Hi everyone. My name is Chad and thanks to Beachbody and Tony Horton, I transformed my body in just 90 days by doing the Power 90 and P90X workout programs. I am in better shape today than ever before.
I am an independent Beachbody coach and am here to help you however I can. I’ve had much success with P90X and have helped many others meet their own weight loss goals and achieve their own fantastic results. This blog is about fitness and enjoying a healthy lifestyle, and its benefits.
LES MILLS PUMP Beachbody Home Workout DVD is coming.
That’s right, Beachbody® and Les Mills International have teamed up to develop the exciting LES MILLS PUMP workout, the first comprehensive at-home DVD fitness program based on the globally famous BODYPUMP® gym classes.
Quite simply, it’s the world’s fastest way to get in shape. The LES MILLS PUMP workout is a barbell-based rapid weight loss and accelerated strength-training program that incinerates calories to give you the ultimate tight, toned, lean body. If you want flat abs, lean legs, sculpted arms, and tight buns, then LES MILLS PUMP is for you.
What is so special about the Les Mills PUMP workout program?
The Les Mills PUMP workout uses a training technique called THE REP EFFECT™. You lift lighter weights and push your muscles to fatigue by changing the tempo, position, and speed of your movements, all while hitting your target heart rate zone.
In every LES MILLS PUMP workout, you’re breaking down more fat reserves, targeting more muscle fibers, and blasting more calories than you would in a typical heavy weight workout.
What do you get when you buy LES MILLS PUMP?
7 fat-blasting, lean muscle-building workouts
Your very own barbell that breaks down for easy storage
Two 5-lb. and two 10-lb. weighted plates
Fitness and nutrition guides
Workout calendar
2 bonus workouts
Plus, get a free workout when you buy from your Coach or on Team Beachbody®!
There will also be a Deluxe kit available that has 3 additional cardio workouts designed specifically to complement your strength training, and a height-adjustable Step that you can use as a weight bench, cardio-conditioning tool, and targeted sculpting platform. The Deluxe kit also includes extra weight plates so you can lift heavier weights as you get stronger.
40 Days to Re-Model your ‘Weak’ Body Parts into your Best Body Parts! Now that’s a Tall Order – and one that Certainly needs Putting to the Test…
Okay, so Ben Pakulski – IFBB Pro Bodybuilder – certainly looks the part. But his new MI40 workout program is making some very substantial claims about how to not only get big, but to keep your abs and dissolve your body fat in half the usual time. So is it true? We blow the lid on MI40, discovering the truth behind the hype.
What do you get for your money?
MI40 is centered around two things. These are 1) avoiding the five most common training and dietary mistakes that actually reverse all your muscle building efforts, and 2) three scientifically proven body remodeling methods to beef up the muscle and blast away the fat. Sounds promising so far, but what does that actually boil down to?
The program consists of the following:
The 40-Day MASS Intelligence Training Manual – This explains the science behind the strategy (and that MI40 stands for Mass Intentions 40, with the number 40 being significant to one of the key points of this program, the NOS technique)
The 40-Day MASS Consumption Condition Manual – This is all about Ben’s patented nutrition plan, Three Phase Nutrition. After all, ‘if the right fuel ain’t goin’ in, the right body ain’t gonna develop!
The 40-Day MASS Instruction Workout Videos – Covering every muscle mass in the body, this is your own personal, one on one coaching with Ben Pakulski
The 40-Day MASS Proportions Exercise Executions Guide – Sticking with that all important number 40, this give highly detailed instructions on 40 exercises laser focused on shortening and lengthening muscles through their full range of motion
The 40-Day MASS Prescription Printable Workout Sheets – so you can manage and track your progress
The 40-Day MASS Pursuit Calendar – a great motivational tool
The 40-Day MASS Supplement Stack Protocol – solid information on the best supplements, without breaking the bank
Size Secrets Audio Interrogation – A personal interview with Ben where he shares some of his incredible training knowledge and nuggets of information.>>>Click Here To Get $30 OFF Ben Pakulski’s MI40
The complete system is the might of Ben’s knowledge, gained over his years of training, and put together in a scientifically proven program for the very first time. You’ll learn about his patented strategy – NOS (that stands for Neurological Overload Sets), and Mass Intentions – the ability to be able to understand the pros and cons of both lighter and heavier weights.
And Mr Pakulski is so confident that his system works, that he’s giving a no quibble, 100% money back, 60 day guarantee if you’re not satisfied – for any reason.
