Insanity Challenge Pack

InsanityFit

Don’t tell Tony Horton but I think I’ve leaned more towards Insanity in the last year than I have P90X.  Now for the whole month of April you can get the entire Insanity Challenge Pack for $180. Say what? Ya heard right! With the Challenge pack you’ll receive the Insanity Fitness program, one of four of the Shakeology flavors (your choice) and a free 30-day membership to the Team Beachbody Club, where you’ll find all the support to complete this badass 60-day program.  That’s a total of over $90 of savings if you purchase all of these items separately.  Killer deal if you’re trying to get in shape.

A little About the Program

InsanityInsanity is Shaun T’s biggest fitness program.  This total-body conditioning program is designed to transform your body & fitness level in just 60 days.  Who doesn’t want to look and feel better in 60 days?  The secret is an advanced training technique called MAX Interval Training, which flips the standard approach of exercising, interval training, on its head.  MAX Interval Training has participants working out rigorously for long bursts with brief cool downs in between, so they’re working out harder and longer.  This is a no joke program that is designed to seriously kick your ass.  If you’re ready for a challenge then this is it, for real.

 

A little About the Shake

Shakeology is the most delicious, nutrient-dense superfood-packed protein shake on the planet.  It contains more than 70 natural ingredients derived from rich, nutrient-dense whole-food sources from around the world.  The Healthiest Meal of the Day comes in 4 flavors: Chocolate Vegan, Tropical Strawberry (Vegan), Greenberry, or regular Chocolate.  I can tell you that my favorite is regular chocolate but all 4 are super delicious and filling.  My family has been drinking them daily for almost 2 years now.  They’re also great on the road when traveling to keep from sabotaging your meal plan by eating out and grabbing junk.

So that’s it…All of April you have the chance to start this challenge at a reduced price.  You have no excuses now, because really all that holds us back from reaching the goals we want is simply ourselves.  If you’re ready to go and want to give it a shot then shoot me a message on my contact page or simply hit the link below and take the hardest step…choosing to change!!

Wind is a Beast

Wind

Mother Nature has a special way of dealing a one-two punch to your body that most times you can’t see coming. What I’m speaking of is wind and sometimes it can be a beast to deal with.  It’s one of the most frustrating things to deal with, in my mind, when it comes to cycling.  Sometimes it feels as if you’re dragging an extra person behind you or that someone pulled a prank and tightened your brakes down when you weren’t looking.  It’s something all cyclists have to deal with at every ride they go on.  Whether you’re riding in a group or out on your own, you’re dealing with the wind.

I’m not sure if it’s me but it always seems like there is some cosmic torture guy standing by ready to slam a strong headwind at me whenever I’m feeling a little confident.  Funny thing is it almost always seems to happen when I’m riding solo and don’t have the opportunity to draft off of someone else.  Maybe that’s the dreaded Murphy’s Law?  Not sure but there is a huge industry behind this whole wind thing.  I mean HUGE, I would say everything made for cycling probably goes through some kind of wind tunnel test if they want to be taken seriously.  We’re talking anything from aerodynamic bikes, helmets,  kits, lights, shoes & gear to well…you get the idea.  I’ve even seen these little ear contraptions you can wear to reduce the wind noise in your ears when you’re riding.

So the question is, what do you do when you’re hitting a really windy day? Do you push through and grind on your petals?  I often try to picture myself climbing some huge mountain in France even though realistically I’m on the coast somewhere being hammered by Mother Nature :)

What is Shakeology?

I can remember the first day when I asked “What is Shakeology?”  That was almost 3 years ago now and I have been drinking it ever since.  What I can tell you is that for me it’s the best meal replacement shake available that’s loaded with over 70 power packed ingredients.  Don’t take my word for it though.  If you haven’t heard of it before then watch this video.  It’s a hilarious clip done by Tony Horton (creator of P90X) and it all rings true and hits home for me and my family as we wouldn’t go a day without it.  Look, we all get busy and have a lot going on in our lives and with Shakeology it provides a filling in that nutrition gap that we can sometimes overlook.  Watch the video and comment below.  I would love your feedback!

 

If you’re interested in trying a sample of Shakeology just Contact me and we’ll get you set up.  Or if you’re ready to order just head over to the TnTFitness Club Store to get the ball rolling.

Eat Clean in 2013

Ultimate Reset

OK, I’ll admit it.  I fell off the fitness wagon.  Yep, I fell hard.  After completing the TnT-Fitness-Club-Reset in October and having great success (see my results) I fell right into the holiday traps and gained back 7 of the 12 lbs I lost.  But that’s OK.  It happens, I’m human.  To my defense a lot has happened in these past few months.  Life basically…….got in the way and that’s going to happen.  It’s going to happen to all of us at some point.  Something will get in the way of our health & fitness.  What’s important to remember is to not let it happen for too long of a period.  Get back on that horse and keep driving forward. That’s why I’m making it a challenge to “Eat Clean in 2013″.

To hammer my point even deeper I’ve decided to do the Tnt-Fitness-Club-Reset again.  This time with a few others making it a challenge that each of us can hold each other accountable to.  In reality I don’t have much weight to lose but for me that’s not what this is about.  The Reset is also about cleansing and detoxing your body.  The weight loss is just a bonus.  What you get from it is a clean slate inside and out.  It defogs your mind, body & spirit.  I can use that right now.  I’m pretty clouded up in the noggin and I’m ready to charge forward into the next month and start fresh.  Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and see what you’ve done wrong then create a plan to tackle the issues.  That’s where I’m at and I’m looking forward to moving onward.

Get Off My Wheel-No Drafting Here

In cycling one of the best ways to conserve energy when riding in a group or with a partner is to draft. By riding in the draft or slip stream of another rider you can save up to 30% of your energy. A small group of riders can conserve a lot of energy by rotating (called a pace line) with each one taking a turn at the front in the wind. Where this can sometimes become an issue is when someone decides they aren’t going to take their turn and will sit in the back.

When this happens most of the time it’s someone you don’t know. A random cling-on or stranger that jumps on your wheel to take advantage of your hard work and reap the benefits of drafting without actually providing any assistance or sharing the load themselves. If you’ve been out on the road enough times then this has happened to you. We all know what it feels like. It’s straight up bullshit. If I don’t know you, then get the hell off my wheel. Seriously, I will do anything to get you off of my wheel if you aren’t willing to take a pull at the front. I’ll slow down, speed up, if I get pissed enough I’ll even stand up and just coast. I’ll even ask you how the wind is back there. I don’t jump on anyone’s wheel and take a draft unless they’re trying to pass me in which I’ll do my best to hold on (most of the time failing) but other than that I won’t draft you unless I know you and I’m willing to share the load myself by taking a pull at the front. If we’re buds or riding in the same group, shoot I’ll pull for you all day but again if I don’t know you…get the hell off my wheel.

People can draft or sit on your wheel in life as well. Ever have that co-worker that takes all the credit for your hard work? Or how about those people at work that can’t seem to do anything on their own and you have to hand hold them through all the projects and/or training? They’re drafting you and taking advantage just like the cyclist! They’re sitting in your slipstream coasting through their life/job while you’re putting in all the effort. There you are busting your ass to get things done and you’ve got a cling-on sitting on your wheel soaking up the glory. Step up and tell them “Get of my wheel, there’s no drafting here!”

So if you see me out on the road, pull up next to me and say hi and take a pull at the front but don’t sit on my wheel because you will regret it. I will call you out and I will say something. Don’t be that guy/gal that slips by in life sitting in someone’s draft. Take a pull at life and push through and you’ll go much farther than you’ve ever expected.
