				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beachbody-Coaching-Canada.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-4098" title="Beachbody Coaching Canada" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beachbody-Coaching-Canada.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="332" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Beachbody Coaching Opportunity is finally coming to Canada! </strong></p>
<p>There are some details to understand first, so Please READ THIS WHOLE POST before you assume anything.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Canadian Beachbody Coaching is opening up on October 1st 2012!</span></h2>
<p>I know that many of you have been waiting a long time for this to happen and it was finally announced TODAY!  Starting October 1st, Canadians can sign up to become Beachbody Coaches by enerting into the &#8220;pre-launch&#8221; phase of the process. <strong>On OCTOBER 1st, Canadian citizens will be allowed to sign up for the U.S. teambeachbody coaching opportunity.  </strong></p>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">Details about Canada Beachbody Coaching</span></h2>
<p><strong>Canadian citizens can sign up for the U.S. coaching opportunity</strong>.  This means you will be a teambeachbody coach just like a U.S. citizen would be, and that you will receive commission payments in U.S. dollars and get U.S. tax documents for your coaching business.  Once final launch is complete (estimated to be mid 2013), your U.S. Beachbody coaching business will seamlessly transition to a Canada Beachbody coaching business account with Canadian currency, Canadian tax documents, and a Canadian distribution center for your customers.  You won’t lose any customers or downline coaches when the full launch happens.</p>
<p>The Canada Beachbody Coaching “Pre-Launch” is simply your opportunity to get started now (october 1st)!  Be the first in your area to plug people into challenge groups, get them moving toward a healthy and fit lifestyle, and be able to be their official Canada Beachbody coach!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">Canada Beachbody Coaching RULES</span></h2>
<p>There are some rules associated with the Canada Beachbody Coaching “Pre-Launch” (things that you can’t do as a Canadian Beachbody coach until full launch is complete in 2013)</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>You can’t “re-sell”</strong>.  This means you can’t buy products from teambeachbody and then re-sell them on the market.  You need to have your customers order through teambeachbody.  <strong>Honestly, that’s the only way I do business anyways, so this shouldn’t affect you a bit.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>You can’t advertise. </strong> No newspaper ads.  No soliciting.  You CAN, however, run fit clubs, invite people to join challenge groups, etc.  <strong>Basically, this shouldn’t affect you either because Beachbody is already doing the advertising. </strong> We simply help the people around us plug in and reach their goals.  Set up groups.  Get people plugged in.  Help them succeed.  Make a difference!</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s it.  So as you can see, you now have the long awaited opportunity to be part of the U.S. Beachbody Coach network as a Canada Beachbody Coach!  You can grow your base of customers and coaches, and start to tap into an untapped market.   I am super stoked that the opportunity is finally here!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">How Canada Beachbody Coaching relates to retail sellers</span></h2>
<p>As those of you in Canada know, some Beachbody merchandise is available through retail outlets like Walmart.  They will continue to stay for the next several months, but Beachbody is planning to phase them out of the retail market as the Canadian network grows.  There is simply no substitute for having a coach to hold someone accountable and motivate them to reach their full potential, and that’s what’s been missing with the retail approach … until now!  Plus, the teambeachbody price will be<strong> LESS</strong> than retail in Canada, so you will have the competitive advantage over the “walmarts” with your new Canada Beachbody Coaching business.</p>
<p>All contests like the Beachbody Challenge are open to Canadian citizens and coaches, so you’ll definitely want to encourage the people you coach to enter them and win prizes.</p>
<p>And of course, when you sign up as a coach, I will follow up with you and plug you into our team training to get you off to a roaring start as a Canada Beachbody Coach.  There are nearly 90,000 Beachbody coaches in the U.S. right now, and there is still a LOT of room for more.  Obesity is an epidemic here.  And it is in Canada too.  And right now there are 0 Beachbody coaches in Canada.  You do the math.  What an opportunity!</p>
<p>Remember, you can’t sign up until October 1st.  But on October 1st the doors swing wide open!  Be ready to take advantage of this MONUMENTAL opportunity if you are passionate about helping people get healthy and fit!</p>
