Coach W Checking In!

I interrupt this week of amazing Misfit Success Stories to bring y’all a few updates …… Did you know that Beachbody is now offering the P90X2 Equipment for sale individually?  I have the links on my site, so if you are interested in getting upgraded equipment or extras...

Misfit – Jose A

mis·fit  (msft, ms-ft) n. 1. Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose. 2. One who is unable to adjust to one’s environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others. This is Jose A. (yes there is a Jose B. you’ll be meeting...

Misfit – Troy

mis·fit  (msft, ms-ft) n. 1. Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose. 2. One who is unable to adjust to one’s environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others. Troy has absolutely been CRUSHING it!  He also happens to live...

Misfit – Kalib

mis·fit  (msft, ms-ft) n. 1. Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose. 2. One who is unable to adjust to one’s environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others. Kalib has been one of the most positive, inspirational, plugged in...

The 4 Pillars

mis·fit  (msft, ms-ft) n. 1. Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose. 2. One who is unable to adjust to one’s environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others. Y’all have heard my updates of our teamRIPPED Misfit...

Fred finds the way!

Fred used to be athletic, but had gotten so used to being able to pig out and eat whatever he wanted, that after his days of playing sports, he packed on a LOT of weight.  He even hit 300 lbs! He decided to start pushing play and had a good round of P90X — He lost 22 lbs.  Then he...

Winning!

Getting ripped is something we all like to think about.  It’s an admittedly ego-centric goal, but one that does give us motivation to keep pushing play and staying committed to our diet. However, there is a more important reason we are doing this.  We want to end the trend of...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!!! I got the chance to talk on the Beachbody National Coach Call this week, which was a real treat.  It’s really designed for other coaches to listen to, but I got a chance to talk about my story of how and why I got into Beachbody, P90X, Coaching, and what...

Vegan Conclusions

I just finished up 90 days of very strict vegan eating at the first of January.  I ate a whole food plant based diet (WFPB) with no meat, dairy, or eggs. (PICS AT BOTTOM) My only supplement was Shakeology.  I took no creatine, no pre-workout, and my recovery drink was not the...

E&E Pre-workout Re...

This weekend I got the chance to use the new Pre-Workout product by Beachbody, called Energy & Endurance.  It’s designed to be a great compliment to the Results & Recovery Formula, which is for using immediately after your workout. I’ve used a lot  of PWO’s...

Eric Defines RIPPED!

Eric has some AWESOME results.  He was able to not only drop all the body fat, but get strong and build upper body muscle — all in 90 days.  He rocked it!  Check out his video for the proof! Eric’s Story in his own words: By the time I was 28, I had fallen completely out...

Jeremy ROCK’s it!

Jeremy has been doing Beachbody workout programs for over a year now, but when he started he wasn’t giving it his all.  He is a busy and talented musician, and at first he made the excuses that the nutrition was too much of a hassle to stick to with his schedule.  After seeing...

How to measure B.F. %

I’ve talked about how to measure body fat before, but it was a year ago and that article is so far lost in the archives by now that most don’t ever find it.  So I want to be sure I update everyone on the importance of tracking body fat and the most reliable methods for doing...

TOP COACH Checking In!!...

Hey teamRIPPED!!  How was everyone’s week?  Boy, mine was pretty special!  That’s why instead of my usual “Coach Wayne Checking In!” I’m calling this “TOP COACH Checking In!!” LOL. I don’t want to bore everyone by just talking about...

WHY???

Why are you working out? Why are you here on teamRIPPED reading this? Why are you pushing play? Why are you studying P90X, Insanity, Pump, and watching YouTube videos to decide if you even WANT to push play? You can do all the research and planning you want, but if you haven’t asked...

Katie’s Turbo Fir...

Y’all may remember my friend Sean Callahan, who is in a couple of the P90X2 videos (the guy Tony Horton says has helium in his bones because he makes pullups look so effortless)!  Well, Sean’s fiancee Katie is no slouch either.  She rocked Turbo Fire and has some amazing...

“E&E Pre-Wor...

Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout Formula The first Pre-Workout formula offered by Beachbody, “Energy & Endurance Pre Workout Formula”, was just released yesterday.  I already ordered it and am anxious to try it and review it for all of you. Since Beachbody has kept this...

Chris Crushes it!

