Logging Exercise in MFP

If you know me you know how great I think myfitnesspal is.  It’s a great website/app that I think is super useful.  Logging your food has really never been easier.  The database of foods they have is amazing, and there’s even a bar-code scanner that will pull in all the...

Honey Cumin Chicken Rec...

I was on the Team Beachbody website and saw this recipe and thought it was too good to not pass on.  It’s a perfect summer dish and will keep you on track with your nutrition, especially if you’re on the Fat Shredder plan from P90X.   Recipe: Honey Cumin Chicken (Makes 4...

Weekly Check-In

Hey Team! I know it’s been two weeks since my last check-in.  I was in South Carolina last week on vacation and tried to stay fairly unplugged.  It was definitely a refreshing trip and I really loved checking out that state.  But I’m back now and have been hitting the...

Beachbody Sales in June

Lately Team Beachbody has been coming out with new sales every month.  Typically it’s been discounts on certain Challenge Packs but this month they’re doing even more.  The Beachbody sales in June are awesome, but some of them only last a week.   So if you want to take...

It’s a Marathon N...

I see this time and time again, especially when people are new to a workout program.  Two things can be very detrimental to their motivation.  First, they want to see results right now.  Someone starts doing Insanity for a week and thinks they should have lost 10 lbs already.  If that...

Kale Chips Recipe

Kale Chips Recipe If you love salty snacks but want to ditch the potato chips, kale chips are a great option.  They’re super easy to make and a great substitute for the other junk food out there.  I make these pretty frequently and always wish I made more. Ingredients: ½ bunch of...

Recovering From an Inju...

When you’re active, and especially if you are participating in sports, injuries will most likely happen.  They’ve happened to me, that’s for sure.  They suck, but it’s just part of life sometimes.  What’s important is how you come back from an injury.  I...

Weight Vests

I know some of you might be thinking, “weight vests?!  I don’t think I’m trying to lose weight not gain it!”  And I totally understand this post won’t be for everyone.  If you’re just getting started or have your main focus as weight loss, using a...

New Greenberry Shakeolo...

Recently Beachbody made a big announcement about the new Greenberry Shakeology.  In case you missed it, they reformulated that flavor, adding some more super-foods and making it sweeter.  In the past Greenberry has been the black sheep of all Shakeology flavors, but Carl Daikeler and...

Weekly Check-In

Hi Team! Happy Wednesday and sorry it’s been 2 weeks since I checked in with you!  I was traveling for work and couldn’t send out the check-in from my phone like I thought I could.  So I hope you all have been rocking it these last 2 weeks.  I don’t travel much for...

Metabolic Damage

Weekly Check-In

Happy Wednesday Team! Anyone else think it’s crazy that it’s May 1st today?  That means that 2013 is already 1/3 done.  Now think back to the beginning of the year.  Did you set some New Year’s Resolutions for yourself?  How are you doing with those?  Are you making...

Staying Consistent

When you’re just starting a workout program it can be really easy to be pumped up about it.  You don’t miss a workout, you stick with the nutrition plan and you start to see results.  But then eventually you lose that initial motivation and get a little off track.  You skip...

Ultimate Reset – ...

There are tons of cleanses and detoxes out there claiming to help you lose weight.  But how many of them have actually gone through a clinical study?  I sure haven’t heard of many.  That’s why I think it’s pretty cool that the New York College of Chiropractice...

Weekly Check-In

Heart Rate Zones

I just had a conversation with a co-worker the other day about heart rate zones and get asked about it fairly frequently so I wanted to write up an article on the topic.  If you’re familiar with Insanity or P90X, you’ll hear Shaun T and Tony tell you to “check your...

BCAA’s

One popular supplement that you might have heard about lately is BCAA’s.  I didn’t know much about what a BCAA supplement was used for or even contained until this past year.  So I figured I would do a write up of the basics and when/why I use my BCAA supplement in case you...

Weekly Check-In

Happy Wednesday team! I hope your weeks are all going well!  My work schedule is finally getting back to normal which I’m excited about.  Getting up at 4 to workout is pretty early…  But if you’re in our Facebook group, you know we have several people pushing play...