<p>To study more about teambeachbody coaching and decide if it’s a good fit for you, I’ve put some FAQ’s together <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/faqs/becoming-a-coach/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>If you want a full FAQ on the specifics of the Canada Beachbody Coaching opportunity (beyond what I’ve shared here) I’ll put that together and post it early next week.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://teambeachbody.com/signup/-/signup/coach?referringRepId=22975"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CLICK HERE to sign up for the Canada Beachbody Coaching Opportunity!</strong></span></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/super-workout-on-stage-5.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-4048" title="super workout on stage 5" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/super-workout-on-stage-5.png" alt="" width="550" height="303" /></a></p>
<p>To sum it all up, the Coach Summit 2012 was UNBELIEVABLE.  This year the coach summit was held in Las Vegas.  I know that Las Vegas is probably the last place you think about when it comes to health/fitness but when you have over 6,000 coaches taking over a casino, it becomes one.  The Coach Summit was held at the MGM Hotel/Casino.  It ended up being the perfect place for us.  Lots of room for workouts, a huge stadium for the main events and celebrations, and a giant outdoor pool area for parties.</p>
<p>Summit 2012 was more than just hearing about new products, learning how to become better coaches, and having a good time with 6,000 of our closest friends&#8230;it was also about our friend Jessica.  Jessica was a Grand Prize Finalist for the Beachbody Challenge!  She was 1 of 4 women chosen to possibly win the $100,000.  For Katie and I, this is what coaching is all about.  This is why we are coaches.  We were there to celebrate her transformation, her 85lb+ weight loss, and the new healthy life that she has now that she has chosen to live.  Even though she didn&#8217;t win the Grand Prize, she walked away with $25,000 and an unbelievable experience.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<h2><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Tony-Workout-Abs.jpg"><img class="wp-image-4053 alignright" title="Tony Workout Abs" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Tony-Workout-Abs.jpg" alt="" width="263" height="144" /></a><strong>Day 1</strong></h2>
<p>We arrived in Vegas on Thursday and had a chance to go straight down to the festivities.  Beachbody had taken over the convention center.  Everywhere you turn there were coaches wearing P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, Shakeology, apparel.  We saw many friends on our way to the CORE (a mini shopping mall with apparel, shakeology bar, programs to buy, a stage for the trainers, contests, etc).  <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0764.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4059" title="IMG_0764" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0764-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>It was pretty incredible.  After killing some time we were off to the first workout of the trip.  Tony Horton hosted a GIANT workout in one of the many enormous convention halls.  I was lucky enough to be on stage with Tony, Mark Briggs, Joel Sydanmaa, and Monica Parodi, to name a few.  Working out in front of a room of people as far as you can see was amazing.  Tony took everyone through his UMLC routine that he does on his military tours.  Afterward we took pictures and I had many comments about my black socks.  Even got some Edgar Allen Poe references :).</p>
<p>That night was the 5 Year Birthday Bash for Team Beachbody.  It was held by the pool and it was PACKED.  There were cirque du soleil style performers, places to take pictures, food, drinks, dancing, and even fireworks that they shot over the MGM hotel.  Amazing!!</p>
<h2><strong> <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0782.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4070" title="IMG_0782" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0782-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Day 2</strong></h2>
<p>Waking up at 5:30am in Las Vegas just doesn&#8217;t seem natural&#8230;haha.  But that&#8217;s what you do when you have Shaun T, Chalene Johnson, the Les Mills Trainers, Dr. Mark Cheng, and others hosting workouts.  Being the loyal Turbo Girl that Katie is, we went to Chalene&#8217;s workout.  Yes, I went and did TurboFire with Katie and a bunch of coordinated Turbo fanatics at 6:30am ;).  It was actually a GREAT cardio workouts.  I was dripping after we were finished.  Chalene knows how to work the crowd and she does it without breaking a beat.  Way more fun than I had anticipated.  Even made me forget how early it was.</p>
<p>The main session came later that morning.  This is where we learned about all the latest and greatest products coming out in the coming year.  Some of the highlights were:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/SagiSummit-300x300.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-4061" title="SagiSummit-300x300" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/SagiSummit-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/programs/body-beast/">Body BEAST</a></strong>:  A new MASS gaining program that uses Dynamic Set Training to build muscle mass like a body builder.  They also introduced the newest training to Beachbody, Sagi Kalev.  I think Sagi was out on stage for about 10 secs before he was taking his shirt off&#8230;the dude is HUGE.   Body BEAST is out Now!  See the program section!</li>
