Before starting P90x, Kelly was feeling bored with her exercise routine and was unhappy with her body, she thought it was as good as it was gonna get. After Kelly’s husband came home with the DVDs, she thought she would give it a try and that maybe this is what can get rid of those 5-10 pounds she had been complaining about the past few years. By following the P90x exercise program Kelly had better results that she expected. She lost 15 pounds, gained some muscle, and went from a size 8 to a size 4. Kelly talks about how the P90x nutrition plan was a big part of her success, this is what she had to say.

“The nutrition plan was a major factor in my transformation. It was scary to realize how little I actually knew about what I was putting in my body. With P90x I Learned how to fuel my body, those lessons I will take with me for the rest of my like.”

P90x Facebook Fan Page

P90x just passed the 200,000 “Likes” mark on its facebook page. It used to be a “fans” button but for some reason facebook has changed it to a “likes” button. Either way, that is a lot of people who “like” P90x. Less than 6 months ago I made a post about P90x reaching the 100,000 fans mark. This means that the popularity has doubled in less than 6 months. That is awesome! As a Beachbody Coach it is great to see such fast growth in a company, I’m very lucky to be a part of it.

So why is the P90x exercise program becoming so popular? The answer is simple, because P90x produces results. It is not like anyone forced all of these people to go out of their way to “like” P90x on their facebook profiles, these people genuinely love the product. Someone who is skeptic might say, “I bet all of the 200,000 people on facebook that “like” P90x are Beachbody Coaches that are just trying to build up some hype”. The problem with this statement is that there are currently only about 32,000 Beachbody Coaches. So even if every single Beachbody Coach “liked” P90x on facebook, there are still 170,000 other people out there that the love the product. The bottom line is that P90x is truly a great product that people love. P90x will undoubtedly have 1 million “likes” sometime in the future, I just wonder how long it will take to get there. My guess would be about a year or 2, we’ll see.

Mike Tyson On Day 1 Of P90x

Iron Mike, famous for biting off a chunk of Evander Holyfield’s ear, is doing P90x. He just tweeted (see the tweet) that he is starting the program and posted his “before” picture and says he will post another picture after 30 days. I’m excited to see Tyson’s results, growing up I was a huge fan of Mike Tyson and always loved watching him fight. I was especially a huge fan of his Nintendo game, Mike Tyson’s Punchout!, which I beat Click here to play the game.

Another big name added to the list of celebrities and professional athletes that are doing P90x. I’m sure Mike will have great results. Who knows, maybe his results will be so good that he’ll decide to make a comeback and take another shot at the title, how funny would that be?

Mike Tyson was such a sensation because he won his 19 professional fight by knockout with 12 of those knockouts occurring in the first round. He is ranked #16 on Ring Magazine’s list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.

No That's Not Me...But I Gotta Get That Outfit

Before doing the P90x exercise program I didn’t really know anything about yoga. All I knew was that there was no way I was going to be doing any yoga, to me, “yoga was for girls”.  I had no interest in yoga. I had always thought yoga was strictly for women and it was all about doing some silly stretches. Then I started P90x and on day 4 I was introduced to the yoga x workout. All my preconceived notions on yoga were shattered in those 90 minutes.

Yes, the yoga x workout is 90 minutes long, and it is tough. For me, it was probably one of the toughest workouts out of the entire 12 P90x workouts. But even being one of the hardest, I found that it was also one of the P90x workouts that I enjoyed the most. I’m not even sure why I like it so much, maybe because it is hard as hell or maybe because it is just a nice change of pace from the regular weight lifting I’ve done over the years.

Since P90x, I’ve learned that yoga isn’t “just for girls”. There are a ton of guys who do yoga, even professional athletes such as boxing great Evander Holyfield, Shaquille O’Neil, football greats Eddie George and Shannon Sharpe, and the entire roster of the LA Lakers just to name a few. If yoga is good enough for professional athletes, it is good enough for me, after all, being in tip top shape is their job. (To see a more detailed list of professional athletes that do yoga Click Here.)

