P90X2 – Are you ready?

I just realized that I’ve been so caught up with Insanity and Asylum that I’ve completely neglected Tony and P90x. Well no more! It was just announced at the 2012 Beachbody Coach Summit this weekend that there is a release date coming soon!!! So with that thought, how about a cool little preview to get […]

What Did I just Eat? Oh boy

I finished reading the book “What Did I just Eat?” by doctors Paul Baker, Patrick Baker and Ryan Berlin. I highly highly recommend this book. It does a nice job piecing together all the nuggets of great nutrition advice I’ve been trying to gather the last two years PLUS more! It’s a thin book and […]

What did I just eat?

I have read a good number of books on nutrition since I’ve gone through my transformation. It’s amazing to me how health and fitness truly is a journey and not a destination….if I may borrow that phrase from Dr. Baker. So with that thought in mind, I just have to share a really down to earth, […]

Recipe: Avocado Tuna Salad (from INSANITY: THE ASYLUM™)

I have always loved getting into the nutrition guides of new programs like P90x and Insanity. I have always listened to the advice that nutrition is 50% of the success with these programs, and I couldn’t agree more.  So I’m thrilled yet again as I review the nutrition plan for Asylum and here is my […]

Never too old to get fit!

I just love this guys attitude! I’m not chasing youthfulness. I’m chasing health. People have been brainwashed to think that after you’re 65, you’re finished. We’re told that old age is a continuous state of decline, and that  we should stop working, slow down and prepare to die. I disagree. To me, a 65-year-old is young. I turn […]

Shakeology 3 day Cleanse

A common question I get about Shakeology is how to do the 3 day cleanse. Here is an excellent video on how to do it. I don’t recommend it while in a middle of an intense workout program like P90x or Insanity. But if you are coming off a vacation or getting ready to start a […]

How I kicked the Diet Coke addiction

Celebrating my one year anniversary from kicking Diet Coke out of my life!! Funny, I never thought I could end that relationship and then I just went cold turkey in one day. I think the major driving force has been the continued news reports not only about Aspartame but how even the innocent sounding “Carmel […]

Less stress, better sleep may help you lose weight

In fact, although diet and exercise are the usual prescription for dropping pounds, high stress and too little sleep (or too much of it) can hinder weight loss even when people are on a diet, the researchers report. “We found that people who got more than six but less than eight hours of sleep, and […]

Should I give protein shakes to my 8-year-old

After a longer workout (over one hour), a combination of carbohydrates and protein in a 4:1 ratio is recommended for recovery. I have to admit I thought this was going to be a stupid article with worthless advice. But I have to admit that Dr. Melina Jampolis did a great job responding to this question. […]

Virtual Fit Club Starts on Feb 28th

What a cool time we had this past weekend at the Shaun T Workout that Beachbody put together for Ohio coaches.  Shaun T not only kicked our butts, but he also spent some time before hand going over his background and reasons for getting into fitness and helping folks do the same. On the left […]
