Some time ago now I wrote a small entry in my blog regarding Tony Horton’s One on One series put out by Beachbody. If you missed it you can check it out HERE.

Once again Tony and Beachbody have stepped it up yet again (if that’s possible) with a new series I’m sure many of you may be interested in.

Many of you if not all are familiar with, have heard of or have done Tony Horton’s world famous P90X program, some of you even went on to do his P90X+ workouts.

Well once again Tony has upped the ante for us, Tony has just created a brand new series called “P90X One on One”. So now if you have the question what shall I do after I finish P90X? Now it’s a no brainer – P90X One on One! =)

Just like Tony’s regular One on One Series, these videos/workouts are totally unscripted without any supporting cast which was filmed in his own personal gym out in sunny California!

Similar to the P90X workouts, P90X One on One workouts are about 50 to 60 minutes as well. Tony really mixes up the intensity in the workouts to really challenge you, for insatance he test his own personal limits with a plyo pushup while balancing his feet and hands on stability balls!! What?? - this guy is amazing!

So if you are a P90X or P90X+ grad and are looking for more of Tony Horton’s trademark muscle confusion workouts then you need to get on this ASAP.

What’s really nice is that if you subscribe to the “P90X One on One” program and purchase all (12) disks of Volume 3 then you will get a 50% discount on P90X :MC2 when it becomes availible.

Yep, I promise this will be the last I post on this past weekends Tony Horton’s P90X super saturday event that I was lucky enough to attend.

I have just put together a video from the day that I wanted to share with you. I didn’t get a lot of video of the actual workouts due to the fact that, well I was actually doing them! But I did manage to grab some cool video from the day.

Not sure what I’m talking about with this event? Just read the posts below where I explain everything about the experience I had with the P90X creator himself.

I hope you enjoy the video half as much as I enjoyed being there ; )

Till next time……….

Take care of yourself,

Well,

Spending the day with Tony Horton and about 325 other people interested in either getting fit or keeping fit and living a healthy lifestyle was just an amazing experience! 

The event was very well organized by Tony Horton’s sister Kit which I’m sure really took some planning to pull everything off without a hitch. Along with having Tony there to give his seminar and workouts he also had his full time chef Melissa Costello there to talk about learning to eat for optimal health and wellness. So there was so much to enjoy and take in so much so unless you taped the whole day it’s tough to think of all the stuff that was done and discussed.

All of the seminars and talks took place inside the college auditorium and all of the workouts took place outside under this huge tent which was a very cool experience, it was an absolutely beautiful day weather wise. Having Tony lead the workouts front and center under the tent with all of the other people was just cool in every way, something I had never experienced before and something I hope I can certainly experience again!

 We were lucky enough to do not just one but two P90X workouts, the morning workout was a cardio based workout with a mix of just about everything , kicking, punching, plank work, jumping and on and on. Reminded me of a mix between the P90X workout Plyometrics and cardio X.

The second workout “YOGA” came in the afternoon and this one certainly isn’t my strong suit but I just showed up and did my best. Man let me tell you for those that never tried Yoga before – wow you need to! Although I’m as flexible as the tin man it is one incredible workout, you wouldn’t think just holding positions would be tough - HA! give it a try I was dripping in sweat just trying to make it through. For those of you that would feel funny about trying it at a Yoga studio for the first time (like me) P90X has a kick ass Yoga workout that you can do right in your own living room so you won’t feel embarrassed when you don’t make it 20 minutes in:) This P90X workout really gives you a taste what it’s all about and Tony SWEARS by this workout which he calls the fountain of youth!

So before I go I have to say this, if there is a Beachbody event taking place anywhere around where you live – GO! Whether you are a Beachbody coach, customer or neither you need to go to one of these events and meet the different people and feel the energy, it will be the best day you’ve had in some time I promise.  The seminars are very motivating and informative as well = ) Knowledge is POWER!

I will be putting together a short video with clips from this great day that I will be posting soon so keep checking back for that ; )

I will also be sending out in my next newsletter Tony Horton’s “11 laws of health and fitness” which I got directly from the man himself so you definitely don’t want to miss that, just get signed up for my free newsletter above to enjoy it!

Till next time…..

Well I only have 1 more day left to the big day! What? What big day? Let me tell ya, I recently found out that the man himself Tony Horton is coming to a college in a nearby town where I live for  full day of P90X seminars and workouts. Woohoo! count me in, I couldn’t sign up quick enough I feel like a kid the night before Christmas.

I will be lucky enough to have a early morning workout along with about 350 other people, enjoying seminars have lunch and then have a afternoon yoga workout with Tony Horton. Best yet at the end of the day you get to meet Tony and have your picture taken with him, I just think being able to meet him will help keep me motivated and pushing forward with my workouts as well as my coaching business. I really admire what Tony has done and how he has done it, he seems like a very cool down to earth guy. I really wonder if this guy bleeds? Watching him do pull-ups I swear he’s a robot so maybe I’ll be able to confirm that at the Saturday event?

