Bringing it with P90X - 1/3 of the way!

So I am on day 29 of the 90 day P90X program!  I am loving it!  I have got all of my workouts in.  I did some minor substitutions as I teach Turbo Kick and PUMP every Wednesday, so I switched my days a little and replaced the Kenpo X day with the Turbo Kick workout!  I have also been doing the 45 minute Fountain of Youth Yoga from Tony Horton's One on One workouts instead of the 90 minute Yoga X!  -this is one of the two free workouts I got when I ordered my P90X, which you too would get if you order a program from me!
I have strayed a little on the nutrition!  The idea in the first month is that you limit your carb intake to 1 serving per day (plus a few servings of veggies) and lots of protein!  I did have more than one serving of carbs on many of the days.  Not a lot of servings, but enough to decrease the "fat burning" effect of the plan.  I also indulged a little over Easter weekend.  Not so much in chocolate, but in wine and carbs!  I know if is only 90 days and I know that nutrition is even MORE important the hitting every workout BUT if figure if I follow the 80:20 rule (hitting it bang on 80% of the time-which is actually usually 95:5), I will be in great shape!

So what are my results from the first phase?  I have gained .25" on each arm (note to self-don't go too heavy on arms) and I have lost .2% body fat!  I can definitely see progress in my arms and my abs feel awesome... just need to lose a few more % of body fat!  My weight is the same and the rest of my measurements are the same!  Admittedly I do not have much weight to lose and I already worked out regularly and I already ate fairly cleanly!  I do feel great though, I am already completing more pushups and up to 4 pullups, so progress is being made!
Day 28 was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and it was a butt kicker!  I found it more challenging than any of the workouts in Phase 1... not sure why! but I love a good muscle ache if it is for the right reasons :)  Although I am sore I still have ample energy and drive to work out today as I drank my Results and Recovery formula and replenished my muscles with glycogen!  A mistake that so many people make, not feeding their muscles!  If you have worked out for an hour or completed a workout that exhausts you, you need to refuel withing 1 hour of completing your workout for optimal benefits with a high carb to protein (4:1) snack!  The recovery drink is portable and it works!  If you want protein, wait until after you have had the carb mix so your body is ready to absorb the protein!

I will keep you posted on my progress this month!  60 more days and I will be ready to dive into the newest Beachbody program, Insanity Asylum!  I hear it is pure craziness!

Let me know when you are ready to dive into the Beachbody fitness family!  Take a look at this video which tells you about the different programs that Beachbody sells!  Let me know what looks interesting to you and we will get you rolling too!

What Happened in Vegas?

I just had an AMAZING weekend in Las Vegas with a passionate and energetic group of people! It is such an incredible thing when you get 350+ people together who are all on the same mission which is to help people reach fitness goals while at the same time working on our own fitness and financial goals!!! I have had many jobs over the years, and I have enjoyed most of them, but had never found my passion. Beachbody has given me the opportunity to reach new levels on my fitness, my health has never been better and I am helping people progress towards the same...an opportunity that is so phenomenally rewarding!!!

While in Vegas I also played the slot machines...I was a gambling virgin...and I won. I started with $4 and ended up with $6.11, plus an extra $1 awarded to me for my good luck :) 

A major highlight was getting a preview of Insanity Asylum, or at least of some of the new moves!  Then for some reason I accepted a tuck jump challenge ...apparently I need to be grateful I don't have a ceiling fan in my living room at home...look at that height :)
We also had business training, motivational speakers and a delicious sampling of Shakeology.
Events like this are a common occurrence for Beachbody!  We have a few coming to Bakersfield in the next few months and in other spots around the country.   Let me know if you would like to find out how you can join us on this amazing adventure! nicolabx@beachbodycoach.com

The Shakeology website has some amazing features now, make sure you check it out!  They have over 20 doctors that use the product and love it and recommend it to everyone!  Recipes, diet plan, ingredient explanation all in one place!  No new flavors at this time, but guaranteed satisfaction on ingredients and results!

The company CEO, Carl Daikler, is so passionate and excited about the business, and so involved with the "people",  it is awesome to see.

I am looking forward to next year's Summit, but first I am looking forward to an amazing year of sharing what I love! You can't deny results, you can't deny passion, you can't deny a business that is heading in such a positive direction. Come join me in sharing the news about Beachbody, be accountable to your fitness and maybe make some money while you are at it :) I will show you how! No training required, just some passion to accomplish and Beachbody will take care of the rest! Check out Carl's invitation!  I also learned that I am really tall while I was there ;)