Chris was never a totally fat, out of shape dude, but he wasn’t really fit either.  He had let himself get scrawny and soft as he got older.  Then he found something that rekindled that old, competitive inner-athlete.  He has been rocking P90X and other BB workouts for over 2...

Give a man a fish…...

We’ve all heard that old saying, “GIVE a man a fish, you feed him for a day.  TEACH a man to fish, you feed him for a LIFETIME.” I firmly believe that, especially when it comes to living a healthy and fit lifestyle.  My goal as your coach is NOT to make you dependent...

Coach Wayne Checking In...

Happy New Year teamRIPPED!  I hope everyone survived the holidays without the “Holiday Hangover” of letting their diets go.  Whether you were a slacker or stayed strong, it’s now 2012 and we are all back in focus on reaching our goals.   No more excuses about...

Getting Started Right

What’s the key to winning a 100 meter sprint?  Getting out of the blocks fast!  You have to know how to start so that you don’t find yourself behind the pack.  That’s what I want for all of you who are part of teamRIPPED and attempting to begin your race to a healthy,...

Rich Turns it Around!

Rich told me his results aren’t as dramatic as some, but I beg to differ.  Rich is over 40, headed in the wrong direction with his health, and then all of a sudden makes a huge decision to change.  That takes guts, determination, and commitment.  He did a great job, and I think...

Lou Shreds the X!

Lou was rocking along until he had a major setback — an injury that could have made him throw in the towel on his 90 days.  But he didn’t get down, rested while he healed, kept eating clean, and rocked the rest of his 90 days as soon as his broken collar bone was healed. ...

X2 Crew Shirts!!!

I am very pleased to offer, for a limited time, the official P90X2 “X2 Crew” — Built for Performance shirts that we designed for our P90X2 Challenge.  Even if you aren’t doing the challenge yourself, you are more than welcome to order a shirt and root for us! We...

Results Not Typical

I often have people comment that my results aren’t typical.  Most are impressed and say something along the lines of “great job”, “inspiring”, “I’m going to dust off my set of DVD’s and push play”, etc. Others are annoying jerks and say something like “you must have...

Finding The Right Worko...

I’ve spent nearly 2 years doing Beachbody workout programs …. ONLY Beachbody workout programs. I haven’t used the gym or any workout machines. Who needs them? Clearly I haven’t! I owe all of my fitness success to this great assortment of programs.  I want to show...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas teamRIPPED nation!  The Creator of everything we see, everything we can’t see, and each and every one of us — a God so big we can’t even get our little minds around it — came to our tiny little world, put on the limitations that we know, and was...

Matt and Brenda!

Matt and Brenda have an awesome, inspiring story.  Matt joined teamRIPPED in October of 2010.  Over the past year Matt has completed P90X, Insanity, Asylum, and custom hybrids, and he has lost 104 lbs!!!  His wife, Brenda, has also dropped over 60 lbs!!!  WOW! Matt wanted to pass...

Get PUMP’ed!

LES MILLS PUMP is here!  And it’s only available through the teamBeachbody coach network — like me :-) PUMP will be available through Beachbody for purchase Jan. 4th, but before that you can get early access through me.  Just click this links at the bottom of this post to...

Mark the Conqueror!

Mark says he used to be chubby but strong.  Looking at his day 1′s you’d never know the “strong” part LOL!  He worked out some, but had no dedication to proper nutrition and was steadily getting further and further out of shape.  He made up his mind to CONQUER...

X2 Guidebooks

I’ve really enjoyed going through the new P90X2 Fitness Guide and Nutrition Guide. They approach the workouts and nutrition from a different angle than what you might be familiar with after going through P90X or Insanity.  With both of those programs, you were put into a very rigid...

Math Class :-)

If your car gets 20 miles per gallon and you drive 40 miles, how much gas do you need to keep your tank full?  If you said 2 gallons, you are right!  What if you only put in 1 gallon?  You will be at a gasoline DEFICIT.  And if you repeat that every day, what MUST be the result?  You...

Todd Update!

I featured Todd W’s Hall of Fame results several months ago, and they were definitely good (you can watch his original results and read his story HERE).  But he wasn’t even close to where he wanted to get.  Check him out now!  WOW!!!!  Way to take good results and take...

Curtis and Cody!

