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 nemesis moves so far? Well, each workout has it’s own set. So far:

X2 Core is: One Leg Med Ball Burpee (Alternate Every 3 Reps)

X2 Total Body: Mule Kick Burpee and Balance Kickback on Stability Ball

X2 Balance and Power: Russian Twist, Decline Sphinx Plank Press, Renegade Row 1⁄2 Lolasana, Crawly Crab Press

X2 Ab Ripper: Phelan Twists

I will get better!!

If you are wanting to conquer X2 yourself you can get it here!

Here’s my assessment so far after 2 weeks of P90X2:

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
  • Weights/Strength – Les Mills PUMP, P90X, P90X2, ChaLEAN Extreme
  • Advanced – P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Asylum, ChaLEAN Extreme, Slim Series, RevAbs, LesMills Pump
  • Perry’s Recommendations (these got me lean and ripped) – P90X, Insanity, Asylum, Les Mills Pump & P90X2

Bundle it with a Challenge Pack! Save $25-$45 and get free shipping! Each pack gives you an awesome fitness program, Shakeology Home Direct, 30-day Trial to Team Beachbody Club. So that means Fitness + Nutrition + Support Tools = Results Plus! I will be your coach every step of the way. My gift to you for putting yourself first! :)

Les Mills BodyPump Home Version – Les Mills Pump by Beachbody

December 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Les Mills Pump - Squats

Les Mills Pump - Squats

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 no shortage of variety. I just didn’t see where Les Mills Pump would fit in. Plus, I thought the equipment would take up way too much space (I was wrong there… see video below)

So, I had focused on getting ready to do P90X2 and let the idea of Pump go to the wayside. That is, until Beachbody announced that we could buy Pump before anyone else (a nice perk of being a member of Team Beachbody!). I decided to take a closer look at the details of Les Mills Pump, and actually got “pumped!” I love the fact that this program has you working out just 3 times a week a week and you can burn up to 1,000 calories per workout. It seemed like I could add this in while doing P90X2 without any problem. PLUS….Hillary and I could do it together!

When our box arrive inside it included a barbell that that can be disassembled into 2 pieces, and a set of 2 5-lb. and 2 10-lb. weighted plates. It also came with tools to help you succeed such as the fitness guide book and a nutrition guide book to get you super awesome results.

We dug right in with some of the longer workout DVDs (which range from 20 min to 55 min). We instantly loved it. We found the music to be super inspiring and made the workouts go by super fast. The exercises were very doable, yet effective. We felt the burn in our muscles and at times yelled at the trainers on the DVD! The workouts were very different than anything I had tried before. Typical strength workouts use heavy weights. Les Mills Pump uses low weights with high-repetition. This will help you get lean, strong, and sculpted (see videos below)!

After our first few workouts together, we thought, “Who would Les Mills Pump be right for?”

  • People of any weight, age, shape or size
  • Beginner, intermediate or advanced fitness levels – YES!!! :)
  • Men and women – YES!! :)
  • Athletes looking to strengthen all muscle groups for better performance
  • Anyone wanting a long, lean, chiseled and sexy body
  • Anyone looking for a HYBRID program with another Beachbody Home Fitness Program

I think this is a must have for anyone looking to lose weight and get lean. This may just be the fastest way to get in shape. With 6 to 7 trainers in each workout using an amazingly pumped up music variety, you’ll have the motivation to show up for each workout. You will have blast and work up a great sweat. Time flies with these workouts.

You combine this with the optimum nutrition in Shakeology and you will be unstoppable in getting results!

Another night perk for motivation, you will have me as your complimentary coach to connect with for more support! :)

Here’s are some videos of the exercises we did on our first two workouts along with an initial review!

Yoga is way too hard! Do I have to do it?

November 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
yogablock-matPYF

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. Am I crazy? Well, my body and mind don’t think so.

Here’s what I have discovered, personally, by incorporating yoga into my weekly routine. It’s not “fluffy” at all. It’s empowering. Seriously. While I am not at a point to totally shut my mind clutter off during the workout, I do find my mind has a chance to let stress fade,. I also get a sense of energy that floods my mind and body. it’s hard to explain. I just end up feeling grateful for all I have.

From a workout standpoint, I am certainly more flexible. But the biggest thing I noticed was that these workouts improved all my other workouts and level of fitness. I would have never thought that! I am able to have better form and posture when lifting weights, doing pushups, core work and more.

The sheer challenge of yoga is another mental and physical benefit. The need to focus one balance and calm, well timed breathing seems to have this camling of the soul effect. Another one of those hard to explain feelings until you have experienced it yourself.

Now I am sure there are way more benefits than I am listing here. These are just a few that come to mind. I am so, so glad I decided not to skip the yoga workout when I started my second round of P90X. I would not do it during my first round and even skipped over it back when I did Power 90. I am so looking forward to doing the P90X2 Yoga workout again soon! I loved it!

I guess that shows me one more lesson I learned. Yoga helps one learn to grow and step of of their comfort zone.

My recommendation: if you hate yoga and think yoga is too hard, then you owe it to yourself to work at it no matter what. You may just find it to get a special day named after it each week!

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.

