What is Body Beast?

Body Beast™ is a new, innovative, comprehensive bodybuilding system
proven to add 10 pounds of muscle in just 90 days. Created by Sagi Kalev,
world-renowned trainer and former two-time Mr. Israel, Body Beast combines
extreme workouts, groundbreaking nutrition, and scientifically advanced
supplementation. Whether you’re new to lifting weights or are a certified gym
rat, Body Beast will deliver results beyond what you imagined possible.

Body Beast includes 12 different cutting-edge workouts that fuse the best of old-school resistance training with a new breakthrough in sports science called Dynamic Set Training™.
Increases in resistance, power, tempo, and volume lead to greater muscle gain and fast results.
The Body Beast Eating Plan helps you increase in size, maintain new muscle growth, and cut up to be in competition shape.
Four new extreme supplements specifically designed to enhance growth and performance.

Body Beast is the first training regimen designed to get BIG results in the
comfort of your home. You don’t need to join a gym, hire a spotter, or have
an Olympic weight lifting set. With dumbbells, the correct nutrition, and the
desire to work hard, Body Beast will help you pack on lean muscle, without
the complications and risks of steroids or growth hormones. And the best
part is, Sagi Kalev will motivate and inspire you, as he has done for countless
professional bodybuilders over the last few decades.

This is Sagi Kalev. I suspect he knows something about fitness. Just a guess.

Why is Body Beast so effective?
One word: Testosterone.
It’s the primary hormone your body
calls upon to develop muscle mass, and
Dynamic Set Training is designed around
enhancing your production of it. The more
testosterone your body makes, the faster
you get big. With Body Beast, different
training strategies are employed—from
Prefatigue Sets to Drop, Force, and Tempo
Sets—creating greater time under tension
and a faster and more effective workout.

Ok, but what makes Body Beast unique?
The three phases. Body Beast has
three specially designed phases, with
corresponding nutrition phases, to help you
Build, Bulk, and become a Beast. Build, the
first phase, focuses on creating a strong
foundation physically and nutritionally,
while getting your head in the game for
Phase 2. Bulk, the second phase, is where
size begins to show and your body really
begins to change. And Beast, the final
phase, is where you cut up, get chiseled,
and get ready for competition. In just
90 days, you truly can become a Beast.

Why Body Beast instead of a gym?

You’ll get huge at a fraction of the cost of a gym membership.
You’re not just working your muscles, you get an in-depth bodybuilding education that you can use long after you’ve completed the program.
The Body Beast Eating Plan shows you a healthy, delicious way to eat that will help you build muscle fast—and maintain that muscle for the long haul.
The plan also shows you how to supplement the safe, effective, and legal way.
You have access to your Team Beachbody® Coach’s expert advice, as well as that of Sagi and the rest of Beachbody’s educated fitness and nutrition staff, via chats, the Message Boards, and newsletters. It’s a vastly better way to get your questions answered than asking some random loudmouthed gym rat that’ll just quote some blog post. (Hey, I write a blog!!!!)

Look, this program is chock full of all sorts of bonus's and freebies, and its an education and a transformation all for under $100. You can't beat that, not with the Beachbody guarantee. I'm not partial to crazy bulk, but I could stand to add a few pounds. If you're Beast enough to keep up, or brave enough to out beast me, hit me up.

I'll also be doing the occasional workout from other programs such as RevAbs or P90X or Insanity, and if that's where you wanna go I've got your back. Next post you'll see is gonna be about this new Beast, me.

Now go sweat some more.

You've got to exceed your current limits to reach success!

The science of tasty, tasty health.
1. First of all, how much weight do you want to lose?
2. What type of diets have you tried in the past?
3. How do you feel those diets have worked out for you?
4. We have been so busy doing phone/email interviews to figure out who is really serious about losing weight, because there is a lot of work on our part to help you lose weight. Its not just you going on another fad diet. This is Guanteed to work for you. We need clients who are absolutely serious about losing weight. So how serious are you about losing weight?
5. What is the main reason you have for wanting to lose weight?
Great! You're still here! Let me explain exactly how Shakeology works, because its an extremely effective weight control program. There is one working mechanism here: the shake mix. Shakeology's blend of ingredients (the most diverse and effective on earth) are targeted towards quality health and providing your body with vital nutrients.
You see, making sure your body has exactly what it needs to do its job is how Shakeology succeeds where other products fail. How can your body hunger when it has all the tools it needs to run effectively and efficiently? See a break down of ingredients and effects here. (I'm no scientist lol)
So, even if you tend to eat out of stress, depression, or boredom, or you might be a binge eater- instead of eating three cookies should eat the whole bag- or you might be a nibbler who picks at food all day long, or if you're just a plain out-of-control eater, it will help you normalize your appetite. Best part? The f***ing taste! Its best competitor (as far as effectiveness and price go) tastes like industrial wall cleaner. And, get this: the average weight lost is the clients' target goal. I don't know, but all I know is, Shakeology is hands down the last nutritional supplement I ever needed.

