Hey Team! Alright kiddos, the strength phase of this hybrid is kicking my tail! Last week was the first week in nearly 4 months that I did not do any Yoga. No…I didn’t skip, it just wasn’t on the schedule. I think it was the first time that I knew how much Yoga helps me […]

Hey Team! This week I started the 2nd phase of my P90X2/Asylum hybrid, the strength phase! I was certainly ready mentally for the transition and last week’s recovery prepared my body. The schedule is pretty grueling, you can check it out here: P90X2 Asylum Hybrid Schedule, and I hope that my body doesn’t break down during this […]

Hey Team! Who has already started the Memorial Day weekend? I tell you, I wish I have. The weather is warm and I have lots to get done this weekend. Actually, last weekend I planted a small garden for the first time. We will see how it turns out, but hopefully by the end of […]

Hey Team! Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the mothers out there! One of the traditions that we have at my house on birthdays and both Mother’s and Father’s day; is breakfast in bed. The kids really get into helping out on Mother’s Day, I have no idea how much they help on Father’s Day… […]

Hey Team! This week I started my P90X2/Insanity: The Asylum hybrid! Man what a week! I have done a few a of the original Insanity routines in the past, but never a full 60 days. The Asylum program is based on a lot of the same cardio moves that are featured in Insanity, but with […]

Hey Team! I’ve only got about 3 more days until I start my next 90 days. This time around it is going to be a hybrid of P90X2 and Insanity: The Asylum. Of course, I am pretty familiar with P90X2, but The Asylum…that is going to be entirely new for me. I have previewed some of the routines […]

Hey Team! Well, I can now say that P90X2 is behind me…At least for another 10 days or so when I start back up! P90X2 was such an awesome follow-up to the original and I am really happy with how they put this program together. You can read my review and see my results here: […]

Hey Team! Well…It’s Friday the 13th and so far nothing bad has happened to me…But honestly, I don’t put a lot of thought into things like that. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even realize it was Friday the 13th until I started thinking about this Check-In… This marks the final week of my […]

Hey Team! I usually start off my weekly check-in with a little bit about how things are going for me. This week I am flipping the script and putting some team members in the spotlight who were graciously willing to share their success story with the rest of the team. It has been an awesome […]

Hey Team! Phase 3 of P90X2 has officially started for me and actually, by the time you are reading this, I’ll only have 2 weeks remaining! The final phase is somewhat repetitive with the routines, but they are some good ones; P.A.P. Upper and P.A.P Lower. What the heck is P.A.P.? It stands for Post-Activation […]

Hey Team! Day 60 is here for me and I’ll be posting my photos later today or over the weekend. The first 60 days have really gone fast and now that I have only have 30 days left to P90X, I really need to buckle down and make sure I finish strong. Like me, many […]
Coach Chris Check In!
WHY Why are you working out? Why are you reading this? Why are you pushing play? Why are you studying P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Pump, etc…, and watching YouTube videos to decide if you even WANT to push play? You can do all the research and planning you want, but if you haven’t asked yourself the […]

Hey Team! Less than 100 days left until the start of the Memorial Day weekend! I’m already in my second week of phase 2 of P90X2 and posted my 30 day photos. While I didn’t have the stellar progress that I expected during that first 30 days. Many of you and my friends indicated that […]