Even though the yoga x work is tough, it is also very relaxing. The workout starts out intense, then gradually get easier. The last 10 minutes of the P90x yoga x workout is basically just laying and sitting on your yoga mat, breathing deeply and relaxing. Yoga has many benefits, I’ve found that is great for improving flexibility and also a great stress reliever. I’m glad I chose to do P90x, overall I love it, had great results with it, Became a Beachbody Coach because of it, and it introduced me to yoga.

Have you done yoga? What did you think of it? Leave us a comment below?

Michelle Obama Uses P90x

Ever wonder how Michelle Obama got those ripped up arms? My guess would be that she does the P90x Shoulders and Arms Workout…Yes it is true, Michelle Obama does do P90x. The first lady doing P90x, who would of thought this workout would become as popular as it has. And this isn’t just hearsay. The news that Michelle Obama does P90x came straight from the President’s mouth. The CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler, was lucky enough to meet the President yesterday and this is how their conversation went:

At once the door swung open, and in walked Obama. He gave a quick hello and a hug to Mark and then he walked straight up to Jon who said “Hello Mr. President we’re the co-founders of Beachbody – This is Carl Daikeler. You might know our products like P90X.”

With that Obama moves in and grabs my hand in a handshake and says “P90X! My wife does that. Man, I can hardly keep up with her!”

Carl writes all about his meeting with the President in his blog post that you can find here (Click Here). Later on in the evening, Carl has an encounter with one of Obama’s security guys, he gives him a card and find out that the guy is 2 weeks into P90x, and from his words, “the entire White House is using P90x”.

Michelle Obama may be the biggest name yet added to the list of celebrities and athletes that do P90x. Once again, more proof that the P90x exercise program works and is here to stay.

We have all see the commercial or know someone that is doing it…P90x. P90x has become a household name. But how can someone make money with P90x? Many people don’t know that the company that distributes P90x, Beachbody, has a home business opportunity. Instead of calling them distributors, Beachbody calls those involved Independent Beachbody Coaches. Coach is just another name for distributor, or Independent business owner (IBO). Don’t be confused by the term “Coach”, Beachbody Coaches are not required to actually coach people and do not need to be fitness experts or even in shape. However, as a Beachbody Coach, you may be contacted by your customers with questions on Beachbody products, but as a business owner this is expected.

So how does a Beachbody Coach make money?

Beachbody Coaches earn a 25% commission on most Beachbody products. The great part about retailing the products is that all sales are made through the Beachbody Store that Coaches get when they sign up. The site a Coach gets looks the this (See My Replicated Beachbody Site). This means that as a Beachbody Coach, I don’t need to worry about buying inventory, shipping the products, or even billing the customer, Beachbody does all of that for me. Once a sale is made, all I have to do is wait for the check to come in the mail.One P90x sale will earn a Beachbody Coach $30. If I sell just one P90x a week and that adds up to more than $120 a month, not bad.

There is also another way to make money as a Beachbody Coach, by building a team of Beachbody Coaches. By recruiting or sponsoring other Coaches, your are able to earn team cycle bonuses on all of the volume of everyone in your organization, which could be hundreds and even thousands of Coaches. By building a team of Coaches, there is potential to earn a very sizable income, the earning potential is unlimited.

So not only can you make money with the P90x exercise program, you can make money from Insanity, Chalean Extreme, Shakeology, Turbo Fire, any Beachbody product.

For those of you thinking about buying P90x and want to see what is actually involved, you will want to see the video below. It shows almost every move done in the entire P90x exercise program. It is me in the video, I did leave out a few moves because I wanted to keep the video under youtube’s 10 minute time constraint. I also tried to add some things to make it a little more entertaining and humorous.

P90x is a great workout because it incorporates all aspects of fitness. As you will see in the video, P90x involves a lot of push ups, pull ups, weight training, plyometrics, cardio, yoga, and stretching. As a whole, the workout hits every body part imaginable, and some body parts you didn’t even know you had.

