One of my favorite Shakeology Recipes Most days I stick with my standard Peanut Butter & Chocolate Shakeology recipe and for the most part that is the same recipe I use day-in, day-out, it definitely feels like a cheat as I am enjoying it.

P90X3 Ab Ripper – Review Anyone who has heard of P90X is probably familiar with the Ab Ripper X routine. “I hate it, but I love it!”. I remember the first time I tried that routine back in 2009 and I felt like I was a failure. I think I got through the workout, but […]