For those of you that don’t know Tony or who he is (I’m not sure there are any people out there that have not heard of him) the creator and mastermind behind the P90 at home workout program and the ever popular P90X program. With the company Beachbody teaming up with Tony to help get this amazing workout program put together and advertised so that they could bring to us. I personally never heard of Tony Horton or Beachbody for that matter before I got my copy of P90X and saw what it was all about.

Tony and Beachbody’s CEO Mr. Carl Daikeler has literally helped changed so many lives so quickly it really pretty amazing, just log into Beachbody’s website and check out the THOUSANDS of people and see for yourself the one’s that have made the commitment, did the hard work and finished one these programs and have dropped an amazing amount of weight beacuse of it – it’s really amazing and very motivating as well.

So I will let you know how the event goes and I will also be posting some pictures and videos as well.

Till then…..

Keep working hard to reach YOUR goals!

Ah yes, some good ole MMA training just to help keep things fun. Yes I’m still going strong with my Beachbody RevABS program but I plan on doing some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training once a month just for fun.

I use to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a number of years back, nothing serious I thought it would be a fun and different kind of workout and yes that’s exactly what I got, all of those things – talk about a workout wow! It’s pretty amazing to me to think of all these fighters that train full time to do this I tip my hat to them, talk about commitment as well as the phenomenal shape they must keep your body in. This brings me as to why I am writing this post today.

While surfing around the net this morning I happened to checked out this site that I regularly frequent on occasion to see what’s new and wanted to bring it to your attention for good reason. Like I’ve said numerous times before, I truly believe that mixing up your workouts is one of  the key ingredients to getting the results your looking for. If you’re currently doing a Beachbody program like RevABS or any other fitness program for that matter - that’s great! Don’t stop and keep going but there’s no law saying you can’t throw something else in the mix here and there to help keep it interesting and fun.

The web site that I really like is called meetup.com., and no it’s not a dating site! Before you run off to check this site out let me just fill you in a little bit as to why I think this site is so good and how you could benefit. This site is great because it gives you the opportunity to see what groups are already formed and are active in and around the area where you live. There are so many different groups to choose from but I just want to focus mainly on some of the many fitness groups available. There are running groups, walking groups, biking groups, hiking and the list just goes on and on. The one I just joined this weekend is an MMA training group which gets together once a month for a free workout at their facility – with no strings attached. What a great way to get in a different workout and it’s free! That’s one of the nice things about these groups, some are free but some are not so do some looking around and see what’s available where you live and see if there is something that interests you.

Why not take advantage of some of these free workout groups, meet some new people and maybe try something different than the your norm and most of all make fitness fun so it doesn’t seem like such a chore to burn those calories:) With the weather starting to turn nice now we can take advantage of the many things we can now do outdoors comfortably.

Well I hope this helps you on your fitness journey and let me know if you try one of these groups. I will certainly update you on how mine goes as I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been awhile since I’ve been put in a choke hold or arm-bar:)

Till next time ……..

Take care,

In today’s blog I want to share with you just how you can decrease running times with the help from Beachbody Insanity program.

 As a Beachbody coach, just a couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of having a table at a local road race representing all of the wonderful items that Beachbody has to offer. It was a cold, windy and rainy day but that didn’t stop the 150 + runners that showed up that day to do what they love.

The one thing that really stood out to me that day was how dedicated these people are to what they are doing which was just great to see. I wrote about this topic in a previous blog Weight Loss- How to lose it and keep it off, mindset is SO crucial no matter what your passion is. Whether it’s pumping iron at the gym, biking, running – whatever, if you’re not passionate about what your doing then chances are you won’t be doing it for very long. Bottom line is, find something you like doing and you feel passionate about and that will equate to results! Another thing – don’t be afraid to try something new you never know what you may discover. Such as the gentleman that I spoke to that day discovered. He decided to give something new a try and he had amazing results from it as you’ll read about in his story below.

 Oops I got a little of track with where I was going with my story:) back to my day at the race! I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great people that day, one person in particular that I met was very friendly and had a great personal story he wanted to share with me. It had to do with his introduction to Beachbody, the Insanity program to be exact and how doing the program he was able to decrease his running times immensely. Well I won’t go over his story in full I’ll let you read it for yourself. I think you will find it as inspirational as I did. I was glad that he gave me permission to use it as I truly believe that it can help inspire many other people out there that feel like they are in the same shoes (no pun intended).

 Here’s his amazing story!

Hello Kevin,

 I wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you at the Raynham 5 Miler a couple weeks ago.  At the time, I had mentioned that I had just finished the Insanity Workout program.  I thought I would write a few lines to let you how happy I have been with the improvement the program has been to me with my road racing.

 I am 54 years old and have been running routinely now for the last 10 years.  I run about 25 to 30 races a year.  In between the races, I generally run two to three times a week.  Through the fall of last year, I was running two to three miles every morning in effort to improve my times.  But I seemed to have hit a wall with times not getting any better. 