<li><strong>Asylum Vol 2 &#8211; Elite Sports Training</strong>:  Asylum vol 2 was announced and we got a glimpse of some of the workouts.   I didn&#8217;t think they could make Asylum any tougher but it looks like they did.  They even have Apollo Ono as a spokesperson for it.  Look for it coming out THIS FALL 2012.</li>
<li><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/supplements/shakeology/"><strong>Chocolate Vegan Shakeology</strong></a>:  This is the brand new flavor for the Ultimate vegan line of Shakeology.  It has a Dark chocolate flavor with some new added super foods.  This is also out now!  We had a chance to taste it and it might even be better than the current chocolate.  Yep, it&#8217;s true.  This is now available!</li>
<li><strong>Les Mills Combat</strong>:  They are expanding the Les Mills line by offering a new program called COMBAT.  This is a MMA style workout that uses hard pumping music to keep up your intensity.  Pre-Orders will begin in the Fall of 2012 with a December release date.  If you have Les Mills Pump advanced dvds then you have tried this style of workout&#8230;it&#8217;s a blast.</li>
<li><strong>Derm Exclusive</strong>:  Beachbody has a skin care line&#8230;yep, news to me too.  They have decided to offer it through coaches now.  So you can order it through me as well.  No I haven&#8217;t used it ;).</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0826.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4063" title="IMG_0826" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0826-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>From the main session we went to extra trainings where we got to listen to some of the top coaches on how to become better at coaching all of you.  Lots of great info.  From there Tony Horton hosted another workout that night.  Once again, I was up on stage with him.  He took everyone through CVX (Cardio Vascular Extreme) which is a brand new workout we shot for all the P90X certified coaches last month.  This is a tough workout when I filmed it and it was just as tough this time.  Afterward there were more pictures and then we had to rush off to the Diamond Reception.</p>
<p>The Diamond Reception is for all coaches who are Diamond and higher.  Since I fall into this category I was able to go.  It was held at Wet Republic, which is an exclusive pool / bar/ scene at the MGM.  I was also lucky enough to go to the VIP area with Tony and his mini entourage.  This part was an absolute blast.  Great Food, dancing, pictures, atmosphere, people, etc&#8230;.just a great time.  Katie and I snuck off after it ended and had not 1, not 2 but 3 desserts.  What&#8217;s Vegas without a little debauchery It was a good day ;).</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XOCfBArA8E0" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<h2><strong>Day 3</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/303458_10150941591071821_1678650570_n.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4072" title="303458_10150941591071821_1678650570_n" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/303458_10150941591071821_1678650570_n-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>SUPER WORKOUT!  Day 3 started once again at 5:30 am&#8230;what?!?  We were up again to go workout but this time it was for the Super Workout that was held right off the Las Vegas Strip.  This time every single trainer would be there, giving it their best for 15-20 mins.  There were over 5000 coaches working out together.  It was awesome.  I was able to go on stage again with Mark, Joel, Monica, and of course the man himself, Tony Horton.  We took the crowd through the new MMX (Mixed Martial-Arts Xtreme) another workout we shot for the P90X certified coaches.  To say it was an outer body experience would be selling it short.  It was crazy.  I was truly awestruck by all the people in the crowd.  The 20 mins went by in a blur and we were then off to the next session.</p>
<p>More great speakers and info from Beachbody Corporate.  We were also able to hear from the Co-Creator of Shakeology about the benefits of the Ultimate Reset, which I am now sold on trying later this year.  As well as Dr. Marcus Elliott who heads up P3 and helped Tony develop P90X2 and the PAP workouts.</p>
<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0798.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4075" title="IMG_0798" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/IMG_0798-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>I even joined a pull up contest where I did 35 or 36 (I can&#8217;t remember) pull ups.  That was pretty fun :).</p>
<p>The day was a whirlwind with the main event of the night being the celebration event.  This was a fun time.  We were able to celebrate the top coaches as well as the Beachbody Challenge Finalists.  Jessica was up on stage getting her $25,000 and it was the perfect climax to the whole trip.  The after party went late into the night.  You might not think coaches know how to party but wow, there were some crazy times at that after party.  Dancing, dessert (my favorite), drinks and good times all around.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 4</strong></h2>
<p>At this point we felt like we were there for longer than 4 days.  To say that our trip was packed would be an understatement.  We slept in as much as we could before heading back on the road.  Got to meet some coaches for breakfast, say our goodbyes and wait for next year.</p>