Reboot your body to its optimal condition.

Original Article:

FARGO – On Day One of her 10-day “Master Cleanse,” my sister emailed me: “The cat food actually smells edible.”

By Day Five she was dreaming about food and planning her first post-cleanse meal (salmon with rice pilaf).

As a test of self-discipline, she made it through the detox on nothing but Master Cleanse “lemonade.”

The concoction consists of filtered water, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemons and sea salt.

(I took two sips of the liquid, and there’s no way I could drink it for 10 days, let alone for one day.)

My sister was taking in only 800-900 calories a day, almost entirely from the syrup.

When Kimberly Ough of Fargo tried a similar cleanse, she felt like she was starving herself.

“I remember licking the maple syrup out of the jar,” the 32-year-old said.

Men and women try juice diets, cleanses and detox programs in hopes of “purifying” their bodies, gaining energy or losing weight.

It’s bottoms up in the name of releasing toxins, though Sanford Health dietitian Kathy Olson said there’s no way to measure whether that actually occurs.

“There’s really no research to support that they’re beneficial,” Olson said. “In fact, there’s research showing that they aren’t.”

My sister (whose goal wasn’t to lose weight) said when people use the Master Cleanse as a crash diet they tend to regain the weight immediately, “since it is, after all, extreme deprivation.”

Besides, Olson said, fast weight loss may reflect water weight instead of actual body mass.

Yet she said people continue to try this or that new cleanse, or they create their own using bits and pieces from different programs and advice from others.

Olson said the word “cleanse” is misleading. “It’s just a new buzz term for restricting what a person’s consuming,” she said.

'It’s a commitment'

Ough, herself a Beachbody “coach” since 2009, will finish the 21-day Beachbody Ultimate Reset tomorrow.

Unlike the three-day program she attempted 10 years ago, the three-phase Reset is a “no-starvation cleanse.”

The program promises to “Reclaim your body’s natural balance, release the harmful materials you may be storing within you, and restore your system to its maximum health.”

While taking supplements, you slowly eliminate red meat and dairy the first week. In week two, you transition to a vegetarian, then a completely vegan diet.

Fitness instructor Katie Seier said on Day 10 of the Reset that the biggest benefit has been learning to work through her emotions instead of eating them.

“During this cleanse you have to focus on emotions and why they’re happening and why they’re making you ‘hungry,’ ” said the 20-year-old Minot State University senior.

Seier, also a Beachbody coach, said she felt satisfied but missed working out. You’re not supposed to exercise on the program.

Ough said your body’s going through such an “internal workout,” the company’s creators don’t want you to tax your muscles while you’re doing it.

Should you workout today?

Friend just posted this and I wanted to pass on...A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it...?" Still the hands were... u............p in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special-Don't EVER forget it." If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it may bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.
I think that this message says a lot for those of us going through rough times, struggling with our self image, our weight and our physiques. That's why I posted this. This is all about YOU. YOU are the one accountable, you want the six-pack abs because its for YOU. YOU are amazing and that's what I love about you.
So here's what to do now: Go to the tab up top that says :JOIN: and sign up- don't worry the account is free no strings attached. Sign up and let me help you. Inside you'll find a nearly limitless supply of resources, support, care and knowledge and together we WILL Succeed.
Beachbody has a slogan: Decide, Commit, Succeed. You've already decided to make the change, make the difference. Sign up and COMMIT. The only natural step after that is to succeed...
To my newest fitness freaks, to those who've struggled with me in the past:

Happy New Year.

Ultimately, the key to getting Shredded six-pack abs and general Wellness is the food we eat.

OH NO! COACH, NOT ANOTHER ARTICLE ABOUT DIETING AND WEIGHTLOSS!

Calm down, skippy. This isn't your grandpa's tales of raw eggs and beef, nor is it one of those new fangled look-how-pretty-I-made-this-nasty-tasting-health-food-now-eat-it plans. In fact, I'm not suggesting a diet plan AT ALL.

What?

