One Tweet, Two Tweet...


Celebs tweet and talk about it, magazines write about it, and many know about it from the infomercials or from first hand experience…Blood, Sweat, & Tears…well, maybe just the sweat (& lots of it)!  I’m talking about Beachbody fitness programs and in the case of many celebrity mentions, P90X.  I know Beachbody programs work and many other friends and fellow Independent Beachbody Coaches can attest, if you follow the program as outlined it WILL WORK FOR YOU, but the question is: How bad do you want it?  Are you willing to work for it?  In this case the “it” I’m referring to is whatever result(s) you want.  Do you want to become a better athlete, become healthier, faster, stronger, leaner; maybe you want to work on eating cleaner and be a better role model for your family?  No magic pills here…anything worth attaining in life doesn’t come without hard work!  In this case, hard work pays off! 

At the Grammy Awards in February, Singer Sheryl Crow mentioned to E!’s Guiliana that she’d been doing P90X to get into such amazing shape.  Sheryl looks amazing in her red carpet interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEUPf4JUoW4   First off, yes we can all agree that Sheryl has always looked great, but lets keep in mind that she is currently 47 years young!  So, it is likely that she has to work a bit harder in recent years to keep her physique looking fabulous.  One might argue that her physique is in even better shape now than 10 years ago.  In any case, FITNESS magazine recently undertook a test of P90X after hearing Shery’s comment and their review was quite positive.  Read the review yourself, if you’re skeptical: http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/real-plans/celebrity/how-sheryl-crow-stays-fit-the-p90x-workout/ . 

 

If you watched Without a Trace last year, you may have noticed that Poppy Montgomery lost 70 pounds post-delivery of her son and guess what?…she lost it using P90X and by eating a consistent calorie allowance daily.  People magazine wrote about Poppy’s post-pregnancy weight loss: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20245512,00.html

 

S0, maybe you’re not into Sheryl or Poppy.  Perhaps you’re a sports fan?  Well, I’m not into watching professional sports myself, but I hear Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz, along with his wife, also completed P90X during the off season and on the heals (no pun intended) of an injury.  He talks about his weight loss and improvements: http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/braves/stories/2009/04/02/matt_diaz_news.html

 

Additionally, Baltimore Raven Linebacker Ray Lewis used P90X.  Can’t speak to your Brett Favre loyalty after he left Green Bay, but traitor or not, he tweeted about doing P90X.  I guess there are multiple Brett Favre’s on Twitter, but we’ll just assume it is the real ex-Packer himself.  Speaking of Tweeting, if you need more (unpaid) celebrity endorsements, Ashton Kucher & cougar wife Demi Moore (both hot, you gotta admit it!) also Tweeted about their experience with P90X and People Magazine gave their tweet a nod: http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0,,20222169_20266520,00.html

As stated in People Magazine, “The actor [Ashton Kucher] recently admitted he had to step up his fitness regimen for an upcoming role. ‘Time to get serious. I'm so paranoid about doing scenes with my shirt off.’ Meanwhile, his wife [Demi Moore] has also spilled about keeping up with her man. ‘I have only done the yoga DVD of the P90X so far and that kicked my a--! The husband is banging it out everyday though! I need to motivate!!’” 

 

Well, if you don’t think P90X is your thing, there are plenty to choose from!  Variety is the spice of life.  The point is to DO SOMETHING!!! Heck, even P. Diddy (Sean Combs) tweeted about a Beachbody workout.  He tweeted about doing Shaun T’s hip Hop Abs and even invited people to join him!  I just think it is an incredible attestation to the quality, effectiveness, and convenience of Beachbody’s fitness and nutrition programs, since these celebrities and sports figures could certainly afford to hire ANY personal trainer they want or buy any fitness equipment they desire.  P90X & Beachbody are the real deals, in more ways than one….can’t beat the price, especially when compared to a gym membership.  Even more of a steal when you consider the inconvenience of going to the gym, wasting time driving to & fro, gas expense, cute workout outfit, time oogling over some gym hotties…you get the point!

 

Summer is just around the corner; are you happy with the way you look and feel?  If not, now is a great time to start a new program, shake things up, and get your metabolism revved up for summer activities.  There’s no time like the present!  I’d be happy to talk to you about all the possible ways to reach your goals, like healthy eating/cooking tips and adding more activity to your life, including looking at the various Beachbody programs available to best meet your needs.  There is certainly a program for every taste, style, and fitness level. And don’t forget, you’ll never be alone in this venture.  As a Beachbody Coach (& current or future friend) I’m here for you.  Plus, you’ll find the Team Beachbody community is very supportive as well.
