If you have ever wanted a great beach body then this workout will give it to you.  It is not stop push ups and pull ups with a few weights as well.  I enjoy this workout so much because you walk away so exhausted after 50 minutes.  The majority of the time you are switching back from a push up and then to a pull up so the video starts out with a standard push up.

Everyone can do these but how many can you do in 30 seconds.  Don’t forget that every workout is done twice before you end the Chest and Back DVD.  Wide front pull ups are next and are my least favorite.  Have you ever had those wings under your arm pits when you flex.  Well after doing P90x for a second time through I now can say I have those muscles and it’s because of this exercise.  Military push ups are difficult as well and all you have to do is keep your arms close to you and your elbows tucked in every time you come in and out of one.  I can now do about 18-20 of them in a row but at first  I couldn’t do 5.

The next three set of workouts are Reverse chin ups, Wide Fly push ups and Close grip pull ups.  Reverse chin ups are my favorite just because I can do these the best and can do 10 of them in a row.  I was pretty impressed with my results because I couldn’t even do 1 of these at day 1.  For some reason wide fly push ups are easier for me than standard push ups and I think it’s because when I worked out on the bench press I always had a wider grip on the bar.  Close grip is next and I think the hardest part of this pull up is lifting up your legs in a constant motion.  They always seem to flap in the air after every pull up I do. Either way I love these workouts next to each other cause there easiest for me. 

Decline push ups, Heavy pants and Diamond push up are next and you need to keep a good balance with these.  Decline is a standard push up but with your feet on a chair.  They are fun and when you get some confidence you can raise a leg in the air as well while doing a push up.  Try it when you get used of doing the regular ones first of course.  Heavy pants is the same thing as putting a pair of pants on except using weights of course.  I usually use 25lbs on each arm and get through about 12 reps.  I always have a hard time with this one because I focus on my arms rather than my back.  One of the most challenging workout on the chest and back exercise is diamond push ups.  The name says it all.  Make a diamond out of your hands and then do push ups!  Yes easier said then done Tony Horton.  The trick here is doing them while your legs are separated like a V.  After almost 180 days I now can do two sets of 12.  The other positive about getting through P90x almost twice is the benefits of becoming a Coach.  Its great to see your progress when you chart everything on paper and when I look back at the first time I did this workout I did 1.

You finish with 3 more workouts and they are lawnmowers, Dive bomber, and Back flys.  I use a 25lb weight for lawnmowers and I can do about 12.  Don’t forget that your arms are on fire from the previous exercises and plus to gain mass you want to keep it to 8-12 reps.   These are pretty much like starting a lawnmower but bent over.  Hence the word Lawnmower.  Dive bomber push ups are not my favorite and that’s because there hard as hell!  Picture a 2 foot high fence and going under it without your chest touching the ground.  Better yet!  It’s like the limbo but its your back that can’t touch the bottom of the fence.  Well back flys are simple and self explanatory so no detail on that but the best thing about this workout is that you have one more time through.  Yes once you finish these you go back and do them all over again.  Remember most of these exercises are 30 seconds to a minute so you have plenty of time to go at it one more time.  Usually my second time through my reps go down do to the fact that I’m extremely exhausted.

My chest and back are strong because of things like Yoga X and Ab ripper and several other workouts like shoulder and triceps.  Overall I think if you put your mind to it and focus on each and every workout the results will come with this system.   If you truly want to start and believe that P90X is a little too much for you then try RevAbs.

Call me Crazy or in 60 Days call me even more FIT!  Below is a video of my friend Brad and I actually working out with Shaun T in LA at the Coaches Summit.  It was an hour long workout and around the last 10 minutes of it I almost passed out.  I fell to my knees and couldn’t breathe for like 30 seconds.  This workout is no joke and you better be in decent shape before trying Insanity.

My name is Gianni Licari and I am a Coach with Beach Body.

I am a normal person just like you that wants to stay in shape but cant afford to buy a personal trainer. If you have ever purchased a gym membership in the past stop and think of how much you spent each month and the end results after it expired. I have spent several thousand dollars on memberships in the past and I was annoyed that I never really had a game plan going into the gym everyday. I personally think the gym is great and if you have time to drive there, workout and then come home, FANTASTIC. Most of us don’t have the time or the energy to figure out what exercise to do when we get there and on what day.
I personally didn’t go to the gym anymore because I struggled to stay in shape. My results were always the same and I was always being sized up by everyone else. I have been looking for a better way to stay in shape and I finally found one.

