Our meat and dairy supply is loaded with growth hormones. These hormones are given to the animal to speed growth in order to increase production and profits. When you consume meat and dairy you are giving yourself massive amounts of growth hormones. This leads to obesity, and is one of […]
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 […]
I felt like I needed to write something up on why I decided to put P90X2 on hold for now. Yes, I was really going to stat P90X2 on January 2nd, but I have to tell you, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I pre-ordered it because I wanted […]
One of the main causes of indigestion, heartburn, gas, bloating and constipation is a lack of digestive enzymes in your stomach and intestine. Because of antibiotics, other nonprescription and prescription drugs, chlorinated and fluoride-full water, it has been shown that most people simply do not have enough digestive enzymes in […]
Step 1. Make sure that the very first meal of your day is chewed up completely. Do Not let any food or liquids enter your throat until it has mixed with the proper amounts of saliva and enzymes. The key is to digest the foods as much as humanly possible, […]
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 […]

Quinoa, one of the 70 plus super foods found in Shakeology helps fight migraine headaches, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and that’s just to name a few.
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 […]
Super Food (Sacha Inchi) is one of the 70 plus super foods that make up Shakeology. Sacha Inchi is naturally rich in protein and fiber, so it’s a strong appetite controller (nature’s diet). Then it goes a step further by helping to speed up your metabolism, so you can […]
I have a love/hate relationship with my age. I don’t feel my age and to most people I don’t look my age, but I admit, I’m over 40. I don’t want to get into the whole psychological discussion on how society views women and age. Its not my intent. […]

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 […]

When I moved to rural Alaska this past summer I had to make some changes in the way that I eat. There are no restaurants, no take-out pizza, and no store-bought meals. Every meal takes planning. From baking bread, to soaking beans the night before dinner, to defrosting moose meat […]
Never jump into any exercise full throttle. This is basically a shock to your body. And it is not good for you. When you do this you are stressing your body too much. Think about this, for example…it is 30 degrees out side,…freezing….and you jump into your car every morning […]

I have been involved in some sort of fitness regimen most of my life. From playing youth sports as a child, to weight lifting in my teens and early twenties, to mountain biking. In recent years I dipped into the “in-home fitness†spectrum of exercising. It started when my wife […]
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 […]
Holiday time often brings circumstances that could sabotage our nutrition and fitness programs. Family and friend gatherings, special events, vacations, more stress, and busier than normal schedules all can lead to a lack of motivation to exercise and temptations to indulge in unhealthy eating. Challenges arrive throughout life, but there […]
My members deserve the very best in coaching from me and I will do whatever it takes for them to get the most out of their membership and make it totally effective in reaching their health, fitness and positive lifestyle goals. Although some of them have been with me for […]
Teachers, coaches and mentors need to do what? Make people aware of the benefits of what they are being taught, coached or mentored in. Without a clear benefit or benefits, few people will respond to your call to action. I searched on my website, Howtobefit.com, and found 452 articles with […]
Yesterday was our day of Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for. Our bounty is enormous compared to that of most people in the world today. So much so, that it has changed the way that we look and live. When the original colony of Plymouth was […]
Vacations are a welcomed time to have fun, relax with family and friends, see fresh sights and try new things, but they are not an excuse to neglect positive choices for your health. You can still enjoy yourself and allow little indulgences without sabotaging your health goals. It takes a […]

I was thinking when I was running this morning that form is everything when you want to be efficient, conserve energy and lessen your chance of injury. I’ve heard that poor swimmers, for example burn way more calories than good swimmers. Makes sense, right? Running with good […]
Sometimes in life, we often make things more complicated then they should be. Sometimes we just flat out think too hard. Big things in life all start from small things, (simple things). I guess what I am trying to say is that we just need to start off by doing […]
Team Beachbody is filled with highly motivated, truly extraordinary people. I got to meet some more of them at a Super Sunday event here in New Mexico. One of the greatest rewards of being a coach has been to meet and become lifelong friends with so many of these coaches. […]
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 […]
This Saturday and Sunday, Team Beachbody ® will take a stand for humanity and come together with a common mission: to End the Trend ® of obesity and help more people than ever lead healthy, fulfilling lives. If you heard Carl on this week’s National Coach Call, you have an […]
I’ve been on a roll and posting some things on Facebook that weren’t exactly politically correct. Here are just a few: Scott posted about food regulation and I personally think that people are just plain stupid to eat the way that they do. “I don’t eat any junk food, […]
Which antidepressant is right for you – pills or a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise? More than one in 10 Americans over the age of 12 takes an antidepressant, a class of drugs that has become wildly popular in the past several decades, U.S. government researchers said today. Antidepressants […]
I had today’s newsletter all done in my head and I just had to put it on “paper” and send it out. Then I read something by one of my fellow Team Beachbody Coaches, Julie Ann Price, and I knew that I had to share it with you today. As […]
