Ultimate Reset Review: Day 3

As you guys know, Melinda and I are doing the Beachbody Ultimate Reset and are currently on Day 4. I’ve been sharing my Ultimate Reset reviews every day while on this journey, and now it’s time to review day 3.

Yesterday was 100X better than Day 2. In case you didn’t read my Ultimate Reset review of day 2, that day was absolutely MISERABLE! I mean seriously, it was one of the worst days of my life. Why? I had a migraine like headache for 15 hours and just felt like crap all day. When I woke up on Day 3, it was like I was a new man! Headache was gone and I just felt great and woke up in an excellent mood. However, I did start to get this achy feeling in my legs, and that achy feeling seemed to increase all throughout the day.

Yesterday was also a VERY productive day for me. From the moment I woke up to the time I stopped for the evening I got a TON of stuff done! I helped clean the house, made a few videos, and got things done that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I don’t know what happened, whether it was the Reset or not, but I was extremely motivated to work. From the other Ultimate Reset reviews I’ve been reading, this seems to be a common experience.

That’s my Ultimate Reset review of day 3, and I will make a new review of day 4 for you all tomorrow! BTW the food ROCKS in this program! If you want to learn more about the Reset, just click here.

Beachbody Ultimate Reset Review: Day 2

Yesterday sucked, that’s all there is to it. Like I shared in yesterdays Beachbody Ultimate Reset review, I woke up with a headache, but it got progressively worse throughout the day. It got to the point where my head was pounding, I was extremely sensitive to light and sound, and was even very nauseated. What’s worse, though, is that I wasn’t able to take anything to take it away, so I dealt with it for 15 hours, yes, 15 HOURS! I tried everything, from taking a hot shower to taking naps, but no matter what I did, it still wanted to hang

around. I don’t know if it was my body releasing some of the toxins or if I was going through some sort of caffeine withdrawal, but it wasn’t fun. What was odd about it too was that it felt like I had some sort of sinus infection and the pressure in my head was unbelievable. What helped some was when I went outside or just sat literally straight up, which is what I did for about 3 hours last night before bed, and that seemed to help quite a bit actually. Regardless, I was miserable yesterday.

On a good note, the food was fantastic and I never got hungry during the day! For breakfast we had oatmeal with blueberries and plain yogurt with honey and it tasted delicious. For lunch we had a chicken salad with the same dressing that we used from the day before, and for a snack we had an apple with organic peanut butter, which was one of the snack options. Dinner was my favorite meal of the day, though, and we had corn tortillas with homemade salsa, avocado, brown rice, black beans, and some steamed spinach with sunflower seeds on the side. So far I’m absolutely LOVING the Ultimate Reset recipes!

I’ve had some changes happen today, but I will talk about that in tomorrows’ Ultimate Reset Review. Good news, though, is that I don’t have a  headache! Again, if you want to learn more about the Ultimate Reset, just click here!

Ultimate Reset Review: Day 1

Oh man, it’s tough to focus on writing this now because the headache I currently have is TERRIBLE, but I’m not going to talk about that right now and give you guys an accurate Ultimate Reset Review of Day 1.

So as you know, I started the Beachbody Ultimate Reset yesterday. I decided to do it because I’ve had years of bad eating habits and know I have many toxins built up in my body. Needless to say, it’s time to “reset” the system, and I was a little hesitant to do it at first since I wouldn’t be able to work out for 21 days, but the pro’s outweighed the cons and now I’m on Day 2. So, here’s my Ultimate Reset Review: Day 1….

Yesterday was strange. I really don’t know of any other way to describe it, but I just felt strange all day long. Let’s start from the morning. When we woke up, we took our Ultimate Reset Supplements for the first time. And when I say “we,” I mean my wife Melinda and I. First, we drank 16 oz of distilled water with the Mineralize supplement, and then we took the Optimize pills and lastly, the oxygen drops. A half hour later we had breakfast, and I was really surprised with the amount of food that we were supposed to eat. Surprised in a good way of course because I like to eat! Anyways, we had 2 pieces of 100% whole grain toast, 2 cups fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and kale. Everything tasted good to me except the kale, and I’m going to start replacing it with spinach, which is one of the options.

About an hour later I started feeling very spaced out. I was having trouble focusing and started getting tired as well. Shortly after it was time to take the supplements again, so we did, and then waited a half hour to eat. Lunch was EXCELLENT yesterday, and we had a salad that had spinach leaves, sunflower seeds, cucumber, carrots, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, dill, and then a healthy creamy garlic dressing. Surprisingly, it filled me up, and I was good for a few hours.

