Is Shakeology Really as Good as They Say?
Posted by Amanda on Jun 3, 2010
I have to say that one of the major deciding factors in my decision to eventually become a Beachbody coach was the fact that coaches receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products. A few months ago this didn’t really excite me that...

Posted by Amanda on May 21, 2010
Like a lot of other P90X newbies I really hated Yoga X the first time I did it. But week after week I managed to push through, and now I look forward to “Yoga Thursday.” However, while I enjoy doing Yoga X now, I have to admit that...

Posted by Amanda on May 19, 2010
Geez, all I can say is THANK GOD RECOVERY WEEK IS OVER. I don’t know why, but last week was pretty difficult for me. Not because the workouts I did were hard, but because I had to take a break from my regular schedule! It’s kinda...

I got an email today from one of my P90X buddies about the challenges associated with doing P90X and training for a half-marathon at the same time. Her question was (in a nutshell), “Do you do P90X and run on the same day? Do you alternate? I just don’t know how I can do both of these without...

recent from Pets and Veterinary Medicine Please Stay Away from Cheap Flea Medication!
The most important thing to remember when shopping for flea medication is to STAY AWAY FROM ALL FLEA PRODUCTS SOLD OVER THE COUNTER.
