Is there a such thing as preventing obesity? In my opinion, there is only “One ” way to truly lose weight no matter where you start. If losing weight is what you need, then listen up. Most people that need to lose weight try to do so by trying to use a magic sprinkle in their food or take some magic pill. Are you kidding me?

You may or may not be obese today. Either way, we are all equal and the only difference is the decisions we make daily that separate us apart and determine where we end up. Guess what? It’s never too late or too early for preventing obesity and set yourself up to make a decision to make better choices today for a better tomorrow.

Someone once asked me, “What makes you think that if you’re too lazy to exercise, you can actually keep it off after you lose it?” It made me think. At that time, I was overweight and tipping the scales at almost 200 lbs at 5’7″. Not a good proportion especially when it wasn’t healthy weight. What he was trying to tell me was that it’s not about losing the weight, it’s about losing the mind of thinking that got me where I was. Overweight, prone to diseases, tired, depressed, you get the point. It’s all the things you get when you neglect preventing obesity.

Preventing Obesity is Crucial – What are The Consequences if you Don’t Make a Decision?

According to the National Weight Control Registry, 80% of those people who lose weight eventually gain it back. Only 20% actually keep it off for a period of longer than several months. What is the difference? Teaching yourself the right way of living in the process. That is, proper nutrition and eating habits, exercising to gain strength and burn calories, and have a team to support you, like me and my team of goal minded individuals committed to helping people make that change.

Preventing Obesity First With Realization

A person must learn how to properly take care of their bodies and change their eating habits in the process of losing weight. In addition, exercise is a must! An hour a day is recommended no matter if it is walking, running, or climbing mountains, or swimming. You need to do some sort of exercise to get yourself burning calories.

In preventing obesity, you can remember one thing that will make all the difference. Calories! The very thing that makes you gain weight. Most people eat more calories than they think and then never take the initiative to live an active lifestyle. Salads are one of the foods that can look healthy but contain over 700 calories in one serving. I was watching the show “Extreme Makeover” the weight loss edition a month ago and this lady was on there that was obese. With the help of Chris, the personal Trainer on that show, she lost over 170 pounds and went from obese at over 300 lbs, to losing over half her total weight and living a brand new life.

In this particular night of Extreme Makeover, they showed her eating habits and showed that she actually was sometimes eating up to 4,000 calories in one meal. That meal consisted of a cake, a salad containing over 1,000 calories itself, and some meats and carbs. It was disgusting but she had no idea what she was eating. On top of that, she was a couch potato and didn’t take the initiative to go out and burn calories through exercise. First step in preventing obesity is recognizing what got you there or what is currently getting you there.

Imagine taking in that many calories, and being a lazy bum. It is a recipe for death!

I am here to tell you that if you can change your eating habits and make exercise at least one hour a day part of your life, you too can have a brand new life. I know it’s easier said then done, but that is why I do what I do and help people for free as long as they register for a free account to link up to me in my network. It’s the easiest way for me to stay in constant contact.

I supply eating plans, exercise routines for all fitness levels and keep you accountable through our private support groups until you reach your goal.

You may be asking….do I really need that? Yes! I know because I went through my own journey in changing my life for the better and I can tell you that if it wasn’t for support and guidance of some fortunate people around me, that I might not have made it.

 

Simple Things To Try In Preventing Obesity

So, back to how to lose weight when you are obese. We went over how changing your eating habits and exercising are vital. So what are some other things that can help one make that change.

Here are a few things that you can do in preventing obesity:

  • Park in the rear of the parking lot and make that walk to the front door of the mall or grocery store. Stop being lazy!
  • Get your rear off the couch and go walking.
  • Stop watching that television. TV makes you lazy to get up and do the things you should be doing
  • When eating your meal, eat your favorite things on the plate first so you don’t have to be forced to get to it last when everything else is gone.
  • Stop looking for someone to do things for you. Get up and do it yourself.
  • Start believing that you were meant to be better and healthier.
  • Believe it is possible to be healthy and strong and live a longer life for you and your loved ones.
  • Realize the road that you are taking is a dead end road
  • Make your family part of your reason to change. They are the one’s that will suffer, not you, if something happens to you.
  • Know that most diseases that come with obesity can be avoided and/or healed if you act now.

Everything worth fighting for in life must come with a reason. That includes preventing obesity. If you don’t have a reason, how can you make a plan, without a plan, how can you hit your goals, and if you don’t hit your goals, how can you ever achieve your dreams? It all starts with setting an important “WHY”. Mine was to live longer for my family and get off the dead end road I was on. Guess what? I got off of it and you can too.

Why do you want to lose weight?

  • To live longer for your family
  • To qualify for your dream job
  • To be able to do more life things on a daily basis
  • To wear the clothes you really want to wear
  • To feel more confident in public or in pictures

Whatever your reason is, it’s worth it to make changes to your diet and daily activity. You need someone to take you from day 1 and show you the way. You also need to make a promise to the people who mean the most to you in life and let them know what you are doing. Keep them updated every week on your progress, let them know that you won’t let them down. If you find that your gym equipment is no longer serving your goals, consider selling gym equipment online.

