Day 25 - P90X3 Pilates X

This was a hard core workout. It was my first time doing it so I was not familiar with the moves and breathing. I need to improve on this one a lot. Lol.

Day 24 - P 90X3 Accelerator

Day 24 - P90X3 Accelerator done. First time doing this workout. It's a nice cardio workout! It worked my whole body! There were a lot of planks and leg work. The moves were a minute each and at times the speed changed from fast to faster. I had a nice sweat session.

Shakeology

Shakeology is the healthiest meal of my day! It's fast, convenient to make and tastes so good for being nutritious! If you haven't seen my blog post earlier on why I love shakeology click here: http://stayhealthynfit4you.blogspot.com/2013/11/why-do-i-love-shakeology.html .

Day 22 - P90X3 Isometrix

Day 22 of P90X3 - This is the first day of the transition week and Isometrix was a tough one. Tony Horton says in the beginning, "it's the hardest part of yoga." He is totally right. It was hard! It's all about balance. You hold each move for 45 seconds.

Challenge Packs are the Best Value!

Five Days left for you to get the Focus T25 or P90X3 Challenge Pack on sale for $180.

Day 18 - P90X3 The Challenge

First time using the Chin-up Max assist band for this workout and I liked it! It helps a lot! I used to use a chair or stool but using the Chin-up Max is way better! I like getting the full range of motion when doing pull-ups.

But I also need to work on my form on my push-ups but you get the gist.

Day 14 - P90X3 Dynamix

Two weeks of P90X3 done :)! P90X3 Dynamix is a great dynamic stretching workout. I would recommend doing it on rest days. It helps increase range of motion, flexibility and stabilization.

New program coming in February, 21 Day Fix

This February, Beachbody is releasing an all new program, the 21 Day Fix, that combines simple fitness with a simple eating plan that will give you real, noticeable results in JUST 21 days.

Here's a sneak peak of the Total Body Cardio workout.

Day 12 - P90X3 CVX

This is a nice cardio and weights workout! You do each set of exercises twice. This workout always gives me a good sweat.

Day 11 - P90X3 The Challenge

The Challenge is just all pull-ups and push-ups. You pick a number you want to do for each set of pull-ups and push-ups and your goal is to reach that number each time. This is my least favorite P90X3 workout, but I got it done. I modify my pull-ups with resistance bands. I will be getting the Chin up max assist band soon to help with the pull-ups and can wait to try that out.

Day 10 - P90X3 Yoga

I like the variety of P90X3! I had never done yoga before until P90X3. I'm not that flexible but this was a great stretch workout! Here are some of the moves.

Day 9 - P90X3 Agility X

Day 9/90 - P90X3 Agility X done. This workout focuses on agility, balance, and plyometric moves. I got a great sweat session. Here's a video to give you an idea of the workout.

Updated with shipping Changes - Best or cheap way to get Shakeology

Effective Jan 7th 2014, the standard shipping rate for all HD (Home Direct) products will be $2.00 per item. I have updated my blog article below with the changes.


Interested in Shakeology? What’s the best way to purchase it?

Many people are interested in how to get Shakeology cheap. The retail price of Shakeology is $129.95.

There are three ways you can get Shakeology at a discount:
1. Become a Team Beachbody Coach. A 25% Savings!
2. Become a Team Beachbody Club member. A 10% Savings!
3. Order Shakeology with auto ship aka Home Direct (HD), just pay $2.00 Super Discount Shipping. A Savings of $12.95.

Option 1, Coaches get 25% off all product purchases, which saves $29.49 per month on Shakeology alone. The cost for a coach account is $39.99, a one-time sign-up fee (which is waived if you buy a Challenge Pack or are an Active Military Member. Challenge Packs include a Beachbody program, Shakeology Home Direct, and a free 30-day trial of Team Beachbody Club membership which gives you access to additional fitness and nutritional tips and information including a personalized meal planner.)
Then there’s a $15.95 per month coach fee (waived if you are an Active Military Member).
Even with these fees you, Shakeology will be cheaper than buying at regular price.
You can also earn 25% commission for referring customers who purchase products through your coach website.

Option 2, Team Beachbody Club Members get 10% off all purchases, including Shakeology, and receive online personalized nutritional planning along with other premium club membership services and information such as trainer tips and recipes. Club members pay $38.87 per quarter, an average of $12.95 per month.

Option 3, the last option is Home Direct (Auto Ship) Customers get Super Discount Shipping $2.00, which saves them $12.95 per order per month. Home Direct places you on a 30 day auto ship program, where you receive the product automatically each month.

So here’s the Shakeology Pricing and Breakdown:
Retail Customers: $129.95 + S&H $14.95 = $144.90. This comes to $4.83/serving.
Retail on Home Direct: $129.95 + tax ($2.00 Super Discount Shipping.. save $12.95)= $131.95. This comes to $4.40/serving.
Club Member (10% discount): $116.95 + S&H $14.95+ $12.95 (cm fee charged as $39 every 3 months) = $144.85. This comes to $4.83/serving.
Club Member on Home Direct: $116.95  + $12.95 (cm fee) +$2.00 Super Discount Shipping = $131.90. This comes to $4.40/serving.
Coach Account (25% off): $97.46  + $14.95 S&H + $15.95 (coach fee)= $128.36. This comes to $4.28/serving.
Coach Account on Home Direct: $97.46  + $15.95 (Coach Fee) + $2.00 Super Discount Shipping = $115.41. This comes to $3.85/serving.
The figures above do not include tax.

So the cheapest way to order Shakeology is as a Coach on Home Direct, as well as by buying a Challenge pack, which waives the one-time coach fee. Once you're a coach, for every customer that you get on home direct, you will receive $32.49 every month that they get Shakeology.  Sign up 3 people under you and that is covering your $97.46 price. Now you are paying only the $15.95/month for your websites and $2 Shipping.  Refer a forth person and you're getting paid to drink Shakeology!

You can sign up as a coach by clicking here: 

Also, you have Shakeology's "Bottom of the Bag Guarantee". If you don't like it you can return it. Shakeology is sold with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery (about 2 weeks after the product was shipped from our warehouse). You may return Shakeology packages that have been opened and used, even if the bag is totally empty.

I must admit, I had signed up as a Coach at first to just get the Shakeology discount since I liked it so much. :)
