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 […]
I have been heavy throughout my whole life and have lived in solitude, escaping to my games, which got very lonely at times. I have been on food stamps for at least 2 years because I have been unemployed and was forced to live out of my car while I […]

Ashley participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for April 29th! Before I started ChaLEAN Extreme, I was in a bad place, mentally and physically. I had NO energy, no confidence and an extremely negative self-image. I was disgusted by looking at pictures of myself. And […]
An open letter to my team of Beachbody Coaches: Coaches, you can change your body in eight weeks, you can change other people’s bodies in eight weeks and you can change lives forever over the next two months. I am proof of how successful you can be changing people’s lives […]
We had an extraordinary month of growth as a team in March and April is turning out to be equally as good. We added 28 new team members to our staff in 30 days and we are so blessed to be able to have a team that is growing […]

She’s also a mom, renowned motivational speaker, best-selling author, and the founder of her own multimillion-dollar enterprise, Powder Blue Productions ®. That’s a pretty incredible resume, even for a woman as incredible […]
Over the past week, I’ve experienced some life changing moments. Early New Year’s Day, on a cold morning as the sun was coming up over the Sandia Mountains, I took one step, heard a crack in my knee and couldn’t take another step. By 8:00 am, I was in the […]
Meet Lana D.! She participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for December 19th! As a nurse, I’m really good at taking care of other people. But I’m not so good a taking care of myself. I think it started back in nursing school when all […]

First of all, let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you. It has been an especially rough month for many of you dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and a rough year for virtually all of us. But things will get better as […]
Last night, I sat in church and listened to Alistair Begg talking about Mark 14:3-9. In verse 3 it says, “While He was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure […]
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. […]
Alli hit rock bottom in 2010. She was broke, confused and on the verge of homelessness. “Between my student loans, credit card bills and my car, I was $100,000 in debt,†says Alli. On top of her personal debt, Alli’s family was in financial ruins (her Dad was a custom […]
While I had some things to do in the kitchen this morning, I clicked on “Shuffle” on my iPhone and Business of the 21st Century with Robert T. Kiyosaki started playing. I’ve listened to it a couple of times before, and what sticks in my mind is that we are […]
Honestly, I am not looking forward to a year with “13” in it, but what if it could be our luckiest year ever? I have a to-do-list and the things on the list have to come first in my daily activities, but there are exceptions. I am a fan of […]
The “Personal Development” Message of the Month is LEADERSHIP. In a recent National Coach Call, I talked about how leadership is in the doing. Leaders don’t quit (unless they want to lead people to quit). They teach perseverance by persevering. People have told me I am a good leader, but, […]
By Carl Daikeler, Beachbody ® CEO & Cofounder The “Personal Development” Message of the Month is LEADERSHIP. In a recent National Coach Call, I talked about how leadership is in the doing. Leaders don’t quit (unless they want to lead people to quit). They teach perseverance by persevering. People have […]
After spending years in the lab, I have come up with the formula for being forever young: Regular exercise + good nutrition + positive lifestyle choices = forever young – or at least quality of life for a longer period of time than most people think possible. You […]
No, not the 2001 movie, not the 2009 movie and not the Operation Fast and Furious. I am a Team Beachbody coach and I don’t mix politics with anything and especially my blog. What is fast and furious is the pace at Beachbody Headquarters in Santa Monica and here is […]
Isn’t it great having a partner to work out with? You seem to push a little harder, sweat a little more, and somehow find that extra gear to kick it up a notch. You motivate and inspire each other, keep each other accountable, and it can even produce a little […]
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. […]
Meet Torri B.! She participated in The Beachbody Challenge’s Daily Contest and won the $500 Daily Prize for September 4th! “Before I started P90X, I was a lazy, depressed coach potato. I was so unhealthy from smoking, I couldn’t walk without using my inhaler. When my friend, an EMT, told […]

How did Sarah gain the weight? “I couldn’t control my eating. I used it as an emotional crutch. I was relieving my stress through my enjoyment of food, regardless of the consequences and emotional pain it caused. In addition, I hated exercise. I did not want to put forth that […]
On Tuesday, I was listening to a Chris Widener interview with Brian Tracy and at some point he was talking about distractions. That set off a chain of thought that has been part of my thinking all week. I grew up on a farm in rural Central New Jersey and […]
My blessings have hatched over the last five years. I never counted them before they hatched because I didn’t know what they were going to be. I had taken a step of faith, rather a leap of faith, into a big unknown for me and it has become the source […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Stress is the silent killer. Financial pressure causes a massive increase in stress, which leads to disease. There are several organizations that can assist you in managing, reducing, and eliminating your debt. When you free yourself from financial worry you are more likely to be happier and healthier.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Welcome to my Pay-It-Forward campaign. The goal of this campaign is simple – Sharing! When you see the TOPSTONE Challenge Badge, know that you’ve been challenged. Challenged to eat something nutritious, engage in exercise, and start involving others in better nutrition, health, and wellness. Copy this badge and forward it […]
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 […]
Inspiration can come from many places, but your belief in yourself will control your actions. Success stories always start with an inner desire for making something happen. There is a reason, a “why?”, that sparks our motivation, commitment and determination to reach a goal. No one else can decide […]
To change your metabolism and therefore change your set-point (the body’s preprogrammed weight) you need to spend more time exercising, which will increase that crucial calorie-burning muscle. When enough muscle has been built, you will burn so many more calories in a day that your body will have to […]
I’ve been in the fitness business since 2003. I’ve pretty much heard almost every excuse out there. I’m sure I’ve used a few myself. People tend to make every excuse they can when it comes to exercises & eating right. So many people come to me & say they want […]
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 […]