Why do this? This will keep you accountable. You won’t want to let these people down. Yes, times will get tough and you will feel like quitting sometimes. This is when they will rally behind you and you will start to see people believing in you for the first time in years. Trust me, this is what happened to me and it kept me focused on my goals. Support was one thing that helped me most in my quest in preventing obesity for me.

My Recommended Steps to Preventing Obesity

Here are my 3 recommended steps that will get you on the right track to preventing further obesity.

1. Detox Your Body To prime it up for optimal nutrition and exercise

2. Strengthen your joints and mental focus by taking on a light exercise program. This will get your feet wet and get your body ready for the next level to burn fat.

3. Step it up and continue your fitness with a mix of higher intensity resistance and cardio training plus keeping the proper nutrition in place. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your exercise equipment, consider looking for cross trainer repair near me.

You will need continued support and a positive community of people around you to make it through. Listen to music and watch movies that will feed you strength and not garbage. Don’t listen to the negative comments around you because they just don’t want you to succeed and prove them wrong.

I love the saying that,”If everybody else ain’t paying the bills, then why should you care about what everybody else is saying?” Mind your own business and stay focused on what “YOU” want. Taking it one day at a time and conditioning yourself mentally and physically will set you free in your journey in preventing obesity.

Working Out Barefoot

When I started doing P90x last year, i was the kinda guy who just put on some shorts and put in the DVD. I’m not the type of guy who takes a long time to prepare to look good to do something I’m gonna sweat and look worked after doing. So I work out barefoot most of the time.

I know that working out barefoot is never recommended in gyms because of the use of heavy weights in the area and the liability issues that arise, but is it okay to do if you are working out at home with only minimal resistance bands and pull up bars are needed?

Listen to your body!

When I did martial arts, we used to warm up barefoot because shoes weren’t allowed on the mats. We did lateral movement warm ups for wrestling and also rolling warm ups like hip escapes, and sprawls to name a few. This experience has gotten me used to working out barefoot.

working out barefoot
Shoes were never allowed on the mats at the gym so working out Barefoot was obviously required.

However, one thing that does matter when I work out barefoot is that my calves get worked more than when I have shoes on. This happens to a lot of people I know. So when doing exercises like Insanity, I will actually where shoes due to the intense jumps and lateral movements involved. They are a little more intense than the average workout so I want to protect myself to the fullest and prevent injury.

When doing exercises involving the resistance bands in the P90X program, I will actually keep a pair of sandals close by for when I need to trap the bands under my foot for pulling. If you tried to trap resistance bands under bare feet, you will notice some pinching so that’s why I slip on a fast pair of sandals for that particular situation. Call it weird but everyone has their own preference and mine is being as loose as possible without jeopardizing results.

During my transformation video below, you can see that I wore shoes sometimes and sometimes worked out barefoot.

My point is is that you can workout barefoot for certain routines but sometimes you may need to where shoes for safety purposes and to prevent injury like I do with Insanity. Insanity’s lateral exercises are far more intense than a standard side to side so you want to make sure your ankle and everything are prepared for what’s to come.

So working out barefoot in my opinion is okay but there are times when preference and ignorance must be disciplined for lifetime fitness to endure in your life.

P90X by Tony Banawa

What I Learned Last Weekend In Las Vegas

As many of you know, I was attending an event this past weekend in Las Vegas called Coach Summit. It was for Beachbody Coaches that commit their lives to helping people live healthy and fulfilling lives.

If you didn’t already know, I actually live here in Las Vegas but had the opportunity to stay in the hotel, New York New York for the event with my brothers, and my other fellow coaches. Although we were there to learn, discover new programs that were coming out soon, and find out the newest flavor of the none other than Shakeology that was introduced on the 25th of June 2012, we also had the opportunity to bond as a team.
Coach Summit

Coach Summit went on for about 3 days, and I must say, Beachbody doesn’t hold back when it comes to entertaining and educating their coaches. They had all the pro trainers there such as Tony Horton(P90X), Shaun T(Insanity, Insanity Asylum), Les Mills Pump Trainers, Sagi Kalev(Body Beast) and more! Not only were they there to meet and mingle with but they also held their own private workouts, spoke about business, motivation, tips, and what’s to come.

On Saturday Morning, June 23rd, around 6 a.m., there were 5,000 coaches that packed the streets of Las Vegas around Tropicana Hotel and Casino to workout with all the trainers for 20 minutes per trainer. This was called the “Super Workout”! Each of them led us into a variety of exercises that complimented their style. By the end, I couldn’t imagine feeling better around so many people at one time that shared the same vision of being healthy, getting fit, and helping the world do the same. Who goes out in Las Vegas in the summer time at 6a.m. and just works out? This guy! Click here https://www.slotsformoney.com, for information on casino games.

Beachbody also had gatherings to cap off the days where you could snack on appetizers and sip on some cocktails by the pool at the MGM Grand. It was held at the MGM’s Wet Republic pool area. They had human mermaids in the pool, a live DJ, dancing, and a lot of people meeting each other for the first time beyond their Facebook profiles. As a Beachbody coach, you have many people on your team that live in other parts of the nation and it was nice to finally see someone in person and experience their real personalities.

