Best Tasting Shakeology Recipes

I've got to share some of the best tasting shakeology recipes!

Those of you who know me or follow me KNOW that I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. Seriously if I don't have my chocolate fix...HEADS are gonna roll!

 I USED to actually eat a piece of chocolate everyday which is what led me to weight gain. Now I KNOW I wasn't "fat" but I def was chunky! haha I actually searched for some old pre-p90x pics and I found this one from Easter. I still have this jacket and ADORE IT (don't you love great buys like that?!) 
Anywho...I was prob about 129-130lbs here and my FACE looks puffy!! It's hard to find pics of my body because I would always hide behind something (like my cute niece!)

Before Shakeology, P90X, and a healthy lifestyle

If you are like me and NEED a sweet and satisfying snack but you still want to be fit....I've got your back!! I've scoured the internet for amazing recipes and through my P90X journey...I found Shakeology. Now I am SO lazy that I usually mix it in a shaker cup with just water but every now and then Im willing to bust out the Ninja for one of these recipes!

Skinny fat to curvy fit baby! It's all about having fun with it, not taking your fitness too seriously but then also finding healthy alternatives to the things you LOVE.

If you want me to coach you through P90X and/or Shakeology, just make me your coach by going here and signing up and then shoot me an email! 

After! Much happier with my bod!

ok so what is Shakeology?

Shakeology isn't just a meal replacement. It's my chocolate heaven. Basically it's a health shake jam packed with nutrients which fills any nutritional gaps in my diet.  It's not just a protein powder or your daily serving of fruits and veggies. Shakeology is all of that. Convenience baby.

Is Shakeology a Scam?

Every now and then a product pops up that claims to "revolutionize your life". It'll cure all your aches and pains, get you bigger and stronger or smaller and leaner. Many of you are probably wondering if Shakeology is just another scam. 

I'm not going to lie, before I bought this I totally googled "shakeology scam" because let's be real...the internet is not the most trustworthy place. I wanted to know why I couldn't get it at GNC or the health store.

Shakeology is only available for purchase to those living in the United States and Canada and can only be purchased through the Team Beachbody network of coaches (which I am now one of hehe)

I questioned it's benefits, especially when it costs around $120 a bag every month. But after doing some math...a tub of protein powder (taken daily), combined with the cost of one meal out (which we did almost daily) added up to way more than a bag of Shakeology, and that didn't include any of the fruits or veggies. Plus...those meals out were making me chunky monkey.

For the first week, it took me some getting used to drinking a shake...and figuring out how I liked it...but at the end of the first month, I was hooked. The biggest surprise was the taste. It actually tastes amazing! My experience with protein shakes was to just down them immediately! 

After drinking it daily, it took care of my chocolate addiction and I noticed an increase in my energy levels. 

Having something so easy to grab allowed me to really focus on mydiet: whether trying to eat a low calorie diet to lose weight or an increased calorie diet to add bulk, I'm able to focus on just the food we needed, and not worry about missing out on any nutrients.

There was also another huge benefit: weight loss. I was doing P90X and after my first month in...I added Shakeology to my routine. you can see an INSANE difference in my day 30-60 pics! 

Anyway, if you'd like to give it a whirl...I'd appreciate it if you ordered through my site and I'd love to help ya!  Shakeology

What's the difference between P90X, Body Beast and Chalean Extreme?

I've been getting a TON of questions about the difference between P90X, Body Beast and Chalean Extreme. Since I've done all 3, I thought I'd break it down for you =)

Duration of the Programs

• P90X is 13 weeks long
• Body Beast is 12 weeks 
• CLX is 12 weeks long.  With CLX, you have the option to do an additional month or more of the lean for life phase, which incorporates workouts mixed up from all the phases!

Trainers – they are ALL amazing, inspirational, and motivational!

