Just a reminder for anyone looking to start or purchase a fitness program for a friend/family member. Beach Body will be having a huge sale this week. I am very excited! More info to come shortly on my FB and blog – stay tuned in! You wont want to miss it!
Hi everyone,
Hockey has been awesome. The regular season starts this coming Friday against Drumheller. Should be a good game.
I take vitamins and protein powder from Nutrilite. I have not used the beach body products simply because I like what I am using now. I do plan in the future to use BB products just not right now.
For the past 2 weeks I have taking my vitamins and protein powder(1/2 scoop) right after workouts. Reason why I started doing this was because of some of the articles I have been reading about absorption rates being higher right after workouts. So I thought I would try it. I have to say I do believe there is some truth to it. Here are some of the differences I have felt:
1) No muscle soreness at all. Now when I went from 1-2 to 3-4 levels, I had some muscle fatigue but no soreness. The difference between the two levels is night and day.
2) Energy level is higher after the workouts then before. This might be the biggest difference. My recovery is very quick and I can move on with the rest of my day.
3) Less muscle fatigue is WAY LESS then before. Now I still feel it but at much lower degree after the workout.
I hope this some amount of info will help you decide to try the supplements after your workout. It did well for me, hopefully it will help you as well.
Have a great day
Blair
Tonight will be 8 days straight of doing P90. My body felt tired yesterday but my wife kicked my ass and I had one of my best workouts to date! Funny how that works, not interested in doing a work out then BANG you are flying through it! We are doing sweat 1-2 tonight – time to push even harder.
For some reason I have not been sleeping well. Maybe it has to do with my job change. Going to leave the University for an Auction house. This will allow me to go to more Kodiak practices in the morning!! WOOT!
I will be doing advertising which I have never done. It will be super interesting and a steep learning curve! I start on September 1st.
Hi everyone. There is no question that my body is changing just short of 30 days. The beach body programs are worth every penny up to this point. My stomach is flattening, my arms and legs are more toned. I feel better and eat way better. My kids are noticing 🙂 Just a very good feeling!
For sculpt last night I used 2 pound hand weights when doing the punches. WOW what a difference on the 2 set. So if you want to spice your round up buy some 2 pound hand weights. The 7-7-7 pushups is still not were I like them. I am stronger but it is very slow improvement. I will need other two weeks to beable to move in the direction I need to be for Sculpt 3-4. Sweat 1-2 is a different story. I am thinking maybe one more week at levels 1-2 and then move on to 3-4. Which by the way is much harder! The real test will be Monday – measurements, weigh in and pictures!
I just finished my Beach Body P 90 cardio 1-2. It was a great time. I felt strong from start to finish. I can still push it up a notch but that will come in time. My balance has improved although still “tipping” at times. My strength on the power yoga – crescent and warrior stance is becoming stronger. Overall, very happy with my overall results.
I am a little disappointed with leaving for next week to the Under 16 Hockey Alberta Camp. Not that I don’t want to be there but because the my P-90 is going in the direction I want it to. I just don’t want to lose momentum. I plan on doing some of the fat burning express and P 90 cardio during the morning or night. Just depends on my other commitments. I was selected to be an assistant coach for the Under 16 Challenge Cup. The best 15 year old hockey players from Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are playing a short term tourny during the end of October. I am very excited about this opportunity.
Ad Ripper was tough again. The exercise where you have your legs straight in the air, your thumbs locked and you try to touch your toes, KILLS me every time!!! From there I cant keep up to Tony and the Kids pace. I power through it and I know 3 weeks from now I will have it down pat!
Have to run my son’s birthday party in 1 hour. Have to get the water balloons ready – its going to be a wet wet wet time!
Overall it was great intensity, Other then our youngest son interupting us – had a bad dream. Last cylce with punching and kicking is surprisingly difficult. I picked up the intensity with the speed and stonger punches and kicks. You can feel a noticable difference. The power yoga moves are difficult; my balance as improved but my flexability is brutal. Although its better it is along ways of from being comfortable.
The ab ripper was far better then the first time. I had to hesitate for a couple second, first on the “touch your feet”, second was the very last exercise. I try to work on form when do these exercises, so I run a little behind Tony and the kids.
I have not felt very tired going into the workouts. Even though I dont sleep more then 7 hours on any given night, the diet seems to be working eating 5 smaller meals per day. The biggest reason I think is because I have cut out some of the process foods and I have not eat any pasta for almost a week. Although I am sure a little pasta is a good thing. Have to run, my oldest son wants to play a game – “Battleships”. Take care
First go through on Cardio 1-2 for P90. Overall impressions was top notch. My level of intensity was good not great. Not knowing the exercises as  Tony Horton moved along caused some delays. But the weeks ahead will be better thus my intensity will increase. There was much more arm movement involved tonight then the past week with the fat burner. Amazing the work out your arms receive when keeping in air for period of time. The Ab Ripper was the hardest. I could not complete it and had to have a break but did finish it. I know my weakness and my mid section is it. Have lots of work to do there!
My 9 year old son (Shea) worked out with me from start to end. He did a terrific job. I think I will by one of beach bodies kids workouts if he continues to have an interest. Funny watching a young boy trying to do movements old people have a tough time doing! He laughed at Tony alot. LOL
Have a great night I will have my todays meal plan tomorrow! Good night!
I am 41 year old male from Edmonton Alberta, Canada.
My wife (Shellie) and I have been doing Beach Body workouts since 2009 with great success! We have four great kids - 2 sons(ages 12 and 6) and twin girls (age 8). So as you can imagine a very busy schedule. The Beach Body workouts work well within our free time. They are well made and produce results! I have completed P90X twice, Insanity once and Les Mills Pump, plus a number of 1 on 1 workouts with Tony Horton!
Currently I own a successful hockey training company called Core Hockey Training. I am also an assistant coach with Junior A hockey team in Camrose Alberta. I work with high level athletes from the ages of 6 to 20.
Being around high caliber athletes one must be aware of your physical well being. Although I am not over weight, I was not in the shape I was required to be in, when asking the athlete to give more! You must be a product of the product. I am very competitive and love a challenge! I was introduced to Beach Body by a friend who was doing P90X. I dislike gyms, so this seems like a great alternative. I fell in love with Beach Body, so much so, that I am a component of shakeology (best meal of the day) and become a Beach Body Coach in October of 2012 (Emerald Level).
Decide, Commit, Succeed. I will be there to help you every step of the way!
To Your Commitment,
Blair
