PT in! What is on Perry’s Mind
Challenging Moves in P90X2
There certainly are some challenging moves in P90X2! You may have seen my assessment at how P90X2 is going so far. If not, see video below. As I come upon completion of the the 3rd week in phase 1 (the foundational phase) I realize there are some moves I want to do better. I know this isn't a course for mastery, but darn it, I want to conquer them! These moves are what my friend, Arlene Paraiso, calls "nemesis moves." So, while I am getting better each week and have noticeable improvement in each exercises, I'm going to add in an extra week or two for phase 1. P90X2 is flexible in the calendar where you can do this phase from 3-6 weeks depending on your needs. I love this because it allows you to have the goal of "getting better" as opposed to "getting through it." So, what are my … [Bring It ...]
How to choose your exercise program this year by your “Fitness Personality”
Right now you are deciding on those “exercise” and “lose weight” goals for the year. You are seeing a ton of advertisements for promising gadgets, magic gizmos, and can’t refuse offers.

Les Mills BodyPump Home Version – Les Mills Pump by Beachbody
To tell you the truth, I pretty much wrote this workout off as something I wouldn't be interested in.. until I bought it, tried it and I love it! Finally! Les Mills BodyPump that is taught at thousands of clubs in world wide every week. So, it's very popular! There's now a home version called Les Mills Pump (here's a video clip)! I have several friends on Facebook who are BodyPump trainers and taught in clubs. Some of these friends are Beachbody Coaches and they were fired up when Beachbody decided to partner with Les Mills in the creation of this at-home workout program. My wife, Hillary, told me that they offered BodyPump at her old Gold's Gym. So there was a lot of buzz around it, but I like working out from home and already have an entire library of Beachbody workouts so there’s … [Bring It ...]
You reached your fitness goal! Welcome to your New Normal!
People don't often realize that once you've reached )or approached) your fitness goal, you now have a new "normal!" For many people I coach, they get amazing results with their complete fitness and nutrition program in as little as 6 weeks. The thing is, some struggle to find a way to maintain it. To be lean for life they need to embrace their new habits. Most do a 30, 60, or 90 day program striving for results. They show up every day and exercise and (mostly) eat right. The final weigh-in and photos shows awesome results. When this occurs, people should be thinking “what’s next?” If you were just trying to lose weight for something temporary like a wedding or vacation, you're going to gain the weight back unless you have a plan. You have to change your mindset from thinking, … [Bring It ...]

Pick and Choose your Cheat Calories!
Many people feel that there is a benefit to having a cheat meal (or sometimes a cheat day) as a part of their overall nutrition program. I’m not going to weigh in on that subject. This article isn’t about whether you should or shouldn’t. I’m going to assume that you look forward to the occasional cheat meal with some sort of food that isn’t the ideal fit for your nutrition and health goals. This article is about putting yourself in control to make conscious choice about those “cheats” and how to not let them take control to become cheat days/weeks/months. You decide to have something off the “healthy” radar. My tip. Make it A REALLY GOOD CHOICE. Make it worth while. Make it something that you’ll look forward to all week long. Make it worth putting in an extra workout … [Bring It ...]
Yoga is way too hard! Do I have to do it?
Yoga is way too hard! Do I have to do it? Is it necessary in the grand scheme of things? I used to think it was not. Yoga is one of those workouts that always seemed way too boring and “fluffy” too me. I’m sure I had this perspective due to ignorance and maybe a little bit of fear. This was, it always seemed to be everywhere. On morning TV shows and almost always threaded through Beachbody programs. So, what did I do when I first started working our and came to the yoga exercises? You guessed it! I skipped them. Who need to do yoga? I mean I tried and it was way too hard. My mind wasn’t into it. Besides, what was the point? Fast forward eight years to the writing of this blog and I actually look forward to “Yoga Thursdays!” I actually have a special name for my workout. … [Bring It ...]

P90X2 infomercial – Get Featured!
Should I create a sense of urgency right now? Go get P90X2. Let's do this together! Let's get featured in the P90X2 infomercial! I'm so pumped that people can pre-order P90X2 with zero money down and have it by Christmas! Back when P90X came out there were no infomercials for it. Just little teasers online about what Tony Horton and Beachbody was up to in creating a new extreme home fitness program called Power 90 Extreme, which became P90X. Like a scared and excited child, I signed up to get notice of it's release and bought it when it came out. When it arrived, I dig right in and brought it for 90 days not knowing how it would transform me. There were no examples out there to inspire me. I did it for me and got great results. I videotaped those results and sent them into … [Bring It ...]
Shake Off for Great Health
It is very easy to want to compare so many health shakes out there. What are you looking for a shake to provide? Weight Loss? Meal Replacement? Protein? Digestive enzymes? Super foods? Quality ingredients? Whole food sources? Great taste? Amazing value for the price? Something that provides regularity, energy, and vitality? There are so many spreadsheets out there with all of the comparisons of why one shake is better than another. Many of them try to show you bottom line pricing that typically doesn't give you the whole picture for the most nutritional value you can buy. The thing is, reading between the lines and doing your research will give you the best nutrition for the price. This is one of the reasons I use and whole-hardheartedly recommend Shakeology. Personally, I feel … [Bring It ...]

Be persistent to live healthy, get fit and overcome life’s obstacles
I know I have talked about being consistent with workouts and watching the kinds and amounts of foods you put into your body. I think we all know that those things lead to being healthy! When you start taking your first step on your journey, the road seem so long and daunting that it's easy to make little excuses along the way. Life has its obstacles. Life has its challenges.

15 tips to achieve and maintain a lean body
It’s no secret that getting that chiseled, sculpted body takes time, consistent workouts and a variety of exercises. For many people out there, getting that lean looking stomach is sometimes looked as the holy grail. I have talked to people over the years who spend so much time exercising hard and even doing two or three workouts in a day to get that lean look. While it might seem like that’s the way to go, my experience has been that effective workouts don’t necessarily have to take lots of time. Actually, it’s only about a third of the equation. You see, getting that lean looking body takes “kitchen work.” As Tony Horton says, “Great abs are made in the kitchen.” Setting yourself up for success with what you eat and how you eat is going to melt away the flab and reveal … [Bring It ...]

Workout programs that chisel your body for an amazing lifestyle
After turning 47 this month I did a Power Blast Podcast on how P90X really took my health to new levels. It was really apparent when we attended the state fair and all of it’s temptation nightmares, when people approached me and asked if P90X really worked. How validating and what a compliment. Not only to me, but to the effectiveness of P90X and the results it can take a person. Especially a person who took the “dreaded 40s” decade and made it to be the best decade yet. So, I stepped back the other day after a hard workouts and it hit me. Over the past decade, it wasn’t just P90X that got me in stellar shape. It was an entire line of Beachbody workout programs, products and support systems that has chiseled the body and created the lifestyle I have today. I just disciplined … [Bring It ...]
