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. […]
Can I Make Money With BeachBody? You may have been involved with other direct sales businesses in the past and not made any money. It is completely understandable that you want to know if you will actually make money with BeachBody before you join. The true answer to “Can […]
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 […]
Is A Boot Camp Right For You Does just the mere name “Boot Camp” make you uncomfortable? Do you think only the super fit can do a boot camp style workout? I want you to dismiss any thought that you can’t do a boot camp – if you are […]
Do I Have to “Sell” To My Friends & Family? By Julie Ann Price One of my personal pet peeves about home businesses is that the first piece of advice you always get upon starting your business is to make a list of 100 friends and family and go sell […]
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 […]

Julie Ann Price I have been called a serial entrepreneur. The first time I heard that I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing but I have since decided it fits me perfectly. I love to take an idea and research all I can about it. Then I turn […]
I’m a wife and stay at home mom of 4. I started out in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. Pilates instructor and group exercise instructor. It became increasingly difficult to train my clients, teach classes with my husband’s busy work schedule & worrying about who would watch the […]
Shakeology 101 What is Shakeology and is it worth the price tag? That is the most frequent question I get about the Beachbody nutritional line. Let’s shed some light with Shakeology 101. Shakeology 101 – Shake Type Shakeology is a meal replacement shake as opposed to a protein shake. […]
Are you wondering if Insanity is for you? Have you taken a look at the workouts and asked yourself – “why would anyone want to do a workout that hard?” Yes, Insanity is that tough, so is it for you? If you like a challenge, then you might […]

Achieving results for your weight loss, fitness and health goals can be frustrating, especially if you want instant gratification. Just like anything worth having, consistency, commitment, and patience will prevail! Here are a few thoughts I want to share with you to help keep you motivated and successfully achieve your […]
I just wanted to write a quick post and update you on what I’ve been doing. I just about completed Insanity, got all the way to last week of month 2. I had Asylum sitting here waiting for me since April and I had mixed feelings about starting this […]
Sometimes things happen that are out of our control, but it’s how we deal with them that can make or break us. As I have written before, I have a history of back issues due to an injury that happened back in 2000. Every once in a while […]
I like to stay positive but since I watched the clips from the film Food Matters some things have bothered me. I posted the clip on my wall on Facebook and figured this could be good motivation. For years I have known people, my mother being one, whose doctors tell […]
Teaching my children to make healthy choices including nutritious foods and good exercise habits is a powerful priority for me. Establishing a strong and positive foundation for a healthy lifestyle now in my children will enable them to be successful into adulthood, and lessen their risk for diabetes, heart disease, […]
My good friend Stephanie Goetsh, founder of HerExchange.com, has come together with me on an Insane journey to Insanity: The ASYLUM. Here’s what she has to say so far… A couple of weeks ago I (Stephanie Goetsch) got a call from a friend of mine, Diana Collins. […]
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 […]
Ever wonder why kids have a never ending source of energy? Watching my kids run around outside enjoying the fresh air and having fun made me think. My children are much happier, more energized, and have better concentration after enjoying physical activity. Everyone can experience these results and feel the […]
Empanadas have become a favorite easy recipe whenever I make a roast chicken or turkey. Traditionally empanadas are stuffed with beef and cheese, then deep fried. But this version is made healthier by baking the empanadas, using roast chicken or turkey breast, adding beans and less cheese. You may […]
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 […]
Last week I set my plan, finish my advanced round of Power90, then move on to Insanity: The Asylum. Two days later, my shoulder said, not so fast. I woke up and couldn’t lift my arm much above my waist. Ouch! Did I overdo it? Possibly, but I don’t think […]
I do believe Asylum is my favorite workout program to date! All the workouts in this program are created to prepare you for Game Day, the first of which is on day 11. I was nervous for Game Day since Vertical Plyo is the craziest workout ever created […]
I’m almost done with week 4 of Insanity. I never thought I’d say it, but I really love it now. Last summer, I missed Tony Horton so much while Shaun T. put me through so much torture. But I think Shaun has won my heart, although I will always […]
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 […]
