P90X Meal Plans

Over the years I've gotten a pretty good handle on how to eat for fat shredding, for energy, to maintain, but I realized after Dave's first week of P90X that he simply hasn't had that experience yet and needs a clear-cut meal plan. He wants to do the Phase 1 fat shredder for P90X this week so I decided to follow the meal planner in the manual. I'm not following it to a 'T' but as close as I can. There will be a little more cooking this week than usual, but the week looks good for that, so I say bring it on!  Instead of P90X bars, we are using Shakeology with some extra protein thrown in each day.
Monday - P90X Chest & Back and AB Ripper X

Dave’s approx. calories  2600  Anne’s approx. calories 1800  

Numbers in () are for Anne.  Our boys, ages 9, 12, and 16 eat what we eat and because this is a low carb plan, I throw in extra fruits, snacks, complex carbs...cookies...for them!  I will simply cook this as for a family and then portion out the meal.

Tony and the Kids!

On Saturday, January 9th, the day began with a fun kids' workout with Tony Horton, Mr. P90X man himself! Tony talked to the kids about healthy eating. And just like Sunday school, after a few minutes the kids knew the 'right' answers...broccoli and chicken  not candy and donuts! Always a danger asking kids questions in large assemblies..and more than one parent was slightly embarrassed when their child
 told Tony they had donuts for breakfast!

The kids learned fun moves like 'Banana Rolls!'  Then after the workout, the kids lined up in a very neat line, I must say, and each of them went home with an autographed picture to remember the day!





While the kids were getting autographed pictures, the exclusive coach luncheon with Tony was being set up in the next ballroom!

Lincoln Event with Tony Horton

We had an incredible Team Beachbody event in Lincoln, Nebraska on January 9th. People from 11 states came into Lincoln..on the coldest day we've had all winter..to meet and work out with Tony Horton!












Friday night started with a Coach welcome reception and attendees were blessed by the surprise appearance of Tony Horton who spent the entire evening listening to people's stories, taking pictures and sharing some of his stories. He's a celebrity to so many people, but he treats everyone else like they are the celebrity.

Beachbody Coach Steps to Success #3

So what's another step you can take to be successful in your Beachbody business? See the P90X tshirt that Dave is wearing in this picture (the one on the right?)  Today's topic is "2 Exposures a Day."  But first, I'm a mom and a home school mom at that, so after school, I'll fill you in and you can start your 2 exposures a day! (Not what you think!)

Beachbody Coach Steps to Success #1

So! You are a Beachbody Coach now! What is your first step to being successful?


1. Commit to your Health, Fitness, and Nutrition.

• If you haven't already, order your Showcase pack or an individual workout program like Power 90 or Slim in 6 or P90X... and an Activit vitamin pack or Shakeology.
• Set your short term and long term health and fitness goals. Write them down!
• Start planning healthier meals. Try out the Club meal planner or use the meal plans in your Beachbody program or simply start using Michi's ladder. 

Being a product of the product doesn't mean you have to jump right into P90X! It doesn't mean you ever have to do P90X. Being committed to your fitness program means just what it says. You may not do it perfectly. You might miss days and you might not be able to drive by McDonald's every time. But if you stay committed, that means that you continue to do your best. 

One of the really cool things about becoming a Beachbody coach before you even order your Shakeology or Power 90...is that not only do you get the 25% discount but as you start to use those programs, people will notice. And it will be a natural lead-in for you to share with people. People will see you changing. They will notice maybe that you are happier, that you come into work with a spring in your step and that your clothes are fitting a little looser. And they will ask you...How are you losing weight? Why are you so happy today? Seven and a half years ago when I was first losing weight with Power 90, people were coming up to me daily asking me what I was doing! Wish I could have gotten the commissions from all those sales!

Now you may be Mr. or Mrs. Ripped and have never struggled with weight. So how about you? You've gotten in phenomenal shape again with one of Beachbody's programs but no one ever really saw you as overweight.  People are still going to ask you how you stay so fit. What's your secret? And you can tell them which Beachbody workout you are doing. You are in a prime position to share about Beachbody because people have been watching you all along...maybe enviously, thinking you are one lucky dude. But now you have proven workouts to help them and they can do it at home with no one watching!

"Anne, I'm not ready to start exercising..I just feel too heavy..What about me?" I got that question this week. Then, you start with Shakeology. Shakeology is something everyone should be using and for you, if you aren't ready to dive into a full workout program, then use Shakeology and gradually add in the Shakeology workouts. Shakeology is the cornerstone of our nutritional line and is only available through you, the Team Beachbody Coach.  As you start to lose weight the healthy way, with Shakeology, light exercise and improving your other meals, people will want to know how to do the same thing. 

So that's it! Step #1. Commit.  Or as Beachbody has always said.. Decide. Commit. Succeed!

Until next time.

Anne

Great friends..all because of Beachbody

So excited tonight to have Cammie Lusk on our webinar presentation! We had way too much fun during the time when we were setting up her microphone and webcam!  Cammie shared her amazing story and then shared Beachbody's mission to reverse this obesity trend, and the products and programs they have created and are creating to make that difference.   


Here is the really cool thing. Dan and Cammie live an hour from us but most likely, we never would have met if it weren't for Beachbody. Dan ordered P90X from the infomercial. Was coached by Mike and Kelley Ryan  who suggested Shakeology along with the workouts. And with the help of Dan and Mike, Cammie has been doing P90X, taking Shakeology, getting stronger and feeling better than she has in a long time. Then one day I got to one of our local Beachbody coach meetings and there was Dan. He introduced himself as a new coach under Mike Ryan. Well, I was blown away. Mike is a coach in my team in California! And he sponsored Dan in Nebraska. What a small world!  Mike and Kelley ordered P90X, started getting amazing results and started sharing that with others and in turn we got to meet the Lusks. And our family has been tremendously blessed.


