That means you can expect some major announcements, such as all the new Success Club and Elite programs, 2012 Coach destinations, bigger and better rewards, next generation contests, Hispanic market launch details, and way more. Plus, we'll be sending surprise corporate visitors to help host select events—including Carl Daikeler, Brett Blake, Michael Neimand, Craig Holiday, and a whole bunch more.

Not being there would be like missing a flight to freedom.

The P90X Workout

P90X You’ve heard it men­tioned by celebri­ties, rel­a­tives, friends. You’ve seen it on shirts, hats, jackets.

You’ve seen the P90X infomer­cials, talk­ing about mus­cle con­fu­sion, mak­ing you lean and mus­cu­lar in 90 days. You’ve seen Tony Hor­ton on QVC, on CNN, in Men’s Health mag­a­zine talk­ing about P90X and other fit­ness pro­grams, and how long term fit­ness and health depend on mak­ing per­ma­nent lifestyle adjust­ments, includ­ing work­out out reg­u­larly and eat­ing right, as opposed to quick fixes.
Now you’ve seen all of this, and you’re curi­ous to see if P90X can work for you. I was curi­ous myself once. I have been through the workout 1 time along with some other programs. I started off at 215lbs. and am down to 187lbs. Great results were seen from the first time. How­ever, I wasn’t doing every­thing I could to truly max­i­mize my experience.

This time I’m going far­ther. I’m start­ing a new round of P90X, but I’m also incor­po­rat­ing a smarter nutri­tion and sup­ple­men­ta­tion plan.


First off, I’m mak­ing sure to take the P90X Recov­ery For­mula. Tony Hor­ton men­tions it in the P90X work­outs many, many times, it’s basi­cally like Gatorade with­out all the added sug­ars. It helps you main­tain energy and sta­mina, as well as keeping your mus­cles from get­ting as sore, help­ing you get through the entire P90X program.


I’m also incor­po­rat­ing Shake­ol­ogy "The Healthiest Meal of the Day" on a daily basis, to pro­vide a solid core to my nutri­tion plan. I’ve been drinking Shake­ol­ogy for a while now, and fully under­stand the impor­tance of it in my daily rou­tine. Shake­ol­ogy has totally made a difference in my life as I am a diabetic and with the combination of the workouts & Shake­ol­ogy my insulin intake has dropped. And my sugar levels are more in control than before. I’m really look­ing for­ward to see­ing how much my results ramp up with these additions.

I will also be incorporating Tony Horton's new book, "BRING IT" for extra support and knowledge. Tony Horton shares the fundamentals of the fitness philosophy that has helped millions of people transform their bodies and lives with photographs, easy-to-follow instructions, meal plans, and recipes.

The Revolutionary Fitness Plan for All Levels That BURNS FAT, BUILDS MUSCLE, and SHREDS INCHES!


You can watch my P90X jour­ney, as I will keep updating my progress and post pictures along the way. And maybe an occaional video also. Are you ready to begin your jour­ney? If so, click P90X and let’s do this thing together! I will be doing my fit test & pictures this Sunday, January 3rd for any who want to join me.

North Texas Fit Clubs Are Growing

Here in North Texas, the Beachbody Coaches are Bringing It for sure. Fit Clubs are getting bigger, better, and now there are more of them. What is a "Fit Club" you ask? They are FREE group workouts! Open to all Fitness Levels!!Every week, something new. Join fun, supportive communities as we work together to get healthy and fit. We use a variety of different Beachbody workouts (P90X, P90X+, Insanity, Turbo Jam, TurboFire, Body Gospel, RevAbs, etc) each week. As graduates of these programs, Coaches will be there to show modifications for all fitness levels.
We also encourage people to bring a friend, water, a towel and join us for encouragement, accountability, motivation, and an all-around good time! The WATER is highly suggested. You need to hydrate yourself because with these workouts, you will SWEAT! And that's what the towel is for.
The ones that I know of and help out with usually will post an event invite on facebook or on meetup.com and we ask ***Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. Thanks!*** Part of the reason for that is we will at times provide a Shakeology Sample and almost always provide a Recovery Drink Sample.
Most of these start at 7pm.

