P90X Versus Insanity

The choice really is between High Intensity or Muscle Cinfusion. Both are excellent programs and will get you in great shape. Insanity incorporates more bodyweight movements and jumping, while P90X incorporates weights and bandwork. I personally love Insanity Max 30. It is only 5 days a week for 30 mins a day. You go as intense as you can for as long as you can then finish the rest of the time at your own intensity. Then as the weeks go on you can see your growth. There is also P90X 3 that are 30 min programs. So shoot me a message and check out the full line of Beachbody workouts and products.

What You Eat After Exercise Matters

When your body is in its highest state of burn, right after your workout, the fuel that you choose to eat after is extremely important in either keeping the burn going or stopping it immediately. So you really need to eat smart after a workout to get the most benefit from what you have done. So don't waste your whole workout by eating badly right after. We often only burn between 300-800 calories in any one workout. However we often injest up to 1200 calories after the workout to refuel. Then we wonder why we are not seeing the results that we want. If you think I got on that treadmill today I can eat that hamburger tonight, you are wrong. It will cost you more in the end than what it is worth. Check out this article for more in depth info to what you should be eating.

You Are What You Think

We will never rise above how we feel about ourselves. If you cannot believe that you can do it, no one else will either.

I now so many people who seem to be successful or have things together that are so depressed they find it hard to deal with life. Those people imprision themselves. They struggle to get up in the morning and push themselves to greater heights. I also know people who have nothing and project like they are the owners of the universe and they seem to continually find exactly what they need. It is all about how you feel about you that maes all the difference. Chec out this article and start supporting yourself.

Schools Back In So Get The Family Thinking Fit

There is just a small percentage of kids that are involved in sports in school and many of the schools have severely reduced their fitness and gym programs.

How secretive should you be with your startup idea?

We are always worried about who may steal our idea, our product, or our service. Is this really a valid response? Should you keep it to yourself or should you tell people about it? I believe it can be a slippery place to be and really is a case by case issue. However, I do believe that you miss out on possible help and refinement if you remain so secretive about your business. Often you will not be able to make it to the next level without the opinions of others. This is why estabilshed companies run test groups and panels. They want the opinions of the consumer and this is a great way to get it. Check out this article to see what you should do.

10 Practices for Becoming a Self-Made Millionaire

People tend to think other people become millionaires because someone gave it to them or because they are just lucky. The truth is that very seldom is it ever that way. Successful people become successful after years and years of preparation. It is that constant preparation that positions them to be in the place to take advantage of the opportunities when they come. So many of us can look back and see times in our lives where we missed out because we couldn't take advantage of the opportunity when it was available and kick ourselves now. The reality is that we were simply unprepared when the opprortunity comes, because opportunity is always available to us. Are you ready and prepared to do what you need to do to make the the most of the opportunities given to you? This is the real question. This is why it takes CANI (constant and neverending improvement) to really find success in life. This is the real key to open all those doors that may have been previously closed to you. Check out this article and start opening the doors.
