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 […]

What’s Your World Coming To?

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 […]

Week 3 of My P90X Journey

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 […]

Does A Stomach Virus Have You Running?

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 […]

Shakeology and Diarrhea

There is a 3 word subject line to this post and I am sure that it will cause a lot of people who won’t bother reading the post to say, “See, that Shakeology causes diarrhea.”   The truth is that in a one time test of Shakeology conducted in the […]

What’s Your Problem?

Honestly, if I was on a city street or any street (or anywhere, for that matter), and I heard those words, “What’s Your Problem”, it would make me a little nervous.   Someone would seem to be unhappy and maybe looking for an outlet for their anger and aggression. Even […]

Mention P90X and Honesty Goes Out the Window?

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 […]

P90X is the Real Deal

Okay, so some of you probably have seen the infomercials for P90X. If not let me fill you in. it’s a workout that was designed by Tony Horton at BeachBody. The main principles are that it is intense, it is based on muscle confusion, and its fun. Its “extreme home […]

Spring is less than a week away!

I know that exclamation is welcome news to some, but to some of my friends it may make them wish they had a little more time. Before you know it the “unofficial start of summer” will be upon us.   There are a few reason why I like working out […]

When the Going Gets Tough…They Unsubscribe?

Yesterday, I sent out an newsletter to almost 10,000 subscribers and had the most unsubscribes and complaints of any newsletter that I have ever sent out. The title of the blog was, “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going”. Honestly, I can’t imagine what turned people off. My […]

The $400K Typo – But It’s All Good!

A couple of nights ago, a tweet popped up on Twitter from Carl Daikeler, CEO of Team Beachbody, that said, “Andrea Horton makes over $400k a wk part time!” My first thought was, “Carl, you need to correct that” and my second thought was “must be Tony Horton’s (creater of […]

Benefits of Stretching

So many people tend to look at stretching with dread.   But as Tony Horton says in his P90X Yoga X disc, he does the things he can do at his age, not because of pull-ups but because of yoga.   He knows  that gaining flexibility is an important key […]

Shakeology works for me!

I don’t have the 60 or 90 day results from Power 90 yet to show on the outside, but the way Shakeology has made me feel on the inside has really made me a believer in it.   Here’s a video that explains how Shakeology “works on the inside” You […]

Do I really need the protein powder, recovery drink and bars to do P90X?

I just answered a member’s question and thought that I would share my answer – “Do I really need the protein powder, recovery drink and bars to do P90X?” “I found that I simply couldn’t eat enough, so I got the Beachbody Whey Protein Powder, P90X recovery drink and the […]

What Runners Should Know About Shakeology

Runners, the most important thing that you should know about Shakeology is that you should be drinking it every day.   How would I know, you ask?   First of all, I’ve been a competitive runner for almost 44 years.   In my 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, I was running […]

“I got P90X without the guides.  Now what do I do?”

This is an oft repeated question and here is the perfect answer: “You can’t get the guides separately because there is a bootleg operation in China that is selling the DVD’s only. People are saving $40.00 on eBay but getting ripped off and supporting the Chinese economy. To get the […]

“I lost 100 pounds and it didn’t cost me a dime!”

Would you like to be able to say that?   You can. “How?” No gimmicks, no pills, no gym membership, no surgery – just an effective exercise program and good nutrition. “Okay, this is stupid already.   I have to buy a workout program and they cost money.” That’s true, […]

What’s the Big Deal About Shakeology?

Cool banner, huh.   But is the product any good? You could ask Mary Ann Kobes, who says that she drinks it every day.   Being a winner in the Shakeology weekly contest (ends March 25, 2010) and winning $1,000.00 might make her more inclined to keep drinking it, though. […]

Your Belly Fat Has a Mind of its Own

The original titles of this post was, “Hormonal Changes and Visceral Fat”, but who would have read it.   Nobody is interested in what doctors and researchers have to say.   That’s why so many people choose to live lives devoid of physical activity and chow down on the worst […]

I’m Fat, So What?

I received an email over the weekend with this information, “An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.   Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person — and […]

Succeeding In Life By Helping Other People

Is There a Link Between Obesity and the Devastation in Haiti?

Watching and praying with the rest of the world

I’ve learned from other natural disasters while I’ve been running an online business, that the world watches and that e-commerce should respect the victims and their families by doing the same.   September 11th, the 2004 day after Christmas tsunami, Katrina and now the disaster in Haiti means stopping to […]
