Beachbody Gym > Regular Gym

Take a look at my Beachbody Gym:

The only thing missing is the ballet bar I use to do modified chin ups and pull ups on, and a couple of sets of bands, a jump rope, and the Insanity Asylum agility ladder. And here is a common fitness center:

Not bad, but why bother if you can work out at home? The pic at the top was taken in one of our spare bedrooms that I use for my workouts, which is now officially my Beachbody Gym! Why does a Beachbody gym beat out a regular gym?

1) Convenience: You don't have to drive to a Beachbody gym, and fill your tank up with expensive gas. Plus, it's a lot easier to talk yourself out of a workout if you have to drive to your workout destination.

2) All the single ladies! And the married ones too. Let's face it; gyms can be meat markets. Most ladies don't want to be hit on by some sweaty guy, nor do we wish to be around someone trying to hook up with other people around us. No one but your significant other will hit on you in the Beachbody gym. If you want to flirt with Shaun T and Tony Horton on the dvds, well have at it! :)

3) Once you pay for your DVDs, you're done. They belong to you forever! No contracts, monthly payment increases, etc. etc. etc.

4) You can roll out of bed, looking like the Cryptkeeper, and workout in your Beachbody gym every morning! You don't have to brush your hair or find matching workout clothes. You can wear your shorts with the bleach stains and your Hogs Breath Saloon shirt from Key West with the holes in it! It's YOUR gym!!

5) Privacy!! Folks, I am not coordinated at all. I sweat like a sea donkey. I have to take breaks and pant sometimes. And it's okay in the Beachbody Gym. No one is there to judge me.

So what are you waiting for? Find a Beachbody workout that's right for you, and create your own workout sanctuary! www.beachbodycoach.com/cfdshark

New Beachbody Product! Ultimate Reset Cleanse!!

Ok, I am super pumped about this product, which is supposed to come out by this summer! Every cleanse I've ever tried was way too harsh and left me feeling weak. But Beachbody products are so awesome! I never liked protein or meal replacement shakes until I tried Shakeology! That's why I know this will be a kicking bootylicious product! Beachbody products WORK! If  YOU work, THEY work! :)

 

The link below (yes it's long, but you can always watch for a while and come back!) is from the March 2012  Coaches Summit. CEO Carl Daikeler and his wife Isabelle (fitness guru and co creator of Shakeology) explain the Ultimate Reset. Enjoy and I will keep you posted on its release date!

P90X Yoga / P90x2 Yoga Suck! Or do they?

What is the hardest workout in P90x? Easy...YOGA!!! Many fitness buffs (or self proclaimed fitness buffs) do not consider yoga to be a real workout! Why? Because it isn't about running and jumping, squatting and lifting! So what? If you're really into fitness, you know that flexibility is key to overall wellness. What's the point of having 2% body fat if you can't touch your toes or scratch our back??

As we get older, we are more prone to injuries. Yoga will help! If you're an athlete and you want to prevent injuries, Yoga can help! If you want overall wellness....yep, Yoga can help!!

Wouldn't you love to be able to do these poses??

Click on the link below and hear what P90X / P90X2 creator Tony Horton has to say about people who are anti yoga! Boy, does he make a lot of sense! The next link is Tony, at age 52, showing why you should NEVER skip the Yoga!! If you want to try ALL of the P90x /90x2 workouts, you can order on my website: www.beachbodycoach.com/cfdshark. Namaste, people! :)

Shakeology!! You Gotta Try This!!!!

**This post is dedicated to one of my favorite personal fitness trainers, Antione Thomas aka Trainer Tweezy, who is convinced I live off of cupcakes and champagne! ;) **

Do you know how I know Shakeology is awesome? Personal experience, baby! I wake up every morning CRAVING Shakeology! Shakeology comes in 3 flavors: Greenberry, Chocolate, and the newest, Tropical Strawberry. Shakeo is delicious and filling. I usually drink mine around 6am in the morning (I get up at 5am to workout during the week), and I stay satisfied and full until around 12:30pm - 1pm.

There are lots of recipes and different ways to make Shakeo, so find the one that works for you. I use chocolate soymilk (Soy Slender is my fave) or Almond Milk. This morning's Chocolate batch was made with pineapple, banana, strawberry, and blueberry juice from my juicer with a dash of Chocolate Soy Slender. Sooo good! Shakeology already has tons of nutrients, but the fresh juice adds an extra punch! Check out the videos below. The first explains the science behind Shakeology, followed by Turbofire Creator Chalene Johnson mixing up her Shamrock Shakeology recipe. Want to try Shakeology? You can order thru my site: www.myshakeology.com/cfdshark!

Want to see some P90x2 workouts?

This morning, I did P90x2 Ploycide. Get it? Plyometrics + SUICIDE???? LOL, I can barely move! But  man, it was an awesome workout! You will use 8 lb medicine balls, a stability ball, and bands (at the end, for some terrific stretching).

Tony Horton is nuts!! And he is super perky, especially when you're working out at 5am. If you've tried p90x and want to continue with it successor, please visit my website: www.beachbodycoach.com/cfdshark.

Here's a great video someone put together, which shows a glimpse into the P90x2 workouts. Enjoy! And continue your P90x / P90x2 journey with me!! :)

Tai Cheng Comes Out Tomorrow!!

Who's pumped?? This girl!! I've wanted to do Tai Chi for years, but no gym offered it, and there were no cool DVDs either ! Meeeh!! If you do intense workouts like Insanity or P90x, or if you are an athlete recovering from and injury, this is for you. If you are older and haven't worked out in years, This Is For You! If you're breathing and want to keep breathing....yep...THIS IS FOR YOU!!

I can't wait to add Tai Cheng to my workout regime. I used to love to pop out of bed at 5am and get my workout grind on. But since I put on weight over the last two years, I do not sleep well at all. I wake up tired sometimes, so I have no injury for Insanity or P90x. Those have to be my evening workouts. Tai Cheng will be a perfect morning workout for me. And do not be fooled by these slow, controlled movements. This is one of the martial arts, and you will be surprised at what happens to you, mentally and physically.

Add Shakeology as a meal replacement, and you will definitely get your Zen on! :) Check out the link below as Dr. Cheng discusses Tai Cheng at the Beachbody 2011 Coaches Summit. You can order Tai Cheng (starting 3/22/2012) and Shakeology thru my websites: www.beachbodycoach.com/cfdshark and www.myshakeology.com/cfdshark.
