Metabolic Efficiency: Working Hard or Working Smart?

By Dr. Mark Cheng, L.Ac., Ph.D., FMS

If you’re involved in fitness, health, or the pursuit of a lean, toned body, you’ve undoubtedly heard the word “metabolism.” You’ve probably also heard that the more highly your metabolism functions, the better your results as far as fat loss and maintaining a slim, trim body. But “metabolism” is actually defined by Wikipedia® as “the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to sustain life.” Simply sustaining life isn’t that challenging a goal to aim for. If you’re engaged in doing a Beachbody® home fitness rogram, mere survival shouldn’t be your standard. Thriving, growing, exceeding, and surpassing should be what you’re working toward!

So let’s take a closer look at your metabolism to see how to optimize it.

The human metabolic process is broken down into two parts: catabolism and nabolism.  Catabolism is the “burning” or digesting of food or fuel sources to provide cells with energy. This is the part of metabolism that provides muscles with the energy to maintain posture and create movement. Anabolism, in turn, uses energy to link chemical compounds together to produce larger molecules, like muscle mass.

For catabolism to be efficient, you need to give your muscles the maximum number of opportunities to burn fuel like fat, carbohydrates, and sugars. So it stands to reason that if you’re training your body for the purpose of burning off excess weight, you want to engage the maximum number of muscles in the most efficient and safest manner possible.

One way to think of your body’s muscles is as their having two main functions: stability and mobility. Most of the big muscles people develop for cosmetic reasons, with prime examples being the quadriceps muscles of the thighs, the pectoral muscles in the chest, and the deltoid muscles of the shoulders, are centered around dynamic mobility. In other words, they’re muscles that allow you to go through a full range of motion. The stabilizing muscles, however, are generally those muscles that are deeper and closer to the joints. These are smaller muscles that include the spinal multifidi, the rotator cuff of the shoulder, and the core musculature of the midsection, and if they’re doing their job properly to stabilize your body while you’re in motion, they also play a major role in energy consumption.

Don’t be fooled, though. While some fitness coaches argue that it’s better to focus on the bigger mobility-oriented muscles because they burn more calories, any weakness or poor functionality in the smaller stabilizers can force the prime movers to pull double duty, making them attempt to both stabilize and move at the same time. This kind of inefficiency can overload one muscle group (prime movers) while robbing another group (stabilizers) of training. This scenario can lead to joint dysfunction and pain, which your body reads as a stressor. When it’s under stress, your body dumps the stress hormone cortisol into your bloodstream. And cortisol keeps packing the flab on around your midsection.

The bottom line is pretty simple. If you want to look good, you’ve got to move well. In order to move well, you have to feel good. In order to feel good, your body has to function well. So to get the most out of your metabolism, both in catabolic, fat-burning reactions and anabolic, muscle-building processes, your training has to involve both dynamic, explosive, gross movements and slow, controlled, precise movements—without pain. Pain is a silent enemy that constantly undermines the effectiveness of our workouts and hampers our metabolic efficiency. So to improve the functionality of your training, make sure you incorporate stability and postural training in addition to your dynamic, high-intensity workouts.

The correct mix of stability and dynamic motor control exercises along with explosive, high-output routines can give your body an incredible boost. By training muscles to perform their correct functions, you work more muscle groups with your exercises, perform those exercises more safely, and dramatically drop your risk of injury. Coordinated functioning of both your stabilizers and your prime movers is the essence of metabolic efficiency. As the stabilizers kick in and increase your caloric burn, not only do they consume more calories through their own action, but they also help the prime movers operate more efficiently with more powerful contractions, creating stronger movement and burning even more calories than ever.

If you want to get past the hump of “those last few pounds,” “the bulge that won’t go away,” or “the little spot I’d love to just tone up a little,” giving your stabilizers a chance to play in concert with your prime movers will set the stage for great movement. And when you move well, you’ll be happy to move more often. As you move more often with metabolically efficient movement patterns, you’ll be able to handle higher-intensity fat-sizzling workouts like P90X® without the cortisol setting you two steps back for every step forward you take. You’ll love how your athletic movements improve, how your quality of life blossoms, and how your lean, healthy, toned body evolves!

Beach Body Coaching Team!!!

