A free copy of the book Bring It by Tony Horton (P90X) in April!

bringit

I got this book back in December 2010 and have been slowly absorbing it. Over the years I have done P90X, P90X+, Power 90 and the One on One Series. The concepts Tony Horton shares in his book, Bring It, is a great reminder for motivation, nutrition, breaking through excuses and plateaus, and using proper form to make each exercise effective. Bottom line… Bring It and Get Results!

I love having the book as a part of my tool kit and the Tinsley’s want to give a copy to you!

Here are the details!

P90X Part 2, P90neXt, P90X: MC2, P90X the next generation…

One on OneWhatever you want to call it, a BRAND NEW VERSION of P90X is coming out in 2011! The official title is called P90X: MC2. The MC stands for muscle confusion and that is what go me in the best shape of my life with the first P90X.

After I completed Power 90 in 2003 I was looking on the horizon of a new program Beachbody was going to put out for us P90 grads. They started putting teaser videos on their web site for a new program caller Power 90 Extreme, which was shortened to P90X. In 2004 I had the pleasure of being in the first group of P90Xplorers and we forged on wondering where this 90 day program would take us. With intense workouts that left no muscle untouched we saw changes happen with our strength and flexibility every week. We watched the rep count increase as we recorded our results on our daily logs. And yes, we learned many lessons on how to eat properly to fuel our bodies for such an intense workout.

Now, we get to experience the thrill again… twice! This time, no teaser videos. We can dive right in on what Tony Horton is working on. Each month you can get a new workout DVD come right to your mailbox and try out the workouts that Tony is testing to go into the final P90X: MC2 set. These next few years we are going to have so many cool things to look forward to! Come and join me on this journey and get confused with me by getting P90X One on One with Tony Horton right now!
Then next year when they release P90X: MC2, you will be able to buy that new program 50% off because you subscribed to the One on One series! HOW COOL IS THAT?

Here’s a teaser video for the new One on One series. I just got mine this week! Get yours Here!

90 Day Workout Hybrid

One of the great things about doing a workout programs that have a lot of variety is the fact that you can mix and match them to create your own hybrid fitness programs. That takes the cost of these programs even lower (goodbye gym membership!) and makes the body work harder. All this while having fun and challenging yourself within the comfort of your own home!

This 90 plan was shared by my friend and fellow coach, David Newman of Florida. He’s been interacting on the Team Beachbody message boards and discovered a few hybrids to try. He spun this version to make it his own using a combo of Rev Abs, P90X, P90X Plus, One On One with Tony Horton and Insanity.

I plan on giving this a whirl for sure. Wow! I love it. If you need any of the program above to accomplish this hybrid, you can shop here and get the authentic Beachbody fitness programs in their entirety.

Middle-Aged and Feeling Better than High School Days

I “want” to say I am middle-aged. I mean, I’d hate to think I am beyond that because I certainly don’t feel like it. You see, I hide my true age through plastic surgery and Photoshop (Just kidding. Photoshop does work wonders though! Look at magazine models!).

Actually, I learned to reverse the age thing by revamping the way I treat my body and changing the way I look at life. I am 45 years old and continue to improve as each decade passes. I’m proud of that.

It’s not easy to stay consistent at something, but treating yourself by taking good care of YOU is a must. An absolute must.

There are so many things working hard to keep us from making that happen. So, retooling your mind to decide who is in control is the first step. It’s easy for others and circumstances to seemingly make our decisions for us, but at what cost?

Now, I’m not going to get on my soap box and tell you to get off the “poor me” bandwagon. You know you can do the things to get yourself healthy and fit. And, if you’re subscribed to this newsletter, you know how. You’ve seen and read testimonies. You’ve seen the tools I’ve suggested and the nutritional products to get results!

Hard work? Yes! Just tell yourself “bring it on!” Because you know what? You are surrounded by tons of support and know it can be done one day at a time. Ignoring it and doing nothing should not be an option. I don’t believe people set goals to treat themselves poorly, but you know what? I think it happens when people don’t put themselves first. Ignoring what needs to be done is similar to consciously deciding not to take care of yourself. (I hear my car and house applauding that statement when they are in need of repairs. Noted!)

It took me almost 40 years to figure that out. I let things slide for way too long. I’m just fortunate that I got clued in and took action. Each day, every day, a little bit better. And now, I am proud to be middle-aged and feeling better than my high school days!
