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 […]

Shakeology works for me!

I don’t have the 60 or 90 day results from Power 90 yet to show on the outside, but the way Shakeology has made me feel on the inside has really made me a believer in it.   Here’s a video that explains how Shakeology “works on the inside” You […]

Hi everyone!   Hope all of my NJ area  followers are enjoying this beautiful day!   This weather is really what we needed to get us out of the winter blues and blahs. Now if you’re like me, the approaching spring season really puts a fire under me and motivates […]

Do I really need the protein powder, recovery drink and bars to do P90X?

I just answered a member’s question and thought that I would share my answer – “Do I really need the protein powder, recovery drink and bars to do P90X?” “I found that I simply couldn’t eat enough, so I got the Beachbody Whey Protein Powder, P90X recovery drink and the […]

Should I take the rest day completely off?

That’s a question that I just received from someone doing Power 90.   The person was unemployed and trying to push himself into getting in better shape and doing cardio on his day off.   Here is my response: “There is always risk when you do too much but knowing […]

Seeking Church For Fitness Ministry

That sounds like a newspaper ad, but if you are a pastor, this post is for you.   At any given time, as you look out over your congregation, you will see the same percentage of people who are overweight or obese.   Churchgoers are no more healthy than non […]

What Runners Should Know About Shakeology

Runners, the most important thing that you should know about Shakeology is that you should be drinking it every day.   How would I know, you ask?   First of all, I’ve been a competitive runner for almost 44 years.   In my 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, I was running […]

Boring Game.  Final Score 70 – 0!

When you shell out your hard earned money for lunch or dinner, how would you rather spend your 4 – 5 bucks?   Do you want to be a winner and get the 70 healthy ingredients in Shakeology or virtually no healthy ingredients in your $4.00 to $5.00 fast food […]

“I got P90X without the guides.  Now what do I do?”

This is an oft repeated question and here is the perfect answer: “You can’t get the guides separately because there is a bootleg operation in China that is selling the DVD’s only. People are saving $40.00 on eBay but getting ripped off and supporting the Chinese economy. To get the […]

“I lost 100 pounds and it didn’t cost me a dime!”

Would you like to be able to say that?   You can. “How?” No gimmicks, no pills, no gym membership, no surgery – just an effective exercise program and good nutrition. “Okay, this is stupid already.   I have to buy a workout program and they cost money.” That’s true, […]

What’s the Big Deal About Shakeology?

Cool banner, huh.   But is the product any good? You could ask Mary Ann Kobes, who says that she drinks it every day.   Being a winner in the Shakeology weekly contest (ends March 25, 2010) and winning $1,000.00 might make her more inclined to keep drinking it, though. […]

Your Belly Fat Has a Mind of its Own

The original titles of this post was, “Hormonal Changes and Visceral Fat”, but who would have read it.   Nobody is interested in what doctors and researchers have to say.   That’s why so many people choose to live lives devoid of physical activity and chow down on the worst […]

I’m Fat, So What?

I received an email over the weekend with this information, “An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.   Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person — and […]

Succeeding In Life By Helping Other People

Until a couple of weeks ago, I was blogging almost every day.   Then on a run one morning, I started thinking about the Whole Foods marketing campaign (I run on trails in front of their store – this is Albuquerque remember) that says, “Buy Local, Support Local” and embarked […]

Are You Still Waiting for a Life Changing Moment?

True story.   I was a personal trainer for years in NJ and I would like to tell you about one of my most memorable clients.   His name was John (no, that wasn’t his real name) and he was an obese chain smoker before I met him.   He […]

In an inspiring segment on Beliefnet.com, it says, “Martin Luther King Jr., was a father, a husband, a reverend, a civil rights leader, and a resilient man with a clear vision to end segregation in America during the 1950s.   On Monday, January 18, we honor a revolutionary man who […]

Is There a Link Between Obesity and the Devastation in Haiti?

On Tuesday as we all know, there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti.   Is it connected to the floor that collapsed in a building on Wednesday?   No, that was the floor in the Weight Watchers weigh in room and the 20 people there thought that it was an […]

Watching and praying with the rest of the world

I’ve learned from other natural disasters while I’ve been running an online business, that the world watches and that e-commerce should respect the victims and their families by doing the same.   September 11th, the 2004 day after Christmas tsunami, Katrina and now the disaster in Haiti means stopping to […]