On Monday's at 7pm in North Richland Hills is the Ft. Worth Fit Club (Sorry, this link is to last Monday's invite. Either keep an eye out for the invites to come up or become a fan of my facebook page to keep up with the upcoming events.)

On Tuesday's at 7pm in Dallas is the Dallas Fit Club

On Wednesday's (NEW - Starting this week)starting at 6:30pm in Plano Get Fit Training & Social Hour This one is a workout, plus a little business opportunity to learn a little more about Beachbody & what we do besides working out.

On Thursday's at 7pm in Colleyville North Tarrant County & Stop Diabetes Fit Club

Also on Wednesday's (New - Starting this week) in Colleyville at 7pm Wellness Fit Club Now this one is not a workout. The Mission of the Wellness Fit club is to heal the Body, Mind, and Spirit of individuals by reversing the trend of obesity and stopping the spread of diabetes through awareness, education, and prevention. This Is Where Your Healthy Lifestyle Begins.The Team Beachbody Coaches will provide you with the support, programs, tools, and education to succeed in fulfilling your weight loss goals forever! Members of the Health Care Community will also provide information on weight loss and prevention along with long-term weight loss treatments!

Requirements: Ready To Change Your Body, Mind, Spirit, & Life Forever! Do you have the DESIRE to DECIDE! COMMIT! & SUCCEED!?

Hope to see you at one of these awesome events! And as always..."BRING IT"

My Facebook Page is DFW Fit Club

Personal Update

Almost there!! The last couple of weeks have been super busy and my personal workouts have been missed here and there. So I am finally starting my last week of P90X an Monday! AWESOME NEWS!! The doc has taken me off of my cholesterol meds! Shakeology RULES!! Healthiest Meal of the DAY and I have it at least once a day, twice on fit club nights. My blood sugars are more level than ever. Insulin intake is around 10 units at meal times and when I started it was 17units at meal times. Lantus is at 38. Also when I started I weighed 211 to 215. About half way through the program I dropped down to 203 and at the moment I weigh 208. Still AWESOME because when I started (3months ago) I was a size 38 or squeezing into a very tight 36 and I now wear a size 34. I will do pictures next weekend.

The last couple of fit clubs have been awesome. We have done P90X+:KenpoX+, Turbo Fire, INSANITY (I am totally loving Insanity). Sandy says she is still trying to decide on which one to do Monday and Alex was talking P90X:YogaX for Thursday. Listen gang, YogaX is no joke. Try it before you blow it off. Yo will still feel the burn, become stronger, more flexible and better over all after you are done. Fit Club in Colleyville was pretty packed, if anyone knows of a location we can use for free please let Alex, Tony or myself know.

I am still working on the auction letting me start a fit club up there. I hope to know something soon. Trying out a new church in the morning. I'm excited. I am hoping that God may be opening some doors for Beachbody and myself. Maybe make some contacts, start a FC there & someone was telling me to get the church to become a coach. That may take some time, if it's even the right church for us.

Oh, speaking of contacts, I did make a couple today at the Parks Mall. Talked to a lady about P90X and a guy (Rudy) about P90X, Fit Clubs and Shakeology. Hope to see you at a fit club man. Well, that's about all I can think of right at the moment. I am working on a website for my Beachbody information, Fit Clubs and Products. I should have it wrapped up in a couple of weeks when I'm on vacation. Things are still AWESOME with P90X & Beachbody. If you have questions, please ask. Comments, Let me hear them. Keep pressing play and BRING IT!!

