"Everybody at home, do you have tickets?" asks the handsome, oh so fit man in B&B!
"Tickets to what?" asks another fit soul who is hanging at the B&B.
Go to "X" Land and you will find the best B&B to enable you to put on YOUR best "guns" show ever!
(P.S. The "guns" are your arms, and you want them to look and BE powerful!!)
The Back and Biceps workout of P90X is an awesome workout and this is some of the chit-chat flying around during the 50 something minute routine:
"Back and then double biceps all in the same direction."
"The GLAMOUR muscles workout"
"Breathing and stretching, breathing and stretching."
"That's GLOOOOOOO-RI-OUS!!!"
Inhale and Exhale!
"Very flexible for a muscular guy!"
"Oh Mommy!...... Here it comes!"
"Find the burn............simple rules ........................change your life!"

Play the role!
We all play the role in life, in our designated professions and in our relationships, because we know that we have to in order to be respected and taken seriously. None of us were born teachers, lawyers, doctors, or scientists, but we study to learn how to "become" those people.
We often hear people say "oh, I am not a runner," or "strength training is not my thing," when in fact that is just an opinion they may have about themselves. Most likely a false one too! Imagine if the same people could approach the world of health and fitness with the same mindset as they do about career choices, just get in there, study the game, and play the role!
As far back as I can remember, I used to play little games like "role playing" with my workouts just to be able to keep it interesting. I would pretend I was an instructor teaching a class (by myself), or I would even pretend that I was auditioning for a position to become an instructor just to encourage myself to bring my "A" game to a workout. Not only is it a fun way to work out, but it allows you to build confidence because (a) you temporarily think you are awesome, and (b) you come out of your shell and allow yourself to BE that FIT person you idolize.
Try it tomorrow when you workout! Pretend you are Tony or Chalene during your next workout!
For those of you who still get shy about stepping up your workouts and trying something new and challenging, I invite you to try this exercise too! Play the role! Break out of your shell! Dispel your false beliefs about yourself! You can reach new heights! Just try it!
By the way, you may not want to "play the role" in a gym with people looking at you, so I suggest you get a great HOME fitness program so that you can do it everyday. Contact me to help you decide which amazing Beachbody program would suit your "role playing" needs!

Your body is THE weapon!
Treat it well, and you will win the fight! One of the most fun workouts in Beachbody's P90X line-up is "KenpoX", which is a combination of fun, cardio, explosive moves that helps to improve balance, flexibility, coordination, stamina and confidence. It's THE workout that I truly look forward to every single week (I love them all don't get me wrong), and it's one of the workouts that you do every single week for the full 13 weeks of the program. It is also the workout that you can tone down if your energy is not there, or tone up (????) with amazing intensity so that it can not only increases your level of fitness, but also boosts your confidence to new heights.
KenpoX got it's roots from the concept of "Kenpo" (or Kemp) which originated with the masters Ed Parker Sr, William Chow and Lau Bon, and others. Many sources say it got its origination from China, India and Asia and that is what makes Kenpo so wonderful, is that it is a combination of art forms and ANYONE can try it and benefit from it. It is great for women, men and children!! Kenpo is/was a martial art form originally from the streets, using the hands to defend one's self, but also teaching great technique and discipline.
KenpoX is built on all of that Kenpo history with added "X"ness that makes it a perfect addition to the P90X routine. After you have done it a few times, you start to learn creative ways to add intensity, or just perfect your stance (standard fighter's stance or horse stance). You improve on your jabs, blocks, and more! You truly gain a true sense of the power your hold within your mind and body!
As one of my favorite chef/tv personalities says, "Kick it up a notch!" And that is just what you can do with KenpoX, to the tune of many notches if you so choose! My guess you will choose once you taste this awesome routine!
Kiai!

