Two Weeks on Shakeology

I am officially hooked on my Shakeology from Beachbody.  The problem is that I have given so much of it away to interested people that I am running low on my own personal supply and now am faced with not having it for a couple of weeks.  In the last two weeks, without changing anything in my diet  or workouts other than the addition of Shakeology at least 3 times a week.  In that time, I have seen my weight drop another 5 lbs.  Imagine what can happen for those that do not eat healthy all the time and replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology.  For the same price or even less than getting fast food or Starbucks, you can have Shakeology and improve your health from the inside out.  It fills me up, has great recipes, and gives me a boost of energy that gets me through the day without any fatigue setting in.  I truly believe Shakeology will be a part of my regular diet from now on.  You should give it a try.  For more information, go to our website tntfitfam.com, or directly to our Shakeology page.

Where's the Time

Between work, coming home to spend time with the family, preparing and eating dinner, and putting the kids to bed, it is sometimes tough to muster up the energy to start your workout.  I understand completely, and I know how tempting it is to park your butt on the couch and veg for a minute...or an hour...etc...But I also know how hard I have worked to get to this point, and how easy it is to fall back into that sloth mentality. And yes, I am perfectly happy "postponing" my workouts until another day so I can just relax. But once turns into twice, then a few times and so on.  So I lumber over to the DVD player and pop in my P90X routing for the day, stare at it for a second, and as the music begins I start perking up.  I fill my water bottle, get my towel, tighten my shoelaces and get my weights ready if they are needed for that workout.  Still not 100% into it when I start the warm-up, I follow Tony Horton's lead.  A couple of minutes in and my blood starts pumping and my body kicks in, like it has been given a jump start.  I am not kidding.  My entire attitude gets transformed and I become alert, and ready for action.  Before long, I can hardly remember being tired, make it through that workout, and upon finishing, become completely satisfied with the feeling of muscle fatigue from my workout.  I can sleep so much better from accomplishing the feeling of tired rather than succumbing to it.

Couple's Workout

My wife and I are currently going through Beachbody's P90X program.  However, I am at the very end of the program, and my wife is just beginning Phase 2.  Just by luck of the schedule, our workouts for the week line up.  It had been quite some time since we have been able to work out together for a multitude of reasons.  The first was that she hated working out with me because she couldn't keep up and would get frustrated, the other was because we have two you boys so we work out whenever our schedule permits. In any case, Leslie had been using the TurboJam program by Chalene Johnson before coming back to P90X.  I have to say that I was pretty impressed and proud of her with her growth.  No, she couldn't do every  move without modifying, but she did her best and forgot the rest.  By the end of our Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout, followed by Ab Ripper X we were exhausted, but felt great.  It really is better to work out together, pushing as well as encouraging each other to do the very best we possibly can as we strive to get in the best shape of our lives.

Day 1....Welcome!!!

Greetings All,
I want to welcome you to our newly launched blog regarding everything Beachbody! We are Matt & Leslie Dultz, and we are new Independent Team Beachbody Coaches. We want to reach anyone who is considering one of the many Beachbody Programs or Products that are available, but hasn't gotten that final push of inspiration to actually commit to it. We were in the same boat as you, but once we finally took the leap, we were so glad we did. So much in fact, that here we are today, reaching out to serve you as your own personal motivator. I (Matt) began the P90X program and had great results. But I won't lie and tell you it was a piece of cake. It took a lot of sweat and sacrifice, but it all paid off in the end. I lost over 20 pounds and was leaner than when I graduated from high school (and I am a 32 year old married father of 2!). My wife (Leslie) has gone through the TurboJam program, and is doing her own modified version of P90X to suit her needs and abilities. But that's the point of this blog. To reach those of you who may feel intimidated about starting on such a daunting journey. To those of you that feel you have to get in shape just to go to the gym you signed up for. Allow us to be your own personal online coach for motivation, advice, encouragement and accountability. We would love to help you.