We started our Beachbody business with goals. We met those goals and set new ones. We had no idea that along the way we would make friends with some of the most incredible people we know..and from all across the country..who have touched our lives and challenged us to be better in everything we do.  


Set your fitness goals. Set your business goals. And go for it! None of it is easy, but it's so worth it! 

P90X

P90X is the real deal! I've met many of the people in this video, including Tony! These are real people, with real results and you can get them too! Just do P90X. I did the year I turned 40 and got in the best shape of my life.

To order: http://www.teambeachbody.com/annedovel

Make sure you also choose Peak Recovery and Results Formula! You are going to need it. In fact, whether you do P90X, Insanity or Chalean Extreme, you should have that formula. I started P90X without it once, and within a week logged into my Team Beachbody account and ordered a tub. I couldn't believe how much a difference it made in my recovery time and energy.

Team Beachbody is about real people, getting real results and sharing it with others. Ask me how you can build your own successful Beachbody business. anne@coachyoufit.com

Webinar Tips for Beachbody Coaches

Webinars have been a tremendous tool in growing a large and healthy Beachbody team. We use webinars to share our own Beachbody Business powerpoint, but also live coach trainings. 
On any one webinar, we will have people represented from all over the country.. Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, Illinoins, Indiana, Rhode Island... It just blows my mind sometimes! So why do I do them live rather than just providing a recording? To me there is an element of it being more like a conversation when it's live. We make mistakes but it's okay. I love doing the webinars now and I love connecting with coaches and people looking at being a coach.
So what are some tips for a successful presentation on the internet?


1. Sound. We tested out a lot of microphones when we first started and decided that the headset microphone with USB connection and an on/off switch was the best thing, especially if you are doing presentations with another person. The USB connection had a better sound than the other connection type ( I told you, I am not a professional) and definitely better than an internal microphone. The internal microphone will work, but it sounds kind of like you are in a tunnel. When you do presentation with another person, it's almost necessary for you both to have headset microphones so that when the other person is talking, the listeners won't hear the echo of you coming across the other person's speakers. Another tip is when the other person is talking, turn the switch off on your headset. After doing hundreds of webinars, you get comfortable and you might forget and blow your nose or sigh or laugh...and that will be heard as well as the other person trying to present. :) Just remember to unmute yourself a few seconds before it's your turn to talk again. I bought my headset off of Amazon and it was really affordable. And..it's tax deductible! 
2. The Webinar service. Shop around. There are a lot of webinar services out there. Even some you can try for free for a couple of weeks. Some use a call-in number and have other features like auto invitations and tracking tools. We chose Instant Presenter because we liked it that our participants could log in and listen on the internet and not have to use a call in number. It's a little more expensive, but if you are serious about growing your business and are serious about using the service, it's worth it. And you may even get a better deal if you call the service and ask them what kind of price they would give you if you paid a year in advance.  
3. Time. Be respectful of your audience and be prompt. Have the webinar set up on time and start it on time. You may have late comers, but don't back up and start over. Just keep going and if they want to hear what they missed, you can arrange to go over it with them after the close or at another time. Personally, I try to keep my presentations at or under 30 minutes. And stick to the presentation. This is a business overview, not a life story. 
4. Distractions. Most services offer a chat box. If it gets too chatty..Say you have a couple people carrying on a conversation, then you can shut the chat function off. It will distract you and the other participants of a couple people are just having fun in the chat window. Also, if someone asks a question in the chat window, don't feel bad about simply saying.. "I see you have a question. Remind me at the end of the webinar and I will answer them then." During a webinar or presentation is not the time to start going in depth to answer questions or you will be there all night. If you don't think you can say that, then keep the chat function off. One reason to keep it on, maybe in "to presenters only" mode is so they can let you know if the sound quits broadcasting.
5. Contact. Another way to answer the questions people have is to offer your contact information at the end of the webinar and allow some time in your schedule in case someone wants to call and ask questions. Or, I stay online and answer questions that come through the chat at that time.  
6. Recording. Some webinar services will record for free or part of the fee. I said in the beginning I do our webinars live, but I will be recording one just to use on a limited basis when someone I'm talking to just can't make a webinar time.  
7. Schedule. Once you start doing webinars, I recommend you set a time when you can do it at the same time every week, so your team knows to expect it. Then, if you have time set aside, you can do extras too. Sometimes a coach will call me and ask me if I have time to do a webinar right then, and if I can I will. It's like a 3 way call only with pictures! And I don't get sidetracked because I'm following the slides!  
8. Promote. Promote your presentations continually to your team. The reason we do webinars is so that all the coaches in our team, whether personally sponsored or not, have a resource they can tie into to share Beachbody and the incredible opportunity that we have until they feel comfortable doing it themselves.  
9. Team Up. If you are a part of our team, you've heard us talk over and over about teaming up with someone for success. It's so important. We teamed up with our friends, the Fitzgeralds when we first started our Beachbody business. We've worked together 2.5 years now, brainstorming, planning, creating, doing, growing, learning... And if one of us isn't available, then the other person does the webinar or meeting. When you team up, you also have a wider base of attendees and there is power in numbers. 


I hope some of these suggestions and tips will help you as you are building your successful Beachbody business.
