If you are a fan of Insanity, but have not yet tried Asylum, the Beachbody Newsletter has a great article on the differences and similarities between the two. One of the biggest differences is the level of difficulty. Asylum is much harder than Insanity- but, don't fret- there is a 4 week prep schedule for Asylum to get you ready and make sure that you don't injure yourself by overdoing it.

Robert and Melissa’s fitness journey is not that different from most people except for the fact that they have been doing it together. The whole thing started when Robert found P90X on the internet back in 2005. When Robert first told Melissa that he had bought it, she was not too happy. Feeling that he has just wasted their money, she challenged him to get the same results that others had. Well, that was just the challenge that Robert needed. In those first 90 days with P90X and following the nutrition guide, Robert experienced incredible results, including 18 pounds lost, 17% body fat lost and seven inches around his waist lost. But it wasn’t so much about all that was lost, it was more about all that he gained. He gained his self-esteem, his self-image and his “swagger” back! Well, once Melissa saw what the program did for Robert, she was a believer and as you can see from her 90 day results, the program worked just as good for her as it did for Robert. And since that first 90 days with P90X, Robert and Melissa have been working out together, mixing in some other programs like P90X+, One-on-One, Insanity, Turbo Fire, ChaLEAN Extreme and more. Plus, with their daily Shakeology, they continue to maintain their healthy lifestyle and enjoy the opportunity to help others do the same as Independent Coaches for Team Beachbody.
Life has definitely been great for Robert and Melissa and they are excited to be able to help you get these types of results as well. Their coaching is free, just contact them.

For many people, junk food is not just an occasional indulgence but a true addiction. Our society does us no favors with its constant promotion of fast food, sweets and energy drinks. To simply say that we need to eliminate sugars and junk from our diets isn't enough- frankly, it's a hard task to take on. But, it's a necessary war to wage if you want to see dramatic changes in your appearance and over all well being. Denis Faye recently wrote a great article for the Beachbody newsletter in which he shared how he conquered his addiction to junk food. He states that it took him over 10 years to finally rid himself of his constant overeating and that it took a concerted effort to do so. The following are some of his tips to a healthier, junk-food-free life. To read the article in its entirety, including his story, head over the the Beachbody newsletter here.
6 Ways to Conquer Junk Food Habits
- Get rid of all the junk food that is in your home. You can't snack or binge on it if it's not there. Refill your empty shelves with healthy options like baby carrots, fresh fruit, etc.
- Strive for clean eating 80% of the time. The other 20% should be left to give yourself a break. The reality is, you will have moments of weakness. Faye suggests assigning one day a week to a treat- like Cookie Friday.
- Make eating healthy a ritual. Although there is no scientific proof, habits tend to form after about 21 days. So, make an effort to stick to your healthy snacking for that long and chances are the practice of healthy eating will become first instinct.
- Carry healthy foods with you. If you have a healthy option with you at all times you are less likely to grab whatever is available (typically cookies, fast food, or vending machine options).
- Adverse to certain fruits or veggies? Try some you've never had before so you don't have an opinion about them yet. Farmer's markets are full of variety- you are sure to find something you like.
- If you have to binge, do it on healthy options first. Fill up on fruits or veggies, so if the worst happens (i.e. ice cream or chips) you will have already filled up on the good stuff.
Obviously these tips may not work for everyone, but they offer any junk food junky a few ways to start on their journey to clean eating.
A few weeks ago Beachbody made a huge announcement...the pre-launch of Team Beachbody Canada. For the first time Canadian customers have the opportunity to become a Beachbody coach and grow their own businesses in their own country. While this new opportunity is exciting, there are a few important things to know if you are thinking of becoming a new coach. Per a FAQ by Beachbody, the company is still in the process of completing registration and regulatory approvals with the Canadian government. This means that until the official launch, which is anticipated to take place in early 2013, Canadian coaches will be operating a U.S. independent business. However, once the official launch occurs a Canadian resident's U.S. business will transfer to a Canadian business.
Despite a few technicalities, Canadian coaches will have all the benefits of being a part of Team Beachbody, including:
- Saving 25% on all Beachbody products.
- Earning a 25% commission on all products sold through coaches sites.
- Recruit U.S.. or Canadian citizens to become coaches.
- Access to all marketing and training tools.
- Compensation Plan
This is an exciting new phase for both current Beachbody coaches and Canadian citizens. The amazing products, community, and life change that comes with being a member of Team Beachbody is going to change Canada for the better!! We can't wait!
In case you missed it CEO Carl Daikeler and P90X man Tony Horton were on "The Doctors" Feb 2nd. They gave away 200 copies of P90X and 200 bags of Shakeology to everyone in the audience! Absolutely incredible! Check it out here!

Hey everyone, newly released by Beachbody is a long awaited PRE-WORKOUT drink! Yes, you've got your Results & Recovery drink for after, and now you have Energy and Endurance before hand! It's the perfect combination for maximum sports performance. Speaking from past experiences, I've tried other pre workout drinks but none of them have been as effective as this. Back when I've tried supplements such as 1MR and Jack 3d they would always give me the jitters and make me feel a little weird but Beachbody's E&E does not give me the jitters at all! It does exactly what it's supposed to do and that's give me the energy I need to complete the intense workouts of P90X2. Another huge benefit to this pre-workout drink over others is it actually tastes good!!
But I still haven't told you the greatest part so far! The PRICE!
Energy & Endurance is ONLY $22.46
And you can buy your own by clicking the photo, our buy button or right here!
This is an amazing price compared to other pre-workout drinks! Including the ones I listed earlier. GNC has Jack3d at a regular price of $42.99 and 1.M.R at a regular price of $64.99 so this new drink by Beachbody is a real deal!
Check out Melissa's video review of this amazing pre-workout drink!
We have all seen comparisons out there so we decided to do one of our own. Our official SHAKEOLOGY versus Body by Vi shake. For this test we wanted to not be bias so we used FoodFacts.com.
You can clearly see that Shakeology scored higher and it is in fact one of the highest scoring products on the website.
Let's look at them side by side.
Throughout the various comparisons that I've read the majority of them have had Shakeology on top. The only category that Body By Vi has won is in the taste category because some people say that the Shakeology is "too greenberry-y" or "too chocolaty". I don't think that's a bad thing at all. You purchase those flavors because you like them and even then you can always alter it by adding your fruits or other pleasures. Hands down here at the Hudgens household the winner is clearly Shakeology. A reason the Visalus shake may taste better is because they use artificial sweeteners as well. You pour enough of that into anything and it'll taste good.
So even though both companies are going for the same goal. Ending the trend of obesity. There is always a better, more efficient way of doing anything and that is with Shakeology.