Someone asked me why did you become a BechBody Coach? I didn’t hesitate to tell them the reasons why. It is the feel that you get when helping others. The best way I can explain it is when you do a service project for the needy you get that great feeling. But after the service project you may ask about the people that you helped but in most cases that is the only time you have contact with them, where as when you become a BeachBody you help people though their program for 30, 60, 90 and beyond.

Have you ever thought about the people around you that you could help by sharing a BeachBody product?

10 Common Mistakes Made by Individuals Who Engage in Stretching Exercise

1. Not warming up before stretching. Because stretching cold muscles increases your chances of injury; you should always warm up before stretching (i.e., perform activities that will increase your body temperature enough to “warm” you up sufficiently to safely begin exercising). Contrary to popular belief, stretching is not a warm-up.

2. Not stretching the muscles you’re trying to stretch. Too many people don’t stretch what they think they’re stretching because they don’t perform their flexibility exercises properly. More often than not, either they don’t know how to do a particular exercise properly, or they make an inappropriate adjustment in their body position while stretching.

3. Not watching how much pressure you place on your ligaments. Unfortunately, some people stretch their ligaments too much (rather than stretching their muscles) when performing stretching exercises. As a result, they develop excessive ligament looseness. As such, when you’re stretching, you should always avoid holding your joints in a position that places too much weight or pressure on your ligaments.

4. Not watching how much weight you place on your joint capsules. While stretching, if you place more weight on your joints than they can safely stand, you increase the likelihood that you may damage them. Accordingly, you should avoid activities that can injure your joints, such as standing toe touches.5. Not performing a balanced stretching regimen. To avoid the consequences of stretching unequally (e.g., the muscles that receive inadequate attention tend to tighten and shorten, causing such notable conditions as rounded shoulders), it is essential that you don’t stretch in one direction without balancing out that effort by also stretching in the opposite direction.

6. Not performing each stretching exercise slowly and smoothly. You should avoid using fast, jerky, or bouncing movements when performing stretching exercises. Doing so may force your muscles to stretch to an unsafe range of motion before your nervous system has time to protect them by signaling your muscle(s) to contract.

7. Not stretching to the point of maximum extension. When you stretch, you should move your body or body segment at a controlled speed through its maximum range of motion. You reach this point when you place a mild – but not painful – stretch on the muscles. On each subsequent repetition, you should attempt to go a little bit farther, while again avoiding pain and overstretching.

8. Not performing an appropriate amount of stretching exercise. A certain degree of subjectivity exists concerning what constitutes too much or too little stretching exercise. As a rule, it is recommended that you perform stretching exercises for each of the major areas of your body. ACSM recommends that individuals perform static stretches with each stretch being held for approximately 10 to 30 seconds each. Generally, static stretches are preferred because the risk of injury is low, and they require minimal time and little assistance.

9. Not stretching often enough. At a minimum, most fitness experts recommend that stretching exercises should be performed four to five times per week, and preferably daily. As a rule, because most flexibility gains are (far too) easily lost, the basic rule of thumb is that you should stretch often.

10. Not understanding that being flexible is not synonymous with being in good shape. Flexibility is just one of the essential components of physical fitness. As such, you should combine aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, and adherence to sound nutritional practices with your stretching exercises in order to “attain and sustain” a desirable level of fitness.