• P90X – Tony Horton, a male trainer also created Power 90 and Power Half Hour.  He is hilarious and makes the workouts entertaining with his little one liners!  Very motivational and pushes you to your max!
• Body Beast- Sagi Kalev has been a bodybuilder since he was 16. He credits a 4-year tour of duty in the Israeli army with teaching him the discipline, focus, determination, and respect he brings to his bodybuilding training. He pursued a fitness modeling and acting career & has won two "Mr. Israel" titles. While he teases the other guys during the workout, he's very supportive and with you all the way. Sometimes he's unintentionally funny which is super endearing.
• CLX – Chalene Johnson, a female trainer, she is AMAZING! She is one of those people with  unlimited energy and spirit! She's got a ton of other programs like Turbo Jam, Turbo Kick and Turbo Fire.

P90X Results

Concept – P90X and Chalean Extreme both use the concepts of muscle failure and muscle confusion. Body Beast uses Dynamic Set Training. 

• Muscle confusion – you’re mixing up your workouts every few weeks to a month so that your muscles don’t get used to the same workouts.  It’s great, plus, you don’t get bored with the same old workouts over and over again!
• Muscle failure – you are working so hard and pushing your muscles to the max during these workouts, lifting heavy at low reps.  You want your muscles to fail by the 8th-12th rep so that they then build themselves up stronger to do more the next time you work them.
• Dynamic Set Training is a specific sequence of sets and reps which maximizes the muscle’s time under tension with the goal to exhaust the muscle and to recruit more muscle fiber. Dynamic Set Training is also designed to help enhance your body’s own testosterone production. Testosterone is the primary hormone responsible for developing muscle mass. The more testosterone the body makes, the faster it grows. 

Schedule

• Both P90X & Chalean Extreme have 3 days of resistance training, and 2 days of cardio.
• P90X though, includes a 6th day of yoga.
• Body Beast is divided into 3 Blocks
• Block 1: Build (3 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – a strong foundation is built, physically and nutritionally
• Block 2: Bulk (6 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – your size begins to show, your body is growing
• Block 3: Beast (3 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – cutting up, getting chiseled up, getting ready for competition

Body Beast Results

Phases

• All have 3 phases that last 1 month each.  In all 3 phases, both P90X & CLX use the same cardio workouts, it’s just the resistance workouts that change up.
• P90X – phase 1 and 2 use the same leg/back workout, but the other 2 days of resistance have different workouts in each phase.  In the 3rd phase, you basically alternate weeks – workouts from phase 1 in the first week, then from phase 2 in the second, and so on for 4 weeks.  P90X also has a recovery week in weeks 4, 8, and 13.  Recovery is yoga and a core workout and some kickboxing – it’s not recovery in the sense you would think though!!
• CLX – has 3 phases, burn, push and lean.  Each month incorporates totally different resistance workouts than the other phases.
• Body Beast is divided into 3 Blocks
• Block 1: Build (3 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – a strong foundation is built, physically and nutritionally
• Block 2: Bulk (6 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – your size begins to show, your body is growing
• Block 3: Beast (3 weeks, 6 days, 1 day off) – cutting up, getting chiseled up, getting ready for competition

Resistance Workouts

• P90X’s are 1 hour long each.  There are a lot of pushups, pullups and chinups.  You typically work one muscle group at a time.
• CLX’s range from 30-45 minutes, push being the shortest, then burn, then lean.  In burn & lean, you’re working more than one muscle group at a time.  For example, you might do bicep curls while doing a lunge.  In Push, you’re only working one group at a time.  And CLX resistance workouts have breakdown sets.  These breakdown sets are 3 reps you do after you’ve done the move to really break down the muscle and build it back up with lean muscle.  TOUGH!  You do pushups, but no pullups, and there are not nearly as many pushups as you have in P90X.  But her’s are super effective still!
• Body Beast workouts are 30-50 minutes long. You focus on one body part at a time.