I know what you are looking for
A great workout that fits with your lifestyle, makes you happy, you feel comfortable doing it, and it gives REAL results, along with a manageable nutrition progarm that includes food suggestions that are realistic and tasty! Look no further, Beachbody has something for YOU! All of you! The best part is, you get great Coaching (for free along with your program) from experienced people -- people who live the life you live and KNOW what they are talking about, and not some fake, airbrushed models. Once you join the Beachbody community, you won't feel like ever leaving, and you can get daily help to keep it going!
Over 25 programs to choose from with new ones to come, you can get the variety that you want. Currently I am doing P90X for a 3rd 90 days (yes I have done 180 days already and loved it) and I am completing week 4. I am following the "Classic" routine, but since I am a "grad," and consider myself to be an expert, I am making tiny modifications here and there as I go. What type of modifications? Well, P90X suggests you try one of the three programs, depending on what your goals are. There is "classic," which is a basic program, one workout a day, with 15 minutes of AB work done 3 of the 7 days. The "doubles" is just how it sounds, a double workout about 3 to 4 days out of 7. Cardio is the added workout for extra intensity... extra everything which should result in an even leaner, fitter you! And last, there is the "lean" routine, which has a slightly different scheduling of workouts, more cardio, a bit less strength training to achieve that "lean" look!
Imagine, that in just ONE of Beachbody's home fitness program, you have 3 options built in so that you can achieve, YOUR desired goal, and from there you can try all 3 options over a span of 270 days, or 9 months, and see the final outcome.
P90X Plus came out a while after P90X because people were so happy with P90X, that they begged for more! Parts of the program are truly for the person who is very fit and wanting a little more, without having to sacrifice more than 45 minutes of their time. 5 additional workouts that WILL indeed enhance your P90X program.
On the schedule for today, the workout was to be Core Synergistics for the "classic" routine, or Cardio X for the "lean" routine. My mind said "hey, why not do something slightly different? Let's do Interval X!" What a great choice!! A short workout, that moves so fast (because of the 30 - 60 sec intervals and changes) it gets the job done!
Beachbody is doing it right! Offering some of the best workouts to keep you HAPPY, fit and wanting more! You will never get bored. You are educated on how to workout, as well as given many options that offer lots of FUN!
Other great workouts are: Insanity (get ripped in 60days), Rev Abs (brazilian 90 day all body program that targets the abs), Brazilian Butt Lift, Power 90, Slim in 6, P90X Plus, Yoga Booty Ballet, Turbo Jam, Chalean Extreme, 10 minute trainer, Tony and the Kids, Tony and the Folks (for age 55 and over) and MANY MORE.
Something for everyone! Truly! People in their 50s and 60s are doing P90X and getting into the best shape they have ever been in their entire lives. People are getting healthier, banishing illnesses. Kids are joining in with their parents to workout. Coaches are using some of the workout for their sports training.
It's great to know you can go to ONE place and get all you need and more for be in the best health! Thank you Beachbody.

In Recovery!
What happened? Don't worry, it's what the doctor ordered and then a stronger, healthier person will emerge! Yeah! A 90-day home workout program that teaches you all you need to know about effective exercising is all you need to get into great shape. What program educates in such an efficient way? Beachbody's P90X extreme home fitness program does!
How many people walk on the treadmill a few days a week and then curl some dumbbells? How many take a few group classes a week at a gym or see a personal trainer who has them doing some sort of routine over and over? How many people are satisfied with the results of these programs? How many people quit because they don't see any results?
The first 3 weeks of P90X is a well calculated program that has you doing strength training 3 out of 7 days, Yoga on one day, a Cardio-type workout 2 out of 7 days, a short ABs routine on the strength days, and a rest or stretch day on the 7th day. As you start out, you are breaking down, and rebuilding your body, your muscles, your mind, and your attitude. If you are eating properly, as you definitely should, you are seeing the results of your dedication to the program IMMEDIATELY. It's that simple!
But the key to the program working is the fact that Week 4, Week 8 and Week 13 are RECOVERY weeks! How about that? A chance to regroup and get better!!! How many gyms and trainers teach this as a necessary way to truly get fit? Not many at all. Most people are not even compelled to follow a sensible routine to actually SEE for THEMSELVES that THIS is how you put the puzzle together. If you have never done it, you would not know. And this is something that should be practiced ALWAYS when you follow a well-balanced fitness program.
Just as the word implies, RECOVERY is the period where you take time out, rest and get better. P90X's recovery weeks are ACTIVE REST weeks. You don't stop working out, but you don't do any strength training during this week. Why?
Muscles rebuild and repair more efficiently when you let them rest for a short period of time. During this rest period, an adaptation process takes place. During this time, you should eat particularly well, get lots of water and lots of sleep! Truly pamper that body and mind and get it ready for the following week when you will resume MORE intense strength training exercises in a NEW order and layout than what was done in Weeks 1-3.
Doesn't it all make great sense? No need to complicate the explanation with fancy technical terms about the process of the rebuilding that is going on, it'seasy to grasp the SENSE of it all by just comparing it to resting after a long day of hard work. Your body is tired, and you are probably a bit (or a lot) stressed. You need a time-out. If you have worked out hard for 3 weeks, when you take 1 week off from the "hardcore" routine, you will allow your body to get stronger! You will cutdown on the chances of injuring yourself and overtraining. Overtraining leads to burn out and often times this is why people don't follow through with a regular workout routine.
If you are new to an intense workout program, or just doing P90X for the 1st time, it behooves you to adhere to the program all the way. Embrace the "Recovery Weeks" because they will benefit you in huge ways!
During the "ACTIVE REST" week, you do 2 days of yoga, 2 days of Core Synergistics and 2 day of rest or stretch, and one wonderful fun day of Kenpo X. The 2 days of Yoga and 2 rest and stretch days are very IMPORTANT and should not be skipped. On those days you will stretch and open up the muscles, allowing them the opportunity to stretch, grow, and heal. You are prepping the body for the coming week when you SHOULD be increasing the intensity of your routine. A new phase to further breakdown and rebuild!!!! Week 5 will bring renewed strength and skill!
As usual, we continue to understand why P90X is the BEST fitness program -- do it at home, do it at the gym! Just know that it makes SENSE and it works!

