45 day mark in this P90X2/Asylum 2 Hybrid. There are only 6 weeks left on the schedule and I can honestly say that I have not once rolled out of bed during the past 7 weeks and just utterly felt like skipping or mailing it. I am having […]
