Kristjan won the Team Beachbody $500 Daily Prize for May 6th! My whole life I’ve BEEN big, and LIVED big spent my teens and 20’s in the 300+ club. Though overweight, I was still a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I loved life and overindulged in things that brought me immediate […]

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 […]
If I had known that I was going to fail so many times in my life, I would have kept track. Maybe I could be setting some record. The P90X test version was first marketed in 2005 and bombed. Even people at Beachbody said that the project should be abandoned. […]
I have heard a lot of people say that they use chocolate milk as a recovery drink for their P90X , Insanity, or other Beachbody workout. Chocolate milk is not necessarily a terrible thing to use after a workout, but is it the best thing to put in your body […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I do believe Asylum is my favorite workout program to date! All the workouts in this program are created to prepare you for Game Day, the first of which is on day 11. I was nervous for Game Day since Vertical Plyo is the craziest workout ever created […]
I’m almost done with week 4 of Insanity. I never thought I’d say it, but I really love it now. Last summer, I missed Tony Horton so much while Shaun T. put me through so much torture. But I think Shaun has won my heart, although I will always […]
I love using the P90X Nutrition Guide and the Insanity Elite Nutrition guide for recipes. Since I love to cook, I often make my own versions of the recipes. Last night we had breakfast for dinner. The night before I had made a salad with cubed chicken and […]
I get asked a lot of questions about supplements. Do I need them? Will they help my results? What should I take? When should I take them? Do you take any? The short answers: No, yes, varies, varies, yes. There you have it. Have a great week! Wish it was […]
My husband and I just finished week 2 of Insanity! Yay! We start our next Fit Test on Monday and I can’t wait to see if there are improvements. I can already see improvements with my husband’s form, flexibility and coordination. We’re making our way to the Asylum!! Its recommended […]
The first thing most people say when they think about starting P90X or they just purchased it is “the workouts seem so long!” Well, yes, they do seem long, but compared to getting yourself dressed, in the car and off to the gym, then start your routine, towel off and […]
P90X is not a weight loss program, yet most people lose weight by doing it. This is because most of those people begin the program with more body fat than they’re happy with, and getting ripped means they’ve lost body fat and weight. But some people want more. They want […]
Insanity Fit Test – Day 1 Well today was the official start of Day 1 of Insanity with my husband. The Insanity Fit Test marked our first day. We haven’t worked out together in years, so its fun to start something new with him. I did Insanity last […]
How do you feel about where your life is going right now? I am currently on my sixth day of another round of P90X and I already feel empowered. I feel stronger and fitter and have a better mental attitude because I am going in a positive direction […]
P90X day 5 is Legs & Back and I loved it! I didn’t need Tony Horton to motivate me or inspire me like he did yesterday with Yoga X. Today was exactly what I wanted to do – work my legs hard to give me a strong foundation […]
Honestly if I am doing another Beachbody workout program in between rounds of P90X, I don’t think much about the order of the P90X workouts. I auto schedule them in WOWY and whatever comes up in the first week is what it is. Today, when I saw that it […]
