With such horrific things as the shooting in Aurora, CO happening all too frequently, why shouldn’t I be glued to the TV to learn more? That’s a good question when so much of everyone’s attention is focused on those events and all of the bad news in the world. My […]

Did you ever do a 360? We all do at times, but I recently did one with the way I eat! I tried the Beachbody Ultimate Reset, which when I first heard about it in January I had no intention of doing. But we all know how weird life is…the […]
I’ve been exercising regularly for years now, that it’s become a habit I don’t think about, I just do it! It’s a non-negotiable part of my day that I schedule 5 days a week. I often don’t have the time, but I make the time for my health. […]

May 5th was my 44th birthday and a time for reflection. Looking back to when I was 18, my self-image was that of a pudgy young man, too embarrassed to go shirtless in public, too embarrassed to dress out for gym class. In fact, the image below is one of […]

Sean sure did with P90X… Heather sure did with Insanity… These people sure did by entering The Beachbody Challenge… Do people really get results from using Beachbody workout DVD’s? A video is worth a 1,000 words. You be the judge…
Five years ago, I began a journey with no destination. It was an adventure of sorts that became a business venture. Yet at no time in the last five years did I feel like I was “working” and, in fact, I derived a lot of happiness and success from […]

I have heard a lot of people say that they use chocolate milk as a recovery drink for their P90X , Insanity, or other Beachbody workout. Chocolate milk is not necessarily a terrible thing to use after a workout, but is it the best thing to put in your body […]

Whether it was a seed that was meant to be planted or just something that has stuck with me over the years, I don’t know for sure. But when I was a sophomore in college, I took an aptitude test and the results showed that I should be either […]

Many people ask me about the effects of Shakeology, and I’m happy to share, but until you actually experience the benefits of this superfood it’s hard to believe how amazing it can make you look and feel! It is not a “regular protein shake”, rather exceptional nutrition containing 70 […]
As I was vacuuming today, I was really taken aback by how much I enjoyed the task lately. Weird, right? But recently my husband and I decided enough was enough with the less expensive vacuums always letting us down. We decided to bite the bullet and invest in a Dyson. […]
I love watching how my children have developed healthy habits in nutrition, fitness and health. I teach them all about food groups, portion sizes, what and when to eat, reading labels, and so forth. We encourage physical activity with exercise, sports and dance, and promote good habits for […]

Instead of just working on your body and building your body, you could be building your dreams and building the dreams of others at the same time. Are you just going to the gym or working out at home and solely thinking about your issues? Well what about the same […]
To eat organic, or not? That is the question on the minds of many Americans. Personally I try to eat an organic diet most of the time. It seems a little difficult to eat strictly organic all the time for a few reasons though. One reason is the vast […]
Valentine’s Day is approaching fast! And we only have about 100 days or so until Memorial Day weekend! Where does the time go? So who wants to get their “SEXY†back? The holidays have a way of plumping us up and the end result is we start feeling sluggish, bloated, […]

The key to maintaining a healthy weight is all about portion control. It’s not about giving up foods you enjoy, but rather controlling the portions and being mindful of how much you consume. The healthiest way to eat is combining proper food groups, in appropriate sizes, every 2-3 […]
Shakeolog is a delicious patent-pending formula that is packed with proteins and energy-providing carbohydrates, plus a combination of nutrients that is simply impossible to find at your local supermarket or even health food store. Beachbody searched the world to find acai and goji berries, camu-camu, quinoa, wheatgrass, maca root, and […]
Here is a side effect of using Shakeology that my wife and I did not plan for. Back near the end of last summer, we considered contacting our local garbage servicing company and requesting another garbage can. We had one large recycle container, and one large trash container. Because we […]
I’ve been getting asked these two questions recently, and thought I would provide an answer – Question 1 – What does TOPSTONE mean? TOPSTONE is the name of our business for very specific reasons. In the literal sense, TOPSTONE means ‘the final stone, placed on top’. What TOPSTONE means […]
Maybe you’ve seen the info-mercials for P90X, LES MILLS PUMP, or TurboFire and you were impressed. And then, you thought to yourself – There is no way I can do that. Those people are already super fit. Well, there is no denying that those folks are super fit, but there […]
Our meat and dairy supply is loaded with growth hormones. These hormones are given to the animal to speed growth in order to increase production and profits. When you consume meat and dairy you are giving yourself massive amounts of growth hormones. This leads to obesity, and is one of […]
Making resolutions is the easy part, following through with them is the challenge! Many obstacles can get in our way from reaching our goals, our attitude included. The biggest thing I have learned is how my mind can have so much power over my actions. Deciding you want something […]
Vitamins are chemical substances that serve a wide variety of purposes in the body. They regulate the chemical processes responsible for converting ingested food into an energy source that the body can use. Vitamins also feed metabolism, aid in cell rejuvenation, and help process the foods you eat, which in […]
I felt like I needed to write something up on why I decided to put P90X2 on hold for now. Yes, I was really going to stat P90X2 on January 2nd, but I have to tell you, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I pre-ordered it because I wanted […]
One of the main causes of indigestion, heartburn, gas, bloating and constipation is a lack of digestive enzymes in your stomach and intestine. Because of antibiotics, other nonprescription and prescription drugs, chlorinated and fluoride-full water, it has been shown that most people simply do not have enough digestive enzymes in […]
Step 1. Make sure that the very first meal of your day is chewed up completely. Do Not let any food or liquids enter your throat until it has mixed with the proper amounts of saliva and enzymes. The key is to digest the foods as much as humanly possible, […]
Most of the time, we grind through the days, handling everything thrown our way, and doing our best to make it look easy. As a dad to 4 very incredible young men, I can honestly say that I could write 8 hours a day, each and every day, for the […]

Quinoa, one of the 70 plus super foods found in Shakeology helps fight migraine headaches, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and that’s just to name a few.
Some things are easy to do, but very difficult to actually do. Having the will to act means more than just thinking you should work out, clean the garage, or play with your children. Having the will to act makes you different because you actually do the things you know […]
Super Food (Sacha Inchi) is one of the 70 plus super foods that make up Shakeology. Sacha Inchi is naturally rich in protein and fiber, so it’s a strong appetite controller (nature’s diet). Then it goes a step further by helping to speed up your metabolism, so you can […]
I have a love/hate relationship with my age. I don’t feel my age and to most people I don’t look my age, but I admit, I’m over 40. I don’t want to get into the whole psychological discussion on how society views women and age. Its not my intent. […]
Oh, Those Aching muscles! If you’re feeling a little bit stiff and sore after your first few days of working out again, don’t despair. It’s totally natural. If you haven’t exercised in a while, then the several dozen squats, kicks, push-ups, or gingas that you did over the past day […]
