Tony Horton explains Beachbody Coaching

Boys and girls,

I'm unaware of your financial situation but I do believe that you're reading this page because you care about your health and fitness. If you have plenty of income and love your job then what I’m about to tell you might not be for you. If you're not thrilled with the way you make a living, would like extra income, love Beachbody products, like the way they make you look and feel, enjoy helping other people feel and look better, enjoy setting your own hours, get excited about being the captain of your own ship as opposed to working for the man - then listen up.

The reality is, your health and fitness moves beyond you. It impacts the people around you. You (whether you like it or not) have the power to change lives based solely on your own personal transformation. Inadvertently you become a catalyst for change. This is how I got started. I was clueless, asked a few questions based on my need to be strong and healthy, stayed with it and people in my life wanted to know what I was doing. Simple yet powerful.

If you want to share what you've learned with people in your life who want better health (and could use extra income in the process) then you should consider becoming a Team Beachbody Coach. I felt so strongly about this program that I’ve encouraged many of my friends to become coaches, even my own sister. She is doing great (even though my contract with Beachbody won’t let me help her). She is a perfect example of someone who had plenty of doubt and hesitation regarding the coaching opportunity and still found a way to make it work for her. A busy working wife and mother with three very active kids doesn't sound like a good candidate to start an in-home multi-level marketing company. Did you say multi level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or kitty liter, but this is Beachbody people! The number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily becoming the most popular fitness system in US history. Shakeology is the revolutionary replacement meal on the market today. We sell life-altering change - not soap. Tens of thousands of regular folk around this country are doing something they love because of this coach opportunity.

The unemployment rate still hovers around 10% but it doesn't have to be that way if more people were willing to see that new opportunities exist all around them. The Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity is one of them. Health care companies, pharmaceutical companies and our government are not capable of solving this obesity crisis and we can't wait around for them to do it. The crisis is now and the answer is YOU! I know that sounds a bit Rah Rah but it's true.

Cynics don't need to apply, but if you're sick and tired of the status quo and want to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of those around you, then open the door. The two major issues of our time - the health care issue and unemployment rate could be resolved if a million more people in this country decided to get healthy and share the wealth. This is a brand new industry waiting to explode. It's not happening in boardrooms or factories – it’s happening in the homes of tens of thousands of Team Beachbody Coaches and in the homes of their customers. With a tiny investment (actually the company is waiving the enrollment fee through the end of 2010) and a willingness to help people the sky's the limit.

Awesome Quote & Thoughts

Earlier today I was listening to some encouraging words from a Coach above me in my Beachbody team. He said that although our weekly conference calls had reached the end of their term, that we should not slacken our pace, energy, or effort. He expressed it perfectly with the following quote.

On the Plains of Hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions, who, at the Dawn of Victory, sat down to wait, and waiting--died!
George W. Cecil

Never give up. Not with your exercises, not with striving towards your goals, not with your business. Don't let anyone tell you you cannot. Prove them wrong and invite them along for your success ride.

World Vision Group Training

The alarm sounded at 6AM. SNOOZE. The alarm sounded again 9 minutes later. I thought "no way no how am I waking up this early on a Saturday to go run 5 miles." I was dressed and ready by 6:35AM. After a very light breakfast and some Zig Ziglar podcast in the car I arrived in Coconut Grove and searched for parking.

When I arrived at the Team World Vision meeting site at Kennedy Park, I found that all but two people had already left. I took off down the path to catch up to my fellow orange-clad long distance runner's. The grove is a fantastic place to run. There were hundreds of people including cyclists out there. From time to time you can catch a glimpse of the ocean as you keep tacking on the mileage. With no music, no watch, and no water, I began observing everyone around me to keep me distracted. People had their hydration belts, iPods, and water bottles equipped like we were doing a tactical insertion into hostile territory.

After 23 minutes I made contact with other World Vision runner's. After requesting how many minutes into the run they were, I decided to run a little further. All told it came out to 4 miles, a little less than I was shooting for.

It was a fun time getting to meet some teammates and seeing friends from my old church. I look forward to next week's training and putting some more wear and tear on my Brooks!

Rule of Fitness #1 Variety

At a recent fitness expo at FIU Tony Horton shared his 11 Rules of Fitness. The first is variety.

Variety helps prevent boredom and muscle plateauing. Be sure to target all areas of exercise in your routines. This includes: calisthenics, weights, yoga, sports, cardio, and core routines. Not only will this help you achieve a well-rounded body, but prevent injury from working out any one area too hard or too frequently. The beauty of many Beachbody programs is that they target everything leading to a fit more flexible you without risking hurting one part of your body.

Try variety within the same day. Perform cardio for 15 minutes before your weight training. Jump rope and a punching bag, a run, ultimate frisbee, or INSANITY's pure cardio. Then do your weight routine. You might be a little tired, but you will still have enough energy to maximize your resistance training and you will be burning calories for hours after your workout is complete.

Be curious and try new things. You may discover a passion for soccer you never knew you had ;)

P90X & INSANITY The Difference and Why it Matters

Hi,

As a Beachbody enthusiast I own both these fitness products and have been doing them for some time. I will be a P90X grad in 12 days and have performed about 15 sessions worth of INSANITY to boot. But as people's quest for physical prowess and a coveted six-pack goes on, the question often asked is "Which is better?"

A better question to ask is "Which program is better for me". Both sets of DVDs are fantastic and just by pushing play for a few months you will be in the best shape of your life. Before starting any fitness program you should assess your goals and current level of fitness. In the following paragraphs I will describe each program and the kind of people each is better suited for.

The program that launched Beachbody into fitness preminence you might say. P90X is 90-day extreme home fitness program designed to transform your body gracefully while incorporating multidisciplinary exercise including: Yoga, martial arts, weight training, jump training, and some good old fashioned cardio. This program is methodical, requiring you to purchase some minimal equipment and track your progress through workout sheets, a heart rate monitor, and before and after pictures. P90X was very well thought out. From the order of the exercises to the scheduling of the recovery week. If done correctly you will achieve great results; building muscle while losing fat and increasing flexibility.

Tony Horton - The man behind the program. Very motivating, hilarious, and unbelievably fit. If Beachbody were the Jedi Council, Tony would be Yoda. I think he is solely responsible for so many people sticking with the program. Do your best and... forget the rest!

Dig deeper! Not for the light at heart, INSANITY is a 60 day sweat inducing heart pounding crazy cardio experience. Their disclaimers about fainting, throwing up, and getting dizzy are repeated over and over so you know you are in for it when you press play. With that said, this program can be followed to melt off fat at an alarming rate. Prepare to eat more than ever and still find yourself losing 2-4lbs/week if done right. I enjoy the count down timer system they employ on the bottom of the screen. It lets you know how much time remains in each exercise, circuit, and entire workout respectively. The moves are varied and I have never found myself bored. The routines are shorter than P90X and require no equipment, lending itself to people a little more pressed for time or money. Many people have began incorporating select INSANITY DVDs into their P90X to maximize the calorie burn.

I recommend this program for someone who wants to lose fat fast, gain endurance, and has a high level of commitment 'cause this thing is tough.

Shaun T - The man behind the program. A track athlete in his younger days, he is now a Beachbody trainer extraordinaire. Lots of motivation, fast paced, and good form are what I like about him. I also appreciate that even he takes a rest from time to time. Gives me hope when I cannot complete the full 30 seconds - 1 minute of an exercise.

Both these products and more are available on my coach site.
