What is your Challenge & Energize review

Focus T25 - challenging each other

We have 3 others joining us in our Focus T25 challenge for the next few months. How are you doing? We would enjoy being accountable to even more of you. Tammy and I often use the Energy and Endurance product before our workouts (usually only 1 scoop which is a 1/2 dose). Recently I tried the new Energize at a full dose which for this product is 1 scoop. See my review below for information. Also Tuesday, Tammy shared her heart about what it means to face a challenge. I wanted to repost it here and encourage you to ask yourself what challenge are you facing? Will you come out better for it in the other end? (T25 Review)

Words from my wife...Stop Wallowing (Tammy's post) 
We are on day 2 of our Autumn T25 challenge but I am undertaking another challenge this season as well. For me fitness is the easy part. I love to workout, the tougher the better. I'm kind of intense that way. I can see and feel the effects mentally and physically. However, the greater challenge is my day to day attitude toward home and family. We are in a rough season that has been pressing, discombobulating and just plain hard. It has torn me down and I want to be built back up. I want to be "good" when someone asks how I am. I want to rise above my emotions and experience a free life again not the oppression I have been under. I am making it my Autumn challenge to stop wallowing in the difficulties. To focus on the the little good things that happen everyday and pray when they don't. So I ask you, what's your challenge? Is it your health? I can help, send me a message. Is it home? Is it family? Is it something else? Then let's journey together. I will hold you up in prayer.

Energize review

(Note Additional Drink Information found here - Drinks: Recovery, Protein and Shakeology)

The short review, is this one is probably not for me. I had tried it before, at 1/2 scoop and it was fair. I tried a full scoop today and experienced the tingling from the Beta Alanine that is expected. This reaction is normal as stated in the "Watch this video" link about the science of the product. I may try a reduced dosage again, but I did not like the feeling. Beta Alanine is a great endurance substance and the supplement is state of the art, but it may not be for me at this time and for the Focus T25 routine. Many may not mind the tingle, but for me I will be returning to 1 scoop of the Energy & Endurance for the pre-workout drink. With either product it is key yo start your workout within 5-10 minutes for us, or we feel a bit anxious (Tammy and I do not have caffeine in our normal diet.) Below is information about Energize.

What is the science behind the Energize formula?
Watch this video on Energize.

What can cause a tingling sensation while using Energize?
Beta Alanine, an amino acid naturally occurring in the body, elevates levels of the protein carnosine.

Is the tingling sensation normal?
Yes. The effect will subside with the onset of exercise and with continued, regular use.

Was tingling taken into account when calculating the dosage?
Yes. The Energize dosage of 800mg is shown to be the most effective while keeping tingling to a minimum.

What is difference between the Energize and E&E formulas?
E&E was developed in 2010; Energize is the best energy formula according to current scientific consensus.

Why is Energize not fortified with Vitamins C & E (antioxidants)?
Concentrated levels of antioxidant vitamins like C & E impede adaptation if taken near a workout.

Why is adaptation to exercise important?
New exercise causes changes important to the progress of muscles, bones, and the cardiovascular system.

What causes the bright yellow color in Energize and Hydrate?
The ingredient quercetin (a natural phytonutrient present in fruits & vegetables) causes the yellow color.

What does the yellow color indicate?
Yellow indicates high purity & potency in quercetin; Beachbody uses the highest quality in the industry.

Is the beet sugar in Energize GMO-free?
PCR analysis testing by the supplier for the presence of GMO DNA showed no measurable GMO DNA.

Will Energize replace E&E? Will E&E be discontinued?
There are no current plans to discontinue E&E.

For information on the E&E pre-workout drink see New Energy and Endurance Drink

My part in your Success

Tammy and I are in Week 5 of P90X3 and today was Triometrics. One of the nice things I like about P90X3 is that I often do not remember what to expect. Even with Tony Horton giving his usually breaks as he chats between moves, it gave him a good sweat by the end.

