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? […]
Warren Day was so overweight he had run out of numbers on his bathroom scale. When he found out his sister needed a kidney and he was too heavy to donate, he discovered the motivation he needed to get in the best shape of his life and help save his […]

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 […]
It feels like yesterday that I saw the UPS delivery truck back into my driveway on that Friday afternoon. 11-1/2 weeks ago my P90X was delivered. I remember my excitement as the UPS man walked up my driveway with the Beachbody cardboard box. Nestled inside, was another […]
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 […]
For many of us who work out regularly, depression is something we never experience. Maybe an off day here and there, but nothing lasting. To others, depression is a serious and debilitating condition that needs medical attention. For others a routine of regular exercise will work wonders. […]
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 […]
Hi everyone! Over the years as a fitness professional and also recently from my Team Beachbody members, there have been a few recurring questions that I have been getting from different people. So I guessed that if so many people keep asking me the same questions, it might be a […]

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 […]
No joke. On Thursday, April 1st, Team Beachbody introduced the new and improved Coach Compensation Plan. It’s an exciting time, because this new plan will make Team Beachbody one of the MOST generous compensation companies in all of direct sales. In 2009, our continued growth put us in 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? […]
The first time that I did this workout, it was my first real taste of Insanity other than the Fit Test and I was tentative during the workout and sore and tired the next day. This morning, I was coming off of Pure Cardio the day before and yet […]
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 […]
Happy Monday! I was so excited when I opened my April issue of Health Magazine and found that they featured a workout by Tony Horton, creator of P90X, 10 Minute Trainer , Power 90 and other Beach Body workouts. The Health Magazine featured workout borrows some of the […]
After my body had a few hours to bask in the euphoria of thinking it had a recovery day from Insanity yesterday, it came back to reality and my legs were pretty sore. When I did Pure Cardio this morning, I felt like I had done a workout yesterday but […]
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 […]
Do you ever have that thought, “Well, I’m tired and I have to ______________. Who hasn’t, right? I’ve had a busy week and busy weekend so far and I was tired from the first two Insanity workouts. I also had to get the Team Howtobefit newsletter done […]
Okay, this is a 40:00 workout and I was hoping for a little more talking from Shaun T with the clock running but it didn’t happen. I don’t know what most of you do as a warm up before you stretch and do your workout, but for some people, […]
Although the first Insanity workout is 42:00, the good thing is that the clock starts running and Shaun T is talking about the warm up. Then things start getting serious. Honestly, I thought that the warm up started to get challenging enough that I had somehow missed the […]
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 […]
I may be a running addict, but I am honest to a T. As I said in my “Confessions” post, I was going to start Insanity today and that means taking the Fit Test. Here are the relevant before stats: Age: 59, Weight: 140.8 Feedback from the Fit […]
A video is worth a thousand words, so the best thing to do is to watch the video below, but these are the basics: “Team Beachbody Trainer Shaun T took traditional interval training and flipped it on its head you perform long bursts of maximum-intensity exercises with short periods of […]
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 […]
I am right in the middle of week 3 of the P90X Classic routine. As a mom of 4 and fitness instructor, my life is pretty busy. Mostly with kid stuff. I only teach bootcamp 2 times per week because of the kids. For a few months that was it […]
Shake it off! That’s what I did. As a stomach virus went through our family, I turned to Shakeology both to settle my stomach and to provide the nutrients that my body needed. In my last post, I mentioned the progression of how I felt, and […]