<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/539336_3834829185859_500182801_n.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-4078" title="539336_3834829185859_500182801_n" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/539336_3834829185859_500182801_n.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>The Coach Summit is an unbelievable experience that gives you long lasting memories.  Being with 6,000 like minded coaches is great.  Watching the coaching network grow from year to year has been awesome.  It is so great to see that we are committing to making a change in America when it comes to health and fitness.  As coaches we are striving to pay it forward and helping as many people change their lives through these great fitness programs.   This is an event that you MUST get to next year.  It&#8217;s not only fun, educational and motivating but it&#8217;s life changing.  Workout with your favorite trainers, learn about the latest and greatest products, educate yourself and come hang out with me and all the other coaches from around the country!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Obesity-in-America.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1829" title="Obesity in America" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Obesity-in-America-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>There is a very alarming trend happening right now in America and it&#8217;s causing so many problems on both a national and local level that it is staggering.  <strong>Obesity</strong> is a rising trend in this country that has been happening since the 70s.  Each year more and more people become obese.  Our addiction with low cost, low quality food is ridiculous.  We have become a fat nation who are hell bent on getting what we want when we want it.  We are an instant gratification nation that is now becoming lazy and overly dependent and the &#8220;easy fix&#8221;.</p>
<p>The other day, <strong>Tony Horton</strong> posted a video showing the ricing percentage of people in America who are now obese.  Did you know that we are pushing the 33% mark now?  1 out of every 3 people are now obese?  Are you kidding me?  See the video for yourself below.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u1abjGnlfPM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Probably the most startling thing of all is this is all going on during the health craze in the 70&#8242;s, the Jane Fonda/Jazzercise phase in the 80&#8242;s, and the extreme diets in the 90&#8242;s.  America is obsessed with getting in shape.  So what happened?  Why is our country still getting more and more fat?</p>
<p>Like I said above, we are a nation of &#8220;I want it now&#8221;.  We are all guilty of this.  Email, Instant messaging, fast food, vending machines, On-Demand Movies, Information at our finger tips.  So we have taken that same concept and applied it to our health.  Instead of trying to make a lifestyle change with our diet and exercise we have tried to find ways to find that lightening in a bottle.  We look for Pills and potions we can take to make us lose weight without doing anything.  We all laugh at the &#8220;Ab machines&#8221; and &#8220;Shake weights&#8221; but there are reasons why these things exist&#8230;people buy them!  Joe Shmoe would rather sit on the coach watching TV, eating fast food, with a machine on his abs that is sending electric pulses into his body than he would getting outside and taking a walk.  This is also what we are teaching our kids. I get emails from more and more teenagers that get frustrated after 1-2 week(s) of <strong>P90X</strong> because they aren&#8217;t seeing results.  They haven&#8217;t learned what it&#8217;s like to be patient and to commit to something.  90 days is not a long time.  In 90 days you can change your life with a program like P90X or Insanity.</p>
<p>As a country we need to change our mindset.  We need to change our lifestyle and start taking what we put into our bodies more seriously.  We need to take time away from the TV and put it toward exercise.  Don&#8217;t have an hour to do P90X?  Then do <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/10MinTrainer?referringRepId=22975">10 min Trainer</a>!  We all have 10 mins/day.  Making this change will improve you life!  I think we have forgotten that.  Those who have seen results from Beachbody programs can tell you that.  Eating well makes you feel good, eating junk doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Good health and fitness is a lifestyle change, not a 2 week crash diet.  It&#8217;s something that will make your life better.  It is something that will make our nations better.  We need to end this trend of obesity&#8230;it begins with YOU.  Make the choice today.  Commit to a program like <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDP90XDVDK38?referringRepId=22975">P90X</a>, <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/Insanity?referringRepId=22975">Insanity</a>, <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/TurboFire?referringRepId=22975">TurboFire</a> or any <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping?referringRepId=22975">Beachbody program</a> for that matter.  You don&#8217;t even have to go anywhere, you can do it from home.  Follow the nutrition plan.  Make healthy eating choices.