Two professional musicians, always on the road, on the go, and with a schedule that is constantly changing.  Plenty of reasons to NOT commit to a rigorous fitness and nutrition program like P90X. Curtis and Cody checked all excuses at the door, held each other accountable, plugged in...

P90X2 Challenge!

Here it is!  The event that so many of you have been chomping at the bit to be part of!  The biggest challenge in the history of Beachbody …. The P90X2 Challenge! THE OPPORTUNITY = Did you notice on your package inserts that Beachbody is looking for Success Stories to put in their...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! What an exciting week.  The P90X2 orders have arrived early for many of you already, and for those who haven’t received yours yet, it won’t be long now.  BB said originally that they would get them to us by Christmas, and they are ahead of schedule for the...

Wayne in P90X2 PAP Uppe...

Do y’all want to see Coach Wayne get OWNED by P90X2?  Here it is!  I took the liberty of compiling some of the funny clips from my P90X2 PAP Upper workout with Tony Horton and the gang.  It was all such a blur when it happened live, so I hadn’t remembered many of the...

Silent Cheating

James P. is a new convert to the teamRIPPED way of thinking.  He has been trying to get fit for nearly a year, but just recently found our website and started gleaning tips and advice from our articles.  He made the switch to our team because he’s seen and experienced the...

Jesse Blows Up!

I love to see big results from “hardgainers” because it takes a lot of work to build muscle.  P90X can definitely get it done, but you have to give 100% to both the workouts and to fueling yourself to achieve the muscle gains. A few months ago I featured Derrick, who did just...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!!! What a week!  P90X2 orders are in the mail and on their way to crazy fanatical people all over this great land of ours!  I am so pumped up I can hardly stand it!  If you want to read more specifics of how and when they are shipping, read my post from Monday called...

Sample Vegan Diet

I’ve been eating 99% vegan for a couple months now, and while I’m far from an expert, I’ve learned enough to get into a pretty good routine.  I say 99% vegan rather than 100% vegan because I’m using Shakeology, which has whey protein in it.  Once the new vegan Tropical...

P90X2 is Shipping!

For those of you who checked your bank accounts Friday or over the weekend, you may have noticed a charge for P90X2.  And guess what that means?  Yep!  It’s shipping!  Woot!!! On Friday, Tony Horton hand delivered the very first, numero uno copy of P90X2 to the lucky winner of...

Sodium

The RDA (recommended daily allowance) for sodium is 2400 mg (based on a 2,000 calorie diet). For a bigger guy like me who eats 3,000 calories, that would be the equivalent of 3600 mg.  However, I found that most of the time I came in above that.  I averaged about 4,000-4,500 mg of...

Darren the Warrior!

Darren is an active duty Marine, so he knows a lot about mental toughness and commitment. What he hadn’t gotten a good grip on was how to take his fitness to a new level.  It hadn’t been a priority to him.  He did what he needed to to be a Marine, but hadn’t gone for...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! November 30th!  Last day to pre-order P90X2 and qualify for free shipping.  Don’t miss it if you want to have X2 and save some $$ on shipping.  Pre-Order P90X2 HERE. **UPDATE 12/1/2011 = Beachbody just extended the free shipping incentive on P90X2 orders through...

Gift of Fitness :-)

It’s that crazy time of year where we all start (or continue) shopping for our friends and families.  What better gift can you give someone than health and fitness?  And what better catalog of products and programs is there than Beachbody?  Whether someone is male or female,...

Shakeology VS. ______

Are there any alternatives to Shakeology?  I get asked that A LOT!  And rightfully so, Shakeology is expensive and if there is an alternative that costs less, then go with the alternative, right? So, are there alternatives to Shakeology?  Absolutely!  There are MANY alternatives to...

P90X Teen

I get asked all the time by teenagers if P90X will work for them.  I always tell them that P90X is one of the best workouts a teen can do since it utilizes lots of body weight exercises and core / control / coordination.  It is a great workout that has a very low risk of injury compared...

Jeremy is Ripped!

Jeremy was never really fat or badly out of shape, but he wasn’t all that fit either.  He let himself go after his wedding and then realized it was time to get serious.  You can’t just do this for 90 days and expect to stay fit forever afterwards.  It needs to be a...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving teamRIPPED nation!  I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to work with all of you and meet like minded people who are committed to taking control of their health and fitness and making a change that inspires others to follow.  Thank you all so much for being...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Look out, your fearless leader is getting old! LOL!  This weekend was my birthday, and I am now 38!  In just 2 years I can be the old “ripped at age 40″ guy LOL!  Who says getting old is a drag?  I have guys half my age saying they wished they looked like...

