One of my customers emailed me today saying that she hadn’t worked out in about 2 weeks and had lost her motivation.  I gave her a few suggestions that I think may help you to get back in the game if you find yourself in the same situation 1.  It appeared that she had been doing Insanity since last Fall or maybe even before that.  If you’ve been...

“You’re saying ‘DANG Shaun T! That’s the warm up?!’  You’re DARN right!!!”  And Shaun T was right.  That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking.  What an intense workout Strength turned out to be.  The warm up was a workout in itself.  It starts off warming up the whole body by doing weighted squats and circling the...

I puked.  Yep.  My first day with Shaun T and his new program and I’m bowing before the porcelain throne at 6 in the morning.  This morning’s workout was Speed and Agility.  From the moment I started with the speed rope, I realized I have neither.  Within minutes I was out of breath and drenched in sweat.

So my copy of Asylum arrived last week.  I was like a kid on Christmas Eve dying to open my new present.  Since last summer, the only new workouts I’ve gotten are my P90X One on One’s each month, so to get a whole new program feels like a new adventure.  My plan is to document each day’s workout and what I learn, improve on, and struggle...

What an absolutely AMAZING day this has been!!!  This morning I woke up to find that both my fiance, Maiyumi and friend, RJ, each Beachbody Coaches on my team, had advanced to Emerald Rank. Because of this, I have now achieved Diamond Rank which means my coach, Josh, is now qualifying for 5 Star Diamond!  If you don’t know anything about Beachbody...

Over the last few weeks, I feel like I’ve had this same conversation with 10 or more people, so I thought I should write about the discussion.  The dialogue goes something like this: Person:                I’ve been doing P90X/Insanity/Chalene Extreme/fill in the blank for 2/3/4 weeks and I only lost 1/2/5 pounds.  What am I doing...