<p>Obesity is not only causing major problems with our Health Care system but it is literally killing our friends and family.  Did you know that if 1% of Americas made a lifestyle change and kept that the rest of their lives that we wouldn&#8217;t have a health care crisis?  This is why I became a <strong>Beachbody Coach</strong> and this is why I am trying to help others get results using these programs.  They work and they will change your lives in ways you can&#8217;t even imagine.  It has for me and the hundreds of others I have coached.  It can for you too.  Make the choice right now to decide to do a fitness program.  Commit to it 90 days.  Watch yourself Succeed.  Help others to do the same and you will help end this trend of Obesity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1756" title="Super Workout" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Super-Workout-300x125.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="125" />When I started <strong>P90X</strong> back in January of 2009, I never thought that I would helping others with their health and fitness goals on a everyday basis.  I started P90X like anyone else, watching the infomercial late at night or early in the morning wondering if I could really get &#8220;ripped in 90 days&#8221; like the success stories.  When I got P90X as a present for Christmas, opened the package and put that first disc in, I had no idea that my life was going to change the way that it has&#8230;</p>
<p>Just like many of you who have found this blog, I Googled P90X and came across the P90X message boards.  There I found like minded individuals talking about health and fitness and being <strong>successful with P90X</strong>.  As I plugged myself into the boards I found <strong>Josh Spencer</strong>, who I would eventually make my coach.  I didn&#8217;t think I needed that much help but as I went through P90X I discovered that having someone to help motivate, support, answer questions, and help me stay accountable was crucial to my success.  Josh was a wealth of knowledge. Seeing his success with P90X and his willingness to help others succeed was inspiring.  You see, <strong>I always liked helping people</strong>.  In college I was a psychology major because I wanted to make a career out of helping others with their struggles.  As I started to learn and get great results with P90X, I started to do the same thing Josh was doing&#8230;<strong>help others succeed with their Health and Fitness.</strong></p>
<p>When <strong>day 90</strong> rolled around and I sent Josh my before and after photos he immediately wanted to talk.  He told me that he saw that I had a passion for helping others and I had a passion for health and fitness.  I encouraged me to think about coaching to help others do what we had done&#8230;change our lives through health and fitness.  I honestly wasn&#8217;t sure at first&#8230;I had a great job that I liked and I wasn&#8217;t sure if I was fit to be a coach.  But one thing kept encouraging me to do it.  The way I felt helping others be successful.  <strong>If I could help change the life of someone then it was worth it to me</strong>.   I also felt that it was a great way to keep me accountable and keep me pushing play.  It <strong>combined two  huge interests of mine&#8230;Helping others and Fitness</strong>. So I called Josh, and dove into team beachbody coaching.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1582" title="Coach Sean and Kate" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0113-Copy-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></strong>Fast forward 2 years.  <strong>Things have grown for me tremendously</strong>.  I am now part of Tony&#8217;s beach workout crew (thanks Tony), a cast memeber of <strong>P90X2</strong>, and a <strong>Diamond coach</strong>.  I never would have dreamed I would be where I am at because of <strong>P90X and coaching</strong>.  I am not only able to help others but I am also able to be much more financially secure.  <strong>My student loans are no longer a problem, my pay payment is never a second thought and I am able to pay for everything I need for my health and fitness without worry. I was even able to pay for my Fiance&#8217;s engagement ring through coaching alone.  How nice is that?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m also constantly working to maximize my team members (get ripped at home crew, W00T!) results with <strong>nutrition, supplement, and workout advice</strong>.  The crazy part is that in my own way, I am making a difference.  I get emails every week from those who have changed their lives with Beachbody products.</p>
<p>All this has lead me to the conclusion that I am here to help people live the healthy, active lives that they were meant to live.  At the coach summit this year, the theme was &#8220;<strong>End the Trend</strong>&#8220;.  What trend?  The terrible trend of <strong>Obesity</strong> that America is on.  Do you know how many Americans are now Obese? <strong> 200 Million&#8230;staggering right</strong>?  That&#8217;s why I feel truly blessed to be able to help all of you and be part of a company that is trying to make a difference.  I left the summit feeling energized to do my part in helping to end this terrible trend.  <strong>Beachbody changed my life </strong>and it can change others.  They have the tools, they have the commitment and they have more and more people joining their cause everyday.  But we need help&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>If you have any desire for a healthier country, and better health for your friends and family then I could use your help</strong>.  