If you’re thinking that Ben Pakulski’s MI40 workout is only for those whose aim is to bulk up and get ripped then don’t be fooled. Sure – it’s not a program for everyone, because it requires commitment and dedication to your aims. But you don’t necessarily need to be aiming for a Mr. Universe body, because MI40 works for all levels (okay, perhaps not those who might be considered couch potatoes). But for anyone – male or female – with a reasonable amount of fitness who’s prepared to dedicate some time to their fitness goals, the MI40 could well be the answer. And the strategies used in this training program are those that even rank beginners would do well to follow – after all, it’s all about training correctly, effectively and, above all, safely.
Who is Ben Pakulski?
Ben Pakulski is an IFBB Pro Body Builder and has been honing his craft for the past 14 years. Not only that, but he’s a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, where he specialized in the study of Kinesiology and Biomechanics. That makes him extremely well versed in the field of muscle function and muscle movement. He’s a successful personal trainer, with celebrity clients like Vince Delmonte plus others and has been featured in many of the well-respected health and fitness magazines. Add in his work as a fitness coach and public speaker and you begin to see that Ben is committed to improving both his own and the bodies of other people.
MI40 is the culmination of 14 years of training and knowledge by one of the experts in the field of fitness and body building
By avoiding some of the common fitness traps, it really is possible to improve your weaker body parts that you might well have resigned yourself to
Not only does MI40 work during the program, but it will also set you up with the techniques and knowledge necessary to make every other workout plan you follow in the future be more affective
This is an all-round program. It not only concentrates on the necessary exercise, but also on nutrition as well. After all – the body is a dynamic system and you can’t only work on one area in isolation
MI40 is a workout program that you can follow again and again, whenever you feel the need to improve the quality of the time you spend in the gym. Because when it comes down to it, it’s not about working harder, it’s about working smarter!
The Cons
Okay – this is not a program for the faint-hearted. MI40 is hard! It’s 40 days (or six weeks) of intense and strategically targeted fitness. And you need to commit to get the results you desire
It’s not a quick fix! Sure – it really can fast track your muscle size, tone and fat-loss goals, but it sure isn’t going to happen without putting the work in. So if you’re looking for a miracle – then look elsewhere
Damn! We were hoping to pour cold water all over this one, but we simply can’t. Listen – if you’re honestly prepared to put in the necessary effort to follow the program then it will work. But you’ve got to be committed. So for anyone who has ‘tried everything else’ this is a worthwhile workout regime with a difference that’ll see you getting the results you desire. And yes, you really will be able to cut down your workout time – but remember that you’re going to have to work on your nutrition as well.
If you read this MI40 review then you know…In a nutshell – MI40 does the biz, as long as you put in the necessary effort to stick to the program.

Get Fit and Win Prizes in The Beachbody Challenge! You can win CASH, TRIPS and MORE!!! UP TO $100,000!!!!
Is there truely a secret for burning fat and losing weight? People tend to hope that weight loss can be achieved by a short cut or magic pill and are looking for solutions that promise quick and easy results.
I would call it more common sense than an actual secret, but the truth of the matter is you need to stick to a program and progress each week and eat healthy. For me, I needed a goal with an action plan and a way to measure my success and progress.
This is why I think the Beachbody Challenge is such a great idea.
If you’re looking to lose weight then check out the video below. Oh, and by the way, the Beachbody Challenge is open to people who have also completed a Beachbody program and have already achieved their goals and the results then set out towards.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re intersted in signing up for the Beachbody Challege, but are not already a member of Team Beachbody, you will be prompted to first sign up for a FREE Team Beachbody Membership.

Is it true Beachbody is giving away money everyday to people registered in the challenge, just for working out?

I’m on a few “fitness guru’s” mailing lists and the other day I was sent the link to a free healthy dessert & snack ebook. The book is authored by Jayson Hunter over at Prograde Nutrition (I am NOT an affiliate and haven’t yet tried out their supplements) and since I tend to have sweet tooth cravings I thought it would be worthwhile to check it out and post for my site visitors.
P90X2 Workout Preview. What do you do after P90X? What comes after P90X. The answer is P90X2.
So you’re doing or have completed P90X. You want to know what do I do after P90X? Or, What comes after P90X. P90X2 is the answer. Currently in development, the P90X2 workout will be the official sequel to P90X and it’s currently schedule for a Fall 2011 launch. P90X2 will re-train your body movement patterns so that you’ll perform better. It’s designed to be more like sports training. Just like it’s predecessor, it will have multiple phases geared towards muscle confussion. P90X2 will up the ante with new movements, sets patterns, supersets, and complexes.
In fact, this completely new 90-day program features cutting-edge workouts so intense, you’ll only be working out 5 days a week.
P90X2 Workout. What is it all about?
