Learn to Lead to Succeed

How do you know a leader?   Is it the smile on their face and their enthusiasm or their willingness to help out and find solutions?   Are you inspired and motivated to do your best when you are around someone that you know is a leader?   Would a […]

Week 11 of P90X done! 2 more to go!

It feels like yesterday that I saw the UPS delivery truck back into my driveway on that Friday afternoon.   11-1/2 weeks ago my P90X was delivered.   I remember my excitement as the UPS man walked up my driveway with the Beachbody cardboard box.   Nestled inside, was another […]

Do you ever google, “What is…?

I am a compulsive googler and it seems like I am always thirsty for knowledge.   Oftentimes, I will actually begin a search with, “What is…? and Google will find the answer for me.   As of yesterday, though, there won’t be any need to google, “What is Team Beachbody” […]

Team Howtobefit Accountability Journal

Okay, so you are thinking, “Not some new thing that we have to do to lose weight and be healthy”.   No, it isn’t something new, it is something quite old – writing things down, keeping a diary, having a training log, journaling – these are all old things that […]

Shakeology For (My) Life

In previous posts, I’ve mentioned Shakeology and its role in my health, fitness and fueling my now incredibly busy lifestyle.   I have correctly credited Team Beachbody with the complete turnaround in my health which took a precipitous fall in May of 1985.   You can read about those chapters […]

212 – The Extra Degree That Makes The Difference

In the “212, The Extra Degree” movie, it says, “To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we’ve never done”. The 212 Attitude is that, “The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith […]

Success and Significance

As Team Beachbody Coaches, we focus a lot of energy on self improvement so that we can grow and learn and succeed in order to be able to help others to do the same. Many of the steps to self improvement include reading and listening and following successful leaders – […]

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

A case could be made that I am depressed or have reason to be, but what about you?   Since the last time that I posted, I got an April Fool’s joke on Facebook that has set the tone for the next week.   Clicking onto Facebook, I saw a […]

Team Beachbody Gets More Generous

No joke.   On Thursday, April 1st, Team Beachbody introduced the new and improved Coach Compensation Plan. It’s an exciting time, because this new plan will make Team Beachbody one of the MOST generous compensation companies in all of direct sales. In 2009, our continued growth put us in a […]

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 […]
