Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

This is an incredible group of people where support and motivation is 2nd to none. I guarantee if you start posting with us, you will want to work out and you will be here every day. It's a crazy bunch, but lots of experience in this group, and we love new people. We're here to help and push you.

If you're new, read this first page for some great tips, then go to the last page and start posting with us. Me personally I've done P90X, P90X+, P90X2, Insanity, Asylum and TurboFire. But it's not about me, it's about you and the team of people here and how we all help each other get through. No matter what program you're doing we can help you.

PLEASE READ!!

GOALS
Why are you doing this? Is it to loss 5 to 10 pounds, is it to impress someone, or is it to change your life? This is a life changing program and it is totally worth it and everything worthwhile is worth working for. To make sure that you get these life changes you should read through the Fitness and Nutrition guides to help you understand the steps necessary. Whatever your goals are now, I urge you to consider this a lifetime change, not just a 90 day challenge. Make fitness part of your life and you will forever be thankful and you will be a better partner, parent, person and be around for the ones you love. Make your GOALS SMART:

S = Specific "I want to lose weight," is not very specific. How about: "I am going to lose 15 pounds or 2 pants or dress sizes."

M = Measurable Anything that you can measure.

A = Attainable Is it possible to attain your goal? Don't go overboard, but don't go too easy either.

R = Realistic Related to Attainable, ha to be something you can do. Are you looking to lift a cretain weight, run a faster mile or just not get out of breath tying your shoes.

T = Time Limited Give yourself a deadline. In fact this has already been done for you by the folks that created P90X. It is 90 DAYS!!!!

Nutrition
If you want great results, then consider nutrition half of the battle. Nutrition plays a major role in how we reach our goals. Read the nutrition guide and follow the plan. You can prepare week by week or whole month at a time.

Shakeology®, the healthiest meal of the day. Want a simple way to transform your health? All it takes is one glass of Shakeology® a day. This ultra-premium nutritional health shake contains the world's most powerful superfoods. It's the perfect combination of antioxidants, phytonutrients, enzymes, prebiotics, protein and many rare ingredients – including adaptogens, camu-camu, and sacha inchi – giving you the essential nutrients you can't get from an ordinary diet. Replace one meal a day with Chocolate, Tropical Strawberry or Greenberry Shakeology to increase your energy, reduce cravings, lose weight, improve digestion and regularity, and transform your health.* and it's just 150 calories..

Motivation
Nothing is more important than motivation. Times will get tough and there are going to be days that you feel like you cannot get up or you feel too tired at night to workout. This is where your coach and these boards help out. By joining this thread you will find like minded people that will push you and look for help from you to be pushed. This is a 90 day program and it helps to have not just your coach in your corner but a whole team ready to cheer you on and waiting for you to cheer them on.

Also Track your accomplishments:
• Take your measurements
• Take your before and after pictures
• Use the Worksheets

I can't stress this part enough. It REALLY helps to see your progress! Get those measurements and pictures. You don’t have to share your pictures but the motivation that it provides to others is invaluable as you will see when others post their pictures. Take a look at these videos to help you get your photos and measurements right.

Workouts
WARNING: I know the first week of any program is TOUGH!! Fight your way through, do your best and things will get easier and better with time. Do your best and do what you can do, that's all you can ask for. As Tony says, "Do your best and forget the rest".

Pre-Workout
All the workouts are intense! You need the right fuel to “Bring It!” and a pre-workout meal about an hour before is important. But be warned if you workout too close to the pre-workout meal you may lose it.

If you workout first thing in the morning, you can skip the meal but you may want to include a 1/3 of your recovery drink in to your water to make sure that you have enough energy to get through your workouts or 1/2 a banana or try the Energy and Endurance for that extra push.

