Downsizing, Consolidating & Penny Pinching

I’ve been giving “downsizing,” “consolidating,” and “penny pinching” some thought lately. While many people have been recently forced into situations where this is necessary, I think I have been working at these the past few years. Saving money and time is huge! I started looking at those around me to find ideas. So far, I really like what many of us are doing!

When it comes to health and fitness, there is no compromise. None!

Gym memberships that rarely gets used saves big bucks. Plus, I found that I am in better shaped and condition than I ever got at a gym. Probably because I had a good plan and stayed consistent by working out at home with Beachbody DVDs.

Downsizing?? Well, since just about every Beachbody program requires so little space and equipment, it’s easy to have a home gym!

When it comes to eating, don’t give in to those bogus “meal deals” that fast food chains and restaurants lure us into with FREE meals or 2 for one! I mean... sure we save now, but at what cost later?? Really! Think about it! “We need to eat, so let’s eat garbage to save money.” Not a good way to behave.

One way I have seen many save on costs is using the BB Club or Coach discount (10-25%) on products. Those who have value the amazing feeling form that magical shake called Shakeology and given all that’s in there, it’s probably the most bang for the buck when it comes to the BB product catalog! :)

There are so many other perks too when it comes to this amazing company like the FREE tools, FREE online community of friends and FREE online gym and contests to win... yep... FREE MONEY!!

So, I think it’s amazing what all of us have discovered to downsize, consolidate, and penny pinch when it comes to our health and fitness. At least we have that part of our lives burning a little brighter!

Now we need to share with those we love so they can benefit!

One Year From Now - A Totally New Body

Often when I was in my 20s and 30s and getting fatter and fatter I had had visions of going away to a fat camp or fitness camp or some sort of retreat where I could live for a year and work hard to totally transform my body and my health. I often pictured the scene as people would barely recognize me and would ask lots of questions or statements like, "What's your secret?" "What Have you been doing" or "Man, you look awesome!"

Well, I never made it to that get away and years passed without any progress in the health arena. Guess what! I kept growing bigger and feeling weak, tired, lethargic, and crumpy. Yep. Me...Grumpy. I was edgy a lot of the time.

Well, as you know I discovered that infomercial that changed my life and didn't need to get away to change my body, health or life. Now I feel energized, happy and look pretty darn fit!

So, I was thinking. We are heading into a new decade. How can I help others with their own "getaway transformation camp" without leaving home?

Easy! Connect with me and let's formulate a plan for one year. I'll coach and motivate you for FREE!

We will break down the entire year into 3 month sections. I have a few tracks in mind. I know everyone has a different fitness personality, but I'll share one here.

Month 4-6 Chalene Extreme
Month 7-9 P90X
Month 10-11 Insanity
Month 12 - Whatever you want. You'll be a whole new person!

Yes! Insanity On Vacation

What do I have to prove with Shaun T's Insanity?

I Have to admit it. Since getting a teaser of what this Insanity workout is all about this past March I was not amped up about its release. So, as the year progressed and we got a teaser preview and all the hyp building around it, I still was not excited. I was afraid. I know this workout is not for everyone and will be VERY DEMANDING for anyone who gives it their best. I also know it takes a certain mindset to push through it. There are no modifications. All or nothing with this one.

So, I have the option of just watching from the sidelines while my friends tear themselves apart with this program. I mean, what do I have to provc? I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm 45 years old and heck, I'm not trying to make the Olympic team or the NFL for that matters.

Guess what. I bought it anyway. Call it impulse- In the moment- Gotta have the latest and greatest. Call it whatever. I bought it...within 30 minutes of it being announced!!

Once I clicked the "buy" button. I paced the house waiting and waiting for that darn UPS truck to get here. Everyone else was getting theirs! Where's mine??

It arrived. You know what I did. Nothing. I panicked. Yes I opened it and looked at the impressive packaging. That's it. Maybe I'll try a few of the workouts. Maybe I'll give it a shot next month.

Well, I heard an infomercial was done about Insanity. Someone posted it on YouTube. I watched all there segments last night.

Guess what! I'm starting today. I have everything to prove and it's all me baby! I'm going to see what I'm made of. 60 days... Make it Insane!

Who's with me? Will it be you? Please join me in proving it to ourselves. We can do it!

If you're fit and committed. Get Insanity here! There's even a Deluxe package here with extra workouts and Recovery Drink!

Shaun Ts Insanity - Hazardous to Your Health ?

Well, the the highly anticipated Shaun T workout called Insanity should be announce in Mid July assuming all planets have aligned. So, I have been gearing up for this mind-blowing workout series. Because I get the Tony Horton One - on - One DVDs that arrive at my mailbox once a month (subscription is only a 1¢ in the month of July), Beachbody throws in bonus DVDs from time to time. Last time we got a free Insanity workout! So, PT has been doing that one once or twice a week while doing the One on Ones.

After literally getting smacked upside the head this morning by Shaun T. it occurred to me that this video series could be dangerous to your health if certain precautions aren't taken. You see, you are going to need a lot of towels and rather absorbent clothing. As I worked out all I notices were pools of sweat collecting on the floor. Pretty rough on the footwork. Good thing I have hardwood flooring and grippy shoes!

So, while this upcoming series is going to no doubt whip me into better shape, I can see the dangers that lie ahead.

Care to live dangerously with me?? Let's get Insane!

Watch my Attempt at Insanity

So, I get this bonus DVD preview with my recent Tony Horton's One on One Disk. I decide to give it a try and it crushes me. Do I walk away all pouty like? NO! I decide to do it again at the end of the week and videotape the entire workout. Yeah, I have some work to do on form, but I am ready to go insane this summer.

You can view the video footage snippets in my latest Power Blast Podcast Episode 113 for Saturday, May 30. This is not an advanced plyo routine as Keith Harris has told me. It's going to turn the cardio interval workout upside down.

If you love marathons, spinning or any other heavy duty cardio routines, then you're going to love the challenge of Insanity coming out in mid June!

Get your free Preview of Insanity here just by subscribing to Tony Horton's One on One! Only subscribers can get the bonus Shaun T DVD.

Thanks Beachbody

This past April 13 marked 6 years since I started my journey to health and fitness. I actually started one year previously when I bought Power 90 of an infomercial at 4:30 in the morning. But I failed miserably as I tried to do the program on my own terms. So, the videos collected dust until I grew another jean size.

Fast forward to today, May 15, 2009 and I am BLOWN AWAY at what I have achieved using Beachbody workouts, supplements and online community support tools.

Last week Beachbody celebrated their 10th year Anniversary. So, I feel I discovered them in their infancy. My how this company has listened to the customer and developed amazing programs and products like Hip Hop Abs, Slim in Six, P90X, Turbo Jam, Yoga Booty Ballet, Chalean Extreme, Insanity and Shakeology. Each revolutionary in their own special way.

Two of the products mentioned above I have never done. Insanity hasn't yet hit the market and Yogo Booty Ballet just doesn't appeal to my inner Goddess. ;)

That being said, I want to thank all the amazing people at Beachbody and incredible trainers who have made it possible for me to walk with confidence and happiness. Now I am able to help others to adopt a health lifestyle through the Beachbody Coaching program. This lets someone like me earn a brilliant supplemental income without needing any special certification. All I gotta do is share my story. I proudly do.

Thanks Beachbody and Happy Anniversary!
