How Do I Get Fit - P90X, Insanity and Beachbody Coaching. You can change your body. This is the place to start.

Fire It Up Friday arrives hot and made to order. This Friday’s focus: The Scale. I’ve mentioned it before but… “One of the benefits of fitness is “looking good”. Nobody wants to “weigh good” and yet that’s exactly what so many fixate on: numbers on a scale. I’ve given that topic well-deserved evil eye right…

P90X = tough. Insanity = tough. Modification = tough… but easy on the ego. Lemme explain: When you’re beginning any fitness program, you’ll be doing a lot of things you’ve never done before. Your body may not be used to doing an hours worth of push-up variations. Your muscles may not be strong enough to…

Walk into any GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and there’s no doubt Nutritional Supplements play a major role in not only the journey of getting fit and looking awesome but also in fueling their very own niche economy. Supplements are big money and heavily advertised with each being touted as incredibly effective and an absolute game-changer. …

I promised to keep you up to date on all the latest when it came to Body Beast (Beachbody’s mass building program) and maaaaaan… I’m not lyin’. Needless to say, for the guys out there wanting to add mass, Body Beast is highly anticipated. The program is dropping very, very soon (like, June 2012 soon)…

If I’m being honest (and I am), I almost turned Les Mills Pump: Sports Attack off at about 20 seconds in. I think my exact words were along the lines of, “Oh… NO. No freakin’ WAY I’m doing this…” And of course by “this” I meant a side to side step, Jazz hands workout. Still,…

So… Tony “P90X2” Horton. Love him or want to put earplugs in, I’m a fan. The dude is down to earth and a genuinely cool guy which you can get a pretty decent glimpse of with this interview he recently did on G4′s “Attack of The Show”. But look– you know me, I’m not just…

I’ll make this simple: NO. Activity, pushing hard and torching calories all day every day is great but all sweat and no rest does your body more harm than good. There’s a reason P90X, Insanity and even The Asylum include Recovery weeks. Rest is when your body rebuilds. Rest is when you recover. Rest is…

If you’re beginning P90X or simply want to melt fat relatively quickly no matter what program you’re after, you’re most likely bombarded with “Up your protein, Bro!” And while there’s some sense to this when applied correctly, the amount of protein you may take in might increase when you start on a P90X Fat Shredder…

Cheat meals are a hot topic. You’ve got one side that equates a cheat meals with kicking the dog or drowning kittens and you’ve got the other who prop it up as a point of sanity and keeping your body in check to avoid your metabolism and hypothalamus “normalizing”. Thing is, they’re both well intentioned….

Good carbs vs. Bad Carbs. It’s a battle of the ages (or at least, the last few years) and one where most people find themselves caught standing in the middle. And the “good/bad”simplification doesn’t help either–Good Carbs/Bad Carbs is so general as to be confusing to itself. After all, what qualifies a carb as “bad”…
