Before doing P90X I was completely miserable. I was 25 years old, stood 5′ 7â€, had high cholesterol, and weighed in at 225 pounds. With those stats, I wasn’t fat, I was obese. I knew I needed to workout but kept putting it off until tomorrow. And when “tomorrow†finally […]

Just a little while ago, I had a revelation that I needed to be receptive to receiving and acting on. That epiphany was that it is stupid to be a Team Beachbody Coach and at almost 62 to still think in my head that I am a runner. […]

If I had known that I was going to fail so many times in my life, I would have kept track. Maybe I could be setting some record. The P90X test version was first marketed in 2005 and bombed. Even people at Beachbody said that the project should be abandoned. […]

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…

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 […]