Big Ripped / Small Ripp...

I have a few articles that I’ve written over the past couple years that I find myself referring people to over and over and over, because they address some of the most common questions I ever get.  One is the “just do it” article when people ask about how to stay...

Joey Makes War!

Joey’s story is RIVETING!   After you watch his video, read what he wrote.  Holy Cow!!  Those conversations with the Doctor are eye opening and inspiring!  Thanks for sharing your video, and for sharing your story with the team. Joey did some serious work in round 1 of P90X,...

Changes ….

People are inherently resistant to change.  With change comes fear of the unknown.  This is something we need to remember when going through a transformation of our health and fitness, especially if our spouse / significant other is not doing it with us!  It can be a serious cause of...

The Macho Man!

Randy Savage is no ordinary Macho Man!  He was a regular, out of shape guy like so many of us were.  But he decided it was time to change.  He started with Power 90 because he didn’t think he was ready for P90X.  He did an amazing job.  Then he moved on to the X and rocked it...

P90X2

We are inching closer to the big release of P90X2, and I haven’t talked about it in at least a couple weeks so I simply must (since it’s always on my mind LOL).  There are 2 weeks left to pre-order P90X2 if you want to take advantage of the free shipping and the guarantee...

Beachbody Challenge

Should you take the Beachbody Challenge?  ABSOLUTELY!  You have nothing to lose (except some body fat), and EVERYTHING to gain!  It’s totally free to “take the Beachbody Challenge”.  And you are in the running for lots of cool prizes = $500 daily winners $1000...

Joe’s Transformat...

Joe was headed down the WRONG path — his health was suffering from a lazy lifestyle full of poor eating choices.  His doctor got him worried enough that he decided to make an abrupt change.  With the help of P90X, Insanity, and the teamRIPPED community, he has total control of his...

Kevin Crushes it!

Kevin was pudgy and out of shape before P90X.  Now he’s RIPPED and totally SHREDDED!  Want to see the payoff you get if you will commit to P90X 100% and BUST YOUR REAR for 90 days!  Kevin shows you!  Congrats on the amazing results!  You are a new man! Kevin’s Story in...

P90X iPhone App

  For those of you who haven’t heard yet, the long awaited, much anticipated P90X app for iPhone is now available in the app store! The P90X app costs $4.99 (for just the app, not the actual workouts).  The workout costs are listed below (you can order individual workouts,...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Month 1 is in the books for our Misfits in the Misfit Challenge!  This week, we began the second month of workouts, and the 30 day pics that the Misfits have been posting on our private FB group have me PUMPED beyond belief!  These people are BRINGING IT!!!  I...

Benefits of Interval Tr...

Research continues to show that High Intensity Interval Training blows the socks off steady state cardio for burning fat, burning calories, revving up the metabolism, and promoting the release of human growth hormone which will help you get that lean, athletic, muscular look you want. ...

Tony H. Video Montage

All of you who have watched P90X videos for more than 1 minute know that Tony is always saying something goofy or funny.  Tyler Robbins — one of our honorary teamRIPPED coaches (I say honorary because he’s in Canada and can’t become an official coach yet), has put in a...

Troy’s Transforma...

Troy has been Bringing it and Digging Deep for close to a year.  He used to be active and let himself get totally lazy.  P90X and Insanity helped him recapture his old, athletic self!  He’s made an incredible transformation.  Way to go Troy!!!  Check him out: Troy’s...

Beachbody Expansion ...

I wanted to post an update (or lack there of) on the global expansion of Beachbody and the associated TeamBeachbody / Coaching opportunity. Did you guys realize that there are people all around the world doing P90X?  Of course you knew that, right!  P90X, Insanity, Asylum, and Turbo...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Are you struggling to stay committed because of limitations beyond your control?  Maybe you don’t have the perfect schedule, the perfect setting for doing the workouts, or the perfect options for nutrition and supplements?  Are you going to throw in the towel and...

Vegan Challenge Launch!

World Vegan Day is November 1st.  So what better time to have the LAUNCH DAY for our 60 day teamRIPPED Vegan Challenge!!!  Are you ready???  Like I’ve said in my previous articles on this topic, I don’t expect this vegan challenge to be for everyone.  Many of you are on...