Beachbody’s 5 Year Birthday Bash at Wet Republic

 

For me, the highlights were getting the scoop on all our new things happening such as this:

Seeing Apolo Ohno as part of approving and helping Beachbody come up with the best programs today just inspires me. To me, if credible pro athletes are behind the programs that a company is putting out, I want a piece of that!

But I can honestly say that even though it was for 3 days only, I really missed my wife and kids. I can’t spend that much time away from them like that or I get a little weak and quiet after some time. My family empowers me I guess you can say.

Don’t Buy The New Chocolate Vegan Shakeology, Yet!!!

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com. I know you are busy, but take a moment and sign up for a FREE BEACHBODY MEMBERSHIP for support on demand, motivation like no other, and a social fitness community to keep you on track to your fitness goals![/box]
Until you have read this….Is the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology just like the Tropical Strawberry Vegan flavor? I’ll be honest with you that when the Tropical Strawberry vegan Shakeology first came out several months ago, I was so excited. I ordered my first monthly supply of the flavor and I was less than 100% pleased because it had a powder taste that took getting used to.

Do I Recommend Chocolate Vegan Shakeology?

Now, if I was to recommend the tropical flavor, I would say that it taste best by itself, without adding anything to it such as juices, extra fruit, ect. I can honestly say that after months of taking this flavor, I am good with it, but not as favorable for me as my ultimate flavor, Chocolate.

Now, Beachbody has come out with a new flavor, Chocolate “Vegan” Shakeology. I had the opportunity to try it this past weekend in Las Vegas as they introduced the new flavor. I was a little hesitant because of the fact of my initial experience with the previous vegan flavor. I didn’t want to ruin my love for my already chocolate addiction to the existing chocolate(not the vegan one) shakeology.

chocolate vegan shakeology
Introducing Chocolate Vegan Shakeology For The First Time

So I tried the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology to give it a true taste test and see if it was something that I would recommend to my coaches, customers, family, and friends.

I must say that it was amazing!

It is smooth and actually has a dark chocolate like kick to it. If you don’t like dark chocolate, than the best thing to do would be to order it and if you don’t like it, return it for a full refund within the first 30 days no matter how much is gone from the bag.

How Did Chocolate Vegan Shakeology Taste For Me?

When I tried it, I tried it with all natural peanut butter and a banana. It was amazing because that is what I currently take my regular chocolate shakeology with. This was just as good but with a slightly different chocolate flavor, hint of dark chocolate.

So if you are thinking about giving Chocolate Vegan Shakeology a try…..take it from me. You won’t like all the flavors, but that is why it comes with a “Bottom of the Bag Guarantee”. Meaning you can consume the whole bag and still return it for a full refund minus S&H if you decide it isn’t for you.

Chocolate Vegan Shakeology is formulated differently than all the others as so are all the others. Not one flavor is formulated the same. However, they all come with all the benefits such as the prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids, all natural ingredients, vitamins, and more!

Benefits Of Chocolate Vegan Shakeology

On top of all that, taking one or 2 shakeology servings a day will allow you to lose weight, increase your energy levels, help your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and more. Chocolate Vegan Shakeology will be no different for these benefits.

I don’t expect you to take it from me and believe everything I say, cause who does that? You need to see for yourself and get what is best for your body. I can only give you my opinion and help you in making your educated decision on the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology.

So You Think You Can Be A Tough Mudder?

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com. I know you are busy, but take a moment and sign up for a FREE BEACHBODY MEMBERSHIP for support on demand, motivation like no other, and a social fitness community to keep you on track to your fitness goals![/box]

Tough Mudder, also known as the “Toughest Event On The Planet” is a more than a race in the various terrains, but also a mind test.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to participate in this challenging obstacle, perhaps it’s because you haven’t heard about it, don’t think you can handle it, or purely just have no interest in putting yourself through this 10-12 mile obstacle race designed by British Special Forces.

Before you judge the Tough Mudder, it’s important to know the facts. As stated on their website itself, here they are:

  • Fact Number 1: Marathon Running Is Boring
  • Fact Number 2: Mudders Don’t Take Themselves Too Seriously
  • Fact Number 3: You Cannot Take A Tough Mudder Course Alone

(Check out our Team Dynasty at Tough Mudder Tampa, FL)

Yes, it is a length to think about at first. Running 10 to 12 miles isn’t an easy thing to finish, let alone given that you have to climb 12 foot walls, run through 10,000 volts of electricity and crawl through mud under some barb wire just to name a few. But let’s forget what the main core of Tough Mudder was designed for team work even when fatigue sets in.

Leaving no team mate behind is what Tough Mudder stressed very clearly and you must help your fellow soldier to make it through to the end. No matter if you are tired yourself, you must find a way to carry your struggling team members with you. Tough Mudder encourages you to show team work and camaraderie both on and off the course.

To make sure that everyone is in the right state of mind for the race, participants are required to recite the Tough Mudder Pledge before starting.

