Workouts To Go: Another Benefit Of Doing Beachbbody

Had you been able to peek in on my vacation last week you might've seen some water-tubing, kayaking, swimming, or some other water related activity.

You would also have seen me working on my PiYo moves. On the lawn. On the dock. Indoors if it was raining. And that's one of the great things about Beachbody's programs—they can be done anywhere! They don't require any weights or gym equipment, just you, some time, and a little motivation.

By taking PiYo up to the lake with me I was able to keep up on my fitness goals, but I also wasn't wasting money on a gym membership that I couldn't use for a week because of my vacation. In fact, thanks to the marvelous world of Facebook, I was able to stay in touch with my workout buddies.

Another great thing about working out up at the lake is after a long, sweaty bout of PiYo I was able to go for a nice, refreshing dip :-)

I am super pumped to be starting my first fitness challenge group today, and I have an awesome group of men and women who have decided to join me! I am already thinking about the next group I will host, so if you missed out on this one don't worry. You can join me soon!

I am loving this whole Beachbody coaching thing so much that I've decided to start a separate blog focusing more on healthy living and fitness.

I'll let you know as soon as it goes live, so be sure to follow me if you that's your thing.

Beachbody: Curse Those T-Shirt Nazis!

Apparently when you complete a Beachbody workout you get a free t-shirt. Or... wait. Let me rephrase that. Apparently when you complete a Beachbody workout you CAN get a free t-shirt. Apparently in order to do so you need to submit before and after pictures showing your physical transformation. Apparently these pictures need to be accompanied by weekly weight measurements and include inches lost around legs, waist, and arms. Apparently if you neglect to do this—like I have—Beachbody won't give you a free t-shirt. That's right. You get nothing. Nadda. Zip. They're like t-shirt nazis. "No t-shirts for you!" That's a Seinfeld reference, by the way. Well I've completed my nine weeks of Sean T.'s Insanity. It kicked my butt more often than not, but I deserve a free t-shirt! So I'm going to do what any formerly rational adult male who has been made mentally insane from Sean T.'s ridiculous workout routine—I'm going to do it again. Nine more weeks of nut-so workouts. This time I'll follow the t-shirt nazi's strict regiment—step to the left, speak clearly, no extraneous comments—and submit the required information because, dagnabbit, I want my t-shirt! Thanks to my wife so willingly signing up to be a Beachbody coach, we now get a discount on workout programs. We've recently gotten our hands on a whole bunch—PiYo, T25, P90X3, 21 Day Fix—and they all come with free t-shirts providing you properly document your progress. I don't know what's come over me, but I'm determined to get my sweaty paws on those t-shirts, so I'm going to pound my body through every workout and document what is sure to be a Shrek-to-Hulk transformation to appease the nazis at Beachbody. Some may call me a glutton for punishment, but in actuality I just have a high tolerance for pain—I suppose that's why I've been able to live in the northeast for as long as I have. Anyway...

Dani was recently telling me a story she heard about a fellow Beachbody coach who was walking through the airport one day wearing one of her Beachbody P90X shirts when many people started a conversation around how hard P90X is. First it was the cab driver, then the TSA agent, then the lady at the terminal, then another and another. By the time she boarded her plane she had contact information for eight potential clients.

So getting these t-shirt isn't just proof of accomplishment, but it can also draw in business.

But clients or no clients, I'm getting my free t-shirts!
