How to lose weight?

phattyfit — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:30:02 +0000

Surprisingly the topic was the number two most searched on Yahoo for 2010. So I figured I could let you in on some tidbits of how I became successful at losing almost 30 pounds in 90 days. There are many ways to lose weight and doing things like the Biggest Loser show is not the best. The gym membership works if you know what you’re doing or have money to spend on a trainer. Most of my readers all ready know what I am going to promote in this post but that’s not my point. There are several ways to lose weight people. Eating better is most likely your problem along with not being active. I understand YOU don’t have time! Does anyone these days! We hate our jobs(most of us), have financial troubles, fatigued, stressed out from something and most likely have a few children that want all your attention. If one of the above doesn’t involve your name then why are you so out of shape? Tell me!

Is this really why we can’t lose weight or do we get to comfortable and lose touch with ourselves?

Don’t you think it’s a combo of both? Well I can tell you that it’s time to wake up people! Tell yourself that today is the last day I will continue to live without discipline. If you have tried everything in the book and even some home fitness products like P90X, then your not being disciplined and not making any goals for yourself. Look I can tell you right now that if you see a fitness FAD out there then it works or else they wouldn’t advertise it. My point is they all work but what works for you may not work for someone else. That’s the beauty of Beachbody. They offer several different levels of programs and for all ages. How easy is it to follow the Atkins or South Beach? Seriously Boring! Yes it works but as soon as you stop buying the foods or going off the food regime then you gain it all back. Simply put. I think you need a lifestyle change and when your ready then bookmark this page and continue to read.

Simplify your life and surround yourself with others that are healthy and stay fit! If you wanted to become rich would you hang out with poor people or rich successful people.

Step one is now behind us and I have to ask if your ready for a lifestyle change? GOOD.

Now follow these steps and you will be back to a very fit, in shape person.

2. Clean out your cupboards of all junk foods and replace them with good foods. If you question something before you toss it then its probably bad!

3. Order one of these programs- P90X, Turbofire, Insanity, RevAbs.

4. Order these supplements-Recovery Drink and Shakeology.

5. While waiting for your investment create an area that you can go to and exercise. Nothing too drastic but enough space to move a little.

6. Read all the information on your new investment and what you need to be successful. Trust me it will tell you in the program you just received. Ask me how to get a copy of the enhanced guides.

7. Set up your FREE beachbody profile!

8. Pick a starting date, set weight goals,weigh yourself, write down measurements, take pictures and get ready for a journey. Fat to Fit!

9. Now you can tell others what your about to embark on and that all you ask is for some support along the way.

10. START! Make sure you log all your workouts on the beachbody profile and talk to others that are going through the same thing.

You will struggle and it will be the hardest thing you have ever done but when you make your goal you too can say I DID IT!

You put in the hard work, no one else! You deserve it and now you will never eat yourself back into those bigger jeans.

Congrats! Your making a great decision by changing your lifestyle for the better.

I’M READY

I guarantee one of these if not all will go away :

(Hate our jobs(most of us), have financial troubles, fatigued, stressed out)

Is P90X worth it?

phattyfit — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:51:43 +0000

The biggest question that everyone asks me is the one above. Is P90X worth it? Lets break this down a little bit and figure out if a $200 or less investment is worth it. It’s always about cost and results, so lets keep it simple. When you see a workout program on television you automatically think it’s a gimmick! I tried all kinds of gimmicky things like the Ab Roller, the Total Gym, and so on. Is P90X a gimmick? NO. It has been around for ten plus years and worked on me and several million others. P90X belongs to a family owned company called Beachbody. They carry a fine line of products like Chalean Extreme, Insanity, RevAbs, etc. The issue is will you commit to 90 days with one of the best trainers in the business? See you can do any exercise program and it will work or they wouldn’t sell it. So if your looking for proof, look no further my results were amazing! So now that you have seen proof lets get back to the P90X program.