Tough Mudder Pledge
It's a requirement to recite the Tough Mudder pledge before you start

So this is not for someone who just has the interest of running for a half marathon straight. It’s for a person willing to test their all around ability, strength, endurance, and mental capacity. Unlike the long distance running I did growing up, Tough Mudder will leave you wet, muddy all around, &  accomplished as a team.

Recommended Equipment Needed For Tough Mudder

To make the best out of your Tough Mudder experience, there are some things that you may want to consider taking with you.

  • Energy Gel Pack every 3 miles
  • Small 50oz Camelbak to hydrate with a sports drink
  • Light full finger gloves if you have sensitive hands
  • Dry Fit material clothing
  • No Cotton wear
  • Compression shorts and shirt under your race attire to prevent mud entering certain places if you know what I mean
  • Waterproof camera like the GoPro Hero2 Outdoor Edition for proof of your race and video making for memorable experience that lasts a lifetime

On the other hand, it’s recommended to leave all your jewelery at home or in the car to prevent losing your valuables.

Staying Hydrated Through Tough Mudder

Tough Mudder Team Dynasty
Tough Mudder Will Test Your All Around Abilities

They have water stations approximately every 3 miles to keep you hydrated and sane. There are also times when they will have bananas as well to replenish some calories and carbs for energy. You can bring a waist pack or as some call it a fanny pack around your waist to carry some protein bars and such with you.

There are times during the race where you will probably start cramping up so you will want to keep your body fed with the right ingredients to help prevent this setback. This is where the GoBelt, or fanny pack will come in need so you can take things with you.

Who Shouldn’t Do Tough Mudder

This endurance race is for all fitness levels. Wait! But you said…… Yes, the reason I say it is for all fitness levels is because you can take all day to complete the course and do it for fun and not for time. You will be racing with beginners to elite athletes but the only difference is how you choose to run the race. This is where athletic levels are determined. So if you want to just stroll all day and take your time, by all means, you can.

However, if you are the type who doesn’t like to get dirty, doesn’t like to have fun, and enjoy the success of you and others, then it’s probably best for you to stay home. Tough Mudder is for having fun, testing your all around abilities, but more than anything, camaraderie.

Tough Mudder will actually make it fun by meeting you at the finish line with a celebration of live music, a beer if you desire to cheers with your mates afterwards, and many team laughs and much video taping and photos to brag to your friends about accomplishing this major feat.

Where To Buy P90X? Tips & Tricks That Really Work!

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com. I know you are busy, but take a moment and sign up for a FREE BEACHBODY MEMBERSHIP for support on demand, motivation like no other, and a social fitness community to keep you on track to your fitness goals![/box]
So you already made your decision but still wondering where to buy P90X. Actually, you have two options to choose from: buy it from trusted websites or fall into the traps of wicked scammers. Apparently, this article doesn’t want you to end up getting rip-offs but to give you the best go-to sites for top notch P90X products.

I know you want to get the best value for your hard-earned money so as early as now, better take note of this one rule of thumb:

“If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.”

There’s no other way to buy P90X aside from the right way. Kick all those scams. Enough is enough.
But, honestly, where will you go from here? Well, fret no more because I’m giving you some tips and tricks on where to buy P90X and get the best deals in town.

 

Where to buy P90X? Option 1: Beachbody Website Or Their Independent Coaches

Back in 2004, the world of infomercials welcomed a fresh, innovative and intense at-home workout program called P90X. A brainchild of Beachbody and professional trainer Tony Horton, P90X was presented in a documentary style infomercial. The rest, as they say, is history.

P90X is no joke. It requires a full 90 days of intense workouts and 3-phase nutrition program to boot. To ensure one’s success, useful tools need to be purchased. And because Beachbody is the name behind P90X, it goes without saying that their website alone can give you the best buying experience out there.

If you’re going to purchase it from the Beachbody website, being that I am an authorized retailer for beachbody, you can just click on the link above and it’s simple as that.

Beachbody is rated A+ by Better Business Bureau so it’s safe to assume that all their clients are being treated with the best customer service. One proof is the 90-day money back guarantee being offered to all P90X buyers. This means that once a customer is not satisfied with P90X after 90 days, he/she is free to send it back to Beachbody, get a refund and have an option to keep Abs Ripper X and nutrition guide as desired.

where to buy p90x
The best place where to buy p90x is from the official Beachbody Site itself or an independent Beachbody Coach - This is the only way to get all the perks such as access to pro trainers, chat rooms, workout buddies, support network, 100% money back guarantees, and more

If you prefer to get P90X directly from a certified Beachbody coach like myself, there’s absolutely no harm in doing that. Not only it is legal but you can also receive an online source of support and motivation from these coaches and the rest of the people that have already purchased. I have online private groups that I connect all my customers to so we can stay connected from start to finish in your journey to get fit. In addition, you don’t have to worry about hiring personal trainers or nutritionists as Beachbody provides all you need to know through your online account for easy access on demand 24/7.