New England Patriots Cheerleaders Use P90x In Their Workouts

In between plays everyone loves to watch cheerleaders. They are always in such great shape and I often wonder what they do to get that way. Maybe they just have great genes and are born that way, maybe the only eat salads with no dressing, maybe they do P90x. I’ll go with the latter, according to www.projo.com, the New England Patriots’ cheerleaders have been using P90x to get in shape. Maybe if we can get Tom Brady to do a round of P90x the Partiots can win another Super Bowl, it’s been about 5 years since he won his last ring.

Behind the tight abs and toned arms of the New England Patriots cheerleaders are months of circuit training, running ramps, kicks, and workouts including the famed grueling and effective P90X Exercise Program, according to the squad’s director/choreographer, Warwick’s Tracy Sormanti.

“The Patriots cheerleaders work extremely hard to stay fit,” says Sormanti. “Six sets of eight kicks, running the ramps at the stadium, and their own personal workouts are key components to their fitness programs.

“Couple that with a ‘no junk food policy’ in the locker room, which carries over into their personal lives, and it lends to overall healthiness,” Sormanti says. “That gives these women a feeling a confidence and empowerment — you look good, feel good, you perform even better.”

Their bodies are proof, P90x does work. It seems as if P90x is becoming a household name and is being mentioned in the media on a daily basis. Everyone for your everyday Joe Sixpack who lost 60 pounds and got ripped in 90 days, or the professional athlete who is having the best season of his career after doing a round of P90x, everyone seems to be doing P90x. Are you next?

Chelsie Hightower Does Ab Ripper X

Another name added to the list of celebrities and professional athletes doing P90x. Chelsie Hightower, from Dancing With The Stars.

If you’ve seen the hit show, Dancing With The Stars, you’ve probably noticed what great shape the professional dancers are always in. One of those dancers, Chelsie Hightower, recently credited P90x as one of the workouts she does to stay in shape in a interview with Fitness magazine.

This is what Chelsie had to say on what keeps her fit:

“I like to mix things up by taking jazz, ballet and contemporary dance classes that are an hour and a half each. I also do the P90X Ab Ripper X DVD. Plus, I walk uphill near my home in Beverly Hills, stopping to do some lunges and push-ups to keep my heart rate up.”

P90x’s Ab Ripper X workout is a 15 minute workout that focuses on the ab and core. It is made up of about 12 different exercises that can be done without any weights or special equipment. I’ve done Ab Ripper X myself and seen great strength gains in my stomach and core.

From the looks Chelsie’s body, whatever she is doing is definitely working. I normally don’t watch Dancing With The Stars, but after getting a look at Chelsie, I think I’m in love and they just got one more viewer.

Chelsie Hightower From Dancing With The Stars

P90x is made up of 12 different workouts. One of the workouts is Ab Ripper X. The Ab Ripper X workout focuses the abs and core and is a tough workout. The thing that makes Ab Ripper X so tough is that it is done immediately after another workout. For example, you’ll complete the P90x Chest and Back workout, which is about 53 minutes long, then go on to the Ab Ripper X workout, which is about 15 minutes long.

In the first couple of weeks of the P90x exercise program, you will be pretty exhausted after the workouts, so when it comes time for Ab Ripper X, it can be pretty challenging. The key is to not get discouraged and to take Tony Horton’s advice, “Do your best, and forget the rest.”

Ab Ripper X is made up of 13 different exercise moves, 25 reps each. In the beginning most people will find that 25 reps is just too hard, so I would recommend starting  out with a lower number of reps, even as low as 5 -10 and work your way up. When I first started out doing Ab Ripper X, I only did 10 reps while Tony Horton and the others on the video did 25. This also gave me a little more rest time in between sets. When 10 reps got to be easy I moved up to 12 reps, then 15, reps, and eventually I was able to complete Ab Ripper X doing the complete 25 reps and keeps up with Tony in the video. On day one I thought there was no way I would ever be able to complete Ab Ripper X doing all the moves, I was able to do it in about 60 days.

So, unless you are already in great shape, Ab Ripper X will be  tough workout to keep up on. Just do your best and you’ll be surprised at ow much you improve over time. You will be surprised at what persistent hard work can achieve over time.
