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
I have done sculpt and Sweat 3-4 with ab ripper 200, twice each.
Lets just say it is no normal jump. Levels 3-4 are WAY harder.
Couple differences:
1) I moved up from 10lbs to 15-20 lbs and still doing anywhere from 12 to 15 reps.
2) I 80% of the squats and lunges with dumbells
3) There 40% more pushups with different variety
4) Less rest time between sets
5) Sweat has more pace and intensity
6) I use 2lbs hand weight when doing leg kicks and arm punches
7) Ab ripper 100 does very little to prepare you for the 200. I just keep up with Tony and the kids. Just keeping up means very poor form by the end of the round. I am now not trying to keep up but concentrate more on form.
My body feels very drained after each work out and I can feel a difference the next day with my recovery as my muscles feel slightly heavy in the morning.
The best news is my body is changing and I am leaning out with greater definition.
Good Afternoon !!!!
Today we switch from P90 1-2 to 3-4. Also picked up some 15 and 20 lbs dumbells as well.
I did an early morning workout today since I hockey starts today and will not have time in the evenings for the next three days.
So I did sculpt 3-4 this morning. It is WWWWAAAAYYYYY harder then 1-2. I loved it.
I eat bran flakes and blue berries before which felt fine during the workout. Then I eat 2 eggs with salsa after. That didnt go as well. I choked those down due to feeling a little sick. I push my self and the leg exercises really got me. I was using extra weight when doing the lunge exercises LOL. I did them all and never took a break!
Hockey starts today – Awesome! Three days of main camp and then the grind to pick the team. I have been waiting all summer for this day! I will take the next two days off and then hit Sweat 3-4 on Thurday!
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