How to Exercise Safely during Daily Workouts

October 2, 2011 | Author: fernando | Posted in Fitness
Many of us do not consider the importance of exercise safety when we embark on a workout regime. We are usually more concerned with burning calories and shedding those unwanted pounds, but being safety conscious should be a priority if we want to achieve the best benefits from our workouts.
We must consider two important exercise safety categories: strains and other injuries that can occur from the exercises themselves, and external dangers which can jeopardize our safety during exercise. Below we will point out some of the most common dangers from both categories, and suggest tips to help avoid them.
Exercise Safety Tip #1 – Proceed with caution.
When we begin a workout regime, it is important to gradually work our way up to higher levels of intensity. There are numerous common injuries sustained by over doing things too soon. These include injuries such as torn ligaments, back damage, strained muscles, sprained wrists, ankles, shoulders and knees so we should take a more cautious approach and take things easy when we are first starting our exercise programme.
Exercise Safety Tip #2 – Awareness of surroundings.
Whether we are exercising in our own home or outdoors, it is vital that we are aware of our surroundings. Whether we want to avoid banging ourselves against furniture or being hit by a vehicle, awareness and prevention can help to keep us free from injury and ensure our safety.
Exercise Safety Tip #3 – Use equipment correctly.
Many exercise injuries can be attributed to the use of unsafe equipment, or improper use of exercise equipment. Whether we are lifting weights, riding a bicycle or using a rowing machine, we should make sure we use the equipment available is intended for this activity, and make sure that we are using it as the instructions intend it to be used. For example, we should not try to use a bicycle that is intended for street use as a mountain bike, or a couple of bricks and a piece of wood as a step.
Exercise Safety Tip #4 – Dress appropriately.
Different forms of exercise will require different types of clothing and footwear. We should look into which type of footwear are the best for walking, running, aerobics and other sports such as tennis and dance. We should also consider different types of fabrics and find out which ones will allow our skin to breathe and keep us cool and dry during workouts. If we are exercising outdoors in the early morning or evening when the lighting is poor, we should wear reflective clothing and footwear to make sure we are seen.
Exercise Safety Tip #5 – Keep well hydrated.
We normally sweat during a workout, which means fluid loss, which can lead to dehydration unless we are drinking adequate water before, during and after our workout. We should keep a bottle of water close at hand so that we can drink plenty of water during our workout. Ideally we should drink 8-10 8oz glasses of water daily, plus an additional glass or two during a 30 minute workout session. We can safely drink more than this, particularly in high temperatures or if we are especially thirsty.
It is really only common sense to follow a safe exercise regime. We should try to not be careless, and try to think ahead to avoid any possible dangers. If we think and plan ahead we can avoid the common injuries associated with exercise and fitness.

CoachGShort Weekly Newsletter September 18th 2011

I have always thought and expressed the importance of drinking you water, well this past week I was reminded of this.  The container that I have been using for the past couple of year had gone the way of the recycling and with out my pattern of drinking my water I felt the effects.  I was more tired, sore and honestly not as nice as I should be.

So why is water so important?  What does it do for us?  In this weeks article by Dr. Maoshing Ni goes over the benefits of drinking 6 8-ounces of water every day

 Water, Drink of Longevity

Most of us just aren’t getting enough water every day, which has a negative impact on all of our body’s functions — and thus, our longevity. This month, improve your cellular function, metabolism, and organ function with one simple habit: drink six glasses of water a day. Practice consistently, and by the end of the month, you will have a new cleansing habit that will pave the way for a long life!

Here’s why: Water is vital for good health and a long life. In fact, our bodies are made up of about 60 – 70% water. Although you can live for days without food, your survival depends on drinking water. Each and every cell needs water to perform its essential functions. Make sure to stay well hydrated by drinking six to eight 8-ounce fluid glasses of filtered water every day. Aim for about 64 ounces of liquid a day.

Benefits of a good drinking habit:

• Stay hydrated. On these hot summer days, your body needs to replenish itself with water more than ever. When you become dehydrated, you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and give you a feeling of fatigue.

• Regulate body temperature. For workout fans, drinking water reduces cardiovascular stress and improves performance. And water reduces body temperature, making the exercise process safer and more effective.

• Skin health. Water hydrates and irrigates impurities from the skin, keeping it healthy and glowing.

• Nutrient absorption. Water transports essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, proteins and sugars through your body for assimilation.

• Flushes wastes and toxins. Water aids in circulating and excreting waste products and cleansing the interstitial tissues, helping us to flush toxins out of our system. Your body can process and eliminate some of the chemicals that enter it, but the rest get stored in the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, blood stream, and skin. Without enough fluids to flush out your system, these accumulated toxins in your body will slow down your organ function, possibly causing premature aging or resulting in chronic illness.

Bonus tip: You are what you drink! Everything that goes down the drain from our lawns, agricultural fields, pharmaceutical drugs, or elsewhere in our environment inevitably ends up in our drinking water. Invest in a carbon-based filter to remove impurities from your tap water.

Reward Yourself

If you stick to the plan nearly every day, think of a way to reward yourself. You will be more likely to follow through with your goal when there is a bonus in sight.

Stay on track

To stay on course, ask yourself these questions each day. Keeping a written record of daily answers will help you stick to the plan and may offer insights to keep you inspired.

• Are you drinking six glasses of 8-ounce water every day? What has the experience been like?