Next, it was time to take the Alkalinize supplement. From what I heard about it from others, it is NASTY, so I was expecting it, but it didn’t make it any better. It was gross, but I choked it down. Then I decided that I was going to mow the lawn, causing me to miss my snack, and that was a mistake. I was STARVING by the time 6:00 PM rolled around! I drank a lot of water, though, and held off until dinner, which was excellent. We had baked salmon with lemon, baby potatoes, and asparagus, and again I was surprised with the amount of food! I actually felt full afterwards.

Late last night is when the headache started coming on, probably somewhere around midnight or so, and it stayed with me all through the night. I have been expecting it, though, since I didn’t drink any caffeine. I will pick up on how I feel today in my post tomorrow.

Best Beachbody Team

When you’re looking for a Beachbody team to join when thinking about becoming a Beachbody Coach, you have a lot of decisions to make. The most important, though, is whose team do you join? The last thing you want to do is get signed up under someone who doesn’t have a track record of success. That’s not an issue with our team. I would have to say that our team, Team Next Level, has one of the best, if not the best Beachbody team in the entire network! Am I biased because I created it? Not really. Instead, I have the facts to back it up. Before I get into that, though, I want to take some time and explain what our team is all about.

When I formed Team Next Level, I had a goal and vision to form a team of integrity, hard workers, and people who are passionate about one thing, and that’s changing lives. I have been very fortunate to be raised by my parents and grandparents to live my life with integrity, and I have done so with everything that I’ve done to this point, from my relationships to my business. When people ask to join Team Next Level, I make sure that they have the qualities it takes to fit in with our team, and integrity is at the top of the list. Without integrity, you can’t build trust, and trust is extremely important, from your relationships with your customers to the relationships with your fellow Beachbody Coaches.

Next, we are a VERY hard working team! Success takes hard work, period. If you want to be successful in anything that you do in life, you have to put in the necessary effort in order to do so. We create goals, both short term and long term, and expect you to do the same when you become a Beachbody Coach on our team. Once you create those goals, it’s important that you do whatever you need to do in order to reach them, and we will be here to support and help you 100% of the way.

Last, you have to be passionate about helping others. I decided to become a Beachbody Coach not for the money, but rather because I wanted to make a difference in the world. In fact, I really didn’t even understand what the business was all about in the beginning, but joined because I felt fulfilled every time I got an email from someone that told me how much I had helped them change their life. That’s what it’s all about! What’s so interesting about the Beachbody Business, though, is that the more you focus on changing lives, the more your business increases. If you’re looking to join a Beachbody Team strictly for the money, then you won’t be a good fit with our team, but if you are passionate about changing lives, then we would welcome you with open arms!

What about the proven track record? For the last 2 years a Team Next Level Beachbody Coach has one the Top Beachbody Coach award. I was named Top Beachbody Coach 2010 and one of my personally sponsored coaches, Wayne, was named Top Beachbody Coach 2011. We currently have 3 others currently in the Top 10 Beachbody Coaches this year. I was also number 4 in the Top Coach Contest in 2011, and have been an Elite Coach for the past 2 years. I am also currently a 14 Star Diamond Beachbody Coach (15 Star Qualification) and a part of CAB (Coach Advisory Board), which is a group of 8 coaches chosen to represent the entire network. When it all comes down to it, we are a very successful Beachbody Team, but it’s because we have focused on changing lives, built our businesses with integrity, and work hard every single day to reach our goals.

Also, we have UNBELIEVABLE training and support! I have created a training website that is able to be accessed by anyone on Team Next Level. We have a 4 week training program that we will get you plugged into the moment you get signed up, and you will have a weekly call with your sponsor each week for the entire 4 weeks. On top of that, we have our own Facebook team page for support and accountability. If you ever need help with anything and want to get different opinions on it, all you have to do is post in the group and someone will almost immediate get back to you every time. We are a team that supports one another! What it all comes down to is that you will have all the training and support you need, but ultimately your success is based on the effort you put into it.

If you would like to become a Beachbody Coach on the best Beachbody Team in the country, Team Next Level, just shoot me an email at coachspence8@yahoo.com and we will set up a call to make sure you are a good fit!

Body Beast

OK, this is something that I’m absolutely PUMPED about! In case you haven’t yet heard, Beachbody is coming out with a new program that focuses on gaining mass called Body Beast. I know this fires up many of the people that I coach because I’ve been getting questions like “how do I gain mass with P90X” for a long time, and now I can just direct them to this new program. The new Body Beast workout is going to ROCK!