Coaching Opportunity

Becoming a Beachbody coach has been very rewarding to me. First of all you get 25% off any Beachbody purchase. You get all the latest and greatest info about upcoming products & programs such as info on the P90X:MC2 and Insanity:Asylum. Great nutrition info. You get to meet new people and most of the ones I have met are super positive, motivated and like me LOVE Beachbody. You get customers and make 25% off anything a customer buys and 10 or 15% off anything a coach under you buys. There are all kinds of bonuses for getting coaches signed up. And the best part (for me at least) are the workouts. I Love p90X, hip Hop Abs and Insanity is really growing on me quick. I am really enjoying getting together with the fit clubs and fighting Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. (More about that in the next blog.) Over 36% of Americans are Obese in this country. With you, me and every Team Beachbody Coach, we can make a difference. With this company you go at your own pace. Some people go at it full blast and others just whenever they have time. Some have made enough $$ they retired from the 9-5 day job just to do Beachbody. Now they travel, have time to spend with their families or they are buying the things they couldn't buy before. Some are even just doing it to cover their workout & nutrition expenses. I invite you to an event this Saturday, July 24th to a Team Beachbody Coach Leadership Training. You will learn about our company and how the business side of it works. And if you decide to, you can become a coach that day and start working on reaching your financial goals. This event is free for non-coaches. Coaches are $20. You do have to register for this and you can either bring a luch with you, try to find a place to eat close by (from what I hear, good luck) or pay $12 for a box lunch. If you have questions, feel free to ask. Here are a couple of links to look into.

North Texas Fit Clubs

Hey everybody, Let's talk Fit Clubs. Fit Clubs are made up from a Beachbody Coach or a Team of Beachbody Coaches. They are set up for giving people a chance to get involved in different Beachbody programs, whether if it is a workout program such as P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire, Body Gospel, Rev Abs, hip Hop Abs, Turbo Kick just to name a few. Also to introduce people to great products like Shakeology (the Healthiest meal of the day) or P90x Recovery formula (This stuff is AWESOME! Taste like a dreamcicle) It is also a great way to keep each other motivated, informed and help each other accountable in accomplishing each others fitness goals. You can also learn about becoming a coach and the great business opportunity Beachbody offers. As of right now I know of 4 in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. There is the Ft. Worth Fit Club every Monday in North Richland Hills. The Dallas Fit Club every Tuesday close to Downtown Dallas. Thursday has the North Tarrant County & Stop Diabetes Fit Club in Colleyville and South DFW Fit Club in Burleson. Below are some links to some of the events from Facebook or Meetup.com. There is also a coaches meeting in Addison on Wednesdays.
Ft. Worth Fit Club
Dallas Fit Club
North Tarrant County & Stop Diabetes Fit Club (this is last weeks, but I know they are having one this week. Keep an eye out, I'll post the new link as soon as it Alex or Tony posts it)
SW DFW Beachbody Flit Club (this is the only link I could find, but I'm pretty sure they have it every Thursday. )
I looked on Jimmy's calendar and didn't see any future posting on the Wednesday events. If you are interested in going to any Fit Club, you can let me know or RSVP on any of the page events. If you would like to meet me at any, just let me know. I'll go to any of them. I'm at the NRH & Colleyville fit clubs almost every week.
That's about all I have on the fit clubs for right now. Hope to see you at one or if you know of one starting or one I missed let me know. I am building a web page right now and plan on having fit clubs listed on it. Keep pressing play! Modify if needed and BRING IT!

Wrong Video

The last video was wrong. Here is the video of the Beachbody Programs

Busy Body

I have been super busy the past week or so and got a little behind on updates. Before I said I was looking to find some fit clubs. guess what? I am now part of 3 here in the DFW area. If you are reading this and not in the DFW area and want to know more about Fit Clubs, tell me where you are at & I'll see if I can help you find one. These clubs I am talking about are AWESOME! We have one in North Richland Hills, Colleyville and in Dallas. I heard that there may be one in Grapevine and one coming soon to Frisco. These "Fit Clubs" are usually a weekly meeting for Coaches & guests to meet up and participate in a Beachbody Workout "ABSOLUTELY FREE". Some though may have coaches help out in paying rental space or helping out with contributing samples of Shakeology and /or Recovery Drink. These are also so coaches can support each other and help each other keep motivated. It is also a good way for coaches to introduce their guests to the Beachbody programs and hopefully purchase a programs or even become a coach themselves without being pressured to do so. It is up to you as to whether you want to commit or not. We are here to introduce you to the Activity & opportunity. Like I said the fit clubs are free, just bring a towel, some water, maybe some friends and that's it. Here is a little video on Beachbody products.