Everyone program guarantee’s results but not this quickly, effective and not this drastic. My answer to the question above is YES, its worth it. Why? Proven results in millions of people including myself and a proven method. So let’s break this program down and show you the true value.

You can compare this program to any other one out there but if you want fast results then pick P90X or another Beachbody program.

For under $200 you will get the best trainer right in the comfort of you’re home. No driving to the gym, workout on you’re schedule, workout as little as 1 hour /day. Let me tell you that the program is not the easiest thing you will ever do and most likely the it will be the hardest thing you will ever do. This program is for the person that wants to make an extreme change. I always laugh when I tell people they should be in ”decent shape” for P90X because even if your in the best shape of you’re life you will struggle when you start this program. The biggest reason why is because it is based around muscle confusion. You will work muscles that you never even heard of. You will have to push through the pain everyday, 6 days a week for 90 days! Doing workouts like Kenpo, Yoga and Plyometrics that will target every part of you’re body. Every four weeks Tony Horton will work your body like no one else and as soon as you think its getting easy he switches it on you. Every 4 weeks is different and another reason why P90X is worth it. It is a 3 phase program and the breaking point is you’re first 30 days. For 30 days you will not see any results and neither will anyone else. Did you put that extra 30 plus pounds on in 30 days or 3 years? Exactly! So be patient and follow the program. Im convinced I want to buy P90X!

If you were handed a blue print to becoming rich in 3 years and that blue print 100% guaranteed that you would be rich, wouldn’t you follow it?

The same goes for P90X or any other Beachbody program. Follow and you will succeed guaranteed! Is P90X worth it to someone that is going to buy it and start it in a few weeks. NO! Keep making excuses people all those fatty foods will be in you’re face everywhere you go. Keep telling yourself this, that in 90 days I could be in the best shape EVER! Is P90X worth it? YES. If you’re convinced then lets talk about you’re investment.

It’s worth it so you’re options are to invest with a trusted beachbody coach like myself. I’m not going anywhere and have been doing this for almost 2 years.

Don’t Be Average!

phattyfit — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:00:24 +0000

I am thinking about getting back into shape and every time I wake up I don’t look forward to putting on those pants. I feel so fat but I don’t feel like working out because I hate it. This damn belt is on the last hole and soon I have to go buy a bigger one. I hate the clothes I have because they don’t fit and my average size shirt is pushing a large. It’s time to get my day moving so I look into the cupboards and don’t see anything that looks good that is easy to make. Screw it I will make a quick stop on the way to work and pick up a sandwich. Arby’s doesn’t look good and Subway has that new healthy breakfast but they don’t have a drive thru so I will settle for Starbucks. I love the caramel macchiato so I will get a grande size and a bagel with cream cheese. On my way to work I hear a commercial on the radio about this pill that will help me lose 30 pounds. Maybe I will look into that because I am too busy to find time to workout. Mid morning comes around and I am starving but lunch is still 2 hours away what should I do. Jill brought in some donuts and my favorite one is calling my name. This is my last week of eating bad and I will start exercising and eating healthy next week Monday. Oh this donut is so good and I deserve it so I really don’t care about my diet.

Finally lunch is here, this place is driving me crazy. Since I made some bad food choices this morning I think I might just eat a salad for lunch. The girls are going to Applebee’s so I think I might go with them since they have that under 550 calories menu. We arrive and get seated right away so as promised I order a water and a salad. On the way back to work I can’t seem to stop yawning so I make a pit stop at Starbucks and get a grande nonfat latte on ice. The day seems to go by so slowly and 5 pm is never getting here. Uh Oh! Why is my stomach growling at 3:30 in the afternoon? I bet it’s because I ate light at lunch and my body isn’t used to that. The vending machine has those Triscuits in it so I will grab that to tie me over until dinner. Finally 5 pm has arrived and home sweet home it is. Damn! I forgot that Billy has soccer practice at 6 and we have nothing to eat at home. Let me call hubby and see if he can pick up a pizza on the way home from work. Man that was so convenient and still 20 minutes to get Billy to practice. Now that I have an hour until I have to pick him up I will go to the store and buy some groceries for the rest of the week. If I’m going to start exercising next week I should buy healthier foods and stick to the produce section. I will get a lot of fruit and veggies but holy cow this is getting expensive. As I check out I notice that Rachael Ray has a new diet that helped that woman lose 30 pounds. As I thumb through it I notice that it requires a lot of time for cooking and I am so busy with work and the children that this diet will not work for me. I wish there was something easier for me to do but I can’t find time to exercise. The gym is too expensive so I will keep looking for something in the mean time. The week has come and gone and tomorrow is Monday but I don’t have a game plan. I will start walking just for now until I find something that I like doing. THE END….

