Just like an automobile needs gasoline (fuel) in order to operate at high levels of performance, your body needs the same thing. Glycogen, or sugar, is what your body uses as fuel. The same way that your car uses more fuel when you drive it "harder", so does your body. When you work out really hard your glycogen levels go down. Once it’s gone it needs to be regenerated but your body takes a little time doing so. One of the best ways to replenish your fuel, is with the help of a post-workout recovery drink.
Studies have shown that with the right nutrition during the very first hour after a workout, you can increase your bodies ability to recover dramatically. So a recovery drink is very important. If you don’t replenish your bodies fuel tank after a workout, then your body will need to find some source of fuel for energy and will break down the muscle. Muscle that you have worked long and hard to gain.
Of course it depends also on how hard your workout was. If it’s a light workout like X Stretch or something similar that’s a mild cardio workout then you don’t need a recovery drink because you’re not depleting your glocygen levels. You also need to think about if you really had a tough workout. With all the vitamins and antioxidants you need itll reduce muscle soreness and assist in repair and growth. I’ve been using the P90X recovery formula now for years and I always take one after a tough workout, which seems like an every day thing. :)
All right, so everyone has their own excuses for not working out, but usually it's the same one... " I just don't have the time." Well I’m here to tell you that if I can run a business, be a great husband and father to two boys (which includes taking them to practice and coaching their football teams) and I can still fit in AT LEAST one workout a day, then anyone can.
I think you need to look at why you want to workout. The only person you should be doing this for is yourself. That will give you the most motivation. You should workout and do it for YOURSELF so that YOU can be healthy, so that YOU can feel better, so that YOU can be more confident. See, it's about YOU!
So it comes down to time management. Whatever it may be that’s preventing you from bettering yourself you need to get over that. If you’re realistic, you can really squeeze in at least a 30 minute workout. Granted, everyone may not have time for the hour plus Yoga X in P90X, but you can work up a good sweat and burn some calories in a 30 min workout. Whether it’s half of a P90X video, maybe it’s a couple Ten Minute Trainers or something else, just do something every single day that gets your heart rate up and will keep it there for at least 30 min. On top of that, try to eat as cleanly as possible. Remember, 80% of the battle of the bulge is about diet and nutrition. You will never see the results of your hard work if your eating habits are poor. So, what's it worth to you? Are you willing to give up a little TV? Are you willing to wake up a little earlier? Are you willing to make small sacrifices so that you can feel better, look better and live longer? The answer should be obvious. Now, it's just your time to make it happen. Let's get started!
The latest video blog from P90X/health expert Robert Hudgens talking about making the right choices when opening your fridge. "Abs are made in the kitchen." - Tony Horton says and Robert gives you more information on how this is so true.
There are a lot of people out there who think Beachbody is some sort of scam or pyramid scheme. Through our experiences with Beachbody, Melissa and I can, with complete confidence, tell you that it’s not. Really, life is what you make of it. As with everything in life, you have people around you that bring a lot of negativity, no matter what you do. You have to choose whether you listen to them, whether you let them bring you down, or if you make your own decisions and do what it takes to be successful.
Case in point, we have a close friend named Michael who’s just getting started with Beachbody. His father isn’t very supportive and keeps telling him to be careful because he may get burned; that it may be some sort of pyramid scheme. Well, I can tell you that if he decides that he is going to do this full out and commits to staying the course; plus, if he follows what Melissa and I tell him to do, he will not only be successful in helping himself, he will help many, many others as well.
We get emails from customers and Coaches on a weekly basis, thanking us for all the help and guidance we have given them but honestly, they should be thanking themselves! They are doing all the hard work. Yes, a person needs to surround him/herself with positive people but what it boils down to is whether or not he/she is committed to do what it takes to make the change. With hard work and dedication comes success. No matter what. There are no shortcuts!
I haven’t always been a Beachbody success story myself. I’ve only been involved with Beachbody for five years but through hard work, dedication and with my wife Melissa at my side, we have built ourselves quite a life out of this business by helping hundreds of people change their lives for the better, both physically and financially. It is our mission to help people reach their goals and lead more healthy, fulfilling lives. So, if you think it's a scam by helping people, well, I question what a scam is. The proof is in the pudding, so they say. Look up Beachbody success stories and tell me if that is a scam or not. People helping people... that's Beachbody.

While we were away in LA for Summit 2011 we got more information on the upcoming release of P90X2. This workout is definitely a step up from P90X and is not for the faint of heart. Check out our video on YouTube for more information!
Being a native Texan I take pride in the Lone Star State, but did you know that over twenty-eight percent of Texans are considered obese. I feel that’s twenty-eight percent too much. The biggest contributor to this disease is fast food. People are on this “Super-Size Me” trend where they feel they want to get the most bang for the buck so they order the largest meal possible. If you went to McDonalds and got a Big Mac meal with the large fry and coke it’s a total of 1,580 calories for one meal that will only fill you up for a short period of time. In the burger alone there forty grams of fat and over seventy carbs.
Add on to that the cost being 7 plus dollars for the meal. After eating fast food you always feel sluggish and fat. But there is an amazing substitute. Shakeology is the key. One shakeology is the equivalent to going to a salad bar; 5 times. It’s got 140 calories with only 1gram of fat and nineteen carbs. It will fill you up, make you feel healthy and keep you going on about your day without a guilty conscious. When you eat like crap you feel like crap, but when you eat good you feel good.
Shakeology has over 70 ingredients in it each with it’s own unique benefit. From the protein and amino acids that help build lean muscle or optimize brain function to the digestive enzymes that help break down foods and increase absorption of nutrients. If you went out and bought all of the supplements in Shakeology: the digestive enzymes, anti-oxidants, phyto nutrients, vitamins and minerals, protein and amino acids and pre-biotics you’d be spending 200 plus dollars. One of the best parts of shakeology is the price, at only $4 a shake it doesn’t get any better! In this case less is definitely more. Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.
Shakeology is nationally known and popular as well. CEO and creator Darin Olien was interviewed by the people at Oprah magazine in the May 2011 issue Shakeology was quoted as being “…a crazy cornucopia of good.” The creator of Beachbody Carl Daikeler challenged Olien to make something that was the healthiest meal of the day and I believe he’s succeeded in every way. I personally use Shakeology and recommend it to everyone. There’s no need to go out and get the supersized jumbo anything. Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.