Opportunity

Hey gang,
Last week I attended a Team Beachbody Leadership Training Seminar and it was AWESOME! Craig Holiday was the speaker and if you have not had the chance to hear him you are missing out big time!! The coaching opportunity or business opportunity is still in it's beginning stages. They are only 3 years into it, so I suggest that you check it out now because it's growing and growing fast! There is a lot more than just the $$ involved though. Our main focus is geared to fighting the obesity around the world. Right now in the US over 36% of Americans are obese. But with the Beachbody programs such as P90x, Insanity, Turbo Fire, Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6, Rev Abs, Body Gospel and more along with the "Healthiest Meal of the Day" Shakeology, we can knock that number down. Also Beachbody & the American Diabetes Association have teamed together to Stop Diabetes. As you may or may not know, Type 2 Diabetes happens to a vast majority of overweight people. Beachbody has dedicated itself to provide people with nutrition guides and strategies to battle these. If you would like more information about Beachbody and the opportunity to help others and help yourself, watch this video, and if you still have questions or want to discuss it further. Feel free to contact me anytime. You get in now and work it right, you could retire from your 9 to 5 or your day job and be able to spend time with your family whenever you want. Go on vacations and trips you thought would never happen. Enough yapping, here is the Video. Talk to you soon.

Dallas Fit Club on the news

Lynette & I attended the Dallas Fit Club group workout yesterday and it looks like the perfect day to do it. Local TV Station Channel 33 The WB was out there interviewing Coach Jimmy and shooting some video of the P90X workout. We did Cardio X. The experience was AWESOME! If you get a chance, find a local fit club doing BeachBody workouts. They are free, fun, & you get to meet new people and get in shape. NOBODY will say anything negative to you if you can't do something. WE all want to see you succeed in your fitness goals. Here is the news clip. Feel free to ask me anything about the workouts or the business side of Beachbody! IT's a LIFE CHANGER!! Enjoy the clip and see if you can find me.

 

P90X 1-30-60 day transformation

Not going to say alot. Here is pictures taken on Day 1, Day 30 & Day 60. 30 to go!
Well What do you think?

Week 9 for me Week 1 for Charlie

My 14year old son has decided he is wanting to get in shape this summer. I told him I could help him out. He has watched me do a couple of the exercises from P90x and Hip Hop Abs, but never seemed interested. He said he wanted a copy of Kenpo X to take home and do, But we haven't done that. He is staying with us this week while his brother is at church camp. I believe i am at day 57 and he is on day 1. Chest & Back. Finally get to use the resistance bands. First thing I notice for me is I am knocking out push ups left and right! 30 standard boom done, 20 military, 20 wide etc... When I first started I was struggling with 15. The first day I did around 105 push-ups total with a third of those on my knees. Monday I did a total of 194 Push ups - no knees!! Pull ups and stuff to that nature I used the bands. I actually combined the Red & Green which means that those equal to about 60-70lbs. of resistance. Upped the weights again.
Charlie did great! He never quit and kept pushing to do more. He is in about the shape I was when I started this but 24 years younger and more energy than I had. He struggled with the push ups, used the purple bands for the pull ups. The boy has some balance issues. LOL

Abripper X - I nailed this one except fifer scissors. Ugh that one just kills me. They are all hard, but that one does me in. Charlie is still hanging in. Of course he is trying to keep up with me, but I have 2 months on him. He keeps up the effort and does not get frustrated, he could be the hot guy of the 9th grade. LOL We'll see if he reads this or not! Muah ha ha haaaa! Now were was I? Oh YES! No Pauses, No Breaks. We kept up good records of the Chest & Back, but he did not keep track of ARX. Today he said he was a little sore and it hurt to laugh. You will get better son. Keep the smile going!!

