Team Beachbody Launch Party

I procrastinated, finding every excuse  not to have one.   I thought I needed more of something, but not sure what it was.   But  I started getting tired of putting it off and decided to just pick a date for my  Team Beachbody  Business Launch  Party.   I picked […]

Don’t Just Build Your Body, Build Your Dreams

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 […]

Is A Gym Membership Really Worth It?

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 […]

Battling the Blues With Aerobic Exercise

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. […]

Are You Depressed?  Turn to Inspiring People

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 […]

Are You Depressed?  Part One in a Series

To Rest or Not to Rest, That is the Question

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 […]

Insanity Day Six – Plyometric Cardio Circuit

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 […]

Power to the People!

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 […]

Insanity Day Five – Pure Cardio

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 […]

Insanity Day Four – Cardio Recovery

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 […]

Insanity Day Three – Cardio Power & Resistance

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, […]

Insanity Day Two – Plyometric Cardio Circuit

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 […]

Talk About Being Blessed

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 […]

What Is Insanity?

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 […]

Confessions of a Running Addict

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 […]

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 […]

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!

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 […]