RED PEPPER "yum-yum" Soup
Red Pepper Soup from P90X Nutrition Guide
2 cups white wine
1 onion chopped
5 roasted peppers (roast yourself or buy a good quality jarred one)
2 cups celery
1 tblsp garlic chopped
2 plum tomatoes (I used more than 2)
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 cups fat free chicken broth, low sodium
2 tblsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp each gr. white pepper, gr. cumin
Dash salt
Serves 12, about 60 calories per serving
1. Heat the wine in a lg soup pot over med. heat. Add onion, peppers, celery. Cook, stir for 3 mins.
Stir in garlic. Cook for 2 more mins. Add more wine if necessary.
2. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and broth. Cover, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 25 mins.
3. Puree soup with blender or food processor (I used my hand emulsifier in the pot to puree, be careful of splatter) --
4. Add seasonings, heat through.. taste.
I did not puree my soup too fine, rather I left it a bit coarse which allowed for a lovely texture!
You can tweak it with your favorite seasonings, ie. Italian Seasoning, Basil, Oregano, Cayenne Pepper, and others!
Notice there is no oil added to this dish which makes it so low calorie but still offers lots of flavor and density!
This dish is like an appetizer and part of a dinner which includes Salmon with Lemon Dill sauce, Wild or Brown Rice, a veggie, like Asparagus and then a protein powder/drink with or later. So as you can see, this meal is not only delicious, but quite SUBSTANTIAL!
This is just one of the many great recipes the P90X Nutrition guide gives you! Look out for more lovely recipes posts here on my blog!

P90X Healthy Designed Eating
Beachbody truly took great measures to put together a fine program when they created P90X with the expert help of Tony Horton, and combined it with a terrific nutrition program designed by Carrie Wiatt, owner of Diet Designs. Carrie, a renowed nutritionist, knows how to make food delectable, fun and healthy in a way that you will indeed achieve all of your health and fitness goals.
The P90X Nutrition guide is simple to use and addresses everyone's nutritional needs while doing P90X or any other workout program. It can definitely be the guide you use for yourself, your family ... for LIFE!
"Your body does not run on exercise, it runs on the food you put in your mouth" ~ Tony Horton
Tatoo that on your hands as you go to reach for something to eat every time and you should be ok! The best things about the guide, is that you have entire meal plans, designed for 7 days a week making it very easy to manage. You also have amazing, tasty recipes that are easy to follow for almost everything and ones that can be made and stored for future meals, or just feed the whole family. You don't eat like a bird, but rather you eat with sensibility, giving you enough food to make you feel full and giving your body just what it needs to function optimally through your day and through your workouts. You really can't ask for more, however, Carrie explains that you can alter certain things. This is not about trying to make you crazy! It's about educating you on nutrition while enjoying the taste!
My children enjoy tomato soup, so I decided to make the P90X "Red Pepper Soup" last night which is a combination of red peppers and tomatoes (and other goodies). I did not tell the children about the peppers (I just felt that it was not necessary :) because the soup looks red, and sometimes simple works best with the children. In the guide, there are 3 phases of the nutrition plan to cover a normal 90 day home fitness program, however, everyone does not have the same experience, so the guide helps you understand how many servings and calories you need depending on your individual goals.
See my blog "Red Pepper" Yum-Yum for the recipe and pictures!
Day 19 was fantastic! I did Legs, Back, Ab Rippin AND my favorite funky sweat inducing (makes me so happy) Turbo Jam! Chalene Johnson is one hip, energizing instructor!
Have a great weekend!