Don’t be Average and make excuses for yourself, GET RESULTS!. Today is the day you put all that away and pick a Beachbody program. If your male or female try P90X and I promise it will change your life. If you’re more of a beginner then do Power 90. If you have already done one of the above then keep going and pick Insanity or RevAbs.

Coach Summit 2010

phattyfit — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 04:15:37 +0000

The 3 day summit was the best experience I have ever had because it was so rewarding to know that others are out there doing the same thing I am doing. Helping one person at a time become more health conscious and to exercise daily. My friend Brad, Andrea and myself arrived at separate times at LAX and grabbed a tiny rental car and were headed straight to the Beachbody headquarters. I was surprised that traffic to the place wasn’t that bad but we saw black Mercedes everywhere like it was just normal. On top of that every 25 cars anywhere in LA was a high end car like and Lamborghini or Ferrari. So we finally arrive at the headquarters and all I could think of was how cool is this going to be. We passed security and headed on up to the third floor and the tour began. After spending an hour and a half we headed back to the hotel to check in and eat. I was starving because all I had to eat was a P90X bar and that’s only good for a few hours. After checking in we headed to the outdoor mall across from our hotel and ate some good Thai/Chinese food. After walking past all the expensive shops we went back and picked up our welcome package. Our first workout was at 5 and it included 15 minutes with every Beachbody trainer. I have done RevAbs and P90X so I was super pumped for those but the most anticipated workout was Insanity. We got down to the room a little early because it was limited space and trying to fit 1,000 plus people into one room sounded crazy. I had videotaped a little bit of each trainer and separated them into two posts named Trainers I and Trainers II. The workout went well and set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

After the workout we had very little time to clean up and head to the exclusive Diamond Coach reception. This was an event that was limited to diamond coaches and above. Here I had an opportunity to feel extra special as the guest trainers were Tony Horton and Debbie Siebers from Slim in 6. I shared a beverage with Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon the founders of Beachbody. I hit it off really well with Debbie and her boyfriend Tom. The poor guy was taking pictures of her and her fans for the two days. It was comical in a way but he was being a good sport. The night ended around 1 am in Blake Warrington’s (upline coach)suite where we discussed strategy moving forward and where we all wanted to be within the company. See anyone can be a coach but not everyone can be dedicated so I look for people that believe in the products first. We got about 6 hours of sleep and to be honest after having a few cold ones the night before I wasn’t looking forward to Insanity. I was actually nervous because I was a little under the weather and I knew I was gonna get my butt kicked. The workout was so intense that I fell to my knees during the last 10 minutes and could barely breath! Damn I thought after doing two rounds of P90X and 1 round of RevAbs that I would be in awesome shape. After the workout we had a chance to meet Shaun T and take a couple pictures with him. There was about a 1 hour gap between the workout and the breakout sessions. That morning they were letting us try Shakeology for breakfast and I have to admit it was fantastic! The chocolate was the best because they added peanut butter and banana’s to it. I am now a big fan and include it in daily meals. They let you order it as a Home Direct so shipping is free! I had a chance to shower and make it to the first session which was about Shakeolgy. After Shakeology we moved to a few more breakouts where we learned more about the business and the opportunities in the future. We were given about 3 hours before the awards dinner so I went up to the room and crashed falling a sleep to golf.