Coaching has given me opportunities I never dreamed of.  This opportunity is there for everyone.  Together we can help end the trend, and help this country be fitter, healthier and more active.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in learning more about how you can join as a <strong>Beachbody Coach</strong>, whether it&#8217;s simply to help coach others through the workout programs, save money on the products or help to end this trend of obesisty, email me at <strong>seandcallahan@gmail.com</strong> and I would be glad to share more about it with you.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1660" title="Super Workout Coach Summit 2011" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Super-Workout-Coach-Summit-2011.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="222" />Every year, <strong>Beachbody</strong> put&#8217;s on a major event where Coaches come together, hear about new products, listen to great speakers, and have a great time.  This Year&#8217;s <strong>Coach Summit</strong> was no exception.  This was the 2nd coach summit that I have attended.  I was amazed by the growth of the <strong>Team Beachbody </strong>network of coaches.  In One year the event went from 1,000 to 2,500 coaches.   It was truly inspiring to see so many people come together with one idea in mind&#8230;to do our part to help <strong>end the trend of obesity</strong>.  It was the reason I became a coach and is the reason why I continue to help people with their health/fitness on a daily basis.  Nothing else matters if you don&#8217;t have your health, and I believe that Beachbody has the tools to get the job done.  This years coach summit showed me personally how much Beachbody cares about ending the trend and helping other to live active healthy lifestyles.</p>
<p><strong>So what was it all about? </strong></p>
<p>Well, this year they hosted it in Downtown LA, at the LA Live center.  LA Live is a entertainment center that combines Staples Center (Where the Lakers Play), The Nokia Center (where you have seen major award shows), Restaurants, Clubs, and Hotels.  Even though I live in the Greater Los Angeles/Orange County area I had never been there.  It was a great venue.</p>
<p>The event started off with a Bang.  Friday was all about some of the BIG things that Beachbody is developing this year.  New Programs, supplements, new opportunities, etc.  (See more below).  That afternoon we were able to go to a live workout with a Beachbody trainer.  <strong>Tony Horton, Shaun T, Chalene Johnson, Debbie Siebers, Brett Hoebel, and Leandro Carvalho</strong> were all there ready to take us through their tough workouts.  I went to Tony&#8217;s (of course)and my fiance went to Chalene&#8217;s.  Tony took the group though a <strong>P.A.P. workout</strong> from the upcoming <strong>P90X2</strong>.  I was able to do this workout during rehearsals for <strong>P90X2</strong> and this one he took us through at summit was just as difficult.  Great fun.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1661" title="Diamond Reception" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Diamond-Reception-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" />From there, Kate and I were able to go to the <strong>Diamond reception</strong>, which was a big party at a local club.  That was a blast.  I was able to see a lot of other coaches that I have become friends with throughout the years, watch Leandro dance his brazilian booty off (he is hilarious btw) and have a great time.  A late night turned into an early morning&#8230;</p>
<p>The <strong>Super Saturday workout</strong> was unbelievable.  Each Trainer got up on stage for 20 mins and lead over 2,000+ people in a over 90 min workout, outside at LA Live.  Local news crews were there to cover it.  I was even privileged to go up on stage with <strong>Tony Horton</strong> and be one of this demonstrators during the event.  What a thrill that was&#8230;Seeing all those people working out together in unison from the stage was an amazing thing to witness.  Check out the video below to see me with Tony at the Super Workout.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<center><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0k7Cr1OpPbw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>After that we went to more conferences.  We got to see <strong>Chalene Johnson</strong> do a motivational speech (which really got me inspired), got to listen to the creators of Shakeology talk about what they do to make it the best supplement on the market and got some training so I could be a better coach to all of you.  That night was a HUGE dinner reception and ceremony to recognize all those coaches who have done great things this year.  That was followed by a Huge party.  Great times.  I was able to speak with <strong>Steve Edwards</strong>, and <strong>Dr. Marcus Elliott</strong> (the P3 guy and P90X2 contributor) for a while.  Talk about two fascinating guys.  Their wealth of knowledge in health and fitness is unbelievable.</p>
<p>The next day we got to see the <strong>Sneak Preview of P90X2</strong> (I will post more video this week).  That was the highlight for me because I was told that I was in the trailer.  If you haven&#8217;t see it yet then go read my <a href="http://getrippedathome.com/workouts-exercises/p90x2/p90x2-coming-this-fall/">P90X2 Coming this Fall</a> post.  After that the even closed down and we went home&#8230;extremely tired but pumped up!</p>
<p><strong>What was the Big News from the event?</strong></p>
