How to choose your exercise program this year by your “Fitness Personality”

January 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
ThisIsYourYearPYF-HT

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. I’m so proud of you for setting the goal to become healthier. So how do you decide what with work for you to help you reach your goals? This is how to choose your exercise program this year!

You and I both know that no matter what, it will take dedication and commitment to show up for yourself and put in the time and work. It’s a must. No magic pills will do it. No crazy drops (don’t get me started on this!). No wild, “scientifically engineered” gadgets.

Eat right and exercise. Simple in concept. Tough to do. But you’re worth it. And you know what? By the time it takes to devote energy to things that won’t work, you could have done what you have always known (eat right and exercise) and gotten healthier than the day before. Do this for 20 out of 30 days each month this year and you will make strides toward your goals. Use one of our eat right and exercise programs, and you may surpass your goals! Perhaps in a few short months. Still, you have to develop a life time mindset. So, let’s talk about those goals for a second.

What are you wanting to achieve by the end of the year? Why? What’s that reason? Seriously! “I want to drop 30 pounds” doesn’t mean much unless you can tell your reasons and what it will enable you to do. Give that thought first. Write it down. Then continue reading.

This year I want to achieve __________________ with my fitness and nutrition.
My biggest reason why is __________________________ because it will enable me to _______________________. I plan to start on ____________________.
My 30 day goal is:
My 90 day goal is:
My 6 month goal is:

Now, let’s chat about that fitness personality of yours. You want to find something that you know will get your results. Something you know you’ll stick with. Something fun! And Something at your current level!

I would love to recommend getting a gym membership somewhere as I know of several that have state of the art facilities and classes that are off the charts. Making sure you use the membership often to justify costs can be a struggle for some. I have seen too many of my friends get stuck doing monthly payments for years on end. If you are one who regularly goes… then good for you. Go find the one with all of the features you need to show up for yourself!

If the gym, health club or rec center isn’t for you, then I recommend some workouts that you can do from home. They take little space and minimal equipment. As a matter of fact, all of the equipment you need to get started comes with each of these programs.

Another perk… each program comes with it’s own nutrition plan. And to add more fuel to the fire to get you better results, I’ll list some bundle options that adds in a customized meal planner, support tools and an optimal nutrition meal replacement that is off the charts and have you looking for a new wardrobe!

Let’s define your “fitness personality.” What program trips your trigger? Weights? Dance? Kickboxing? Cardio? Are you just getting started, or looking for something more advanced? You can see descriptions of programs below.

  • Getting Started – Turbo Jam, Body Gospel, Slim in 6, Rockin’ Body, Power 90, Les Mills PUMP
  • Cardio – Brazil Butt Lift, Insanity, Turbo Fire, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, RevAbs, Power 90, Insanity The Asylum

Workout programs that chisel your body for an amazing lifestyle

September 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
chiseled-abs

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 myself to show up, do the work and take advantage of all of the amazing tools. It truly has become a Beachbody lifestyle of fitness, health, nutrition, support, friendships and so much more! Their workout programs are the only ones I have done over the past decade. Pretty impressive with all of the options that have popped up over the past few years.

No matter what health and fitness program you choose, you need to recognize that commitment starts with the small things. Those things you need to do daily. That’s what will bring you success. Show up each day! It’s never too late!

So, let me break this Beachbody decade down. It’s not to necessarily toot my own horn. It’s merely to point out the fact that these workouts and nutrition tools work well, provide variety, and are complete systems to get you results, as evidenced by the chiseled guy writing this article.

  • P90X Plus

  • Tony Horton One on Ones
  • Insanity The Asylum – Did 2 rounds. Love this program. So much fun!

2012

I do not publish this chronology to gloat (although I am rather impressed LOL!). I publish this to show that Beachbody produces a variety of body-transforming, life-changing workout programs. All a person needs to do is decide why they want to get in shape, commit to following a program as designed and get the support they need, and over time, the healthy lifestyle becomes… well, a lifestyle.

Come join me on this continuous journey. I’ll coach you. As you can see, I have lots of experience! :)

Prepping to get lean and fit with the Shakeology cleanse

August 2, 2011 By 1 Comment
precleanse

I got soft and got puffy and I didn’t like it one bit! So, I decided to try this out. While I have done my own variations in the past, I can’t say I did them 100%. In order to reverse a weekend binge or a derailment in food choices, I have found myself replacing meals with meal replacement shakes to still get good nutrition, but reduce calories.

This time around, my wife and I were really beating ourselves up with indulging a little much on a vacation and then continuing that behavior at home for another week. By the time Saturday night came around Hillary turned to me and said, “You wanna do the 3-day Shakeology cleanse?” Heck, I was game, I loved the stuff. But, in the back of my mind I was already panicking that I might get hungry, feel deprived and end up bailing on it. I had experience doing the 2-Day Fast Start shakes and that was just too much for me to tolerate (although it was effective and I felt great).

So, I agreed and we launched into it right away on Sunday. I decided to photo journey my experience.

We made it through the Shakeology Cleanse (some call it a Shakeology Fast Start) and in the end I was SUPER HAPPY with the results. We were pretty amazed how well it worked. I dropped 6-7 pounds and actually got into my lean and happy zone! Hillary lost 5 pounds. Best thing was that we did not feel deprived, although there was one afternoon where we felt a little urge for a snack. We created a fun way to tackle that and feel like we were treating ourselves!