Coaches usually get 25% discount on all Beachbody products but you can also enjoy a 10% discount if you join as a Beachbody club member. The club runs about $38.87 billed every 3 months. Along with the club, you get access to all the pro trainers and the meal planner. You’ll never have to hire a nutritionist ever in your life with this. By the way, good nutritionists charge about $100 an hour, or about $4800 per year. $38.87 isn’t looking so bad now huh?

As part of the P90X package, you will receive a total of 12 workout DVDs which you can use according to your schedule which is either lean, classic or doubles. In addition to that, Beachbody will also give you an overview on how to include essential P90X equipment like resistance bands and pull-up bars in the package to save extra bucks.

Other items crucial to P90X success include the 3-phase nutrition guide, P90X calendar and free online support from the peer network and fitness trainers including Tony Horton himself. This is all included when you purchase your programs and nutrition through an authorized Beachbody retailer.

 

Where to buy P90X? Option 2: Amazon.com

Amazon is one of the most trusted online market places today so it’s no wonder that new and second-hand P90X items can also be bought from this website.

amazon p90x
Knowing where to buy p90x is important. Buying from Amazon can be trusted but doesn't come with all the guarantees and perks that you get directly from the Beachbody Site or it's Independent Coaches

However, that doesn’t mean Amazon is totally risk-free. If you deal with a seller with very low feedback score, chances are, it’s either you won’t get some of the bonus items or you will only get worn-out P90X products totally different from what was originally displayed in the seller’s profile.

For this reason, it is crucial to review the seller’s past feedbacks, the specific product description and the present condition of the items before making a deal.

Amazon offers two choices: brand new P90X products including all the bonus items (cost $139.80 with free shipping) or second-hand P90X items which can be purchased for $100 or lower.

Always remember that Amazon has different return policies and doesn’t offer the same quality customer support as Beachbody so before navigating its pages, never forget to weigh the pros and cons.

One last thing is that you also don’t get all the perks that Beachbody offers when buying from Amazon such as the support network, chat rooms, message boards for all your questions, meal planner, lifetime discounts, personal free coach on demand, and much more.

 

Where to buy P90X? Say NO to P90X scams!

where to buy p90x
Where should you buy p90x? These two are great Companies but some of their users have abused their priviledges and offer illegal material.

Scams are almost everywhere so if you’re thinking where to buy P90X, better stay away from websites like Craigslist and eBay. These two sites are great successful companies but it is certain users that have given these companies a bad name when it somes to certain products. Some of their users have been notorious for offering P90X rip-offs so don’t be carried away with their humongous discounts and use your common sense instead. Not to mention that most of the unoriginal copies are incomplete. That results in frustration in the middle of your workouts and money thrown out the window cause your going to end up having to buy an original anyways if you want the real deal.

Again, “If it’s too good to be true, then probably it is.” It’s illegal to purchase burned copies or any unoriginal material. In my experience, those who have gone the illegal way in the past have usually never finished the program and never gotten the results they wanted. Why? Because you are going to put in as much effort as your investment into the program. Nothing.

If you’re dealing with an illegitimate site or an overseas seller, cut the transaction right off the bat. Save yourself from disappointment and humiliation by choosing the go-to sites I’m recommending to you. This way you are guaranteed the 100% money back satisfaction guarantee with all the amenities that come with purchasing the program legally. It’s like getting a brand new camera versus a stolen one. There is always something you’ll be missing from the original. Warranties, usb chords, chargers, ect. Just get it right, especially when you are investing in your physical well being.

So, now I’ve given you the best places on where to buy P90X. Don’t sell yourself short and end up as a scam victim of piracy. Trust me, it can happen to you. Get it from the true source that brings you the complete package and get results, get it right the first time, invest properly into your health and you will come out on top.

A Straight Up P90X Blog That Tells

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com.

Whether it’s in a P90X blog or in front of my own Beachbody team, I just can’t resist talking about P90X and how it pushed my life to make a complete U-turn.

I know what you’re thinking but I’m not just another Beachbody guy coaxing people to buy this product and blah, blah, blah. My goal is clear… and that is to bring Beachbody’s message of “helping people achieve their goals, and living healthy and fulfilling lives” into a complete reality.

So how am I supposed to do that?

Well, with our team now helping transform the health of over 1,600 individuals  in less than 2 years, you might think that my life is already a success story in the making. But as we all know, obesity is an immortal monster that continues to plague America and the whole world with tons of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart attack. For this reason, it’s now a necessity for me to expand my network and reach out to more people.

This P90X blog is now serving that purpose. With thousands of views monthly and reaching people from all over the world 24 hours a day, it is an avenue for me to share my personal experiences with P90X and multiple other programs and products through Beachbody in hopes that I can help those who are willing to make a healthier life for themselves. Why, because these products worked for me and countless others I know personally and I know they can do the same for you if you have the right reasons.

Now, for all of you who are still wondering how I was able to overcome insurmountable odds and beat the out of shape immovable person out of me, this P90X blog will do all the telling.

 

Let My P90X Blog Explain: What is P90X?

If the name Tony Horton rings a bell to you, then you probably know that he’s the fitness master behind P90X, one of Beachbody’s most intense at-home exercise programs. It is a full 90-day program put together for a full body transformation through a combination of intense workouts and a specific nutrition plan to compliment what your body will need throughout the journey .

