My P90X Story

The sad reality is that I was headed down a disastrous road. Having been pretty fit for most of my life, spending 8+ years at a desk and then becoming a stay-at-home dad had left me slowly slipping. I wasn’t your typical overweight. In fact, I doubt most people would even have said I was fat. But, give how rarely I did anything other than idle weight lifting, one might guess that I had developed...

Triathlon Coaching

What started as nothing more than curiosity (or, perhaps, insanity) became a passion. I wish I could say that I knew I would love this sport or that I had always been “into running” but none of that is true. I registered for and completed my very first triathlon (an off-road) on a complete whim and, merely one month later, registered for Ironman Arizona even though I had no experience, had never...

Free Shakeology Samples…

That’s right, a Shakeology Sample. Why, you might wonder? Because I am such a believer that I know you will be too if you give Shakeology a legitimate try. I’ve been using it for over a year now and am officially either addicted or in love with it. Not sure which and it might be both! I was not always so passionate about it though. When Shakeology debuted, I was definitely a doubter at best. I...

P90X Review

What is P90X? Maybe the baddest, most awesomest program even created. If P90X is not Number 1, it certainly is in the discussion. P90X is, in short, an extreme fitness program, created by fitness trainer Tony Horton, and designed to get people in the best shape of their lives. With P90X, you get: Twelve Fitness DVDs (Chest and Back; Plyometrics; Shoulders and Arms; Kenpo X; Core Synergistics; Legs...

Why I Became a Beachbody Coach

While I became a Beachbody Coach in May of 2008, I like to say that I truly started becoming a Coach in December of 2009. My coaching story starts at a meeting of about 400 people in Newport Beach, California. My mom, who was working for Chalene Johnson at the time, invited me because in her words, “Chalene said this is going to be amazing.” I asked her what it was, she had no clue. All I...

Shakeology Review

In my opinion, Shakeology is the best nutritional product ever created. Period. Bar none. I cannot stress that enough. There is nothing on the market that remotely compares. When Shakeology debuted, I was extremely skeptical. To the point that I was completely uninterested in trying it. I had a sample here and a sample there at various events, but was unimpressed. To me, it was just another protein...

Insanity Review

I have to admit, when Beachbody started releasing bits and pieces of Insanity, I was mildly intrigued. I thought it looked cool but I simply adored P90X too much to leave it. I also did not want to two-time my favorite program. How could I possibly cheat on P90X??? Over time, though, two trusted friends bought and did Insanity. These were old friends whom I trusted and both just raved about it. They had...

Mastery, and the pursuit thereof…

Mastery… such a simple word, but so complex too. What is “mastery”? Probably something different to different people. I think to many, mastery is something attained or an accomplishment, typically at the end of a journey of sorts. One studies or practices for months, years, or even decades to attain mastery. Through diligent repetition, one becomes a master. Many people even...