Here’s the way we did the cleanse to keep up our momentum. We had one shake for breakfast. Then another at lunch. When we had those snack cravings mid afternoon, we made a version of Shakeology ice cream where we split one serving. That hit the spot. We had a salad for dinner (with 4oz of grilled chicken) and then later on, we split another ice cream. This was perfect and we felt great.

So often, when I hear the word “cleanse” and I think “deprivation.” This, however, was abundant, tasty, and actually felt like we were cheating the system. Boy, what a nice “go to” option when you get a little side tracked from your nutrition program.

If you’re looking to do a Shakeology Cleanse yourself but not wanting to commit to a whole bag of Shakeology, email me and I’ll sell you a “cleanse kit” for only $45!

Now, I’m ready to hit my workouts hard and submit my results!

Shakeology Sample for Free

July 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Shakeology

When I started my very first Beachbody workout program (Power 90) in 2003, one thing I struggled with was eating right. Honing in on what foods worked for me and against me was a challenge. Even in my first round of P90X, I struggled. It wasn’t until round 2 that I started focusing in on eating right. Food does matter. Especially when you are wanting to get lean and ripped.

When Shakeology was released in March of 2008, I was one of the first to use the product. It has been a godsend for me. I am not the biggest fan of vegetables and if I can have a meal replacement that like a chocolate or berry flavored delight, then I’m all in! Shakeology was the first supplement I ever had where I just felt better, had more energy and felt alive!

The thing that impressed me most were the results my parents got after they started with one shake a day. My father finally got his blood sugar levels into the normal range as he has Type II Diabetes. He also lost 27 pounds!

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and also has an issue with swallowing pills. When she showed her oncologist the ingredients in Shakeology, her doctor took her off of 8 supplements and told her that the shake has what she needed in there, so it wasn’t necessary to swallow horse pills. She even lost 14 pounds by combining it with Turbo Jam at the age of 67!

My wife tells me that Shakeology fills that sweet tooth craving of hers, and I agree, it does! She also loves doing a cleanse on occasion using Shakeology to get her back on track.

I know we are just a few success stories here in the family, but we have many other Shakeology success stories coming to us from the people that we coach, all because we tried something, realized the value in it, and recommended it to the people we care about.

You might be sitting there thinking, “will it work for me?” or “what if I don’t like it?” So, I want to help you out. I will send you a FREE Shakeology sample, but only on 3 conditions!

You have to be someone that I coach

You have to be truly serious about purchasing it if you like the taste

You have to watch the video that’s below.

It cost me about $6.00 to send out 1 sample, so that’s why it’s important for you to be truly serious. If you’re looking to just try it out and have no plans on purchasing, please don’t request one.

If I’m not your coach and you’d like to make me your coach, click below!

Make Me Your Coach

Shakeology is one of those “must have” life-changing products for me. That’s why I am sharing this with you. I highly recommend you start adding into your daily eating plan!

If you’re interested in getting a sample and meet the 3 requirements above, then: email me at perry@putyourselffirst.com with your address. I’ll get it out to you, ASAP.

If you’re ready to purchase it, just click the button below!

Chocolate Shakeology Ice Cream Recipe – Reese’s PB Cup

July 19, 2011 By 5 Comments
Shakeology Ice Cream Reeses PB Cup

Shakeology Ice Cream Reeses PB Cup

In the middle of summer you may want ice cream. My wife, Hillary did! She asked me to make some Shakeology Ice Cream since I make my shakes so think anyway. So, I’m posting up a recipe with the healthiest meal of the day made like ice cream style! With a Reese’s Peanut Butter  twist!
It’s a great treat to have something delicious and super healthy for you! Here’s the recipe. Just make sure you are using healthy ingredients to make it the healthiest meal of the day (or at least the healthiest snack of the day).

Chocolate Shakeology Ice Cream Recipe – Reese’s Style (The Perfect dessert any time!!)
Shakeology Ice Cream:

  • 1 to 1.5 cups of almond milk or fat free milk. Water works too.
  • 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
  • 1 Tbsp. Peanut butter or PB2
  • 6 ice cubes or 1 cup (or whatever thickness you desire)!

 

Preparation:
Put all ingredients into blender or use a food processor with an s blade. Blend on low for 15 seconds. Then blend on high for 30 seconds. Finish blending on low for 15 seconds. Eat immediately or put in freezer for about 2 hours. Add more ice if you need it thicker.

Enhance it: Use PB2 to back some small peanut butter chunks and freeze them separately. Then fold into the ice cream after it is all blended. I also lightly dusted the top of the ice cream with a little PB2. Kind of like adding extras like they do at Cold Stone Creamery!

IDEA: Use Popsicle holders (buy at Target, Amazon, etc). Kind of like a  Resses fudgesicle!

The Healthiest Meal of the Day
You Gotta Get this Stuff!

No other shake contains the world’s most powerful superfoods.

Shakeology is an ultra-premium nutritional shake. To create it, Beachbody searched the world for the most potent ingredients your body can easily absorb and utilize. This perfect combination of enzymes, prebiotics, antioxidants, and many rare ingredients—like adaptogens, Camu-Camu, and sacha inchi— give you the essential nutrients you can’t get from an average diet. Even eating the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables every day won’t give you this much nutrition.

No other shake, meal, or vitamin can make a claim this substantial.

Shakeology may help you:

  1. Lose Weight
  2. Feel Energized
  3. Improve Digestion and Regularity
  4. Lower Cholesterol (results may vary)

Tastes delicious, too!

How It Works*

This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

See this Web Site for More information about the participants and doctors who ran the study.