Trick or Treat??

It’s Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Reformation Day, Fall Festival Day, or whatever it is that you celebrate today.  But no matter what persuasion you go with for today’s events, there is a common thread — JUNK FOOD! I find it very ironic that our culture has...

Chad Crushes it

Chad H. is a Hall of Famer that I have a ton of admiration for.  He not only has put in the work to totally transform his life, but he’s got a contageous enthusiasm that makes everyone around him more fired up.  He was part of our Asylum Legends (he did the wakeboarding tricks),...

My Schedule

What’s a day like in the life of Coach Wayne?  I’m a fitness rockstar, the face of teamRIPPED, and Beachbody legend.  It’s a quasi-celebrity lifestyle, right??  (I hope you sense my sarcasm!!!) Well, I hate to disappoint you all, but NO!  I’m a regular guy with...

Vegan Update

The “teamRIPPED Vegan Challenge” is fast approaching, so I hope those of you interested in trying this out with me are gearing up! I’ve been vegan for the most part on my diet for about a month now, and I have to say I feel great.  I haven’t lost weight or strength.  I am...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! How are y’all doing?  I hope you are bringing it as hard as me and the Misfits!  We are CRUSHING these workouts!  Yesterday’s post, “Dialing it In”, is the nutrition plan I have had the Misfits following, and it’s working GREAT for all of...

Dialing it in!

What phase of the nutrition should I start with?  When should I switch to the next phase?  At 30 days?  After 1 round?  How many calories should I aim for? There are so many questions that come to a person’s mind when going through P90X about the nutrition, and they are GREAT...

Update Vids

As you know, I love to feature transformation stories on our own team members who go all out and get great results.  It’s equally encouraging to know that these folks don’t just stop when they hit day 90.  They keep bringing it.  They try different programs to fine tune...

RECIPES!

Y’all have spoken again, and I have listened again!  Last time, y’all wanted a BEFORE/AFTER gallery, and now we’ve got one in the tabs at the top of the page. Now we have the newest feature, a RECIPE tab.  I’ve posted an actual recipe article, but that was nearly...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! We are over a week into the Misfit Challenge, and while we had a few decide it wasn’t for them, those who have stuck around are more fired up than ever.  They are seeing physical changes already, and their mental focus and enthusiasm is through the roof! ...

New Info from Beachbody...

This weekend was the annual Beachbody leadership meeting in California, and I had a great time.  Even though I was on the road, I didn’t miss my workouts because I’m committed to my gang of Misfits and I’m not going to DARE miss a workout of P90X Classic during this 90...

Vote for Tim!

The Beachbody Challenge is an ongoing contest sponsored by Beachbody to find the most amazing, inspiring transformation stories from people using their products.  As you guys know from our Hall of Famers, teamRIPPED has a BUNCH of inspirational transformations.  I’m very excited...

Brad Brings It!

Who says we have to get old?  Brad, at age 40, was 292 lbs and had been obese most of his life.  He knew a drastic change needed to take place.  He started making lifestyle changes, then hit the X to take it up a notch.  He’s just getting started, and wants to keep going.  But...

COURAGEOUS!

Y’all are seeking to make a change.  To reverse the trend of obesity and health related diseases that have plagued our countries, our families, and ourselves in many cases. That takes courage!  It’s hard to go against the flow.  It’s hard to do the right things when...

Mike’s Gets RIPPE...

Mike’s health was spiraling out of control.  He was fat and out of shape.  But he was ready to do something about it.  He was ready to MAKE WAR!  And when you watch this video, I think you’ll agree that he WON THE BATTLE!  Way to go Mike!  You are an inspiration not only...

Energy Balance

Folks looking to add mass need not worry about the issue of energy balance.  You have the luxury of eating a ton of food to fuel your muscle building, and you get to enjoy all the energy you get from it. Folks at a maintenance level (like I have been for a while now) also don’t...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! Wow, it’s been a wild week!  Last Monday I issued a challenge to those among us who needed a kick in the rear to get it in gear and make the most of these last 90 days of 2011.  I had no idea that the “teamRIPPED Misfit Challenge” would erupt into over...