Post Workout:
One of the most important parts of any exercise routine is a recovery drink. I cannot stress how important this is. By adding a recovery drink immediately after your workout you will significantly decrease the amount of soreness you will experience while recovering from your workouts. Plus it replaces vital nutrients that you burned during your workout and prevents muscle damage. The P90X Recovery Drink is a very good product and I highly recommend it. Aside from the proper 4:1 Carbsrotein ratio, it has Creatine and L-Glutamine which both help your muscles replenish and rebuild.

Equipment:
For P90X all you really need are some bands. I suggest a pullup bar and dumbells, but you can do it without them. Insanity requires no equipment. If you have questions ask away.

Lastly post your Accountability Daily.The message boards are a great way to meet others that are going through what you are going through and it helps stay accountable and motivated! Everyone comes from different backgrounds and will be able to share tips and information that has helped them and could help you as well. The boards helped me tremendously through my first round of P90X and I can tell you if we can get a group to stick through this together, we will all be better for it.

I look forward to getting to know you. I’ve met many great people in my time here and look forward to meeting more.

Morning Sheltie, glad to have you and the dogs with us.

Quick tip for new people - Week 1 will be the toughest. Just do YOUR best, don't worry what the people on the disc are doing, they all have 6-pack abs and 6% body fat and they need breaks. So take breaks when you need to (and you will), modify any moves you have to and just keep pushing play, that is what will bring you success.

Mike is back! Looking forward to kicking it back into gear next Monday!! Thanks for setting up this new thread Coach Larry and for going along on the ride with us again and with all the newbies.

I actually may do the CCB workouts a few times this week just because I can't stand not doing anything. I know rest is important, but I don't feel like the CCB will kill me.

And welcome to all new board members. Catch ya later!

Mike

Glad to see you all here and I am geared up for round two and I need to say I a proud to be doing it with a GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE !!!!!

Good morning and happy Tuesday to my returning friends and any newbies who may be lurking, The majority of the people that are coming here will be starting on 5/21 and 5/28. But you can join anytime and you'll get support, motivation, information, inspiration and friendship here. Great time to start up Insanity, bathing suits will be on display soon. So DIG DEEP and push play and get yourself into the best shape of your life.

Shiboo - Way to jump right into the 2nd round. There are a numner of people who will be here who just finished a round and are taking a week or two off before jumping back in. You will get plenty of suppor here and iunderstanding from people who are going INSANE with you. So stick with us, this is a great group.

Hey guys I'm back! So excited to be doing Round #2! After having eye surgery and 3 days of complete bed rest with my eyes closed I was starting to go crazy! I was so excited to get up and work out this morning I woke up an hour early and couldn't ggo back to sleep! Still not suppose to be on the computer and am typing with eyes closed so excuse the typo's. Had pure cardio this morning. My coordination was a little off due to the eyes but I know tomorrow will be better! It felt great! Haven't been able to read all the posts I know ya'll finished and hopefully posted pics. Will catch up when I can see better! Congratulations! I know you must feel fantastic!

Accountability Monster Jam Day 43 Chest Back and Balance - OK, so it's been about 9 days since I did Day 42, but whenever I workout, I just do the next day on the schedule. And, I'm definitely not 100% yet. The brusied chest that I thought passed becaause I didn't feel it any more is there on every push up. This was a tough onw to com eback to as this disc has a lot of pushups on med balls and the plyo ball, and there was some pain. THe first pullups tweaked my shoulder, although it actually felt better after a couple as if they straightened that out. Near the end is a move called double-wide pushups which is wide pushups on med balls. I knew that was going to be too much so I ended the disc there with 4 moves left. Still a great workout and feels good to be back, even if not quite full speed.

Mike - I know the feeling. I played in a 30 and over Hardball league for years before my knees couldn't take it. I play softaball now in a league that's not as cumpetitive and my team is not very good, but it's always nice to be out there on the field with friends and fueling the fire of friendly competition. I'm anxious what your friend has to say as well.

penny good to see you here, hope you're ok and i'm glad to share all i've learned with anyone who wants to make the change.