Today we did Plyometrics. That one got him. Some of the moves threw him off, Balance issues, said his knees started hurting after doing some of the jumps. I have to tell him to settle down, and modify the exercises to what he could do without hurting himself. We got through it no pause or break. I am jumping more, squatting deeper feeling better. Still freaking hardest one to do! Or I just push myself close to the limits. He already went to bed and crashed. Well he had better, crap, look at the time. 1:15am. Ugh what am I doing? Thanks everybody for reading. Please leave comments or questions. Don't be scared to ask!! I sure could use some recovery drink. I don't have any:( Drink your Shakeology!! YUM!! Later, bed time!!

Week 8 Recovery week

OK gang, sorry I am behind on blogs. Long story of what happened last week. Short short version. My kids Grandfather passed away and it got to me. I got frustrated because I am trying to put this together and struggling. Looking for a location to do DFW Fit Club, Events to set up a booth that doesn't cost an arm & a leg, finding people interested in getting involved. I'm sorry guys I have to vent for a minute. I am glad for all those out there having success in doing this and I plan on being one of them, but I just don't see how they do it! I talk to people, hand out 3rd party DVD's, books, cards, links, etc... And NADA!! I love this program and believe in it soooo much, and I want the world to get healthy and fit. Hell, I just want a few people to do a workout or 2 a week, month, once, something!!. COMMENT ON SOMETHING!! OK Rants over, I feel better.

Now, Week 8 recovery was a rough week, a lot going on during the week. CORE SYNERGISTICS. HOLY COW, I rocked that one. I did it all, no breaks, even did the Dreya Rolls without busting. I was able to do the side high/low push ups. Then a yoga night, still getting better with it. Skipped a night so I could do KenpoX in DFW Fit Club. No one showed so I started Hip Hop Abs. Actually started that on Sunday. Shaun T is AWESOME!! He is funny, keeps you moving and groovin and is ALWAYS reminding you to Tilt, Tuck and Tighten. These are so fun and makes you sweat!

I finally get Kenpo X done, then a YogaX again, One more Core synergistics and Stretch X. This week is done. THANK GOD! Good things coming up! I promise!!

Week 7 recap and Hip Hop Abs

Week 7 was awesome! I think I left off with Yoga X on the last blog so we will start with Legs & Back! Unfortunately I got behind this week due to craziness at work, Dentist on Saturday and just being tired! So Sunday I get on Legs and Back. I make it through without pause which is awesome! I used the resistance bands for the first time! Green 40lb band for all pull ups. Maybe it's just me but it does seems easier to a point. Still trying to figure out what the limits are to the bands or how far I can stretch them. Don't get me wrong I got a good burn using them just not used to them yet. My back is getting stronger, not in near the pain as when I started.

Ab Ripper X is getting better too. I did that one without pause either. I still have problems holding my legs up on fifer scissors and the one with the legs straight up and raise hips. V-ups is also a killer. But I am doing my best. One day I will be able to get me legs up on Mason Twist too.

Kenpo X is my favorite! No pause and in the breaks, I keep up doing the running, jump rope, jacks & X jacks! The kicks are getting better and getting faster on my punches!

Hip Hop Abs - We just started this one and it is fun! I love it!! Shaun T is funny, and explains everything and is easy to follow. (until he really picks up speed) LOL. To me, he reminds me a little like Will Smith. I am going to start doing these in the AM and keep going with P90X at night! Hell, I might learn how to dance! Tilt! Tuck! Tighten!

Week 7 Days 2&3 P90X

What's up everybody? I have to say this up front. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!! P90X is for real! Tuesday night I did Plyometrics, WITHOUT STOPPING!! I am totally psyched! If you have not done Plyo X, you would not understand. Here's a small example: 7 different types of squats, 6 jumps, and some high step moves with some sports bonuses and more. Oh and most of those you do 2 sets. If you are not tired and your legs burn like hell then you need to squat lower and jump higher. It definitely is getting me lighter on my feet.