Come get what you want and really need!
What is better? Aches, pains, bodily "issues", stress, medications, limitations, daily complaining ... OR.... energy, less stress, confidence, less aches and pains, less complaining, more optimism, no medications, smiles, happiness, GOOD HEALTH (or at least better health)?
That seems like an easy question to answer but why is it the hardest thing for people to choose??
Eckhardt Tolle speaks about the "pain body" in "A New Earth," and perhaps that explains why. If you have not read that book, go get it! Understand why and make a change!
Today was Day 18, Yoga X day! Yoga! Yoga! Yoga! So good for ya! For ya! For ya! I know I am silly but, it's the truth. It's the best, most nutritious workout you can give your BODY, MIND AND SOUL!
I was a bit radical today though and decided to go with what my mind (and body) really wanted to do, so I did the first 45 minutes of Yoga X, then Turbo Jam (Punch, Kick Jam) and then the 2nd half of Yoga X. It just seemed to be the right recipe for me today and the combination left me totally satisfied, energized and exercised for the day and all it's happenings!
A day without a great workout breeds a day of lackluster, laziness and apprehension. A day with a great workout inspires a day of many accomplishments and possibilities!
I will say it until the cows come home, Beachbody has EVERYTHING you need for a fulfilled, healthy lifestyle! Come talk to me and I will help you get what you WANT!

Weighing in on REAL SUCCESS
How do you measure success as it relates to your health program? Some weigh it by the scale and how much weight or inches they have lost. Some weigh it by the improvements they have made in cardiovascular or strength abilities. Some just weigh it by how much better they feel.
This is the wonderful thing about journeying on a new and effective health program, it will bring about success in a multitude of ways, depending on what you do and how you pay attention. There are many people who finally decide to start a new program, only to give up a few days/weeks or even months down the line because they are not in tuned to all the changes that are truly taking place.
You can't make a decision to get healthy based on pictures of other folks that you see and say, "I want to look like that," and then if it does not happen in 30, 60 or 90 days, you give up. You will be successful when you truly sit down and assess ALL the changes that you need to happen.
Some of the changes are apparent, some are subtle, but some of the changes are only noticeable if you are aware of where you started, how long it truly takes to get to where you really want to go, and how appreciative YOU are of YOUR efforts.
As a Beachbody Coach, I see all types of transformations happening, some are miraculous and phenomenal, and others are less miraculous, but that is just a reflection of the fact that we are different types of human beings, with different types of issues, abilities, desires, etc. We can not all put in the same efforts, nor reap the same results, and some of the reasons why is because we all think differently, live different lives and we all manage our stress in varying degrees. Some of the fittest looking people, may have some of the most stressful lives.
I urge anyone who is starting on, or already engaging in a new health program to do the following:
1. Be true to yourself. What do you really want? How will it benefit you?
2. Keep a journal and document as many things as you can along the way. It will help you to keep track of your changes, and it will be a great reference later on down the line.
3. Praise yourself for each and every, big or small hurdle that you clear. Do a lot of cheering and keep the complaints to a minimum.
4. Even if you fall off your horse, just get back on and keep it going. You are human and will have those moments. Just try to keep them to moments.
5. Be willing to try something new and different. Don't be your own obstacle. Dont' talk yourself out of something healthy -- talk yourself into it!
6. Stick to your program, and do not compare yourself to someone else. You truly will never know exactly what someone else experienced to get where they are.
Success is when you:
1. Start feeling better and see improvements on health evaluations. Get off the medications!
2. Able to do more exercise than you used to. Perhaps you have more endurance or more strength.
3. Can walk up and down stairs and feel energetic.
4. Have more positive thoughts than negative thoughts.
5. You feel like smiling -- a lot!
6. You are willing to keep learning more about health so that you can benefit on an on-going basis.
7. You do good things for your mind, body and soul on a daily basis.
Those are just a few, and you can certainly build on them.
Continued SUCCESS is when you:
Realize that it's not a one time program, but a LIFE long, LIFESTYLE change that you have committed to!

