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 […]

Teachers, coaches and mentors need to do what? Make people aware of the benefits of what they are being taught, coached or mentored in. Without a clear benefit or benefits, few people will respond to your call to action. I searched on my website, Howtobefit.com, and found 452 articles with […]
Yesterday was our day of Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for. Our bounty is enormous compared to that of most people in the world today. So much so, that it has changed the way that we look and live. When the original colony of Plymouth was […]

I was thinking when I was running this morning that form is everything when you want to be efficient, conserve energy and lessen your chance of injury. I’ve heard that poor swimmers, for example burn way more calories than good swimmers. Makes sense, right? Running with good […]
Team Beachbody is filled with highly motivated, truly extraordinary people. I got to meet some more of them at a Super Sunday event here in New Mexico. One of the greatest rewards of being a coach has been to meet and become lifelong friends with so many of these coaches. […]
This Saturday and Sunday, Team Beachbody ® will take a stand for humanity and come together with a common mission: to End the Trend ® of obesity and help more people than ever lead healthy, fulfilling lives. If you heard Carl on this week’s National Coach Call, you have an […]
I’ve been on a roll and posting some things on Facebook that weren’t exactly politically correct. Here are just a few: Scott posted about food regulation and I personally think that people are just plain stupid to eat the way that they do. “I don’t eat any junk food, […]
Which antidepressant is right for you – pills or a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise? More than one in 10 Americans over the age of 12 takes an antidepressant, a class of drugs that has become wildly popular in the past several decades, U.S. government researchers said today. Antidepressants […]
I had today’s newsletter all done in my head and I just had to put it on “paper” and send it out. Then I read something by one of my fellow Team Beachbody Coaches, Julie Ann Price, and I knew that I had to share it with you today. As […]
I am a voracious reader when it comes to faith, family and fitness and Thursday I read an article in the New York Times that I find disturbing. It is entitled, “China’s Next Revolution Is in Fitness” which on the surface doesn’t seem that interesting or significant but this line […]
Do you know why you do what you do – your “why” that everyone says that you have to have to be successful? Do you know why things have happened in your life that have changed the course of your life and you didn’t understand until some time later? My […]
A little story about crabs in a basket posted by Patty Sweeney Corrigan on Facebook If you place a sole crab in a stock pot and heat it, it will readily attempt to climb out, it will escape, and potentially achieve freedom! However, if you place two or three crabs […]
Is Team Beachbody A Scam? This is a great question. The world is so saturated with weight loss products, programs and advice. Deep down you know much of it is total garbage but how can you sort the good stuff out from the scams? Legit Vs. Scam […]
This morning, I read this headline, “Obesity to Worsen, Weigh Heavily on Healthcare Costs“. The article went on to say that “If present trends continue, about half of both men and women in the United States will be obese by 2030, health experts warned”. What is most tragic about this […]
There’s that word mission again. I recently used it in another blog post and stated how I can’t say, “mission accomplished”. This time, though, it is so appropriate because the Team Beachbody community is on a mission to end the trend of obesity and the epidemic of diabetes. […]
I am about to go on a rampage of outrage because of the state of this country right now and we are all in some way responsible. If you don’t think that the fate of this country is in our hands, then think again. Here are some statistics that speak […]
According to Wikipedia, “Happy Hour is a marketing term for a period of time in which a restaurant or bar offers discounts on alcoholic drinks, such as beer, wine, and cocktails. Typically, it is in the late afternoon Monday through Thursday, usually taking place at some period between 4 PM […]
don’t know how many of you listen to KLOVE. For me, it is an essential part of my spiritual diet and I listen to it at home, in the car and on their app. Their slogan is Positive, Encouraging K LOVE and their message is positive every day and it […]
Over the course of the last day and a half, I have read and seen so much about how Osama Bin Laden was relentlessly pursued until he was eventually found and justice was served. It took almost 10 years and obviously there were many setbacks and disappointments, but the ultimate […]
New York City is the city that never sleeps and I am the coach that never sleeps. I am relentless in working toward the goals of Team Beachbody and labor with integrity, sincerity and a deep sense of faith in what is right and in the opportunity that has been […]
P90X is not a weight loss program, yet most people lose weight by doing it. This is because most of those people begin the program with more body fat than they’re happy with, and getting ripped means they’ve lost body fat and weight. But some people want more. They want […]

I’ve been trying to post this for two days, and I just realized that’s a good thing. I had originally entitled it, “Why, How and What” but fortunately changed the subject. Had I gotten it done yesterday, I would not have read Darren Hardy’s article about the May […]
I am paying the price this week for my all out assault on cleaning the house. The garage itself is completely finished but not heated, so in the colder months it tends to accumulate all of the things that we just couldn’t throw away. Well, that all changed […]

“Loved it. Great ride. I’m in my self-imposed recovery mode this week. I’m mainly doing Fat Burning Express and numerous Ten Minute Trainers. I’ll do at least one Sweat 3-4 too. I’ll weigh myself on Thursday, and I expect the scale to be 186’ish. Last week, […]
What happens if you have a bad day and miss a scheduled workout or don’t feel like you put in a good effort? Yesterday I was scheduled to do P90X Shoulders & Arms and even though it was 6:00 am, I was already having a really bad day. In […]
I passed a milestone on Thursday when my commissions as a Team Beachbody Coach surpassed $100,000.00. The only reason that I am telling you that is because I want you all to know that it is possible to make money with Team Beachbody. With daily effort, passion, perseverance and patience, […]

How do you feel about where your life is going right now? I am currently on my sixth day of another round of P90X and I already feel empowered. I feel stronger and fitter and have a better mental attitude because I am going in a positive direction […]
P90X day 5 is Legs & Back and I loved it! I didn’t need Tony Horton to motivate me or inspire me like he did yesterday with Yoga X. Today was exactly what I wanted to do – work my legs hard to give me a strong foundation […]
Do I have a secret weapon that I use to keep my busy schedule with parenting, working , working out and living life to the fullest each day. It is no secret that my faith is an integral part of my life, but is there anything else that I […]
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” – Proverbs 23:7 Your mental images manifest in your physical world. Here are some questions you need to ask yourself: 1. How can you become lean, fit and healthy if all you think about is gaining weight and eating your […]
Honestly if I am doing another Beachbody workout program in between rounds of P90X, I don’t think much about the order of the P90X workouts. I auto schedule them in WOWY and whatever comes up in the first week is what it is. Today, when I saw that it […]
Compared to yesterday’s Plyometrics X workout, today was no sweat – or at least I wasn’t sweating like I was yesterday. I woke up with sore legs and knowing that my body had moved in ways that it wasn’t used to after yesterday’s workout. After listening to Tony Horton’s […]

Life brings lots of changes and challenges and how we deal with them defines what we are made of. I once remember reading, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Life got tough and I got going. My passion for running was boxed up and […]