With P90X, you don’t have to worry about the possibilities of getting bored. This is because you will be continuously introduced

to different workouts with varying difficulty so as to help your body avoid the notorious “workout plateau”. From weight training and yoga to stretching and cardio workouts, P90X won’t run out of moves that will surely put your flexibility, strength and endurance to test.

If you have a clear goal in mind as to where you want your body to be, then with a proven workout program like P90X, you will surely reach what you desire as long as your reason is strong enough to achieve. For example, my goal was to get in better shape and get rid of my round figure by toning up with lean muscle. Weight loss wasn’t the main target of mine because I knew that if I took care of my muscle tone that I would reach a reasonable weight that matched my physique. I was right!

From 186lbs to 163 in 90 days, I can surely say that I am happier, definitely healthier, and confident. I didn’t starve myself, or cut down on carbs. As a matter of fact, I ate more often and increased my carbs like the P90X nutrition plan shows you to. The carbs gave my body the energy I needed to get through my intense workout days.

What I love about P90X is the fact that you can totally transform your body with minimal equipment and no need for gym memberships if that avenue is too expensive or not your type of scene. All you need to do is get the P90X DVDs, which include the fitness guide and nutritional plan. In addition resistance bands or minimal select weights that fit your strength range is required

I did my entire first round of P90X with a set of 10’s, 15’s. and 20lb dumbbells in addition to resistance bands and that got it done for me. I would recommend the Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells if you are wanting to use weights instead of resistance bands. I got these recently and I love them. Now that I ‘m in the position that my body demands more weights, the Select Tech Dumbbells really make it easy for me to switch weights with a click in between short sets.

 

P90X Blog: How P90X changed my life…for good

Just like any other transformation story, I started out a little rough. I was full of doubts and too lazy to change my old ways. As a matter of fact, my family first tried P90X before me and as I saw them reap healthy rewards in the process, I also started to feel bad about myself.

Then it suddenly dawned on me: If I don’t stop procrastinating and dawdling around, I’d be putting my own health and family in great peril. So I used that as a wake-up call and started to change myself. I was so afraid that it might not work out, but thanks to Beachbody and the support network that purchasing the programs come with, I was able to have guidance and motivation all the way through from start to finish.

I was able to link up with accountability partners, learn from other P90X blogs, invite buddies on the team Beachbody site to workout with me online, and I had the opportunity to eventually meet Tony Horton in L.A. What an outstanding guy he is!

As I said earlier, I was able to shed off a total of 23 lbs by the end of my first P90X attempt and that was one year ago so you can just imagine how my health and body have become better since then. P90X is not only a workout program, but it also teaches you how to eat healthier as well as importance of the specifics of fitness like stretching, warming up, and cooling down. Something most people often overlook.

This is mostly important so not only can you transform your body, but maintain it as well.

So what’s my point of having a P90X blog? Simple… To let you know that you don’t need to be perfect to achieve your fitness goals. Provide free tips and advice that can help you get max results.

If you are a stay at home parent or full time single working parent, you don’t have to find a way to get your workouts in because you can do it at home with the kids. All it takes is the P90X program that will give you a personal trainer and workout program at home for life, commitment, and an emotional goal that is far stronger than quitting when things get tough.

Why Are Fast Food Restaurants So Popular?

Ever wonder why the world is getting bigger? There are many reasons in my opinion and one of them is because unhealthy food is fast, convenient, addicting at times, and it is on every corner wherever you go. Fast food restaurants have a slick way of marketing to kids and adults to get them in to try out a delicious meal…..so they advertise it as so.

 

Portions Live On | Fast Food Nutrition Facts

Portions are getting bigger and food items are decreasing in nutrients because of so many of the GMO(Genetically modified) techniques today. People are more concerned about the mass production, they are willing to sacrifice quality and health for profit. Isn’t there a way we can get the best of both worlds? If so, it doesn’t look like anytime soon.

 

Take Action By Knowing The Nutrition Facts of Fast Food

The first step to steer away from all this convenience is to educate yourself as to what you are putting inside of your body and the side effects as well as short and long term consequences. Diseases, and many preventable ones I should say are in the hands of you knowing what you are buying.

Here is an article I came across on Stumbleupon that will let you in on some of the facts of the food the society eats on the go. You can also download an app called the Calorie Counter by FatSecret. This will give you a wake up call by knowing things you probably didn’t know that was making it’s way into your body.

Don’t Be A Victim Of The Fast Food Craze

I am not saying to never eat fast food. But let’s be honest, it doesn’t do much justice if you are wanting to transform your health. Knowing about fast food nutrition facts is the first step in reducing your outings on the go and preparing your meals ahead of time.

How To Choose The Right Beachbody Fitness Program

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com. I know you are busy, but take a moment and sign up for a FREE BEACHBODY MEMBERSHIP for support on demand, motivation like no other, and a social fitness community to keep you on track to your fitness goals![/box]
Before we go off and guide you on how to choose the right Beachbody fitness program for you, we must know that you are in ready mode to step up.