Half of the first of the new
What? Half of the first month of the New Year is up already, wow, that went so fast! I hope that each and every 17 days of it has been healthy for all! Ok, so everyday can not be a totally healthy day, but an hour or two of it can lay the ground work for an "intentional" healthy day! That's the key!
If you can at least dedicate a small part of your day to making health conscious goals for your mind, body and soul, the rest of the day will most likely tend to be healthier than not. It's the truth. I remember knowing a few people who would get up and start the day off not-so healthy and then from there their attitude would be, "oh well, might as well just go for broke!" The problem with that attitude is, it often causes a chain reaction and ruins the next many days to come.
Even if it's the hardest thing you "think" you have to do, why not, at the very minimum, dedicate the first 2 hours of each day to a purposeful personal healthy deed? Do something specifically beneficial for your well-being. Treat it as a chore for the first few days and see what happens. Perhaps you end up noticing all the benefits of those good choices right away and come to realize that you actually liked it a lot!
Try it!
Well, as I embark upon the 2nd half of the first of the new (week 3 of P90X), I am looking forward to this end of Phase 1. The 1st 2 weeks felt great! Yesterday I had a fantastic Kenpo X workout. It just amazes me how a workout that I have done perhaps more than 40 times over the past 8 months, can continue to feel exhilarating, intense and fulfilling! For the folks out there that outgrow the gym that they join at the beginning of the new year and still continue to pay those monthly dues, I would like to invite you to try a Beachbody home fitness program. Get a couple and mix it up if you so choose! You will have the ability to have comfort, meaningful training and variety at home without having to pay over and over!
Contact me for more information! Perhaps you would like to also consider becoming a Coach like myself! The opportunity is a GREAT one, and a great way to make a extra money while motivating others to get into great health!

Lose 10 pounds a day!
Dare to dream! People get discouraged easily because they set unrealistic goals thinking that they can lose a lot of weight overnight, mostly because of the false advertisements that rip-off products profess to be able to promise. It's just not possible.
In very desperate situations, a person could lose a lot of weight in a short period of time, such like the folks on Biggest Loser, but you see what it entails to be able to do so, a tremendous amount of hardwork, with signficant supervision which is clearly unrealistic for a normal lifestyle.
If you have spent a few weeks, months, or even many years amassing an unhealthy lifestyle, carrying extra weight, it will take a slow, steady and dedicated program to get you to where you want to be and to be able to sustain it.
When you are truly wanting to commit, deep in your heart, then it will happen because you will then focus on doing what is necessary in order to be successful.
Lose 10 pounds a day? This actually grabs people and then when they see it can't be done, they give up within the first week of their programs because they wanted instant gratification.
Don't give up your program so easily. Give yourself time to do what is necessary to produce the results you want. Have patience with yourself.
Some people decide that when they are ready to put their new health program into effect that they will do it completely committed, down to scheduling every meal, every morsel of food, counting every calorie, etc. That is ok. Other decide to just get up and do it and figure it out as they go. That is ok too. Everyone needs to decide what will work for them. If you know you can "play it by ear" and be successful, fine, however, if you know you need to properly plan everything out -- then PLAN!
Plan for a journey. Plan for good days and bad days. Plan for roadblocks, detours, obstacles. Plan for weather interruptions. Plan for achy muscles, and days where your food choices seem boring. Be flexible. Be ready to make adjustments. Be calm.
Plan to put in the time and energy. Do not plan for quick fixes because they do not work.
If you have to lose 5, 10, 20 or 50 lbs, set a realistic goal and follow through! Two steps forward, perhaps one step back, four steps forward, perhaps another one step back. So long as progress is being made, keep it going! More realistic, healthy goals are about 1 - 3 lbs a week, depending on your program.
One last important plan: Plan to keep it going forever. You can not plan to become fit and healthy for a short, one time period of your life. It's a lifestyle change!