P90X Results

Cardios

• P90X – They’re an hour long.  Cardio X is exactly that, an extreme cardio workout.  Plyo X is jump training and intervals and drills…all moves can be modified if jumping ain’t your thing!  Kenpo X is an hour long of martial arts/kickboxing type moves.  Great stress reliever!
• CLX – Burn Intervals is a 45 minute workout.  Alternates between cardio/plyo drills and light weight/high rep strength moves.  Burn it off is a 30 minute w/o with short bursts of cardio/plyo drills.    (CLX does have an upgrade package that would give you a few more cardios like these so you can mix it up)
• Body Beast-  A highly new-school performance-oriented cardio workout to not only help cut you up, but to increase your ability to get bigger. I was shocked at how intense this 30 min workout was! You use lighter weights all throughout the workout, but don't be fooled...it's a beast!

Yoga vs Recharge

• Yoga is the P90X workout, it’s 1 1/2 hours.  It’s tough, but a great workout!  Everyone hates it at first, but give it a chance!  It’s 1 day a week.  It incorporates some ab moves too.
• Recharge is CLX – it’s 20 minutes long and it’s yoga moves, but more of a stretch workout.  You do this on the same day as Burn it off.

Body Beast Results 

Ab Workouts

• P90X – AB RIPPER X baby!  This is a 16 minute long crazy ab workout!  It’s tough, but it WORKS like no other ab workout I’ve ever done!
• CLX – comes with 2 ab workouts.  1 is 10 minutes long, the other is 15.  The longer one is a little harder!  (Upgrade package comes with 1-2 more ab workouts – 1 is using the stability ball!)
• Beast Abs-  11 minutes long! Ab work is here for more than looks. A strong core helps you lift heavier weight safely and helps you improve your posture. You end the workout by spelling B-E-A-S-T with your legs lol 

Equipment

• For all programs, you’ll need a range of weights.  I personally have the bowflex select tech weights and LOVE them!  You can also use resistance bands in P90X or Chalene.
• P90X – you’ll need a chinup bar, or a resistance band that you can use to modify chinups.  You also may want pushup stands so that your wrists don’t both you during pushups, you don’t need them though.
• Body Beast- you will want to invest in a bench or stability ball, chin up bar. Check out this post for the equipment
• I recommend getting the Chin Up Assist and Workout Gloves

I can’t say any is better than the other!  They all work and I have the results to prove it! I'm only 4 weeks into Body Beast but already seeing improvements.

  CLX may be a little less intimidating for someone just starting out because the workouts aren’t quite as long.  And for a lot of people just starting, the hour or more can be too much.  All programs have modifiers, so that is not an issue. 
P90X has different schedules you can follow – the lean schedule is a bit more cardio focused and may be better for people just starting out, while classic schedule incorporates all resistance workouts.  You’ll see results with either P90X schedule though.  

Look at your goals...

Body Beast is aimed at muscle gain- pure bodybuilding. You do Dynamic set training to get big.
P90x is designed for overall fitness- allows you to improve your strength, endurance, power, mobility, cardiovascular, health, and achieve muscle growth. The goal is function fitness: to be able to move better and become more athletic. 

For guys I think P90X reminds of me of Brad Pitt in Fit Club and Body Beast would be like Thor lol

For girls...Im almost one month in. The scale hasn't budged but Im def a lot stronger. Im in the bulk phase now and I saw a couple girls say their quads are getting bigger. You do a build phase, build phase, then the last 30 days you get lean and cut. 

Chalean Extreme Results

I LOVVEEE Chalean Extreme- that use advanced circuit training-combining upper body/lower body/ and core moves to help you build lean muscle. it also has 3 phases burn/push/lean. Love love love this workout- she pushes you to lift heavier. the focus isn't on getting big- it's all about getting lean tight toned sexy muscle

Whatever your goal, take the leap of faith and GO FOR IT! It'll change your body...and change your life =)

How important is Diet when doing P90X or Insanity?

I am sure that a lot of you, just like me, discoveredInsanity and P90Xthrough and infomercial, a friend, of even from me! You hear how extreme these programs are and also how amazing the transformation results are of those are that actually complete the programs. I am sure you might have even searched on You Tube plenty of times to see if these workouts were the real deal, and you have probably seen so many real people getting real results! I know what you are thinking. “If they can do it, I can too! Right?!”