I am really excited to show off one of Team New Body’s best transformations.  Pete decided to start P90X and quit smoking at the same time!  Talk about turning your health around!  It has been incredibly fun to chat with him as he’s gone through the program and to see him...

Cheat Meals

Cheat meals are a topic I haven’t talked about for a little while.  But I think it’s something that’s important to address.  If you’re on my team, you know how much I talk about the importance of nutrition.  It’s going to account for roughly 80% of your...

Weekly Check-In

P90X Body Beast Hybrid ...

This past week I finally finished up my P90X Body Beast hybrid, so I wanted to share my results from the hybrid and also my thoughts on how it’s laid out.  I really had a lot of fun with this schedule and I think the programs complement each other pretty well, so it was a pretty...

Shakeology Trial Pack

This is something totally new for me, but I’m excited to see how it goes.  One thing I’ve noticed when it comes to Shakeology is that people can be a little wary of spending $130 when they’re not really sure they like something.  There is always the 30 day money back...

Beast Meatballs

This post comes from one of Team New Body’s first members, Aaron.  He whipped up the meatballs from Body Beast and said they were awesome so I decided I’d post the recipe.  They look pretty easy to make and delicious!  These make a great, protein packed...

Weekly Check-In

Beachbody Challenge Pac...

Maybe you haven’t noticed it yet, but on the Team Beachbody website, they have totally revamped their Beachbody Challenge links and I think have a much more user-friendly layout now.  So I wanted to highlight a few things that you might find really helpful as you look to reach your...

Assault Review

I’m an early morning workout guy, so sometimes it does feel like I need a little extra kick to get going in the morning.  So it can be really helpful to use a pre-workout (PWO) as they are intended to get you focused and energized for your workout.  I’ve tried a number of...

Weekly Check-In

Hi team! Happy Wednesday!  Can’t believe this is the last check-in for March, it’s crazy how time is flying!  But I’m definitely ready for spring/summer to be here and for the temps to get a little warmer.  It feels like it’s warming up slightly so I think...

Focus T25 Preview

Shaun T just released some info about a new program that he’s coming out with that looks pretty exciting!  It’s called Focus T25 and looks like it will be just 25 minutes a day 5 days a week.  So it’s structured quite a bit different than his other programs like...

P90X2 Asylum Hybrid

Still With Us?

Do you ever fall off the bandwagon with your workouts or nutrition?  It’s mid way through March right now and I know many people have lost their drive they had at the beginning of 2013.  You might have been totally pumped up and ready to go at the beginning of the year, looking to...

New Tab – Success...

From time to time I like to feature people who have really knocked it out of the park and had great success reaching their goals.  I know it’s really motivating for me to see other people who have really worked hard and have had a lot of success.  Plus, I know those people are...

Beachbody Deals In Marc...

Feeling Sick?

As you eat healthier and workout more, one huge benefit you’ll notice is that you get sick less.  Fewer colds, less indigestion, etc.  Your immune system is strengthened when you’re feeding your body what it needs and you’re better able to fight off things that might...

Shakeology Price Change...

sFor the last 4 years Shakeology has stayed constant as far as price goes.  The whey protein formulas, Original Chocolate and Greenberry, have been $119 for that long.  So inevitably there was going to be a Shakeology price change.  So I just want to make it clear as to what the change...

Weekly Check-In

Good morning team! How is your week going?  Are you staying strong, sticking with your workouts and nutrition?  If not, there’s still time to turn this week around and finish it well.  But take it one day at a time.  It can be daunting to think about not cheating on your diet...

What You Need For P90X ...

When you’re just getting started out or thinking about doing P90X, you’re probably wondering what you need for P90X from an equipment standpoint.  Do you need a bunch of fancy stuff or is there a more basic setup?  Weights, pull-up bars, etc can add up quickly, so I wanted...

Setting Goals

I know I talk about this quite a bit, but setting goals is one of the most important things you can do when you’re just starting out.  Whether you’re trying to lose weight, improve your mile time, lose fat, etc. it’s always critical that you have something specific in...
