What’s Needed To Do The P90X Workout

May 21, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey Leave a Comment

Probably the most frequently asked question about P90X.

What’s needed to do the P90X workouts, that does’nt come with the program?

P90X is one of the best selling in home workout videos for a reason. IT WORKS!! But something people like to know is what they need to get in order to do the workouts.

I will break down what you have to have and what is recomended.

What You Have To Have:

1.)Pull-Up Bar or a place to do Pull-Ups

P90X Chin up Bar

2.)A set of dummbells or a set of resistance bands

P90X Resistance Bands

That is it, but that is the bear minimum.

What Is Recomended (in addition to above items):

1.)Yoga mat

P90X Yoga/Plyo Mat

2.)Yoga Blocks

P0X Yoga Blocks

3.)Heart Rate Monitor

Heart Rate Monitor

4.)Push-Up Bars

P90X Push Up Bars

5.)P90X Results & Recovery Drink
P90X Recovery Drink

6.)P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars
P90X Bars

7.)P90X Peak Health Formula
P90X Formula

Now I know thats a lot of things, but I do suggest you have at least these four items:
1.)Pull up Bar
2.)Resistance Bands/Dumbbells
3.)Yoga Mat
4.)P90X Recovery Drink

You need these 4 items to get the most out of P90X. You will be doing a lot of pull ups in P90X so the pull up bar is a must (unless you have a way to do them). Every resistance workout with P90X show the workout done with resistance bands and dumbbells, so you can use one or the other here. You can get away without the yoga mat, however on the days you do Yoga X, Stretch X and Ab ripper X there is a lot of floor work, and if you do not have a well cusioned floor you miss not having one. Now, the Recovery Drink, to me it is one of the most important supplements to take while doing P90X. It is not there to bulk you up, it is to aid in muscle fatigue and soreness. After an intense weight training workout, your muscles are depleted of glycogen. The sugar in the recovery drink is immediately absorbed into the muscles to replenish those glycogen stores which your muscles need to rebuild and repair themselves after a hard weight training workout. Now, you can substitue another shake for the P90X Recovery Drink although I don’t suggest it. If you decide to go this route you want about 4:1 ratio shake.

Shakeology – What is it? Why You Need it

May 19, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey Leave a Comment

Beachbody has a Brand New nutritional drink- It’s called “Shakeology” deemed the Healthiest Meal of The Day.

So what is it? What is in It?

First Shakeology is like a protein shake with a lot more “healthy” ingredients invovled with it. It come in two flavors, chocolate and green berry. Beachbody did a 90 day study with participants drinking Shakeology once a day for 30 days. And here is what they said:

“I felt full and didn’t struggle with hunger.”
“I felt a better sustained energy throughout the day.”
“I have tons of energy. I feel so healthy!”
“I replaced all my vitamin supplements. I felt healthy and energized.”
“I was able to think more clearly and stay focused.”
“I have more energy, less cravings, more endurance, and feel more youthful.”
“Shakeology reduced my appetite and increased my energy so that I could accomplish more things throughout the day.”
“I have tried a lot of protein shakes and meal-replacement-type drinks, and Shakeology is the best tasting of them all. I mix it with a bit of soy milk and ice, and it tastes like an ice cream shake!”

Also Beachbody has a Doctor run this study and here is what he observed:

They reduced oxidative stress, a risk factor for degenerative diseases, by as much as 90%.
They lowered their total cholesterol levels by an average of 30% and their “bad” cholesterol levels by an average of 38%.
They reduced their cardiovascular risk factors by an average of 24%.

Yes, you read that correctly! “Lowered total cholesterol by an average of 30%”

Shakeology Nutrition

So how does this Shakeology work?

This daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Ok, so everything sounds good right? But what exactly is in this shake?

Even if you searched all over the world, you probably wouldn’t be able to find all of the 70-plus, ultra-high-quality ingredients we’ve included in Shakeology. Not only do you get a wide range of essential nutrients, from the fruits and vegetables you should be eating more of every day, you’ll also get the benefits of important foods from all around the world—foods that the latest scientific research has shown to be highly advantageous to your well-being.

Shakeology

More than 70 different ingredients were chosen from around the world for their potency and bioavailability (the ability to deliver the nutrients your body needs). Here are the key nutrient groups that these ingredients deliver:*

Protein and Essential Amino Acids to help build long, lean muscles and reduce food cravings
Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes, which aid in improving digestion, regularity, and nutrient absorption
Antioxidants and Phytonutrients to help counteract free radical damage that can lead to degenerative diseases
Vitamins and Minerals your body needs to function for
optimal health

So with all these great ingredients, what’s that do for me and my health?

