Back in 2009, when I started on my journey, I was randomly assigned a Team Beachbody coach, but not once was I contacted by that “coach”. Now unfortunately, this happens from time to time as some coaches are not as engaged as others are and/or should be. Which is fine, but for the unlucky members […]
While I love the ab routines that are part of the P90X, P90X2 and P90X3 programs, I am always looking for some ways to mix things up a bit in the Ab department. We all know that if were to stick with lifting the same weights in the gym every time, our bodies would hardly change. This is […]
Beachbody Classic – 6 Weeks Out – A Reminder that Everyone Needs to Hear Hey gang, here is an update on my progress towards the Beachbody Classic in June. As I finished today’s workout, I thought about my past 10 days and wanted to share my thoughts. I think that they are applicable to a […]
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 […]
Keith Got the Results He Wanted with P90X! This is one of those success stories that just kind of blindsides you and really shows what one can accomplish over the course of just 90 days when you are committed! It was only by chance that Keith and I got connected. When Keith signed up for a […]
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 […]
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 […]
What, Why and What’s Different? As I am training/preparing for the Beachbody Class physique competition in June, I wanted to document my journey along the way. Here is my first of hopefully many updates on my progress towards that event. Ready to give Body Beast a try yourself? Start with just the program or […]
Warmer weather means smaller clothes. Swimsuits, shorts and tank tops can be your worst enemies if you haven’t been getting regular exercise for a while. So now is the time, with days being longer and temperatures milder, to start working out in earnest. However, summer also means parties, socializing with friends and family, and food. […]
Getting Started is Easy! Want to show off the body you have work so hard for and possibly earn some prize money just for working out? With the Beachbody Challenge contest, you can do just that. I’ve won both the daily ($500) and the monthly ($1000) contest in the past and I know that you […]
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 […]
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 […]
P90X Increased Don’s Self-confidence! I’ve got to share this inspiring story with you! Meet Don. Don isn’t a 20-something guy that just woke up one day and started to change his lifestyle and start working out and eating better. Don is a husband and fully employed dad just like me, so time isn’t just something […]
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, […]
A New Challenge Here’s a little challenge for all of you! I didn’t come up with this one, but I had to give it a try. My first attempt was on 4 medicine balls and I failed at the 2:25 ish mark. Check out the video below and see if you can count how many […]
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 […]
6 Pack – Achieved! While I didn’t know Jeff during the days of his “before” photo, I’ve have gotten to know him a little more over the past couple of years and he’s a true inspiration! Just like me, he’s a father of 4, but he committed to making a change in his life to […]
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; […]
Track your exercise! It’s simple, easy, and effective. When you keep track of what you’re doing each day, you’ll stay on course toward your goals and improve your health. Score! Your tracking method can be as simple or complex as you like. To make it easy (and rewarding), I suggest using the calendar that accompany […]
Hey Team! Who watched the Super Bowl last night? What a great game! Well, if you were a Seahawks fan it was anyway… Since Peyton Manning has his roots here in Colts country, I was really glad to see him make it back to this game. Alas, the game wasn’t anything like I thought it […]