Give it another try
Though there are millions of very happy Beachbody customers walking around sharing their achievements about their successful health journeys, there are even more that don't share their success stories, but DO own one of the great workouts. I have met people who have proudly (or seemingly so) told me, "I have that P90X at home, I bought it last year, but I never really did the whole 90 days." Or some say, "I tried it and it did not work for me, so I stopped using it after the first month."
Some people admit that they felt intimidated, some say they could not find the time, some say they hurt themselves, some say they just stoppped, and some just say that it did not work for them. Well, I would like to suggest to ALL that say they bought it (or ANY other Beachbody workout) and never successfully completed the program, to seriously consider GIVING IT ANOTHER TRY. Why? Because the programs are well worth it.
You will have to do a few things along with your decision to try again:
1. Change your attitude. "IT" can not work for you. YOU have to work for "IT" The workouts are fantastic, intelligent workouts, that will work for you when you put in the proper time and effort. You must do what is suggested. Show up daily for your workout and eat properly.
2. Follow through with all workouts. Follow the schedule as provided. The program makes sense and just needs to be followed to get the right results. Try to focus more on completion and less on all the other distractions. Forget about your mood, forget about your job for the moment, forget about the weather.
Forget about who in your life has something to say that does not promote you to be healthy. Focus on following through.
3. Stop judging yourself. Some of the most unfit people have had the absolute best results doing the programs. People have transformed their lives and gone from being extremely unwell, to being amazingly healthy. It can be done. Just keep trying, by showing up and doing the workouts to the best of your ability. Over time you will improve.
4. Stop being negative. Your negative attitude will prevent you from being successful. Try to be positive throughout. Working out + healthy eating + positive attitude = SUCCESS.
5. Keep a good Coach (Beachbody Coaches are here for you once you purchase a program through Beachbody) to help you achieve your goals. Don't hide. Don't worry. Share your weaknesses. Ask questions. Seek guidance.
6. Dispel the myth that a FANTASTIC health program can not be achieved in the comforts of your own home. If you are going to a gym and not ideally fit, it's time to try something different. If you are doing nothing, it's truly time to try something different. Working out at home is highly effective, it saves time and money.
I urge anyone who has the program to TRY IT AGAIN and commit to completing it. And realize that it's a start. You can do it over and over again to maintain your wonderful new state of health, or you can build on it, and get even fitter!!!
I urge anyone who has tried other programs and failed, to TRY AGAIN with one of Beachbody's programs. There are so MANY great ones to choose from and Beachbody will continue to grow and add more since it knows that there are MANY ways to achieve optimal health.
Feel free to contact me and I can help you to choose the right program, to stick with it, and achieve your desired health goals.

P.S. Day 3, week 2 for me -- my 3rd 90 days doing P90X. I love it just as much today as I did when I purchased it 3 years ago. Can you imagine? Today was Shoulders, Arms and Ab Ripping. It's such a comfort to know that as a woman in her 40s, working mother with two very busy, active young children, I can get my hour or two to workout daily ... at home, and stay in great HEALTH. I am thankful for discovering Beachbody, it truly works for my lifestyle!