Help build and repair muscles

Reduce hunger and food cravings

Help keep blood sugar steady

Support brain function to help promote alert thinking and reduce anxiety

Promote healthy skin, hair, and nails

Aid digestion

Help boost the immune system

Increase absorption of nutrients Help keep you “regular”

Get rid of harmful free radicals

Help decrease inflammation

Help boost your immune system

Potentially decrease the risk of degenerative diseases

May even increase longevity

So what can Shakeology do for me?

Shakeology can help you:

Lose Weight
Feel Energized
Improve Digestion and Regularity
Lower Cholesterol

Tastes Delicious, too!

I currently drink Chocolate Shakeology daily and can honestly say I “feel” the difference. There are hundreds of differnt recipes people are using to jazz up there Shakeology, but here is my favorite for the chocolate:

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology® powder
1 Tbsp. almond or peanut butter (or to taste)
1 banana
1 cup ice
8 oz. water

Man it taste GOOOOOOOOD! but you don’t have to take my word for it you can get you a FREE Team Beachbody Account and view the Shakeology Forums, where people are saying what they are getting out of Shakeology along with even more recipes, you can get your account here.

Shakeology will cost approximatly $4.00 per day. Which is a small fee for what you get! Here a video of what it could cost you.

Here is the Nutritional Labels:
Chocolate Shakeology
Green Berry Shakeology

Some people are even making Shakeology there business. As a Beachbody Coach you get 25% off the retail price of $119.85 per month. Even with the Team Beachbody Coach monthly fees, you will save approx. $15 per month to drink it yourself. So if you plan to add Shakelogy to your day, be sure and become a Team Beachbody Coach to get your savings. Be sure and email me if you have any questions.

Reasons NOT To Buy P90X on Ebay

May 18, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey 3 Comments

P90X You have probably seen the P90X infomercial or one of our many others on TV. You like many other people have come to eBay to look for a deal. Your probably wondering, “Why is P90X so cheap on eBay?” “Is it safe to buy?” I am going to tell you why you don’t want to buy from the wrong person.

#1. IF YOU SEE “No NUTRITION GUIDE,NO CALENDER, NO WORKOUT GUIDE STAY AWAY” Its just not cost effective for the pirates out there to copy the guides, but it’s easy to copy the DVD’s

#2. If listed on eBay and they have sold several in the past or have more than one listed something wrong most likely it’s a fake.

#3. If they have all their auctions set to private so you can’t see what they sold in the past something is wrong. Beachbody Coach’s use to be able to sell on eBay, but this was a long time ago and they can’t do it anymore! A few still try to break the rules by trying to hide their listings, but many of these are also fakes from China who try to hide there listing by making them private.

#4 They also list shorter versions of the title. Only listing P90 instead of P90X but are selling P90X. P90 is another program we sell. But if you see P90X under P90 stay away! You will also see this on Google adds if you see things like P-90-X or P 90 X with spaces or P_90_X Stay away these are mostly fakes from China.

#5. Many of the fakes I see are list between $65-$85 dollars.

#6. If you see download P90X for free this is also an Illegal download.

#7. If you see Nutrition Guide and Workout Book on PDF this is also a fake.

#8. Also lookout for people selling the books and DVDs separate. I have seen each sell for $75 or more why would you want to pay $150 for something you can get both for $119.85… With so many fakes out there the books, workout calendars, and nutrition guides, have become valuable by themselves. So they break them up to rip you off.

Please make sure you read the fine print in any eBay ad!

If you are serious about getting yourself in shape and working hard then P90X is for you. It is not some magic pill, it is the real deal. You can get P90X from Team Beachbody and have all the right tools to get you in the shape you always dreamed of.

Bulk Up and Build Mass With P90X

May 17, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey 3 Comments

I get a lot of questions about How To Bulk/Size Up with P90X. I have done some research and found the excert below from a the Beachbody Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards.

I do suggest you complete P90X Classic version before you try this method.

-Excert From Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards.

The difference between what you’ll do here and what Tony says is no pacing. Do each set to failure (if you can add enough resistance), and try not to exceed 10 reps. I would suggest beginning with a weight you can only do 6 or so reps with. As soon as you hit 10 with that weight, add more. Of course, you’ll probably need to lower the resistance of the course of each workout.

Do these reps SLOW and in control. Speed is for power, but not size. Focus on perfect form and only add weight when you can do each rep with great form.

When you’re done… you’re done. You don’t need to finish an entire workout if you’re struggling. Once you lose the ability to move the weight or do the move in strict form, stop the workout.

I’m starting using X only.

Keep in mind that your caloric burn is based more on resistance than total movement. There is not nearly as much cardio and your average heart rate will be much lower than during Classic X. If you eat the same amount you may gain more mass but you’ll also gain more body fat. This might or might not be acceptable. Monitor your calories as necessary. Just make sure that you eat enough.