• How do you feel today compared to the previous day? How about to one week ago? You may notice that you are feeling a little more energetic. Perhaps you feel lighter or are having fewer headaches.

• What obstacles are keeping you from practicing this hydrating habit every day? What can you do to get around the obstacle?

Can Exercise give you headaches?

Written by Lewis Carl Monfort

Everybody knows that working out often belongs to the things you must do if you want to lose weight. It does not matter what other folks might explain; you are unable to lose weight just by sitting around. What most people don’t realize however is that exercising can definitely be a pain. You are most likely geared up for muscle cramps and aches in your back and in your joints, but are you prepared for exercise induced headaches? Unfortunately a lot of individuals suffer from exercise triggered headaches but, thankfully, there is plenty you can to do treat and prevent them. Here is the way to do that.

Drink lots of water–you likely already understand that this is important to do regularly but it starts to get even more important when you exercise. Headaches will often be brought on by dehydration and dehydration can happen after a workout that has been successful and sweaty (sweat drains the body of fluid). Drinking fine volumes of water before your training session routines, during your work out and after you have finished working out can do quite a bit to help you keep the headaches at bay. This is typically usually all you will need to do to heal any headaches that turn up a while after your workouts too.

Proper warm ups along with cool downs are extremely essential. Just jumping right into a vigorous workout can cause headaches because the blood will start rushing in the direction of the parts of your body that are doing the work and away from your head and brain. Your brain needs time to adjust to the changes and a complete warm up and cool down lets your body to make those changes gradually.

Practice suitable breathing techniques while in your workouts and weight liftings. Our brains require oxygen to survive and operate properly. Most of us instinctively hold our breath whenever we are executing something difficult but that just reduces the oxygen that is available for your brain. By exercising good breathing you keep the brain supplied with a good amount of oxygen and will ward off headaches.

If you see that you are experiencing headaches frequently and nothing that you are trying is reducing them or helping you keep them away, it is time to talk to your doctor. If your workouts or diet plan are causing your regular headaches then your physician will be able to help you figure this out. It is possible that you need medication to keep the headaches at bay. Your doctor should be able to make it easier to figure out how to both cure your headaches and go on working out and your diet.

None of us really wants to experience a headache; we do almost everything we can to keep them at a distance. The best part is that you don’t have to merely suffer through them. With the proper preparing and know-how, it is possible to avoid exercise induced headaches completely!

  • Is Shakeology worth it?
  • Is Shakeology good for you?

Hopefully, by the time you’re finished reading this post, you’ll have a better idea of whether or not this best-selling meal replacement product is right for you.

Shakeology Review – The Basics

Shakeology is much more than just a protein shake. It’s also in a completely different league than your standard, everyday “meal replacement shake”.

In a nutshell, Shakeology is a complete (and super healthy) meal in a glass. Each shake is packed with 70 whole food ingredients that deliver the essential nutrients that the body craves and is often deprived of due to today’s typical unhealthy American diet.

Most Americans eat a steady stream of processed foods that are high in fat and sugar, and the challenge of eating a healthy diet is more difficult than ever. Shakeology offers a solution to that problem, one that is both convenient and affordable.

Is Shakeology a Scam?

Let’s be honest. The health and nutrition supplement industry isn’t always trusted or well-respected, and with very good reason. Many of the nutrition supplements being peddled today make huge claims and do very little (if anything) when it comes to providing real benefits to the customer.

With this in mind, it’s no wonder why some people are still skeptical about a possible Shakeology scam.

Fortunately, Beachbody is a company that takes great pride in their reputation and only produces the very best when it comes to health and fitness products. Great care was taken when formulating and sourcing the ingredients contained in Shakeology, and the end result is a product that truly deserves the growing popularity it’s enjoying.

The bottom line is Shakeology isn’t a scam, ripoff, or hoax. It’s a legitimate meal replacement product that delivers essential nutrition in a great-tasting, convenient, and affordable way.

Shakeology Benefits

Shakeology users have reported a wide range of health benefits, ranging from increased energy to lower cholesterol. In addition to providing all of these great benefits, it’s also great to know that Shakeology is certified low glycemic with a 24 GI (glycemic index) rating. A 24 GI rating is extremely low (which is a very good thing), and yet another confirmation of just how healthy this product really is.