In case you don’t know my story, I went through P90X back in 2008 because I was overweight and needed to lose weight. After I went through P90X, lost 25 lbs, I got very lean and wanted to switch goals from losing weight to gaining mass. That’s when I went through another round of P90X, but made some major adjustments to the program, supplements, and diet in order to gain mass. For example, I increase my calorie intake from 1,800 per day to around 2,800, started taking creatine and more whey protein, and cut out a lot of the cardio workouts since burning calories wasn’t my goal. These changes helped me gain back quite a bit of weight WITHOUT gaining body fat, and made me much stronger. Since then, I have switched back and forth between leaning out and gaining mass just to keep me motivated to continue pushing forward. I always have to have something to aim for! Because I was able to gain mass with P90X, many people have come to me wondering what I did in order to do so, and even though what I told them worked, it wasn’t an exact plan to follow. Now with Body Beast there is an EXACT diet for gaining mass and workout plan that you follow for 90 days to gain muscle that you want!

Like I just mentioned, Body Beast is going to be a 90 day program that’s going to help you increase mass. I was actually just out there in Tahiti with one of the people who were in the test group in the program, and he said that he gained around 12 lbs with the new mass gaining program! One of his coworkers went through the program as well and ended up having very similar results. He said that the diet plan is completely laid out there for you, and that he had to actually take in around 6,000 calories per day, which seems like a lot, but necessary for someone like him who is skinny and wanted to gain mass. When you have a fast metabolism, that’s what it takes to get results! I asked him about mass gaining supplements as well, and he mentioned it involved a lot of whey protein and creatine, which is what I always recommend. After looking at his “after” photo, his results were CRAZY! It’s awesome knowing someone who actually went through the program and got results with it.

If you’re skinny and want to gain mass or just want to switch up your goals a little, Body Beast is going to be a great program to help you do so. After I get done with the Ultimate Reset and with the traveling I’ll be doing for the next few months, the plan is to start Body Beast and see just how much mass I can gain. I will be starting Challenge Groups for this program once it comes out, and I will update you more on this one I know the exact release date. If you want to be updated on the new Body Beast program, make sure you add me as your Beachbody Coach, and email me at coachspence8@yahoo.com.

Challenge Group Review

Jen’s P90X Challenge Group Review

“Have you ever looked in the mirror at your own reflection and felt incomplete? I know have millions of times. I committed to the P90X challenge group because I was inspired by everyone who has changed their life simply by staying focused on making a positive change. I’ve seen some pretty amazing transformations and I wanted someone to be able to look at my journey from start to finish and feel the same way. I needed that extra help and motivation from everyone going through it with me. I wanted to be an active role model and help motivate others to do what I was about to do. I too needed to make a major change in my life. I need it to be physical,mental and emotional. I wanted to feel good about the way I looked when I stepped in front of a mirror or when shopping for new clothes. I needed the emotional strength to raise my self-esteem, and i needed the mental toughness to push through every workout and turn away from bad eating habits. It is never easy to kick old bad habits, especially when they are so easy to fall back into.

I’ve been lifting weights since I was about 14 years old. I never received proper nutrition guidance or even proper work out techniques to burn fat. Although building muscle has always been easy for me to accomplish, body fat is always something I’ve struggled with and having a belly and being over weight my whole life is something i’ve always hated. I have always been into watching and playing sports, especially snowboarding, football, and baseball. A few years ago I decided I wanted to try out for the police academy and I started training really hard and eating healthy. I was really focused on my goal of losing weight and passing the physical agilities test to have a chance to be in the academy. I stopped eating fast food, drinking soda, and changed my workout regularly so that I wouldn’t plateau. I lost 52lbs in just around 3 months. I didn’t take supplements or pills or anything, just ate right and worked out hard. I felt great, I lost 2 pant sizes and was happy when I saw my reflection, not to mention, my social life became a lot busier. I had lots of people asking me how I lost so much weight in such little time. They couldn’t believe it was something as simple as what I had done.