 A couple weeks before Christmas I saw the Insanity Infomercial on TV and ordered the program.  I figured that all the running I was doing was only working the same muscles and that I needed something else.  The workouts were hard but I could feel myself getting more fit with each week completed.  I did the diet and lost about fifteen pounds over the course of the program. 

 As a result my 5K times are about 2 minutes faster the my times from last year.  This month I also ran two five mile races each setting a personal record times for each event.  Both of those races I beat last year’s times by 6 minutes.  The reason I have been able to improve my times is that I have been able to maintain my pace throughout the race.  I always had a very good first mile but my times would drop off at the splits.  Now I am able to maintain the pace throughout the race. 

 I would recommend Insanity to anyone who really wants to improve their fitness and times. 

 Best regards,

Gary

Well I have changed my mind, which happens from time to time:) What changed my mind?? Well my RevABS fitness program from Beachbody has just arrived! I had just started my second round of P90X but I am really anxious to try out this new program so I am putting the X on the back shelf just for the moment.

This new workout program is geared mainly on working your abs through a series of weight training and cardio workouts and who wouldn’t love to see some abs pop through? Like most of the other Beachbody programs, this program is also 90 days long. I plan on writing a full review soon as well as a video series on the entire program once I get myself through all of the workouts and finish reading all the materials that come with the program.

So till next time get up off the couch and get moving! You can do it and I want to help you, get in touch with me ASAP if you need/want any help:)

Take care of yourself,

First off I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!!

Yup it’s that time, I need to jump on that bandwagon that everyone is boarding. You know the one right? …. Correct!! the new year resolution bandwagon.

These past two month have been probably the worst for me this past year as far as diet and workouts are concerned. Once I slip just that little bit and get myself mentally unfocused it’s VERY tough for me to get myself back on track the way I want to -  it’s a struggle. I’m sure most of you can relate to this senario for sure. So after gaining a “few” extra pounds and feeling really horrible with myself compared to how I felt previously it’s time for me to stop the downslide.

This is why I have put together my 2010 Beachbody transformation contest. Not only can I get myself back on track but anyone that jumps on board with me will get my undivided attention to help you stay on track as well and get yourself into the shape that you desire. Not to mention some of the nice prizes I will be handing out just for fun:) See the 2010 body transformation page for all the details. 

I personally will be doing my 2nd round of P90X which I started just last night. In my opinion P90X is one of the best workout programs out there. This program really jump starts your body in such a short time compared to the typical gym routines that most people do that seem to give you little results for all the time and $ spent. If you join my body transformation challenge feel free to use the Beachbody program of your choice whatever you feel comfortable with and it works for you that’s fine with me.

So I really hope to see you in the transformation contest! Now is the time to make that change, not just for the next few weeks or months but for life!

For your health!!

Kevin

P90X Reviews Part 3 – Plyometrics

Ah yes P90X’s Plyometrics, this one works you for sure! This workout is approximately one hour in length as well with a warm-up which feels more like its part of the workout. Depending on your fitness level, at first this workout may be difficult to finish maybe some will say nearly impossible but no worries by the time you finish the program you just may enjoy doing this routine. I know I have.

Plyometrics which Tony refers to as jump training and yes there is ALOT of jumping around. He also refers to this workout as the “mother” of all the workouts (that says it all). Like all the other P90X workouts the people working out alongside Tony show you the different levels to which you can do the exercises which is great because it allows you the chance to do the workout at a lower intensity if you wish until a time where you feel more comfortable with going at it full guns.

With this workout you will do (4) exercises then you will repeat them again before doing the next set of (4) different exercises then again repeat and so on.

Here’s a breakdown/order of all the crazy movements you will do in this workout.

1) Jump squat
2) Run-stance squat
3) Airborne Heisman
4) Swing kicks

Repeat exercises 1 thru 4

Then you will do:
5) Squat reach jump
6) Run stance squat switch pick-up
7) Double airborne Heisman
Circle run

Repeat exercises 5 thru 8

Then you will do:
9) Jump knee tuck
10) Mary Katherine lunges
11) Leapfrog squats
12) Twist combo

Repeat exercises 9 thru 12

Then you will do:
13) Rock star hop
14) Gap jump
15) Squat jack
16) Military march

Repeat exercises 13 thru 16

Then you will do:
17) Run squat 180 jump switch
18) Lateral leapfrog squat
19) Monster truck tires
20) Hot foot

Repeat exercises 13 thru 16

Then you will do:
Yes believe it or not there’s actually a bonus round! (Yes Tony is crazy!) It’s geared around sports movements.

21) Pitch & catch
22) Jump shot
And finally! #23 football hero.

That’s all of them; I’m exhausted just from writing all that, but I have to say if you stick with it and give it your all each time your cardio will increase tremendously.

Then you go into your cool down as the sweat continues to pour down your face. This is one of those workouts that I REALLY look forward to having my recovery drink afterwards! I know what you’re thinking, this sounds like a lot (maybe even crazy?) for most people but over time I assure you this one workout really grows on you.

Be sure to read my next P90X review article in this series.

Till next time…stay motivated & take care of yourself.