You’re now at that point where you’re ready to make a real life transformation. You realize there is room for improvement in both your health and physical state of being. You realize that this journey is going to require some mental conditioning and going beyond your limits if you are ever going to see your new body.

Not only do you pass all the above requirements, but you also are ready to go hard and stronger when things get tough or when life gets hard. Job and friends will try to get in the way, but you must commit to your priorities and know that your health for the next 60-90 days will come first than going out with your friends, watching a sporting event, going to see a movie, and all that extra curricular activities that could stop someone from reaching their goals.

I am not saying you need to give up your life. Absolutely not!! However, you must know your priorities and if you ever have to choose between two things to get done on any given day, you better take your health as serious as your job.

Am I being a little stern? Yes! Cause all the procrastinating and things people do won’t get them anywhere, and then they complain that life doesn’t go their way when things get tough. Remember this…….you attract in your life what you bring into your life. If you condition that space around your brain to live by your priorities in life, you will see things start to go your way more often than not.

To choosing the right Beachbody fitness program……..

After weeks, months, maybe years, it suddenly dawned on you:  Though you’re in the right mood to start an intense program, you’re yet to decide which among the equally challenging Beachbody fitness programs will perfectly suit your needs. From P90X, P90X Plus, Insanity and 10 Minute Trainer to Slim in 6, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire and Hip Hop Abs, Les Mills Pump, the list of effective Beachbody fitness programs is almost endless. Hence, a foolproof guide is indispensable at this point.

So how should you choose the right Beachbody fitness program? Although people differ in both body type and fitness goal, there are three universal rules to help you choose a fitness program like a pro. Read on to find out.

 

Set Your Beachbody Fitness Goals Beforehand.

Every journey should start with a question and fishing for the best Beachbody fitness program is no exception.
You can start by establishing and writing down your fitness goals. Our team refers to this as your “WHY”. Do you want to lean out, bulk up, trim down fats or get an evenly toned body?

Are you more of a cardio guy or finds unusual excitement in weight training or resistance exercises? Are you coming off a long drought from exercise and need a light method to get your joints and body in order, prepped up for the more intense exercises first? Whatever your fitness goal is, I’m pretty sure that there is a Beachbody fitness program that can suit you. P90X, for example, can help you get a toned body and build muscles which you’ll have a harder time achieving if you choose the cardio-rich Insanity. Now, if you find more fulfillment doing cardio exercises, then Insanity is the best choice for you. It offers more intense cardio workouts that you can also combine with P90X resistance training to create a very challenging hybrid.

Tai Cheng is our newest program but proven to strengthen your joints and get your body ready for the more intense workouts like Power 90, Les Mills Pump, Turbo Jam, and more. Regardless if you end up with a hybrid or not, what matters most is you know what your goals are and will be able to stick to it during the entire course of the program.

(Ask me to help you find the right program for your goals)

 

Choose Challenging Beachbody Fitness Programs To Achieve Greater Results.

When I say “challenging”, what I mean is you should choose a workout program that will help in bringing out the best in you. Of course, if you are a beginner and just about to transition from a couch-potato lifestyle, it is recommended that you select exercises routines that are intended for the so-called Beachbody “virgins”. If you have been exposed to some intense workouts, it goes without saying that advanced levels can be quite tolerable for you.

You can also infuse your fitness goals in choosing challenging Beachbody fitness programs. For example, if you want to burn fats quickly, some of the best choices include Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs and Yoga Booty Ballet. On the other hand, P90X tops every list when you’re looking for the most challenging resistance training that will ultimately transform your body from zero to hero in 90 days. Lastly, Slim in 6 provides the best balance in many peoples opinions of body conditioning workouts among the Beachbody fitness programs.

Leverage Forums And Message Boards To Choose The Best Beachbody Fitness Program

If you can learn from your own experience, then you can definitely do the same thing on other people’s blunders.
Of course, there are a lot of people who have gone through the same path that you are trudging now and mistakenly chose the wrong Beachbody fitness program for them. There are also those who ended up victorious and got a life-changing experience worthy of a Beachbody infomercial.

Either way, you can learn a whole bunch of tips and tricks from these people by simply registering for a free Beachbody account so you can have access to over 600,000 people that are in the process of transforming their bodies and helping others do the same by giving tips, advice, and more to you for free.

Choosing the best Beachbody fitness program might seem like a daunting task at first but if you persevere and search smartly, the best Beachbody fitness program perfect for you might just be one click away.

What P90X Equipment Is Needed For Max Results?

[box type=”note”]I appreciate you stopping by and sharing the day here at GetFitToLive.com. I know you are busy, but take a moment and sign up for a FREE BEACHBODY MEMBERSHIP for support on demand, motivation like no other, and a social fitness community to keep you on track to your fitness goals![/box]
P90X equipment is imperative if optimum P90X results are desired.
I personally was hesitant when I learned that there were required add-ons to this program: equipment that can cost you a few bucks to begin with. Remember, I was a financially struggling father of a family of 5 and so every penny counted.  At the end of the day, I knew that my health was a priority so I went ahead and sold a few things a round my house to get it done. Priorities my friend!

