I’m ranting a bit here, so hang with me… Believe it or not, there are some people that get frustrated hearing me talk about fitness, nutrition, etc, or reading my blog or Facebook statuses about it.  They don’t like the talk about exercise.  They think it’s “obsessive.” And they are probably some of the ones [...]

So I’m at a crossroad with my P90X routine. This week is a recovery week, which means lots of Yoga, Core Syngerstics, a day of stretching, etc.  And, at the same time, I’m fighting a bicep tendon issue in my left arm as well as shoulders still not being 100%.  So I had a choice [...]

Being one month into P90X and having dealt with shoulder issues this entire time, I feel like I can comment a bit about what causes shoulder issues with the program and modifications that have worked for me during this rehab period. First, let me stress that you should always listen to your doctor or physical [...]

I’m in my 3rd real full week of P90X (excluding the first two weeks of the year, where I just did cardio and abs) and I’m already seeing things I need to adjust, both in my diet and in my exercise. For starters, I’m taking 2 recovery weeks.  Yes, that’s right….two.  I think it is [...]

If you follow P90X’s plan, you know you’ll eat 20% of your calories in fat (either 360, 480, or 600 calories a day).  Of course, you’ll eat the rest in lean proteins (i.e. low fat meats) or carbs/grains. Which is counter-productive to the Primal Blueprint diet. Instead of a 50/30/20 protein/carb/fat ration, I’m aiming for [...]

Over the last week I’ve had the chance to try out Beachbody’s new Energy And Endurance pre-workout supplement. I was not sure what to expect with this.  The only pre-workout anythings I’ve ever taken before were a banana (or some fat/carb/protein mix of food) and some pills made by Body Fortress that were to boost [...]

P90X Chest and Back today, along with Ab Ripper X.  My bicep tendon was a bit of an issue at time today.  I’ve actually learned that part of the problem is that my arm is internally rotated (when your arms are relaxed to your side, your hands should face each other…my left arm faces straight [...]

I’m three weeks into my transformation into eating via The Primal Blueprint and using P90X (modified) for my workouts.  It’s been a great three weeks and the transition has been easier than what I anticipated.  Although I’m not able to “bring it” like I want with P90X due to the shoulders, I still feel like [...]

It’s true:  Eating healthy, exercise, all of that ends up costing both time and money.  I don’t apologize for that and you should not use that as an excuse if you can. Because the truth is, taking shortcuts or ignoring your health is expensive too.  One cost you your money, and one can cost you [...]

I don’t write a lot about the coaching aspect of Team Beachbody.  I don’t write about how I make money everyday, that I have a chance to effect the lives of many people, help people improve their health, their finances, and their overall well-being, but I do. To me, this is much more than just [...]