So now after you buy Insanity or P90X you expect results! Well I promise you that if you follow the rules of fitness you will not be disappointed! What are the rules you ask? Simple.

Ask yourself this. Everyone has broken a rule without anyone noticing, right? Well, unfortunately the rules a fitness are a little different. Not only does everyone notice when you are following the rules, but it’s even more obvious when you aren’t! You may try and hide the evidence but your body doesn’t lie!

If you are not following the Workout Guide AND a Good Diet, then don’t expect to see great results! It is as simple as that. Skipping workouts and not eating clean are NOT going to get you the results you crave. So many people ask, what if I do the workouts and don’t follow the Meal Plan 100%, will I still get results? NO. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

What some people don’t realize is that even if you workout to your max everyday, it is not enough.

I cannot repeat this enough: YOU CANNOT WORKOUT A BAD DIET! Period. Without good nutrition, all the hard work and sweat you put into your workouts will go unnoticed! I mean it boils down to what you want more: ice cream, soda, burger, pizza, fried chicken OR an amazing RIPPED body that other people admire and the feeling of being healthy. I’d take the second option. Remember you only enjoy food for no more than 15 min, while you are eating. Is it really worth it?!

A lot of people say, “But I’m eating better than I was before”. I hear this a lot. You may be eating better than before, but obviously there is room for improvement. You don’t need to have those fries or that soda or that extra salad dressing. If you don’t cut out the junk, you are wasting your time. It’s up to you. Do you realize it could take 4 days to work off 1 ”bad” meal?

Diet is 80% of a workout routine! Believe it or not.

If you’re in this for real, you should be mindful of what goes in your mouth. How bad do you want your results? Enough to commit yourself to a Workout Program for 2 or 3 months and enough to commit yourself 100% to the Meal Plan?

If you have been doing P90X or Insanity and are not seeing the results you expected, you are breaking the rules and you know it!

The rules are simple, eat clean and workout hard everyday! If you are expecting extreme results fast, you have to be extreme! If you are performing half way, don’t expect more than half the results!

Free Workout Fitness Club- 724 Fit Club!!!

The 724 Fit Club is taking Mars by storm!

  Melanie began the 724 Fit Club because she wanted to get people together to share advice and ideas on fitness and nutrition.  She also had gained so much knowledge from her experience with Insanity and P90X that she HAD to share it with others.  Seriously, if there is a fitness program out there that can change your life wouldn't you want someone to share it with you?  The main reason for the 724 Fit Club is to bring people together who all want to lose weight, get in shape, and/or lead a healthy lifestyle.  This group's focus is to motivate people to exercise and make healthy choices and to keep you accountable to your health and fitness goals each week. 

Why should you come to fit club?  Even if you already workout at the gym or go to an exercise class this is another great way to keep you moving during the week.  I bet your exercise class doesn't give you nutritional advice along with a high energy workout program with motivated people in the room with you.  Everyone has a smile on their faces and is happy to be there.  We share nutritional advice with each other before the workouts and post workout we talk about what we've been doing to stay on track with our fitness goals.  You also get to try some amazing products that Beachbody creates such as Shakeology and Results and Recovery Drink. 

Who should come to fit club?  ANYONE!  I mean ANYONE!  You can be a beginner who has never worked out before or a marathon runner who is fit as a fiddle!  Each week we will provide you with a different workout to get your heart rate up and burn some calories.  Each week modifications are shown for those that have restrictions on certain moves and exercises. 

Last week Nikki shared her transformation with P90X with us and the struggles she had getting to the point where she is today.  It is so nice to hear that other people struggle with their weight loss and eating healthy. It really makes you feel like pushing forward because you know that real people have achieved real results.  We were able to hold 2 workouts that evening.  Upstairs was KenpoX from P90X and downstairs was TurboFire!  Everyone had a great time and we were a sweaty mess afterwards!  I also launched the Fit Club Challenge which will kick off next week!  This challenge will be with all the members of fit club and is completely optional.  Tuesday we will open the doors at 6:30pm to begin weigh ins and pictures.  Each individual is required to complete their fitness goals and "why" and bring to class.  The challenge will run until December 20th at that time we will take after pictures and measurements and award the biggest transformation a prize!  Each month we will take updated pictures and measurements.  We want to keep people motivated to work out the other 6 days that they are not at fit club!  I'm so excited to see how this works out!

