I’ve had the fortune to achieve the best health, and the best body i’ve ever had in my life and have learned so much in the process. I want to help others do the same. Are you overweight? Just out of shape? Need to build muscle? Prepare for a sport? I can help you. My fitness story: I grew up active. I was big into mountain biking when I was in highschool, and was roaming all over the south east going to races, and winning quite a few. I went off to college, and my activities slowly became less and less. After college I entered a design school, which are always very demanding on your time. At that point didn’t exercise,...

The Beachbody Challenge Group
posted by Ted
The top reason I here from people explaining why they were never able to complete a full fitness program such as p90x, Insanity, or Turbofire is motivation. Many people make it to 2 weeks, a month, or sometimes 2 months… but then something happens. They just stop! One day they get up,...

p90x2 Phase 1 Review
posted by Ted
I have wrapped up p90x2 phase 1, last week, and I gotta say, I loved it. I held off on starting the program because I was doing some pretty frequent physical therapy for two issues. One was an issue with the muscles in my upper-back/shoulder, and the other was an issue with IT band syndrome....