Not feeling the workout today!
Last week, I was on fire! Every workout each day was just GREAT! No issues. No holding back. Just the way you want every day to be. The truth is some days you don't feel like working out, but like a good girl or boy, you just grin and bear it, do your time and keep it moving.
Today was one of those days. I got up at 4:45 a.m. to do my usual routine, coffee, read a bit, get inspired, and move into my workout by 5:15-5:30 a.m. I threw Tony into the DVD player (Plyo X), got my clothes and sneakers on, pressed PLAY, and then...........
Blah! This is what my mind was saying, "Oh Brother! Do I really want to do this? Do I really have to do this?" I tried to get mentally right, tried to see the big picture, tried to just "do my best, and forget the rest." After the 10 minute warm-up I thought all would be fine but I was still having a lackluster attitude about this whole thing. How can this be? Only the 2nd week of P90X, and this is not a good thing to be happening so soon.
I pressed PAUSE and thought, "Ok, what can I do to change what is happening here because I will not stop." Stopping will cause me to be upset with myself, and then take it through the rest of my day. Stopping may affect tomorrow's workout, it could cause a chain reaction. I hear it all the time. It's a 58 minute workout and so there is no need to stop and not do it. 58 minutes will have a lasting positive effect. No minutes working out has the capacity to have a negative lasting effect. I will opt for POSITIVE.
Well, I said a prayer asking God to help me get through the workout with some sort of effort,and then I got some water, took a few sips, and repressed the PLAY button. I said, "Tony, I am going to do this. I am going to do my best, that's about all I can do."
And, so Tony and I (and the others), did our thing. I stopped worrying, and just did each exercise, sipped some water in between and by the time I got halfway through the workout, I was feeling happy, energetic and VERY happy that I did not quit.
I ended up adding extra intensity, extra reps, no breaks, no stopping! What a fantastic workout! Plyometrics is a wonderful jump training workout that improves agility, strength and power! It's a true confidence builder!
Again, I am thankful for my P90X.... 3 years later! The gift that keeps giving and giving! Many times I hear people say that they did not feel like doing a certain workout ( I get like that some days too) so they switch their schedule and do something else. Well, after today, I think I will not do that (for now) during this 3rd round of P90X because the schedule is designed to be done in a particular order. You may not be in the mood initially, but you will get there by the time it's over! You really can not know if you are in the mood for something, or able to do it, until you try to do it, follow through, see it to completion!
Anyone wanting to get into great shape should try P90X -- for the full 90 days before you cast any judgments or decide if you like it or not. You can't benefit by stopping after one week, one month or 2 months... see it to the end! You will probably end up "feeling" very good about your 90 days of working out! Come give it a try! I can help you!

Second week of a healthy 2010!
How's it going out there? Staying healthy? I keep hearing about colds, stomach viruses, other illnesses! Beef up security! How? Eat right, exercise (exercise!), manage your stress, laugh, dress properly, get enough sleep, and enjoy living!
If you can't get to the gym, BRING the gym to you! There is truly no excuse to not be able to workout because there are all sorts of fantastic workouts and ones that are truly effective even in as little time as 10 minutes a day! Start with 10 minutes a day, form a new habit, and build on it! Stop thinking that you need this and you need that, those are mere EXCUSES and it's time to abandon the excuse train, and jump onto the HEALTH train!
No more pondering, no more seeking the so called "ideal" time to get it going. There is no better time than now. The present moment is the ONLY ideal time for ANYTHING. The present is your PRESENT -- your GIFT!
Give to yourself! Give yourself the GIFT of meaningful health. The gift takes time! If you have neglected your health for a long time, it will take TIME to undo the neglect. It will take time to get used to the NEW program. It will take time for your body to repair, and for your mind to appreciate what you are doing.
Don't give up! Better to get some aches, pains, new taste buds, than to live with illness, sadness and despair!
Today I started week 2 of my 3rd round of P90X and I am so thankful. You will hear (read) me saying this over and over. I was so happy to get out of bed, read for a few minutes and then jump into my Chest, Back and Ab Ripper workout! Done before the children got up to get ready for school. I actually get giddy that I am able to do this with such ease. No worries about going out into the cold! I did my best and forgot the rest!
P90X is the BEST home fitness program anyone could ask for!!!! No strangers germs in my house, no lines, no costly personal trainers that don't know what they are doing, no having to drive anywhere, no having to dress a certain way!
Only EFFECTIVE fitness training! Period!
Contact me if you want to get into good health! Perhaps P90X is not for you, but I can guarantee you that there are other great Beachbody workouts that can fit your lifestyle and give great results! Put the excuses aside, and put your health first! I can help you!

Today I started week 2 of my 3rd round of P90X and I am so thankful. You will hear (read) me saying this over and over. I was so happy to get out of bed, read for a few minutes and then jump into my Chest, Back and Ab Ripper workout! Done before the children got up to get ready for school. I actually get giddy that I am able to do this with such ease. No worries about going out into the cold! I did my best and forgot the rest!
P90X is the BEST home fitness program anyone could ask for!!!! No strangers germs in my house, no lines, no costly personal trainers that don't know what they are doing, no having to drive anywhere, no having to dress a certain way!
Only EFFECTIVE fitness training! Period!
Contact me if you want to get into good health! Perhaps P90X is not for you, but I can guarantee you that there are other great Beachbody workouts that can fit your lifestyle and give great results! Put the excuses aside, and put your health first! I can help you!
