Shakeology and Shakeology FAQ

Shakeology is the Healthiest Meal of the Day. Each shake helps you increase energy, become more regular, lose weight, and feel great.

If you don't feel healthier, more energized, and simply amazing, you won't pay. You can return Shakeology for any reason and get your money back (less s&h)—even if the bag is empty!

It's a chocolaty delicious meal.=D

Beachbody and Pyramid Schemes

For some reason, I get the question Is Beachbody a Pyramid Scheme asked quite a bit. First of all, no, it's not a pyramid scheme and second, most people do not understand the workings of a pyramid scheme.

What is a Pyramid Scheme?

"People are often misinformed about network marketing and get the business model confused with illegal pyramid schemes.  To give a short summary, a pyramid scheme is similar to a Ponzi scheme.  Pyramid schemes are to the network marketing industry as Ponzi schemes are to the Investment industry.  Both look like a legitimate business opportunity and look like they are based on the business model, but they promise high returns with no work involved except for getting other people into the scheme and paying those above them with the money taken in by new investors.  Why they always ultimately fail it that as the scheme grows, new investors are required to put more money in.  Once the bubble bursts, the scheme falls apart and everyone gets burned." - Coach Jim Wyatt.

What does this mean? New recruits are paying money into a business, but often do not receive any type product. The primary source of income, for example in Ponzi schemes, is from new investors. They must constantly bring in new investors in order to continue paying the old investors. Beachbody’s costs are not paid to the coach who recruits you. They are paid directly to Beachbody. Something else, a lot of those schemes require you to have inventory (most are likely to end up in the trash). Beachbody does not have such a requirement. Purchases are directed through their site or their resellers. There is no inventory kept on hand by the coaches.

P90X in Bruno Mars The Lazy Song

Bruno Mars mentioned P90X in his song, The Lazy Song. The official video is below. It's pretty funny and the song is clean except for that one line:

"Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X. Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex. And she's gonna scream out. This is great."

It's neat to see P90X being mentioned in more and more places.

Tony Horton on the Today Show

Tony Horton, my favorite fitness instructor, was on the Today Show yesterday May 18th, 2011. Tony only had around 3 minutes of air time with Kathie Lee and Hoda. He is entertaining as usual! Tony shows the girls a few exercises from P90X. The video below is hosted on Hulu. Enjoy!

Hurt Shoulder during pull-ups

On Monday I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder during wide pull-ups. I immediately stopped and tried continuing with the other Chest and Back workouts but still felt the pain. So... until my shoulder heals I am changing the P90X routine to the following:

Monday: P90 Cardio 3-4 (no yoga or arms), ARX

Tuesday: P90X Plyo
Wednesday: P90 Cardio 3-4 (no yoga or arms), ARX
Thursday: P90 Cardio 3-4 (no yoga or arms)
Friday: P90X Legs and Back (minus the back), ARX
Saturday: P90 Cardio 3-4 (no yoga or arms)

A LOT of cardio.It's better than just stopping completely. When I start doing shoulder exercises again, I'll do Shoulder Dislocates before working out. My shoulders are not very flexible (sitting hunched over a computer for half your life can do that). The best advice I've found is to do what doesn't hurt when you have an injury.

Slow Carb Chicken Chili

This is a Slow Carb Chicken Chili that I modified for P90X. It's approximately a 50/30/20 meal; 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fat and is a good choice for Phase 1 "Fat Shredder" of P90X.

I really like this recipe and it'll be one of my primary meals throughout P90X.

Read more about the recipe and how to make it at Fit Corner Network: Slow Carb Chicken Chili


Ingredients:

• 4 cups chopped or diced cooked chicken
• 1.5 cans great northern beans (drained)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cups chicken stock or broth (low sodium fat free)
• 8 tbsp of chopped green chilies
• 2 tbsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1.5 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 5 tsp minced garlic

P90 Completed, P90X starts today!

I just completed a round of P90. Total weight lost is approximately 14.4 pounds! I'll start P90X today with the Slow Carb diet.

What is “Slow-Carb”?

The Slow-carb diet consists of foods that have a low-glycemic index, such as Shakeology. The glycemic index (GI) factor is a ranking of foods based on their overall effect on blood sugar levels.

How does it work?

With low-glycemic foods your body will break them down slower. This results in stable blood sugar levels (no spikes as there is with white breads and sugary foods). The idea behind the diet is to not count calories and to keep meals simple (but to eat more protein laden foods as they are less calorie dense). You can lose pounds on this diet is 30 days without exercise.