The P90X2 program is made up of three phases, each focusing on a different aspect of your fitness: Foundation, Strength, and Performance, that will help your body evolve in ways you never imagined. You’ll begin by improving your foundation, where instability plays a large role. Then you’ll build strength and, finally, power, which all translates to improved performance. Expanding on the original program, P90X2 workout embraces the latest research in applied science to keep your muscles “confused” even longer. The end result is a program that everyone from 5K aspirants to professional athletes can benefit from.
What gives P90X2 its edge?
In order to take P90X2 to the next level, Beachbody enlisted the services of Dr. Marcus Elliott. One of the most sought-after trainers in the world of sports, Dr. Elliott now presides over Beachbody’s Scientific Advisory Board and has lent his expertise to the evolution that is P90X2. Until now, his groundbreaking training techniques have only been available to world-class athletes. With P90X2, now you can take them home.
What Equipment will you need?
Given that P90X2 is state-of-the-art program that mimics what a lot of high profile trainers do in gyms, it will make use of a lot of modern equipment. Here’s the breakdown of items you might want to invest in. It may seem like a lot but there are also household equivalents that could be substitued in.
Resistance: bands and/or weights and a pull-up bar
Stability Ball: Instability is a large part of this program. Creating instability requires your body to fire its stabilizer muscles, which reduces muscular imbalance that is the number one reason for injuries and biomechanical breakdown in your body as it ages.
Medicine Balls: These are used for stabilizing, not weight
Foam roller:
Plyo boxes: In P90X 2, these are used for stepping off and not for jumpping on
I want to answer probably the number one question I come across and that is “does P90X work?”
I’m a huge fan of P90X and have had great success with it over the years and the answer really depends on what your goals are and how well you commit to the program.
If you want to get huge and are going for the bodybuilder look, then I’d say it’s not the ideal program, and Beachbody doesn’t claim it is. If you’re looking for a good intense all around fitness program that will get you in great shape, feel fantastic, and give you more of a fitness model look, then yes it will work.
P90X…actually all of Beachbody’s programs, are not about short cuts or gimmicks. For any of these program to work and to get results like all those who you see on the internet and the infomercial, you need to be consistent with the workouts (that means working out 5-6 days a week), and maintain a healthy diet and eat clean. It’s easy to say, but a little tougher to do. But if you do, you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
Where I feel P90X stands apart from the competition is how Beachbody take what’s difficult for most people to figure out and do on their own, and put it all together in a well structured program. Personally speaking, I needed a program laid out for me with a step by step process to follow. All I had to do is play the DVDs and follow along, plus the program comes with easy to follow nutrition plan that give you plenty of options for what to eat and how to modify to your own tastes. Lastly, P90X has a tremendous online support system which I found very helpful for staying motivated, accountable, and getting through the program.
If you do plan on ordering P90X, here’s a money saving tip. Shop through Beachbody’s, Team web site (same company, same return policy, etc…). You will pay less shipping and your order will come with two additional bonus DVD workouts which you can not get if you order through the advertised 800# and website.
I am very familiar with P90X and have helped guide many customers through the program or with any questions they might have feel free to contact me or leave me a comment.
This is a follow up blog post (Click Here For Prior Post), on P90X Coaching and this one is about how to choose the right P90X Coach for you and what to look for.
Just to reiterate from my prior post Coaches are free. It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up with a Coach.
When choosing, or evaluating a Coach if they were automatically assigned to you, you need to look for someone who you feel really wants to help you, and who you feel can help you get from point A to point B. You want to choose someone who can talk to you about the equipment, nutrition, supplements, and how to stay accountable. Coaches do not necessarily need to have all the answers, but they should be able to figure out where to point you if they don’t know.
Having a Coach will help you maximize your results. When I chose my Coach, I looked for someone who themselves had good results, and my thinking was if they had a positive experience with the program, then they would likely have good advice to share so I too could get good results with P90X.
You want someone who is available and will be there for you, and committed to make sure you get the success you’re looking for.
Now what if you were automatically assigned a Coach or you’re not happy with your current Coach? Don’t let that be the reason you’re not succeeding with the P90X. It’s totally acceptable to request a Coach change and it’s done all the time. If you’d like help with that, send me an email [getfitwithchad@gmail.com] and I’ll walk you through the process and the specifics for requesting a Coach change. It’s simple and quick to do.
Remember, you’re putting in all this hard work by working out over an hour a day and eating healthier than anyone you know because you’ve made a decision to get in shape and improve your health and fitness. If you feel you need some support, guidance and motivation, then having a good Coach is going to be a key to your success with the program. Take advantage of everything that’s available to you to make sure you’re get the most out of this program.
If you would like me to coach you, then I’d be happy to commit myself to help you meet your goals. Just click on the banner below and let’s get started. If not, I hope this helps you in your search or decision for choosing someone and I wish you good luck with the program, and in all seriousness feel free to stop by and ask questions along the way.
