As Tony Horton says in the Master Series DVD&#8217;s. It isn&#8217;t  uber-models in these workouts, they are real people like you and \u00a0me who have had  to work extremely hard to get where they are now.<\/p>\n<p>BeachBody is  real.<\/p>\n<p>The workouts are real.<\/p>\n<p>The people are real.<\/p>\n<p>Reality  can&#8217;t get any better than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Honestly I can&#8217;t imagine saying it any better than that or working for  a better company than Beachbody. \u00a0 I hope that some day soon, all of you will be  having the same experience that I am as a coach and reaping the rewards of the  fullness of that experience.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We \u00a0face challenges in our lives all of the time and life is like a roller coaster for many of us. \u00a0 But let&#8217;s face it, few people would stand in line at an amusement park for the roller coaster that ran on a flat track. \u00a0 The exhilaration of the highs offsets the sense [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27,29,34,114,178],"class_list":["post-265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-miscellaneous-posts","tag-beachbody","tag-beachbody-coach","tag-beachbody-message-boards","tag-independent-team-beachbody-coach","tag-team-beachbody","czr-hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