Before a workout I often think of you. Some of you are succeeding and I really encourage you to send me a message about what you have accomplished. It would be of great encouragement to me. Yet some of you may have continued to put it off and to put it bluntly have fallen short of what you know you want for yourself. I really wish I had the perfect words to get you going again. I know all too well that it is not about me and you have to be ready for the change. While I do want to do all that I can for you, I am asking you to take the step and reach out.

I have been excited to see all the nutritional help Tammy (my wife) has been able to give to others through her Facebook page and encourage you to "friend" her and tell her Jay sent you. Our Facebook accounts are here: Jay and Tammy.

So I am asking for a Call to Action. If you are continuing to Reverse the Trend and have had positive changes in your life I want to hear about it. If you are still hesitating, you need to step out and contact me about how we can get you going. Lastly, if you are going strong or are ready to make a new commitment, here are this month's Team Beachbody specials below.

21 Day Fix Extreme is now available! Check out all of the February Specials in this video and choose the right one for you!

Is it worth the effort?

Pomegranates are an intriguing fruit. I probably have only had them six times in my life and yes it was always a struggle. Then I saw this video of a farmer cutting one open

Opening a Pomegranate (1:26 minute Video)

I thought, "I've been doing it all wrong, I'm ready to do this!" So since we had a pomegranate from our CSA box (Community Supported Agriculture), I set out to harvest the pomegranate fruit.

Well, the steps are shown below, it was a lot of work.

Harvesting the seeds

Run seeds through blender and mesh

It is full of vitamins and a whole food. but ...

I wanted to quit many times but I stuck through and I succeeded...I got pomegranate juice (less than a cup). Was it worth it for me? I'd have to say no. Will I do it again? probably not. (Side note: I saw additional methods that "whack" the pomegranate after opening it... yes I was ready to whack it at the end.)

Yet, the whole experience reminded me of how many people who buy a Beachbody fitness program might feel.

 They, for some time have been intrigued with fitness, but have struggled with getting it to work. Then they saw an ad of one of the Beachbody products (P90, P90X, Insanity, T25, PiYo, 21-day Fix or possible Brazil Butt lift.) The add made it look easy. So program was purchased. Unfortunately, many people do not see it through to the end. While I saw the pomegranate through to the end,  it wasn't worth it to me, I am convinced of and found that those like myself that commit to any of the Beachbody programs, all the way to the end, find it a worthwhile investment.

Have and follow a plan

This week our Focus T25 routine had Total Body Circuit ,twice, which is the hardest for me in the Alpha series. I would not have chose to do this routine twice in one week. And that is why I need a program to follow. As tough as I like to think I am, when it is up to me, I (while not always) would choose an easier way. How about you? Do you have a plan, a trainer that pushes you? How do you go beyond what you think you are able?

Here is a video (Happy Healthy Holidays!) about how to make a plan for the Holidays. So are you giving your fitness plan the best you can? Is it working? Give me your testimony, so that I can send it to the many others that would be encouraged with your efforts.

P90 - The ON switch for fitness.

I am excited to announce that Tony Horton's newest program, P90, will be released in September and I wanted you to be one of the first to know.

THIS IS NOT AN EXTREME WORKOUT LIKE P90X, P90X2 OR P90X3!

As a matter of fact, before any of those programs existed, Tony created a revolutionary weight loss and body transformation program that started it all - Power 90. Now featuring redesigned, cutting edge routines, welcome to Power 90 re-imagined ... the new P90!

Check out this video that explains it all. Simply click on the pic to start watching.




And check out these amazing P90 results.




Want to be one of the first to know when P90 is available?
Simply REPLY to this email and let me know. I'll keep you up-to-date on all the latest and let you know when you can be one of the first to get P90 in your hands.

Want to be one of the first to buy P90?
To get P90 immediately after its released, make sure you have a FREE Team Beachbody Membership. If you already have one, you are set! If not, simply CLICK HERE to get set-up in minutes, plus have access to all of the Team Beachbody products and benefits of our FREE Membership. And its FREE!

