Form, Form, FORM is Everything

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 […]

Keep It Simple!

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 […]

Motivated Monday After a Super Sunday

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. […]

Motivated Monday After a Super Sunday

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 […]

Telling it like it is

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?

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 […]

Is Inspiration Pulling You to Your Goal?

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 […]

What Fitness Program is Right For You and Your Goals?

When choosing a workout program to fit into your lifestyle, there are many considerations including weight loss and fitness goals, your interests(dance, kickbox, martial arts, sports), level of difficulty, and time. Not everyone will enjoy or benefit from the same program.   However, every effective workout program must contain three […]

Settling For #2 Or Worse…

I am a voracious reader when it comes to faith, family and fitness and Thursday I read an article in the New York Times that I find disturbing. It is entitled, “China’s Next Revolution Is in Fitness” which on the surface doesn’t seem that interesting or significant but this line […]

Do You Know Why?

Do you know why you do what you do – your “why” that everyone says that you have to have to be successful? Do you know why things have happened in your life that have changed the course of your life and you didn’t understand until some time later? My […]

Captivity Can Become An Addiction

A little story about crabs in a basket posted by Patty Sweeney Corrigan on Facebook If you place a sole crab in a stock pot and heat it, it will readily attempt to climb out, it will escape, and potentially achieve freedom! However, if you place two or three crabs […]

Pray for the Health of Our Nation

This morning, I read this headline, “Obesity to Worsen, Weigh Heavily on Healthcare Costs“. The article went on to say that “If present trends continue, about half of both men and women in the United States will be obese by 2030, health experts warned”. What is most tragic about this […]

Families on a Mission

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. […]
