Hey teamRIPPED!
Happy Friday! Psst …. don’t forget that Sunday is Mother’s Day. Let the special moms in your life know how much you love them!!!
It’s been another big week for the teamRIPPED nation. We have 2 more Beachbody Challenge winners to acknowledge (see their stories and pics below). We continue our world domination tour :-). And this week in the teamR1PP3D 13 Challenge group was “vein city” LOL. It seemed like every time I checked in, there were more veins popping and muscles bulging. The hard work, disciplined nutrition, and accountability is taking this group to new levels. I love it! And I love all the progress pics!
A big teamRIPPED fan, Carlos Leon, just developed a cool new iPhone app called Insanitime, and he gave me a heads up that it’s now ready in the app store. It’s free and you can track your progress and stats with programs like Insanity, Asylum 1 and 2, Insanity/Asylum hybrids, and a P90X/Insanity hybrid. Carlos said he’ll continue to add new calendars each month to increase your options. Thanks for putting that together! I love tools that will help us track our progress and chart our path to success! Here’s some screen shots of Insanitime =
If you have an iPhone with OS6, be sure to download it!
I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to our teamRIPPED winners in the Beachbody Challenge! Mark (who we all know as Buck) shows us all how to get it done!
Former college football player, Mark, turns to P90X®, Insanity®, P90X2, and Insanity The Asylum after his playing days. 70 lbs lighter, he’s now a well-oiled machine! He’s also signed up to become a Coach and has this advice for everyone he helps get healthy and fit:
“Don’t focus on the scale or short-term goals. Put in the work and the results will come, no matter what. Don’t get discouraged when the scale doesn’t change much in a week. Keep doing what you are doing, and in the long run, you’ll get the results you want.” — Buck
Keep it up!
And then there is Gaston L., who just won the Beachbody Challenge as well! The hits keep coming!!!
Before doing P90X I was completely miserable. I was 25 years old, stood 5’ 7”, had high cholesterol, and weighed in at 225 pounds. With those stats, I wasn’t fat, I was obese. I knew I needed to workout but kept putting it off until tomorrow. And when “tomorrow” finally did arrive, I’d exercise for a few days—but within no time I was right back on the couch playing video games, gorging on chips and chocolate chip cookies. I even tried to convince myself that it was okay to be overweight; I was happily married and fat is just how people are these days. That’s when I knew I had a problem.
I kicked off my transformation with P90X and found incredible success. But if it wasn’t for Coach Wayne and the support I received through him and my Challenge Group, there’s no way I would have stuck with the program. They held me accountable every single day and kept me going when times got tough.
Then for Christmas my family gave me P90X2, which was the best gift they could ever give me. Not only did the workouts train me like an athlete, every time I was on the verge of giving up, Tony Horton would crack a corny joke or spout off some motivating line that made me dig deeper. Plus, I loved X2’s moves and its element of instability, which really developed my core while strengthening my weak spots.
My proudest moment was when I could finally do pull-ups without a chair or the chin-up max assist band. When I first began my journey I couldn’t do a single pull-up, but when I was finally able to keep up with Tony and the gang during Base & Back, I was so excited and couldn’t wait to tell my wife when she got home. In that moment, I finally started feeling confident about myself. If I could complete P90X2 workouts, I could do anything!!!
But I can’t attribute my entire transformation to hard work and sweat alone, Shakeology had a LOT to do with it as well. Shakeology made me feel strong, lean, and kept me satisfied throughout the day. It also helped lower my cholesterol tremendously. My Dr. never did bring up putting me on cholesterol meds ever again, instead he was completely curious as to how I lost all that weight.
Now a days, I’m no longer obsessed with pant sizes or numbers on the scale, instead I care more about feeling great and never losing this sense of being on top of the mountain. I know that if I continue to work hard, drink Shakeology, and eat clean healthy foods, that I’ll remain strong, healthy, and happy. I’m most thankful for Coach Wayne’s support, Tony Horton’s unique attitude, and these success stories. They just made the entire journey so enjoyable. Today, fitness is no longer a chore; it’s just a part of my life—like brushing my teeth or taking a shower.
Awesome story Gaston! Keep it up bro!
Who’s our next teamRIPPED winner? Why not YOU!!!
And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow teamRIPPED!
2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.teamRIPPED.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!!