I thought about that, It is exactly that simple to fuel your body with the right foods it needs to burn stored fat and use it as energy. P90X is perfect for that, but looking back at everything it was going to take to change, it really hit me that the most important change that I made in order to succeed was the mental change. As long as you focus, anything is possible. I made it to the academy but it was short-lived due to an injury to my knee tearing the cartilage in two places. I decided to map out a new path for my future and I realized as long as I’m helping others, the career choice will be a good one. At the time of the injury and the end of the police academy I was a lifeguard and swim coach. That had been my job for the past 4 years. That was one of the best jobs I ever had, and though school I continued on with it for the next 3 years. The feeling I had every time one of my students progressed and celebrated with excitement was everything to me. I had to give that job up when it was time to have my knee operation to fix my cartilage. After I was healed and going through physical therapy, I continued school to get my Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. I studied the human anatomy and human physiology to learn what really makes our bodies work right and decided I wanted to focus on Athletic Training and Nutrition Science.

I was really into learning everything I could about it. The problem was, from the time I stopped the police academy in 2008 until Feb. 2011, I was learning everything I could about the way our bodies function but I wasn’t actively taking care of my own. I had let myself go and I fell back into old bad habits gaining back everything I had worked so hard to lose. I didn’t make the commitment to myself to always make health and fitness a high priority in my life and now i’m having to start back over. At first I was very disappointed in myself for letting that happen. Now I am in a different place and I have learned to change that disappointment into a hard life lesson. I met my beachbody coach online (Josh Spencer) after seeing his amazing transformation. He truly inspired me to want to make the commitment to change my life for good. After seeing his and his fiancée’s hard work, I collected myself and made the commitment to start P90X. Not just start it, but join one of Josh’s challenge groups. It was the best decision i made because i needed that help to stay focused. I have my goals and dreams set in place for motivation. One of them is my wedding in August 2012. It’s easy to make goals but to push and follow through with them is the challenging part. When I was tired or wanted to skip a day, that challenge group was there and seeing every post made me feel guilty for even thinking about not working out. So I sucked it up and did it. I’m finally getting into the body I’ve always wanted and I hope everyone who reads this will follow everyone else in their advice and make the commitment in doing the same. Thank you so much to Josh Spencer and my whole group for keeping up the commitment and motivation.

Forever committed and inspired,

Jen”

Beachbody Ultimate Reset

Literally about 2 seconds ago I got done ordering the new Beachbody Ultimate Reset! There are a few reasons why I want to do it: (1) We will be getting back from our trip to Tahiti, and no, I don’t plan on eating 100% healthy there, and yes, I will be having a few drinks as well, and (2) I am really looking forward to “resetting” by body, and experiencing the results first hand so that I can officially recommend it to all the people that I coach.

Let’s back up a little. What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset? It’s a 21 day reset system that gets rid of all the toxins that are in the body. I guess you can call it somewhat of a cleanse, but really, it’s so much more than that. Most cleanses are crazy unhealthy, but this one is different and is VERY healthy for you, which is why I want to try it out. You all know that when it comes to putting something into my body, it’s going to be of the highest quality. Anyways, back in October when I was at the Success Club Leadership Retreat, us Elite Beachbody Coaches got to hear the developers of the Ultimate Reset explain it, what’s involved, and their reasoning for putting it together how it is. We also got to see some UNREAL success stories from it! One of the guys in the test group ended up losing about 31 lbs in 21 days! I was actually supposed to be in one of the test groups, but it wasn’t going to be possible to do it during the time they wanted us to do it because of traveling and what not. However, some of the other Elite Coaches got to do it and I have been watching their journey through it, and I’m unbelievably impressed with the Ultimate Reset Reviews I’ve been hearing! Some of my close friends have lost between 13 and 20 pounds! I keep hearing common things like their energy increased, they just felt “healthier,” and of course the weight loss after going through it.

What does the Ultimate Reset involve? First and foremost, you’re not allowed to workout during these 21 days. This was something I was very hesitant about because I love working out every day, but in the end I really feel I need this. I’m willing to make the necessary sacrifice to get the results. Next, there is a very specific diet that you will follow every day! The package actually comes with a diet book to help you out. There also will be 6 supplements that you will take on a daily basis as well. And last, from what I hear you will be drinking a TON of water! Looks like I’m going to be best friends with the bathroom for 21 days!

Because of the good things I’ve been hearing about it, I’ve decided to give it a try. Once we get back from Tahiti, which will be something like May 5th, we’re going to start it the following Monday, which is May 7th. It is going to involve 100% COMMITMENT from her and I, and that’s why we’ve decided to form a Facebook group for accountability and support. We don’t plan on deviating away from the system AT ALL, and it would be nice to have others going through the same thing there to help an support us. If you want to be in our Ultimate Reset group, you will have to purchase the Beachbody Ultimate Reset no later than Friday, April 27th so that it’s here on time. Once you purchase, let either Melinda and I know and we will put you in the group! We look forward to going through this with a lot of you! If you have any questions, feel free to email me at coachspence8@yahoo.com.

