November is here! This really always feels like a final push to the end of the year. For most people, it takes 4 weeks of being dialed in and working hard to start seeing the changes. Give that another 4 weeks and the people around you will start noticing more and more. Where do you want to be on January 1 of 2015? Let’s make these final 2 months of 2014 count!
My Spartan Weekend
The weather was a little cool on Saturday morning when it came to race time. We made the decision for the long race to stick together. All you are told with a Beast is that it will be 13+ miles. What sets Spartan Races apart is that when you fail an obstacle, you have to do 30 penalty burpees. No one wants that! So it really makes you focus in when you get to an obstacle. There are walls to climb, water to traverse, mud to trek through, ropes to climb, balance obstacles, and more! For each guy there, we all had obstacle we weren’t looking forward to. But we stuck together as a team and pushed each other through.
One of the coolest things to watch was a teamRIPPED coach, Carl Tough James, conquer his fear swimming across a good sized lake on the ranch. He’s not a fan of swimming but he toughed it out and made it across! You can’t help but be motivated when you see something like that!!
We got some video of the race and put it together into a little video. It was so we could remember it, but I’d love to share it with you guys. These are all friends I have made through Beachbody. It’s truly a blessing to get to call these guys my best friends! Couldn’t think of a better weekend than hanging out with Brian, Joseph, David, Carl, Nicholas, Lance, and Jeff!! AROO!
Oh and I finished my BEAST without a single burpee penalty. A perfect race! – The other guys were a little jealous ;-)
If you haven’t thought about doing a Spartan Race, you should! It’s a great way to use your fitness and have a ton of fun! They are a really well run race series the people you meet there are pretty cool too. Lots of fun people, living life and doing more!
I am working on some posts on Spartan Racing gear and some specific training. They should be coming up really soon, so keep a look out!
Some Beachbody Deals for November!
Not sure how many people on teamRIPPED these will be useful for LOL but BB is running some Challenge Pack Deals for November. For many of us, these might be programs that our wives have been looking at (PiYo specifically). If so, it’s a great time to get them.

I hope you make it a great weekend! I love getting to catch up with all of you, so please let me know how you are doing from time to time!
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!!