P90X and Beach Body?
Beachbody is a company that has been around for quite some time and they have been successful because they make in home fitness DVDs that work. Beach Body also has nutrition plans you can follow to keep you in line with eating right as well as using supplements to build better muscle definition. Imagine having your own personal trainer in the comfort of your own home and all you do is follow them for 90 days. Remember I am not a personal trainer nor a nutritionist. I am a customer of Beach Body products because they give me the workouts and tell me what supplements I should take. These programs are not for everyone because you have to tell yourself that you are making a commitment and a lifestyle change. These programs are not the latest fad, they have been around for years and proven as you can see from my results. My first program was P90X and it is a 90 day fitness program that helps you build your muscles from inside out. You do exercises like Yoga, Plyometrics, Kenpo, Chest & Back, Shoulders and Triceps,  Ab Ripper or Cardio X or Core Synergistics. My results are outstanding and now I am on my 3rd program called RevAbs.  I have gone from a size 36 waist to a size 32. My weight has also changed dramatically coming in 23lbs lighter and starting to show muscle definition. A lot of friends ask me well what do you do after you finish P90X?  You can start it over and try and beat your old goals or move on to the next challenge like I did.  I was going to start Insanity but instead I went with  RevAbs because I now have two children that demand a lot of my love and will gladly give them every minute.  The key is not to go back to my old ways and will admit that it hasn’t happened and never will thanks to BeachBody!  Below is a quick little showing of some other people getting great results.

Becoming a Coach
This is a second bonus you get when you join the team of motivated people that want to make a little extra cash. It is simple and shouldn’t scare you from not at least thinking about doing it. Let me explain. When you sign up to be a Coach you have the opportunity to start a business on the side while you are working out to a program of your choice. What Beachbody found out was people who were trying their programs were getting great results and friends, family, co-workers, etc were asking them what they were doing to get into shape. People like me would tell you to go buy the products from Beachbody directly and in turn I received no compensation. They have now decided to reward you for helping other people stay in shape as well as give you a little extra cash for your efforts. On top of that you get a 25% discount on anything you purchase.  So I am offering to you a little incentive.  Purchase a product and sign up today and I will do all the work for you.  Yes.  I have the knowledge and the traffic to my website to help you get other coaches under you.  You will not be making a ton of money but enough to cover the monthly expenses.  An average of $50-$100/ month for me doing all the work.  Not a bad deal for you and all you need to commit to is working out and staying in shape.  Eventually you will understand the business and help others do the same thing.  See once you get two coaches underneath you Beachbody starts sending you customers that have already purchased from them before.  These customers make up 25% of my commissions and helps out a lot.  Remember I only benefit if you benefit.  So join now!

Coaching
You are not coaching anybody. If anything, Beachbody is coaching you.  I became a customer first and believed in the product and then I took advantage of the coaching opportunity.  I wish I could go back in time and become a coach first because I had sent a lot of friends to beachbody and never saw a dime.  I discuss the coaching model in more detail here if you still sound interested.  It is $39.95 to start and $14.95 a month after.   If you purchase a product when you sign up they will waive the enrollment fee.  One of the best benefits of being a coach is you get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products. The savings alone make sense to sign up.

Who Should Sign Up To Be A Coach?
- Anybody who is looking for a new way to get into shape.
-Anyone who currently buys health products and wants a discount.
-Anybody that wants to make extra cash helping others get into shape.
-Wants to make a long term lifestyle change.

Who Shouldnt Be a Coach!
-Wants a quick get rich scheme. Don’t Bother!
-Doesn’t have an extra 2-4 hours a week.
-Doesn’t know anyone that needs to get into shape.

For myself I didn’t think it was a good idea at first because I was overweight and not in shape. Plus I had no experience doing any of the workouts so how could I tell anyone else that it worked. Getting into shape is a lifestyle change for ever not just for 90 days. I’m committed to myself and anyone else that wants to finally say no to a bad lifestyle. I preach this. Do one of the programs at the top of my site and after the allotted time your worst case scenario is your in shape. Best case scenario is that all your friends are asking you what the heck you did to look so good! At that point you will see the benefits of being a coach and then your hard work starts to pay off. The reason why people fail when going to the gym is they don’t have the knowledge to make their own programs and on top of that afford a personal trainer.  Beachbody handles all of that for you now.  Below you will see living proof of my promotion.  I’m a few weeks away from another one so get in quickly.