<p>1.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>P90X2 announced</strong></span>:  I know I have already talked about this a ton of times but this was huge so I had to post it again.  What was first titled P90X:MC2 is now officially P90X2.  It will be able to be pre-ordered in August.  We were also told that if you want to get it by Christmas, you NEED to pre order it.  I&#8217;ll make sure that you are the first to know if you follow my blog or have me as your coach.  As you know I am in the Chest/Back + Balance and V-Scuplt videos so I have some inside knowledge ;).  This program will blow your mind.  It is muscle confusion taken to the next level.</p>
<p>2.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>New Shakeology Flavor: </strong></span> Yep!  Tropical is the flavor.  I was able to try it several times throughout the summit and liked it more and more as the days went on.  If your looking for something fruity that blends VERY well with berries and fruit, you will love this flavor.  It is still being tested but will be available later this year.</p>
<p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> P90X iPhone App:</strong></span> I can&#8217;t mention a lot about this yet but I can say that we got to see a sneak preview of that the app looks like, how it is put together, the features it will have and when it will be released.  What I can say is that it looks UNBELIEVABLE.  I was SUPER excited to see it.  It looks like the more versatile fitness app that will be on the market.  It will definitely be a must have if you do P90X.  It is only for the iPhone for now.  You should be able to track many things and have it help you with every aspect of P90X.  More to follow when they allow us to talk more about it.  Look for it to be released toward the end of Summer.</p>
<p>4.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Free Coaching Sign Ups for Military:</strong></span> Beachbody wants to say &#8220;thank you&#8221; to the people who serve our country so they are allowing active military or their spouses to sign up to be coaches for FREE.  No sign up fee and no monthly dues.  How awesome is that?  If you are active military, sign up!  Get on this opportunity if yo have developed a passion for these products and programs.  Feel free to contact me for details.</p>
<p>5.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>New Programs!</strong></span>:  There are a TON of new programs in development right now.  These are the ones due out in early 2012.  A <strong>Tai Chi</strong> program based on the martial art and developed by Dr. Mark Chang.  New <strong>TurboFire </strong>workouts and new <strong>RevAbs workouts</strong> are also coming in the near future.  There is also a <strong>21 day Detox program</strong> being developed.</p>
<p>6.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New Team Beachbody Facelift:</span></strong> Beachbody is going to keep making teambeachbody.com a great place to go for your health/fitness needs.  Some of the recent changes are the <strong>Fit Club Finder</strong>, where you can go and find a local fit club in your area, the <strong>Beachbody Challenge</strong>, where you can submit your success story/transformation and win a cash prize of $100,000!  <a href="http://www.teambeachbody.com/get-fit/supergym">WOWY</a> has also gotten an upgrade&#8230;go log your workouts and win prizes daily!  New Members gallery and well as new Workout Groups you can join.</p>
<p>7.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Next years’ Coach Summit will be in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM:</strong></span> If you&#8217;re not a coach yet and have been thinking about it, I would join just for this reason!  I, along with somewhere around 10,000 other coaches will be attending this event.  I have already signed up!  It will be a blast.</p>
<p>8. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> Coaching in Canada/Mexico:</strong></span> If your outside the US and ready to be a coach then keep holding on because it&#8217;s coming!  No news as to exactly when yet but it is definitely going to happen.</p>
<p>There are more things that will be released that I can’t talk too much about yet, but once I’m given the OK, you will be the first to know! If you’re not a Team Beachbody member yet, make sure you sign up (it’s free), getting me as your coach! <a href="https://teambeachbody.com/signup/-/signup/free/22975" target="_blank">Click here to make me your coach</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1538" title="tony_troops" src="http://getrippedathome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tony_troops.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="199" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yesterday, the man himself, Tony Horton spoke on a national team beachbody call about the important lessons he has learned lately in regards to his own health and fitness.  For those of you who haven&#8217;t assigned me as your coach and don&#8217;t receive my weekly newsletters then you probably are unaware that Tony has recently suffered an injury to his bicep.  In fact it was so bad that he had to have surgery on it last week to make sure it would heal properly.  At 52, you would think that the injury like that would sideline him for a long time, but not Tony Horton.</p>