I just can't do that anymore

I spoke of resolutions and resolve in my last blog post (Resolve vs. Resolution). What about the word resignation? As we age the tendency is to give up and resign ourselves to some of the new patterns that are driven by some aches here and a little pain there. We say, "I just can't do that anymore." Am I expecting all those in their 40's and 50's to do Insanity? No, but we need to stay active doing something for out heart, lungs, muscles and skeletal frame work. Resignation is a slippery slope as we age. I desire to help as many people as possible with the "I can't" places they are experiencing.  Starting with even minor activity can begin to reverse the trend and you will soon be saying "I can do it!"

Men and Women of Purpose

Tammy and I have been talking a lot lately about our motivations and purposes for ourselves, our family and our customers.  We are both intense individuals driven by our desires. I was not always that way.  7 years ago I was on a path to resignation with back pain, low energy and a lack of commitment to my physical well being.  It took a P90X infomercial to wake me up and change my resignation to commitment and purpose.  My fitness commitment was the spark to more purposeful eating and living. We are looking to join with others for mutual accountability.  The link below will direct you to our recent video about our upcoming accountability groups.

Accountability for a Life of Purpose

What is PiYo?

PiYo is Beachbody's most recent fitness Program.  It is a low-impact program that uses your own body weight to build strength.  The program also includes cardio, stretching, yoga and pilates.  The creator of PiYo, Chalene Johnson, says that as we age we get less flexible and PiYo can help.  We will be doing PiYo in August and September after we complete a 3rd month of INSANITY.  If you think you want to give it a try purchase it this month for a deep discount.

Connect with us on Facebook & Instagram

To find out more about us look on social media.  Follow Tammy on Instagram for daily motivational posts and see Facebook for Tammy's weekly INSANITY tip videos.

Drinks: Recovery, Protein and Shakeology

For Pre-Workout Drink see New Energy and Endurance Drink



Recovery drinks, protein shakes, and Shakeology are all intended to serve different functions, and wouldn't ideally be used interchangeably.

Recovery drinks are simple-sugar based, and have (relatively) small amounts of fast-absorbing protein (like whey), typically in a ratio between 2:1 and 5:1 of carbs:protein. The P90X Results and Recovery Formula has a 4:1 ratio. They are intended to be taken after intense workouts (within 20 minutes), when the cells of the body are expanded and primed for nutrient replenishment. The simple sugars rush in and replenish your depleted glycogen stores, and also help to carry the protein where it needs to go to begin muscle synthesis. The only time you want to take this amount of simple sugar is immediately following an exhausting workout, when your body's fat storage protocol is in temporary shutdown. One other I have tried Endurox R4 Recovery Drink Mix.


Protein shakes are typically low in carbs and fat, and are intended to add supplemental protein to your diet. While some people use them immediately following workouts, recent research shows that this may not be the ideal application. Too much protein (i.e. upwards of 20 grams, which most protein shakes have) will slow the body's absorption of the nutrients, causing you to miss the 30-45 minute replenishment window that your body has post-workout. If you want to take a shake to up your protein intake during the day, by all means do so, I would just shift it from immediately post-workout to later in the day. We purchase our Naturally sweetened Whey Protein from Vitacost (here is my Refer a Friend Link to give you $10 off your order)

Shakeology is also supplemental in nature, as it's intended to add phytonutrients (plant concentrates) to your diet to increase the amount of vital nutrients you get from fruits and veggies.
It is not designed to be for post-workout, as it has a good amount of fiber and is relatively high in protein, both of which will slow absorption (just like a protein shake would). Look to Spotlighting some of the 70 ingredients in Shakeology for a more information. The Shakeology ingredients that target good digestive health are Flax seed meal, Schisandra Powder, Yacon Root and Chlorella (See Special Spot light on Chlorella ).