Here's the deal: Today is Feed me Friday. Its a new serial post I have planned where I show you the simple recipe for a one-serving meal that's super cheap and super healthy and guaranteed to be nutritious.

The key to being shredded is making sure your body gets the nutrients it needs. If its not craving those giving awesomenesses, why would you try and stuff your face. FACT: Give your body what it needs and it repays you in the mirror :)

So the recipe; Garden Frittata. Mmmmm. I got this one from Shaun T's guide with Insanity: The Asylum.

Ingredients:
2 tsp. Grape seed or canola oil.
1 clove of garlic, minced.
1/4 cup small-diced red onion
1/4 cup shredded yellow squash
1/4 cup shredded zucchini
1/8 cup shredded carrots
2 whole eggs plus 3 egg whites, beaten.
2 slices while wheat bread, toasted.

Preheat oven to 350.
Add oil to ovenproof sauté pan and heat on medium until oil is hot and simmers. Add garlic, zucchini, squash, carrots and red onion; cook until onions are translucent. Add eggs and mix well. Place pan in oven and bake 5-10 minutes. Eggs should puff when done. Remove from oven and invert pan on plate. Serve with toast: Enjoy.

Easy Ab Tips

2011-12-25T23:47:00.000-06:00

Have you ever seen people with rock hard, six pack abs and wish that you have one like that? There are people who would like to have a great body without spending too much time in the gym. With the fast paced kind of lifestyle that most people have, would there be easy ways to get the body that you want? 10-Minute Trainer and the Power Half Hour are options many of my friends have picked up.

Actually, there are some easy and simple tips that would help you get the six pack stomach that you want. Avoid eating while watching the television. Since your mind and focus will be on the movie and television show that you are watching, you would not be able to watch the amount of food that you are eating. You may tend to overeat while watching television.

Besides, when you can have Tony Horton on your TV, why have anything else?

Do not skip breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. Upon waking up, the metabolism is accelerated and fat starts to burn. You would need enough food to cope to cope up with the day. Calories would burn while you perform your daily tasks. By avoiding a meal, you tend to overeat the next meal. Since you would feel that need to make up for the lost fat. The morning is also a splendid opportunity for my fitness monsters to throw in a quick 10-Minute Trainer exercise after a Shakeology breakfast.

Incorporate good eating habits to your daily routine. Aside from making sure you eat regularly and not in front of the television, you need to make sure that good fats are incorporated to your diet. Some people shudder in the word fats, well, there are fats that are good for your. Fish oil, flaxseed oil, extra virgin olive oil are the healthy fats.

Water is good for you. The more water you drink, the better. You don’t have to stick just drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water when you can drink more. But we are required to drink that much water everyday to keep hydrated. This would regulate fat burning and body metabolic process. This is the mantra of the truly focused athlete.
If drinking milk, then choose skim milk. There are healthier and tastier alternatives, all you need to do is make sure that whenever you go to the store to buy groceries, you choose the healthier alternative. I personally prefer almond milk (Silk brand). Think about it this way: Cow's milk is specifically designed by genetics for what? Fattening baby calves.

Diet is incomplete if you don’t put some mobility into your routine. So still incorporate exercise routine into your lives. Doing a hundreds of sit-ups a day is not good enough. Think about your whole body and not only about your abdomen. When aiming for six pack abs, cardiovascular exercises are a must. This kind of exercise increase stamina and heart condition, it burns fat in a quick way. Cardiovascular exercises can be done 5 minutes a day, and can increase it to 45 minutes. Aside from cardiovascular exercises you can also do some weight training to get the body that you want. Every movement the body does is tied by the core. Fire your Core! 10-Minute Trainer blends these ideas perfectly.

Not all exercises can be done inside the gym nor should they be kept to your living room; take your exercise outside. Take a walk, stand straight in a cocktail party, you can even do some exercises during your break time while you are sitting down on your chair.

Aside from proper diet and exercise, getting the minimum seven to eight hours of sleep every night is very important. Sleeping rejuvenates your body. It repairs muscular system by decreasing the stress hormone levels.

And last, you need to be consistent. You may plan or devise your own exercise regimen, but getting your six pack abs just does not stay there. You must be consistent with the plan or regimen you devised. That is why diet or exercise do not work, because we lack consistency in doing things. Six pack abs are easy, as long as you put yourself into it.

Strive for more. Do your best forget the rest. In the time it took you to do this, you could have done one of the powerful and economic workouts in the 10-Minute Trainer videos.

That's Tony There. The meanest fitness monster I know.