<p>On the call, (which you can find <a href="http://www.beachbodycoach.com/uploads/fckeditor/mdbody/File/recording/prospects_052311.mp3" class="broken_link">HERE</a>) Tony explained how this recent injury has taught him the greatest lesson of his life&#8230;.it&#8217;s all about  <strong>YOUR ATTITUDE</strong>!  Tony explained that he saw this first hand from cast member Eric, from the Plyometrics workout.  Eric has only 1 leg and couldn&#8217;t do much when he started doing P90X in the test group.  But he kept a good attitude, didn&#8217;t complain and kept showing up.  The more he showed the better he got.  Fast forward 90 days and he made it into the video.</p>
<p>Tony is a walking P90X billboard.  You can see why he inspires millions of people to get healthy and fit the moment you meet him.  He has a saying that I have heard him tell people over and over again.  &#8220;If the top is broken, work the bottom.  If the Bottom is broken, work the top.  If the top and bottom are broken, work the middle&#8221;.  He is now living this reality.  Not having his right bicep at 100% he is now focused on lower body workouts and cardio.  Still bringing it everyday and being smart about it.  He says that he will now be able to get stronger in the areas that he struggles and is looking forward to this time instead of letting it be an excuse.  Can you see the theme here?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let excuses get in the way.  Don&#8217;t let your negative thoughts get in the way.  Be consistent with your Nutrition and workouts and keep showing up.  Keep pushing play and keep bringing it!  All you have is today&#8230;do your best and forget the rest!</p>
<p>So I leave you with some words of wisdom from the man himself, Tony Horton&#8230;Talking about taking control of your health/fitness and using it to become Financially successful.  This is why I became a coach.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Boys and girls,</em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m unaware of your financial situation  but I do believe that you&#8217;re reading this page because you care about  your health and fitness. If you have plenty of income and love your job  then what I’m about to tell you might not be for you. If you&#8217;re not  thrilled with the way you make a living, would like extra income, love  Beachbody products, like the way they make you look and feel, enjoy  helping other people feel and look better, enjoy setting your own hours,  get excited about being the captain of your own ship as opposed to  working for the man &#8211; then listen up.</em></p>
<p><em>The reality  is, your health and fitness moves beyond you. It impacts the people  around you. You (whether you like it or not) have the power to change  lives based solely on your own personal transformation. Inadvertently  you become a catalyst for change. This is how I got started. I was  clueless, asked a few questions based on my need to be strong and  healthy, stayed with it and people in my life wanted to know what I was  doing. Simple yet powerful.</em></p>
<p><em>If you want to share what  you&#8217;ve learned with people in your life who want better health (and  could use extra income in the process) then you should consider becoming  a Team Beachbody Coach.   I felt so strongly about this program that  I’ve encouraged many of my friends to become coaches, even my own  sister.  She is doing great (even though my contract with Beachbody  won’t let me help her).  She is a perfect example of someone who had  plenty of doubt and hesitation regarding the coaching opportunity and  still found a way to make it work for her. A busy working wife and  mother with three very active kids doesn&#8217;t sound like a good candidate  to start an in-home multi-level marketing company. Did you say multi  level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill  out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or  kitty liter, but this is <strong>Beachbody</strong> people! The  number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily  becoming the most popular fitness system in US history. Shakeology is  the revolutionary replacement meal on the market today. We sell  life-altering change &#8211; not soap. Tens of thousands of regular folk  around this country are doing something they love because of this coach  opportunity.</em></p>
<p><em>The unemployment rate still hovers around  10% but it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way if more people were willing to  see that new opportunities exist all around them. The Team Beachbody  Coaching opportunity is one of them. Health care companies,  pharmaceutical companies and our government are not capable of solving  this obesity crisis and we can&#8217;t wait around for them to do it. The  crisis is now and the answer is YOU! I know that sounds a bit Rah Rah  but it&#8217;s true.</em></p>
<p><em>Cynics don&#8217;t need to apply, but if  you&#8217;re sick and tired of the status quo and want to make a difference in  your own life and in the lives of those around you, then open the door.   The two major issues of our time &#8211; the health care issue and  unemployment rate could be resolved if a million more people in this  country decided to get healthy and share the wealth. This is a brand new  industry waiting to explode. It&#8217;s not happening in boardrooms or  factories – it’s happening in <strong>the</strong> homes of tens of  thousands of Team Beachbody Coaches and in the homes of their customers.   With a tiny investment (actually the company is waiving the enrollment  fee through the end of 2010) and a willingness to help people the sky&#8217;s  the limit.</em></p>
<p><em>TH-</em></p></blockquote>
<p>You can join us and become a Team Beachbody coach as well, while you take control of your health/fitness and financial future.  Message me if you have questions.  I am here to help!</p>