Wednesday - Day 45 - the halfway point!! Back and Biceps! I freaking rocked this one last night! I increased the weights in about 80% of my lifts and increased the # of pull ups in every set. 85 pull ups in all, but had to use chair:( still getting better:) I can see a big difference in my arms! Now for Ab RipperX! I made it through this one - 349 core moves. I had to modify a couple but made it through without pausing!

Today we got our Showcase kit in, It had Power90, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, P90x, Yoga Booty Ballet, resistance bands, weighted gloves (which do not fit me) little ball, Nutrition guides and recipe books and got our new bag of shakeology. I am now ready to start my workout group. I am going to work my butt off this weekend trying to find a location to do it. First session is next Thursday at my house. I can't wait! Next purchases are going to be more resistance bands so I can use them in group sessions and shakeology samples. I would also like to get the P90X whey protein shake and also recovery formula. Guys and girls, if you live in the Fort Worth / Mis Cities / Arlington area please come workout with me. It's free as of now. If I have to rent a place I might have other coaches pitch in for rent. Yes, other Beachbody Coaches are more than welcome to join in! We are a Team trying to make the world healthy! Contact me and let me know! Keep Pressing play People and Bring It when you do!!!!

Week 7 Day 1

OK Last night was Chest, Shoulders and Tri's followed by Ab Ripper X.
This program, P90X, is totally freaking AWESOME. When I first started it 15 push-ups was it. I hated them hated them HATED THEM. Now, they aren't that bad. Last night I did 113. Of course they were not at one time, but they were in the course of 45 minutes. Different styles of them too. Still can't do the 1 armed push ups very good but I am doing my best. Then had the triceps curls, rises, extensions..... I added more weight once again. And those parts (chest, shoulders & Tri's) were on FIRE when I was finished.

But then again I was not finished. 15 minutes of Ab Ripper X remained. I was nervous at first. I wasn't sure that what ever I did to one of my stomach muscles was recovered from the strain or pull or whatever happened Saturday when I was doing it. But I pressed play anyway and sis them all. Once again having to press pause after bicycles. That one kills my upper thighs. And I think I hit pause before the leg climbers. One day I will get my legs up on the Mason Twists too. Overall, getting better, I think bigger and definitely stronger. Gut is still slimming down!
It's getting late & I still have to do Plyo tonight! Keep pressing play people! See you soon!

Coach Journal- First Coach

YES!! I have my first coach under me! And yes she is Lynette! Perfect first coach to have under me as well as a partner to work together to make things happen. We are looking for a building/room/available space to do workouts at least once a week. We are in the Fort Worth area but I am willing to go to an adjoining city. HEB, Arlington, NRH, Haltom City, Keller, Southlake, Grapevine. If you have some space & would like to let me use it I would greatly appreciate it. I may even let you in on some interesting business ventures ;)The workouts are free to do, All you need is some water and a towell. I have some more news coming up about this, so stay tuned!! Lynette signed up with the Shakeology starter kit. Thank goodness, we are almost out of Shakeology and I am totally hooked on the drink. The Healthiest Meal of the Day!!!Check out the information at . We also got the Showcase so when I do have either a home show, workout session, or trade show/convention I will have product for people to see. We are also looking at getting several resistance bands so we are not so limited on the workouts we can do. We have her set up with a facebook page and I have started teaching her how to use twitter. She has some really good ideas about trying to get new customers and coaches. We'll see how they work. If you would like more information about becoming a coach and making some money while you get fit at the same time, check out . There you can find out more about becoming a coach, buy a workout program or some Shakeology or P90x Recovery Drink, protein bars and much more. I need one more coach to make emerald status!! Please check it out and if you are interested, sign up, call me, email me, ask me and I will help you out and answer any questions you may have.

