Introducing TBB TRAINING CAMP for TBB fitness programs!
Yep, you read that right! TBB Training Camp for those engaged in TBB fitness programs!
You have all heard of TRAINING CAMPS for sports like football, basketball, soccer. Well we decided to develop a TRAINING CAMP for Beachbody Fitness programs.
Traditional TRAINING CAMPS focus on getting you into the best possible shape for the particular sport you are doing. You are already focusing on your workout with your at home fitness program. But what happens when you leave the TRAINING CAMP? We have learned that fitness is a 24/7 process. So how does a traditional TRAINING CAMP help you when you get home; back into the environment that has many obstacles that might cause us to fail? It DOESN'T!!!!!
That is where our TRAINING CAMP comes in. We focus on what happens after the workout. Nutrition, real life obstacles, family, and all the wonderful things in life that can potentially make us
fail.....
Our TRAINING CAMP is geared to get you to think outside the box. In life there are many obstacles and we, myself included, tend to focus on what is in front of us, but if we take a step back and really think about the situation that we are in, the solution is often right in front of us.
Let me begin by explaining that there are various ways we learn. The three (3) major learning modalities are Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic. We will apply all three of these learning modalities to fitness, nutrition, health and wellness. By the end of this TRAINING CAMP we hope that you are more knowledgeable in those areas and therefore will be able to overcome any obstacles that are presented to you.
Post daily, engage in conversations and have fun. DO NOT sit on the side lines and be a "silent observer." You are more likely to get the most out of TRAINING CAMP if you are part of the conversations! With that said………..
ARE YOU READY TO BRING IT? ARE YOU READY TO GET INTO THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE?
If the answer is YES....
We will help you succeed. We have done multiple rounds of P90X and we know what works and what doesn't work. We will push you beyond what you think you are capable of and when you emerge on the other side, you will be completely transformed.....
Whether it's your first time, second time trying, or you have completed a Beachbody fitness program and looking to do it all over again, EVERYONE is welcome.
No need to be shy about joining this group. We are just a bunch of ordinary people looking to reach our personal fitness goals by using Beachbody fitness programs as a means to do it!!
Now we understand that "Life Happens" and when it does sometimes we need support and motivation to continue on our fitness journeys. This group will offer support, motivation and information on how to get over those "Life Happens" bumps in the road. If you have any questions, concerns or just want to throw in your support to others - this group is for you!
Don't be worried if you start late, that just means that there is more of us that can help get through P90X. We will share success stories and who knows you may make a friend for life while getting into the best shape of your life!
The theme for this group is, "We will leave no team member behind."
"Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today."

Before we start there are some things you need to know.
NECESSARY EQUIPMENTDumbbells - You can use good ole fashion regular dumbbells from Wal-Mart or you can go to the extreme and get yourself a set of Bowflex® SelectTech® 552 Dumbbells or Bowflex® SelectTech® 1090 Dumbbells. Some of us used and will use again the CAP Barbell 40-lb. Dumbbell set from Wal-Mart. Some have since moved up to the Bowflex® SelectTech® 552 and/or 1090 Dumbbells.
Resistance Bands - The resistance bands serve as great and affordable alternatives to weights and dumbbells. They allow for more flexibility and easier storage as well. WARNING: This is something that you do not want to go cheap on. Some of the group members purchased the cheap ones thinking they were saving money and they broke. If they break, you cannot do the workouts!
Chin-Up Bar - A good ole fashion chin-up/pull-up bar found at any Wal-Mart or Target store will do.
Push-up bars - You can use standard push-up bars that can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Target. You can go with the P90X Power Stands designed and used by celebrity fitness trainer Tony Horton or you can do the good ole fashioned pushups with your hands.
Optional Equipment Yoga Mat - You can pick up a good ole fashioned Yoga mat from Wal-Mart or Target.
Heart Rate Monitor: Unfortunately you can't go cheap on these. Some members tried to go cheap to save money and ended up paying more in the long run. If you are going to invest in a heart rate monitor invest in a good one. If you have questions about which HRM to purchase, ask us, we will provide you with the best information on HRM's that’s available today!
Nutrition This is the most important part of any workout program, whether it be P90X®, INSANITY® Hip Hop Abs®, Slim In 6® etc. Following the recommended nutrition plan is crucial to the success of the program. Planning and preparation are key ingredients for success. This is not as hard as it seems. If you need assistance on recipes for meals, post your needs on the thread and someone from the group can share with you some recipes.
Optional Nutritional SupplementShakeology®, 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 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.