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! :)

P90X2 pre-sale September 1st – free stuff. Results2 for you!

August 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment
p90x2coming-sept1-2011

All I know is that I am scared (and excited) again. It happens every time an extreme workout is being released because I question myself whether I’ll be able to do it. Will I keep up? Will it be too hard? What will it do to my body? I’m ready for Results2!

I was one of the first customers to do P90X when it was release in March of 2004. I had done Power 90 several times, but never knew I much my body could transform until P90X came out. The timing was perfect for that release too as I had just lost my wife three months prior, so pushing myself to the extreme was awesome! My P90X results even were featured in the very first P90X infomercial! What an honor.

P90X2 is coming this December and you can be one of the first customers like me to take your fitness to extreme2 heights! P90X2 is super charged, full of energy and new moves that will make you leaner, stronger, quicker and more powerful. You already assumed this, right?

P90X2 it bringing  modern day fitness science and top physical workouts together in one at home workout program. So, if you’ve graduated Power 90, P90X or any of the other flagship elite programs such as Insanity, Asylum, TurboFire, Chalean Extreme then this program will be for you.  Even CrossFit and TRX fans will love it!

Below is a a description of what is in P90X2.

Pre-order P90X2 so you can get free stuff!

You will need to be a Team Beachbody member (click here to create one) in order to pre-order on September 1 (so you’ll already be in an exclusive group of customers!). Pre-orders will get free Shipping and Handling and by ordering through the Team Beachbody site you will receive two free Tony Horton One on One series DVD’s that were created just for this program. Having me be your coach will be an additional bonus!  :)

P90X2 is made up of three phases, each focusing on a different aspect of fitness: Foundation, Strength, and Performance. A total body evolution will occur. You begin by improving your foundation, where instability plays a large role. Then you’ll build strength and, finally, power, which all translates to improved performance.

Once I saw all the equipment that you can use, it was nice to see that they include options ideal for traveling on the road, especially vacations! When you are home, here is a list of equipment:  Pull up bar, Dumbbells or bands, Medicine balls, Foam roller, Stability ball, Power stands, Yoga mat, a pull up assist band instead of using a chair. So, you probably already have a lot of this equipment!

P. A. P. TrainingPhase 1: Foundation–Move better, feel better and allow you to be less likely to get injured.  Trains your muscles be be more balanced by activating your stabilizing muscles and mobilization muscles at the same time to get you ready for the next phase.

Phase 2: Strength–Get stronger, wider range of motion, more supple and look good!  This phase you become more explosive and quicker by using balance and strength routines at the same time.

Phase 3: Performance– Jump higher, run faster and feel like a kid playin’ in the park!  Using what is called P.A.P. (Post-Activation Potentiation).  More weighted resistance exercise to load the muscles making you stronger.

A nutrition guide includes more options ranging from Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free – 27 Diet Guides in one to fuel your performance! Realizing that people don’t always have local natural food stores accessible, they created the plan to make it easier for the consumer.

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!

P90X got me to Push Play for life!

March 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Had I not pushed play back in April 2003 with Power 90, I would have never tried P90X. Pushing play had led to an abundance of health, fitness, life, finances and more! Check out my Power Blast Podcast Episode 210 here.

My wife is in love with Brett Hoebel, and I’m OK with that!

January 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Many of you husbands out there would be outraged if your wife was in love with another man. However, I am just fine with my wife, Hillary, being in love with the creator of the phenomenal workout program called Rev Abs. She sees him almost every day as she puts in the DVD and pushes play.

This is a 90 Day program using something called “Abcentrics.” It’s a training technique that works your abs from 6 different angles. The workouts are fun, challenging and get results. You are constantly firing your abs by engaging your abdominal muscles during every rep of every exercise. I guess that’s why results come so fast! Of course nutrition plays a big part of it too, so that’s why many see results in 90 Days. Good thing there’s an eating plan included with the program.

It’s fun to watch Hillary challenge herself with the moves. She is currently doing the advanced version of this program called Full Throttle. I have not tried them myself, but I can understand why the pause button gets pushed from time to time!

My experience with Rev abs was interesting. Since I have been working out for years, I thought the beginning workouts of Rev Abs would be too easy.  I was quickly humbled by the feedback from my core muscles! I did go thru the first phase or the program at a faster pace than what was outlined, and jumped right into the second phase. Loved it. After I finished, I was actually able to complete Ab Ripper X (from P90X) from start to finish and wanted more! Now that’s saying something!!

One highlight that Hillary and I have in our memory book is the fact that we got to workout live with Brett at a Beachbody event in May of 2010. The passion Brett has for helping people get healthy and fit emanated as he described the moves, their reason and how they were created. For me, I was just happy to have been familiar with the moves well enough so I could lunge low as Brett did one of his famed Brazilian swing kicks over my head.

If you’re looking for a fun, challenging and results-focused workout program, Rev Abs may be right up your alley. This is one effective trainer that gets results. Get it Here.

We instantly recognized his Brett’s silhouette on the TV show called The Biggest Loser, so we are pretty confident he will be helping those amazing contestant get amazing results like us!

Rev It High, Rev It Low. We’re Strong, Committed, and Ready To Go!
