Pike Place Fish Market does P90X! “Bring It and Fling It!”

Pike Place Fish Market does P90X

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a … SPLAT!
Woah. I think that was a salmon fillet that just went sailing through the wall at Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle, Washington. Obviously, the amazing, uplifting employees of this world famous attraction are seeing results from P90X!

In April of 2011, I had the fortunate opportunity to visit the well-known Pike Place Market. The first vendor we happened upon was the Pike Place Fish Market. This place always has many people watching in awe and laughter as the workers entertain the crowd with chants and throwing of fish that customers have purchased, before they are wrapped.

Well, I happened to easily strike up great conversation with one of the “fishmongers” named, Sam, who instantly recognized the P90X logo on my hat. He  wanted to know if P90X actually worked and got results! What could I do, but go over and share my experience!Pike Place Fish Market does P90X

He told me about several of the workers wanting to do the 90-day program, so I thought I would help them out so they could fling fish with speed and accuracy as well as sport 6-pack abs when they wore their waders during the summer! I got a list of the guys who wanted to start P90X. Then I got them set up with their own free Team Beachbody account so they could take advantage of the Online Super Gym and maybe win a daily prize of $1000 just by logging in their workouts! They could also test out many of the other features such as the community message boards, online chats with celebrity trainers and more. I think one of the guys is exploring the amazing meal planner as a part of the Team Beachbody club membership, but don’t quote me on that.

I do know that at least one guy is using Shakeology Home Direct as a part of his eating plan and so far is down 15 pounds as of this writing!

So, who are the Pike Place Fish Guys who are getting into Xcellent shape? Here are links to their Pike place Profiles
Ryan, Reese, Jake and Erik.

Here was a some feedback from Ryan Y. after his first month:

“…I am excited to switch to phase 2 next week. It will be nice to have a new routine. As far as stats go I have dropped around 15 lbs and almost 2 belt loops. Shakeology is awesome. I haven’t really been to adventurous with it yet. I just mix it with fat free milk and call it good. I was really surprised at how good it tastes.”

I’m looking forward to hearing from these guys throughout their journey. There is no doubt that these P90Xers will have the energy and enthusiasm to really bring smiles and joy to the people they meet every single day. Hopefully no fish will be flying through the walls! These entertainers are so much fun to watch. The fish they sell is nothing short of amazing! If you’ve never been there, put it down on your “must do” list. You can also order from them online too and have it shipped overnight and super fresh!

FOOD: Fuel or Instrument of Death?

I am a subscriber to Success Magazine and also to the blog done by the editor, Darren Hardy. In my mailbox today, he had a blog post titled, The No. 2 Instrument of Death.

We are in a crisis that IS WITHIN OUR CONTROL and it fills me with pride that we have a solution to offer people so they can take charge and reverse this trend. I’ll share those details below. Here is a snippet from Darren’s post.

SUCCESS magazine Blog » Darren Hardy

What do you think causes more deaths in the United States each year?

  • Car crashes
  • Drug overdoses
  • Alcoholism
  • Firearm accidents

All of those combined don’t total a third of this insidious instrument of death: food.

We are literally eating our way into the grave.

Obesity (caused by bad diet and lack of exercise) kills some 400,000 people in this country every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Only smoking-related diseases account for more deaths, with a total of 435,000 annually, the CDC reports.

A staggering 129.6 million Americans are overweight or obese—that’s two out of every three people in this country. Think about it. While our ancestors battled disease, famine and other deprivations, we are killing ourselves—with excess.

On top of that, we no longer have to chase down and kill our own food. Instead, we chase the world while sitting in front of a computer screen all day, every day, often neglecting to schedule in some form of physical activity.

It’s evident how true this is. The data from the Center for Disease Control is staggeringly unbelievable!

Now, I don’t want to get on a soapbox here, because I was one of those people who fell victim to the sedentary lifestyle and gorging on inadequate nutrition. Diabetes and obesity was obvious on the path I was heading. But I decided to take charge and just start taking control. It was not easy, but I did it and I now coach people for free to achieve the same. Putting themselves first and getting on a fitness plan and more importantly, getting the proper foods into their system so food works as fuel instead of an instrument of death. In my opinion, it’s the food and eating part that is the toughest when it comes to exercise and eating right.

SO, here’s a solution for you to get started and take control!

  1. Sign up with me to get my free coach here.
  2. Email me once you have completed the form
  • You and I will discuss your goals and fitness personality to choose a workout program that is ideal for you to start.
  • I will send you tips on getting for home, kitchen and time set up for success.
  • You will also learn how to eat right to get the most out of your program and fuel your body right without a lot of deprivation. I start my day with dessert! How’s that for starters? I’ll certainly highly recommend Shakeology because it tastes like dessert and is the healthiest meal of your day.
  • I will also tap you into a system of support that includes tools you can use for accountability as well as a community to help keep you motivated throughout your journey.

Ready to get started? Ready to take control? Ready to avoid being on the the statistics in the video below? Then join me for a ride to take control and use food as fuel and not an instrument of death. Let’s get you to living and feeling healthy!

I'm Ready!

Shakeology is an amazing value! See for yourself!

This past week I had about 10 people ask me “what is  Shakeology and why would I buy it?” Hmmm. All I could think of was… “It’s So GOOD for you,” but I’m not sure that was the answer they were looking for. I mean, that could be said for broccoli, blueberries, almonds, bananas, asparagus, etc…

So, I stuffed an apple in my mouth, shut up and showed them the web site. Here’s what they learned:

Shakeology can help you:

  1. Lose Weight
  2. Feel Energized
  3. Improve Digestion and Regularity
  4. Lower Cholesterol

Tastes delicious, too! That was a big eyeopener! Especially if you use the recipes. WOW!

Another funny thing was the look on their face when I showed them a receipt if a person tried to buy everything in it on their own. GULP!
This comparison and blog photos were done by my good friend, Blake Warrington.

$16 a day or a mere $4 a day (like a bagel and coffee many have!)
By the way… I know of a way you can get this for $3 a day plus free shipping! Contact me or sign up here!

Had to share my answer because more and more keep asking me WHY? and once they start Shakeology , they typically ask WHY DIDN’T I DO THIS SOONER?

Hmmm… good questions.

Live well!

Who do you know and love?

Many of you know I started my fitness journey back in April 2003. Since that life-changing 90 day experience with Power 90 I have worked hard to inspire people to take charge of their own health and fitness. I do my best to workout every day and model healthy habits (most of the time). I also reach out to thousands every month through my fitness podcasts.

I am challenging YOU to inspire someone to do the same. A new decade is approaching. Imagine being around those you love who can take on 2010 with renewed energy, life, passion and health! Really… do it now… IMAGINE IT.

OK, now think of at least two people you know and love who could benefit from the life-changing workout programs and products Team Beachbody has.

  • Turn them onto the free tools, contests and support TeamBeachbody has.
  • Ask them to join you for the next 90 days.
  • Have them become a free community member
  • Add that person as a buddy
  • Invite them to log into WOWY (the online super gym)
  • Keep in touch DAILY just for 90 days and note how people change more than just physically!

There’s a wide variety of workout program for any fitness personality. There’s even a FREE one that can played on the computer – a 25 minute where Tony Horton and Brian (Brian weighs in at 400+ pounds) demonstrate how a person who has a lot of weight to lose can get things moving and start to change their life!

There’s your challenge. Inspire two or more people to join you on your fitness journey. You can bet that 2010 will look very different!

It’s so impressive how people are making themselves a priority. Please keep being billboards of health and fitness and share with someone you know and love.