In case you’re not familiar with GI ratings and the topic of blood sugar, foods that have high glycemic index ratings cause the body to produce higher levels of insulin which will provide a sugar rush, followed by a crash. Eating a diet that is primarily made up of low-GI foods is a great way to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels.

Here are some more Shakeology benefits that have been reported by customers:

  • Weight loss
  • Improved digestion
  • Better bowel regularity
  • Increased energy
  • Lower cholesterol

So all those looking for support please
come to our TEAM Thread!!! Most of the team is doing P90X but
there are people who are moving on to Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, and Turbo
Fire!!! So come get the support that you deserve!!!

Many of you have heard that I have three keys to a successful workout.  This is for any workout whether it is P90X, Insanity, or walking  around the block every night after dinner.  First is the exercise, this is the easiest of the three (even if it is P90X or Insanity).  Next is nutrition, this is hard but a lot of this is education.  The third and in my opinion the hardest of all three is motivation!  Without motivation you won’t eat right and you won’t workout.  In this weeks article by Andrew Lock (www.helpmybusiness.com) he discusses famous people who failed before they became the success that we all know.

Don’t give up!

 OFTEN LIFE DOESN’T go in the direction we want it to.  Does that mean our lives are doomed and we can’t achieve the success we dream of?  Let’s be realistic: Everybody fails.  Consider the following.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.”  Disney went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.  In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim, California, on the grounds that it would on attract “riffraff.”

Thomas Edison‘s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.”  He was fired from his first two jobs for being “nonproductive.” As an inventor, Edison made more than 1,000 unsuccessful attempts to invent the light bulb.  When a reporter asked him how it felt to fail 1,000 times, Edison said that he didn’t fail all those times, but that the light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4 years old and did not read until he was 7.  His parents thought he was “subnormal,” and one of his teachers described him as “mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in foolish dreams.”He was expelled from school.

Every cartoon that Charles schulz, creator of the comic strip Peanuts, submitted to the yearbook staff at his high school rejected.

After Fred Astaire‘s first screen test, the memo from the testing director of MGM, dated 1933, read, “Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.”  Astaire kept that memo over the fireplace in his Beverly Hills home.

Decca Records turned down a recording contract with The Beatles with this fascinating evaluation: “We don’t like their sound. Guitar groups are on their way out.”

 A friend of mine in the music industry personally auditioned a singer by the name of Reg Dwight in the 1960s.  He unceremoniously shoved the singer out of his office for wasting his time.  That singer is now better known as Elton John.

Imagine if these individuals had given up, believing they were doomed to failure and would never achieve success.  Do you think they ever felt down and depressed?  Sure.  But they didn’t allow a gloomy state to overtake them, to overpower their desire to succeed.  in every case they did succeed – in a huge way, far greater than their wildest dreams.

Bad experiences can be viewed as positive in hindsight.  They can be stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.  It’s your choice.  But be determined to never give up.

He is now at 220 lbs does all his pushups from his feet and not his knees, Plyo X the mother of all X workouts is easy and he can do 8 pullups without a break!!!

Delux says “I’m happy to say that ordering p90x was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made because (heres comes the cliche) it literally has changed my life. my goals now are to finish losing the last of my fat and being a lean mean healthy machine… i cant wait to say goodbye to the old me forever!”

And is he done? Heck no he is going on to his new goal of 10% bodyfat!!!

So what is your excuse?  Delux could have made those excuses but he got the disks and pushed play!!!

Coach GShort’s August 21th Newletter

 

CoachGShort Weekly Newsletter   August 21st 2011 

Before we get to the newsletter I have to
take a second and appoligize for not getting a newsletter out last week. 
As many of you know that I went on a hike and on my way down I sprained my
ankle.  The sprain was not that bad but walking 6-7 miles off the mountain
was.  So I am back on track as of today with my workouts, but I am modifing
to ensure that I don’t make anything worse.  Take a look at my hike and
believe it or not I have video of me when I hurt my ankle.

So
many of us joined Beachbody to lose weight.  This week’s newsletter’s main article by Bill

Phillips.

Is Losing Weight
Fast Dangerous?

A reader emailed me the other day: “Is rapid weight loss

dangerous?”

This is actually a fairly common question. And when I see it, here’s what I
read between the lines: “How bad would it be if I starved myself to drop a few
pounds?”

The answer: Pretty bad. Not because it’s unhealthy—though it can be—but
because in the long run this strategy will make you fat. Really.