We’ve all felt that feeling of dread when we know we should work out, but just can’t seem to get motivated. You may be comfortable in your sweats or pajamas and don’t want to even think about changing into workout gear. You’re so tired and maybe even a little […]
Everyday someone wants me to make up a meal plan for them. I used to do this for my personal clients for free. But honestly I stopped because it was time consuming and I wasn’t getting paid for it. Don’t get me wrong, I do love to offer […]
Do you know what’s holding you back from success? Its FEAR. FEAR is false evidence appearing real. Fear can hold you back from weight loss, exercise, a new career, a new relationship, ending a bad relationship. Fear is you being your own worst enemy. Don’t sit there wondering what if, […]
I started my first round of P90X on December 31, 2008. It wasn’t a New Year’s Resolution, that just happened to be the day I started. Before that, I was not a fan of exercise. I didn’t know how or what to do, and saw no purpose in figuring it […]
WOW…I did not like this workout! Not because it’s not absolutely amazing, but because I felt so completely out of shape with it. I don’t think any amount of Insanity can prepare someone for Vertical Plyo. My goals with Vertical Plyo is not only to be able to get through […]
A fit body creates a calm mind, a healthy soul and so much more!! Since I learned from my nutritionist how to eat right and found effective exercise programs, life seems a lot easier and happier for me. I would struggle daily with many ordinary things, my attitude was poor, […]
I love using the P90X Nutrition Guide and the Insanity Elite Nutrition guide for recipes. Since I love to cook, I often make my own versions of the recipes. Last night we had breakfast for dinner. The night before I had made a salad with cubed chicken and […]
I get asked a lot of questions about supplements. Do I need them? Will they help my results? What should I take? When should I take them? Do you take any? The short answers: No, yes, varies, varies, yes. There you have it. Have a great week! Wish it was […]
This morning marked Day 15 of Insanity for my husband and me. Day 15 means another Fit Test! I was really excited to see if I had made any improvements from the first Fit Test. So down to the basement we went at an early morning hour. I’ll tell […]
I anxiously awoke at 5am this morning to start my 1st day of Insanity: The ASYLUM to realize there is also a performance test to take before beginning the program. The Performance test goes through 10 different activities that you can compare every 30 days. Undeterred I decided to go […]
You want to lose weight. You watch Biggest Loser, see them running the treadmill, sweating away pounds. You run 3-4 times a week and eat foods they advertise, Subway, Jenny-O, etc. And yet, your weight barely changes or remains the same. What’s missing? Variety! Do you watch ALL of the […]
My husband and I just finished week 2 of Insanity! Yay! We start our next Fit Test on Monday and I can’t wait to see if there are improvements. I can already see improvements with my husband’s form, flexibility and coordination. We’re making our way to the Asylum!! Its recommended […]
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now. But didn’t have the time LOL! Seriously, I get so many people who tell me they really want to get in shape, but the number one excuse is not having the time. Of course I feel that […]
I am the real deal. I don’t mean that in a conceited, cocky way though. Here’s what I mean, I’m a real person, a real woman, real wife, real mother. I don’t have help around the house except for my husband when he’s home from work. I have 4 kids […]
Last Spring I saw an infomercial for Insanity that claimed to be the hardest program out to date, and only for those who are driven to put themselves through a purely rigorous program with no excuses. I thought to myself “I can do that!†I was going to be turning […]
One of the best ways to look and feel great and make your exercise routine more efficient is by eating healthy foods. Healthy foods give us the energy we need to perform properly mentally and physically, and build muscle during our workouts. Eating healthy is sometimes tricky since supermarkets […]
The first thing most people say when they think about starting P90X or they just purchased it is “the workouts seem so long!” Well, yes, they do seem long, but compared to getting yourself dressed, in the car and off to the gym, then start your routine, towel off and […]
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 […]
Being consistently committed to a healthy lifestyle can sometimes be hard. I follow a strict meal plan, exercise regularly and try to make the right choices most times when it comes to my health routine, especially living with hypoglycemia. Recently, I was reminded how crucial it is to keep on […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!! Ice cream is so yummy, but a big no-no for lots of people. It could be because they have blood sugar issues, or gluten, lactose and digestive issues or maybe trying to avoid the fat and calories associated with […]
You’re probably wondering which honey to use to get you through those Insanity workouts. Organic, local, imported… No, not that type of honey! I’m talking about your “honey.” Whether its your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or your kids, having someone close to you with the same goals can really […]