I will finish this with a ‘get ripped’ phase for those of you who choose to eat more in favor of mass and want to lose some body fat.

Phase 1 – 3 weeks

1 – Chest, Shoulders, Tris
2 – Cardio X
3 – Legs & Back (with no back)
4 – X Stretch, or X Plus Core
5 – Back & Bis
6 – Yoga X

Transition Week

1 – Core Syn
2 – Yoga
3 – Plyo
4 – X Stretch
5 – Core Syn
6- Yoga

What It Means To Be A Team Beachbody Coach

May 17, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey 3 Comments

So what does it mean to be a Team Beachbody Coach?

Who can be a Team Beachbody Coach?

Why should you become a Team Beacbody Coach?

I started my experience with Team Beachbody on October 17th 2007. Like most I had seen the P90X infomerical and TV and I was intreagued by it. P90X was nothing like I had seen before in any in home workout program. So to make a long story short I ordered P90x. When I ordered P90X I was assigned a Team Beachbody Coach. So my understanding was that my coach was part of Team Beachbody community as a Fitness instructor or of some sort of personal trainer. So anytime while using P90X I had any questions or needed some motivation my Coach was there to help and support me. During this time I had ordered other great Beachbody programs such as Ten Minute Trainer and of course the P90X Recovery drink.

WHAT I DID NOT KNOW

…is that my coach was originally a Team Beachbody customer, just like me. He also had started with P90X, he was not a personal trainer or any of the sort. And every time I made an order my coach made a commision on that product. He never tried to sell me anything, Beachbody did all the news letters and ads and even customer support, but he made the commision. So I started to ask myself, why I was’nt a coach?

To become a Team Beachbody coach there is a Start up fee of only $39.95. Why is there a fee to become a coach? The startup fee is for your Business Kit which includes resources and training information. After that there is a $14.95 monthly fee (which starts after 30 days), which is for your website hosting and back office. In the backoffice there is tons of information, videos and pdf formated product material. Lastly you have to keep a personal volume of 50 points, which turns out to be around $50 per month. That’s It! I was sold…I was already spending $50+ per month on the P90X recovery Drink and other supplements. So it was a no-brainer for me.

When I became a Team Beachbody Coach, I started with no intention of even attempting to make money. My goal as a Coach was mearly to save money on the products I was already buying and to help anybody who had questions about there products, mainly P9oX. You see, as a Team Beachbody Coach you save 25% on every product they sell. I am in no way a sells man so selling was not something I was wanting to do, however Beachbody makes it so easy. I use P90X and have had great success with it. So without even trying a was pitching their product. I have has countless people come up to me and ask, “Have you lost weight…what are you doing?” Answer P90X! More times than not I would sell P90X to them. Once they become a Customer of mine, EVERY time they order a Beachbody product I get a 25% commision, Beachbody takes care of the shipping, tracking, emails and customer service. I’m there for personal support and motivation.So making money as a Team Beachbody Coach is pretty easy, and if you are like me and not really into selling products. You can be a Coach to simply save on the products you purchase. And even use the act of being a Team Beachbody Coach as your own Motivation to get fit and stay fit.

But what you DO as a Coach is far more rewarding, so here is all you need to be a Coach:

You need to “Push Play”! If you Talk the Talk, you need to Walk the Walk.

Become a Product of the Product

Your job is simply to respond to questions that your customers might have via email regarding Beachbody products, programs and provide them with support and encouragement.

Help your customers decide which dvd program they might want to try next or which supplement program they might want to try. You are paid commisions on any of those purchases.

Build, Support and encourage your own Team of Coaches

With that being said, don’t let the word “Coach” scare you. As a Coach you do not have to be:

Personal trainer, Fitness Model, Body builder, or a professional athelete.

You don’t have to have completed on of our workout programs

All you have to

have is the genuine desire to better yourself, get healthy and help other do the same. THAT’S IT!!! plain and simple

Every Team Beachbody Coach has a 30 day money back gurantee, so if you decide to become a Coach and realize it’s not for you, simply return it for you money back, no questions asked.

There are 8 different ways to make money as a Coach, I have only went over one way to make money, as this post was not to tell you how to make money but to enlighten those who were unsure of what a Coach does.

April 24, 2009 By Beachbody Coach Rob Humphrey Leave a Comment

Day 74 of 90
Legs & Back with Ab Ripper X

Wow, day 74 and Legs and back is still a killer workout. I was able to keep up with the gang today. Doing 25 reps of each exercise that they did. Don’t get me wrong my legs were squimish afterwards. I’m down to my last regular week starting Monday, I’m pumped up and ready to “Bring It”. BTW, the Recovery Drink was MONEY.

Take Care.