The dinner was fast approaching and I had an opportunity to sit at a table with Debbie Siebers and the table next to us had Tony Horton and Brett Hoebel. I didn’t win any awards that night but I enjoyed one hell of a dinner and good conversation. Lots of money was given out that night including 2 checks for $120k each! Oh that was just there bonus checks and didn’t even include all the other ways they were paid. The ceremony also included future workout programs like TurboFire and Body Gospel, the new Diamond Pack, future award trips and the 25K winners of the success club.

We stayed up once again until 1 am and got up early to make it to the last day of the summit. This was the most important day for me because Chalean, Tony, Carl, and motivational speaker Darren Hardy spoke to us. There were a few other key note speakers but the few listed were the most intriguing. Chalean discussed better business practices and how social network sites can help grow your business. Tony discussed his 11 laws and Carl closed it out with a fantastic message and gave me confidence that Beachbody is not going anywhere. Why? Well because Beachbody has been around for over 15 years and they didn’t even get into the affiliate program until 2 years ago. Darren Hardy was good as well and he gave us some good information on how to keep striving for success. The funny thing was when he presented his little package of videos and books. I knew it was coming but I guess everyone has to make a living. We wrapped up at noon and had 9 hours to kill before my red eye back to Grand Rapids, MI. My friends Brad and Andrea had never been to LA so we headed to Beverly Hills for some lunch. Sitting on the patio in the hills made me think that someday I want to live this life. Not the rich high class life but not having to worry about money at the end of the day. I think I counted over 100 Porsche’s, 20 Ferrari’s, 10 Lamborghini’s, and random high end Bentleys and Rolls Royce. We checked out the Kodak theatre and the street performers before finishing off with a tour of the celebrity homes. If there wasn’t anything more motivating then to see some of the sizes of homes and how people lived out here. We got back after an hour and a half and headed to the airport. Shared a few moments of the weekend and headed off home to Grand Rapids. The red eye was not fun but the face on my little girl and boy as I approached the waiting area was amazing! Keep pushing play and try a program out already!

Beachbody’s Turbofire and Body Gospel!

phattyfit — Wed, 19 May 2010 21:33:41 +0000

When I was out in LA at the Coach Summit I had a chance to do the Turbo Fire workout and I have to say the music was awesome and the workout was tough. Chalean Johnson has done several other workout programs like Chalean Extreme and Turbo Jam. I think this is a great workout for anyone man or women trying to get back in shape. Below is a short preview of whats to come soon to your living room.

If you think that was awesome then look at the video below for all you spiritual people out there. Its an interesting concept of working out and religion but why not there is nothing else like it on the market. Plus if you combine one of these workouts and Shakeologythen you will definitely see results. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

If you need help picking out a program then try P90X, Insanity or RevAbs and get ready for a lifetime change! If you are having success with one of the above workouts then maybe you should try out some of my healthy meals.

Beachbody Trainers (Part II)

phattyfit — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:00:24 +0000

If you’re reading this first it may sound a little confusing so click on trainers Part I before reading this as it will make a more sense. Overall the workout was going great but it was a little annoying because I kept bumping into other people. The next trainer was Leandro Carvalho who has created the new and upcoming program Brazil butt Lift. Now this guy is sassy and is all about weird moves that incorporate salsa dancing and lots of shaking. It was definitely not up my alley but I liked his enthusiasm and his spunk! I caught some video of him as well and for anyone looking to tone the lower region them consider his program. I bet you will shed some pounds and have some serious fun doing it. I also want to mention that these videos are a bit slow and I think it was my camera but you get the idea.

Man you can tell how excited the crowd was when Shaun T came out to the stage. People have been ranting and raving about his new program Insanity. I personally had a chance to not only do his workout but meet the man in person. My friend Brad and I swore up and down that he had Ab implants but of course it’s just pure hard work. Funny how much a difference makes when you follow a workout program and eat healthy meals. By the time Shaun T came on stage I was exhausted and ready for the couch. Fortunately I had worked out all week and prepared myself for a beating. The greatest message that Shaun T could have delivered that day was that he was congratulating us for changing our lives for us, not for anyone else. If your going to do P90X, Insanity, RevAbs etc, then do it for you and when you get you’re results then coach someone else to live healthier.

