Hey Team! I’ve got to start this week’s Check-In by thanking everyone for your tremendous support last week with the Quarterly Beachbody Challenge contest. I can’t thank everyone enough for your time and effort. Thanks again to you all!!! While, the winners won’t be announced until 11/26/2012, I’m not standing still waiting for my […]

Hey Team! I’m down to the final 2 weeks of the Body Beast program and ready to finish strong! However, these final two weeks will be a bit of challenge for me… I’ve been trying to cut back a little bit each day on my calorie intake and shifting my macronutrient ratios (Protein/Carb/Fat) to burn […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Yesterday was Day 60 of Body Beast and I wanted to share my results with you. The Body Beast program has been a great experience for me so far. I’ve got about 30 days left and I am looking forward to these last few weeks to see just how much lean muscle I […]

Hey Team! Well…I’m back from vacation! The family and I had a great time visiting my Dad and other family members out in sunny and warm Arizona! The kids were in and out of the pool as much as possible since it won’t be until next May before they can enjoy that. Traveling with 4kids […]

Hey Team! I was a bit later than normal getting this out…sorry about that! How’s everyone doing this week? My week has been going great! The new Fall Fitness Challenge group kicked off and those that are involved are rocking it! In case you missed it, I started a new Challenge Group on 10/2/2012 and […]
Coach Chris Check-in!
Hey Team! Kind of a hectic/busy week on this front! Between soccer and playing Mr. Mom, I haven’t had too much time to think about what I planned to write today… This is a crazy time of year for a lot of people with a lot of things going on; fall sports for the kids, […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Next Tuesday will be my Day 30 of Body Beast, and I really love this new program! I plan to post a review of the first phase soon, so be on the lookout for that early next week. The program certainly has some pros and cons, which I will get into in the […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Each week I try to keep everyone on my team informed with everything that is going with me fitness wise and within the Team Beachbody community. I also try to take this opportunity to provide everyone with some words of encouragement, motivation and inspiration. I trust that all of you who get these […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Week # 2 of the new Body Beast program is just about in the books and I’ve got to say that I really love this new program. I have always been a P90X/Tony Horton fan, but this is just different! Perhaps it is all ego or vanity talking…? I have been seeing some […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Last day of August and the start of the Labor Day weekend! I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend with your friends and family. How has everyone been doing? I recently posted a question in our team Facebook group (which if you would like to be a part of and […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! I made it! This week I finished my 21 day journey through the Beachbody Ultimate Reset program. The program really was a “workout in the kitchen”! Instead of putting in an hour/day working out to stay fit and looking good on the outside, I was in the kitchen cutting veggies and prepping meals […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! How’s everyone been? Has the “Back to School” mentality set in yet? I’m fortunate to have a couple of kids that really enjoy school and everything about it. Well…except the homework stuff, they get it done, but there is quite a bit of reminding that has to go on. I have just a […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! I’m really excited about tomorrow; it will be my first Warrior Dash! Terrible planning on my part since I am about half way through the 2nd phase of the Ultimate Reset… Planning to up my intake a little bit today to ensure I don’t bonk a mile into the race. I’ll be in […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! How many of you have been watching the Olympics lately? I try to catch them when I can and when I do, I am always amazed at how those athletes can do what they do. How easy they make it look, it is pretty impressive! What many people don’t think about is all […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! There are lots of things coming to an end this week. My two oldest kiddos are headed back to school on Monday….yeah back to school BEFORE August! It seemed like such a short summer for them. At least the pool will still be open for another month. August around here is generally miserable, […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Well, we FINALLY got some rain in our area this week! It was getting pretty ragged around here, even the 10 year trees we have in our yard were showing signs of stress. Hopefully the remainder of the month of July is a little less like Death Valley and more like the typical […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! What an exhausting week! Glad it is pretty much over. Very busy at work this week and combine that with all of the craziness of this X2/Asylum hybrid…my alarm keeps going off earlier and earlier, or at least it feels that way…! I actually have a 3-day weekend coming up and we are […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July holiday. Unfortunately, this year the 4th fell smack in the middle of the week, so only one day off from work for this guy…oh well, I’ll take it! I’m not sure about where you are, but wholly smokes, the weather is HOT and […]
Coach Chris Check-In!
Hey Team! Sorry about not sending out a check-in last week, a bit of a hiatus while at the Coach Summit in Las Vegas. It was a great experience to meet so many other passionate coaches from around the country who are committed to make a difference in other people’s lives and start the movement […]
Coach Chris Check-In
Hey Team! Well…I am officially a year older this week. My wife asked me if I feel any older. My immediate thought/response was “NO”! I had just finished my Ab Ripper X2 routine, so while I was worn out, I felt great! I think my actual reply was something like the following: “If I hadn’t […]
