I love the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme from Autumn Calabrese and Body Beast from Sagi Kalev. Now they’ve teamed up on a workout program together that you will absolutely love. Announcing The Master’s Hammer and Chisel, a 60-day program that will help you craft a defined, […]

The Masters Hammer and Chisel

In case any of you thought that I didn’t wake up from the nap that I mentioned in Day 2 of the 21 Day Fix and that would explain why there wasn’t another post, I am happy to say that I just got sidetracked – for 19 days apparently. It’s […]

My 21 Day Fix Day 21

Now I’m feeling better.   I did a search for nap on my website and there are plenty of results.   I did what I said yesterday that I was going to do today and I ran for about 20:00 or so and then did 21 Day Fix Upper Fix. […]

21 Day Fix Day Two

Given the opportunity to work out with a friend in the SuperGym and in our Take Charge of Your Body for Life Facebook challenge group, I decided to start the 21 Day Fix over again.   It was an easy decision really because I had already gotten behind on my […]

21 Day Fix Day One (Again)

It’s after 10:00 and I am finally able to sit down and eat my steel cuts oats for breakfast.   This must be at least the 1,000th time, since I’ve had them almost every morning since April 25th, 2012.   That is the day that I started The Ultimate Reset […]

A Kickstart and a “Fix”

We’ve all been there.   I know that I have.   Years ago I would have let it really bother me.   Now I know that everything happens for a reason and I just have to let it go (as long as it doesn’t happen over and over!). What Team […]

What Should You Do If You Miss a Workout?

When I started out doing P90X…

When I started out doing P90X, it exceeded my expectations of what in-home workouts could be. I tried other workouts before; some I enjoyed, while I thought others were just cheesy. After P90X brought me great results, I wanted to mix it up a bit so I gave Insanity a […]

When I started out doing P90X…

Update:   I have now been drinking Shakeology for almost 7 years.   My first day was March 20th, 2009. I’ve been drinking Shakeology every day for over five years.   Who do I thank for finding and combining all of the great ingredients in Shakeology?   Darin Olien! Here’s […]

How They Find the Ingredients in Shakeology

Whether it was a prolonged illness in the family or recovery from an accident or the nightmare of divorce, we’ve all experienced times in our lives when it was if we were in a tunnel and all that we could focus on was what was within the confines of that […]

We’ve All Been There

Did you know that Cinco de Mayo was first celebrated on American soil? It’s true! Even though the date commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla (NOT Mexican Independence Day), the first Cinco de Mayo parades and parties were help by Mexican-American communities in California and the […]

21 Healthy Recipes for Cinco de Mayo (Plus Drinks!)

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade

Stress has plagued me (like a plague) for years.   My rock for staying healthy has always been Shakeology and it has worked for me for over 5 years.   Last summer, though, I was just feeling really drained and by chance, stopped at a Pharmaca for the first time […]

When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemon Water

I love being a Team Beachbody Coach

I actually posted this on Facebook earlier today and it is such an important post that I want to share it on my blog, too. My question is, if you can be a work at home dad and make a good income and spend every day with your children, why […]

Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Work …

Don't Live the same year 75 times

I’ve had a number of “lives” – living, teaching and traveling in Latin America, owning a woodworking business, being a personal trainer and now being a full time Team Beachbody Coach starting when I was 55 What are you going to do?   Why not join me and change people’s […]

What Are You Going To Do?

Shakeology Really Works!

Shakeology has been a daily part of my life for over 5 years.   It has seen me through the toughest times that I have ever experienced and inconceivable stress and I’ve barely skipped a beat.   I can’t say that I haven’t had a cold or some physically or […]

Shakeology – Try It, You’ll Love It!

Sarah lost 67 pounds after the birth of her second child

The day is winding down and it was a good day for a change.   Some day I may share with you what the last six months have been like, but not now.   I just want to get through another day of looking up.   I also wanted to […]

67 Pounds of Pregnancy Weight Loss

By Steve Edwards – From the Team Beachbody Newsletter Ask the Expert Series The answer depends on two factors: your overall diet and how intense your workout is. If you eat small, balanced meals every few hours while you’re awake, you don’t really need a preworkout meal strategy. Your body […]

What Should I Eat Before My Workout?

Because there is no point in looking back, right? If I did, I would see my SuperGym workout calendar for March (not to mention the first 6 days of April) and see the worst training log that I have ever had.   In fact, over the past three months, it […]

Looking Up

April is a great month for a lot of reasons and it just got even better!   You can save a ton of money and get fit and lose weight just in time to look fabulous for summer.   How?   Two fantastic offers from Team Beachbody, that’s how! Focus […]

Brazil Butt Lift Transformed Bethany’s Body!

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?* I felt terrible about myself. Being in the Navy and being the biggest guy in your unit isn’t a good feeling. I was sick of being called “the big guy”. I […]

It Took Me Four Tries to Complete Insanity

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body? I started T25 sixteen months after having my son. Prior to having my son, I used to run a lot. I even ran two half marathons. I also enjoyed doing classes […]

How a Stay at Home Mom Found Time to Work …

By Steve Edwards – from the Team Beachbody Newsletter Nothing taps your panic button quite like gaining weight, especially when you’re on a weight loss program. Unfortunately, it’s an inevitable fact of life. Luckily, you’ve got me here to tell you that, as long as you’re following a solid program, […]

5 Reasons You Could Be Gaining Weight

There are many protein shakes and meal replacements that are less expensive than Shakeology, but none of them have as many quality superfoods as Shakeology does. Usually the “you get what you pay for” logic rings true, and the shake biz is definitely a case where it applies! Shakeology has […]