 

Next week we will be working out to the Brazil Butt Lift series.  This workout is made to get your hips, thighs and butt in shape!  So come ready to work your "boom boom"! 

The sense of community is amazing and I love standing back and watching people talk about health and fitness with eachother.  We are all learning so much and I can't wait to see what this journey has in store for everyone involved.  

So I highly recommend that you bring a friend and check out the 724 Fit Club every Tuesday night at 7:00 pm.  For more details check us out athttp://www.724fitclub.com/ or find us on facebook athttp://www.facebook.com/groups/106592159447820/#!/pages/724-Fit-Club/164273120321092

3. Sheryl Crow. Is there anything Crow won't try? In addition to all of these workouts, she has also seen great results from doing P90X!

4. Erin Andrews. When not dancing, ESPN sportscaster Andrews says that P90X keeps her lean and strong!

Stop being Skinny Fat- Don't be afraid of weights

Ladies, let's talk...I’m concerned about the skinny-fat among us. You know what I’m talking about. Skinny-fat women might look nice in a v-neck, but they’d sooner crawl into a hole than expose an upper arm or leg.

This is what happens when you become “skinny fat” instead of genuinely lean and fit (where the muscle and fat are fairly evenly distributed and you have a lot less cellulite). While you can’t fight your body’s natural shape, you can certainly maximize what you’ve got. What I’m talking about is the difference between curvy and super-fit ladies like Ciara (you can tell she works out) and certain starving-yet-sagging starlets (I won’t name names, mainly because there are too many these days and who can be bothered to keep track).

Skinny-fatness strikes women a lot more than men. I think this is mainly because men aren’t afraid of lifting weights to lose weight (and, to be fair, men naturally do have so much more muscle and far less fat). We women, on the other hand, evidently prefer inventing bizarre and complicated diet regimens revolving around arcane preparation rituals, subsistence on one food group or arbitrary calorie limits (whoever said women were bad at math has never met a woman 2 weeks before her high school reunion or 2 days before a date).

Simply dieting will eliminate weight, but it won’t tone anything. And because of our unique feminine physiology, the fat cells in our lower body are world-class clingers. Ughhh!! 

But before you get too depressed about the latest Kate Moss advertisement, consider this: I’m bringing this up because skinny-fatness is about a lot more than physical appearance. In fact, your dress size has nothing on the bigger issue – health. The good news: simply being skinny is not akin to being healthy. In fact, the skinnier you get, the more you’re at risk for things like osteoporosis!

The less muscle you have, the less work your bones have to do, and they begin to shed that incredibly valuable osseous material: your bones, which are, in fact, living tissues directly related to your blood, immune system, strength, longevity – even your mood. You know how coral reefs are actually living organisms that provide all sorts of vital and irreplaceable functions to the fish and plants and water surrounding them? Your bones are your body’s coral reef. You have to feed them, and weight-bearing activity = food for bones. In this country of aerobic fanatics and serial dieters, is it any wonder American women have such high rates of osteoporosis and a perpetual state of skinny-fatness? Who wants to look like Nicole Ritchie, now seriously? I’d rather look like Jamie Eason!

There’s only ONE solution to the problems we women face: osteoporosis, beach season, and the belly that won’t budge. The solution is weight-bearing activity. Aerobics will get your heart pumping and burn some calories, but it won’t maximize your shape. Dieting will help you shed excess weight, which is great for increasing your energy and reducing chances of myriad health conditions and diseases. But neither will make you look toned and sleek, and neither will do much to put a dent in your osteoporosis risk.

Are you lifting some weights yet? Get to it! If you are like me and need to be told exactly what the heck to do and when...you might want to look into a program like P90X :) Scuplt lean sexy lines! Or you can check out Chalean Extreme!