Yesterday was, well, not so much of an enjoyable day for me. It seemed as if everything that could have went wrong did go wrong. I had a plan to get things done in a certain time frame, and that plan didn’t end up the way I wanted it to, so I had to improvise, and that includes my workout. It would have been very easy for me to make excuses as to why I couldn’t work through all of the tasks that were on my task list, but that’s not how I do things. When I set out to get something done, no matter how tired I am, how much lack of time I have, it gets done. That my friends, is a BIG KEY to success! Those little decisions that you make play a major role in how quickly you move towards success.

My day started off like any other day, I got up, answered the emails and messages that I received, reached out to all of the people who just made me their Beachbody Coach, and the plan was to then mow the lawn, work out, eat dinner, and spend the rest of the night with Melinda and Madison. It didn’t work out that way. First of all, keep in mind that I just purchased a brand new Toro TimeMaster 30″ cut mower that literally says “Guaranteed to Start” in big letters right on top of the engine. Well, I went outside to mow, pulled the string, and guess what, it didn’t start. Next thing I know the engine is flooded after just one or two pulls. I’m thinking, “What the heck is going on here?” I’ve flooded engines before and know how to fix the problem, so I decided to get to work on it to figure out just what the issue was. I didn’t have the right tools and needed some help, so my dad came up to give me some assistance with it. We cleaned off the spark plug, tried it again, and it still wouldn’t start. Now it’s literally pouring gas out of the muffler, along with some other places as well. Somehow after working on it for a while, we got it to start, but then couldn’t get it started again. We came to discover that there was a flaw in the mower, and there was nothing we could do to fix it, so we had to return it back to the store. It’s now 5:30 PM and I haven’t eaten since breakfast. I’m ticked off.

After we took it back, they had no more in stock so they let us know that we would have to purchase it online. OK, it is what it is. I’ll just accept it and move forward. They refunded me in gift cards and I went back home, got on the computer and ordered another one of the same mowers online. Before I ordered, though, I decided to take my E&E pre-workout because there was no way I was missing a workout today. I went ahead and ordered the mower to be delivered to the house, but for some reason I never got verification like I was supposed to, so I was chatting with a rep to find out what was going on. The chat box freezes and I had to go back and explain exactly what happened to another rep, and then that chat box froze. Now I’m pretty dang irritated, my E&E has worn off because it’s taken me an hour and a half to get this done, I’m exhausted and drained because I hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and I was contemplating working out. I thought, “Man, it would be nice to just eat dinner, have a few glasses of wine and just relax for the rest of the night.” But then I started thinking abut my goals and where I wanted to be with my fitness by the time I go to Tahiti in a few weeks, and I walked into the bedroom, put on my workout clothes, went downstairs and tore up some One on One 30/15. It was ROUGH, but I really pushed myself through it! I didn’t get done with the workout until around 8:45 PM, had dinner, and then relaxed with Melinda for the rest of the night.

I have had success with mostly everything that I’ve done, from the fitness to the business, and this is one of the main reasons why. Sure, I have times where I don’t feel like working out, I’m exhausted, I’m sick, I don’t have enough time, but somehow, someway, I force myself to get done what I set out to accomplish. I eliminate all the excuses. I know that this one little decision is going to help me move towards my goals, ultimately helping me achieve success! Whenever you come to a point where you have to make a decision, whether it be to work out or eat healthy, ask yourself beforehand if the decision you make will help you move towards your goals or away from them. Once you make the RIGHT decision day in and day out, over a period of time you will move quicker towards success than if you choose the wrong decision. Eliminate the excuses and GET THINGS DONE! It’s a key to success.

P90X2 Review

“First of all, here is some basic information about myself. I am a 18 and a senior in high school. I run Cross Country and Track, and am also a big Beachbody fan! I began using P90X in November 2008. I completed 3 full rounds of it and got great results. I added some lean quality muscle and strength, and improved all aspects of my functional fitness. I then soon purchased P90X+, Insanity, and the One on One workouts. I was mainly doing a bunch of hybrids along with my running routine, until I got P90X2 this past December! I officially started the program on January 2, 2012, and I also planned to run 6 days a week to prep for my track season.