When it comes to losing weight, how fast is too fast? We asked Men’s
Health Weight Loss Coach Alan Aragon, M.S., a nutritionist who works with
Olympic and professional athletes, for his perspective. His definition:
“Dropping pounds so rapidly that in addition to losing fat, you lose muscle too.
This isn’t ‘dangerous’ as in ‘life-threatening,’ but it’s not good for your
overall health.”

Here’s why: Losing muscle reduces your ability to burn calories and regulate
your blood sugar, says Aragon—and, of course, it makes you weaker. What’s more,
lost muscle is often replaced by fat when you stop dieting. The result: You end
up looking flabbier than ever. After all, each pound of fat takes up 18 percent
more space on your body than each pound of muscle.

Aragon dug into the scientific research to determine the rate that different
people could lose weight without losing muscle. His findings:

* Obese to morbidly obese: 3 to 5 pounds per week
* Overweight: 2 to 3
pounds per week
* Lean to average: 1 to 2 pounds per week
* Very Lean: 0.5
to 1 pound per week

Of course, you can help your cause even more by lifting weights while you
diet. Research shows that this can prevent the wasting of muscle, helping ensure
your weight loss is pure fat.

The other dangers of rapid weight loss: bone loss, dehydration, and an
increased risk of binge eating in some people. “But these are typically the
result of severe caloric restriction,”says Aragon. His solution: “I’ve found
that you can use a simple formula to calculate a smart and effective caloric
intake; it’s based on your target body weight.”

For example, let’s say you’re a man who weighs 220
pounds, but you’d like to tip the scales at 180 pounds. You’ll base your calorie
intake on that of a 180-pound guy. Now if you don’t do any resistance exercise
(you should!), simply multiply your target body by 11. That’s the minimum number
of daily calories you should consume for healthy weight loss, with little risk
to your muscles.

If you do lift weights, use 9—instead of 11—and add to that the number of
hours you work out per week. So if you exercise one hour a week, you’ll multiply
your target body weight by 10. If you exercise two hours a week, you’ll multiply
your target body weight by 11; if you exercise three hours a week, you’ll
multiply your target body weight by 12; and so on. (The extra activity will
allow you to eat more and still lose just as fast.)

Then remember these tips as you start your weight loss program:

1. Prepare to plateau. “Your weight drop will be linear at
first, meaning you’ll typically lose a steady amount every week,” says Aragon.
“However, as you get lighter, your weight will tend to drop in a stepwise
manner. So don’t get discouraged if scale holds for a few days, or even a couple
of weeks. The closer you get to your goal, the longer the stalls or plateaus can
be.”

2. Take a time out. Every 8 to 12 weeks, take 7 days
completely off from dieting. “Don’t consciously try to stuff your face, but
don’t rigidly restrict yourself either,” says Aragon. “This is a good mental and
physical break from dieting that allows people to sustain their diets for longer
periods.”

3. Redefine progress. “Look at other determinants of success
besides the scale,” says Lisa Sasson, R.D., associate professor of nutrition at
New York University. Monitor your triglycerides, blood pressure, and body fat
percentage. As these numbers improve, you’ll have even more motivation to stick
with your eating plan.

 

 

 

I truly believe in this product! I can’t say that everyone will have the same
reaction as my wife has had and I truly cannot say that the doctor treatments
have not had a hand it her increased energy but going from 2 months ago when she
was complaining about not having any energy to get out of bed to going to the
point of re-painting our kitchen by herself, I can say I am a believer in this
product and so is she.

I recommend giving this product a try and with the Beach Body Bottom-of-the-Bag guarantee if you are not totally satisfied in the first 30 day you can return it for a full refund (less s&h).

Beach Body
Coaching Team!!!

 

“End the TREND” is just a saying,
it a way of being.  Here is a video
done by CDC Streaming Health on youtube.

The Obesity Epidemic

The video talks about what can the government  and organization do to
help, but I ask what can we do as individuals?  Beachbody gives us the
ability to help those around us through their programs.  Until each person
make it a priority in thier own life no government or organization get someone
in shape.  But I can tell you that there are people out there that are
waiting for someone to show up and show them a way out of their current
situation.

 What is holding you back?!? Help pick up the fight!!!

Take a look at Marc & Nicolas C. and their success story as a BeachBody Coach:
