As some of you may know, over the past year, I have undergone a series of surgeries after tests revealed that my condition wasn’t hopeless and that my life could be saved. Some have been an inconvenience and others, the most painful experiences of my life. Yesterday was hopefully the […]

Using the concept of the CNN Heroes, we would like to recognize individuals in the Team Beachbody community who have demonstrated their passion and belief in the Team Beachbody mission, not only by transforming their own lives, but also the lives of countless other people with their dogged determination and […]
In 2002, Pastor Rick Warren wrote the book, “The Purpose Driven Life“. Shortly after that, my wife and I joined a study group to better understand the “40 Days of Purpose” created from the 40 chapters in the book. Sadly, what I learned from the book and […]
“Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.†– Natalie Goldberg Can you imagine the editor of the New York Times or even the editor of […]
Okay, who knows what that means? Answer: My House Is Your House. Why would I entitle a Team Beachbody Coach blog, “Mi Casa Es Su Casa”? Because the acronym CASAS keeps ringing in my head. In Spanish, casa is house. To me, a house should […]
These days, when someone wants to give you something for free to try or tell you about some opportunity that is great – regardless of whether they are friends, family members, co-workers, acquaintances or a total stranger – your discomfort level goes up and the wall of wariness creates a […]
I have to share an email with you that I just sent to one of my beloved Team Beachbody members and now a new Team Beachbody Coach, Kristine Chiarappo. This is what she wrote: “Wow…the ‘howtobefit‘ site is pretty amazing. Did you have someone make that for you? […]

How do you know a leader? Is it the smile on their face and their enthusiasm or their willingness to help out and find solutions? Are you inspired and motivated to do your best when you are around someone that you know is a leader? Would a […]
Team Beachbody Coaches Brad and Alicia Crawford moved to Uganda to serve as missionaries. And they brought P90X along to share with fellow missionaries. Enjoy this inspirational story of how Brad and Alicia are making a difference on a global level. You can make a difference, too, right […]
I am a compulsive googler and it seems like I am always thirsty for knowledge. Oftentimes, I will actually begin a search with, “What is…? and Google will find the answer for me. As of yesterday, though, there won’t be any need to google, “What is Team Beachbody” […]
Okay, so you are thinking, “Not some new thing that we have to do to lose weight and be healthy”. No, it isn’t something new, it is something quite old – writing things down, keeping a diary, having a training log, journaling – these are all old things that […]
In previous posts, I’ve mentioned Shakeology and its role in my health, fitness and fueling my now incredibly busy lifestyle. I have correctly credited Team Beachbody with the complete turnaround in my health which took a precipitous fall in May of 1985. You can read about those chapters […]
In the “212, The Extra Degree” movie, it says, “To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we’ve never done”. The 212 Attitude is that, “The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith […]
As Team Beachbody Coaches, we focus a lot of energy on self improvement so that we can grow and learn and succeed in order to be able to help others to do the same. Many of the steps to self improvement include reading and listening and following successful leaders – […]
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 […]
As a Team Beachbody Coach, I have offered what I believe to be a superior opportunity to having a gym membership. But like religions, you don’t say my religion is better than yours and I have not said that Team Beachbody is better than paying to go to a […]
An open letter to all of my Team Beachbody members: As your Team Beachbody Coach, it is my responsibility to use and know Team Beachbody products so that I can recommend the best products for you to achieve your goals. Everyone has a distinct fitness personality and I need […]
Being an admitted news junkie, you would think that I seek out these stories, but the truth is that they come to me. When I saw an article entitled, “Father Fights to Overcome Stroke for His Son”, I had no idea how inspiring it would be and how meaningful to […]
A case could be made that I am depressed or have reason to be, but what about you? Since the last time that I posted, I got an April Fool’s joke on Facebook that has set the tone for the next week. Clicking onto Facebook, I saw a […]
For some people, perhaps many, taking 6 days of rest and then anguishing over whether to work out on the seventh is their norm. For others, who work out 6 or 7 days a week or do doubles (more than one workout a day), a rest day just doesn’t […]
You need to lose weight, you need to lower your cholesterol, you need to get your blood pressure down, you need to… When are you going to stop being a ticking time bomb? Do you need to get the life sentence of diabetes from being overweight or obese? […]
No, not the name calling, spitting on, wrecking offices and death threats – the power that comes from being empowered through health and fitness. We had the power to reform health care by changing our exercise habits and improving our nutrition, but we did nothing about it. Not […]
As March Madness continues on to its championship, what often times sets the winning team apart from the losers? Teamwork. Pure and simply, the group of people that works best together to achieve a common goal will have the best chance of winning. So it is with Team Howtobefit. This […]
This morning was Prehistoric Preschool class at the NM Museum of Natural History and after class, the girls and I had lunch at the museum. We left there with coats, water bottles, projects, etc. and our hands were full. Before getting the girls into the car, I set […]
You probably don’t notice, but as a highly successful Team Beachbody Coach, I only infrequently post or tweet about the Team Beachbody workout that I just did. Well, that isn’t because I don’t love all of the programs that I have tried or want to be able to bask […]
Hopefully, not this, but if that is the direction your body is going right now, will you do something about it? What happened to pride? Wasn’t there a time when we took pride in our values, pride in our appearance, pride in what we did or the futures we […]
To all of the people who think that it is okay to buy bootleg copies of P90X, complain that you didn’t get the exercise guide and nutrition guide and then continue doing something illegal and buying them in .pdf or downloading them. I guess that you think that you are […]
Team Beachbody – Tell the readers what you were doing before Beachbody and how you learned about the products and opportunity. Rich Dafter – Before Beachbody, I had a successful Internet fitness site and I was a Polar authorized Internet dealer. Throughout the site, I also had banner advertising and […]
Well, everyone, one year ago today, there were 18 vitamin and supplement bottles lined up on my kitchen counter and I took all of them every day. That was thanks to a car accident that left me chronically ill for over 20 years and then finding someone who could […]