My main goal was to add to my athletic performance and functional strength to help me with my running in track come later in the spring. I bought the P90X2 Deluxe package which came with a stability ball, medicine balls, a foam roller. I also already had a pullup bar and a weight set from 3-55 pounds. The first phase of P90X2, called the foundation phase, is all about increasing your core strength, balance, and stability. These workouts were challenging, but they didn’t give me too much trouble since I had already had some experience from using the One on One workouts. I also slightly modified the schedule to fit into a 5 day period instead of a 6, so that way I could still get in my long run in on Saturdays then use Sunday as my rest day. After 3 weeks, I moved on to phase 2, the strength phase.

The 2nd phase is the most similar to P90X. The focus here is more on building functional strength, but by still incorporating balance and instability by using stability and medicine balls. I especially enjoyed getting to workout out with my coach, Josh Spencer, in X2 Shoulders + Arms! I did this phase for a total of 4 weeks, but switched in the bonus workouts the last 2 weeks.

Now this is what I had been waiting for, phase 3, the performance phase. During the next 3 weeks, I got to use the new P.A.P (Post-Activation-Potentiation) workouts. These workouts are killer and are all about increasing your overall athleticism. I was super sore after the first week, but during weeks 2 and 3 I saw major improvements in my reps and speed. My core and legs also become a lot stronger, which helped with my running and having a strong finishing kick in my races.

I have to say that I enjoyed P90X2 more than P90X. I love the concept of improving your athletic ability and not just your strength. After I finished the program on March 11, I noticed I was leaner, but my weight stayed relatively the same. Also, my track season has been going great. I am currently running 5 days a week, have a track meet once a week, and I also throw in 1-2 P90X2 or One on One workouts a week. My best races so far this season include a 11:09 2 mile, 4:57 mile, and 2:13 800 meters. I definitely plan to incorporate P90X2 into my next hybrid program after the end of my track season.”

P90X Challenge Group Review

I’ve been asking the people who are currently part of or have taken part of one of my P90X Challenge Groups to write reviews on the groups so that I can show you all just HOW EFFECTIVE these groups really are! If you’re looking for the BEST WAY to stay committed and to get excellent results, you’re not going to find a better way than with a Challenge Group. Here’s another one of the people I coach, Josh’s, P90X Challenge Group Review.

Josh’s P90X Challenge Group Review

“It’s hard to believe that just 80 days ago I started something that would forever change my life and those around me in such a wonderful way. I never would have thought that something as simple as eating right and exercise would impact my family, my job, my life in general so much.

Since starting P90x I have lost 27lbs and 15% BF and feel like a new man. I am not done yet however, I was worse of when I started this program then I thought so it will take another round to get the results I want to see but I now know after making it this far, that nothing can stop me. I have a new found confidence that I have never had before. My energy level is through the roof and my attitude in general is much more relaxed. Work has become much less stressful even though it is the busiest time of the year. My wife and I are getting along so much better, and I know its because I am in a better mood and much less irritable.

This is not my first time trying the 90x program. My first attempt, 2 years ago was unsuccessful because I was not ready to make the commitment that I needed to make. But this time is different. I had friend’ed Josh Spencer on facebook some time ago, and I would watch his post and slowly, the urge to better myself started to grow. He was one of the reasons for the start of my interest in 90x peeking again. Still yet, I wasn’t quite ready to start the program. At almost 245lbs I started biking a little and running here and there. After a few months I had managed to get around the 235lbs range and then Christmas came. My wife bought me a dress shirt, and instead of getting an XL or and XXL she had bought an Large. I couldn’t even button the shirt. That was the final straw. Once the holiday ended and we made it home, I messaged Coach Josh Spencer and he said he had a challenge group starting and welcomed me to join it. I did and it was the best decision I could have made.

Like I said I had attempted the program before and I was unsuccessful. But this group was exactly what I needed. The level of support that was given from Josh and the group members was great. The original group fell apart except for myself and another member. Josh seen that the other member and I were in it for the long haul so he moved us into another group, Team Forget The Rest! This group was on fire and EVERYONE in the group was as motivated to be as successful as Sean (the other member that got moved over) and I were.. With the amount of support from this group, and the way it made you feel so accountable for your diet and work out, there was no way to not be 100% committed.

My wife is now doing Insanity, I work out with my father every morning and now my sister is starting 90x. This program has forever changed my life, and for as long as I am able I will use it to help others change in the same way. Not only does it give you a self confidence to be a better husband, father, brother, mother, sister, wife, friend and an overall better person but it will open your eyes to how easy it is to get where you want to be in life if you just decide to commit!

Thank you Coach Josh Spencer, and my entire group in Team Forget the Rest!”