Week 6 Recap

WOW!!! Super busy week! Her guys & girls, how did your week go? Last workout blog was on Plyometrics so I have 4 more to go over for week 6.
Wednesday - Back & Biceps - As I said earlier the Plyo was the leg killer, well this is the one for arms. This workout consists of various curls & push-ups, and if you do it correctly and push yourself, you will come out with arms that flop like jellyfish! lol I mean I don't want to type at all after this one. This is the workout that starts out with slow 3 step curls - wide, normal & military going on Tony's count to 4 cadence. Oh and when you think you are done he'll throw in some bonus pushups. Next is curl city. Slow curls, half curls, Lawnmower pulls, more different style of push-ups. And that last set of curls is the killer set. 1 set of curls 8-10 / 10-15 depends on what you are going for muscle or lean. I went 8 reps with the mmost you can do without losing form. Then 8 more dropping 5 lbs. then 8 more -5lbs. and a last set -5 lbs. Then you have Abripper X after that! Muah ha ha Muah ahahah!

Next day would have been Yoga X, but I was totally busy doing some coaching duties & Research. I'll post about that later. So Friday is Yoga X day. Yoga X is still hard for me. I am getting more flexible and starting to learn the different positions so I'm not twisting my neck trying to see the TV while I am already twisted like a pretzel. Good stretches in it. I actually turn off the fan in the room and build up a REAL GOOD SWEAT! The Balance moves are probably the toughest for me. Getting better still. How do you say it, Namestae?

Saturday ends up being Legs & Back. This week I have been having some back issues. I had to stop in the middle of Back & bicep and have Lynette massage some spots in my lower back. afterwards I finished fine. Same with this days excersise. Made it halfway and had to stop to get a rub down again. The excersise itself is based on pull-ups and lunges for the most part. Pull-ups again one of my most hated things has many different types. Wide grip, close grip, swtich grip, etc..... After the workout, once again Ab Ripper X. I made it halfway through this and did something to one of my stomache muscles right below my rib cage. I think I did it doing the scissors. Whenever I tried doing the Roll up V-ups I could not do the V-ups at all. Unfortunately called it a day. :(

Since I am a day behind I had my FAVORITE workout doing some Kenpo X tonight, My kicks are getting better, Arms are not killing me after the punches and I totally have energy through the whole workout. I don't sit down during the breaks anymore and actually do the X jumps now!!

These last 2 weeks have just flown by. Can't wait until 60 day measurements & pictures to compare.

Plyometrics Week 5

Plyometrics is the X in P90X! I like to call it the Leg Killer. Plyo is squats, lunges jumps, high impact cardio workout! You will burn the calories and Plyo will burn your legs. I was having back issues last night and had to press pause a couple of times until Lynette gave me a lower back rub. I didn't hit pause after that. Let me tell you, by time the warm up is done you are ready to take a break. Then for the next 45 minutes you do 3 exercises in a row for 30 seconds each, then 1 for a minute, then do it all again and finally get a break. Only 30 seconds. The bonus round is fun though with a little sports moves. I could barely move my legs last night. My calves were hurting so good! I was expecting to soooooo sore this morning, but actually I felt great. That's it for now. Hopefully my arms will work good enough to type after Back, Biceps & Ab Ripper X tonight. Catch you later and keep pressing play!

