The Beachbody Coach Summit wrapped up today. I wasn't able to attend this year :(. I am lucky enough to be connected to quite a few people that did go and the message I heard from each of them was: "You have to be here next year!" Well, I can tell you that I've already purchased my ticket for Summit next year. It will be held in Las Vegas on June 22-24. Do you want to go? How about I pay for your ticket? Do I have your attention now? Read on...
I honestly believe there has never been a better time to get involved in this business, and specifically for a few reasons.
1 - P90X2 will be released this fall! You can make money every time somebody buys a copy. This will be absolutely huge and people will be lining up to be the first to try the sequel to the best selling exercise program.
2 - Shakeology is going Vegan and pink(new flavor). Two huge announcements that came out of Summit this year. The new flavor is Tropical (I understand it to be berries, pineapple, and papaya) and people are raving about the taste. Business for this product is exploding and will only grow with new offerings.
3 - Because you want to be healthy for yourself and those you care about. This should be the number one reason for joining Team Beachbody. After all, the mission is "to help people achieve their goals and lead healthy, fulfilling lives."
Is that reason enough to sign up? I thought so. How about I sweeten the deal?
Get P90X2 for FREE! Join my team as a coach and achieve Emerald status (that means you personally sign up two people to be coaches). Be at Emerald status the week that P90X2 releases and I'll send you a copy!
Get a FREE ticket to Beachbody Summit 2012. Join my team as a coach and achieve Diamond status (2 personally sponsored emerald coaches and six personally sponsored active coaches).

Day 4 of the Super Hybrid called for Fountain of Youth Yoga. I was so stoked when I saw this on the schedule. This is one of, if not the absolute, favorite workout discs I have. There is just something about breathing, stretching, and twisting for 40 minutes that really appeals to me now. A year ago I would have laughed in your face if you told me that I would enjoy yoga, let alone be able to touch my nose to my knee. I also would have been carrying a coke zero or a mountain dew and likely chewing on sunflower seeds. Wow, how things have changed since then!
I have been extremely sore from the Upper Body Massacre on Monday, so I haven't incorporated any kettle bell workouts in yet. Tomorrow is Strength from The Asylum so I doubt I'll have much left after that. Right now I'm focused on getting through week one of this craziness.

Yesterday was day 1 of the Super Hybrid workout. The routine on tap was 30-15: The Upper Body Massacre. The theory is you do 30 push ups followed by 15 pull ups. You do different variations for a total of 24 sets.
Eleven months ago when I started this journey I wasn't able to do a single pull up. Check that - I don't recall a time in my life when I was able to do a pull up. I was able to complete 7 for my Fit Test last week for Insanity: The Asylum, by far the most I've ever done. Asylum came with a pull up assist, which I used for a couple of weeks while I was wrapping up Phase II of P90X before I started Asylum. Then I didn't do a single pull up during Asylum (opted for lat push ups and other alternates instead). I opted for the pull up assist last night. I figured there was no way I could do the first set of 15 pull ups, let alone do it 11 more times. Even with the assist the most I got to was 12 and by then end I was down to 4. But the key is I stuck with it. I'm pushing myself out of my comfort zone and doing things I never though possible!
Push ups have become a friend of mine, but after about the fourth set of 30 I felt like I was toast. Tony Horton is an impressive man being 50 years old and able to do the things he does. He does drop down to 25-12 about half way through the video, but 25 diamond push ups is crazy at any time and this guy is busting them out for sets 17 and 19! The last few push up exercises I was doing 10-12. I could hardly lift my arms when I finished last night. I mixed a little recovery formula and chased that with a casein protein shake.
I hopped on the scale this morning and am now only 5 pounds away from my original goal! That means 60 pounds down, 5 to go. Although my workouts seem to be fast and furious, the pace has been slow and steady. This journey has taken eleven months. In no way am I planning on stopping once I reach the goal. This is a lifestyle now.

Change of plans...
I was turned on to a "Super Hybrid" workout put together by Mark Briggs. This schedule incorporates P90X, Insanity, Asylum, and the One-on-One with Tony workouts. It is a 90 day schedule and has me absolutely pumped to jump on this thing. I don't have Volumes 2 & 3 of the OOO, so I will have to make some substitutions. Either way, this is exactly what I was looking for and can't wait to get it started!
I did another ChaLean workout yesterday and was yet again impressed. I took today off and will do Relief from Asylum tomorrow to gear up for the start on Monday. I'll be putting together a word document of the program and will make it available to anybody that is interested.
Kettlebell still hasn't arrived, so I haven't been able to mix it up much yet. I did find a push up challenge today that I will complete tomorrow. Should be interesting as I've never seen about half of the moves. Looking into purchasing some new shoes to add some running into the mix, but having a hard time pulling the trigger.

Mixed it up with a workout from ChaLean Extreme last night. I've had the program for a few months, but have only done it once or twice. I can definitely see how people get results from the program, and really like her demeanor.
My kettlebell should be arriving today, and I can't wait to start using it. The P90X/Asylum hybrid officially kicks off on Monday and will conclude on July 5. That day is the one year mark from when I decided to change my life. On that day, I came home from a family picnic and stepped on the scale. The number that I saw (300) put me in shock (and probably should've caused a heart attack). I literally was pounding out push ups and using a resistance band for pull ups within 30 minutes. Thank you Chest & Back for being a tough, but honest, routine and starting things off on the right foot.
This morning I stepped on the scale to my lowest weight in who knows how long - 241. In eleven months I have managed to decrease my weight by 59 pounds and increase my health a thousand fold. My original goal weight was 235. It feels more in reach now than any other time on this journey.
My promise to you is if you stick with it, you will get where you want to be. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it!

June Challenge
Here we go with monthly challenge number five. Each month will have a different theme or goal. Also in the interest of bettering our health, each person should make a commitment to make one healthy change for the entire month. The goals are completely up to you.
The challenge for this month is TRY SOMETHING NEW. I know that I get stuck in a program or a routine and don't like to stray from it. If you've been running, try doing some resistance. If you always do push ups, change to sit ups/crunches. If you haven't been doing anything, kick yourself in the rear and get going! Either way, leave a comment with your name, what the goal is and what change you will be making for the month. Here are mine:
Goal - add kettlebell routines and running to the P90X/Asylum hybrid
Change - Eat a vegetable with every meal
I have started a thread on the Team BeachBody Message boards. You do need to register to participate on there, but let me tell you there are tons of resources and it is FREE! To register click here, then click on the join box, then scroll all the way to the bottom and click on try free membership. There is a paid membership option with lots of extra support like meal planning, access to BeachBody TV, a blog, fitness and nutritional articles, recipes, and they even give you a discount on products if you go this route. But the pay option is not necessary so please don't do it unless you see some value in what it offers.
Decide for yourself to make a change now. Commit to something. Find your success down the road. Anything that promises fast/instant results is not sustainable. Now is the time to take your life and health into your own hands. The only thing holding you back is yourself.
Here's to a healthier us!
