High Protein Foods

High Protein Foods A lot of times we hear from people we coach that they struggle getting enough protein to meet their fat shredder ratios of 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat as outlined in the P90X Nutrition Plan.  The fat shredder ratio along with a calorie deficit will accelerate...

New Year’s Resolu...

First of all I want to wish you all a wonderful New Year!  I wanted to talk about New Year resolutions.  Far too often I hear about people making New Year Resolutions, but don’t actually have a plan to make it happen!  If you do not have a plan you are setting yourself up for...

How Many Calories Shoul...

How Many Calories Should I Eat?   Quite often I hear the questions “How many calories should I eat?”  or “How do I know when to change my calorie intake and macro-nutrients?”  These are great questions!  Nutrition is 80% of your results with the program, so you have to...

It is not too late..YET

 A man going about his day to day routine started experiencing heartburn-like symptoms that were very painful.  He could not get it to settle so he went to the doctor.  While he was waiting in the doctor’s office, he fell dead.   Just like that… he was gone.   It...

What Motivates Me?

I am asked all the time what motivated me to get in shape and what motivates me to stay in shape.  The answer is quite simple.  I want and need good health so I feel good about myself, to inspire and motivate those I coach,  but mainly to make sure my health is top notch so I can be...

Starvation Mode

Some of you may have heard the term “Starvation Mode”.   There are a lot of misunderstandings as to what starvation mode is so this post is to help describe what starvation mode really is and how it can affect your weight loss results.  It will help you understand how to...

Dealing with Stress

Stress… we all deal with it from time to time.  Some have more stressful lives than others due to their profession or what is going on in their lives at the moment.  High stress can lead to high levels of cortisol which can affect our weight loss goals.  For those of you that...

As some of you know I have started Insanity The Asylum on May 1st. This program is a 30 day program geared towards sports performance.  My initial Insanity Asylum review so far:  One word describes The Asylum and that is OUCH!!! After a round of Power 90, a round of P90X and another...

Schedule Your Day!

One of the biggest reasons people don’t workout is because they say they don’t have time, but the reality is they just haven’t made the time.  You NEED to make exercise a priority and part of your routine.  Exercise and proper nutrition will keep you healthy, put you...

Extreme Health!

We are about to start a 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge on Facebook which means we can only eat off the top 2 tiers of Michi’s ladder.  I, however, am going to take it a step further and go caffeine,wheat, gluten, and yeast free and will be cutting my dairy down to only whey protein...

Passion

When you think about the most successful people you know or have seen… how do you think they got there?  In a previous post I talked about the key to success is failing (you can read that here), but what is the driving force behind pushing forward even when you fail?  It’s...

Healthy Snack Options

Okay, so we have to eat every 2-3 hours all day long.  How do we pull that off?  The 3 meals make sense, but what can we do for those 3 “snacks” that are quick, on-the-go fuel that will give our body what it needs to keep firing on all cylindars? I’ve found some good, healthy...

3 Day Cleanse

Have you heard about the “Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse”?  I saw several Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse Reviews and saw a lot of great reviews so I tried it out.  I did  a Shakeology 3 day cleanse cleanse after completing Power 90 and saw great results.  It is great to do the cleanse as a...

Key to Success: FAILING...

Failure.  We all hate it!  We hate to fail.  We much prefer success.  But guess what?  You can’t have success unless you make yourself vulnerable to failure.  Do you want success with your Power 90/ P90X / Insanity transformation?  You have to be willing to push yourself to the...

Measuring Body Fat

One of the most important tools in monitoring your progress is tracking the change in your body fat percentage.  Far too often we only look at the scale, but fixating on body weight is not necessarily the right thing to do.  When we start a rigorous workout program, we not only lose...

Do We Need Supplements?

Should you take supplements?  If so, which ones?  And why? I get asked all the time if supplements are needed to get great results with P90X or Insanity.  People are trying to guage whether or not they want to shell out the $$ for a supplement if it’s not really necessary.  ...

Tekoa’s BBL Journey

My 4-Week Brazil Butt Lift Journey (Week 1 Complete) One week down, 3 weeks to go!  After completing my first week of Brazil Butt Lift with great enthusiasm I started having horrible tooth pain.  To make a long story very short, it turns out I needed to have a wisdom tooth removed....

Push Up / Pull Up Tips

So many people are intimidated by P90X because of the pull ups.  It is not uncommon for people starting out to be unable to do even one pull up!  Some of you have gotten discouraged because you were unable to do a pull up or you were unable to do a push up with your knees off the...

P90X 1800 Calorie Fat S...

Below is our post for those of you who keep asking me exactly what we ate as we went through P90X.  I started with this plan to lose the last of my fat.  Tekoa remained on this plan throughout her round of P90X.  This plan follows the Phase 1 Fat Shredder Ratios For those of you who...

Photo Tips

One of the reasons you probably got to this site is because you saw my Power 90 and P90X photos (before and after) or videos floating around on the internet. I initially thought “nobody will ever see my “before” pictures”, but I took them anyway because the Power...

Fat Shredder Foods

Perhaps you are in the “Fat Shredder” phase of your workout program.  We followed the Fat Shredder ratios during Power 90 and into P90X, and believe me, if you will stick with it, you will be SHOCKED at how the body fat will melt away. For many (like myself), going into “Fat...

Beachbody Coaching̷...

Many of you are still in the first month or two of Round 1 of Power 90,P90X or Insanity, and focusing on the workouts and nutrition is your primary objective — as it should be!  However, I don’t want you to be so focused on the immediate goals that you miss a long-term...

Eating Out

Eating out totally blows our nutrition plan, right?  Well, often, YES!  But it doesn’t have to.  I occasionally eat out on a date night with Tekoa or eat out with friends.  So do I throw my nutrition tracking out the window and just let loose on these occasions?  No! I’ve worked...

Morning or Night?

“Should I workout in the morning or in the evening?”  This is a very common question and after some research I have determined it is mornings… and here is why.  The good news for morning people is that people who exercise in the morning gain more benefits than people who...

Timing Your Meals

One of the most important lessons we learned as we went through our transformations was the importance of properly timing our meals.  I now eat over 3,000 calories per day!  That’s enough to make almost anyone gain body fat, right?  Well, not if done properly.  We learned during...

Favorite Shakeology Rec...

Chris and Tekoa’s Shakeology Reviews We have been drinking Shakeology for about 5 months now and we are very pleased with how we feel.  If we miss a day of Shakeology we notice a difference as our stamina and energy is just not as good.  It is a great meal replacement shake that...

My P90X Must Have List

Coach Chris’s “Must Have” list for P90X I have put together a list of items that were, in my opinion, critical to maximizing my results with the P90X program.  I used each of them several times per week, if not every day.  I hope this list helps you weed through all of the...