Day 36 of P90X

Today's workout was Chest, Shoulders, Tri's & Ab ripper X. Push ups have always been difficult for me. If you have seen me or seen my pictures on http://beachbodycoach.com/shannon71 then you will know that I don't have big arms. I have ALWAYS HATED MY ARMS. Sorry! Also, if you have ever done or are doing the P90X there are TONS of different kinds of push ups & pullups. Today's workout starts out with Slow Motion 3 in 1 push ups where Tony count SLOWLY to 4. You are suppoesed to let yourself down and be at the bottom no sooner than when he gets to 4. Then Back up. Do that 4 times arms wide, then 4 times normal width, then 4 times Military and for the bonus do as many pushups as you can in teh time left. That's just the first. LOL. Like I said there are many different styles of pushups in this workout and different Tricept exercises. I am getting much better. I increased my number of pushups by a couple on most sets and increased weight in the other exercises. Shoulders have a real good burn going right now! Then after that hour of lovely pain & sweat comes Abripper X. The toughest 15 minute exercise I thinkn I have ever done. Boot camp has nothing on this! 11 exercises 25 reps each (for the most part) If you keep up you will have done 349 core moves.
You know, maybe back in high school I could have done Ab Ripper X without thinking twice. I WILL get to that point again. I am well on my way! I have been improving every day!! I can't wait for Day 60 to take pictures & Measurements again. I can already tell a difference from 6 days ago.
The Eating habbits are SO MUCH IMPROVED also. I have for the most part stayed away from fast food and foods with a lot of fat & grease. Cut out the crappy sugar cereals in teh mornings. Love my eggs in the AM with some Chocolate & Peanut Butter SHAKEOLOGY with some whey protien. People....Check into the Shakeology! No Joke! http://myshakeology.com/shannon71
That's it for now, Please, please, please...if you have questions, ASK?

Coach Summit 2010 Overview

DFW Fit Club

I am still looking for a location to start the actual DFW Fit Club. Let me explain. The DFW Fit Club will be set up for you guys to do a workout with me (right now using P90X or a Shakeology workout program.) I will have different ones soon. We will meet at least once a week anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the workout. I am also allowing 30 minutes to meet, talk, chill, whatever. These sessions will be ABSOLUTELY FREE!! And if I have enough request or people wanting to do more I am totally up for that too or if we need different days for people. So if you have a place and are interested in helping or if you know of a place, please let me know. Looking in the Fort Worth/Arlington/Mid-Cities area.

After 5 weeks

The past 5 weeks of P90X have been many things. Exciting, frustrating, exhausting, painful, TOTALLY AWESOME! Today I am feeling sore in my legs and butt from doing Legs, Back, Ab Ripper X & Kenpo X yesterday. But the awesome part of that is I went through ALL of Kenpo X full force with extra energy! No Pause only Play! AND I can see the changes in my physical appearance also. Resting today preparing for a new week!
Now for the coaching side of everything! I was hoping for more, but I am practicing patients. I have a couple of potential customers that have dvd's and links to video of programs. I also am about to get my first coach under me. Lynette has Decided to Commit in joining me to Succeed in our coaching programs together. What's even more awesome is that she is going to get the Diamond Pack Summit Kit! So many potentials and positive things coming up in the future.

Frustration NO Excited YES!

My last blog I was needless to say pissed off! My stupidity! I had wondered if P90x was really working. The answer was YES! HELLO!!! McFly!!!! So my measurments wasn't what I was expecting and I actually gained a pound. Here's the thing, I was looking at it ALL WRONG! Hang with me for a minute & you'll see.

#1 I am doing P90X classic. (To build muscle) not P90x Lean ( to loose weight) Then I talked to my upline coach and she sent me a link to an article, I'll include it here at the end, that explained a WHOLE LOT! Read it!! It will change your way of thinking if you are frustrated at the end of your first 30 days. Then I had Lynette take pictures (yes the horrible pictures on my profile page) But I'll be! I can actually tell a difference.

Yesterday was day 1 of week 5. Push ups have never....NEVER been my thing. But I did my best and suprised myself. Chest, arms & tri's! Holy CRAP! I was exhausted. I mean After that I sat down and felt like jello. I could barely lift my arms. I thought for sure I would be sore as hell, but with the help of some Creatine and Shakeology, it wasn't that bad! Forearms & tri's were a little sore.

Tonight was Plyo! I was not expecting the performance that I presented. I made it through 90% of the workout before hitting pause. I was kicking some bootay! I was getting off the ground and ssquatting lower than I had before. So is this program working! That would be a BIG TEXAS HELL YEAH!!!!! I now have MORE energy and am MORE POSITIVE than ever.