Whey Protein - You may find that you need to take a supplement like this to reach the necessary protein levels found in P90X's Fat Shredder Phase. Protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles. You can purchase this through Team Beachbody or get it at any GNC, Wal-Mart, even some supermarkets are carrying whey protein.
Caseine Protein - As stated above, rapid protein use us desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times; including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. What does this mean to for you? You are burning calories while you sleep!
Now that you got the proper equipment and nutritional requirements out of the way. What next?
WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS!!!!
When you write a goal, use the SMART acronym to help you make sure that you are creating something that you will actually DO!
S = Specific "I want to lose weight," is not very specific. How about: "I am going to lose 25 pounds or 3 pants or dress sizes."
M = Measurable Anything that you can measure, you can accomplish! "I will network with more people and make better connections for my business." How would you measure "more"? Try something like this instead: "I will meet and follow-up with 2 new people at every networking event that I attend this year."
A = Attainable Is it possible to attain your goal? When you create your goals and write them down you should make sure that your goals are possible! Now, you have to be cautious though. Don't go too easy on yourself. Your goals should have some stretch to them so that you can grow!
R = Realistic "I will get into shape so I can jump over a tall building in a single bound" Uh...nope, not going to happen. There are certain laws of physics that still make it impossible for humans to jump over a tall building in a single bound. Make sure that the goals you created based on reality.
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!!!!
TAKE A BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO AND WRITE DOWN YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER MEASUREMENTS. You will want to take a before photograph of yourself along with writing down your before measurements. At 30, 60 and 90 Days you will also take a photograph of yourself and take your measurements. Comparing the before and after photos will show you how much progress you are making.
TAKE THE FIT TESTTake the fit test prior to Day 1. This will give you a foundation to judge your fitness level. Having this foundation will help you get through the workout programs.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS DURING THE WORKOUTSUse the P90X workout sheets to track how many reps you completed, how much weight you used and as you progress through the program, try to do more than you did the previous time. Writing it down will help you remember what you did and your notes you make will help you remember if the workout was too easy, too hard, or just right.
Below is a link to the workout sheets.
Work SheetsTRACK YOUR NUTRITIONAL PROGRESSKeeping a journal of what you eat and when you eat it will help you track your calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats etc. Using phone apps such as MYFITNESSPAL, or LIVESTRONG or TAP & TRACK Calorie Counter (Diets & Exercises) will be of great assistance to you. Most of the group use MYFITNESSPAL to track what they eat when they are away from my computer. All of these apps sync to their particular websites so you have a well documented list of what you ate and when you ate it. Keeping track of calories is critical to the success of your personal fitness goals. These apps are also useful when you are out at a restaurant and you need to know if the food you are ordering is within the limits of the guidelines set forth in the P90X program. You could seriously damage your progress by ordering something that is high in calories and fat.
SO YOUR READY TO WORKOUT....THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOWThe size, timing, and content of your pre- and post-exercise meals and snacks can play an important role in your energy levels during your workout, how well your body recovers and rebuilds after your workout, and whether the calories you eat will be used as fuel or stored as fat. There are numerous studies out there on whether or not it is good to eat before exercising. Depending on your particular goals and your body type will determine if you should eat before a workout or not.
During the fat shredder stage of P90X, you may need to supplement your water during the workout. Mixing a supplement that contains carbohydrates into your water will give you that added boost you may need to get through those tough workouts.
Some may experience lactic acid build-up in their muscles and stomach. Other supplements may be used to offset this if this occurs.
During workouts you may find that your heart rate is rising. Knowing what fitness zone you are working and depending on your goals will depend on what fitness zone you want to work out in.
SO YOU’RE DONE WORKING OUT....THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
One of the most important part of any exercise routine is the recovery period. Rest and recovery is an essential part of any workout routine. Your after exercise recovery routine has a big impact on your fitness gains and sports performance and allows you to train much more effectively. Recovery after exercise is essential to muscle and tissue repair and strength building.
Studies showed that carbohydrates and protein combined using a 4:1 ratio is best.
After you've finished a workout your body is warm and your muscles are tight because they've been contracting over and over. Stretching immediately after a workout is the best time to lengthen your muscles which, in turn, will reap you huge benefits on the recovery end. DON'T SKIP THE COOLDOWN PORTION OF THE WORKOUT!!!!!!!
As always we need to add the disclaimer. Consult your doctor before starting any new workout plan.
Now... Let's stop talking and let's start BRINGING IT!!!!!