Speaking of living a healthy lifestyle this guy Tony Horton was phenomenal on stage. Tony is 54 years old and has a body of a 30 year old man. For a man his age you would expect a little love around the waist but nothing else then muscle and Ab definition. Arms more toned than many other people at his age and it all comes down to how he decided one day to stay fit the rest of his life. His 90 day program has changed the most lives out of any other beachbody program and continues to give people just like me the results they never had. Below is a short video that I filmed while making an attempt to finish the workout session strong.

After it was finally over the tone was set for the rest of the weekend where we were going to learn how to help people like your self get back the body they once had. I am not only very passionate about beachbody and what it has done for me but I am very passionate about finding a workout program that will help you. If all you do today is sign up for a free account then you have taken the next step to becoming a new you. If you are committed to you and ready to give it your all in the next 60 or 90 days then try it one of the programs. The biggest question I get asked is which one should I do? The two most compared are P90X or Insanity. If you have questions please contact me at Gianni@phattyfit.com

Beachbody Trainers (Part I)

phattyfit — Sat, 08 May 2010 16:32:19 +0000

So being out in LA for the weekend truly was the best experience for me and I assume anyone else that was out there. One of the greatest things for me was knowing that there are several others trying to accomplish one thing. That one thing is promoting a healthy lifestyle to everyone they know. Whether you jump on the beachbody band wagon or not just stay fit and eat healthy meals. I had several awesome experiences at the Coach Summit and this experience will be based on my workouts with the trainers and getting to know them on a personal level. We had arrived in the hills and after checking in and grabbing some lunch our much anticipated workout was approaching. It was crazy! People were all crashing the doors wating to get into the big ballroom where this workout was going to take place. It was a little over an hour workout and included all the trainers that had previously made a workout dvd for beachbody. Each segment was about 15 minutes long so I got a taste of everyones personal workout. So as crammed as the place was we were all there for one reason, get our butts kicked by them. Before reading on please be aware that the video for some reason lags and I think it has to do with the fact that I recorded in HD. Just FYI!

The first trainer was Debbie Seibers from Slim In 6. She promotes getting in shape in just six weeks with her program. Debbie was one of the original beachbody trainers so she came out to get us all stretched and warmed up for the more hardcore programs. I was more towards the back of the room but still managed to get some footage of her on stage and the excitement in the room. I had an opportunity to have dinner and cocktails with her at some of the nightly diamond coach functions and she is so down to earth. Her poor boyfriend Tom was just taking picture after picture of her and someone that wanted to meet her. We chatted about it and he handled it very well.

Brett Hoebel was the next up and man do I love this guy! He just walked in and started to pump up the crowd right away. The best part was that I knew all his moves from his DVD program called RevABs. Alot of people were confused on his moves but I follwed them with ease. Brett Hoebel focuses on core strength and Reving your Abs. His method has helped me with other workouts and programs. I had a chance to hang out with him for a few minutes and they are still testing the RevAbs program and waiting to see results from people that have tried it. I lost about 5-8 pounds doing it and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to still workout but only has less then 40 minutes extra per day.

After Brett was done the place went crazy because we all knew that Chalean Johnson was coming next. She is the creator of Chalean Extreme, Turbo Jam and the upcoming Turbo Fire program that she allowed us to sample that day. She is just as popular as Tony Horton and has been with the beachbody company since day one. The video below was a little taste of Chalean’s new program Turbo Fire so let me know what you think. The music was awesome and very motivating to workout to.

After Chalean came on I was already sweating like crazy but we still had the hardest workouts coming up. I didn’t want to make this too long so I have a part II to my trainers experience that involved the creators of Brazil Butt Lift, Insanity and P90X.