By the way, with the P90X equipment needed, it’s still way cheaper than buying a home gym or registering for an annual membership at the gym. With P90X, you have a gym for a lifetime included in the one time price. They say the P90X equipment is optional but it goes without saying that P90X won’t be complete without these essential items. In the end, I finally decided to get all the required P90X equipment.

And guess what I got afterwards? Spot-on P90X results that clearly brought out the best in me. So is it really important to have P90X equipment ready before starting the program itself? Based on my experience, YES, it is. However, P90X and it’s minimal equipment will amount to nothing if you lack the determination and motivation to push forward in the program. Believe me when I say that P90X is not just all about having a complete set of equipment – it’s also about YOU and how willing you are to reap outstanding benefits from your hard work.

On the other hand, there is actually a way to make the whole experience of getting P90X equipment convenient and budget-friendly. But before that, let’s have a mini-tour to completely understand the basics of P90X equipment.

 

P90X Equipment: The Basics

Perhaps you already know that P90X is a brainchild of  Beachbody and that it consists of a 90-day fitness program to help you tone up, develop lean muscles, or trim down extra fats while improving your flexibility, agility, nutritional education, and more. You can perform P90X by just using your own gravity alone but that will require tremendous effort and painful joint strain. This is when P90X equipment comes to the picture.

The following are just some of the basic P90X equipment you ought to include on your shopping list if you desire the best results:

  1. P90X Training System – This is what you get when you buy the basic program. It includes a total of 12 DVDs, a nutrition plan and a fitness guide. Must read first to know what you are getting yourself into. It prepares you mentally and helps you get started on the right foot with a targeted goal in mind.
  2. P90X Pull-up Bar – I know a lot of people hate the mere sight of them but pull-up bars are required for 3 out of the 12 workout DVDs. Resistance bands with the door hitch can be a substitute if you don’t want to do pull ups just yet on a pull up bar. Still very effective.
  3. Resistance bands or dumbbells – P90X is composed mostly of weight training exercises so it’s no wonder that these P90X equipment are included on the list. You can either choose dumbbells (Wal-Mart has a lot of them) or resistance bands if you are always on the go or you want an alternative tool for the sweat-inducing pull-up bars.

UPDATE: I have just bought the Bowflex power blocksthat replaces 15 sets of weights all in one set of dumbells. Saves you so

much space and it’s cost is much lower than buying each individual dumbbell which runs on average of $1 per pound. My first round of P90X all I got was a set of 10’s, 15’s and 20’s for dumbells. In addition, I got the resistance bands in which I think works excellent for the shoulder workouts.

Aside from the P90X equipment mentioned above, there are also optional items that can contribute largely to P90X success. Some of them are the following:

  1. P90X Results & Recovery Drink and Whey protein for building more muscles and replenishing energy after each workout.
  2. Yoga mat and 2 Yoga blocks for extra stability and protection during extreme yoga poses. In my opinion, this is the least needed of all the equipment if you are financially strapped. You can do without the blocks if needed to save some money.
  3. Heart rate monitor to fine-tune your performance and push-up bars to protect your wrist from possible wrist injury.

 

Where to buy P90X Equipment?

If you’re asking about a legitimate and well-trusted place to buy P90X equipment, purchasing your necessities from a Beachbody coach like myself is the best way to get what you need. When you buy through a coach, Beachbody also assigns them to you for accountability as your free coach. This coach is someone who has actually done the program already that can coach you for free as well as someone you can call and email when you have questions. Aside from the fact that Beachbody is the name behind these products, it can also offer you wider options to get affordable discounts up to 25% off.

If you’re a starter, you can choose P90X Results Package over P90X Training System to save a total of $24. The basic Training System only includes DVDs and guides while the package comes with all the items needed to start the P90X program including training system, pull up bar, recovery drinks and resistance bands. The amount of money you get to save is equal to the additional price you will be required to pay if you buy each item in the package separately.

Now if you want to save more, you can also decide to get the Beachbody Club Membership Account which will enable you to get 10% discount for all Beachbody items and get access to other limited freebies like personalized meal plans, chat priviledges with the pro trainers themselves like Tony Horton each month, and guides to enrich your knowledge about fitness and diet more.

Lastly, if you just discovered that motivating and inspiring people are your greatest passions in life, then this is the best time to become a Beachbody Coach and put your sense of commitment to test. Not only that because once you become a Coach, you also get the chance to earn commissions and enjoy 25% discounts for all Beachbody products for you to spread the good message to all who are looking for a better life through health and fitness and more.

 

How important is P90X Equipment?

P90X equipment, to begin with, are not expensive items made to hurt your budget. As a matter of fact, they are designed to make the P90X workouts easier and safer for you to execute. For this reason, I highly recommend using them to help you achieve maximum P90X results. P90X alone is a top notch program effective on its own but with the help of P90X equipment, anyone who is committed can achieve their personal best.

Are you using P90X equipment? What are your experiences with them so far? Feel free to share your opinions about P90X, P90X equipment and anything about Beachbody in the comments section below.