Wayne Day 550

Round 5 is in the books.  I’ve got my progress pics for y’all to check out below.  I’m roughly 550 days into my new way of life.  I’ve done 3 straight 90 day rounds of P90X and various hybrids (see the “Workout Zone” tab for details).  I’ve...

Derick Brings It!

Derick shows us what is possible for someone who will take charge of their life and commit to living with purpose!  He was drifting along, getting soft and out of shape after college, but decided life didn’t have to be like that.  He decided to try Power 90.  He didn’t...

Left out!

I hope everyone is taking advantage of the community of faithful, fired-up, teamRIPPED members we have here.  I currently have over 6,000 people who have made me their coach.  Many are totally engaged, making great progress, and seeing awesome results that impress and inspire others. ...

P90X King!

Some transformations just leave you saying WOW!  Everybody who does P90X and Insanity will get results, but every now and then we see people who took it to a new level of dedication and commitment.  King Mavrick definitely shows us what is possible with that elite level of dedication. ...

How to Build Muscle

Losing body fat doesn’t take rocket science.  Most of us know how to do that — dialing in the nutrition to promote fat loss while preserving the muscle with exercise and resistance training).  Losing body fat can happen fast in a person that is very overweight, so in someone...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! I hope y’all are still bringing it, digging deep, and doing it teamRIPPED style!  If not, don’t let another day of regret go by.  Take charge and make the commitment!  Get back on the track that will take you to where you want to be! ATTENTION!  Anyone...

Misfit Challenge!

Attention MISFITS — everyone who has been dogging it, slacking off, floundering, struggling with their workouts and/or nutrition: I’m calling you out!  Do you want to be a misfit forever?  Are you satisfied with the effort you’ve made toward your health and fitness? I...

Lance Update

It’s been 8 months since I posted Lance L’s 90 day results, which were great and earned him a Hall of Fame spot.  See that article HERE if you missed it. But that wasn’t the end of the story.  It was only the beginning.  Lance has continued to Bring It and is now 11...

Sore!!

Is being sore a good thing?  A bad thing?  Or both?  Soreness takes many forms, and we have to understand a couple basics about soreness that will help us as we work to maximize our results. First, you need to know going into a workout program like P90X or Insanity that the first week...

P90X2 Star Sean

Sean Callahan is one of my good buddies.  I’ve gotten to know him through the P90X2 development and filming.  He’s in 2 of the P90X2 workouts, and he’s in PHENOMENAL shape.  He can do pullups in his sleep! He also has the good fortune of living in Southern California...

Coach W’s SURPRIS...

Hey teamRIPPED!! Normally I call my Tuesday update the “Coach W Checking In!!”, but not this week!  This week I’ve just got to share with you the most AMAZING weekend I have had in forever!  So this is “Coach W’s SURPRISE!!” I thought my weekend...

Just do it! Period!

Since last week I went all soft on y’all and talked about “Coach Cheats”, it’s time to get back to the hard core drill sergeant you know and love LOL!  So for your weekly dose of “SUCK IT UP!!!”, here you go! I can’t believe it’s been over...

Enrique’s Triple ...

Enrique was frustrated that working out at the gym hadn’t gotten him the results he wanted.  He decided to try something new, innovative, and with proven success stories.  He did P90X, then Insanity, then Asylum.  Do you think he broke through the barriers of a gym-induced...

Getting Sick??

“Should I work out when sick?”  This is a question most — if not all — of us will have to face at some point. Most of the time, if it’s minor in nature, you can push through it.  In fact, it may even make you feel better to workout if you have some head...

Pio’s 6 pack sear...

Pio was out of shape and lazy, “enjoying” life a little too much.  He made a change, a BIG change!  And so did his wife Karla!  Pio traded in his keg for a 6 pack!  Literally!  Check them both out in this video: Pio’s story in his own words: I am Pio Yepez, I was...

The VEGAN challenge!!

I am a MEAT EATER!  Just look at my sample diets.  I’ve eaten meats probably just about every day my whole life.  I love meat.  I’ve spent most of my life drinking milk, eating eggs and cheese, devouring steaks, hamburgers, chicken, turkey, fish, and basically doing...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! How’s it going this week?  Did you know that several of our very own Asylum Legends are now the featured folks for INSANITY: THE ASYLUM on their main webpage?  Awesome!  That’s how we roll at teamRIPPED!  We’ve got: Brendan M. Bobby B. Lauren L,...
