What's On My Facebook?

My Coach Page

I've visited Boston a few times, and it is one of my all time FAVORITE historical cities to visit in the USA. Lot's of American Past-Times, and unless you were born under a rock, most of the world knows that FACEBOOK was founded just a hop, skip, and a jump away in neighboring Cambridge, MA at the prestigious Harvard University. What a brilliant dude, that Mark Zuckerburg!

Kirkland House - Harvard University

Where Facebook was born

I took my family to Cambridge last year, and I gave them a little tour of the campus. Just walking around, and bumping into SMART ASS (no really, they're pretty smart ha ha) students, who some of them may one day create "million to billion dollar enterprises", it just mesmerizes me.

My family and I ate at Mr. Bartley's near Harvard Square, it's a cash-only local burger joint with entree names originating from unique Instagram hash tags, pretty cool! This place is definitely a "must-eat" place if you are taking a break from your health, nutrition and fitness regime =) That's why I was there, I was taking a break LOL.

Ok, I might've gone a little overboard on my burger =)

As my tattooed server whipped around the corner to serve me my big fat burger, I was already planning to take a photo to share on my Facebook. As I was trying to take this gastronomic photo of this MASSIVE creation of awesome sauce, I was also multi-tasking and being strategic on what my caption would be before actually posting it for the whole world to see! Wait a minute....should I even be sharing this on my Facebook timeline as a Beachbody Coach...I mean, aren't I an online fitness coach? Well, YES I AM =)

What might my friends and customers think of me? Will I be labeled as some sort of hypocrite for promoting a healthy and fit lifestyle, while posting a gigantic burger similar to the size of the TITANIC?!?!

Wait it minute, it's my Facebook page, and this is how I relate to people. I am not PERFECT, and neither do I represent myself as someone who doesn't make mistakes (or cheats on a meal every once in awhile). This is what I was thinking about when I was portraying myself as an iPhone Food-Spotting paparazzi guy, and asking THEE question......should I post this or not?

NEVER, NEVER POST NEGATIVITY, ONLY RELATABILITY 

I can't really remember what I decided to do, but as someone who has built a small fitness-related internet company primarily through social media and Facebook, it's sometimes difficult to know what to post, and what not to post, all of this... from a business stand point, and protecting a brand.

If you do not own a business, then you probably won't even understand where I am coming from, let alone care about what I'm even talking about, and that's ok too =)  I mean, if I didn't have an online business, my Facebook page would probably be a lot more private and only open to close friends and family. It took me awhile to open my life with people online. I'm naturally a very private person, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of you could relate, BUT  "get this"... anyone who has a business, with the intentions of being successful, it is almost a requirement to incorporate Facebook/social media into everyday business marketing strategies. Am I right?

Get FIT with Facebook

As I started learning more about social media, and the power behind running a business using Facebook, things began to open up for me, but now it was all about juggling groups, LIKE pages, and those annoying group chats, I absolutely hate those group chats, stop adding me please =).

GETTING TO THE POINT
Since building my brand as a Beachbody Coach and Online Entrepreneur, I have grown from managing my main profile page to multiple Facebook pages. It was MASS CONFUSION in the beginning because I didn't know where to post certain things, when to post, and how to post. Again, this is from a business standpoint with emphasis on building a brand built based on integrity, and long term success.

I have since been able to learn how to categorize my pages and target the posts to each specific niche. So right now, you're probably really confused, sorry about that, no not really sorry, I had to learn all of this too =)

BUT HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON MY FACEBOOK:

- MAIN FACEBOOK PAGE, this is as personal as I get on social media. On my main profile page, I share the five things that I am very passionate about: family, fitness, entrepreneurship, obstacle racing, and travel. This is the BEST place to get to know me, other than coming to one of my family reunions or coach retreats. If you ever do come to one of those, I promise that you can try some of my parents authentic filipino cuisine, that's only if my Mom likes you =).

Within those 5 passions, I narrow it down even more to just Family, Beachbody health and fitness, and Travel.

- MAIN COACH PAGE, this is where I mostly share my health, fitness, and wealth-building related posts, as well as some motivational and inspirational quotes. If you want more of this type of content, I highly encourage you to follow my blog here since that is the main source for the shares on this page.

- OCRTUBE MEDIA PROJECT, this is about 100% obstacle course racing. This page is dedicated to my cause-related media project, making a difference, and also where I share other content from other reputable sources within the obstacle racing industry.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT

If you connected with me for reasons such as P90X, Obstacle Racing, or Travel....then now you know where that content will be readily available. Either way, it's great to meet all of you, and hope to see you somewhere around the world!

Getting Fit with Facebook

I know what some of you may be thinking right now, "how in the heck can facebook get me fit?" Well, you're not the only one =) I was pretty oblivious to the concept, but after about 4 years of learning the in's and out's of this social network according to health and fitness, I have accomplished more than I've ever thought possible, and to think that Facebook started from a small college dormitory at Harvard University.

So facebook is definitely not a gym, BUT for most people, it's a "connecter" of people. The brilliant online platform brings people together from all over the world.  It doesn't matter if you're from Nepal, or if you workout or not, if you're a Doctor, or a Personal Trainer......facebook has changed the way we communicate and network with each other.

So how does this tie into getting fit? I'm glad you asked, here is how you can GET FIT WITH FACEBOOK:

-  FITSPIRATION,  "Fitness Inspiration" comes in all shapes, colors and sizes. Most of us, or at least the ones who will admit it, we all follow certain people on Facebook who either motivate or inspire us. I know I have a good handful of people who I follow because they always have some amazing, positive posts. Sometimes when I just don't feel like working out, or I'm having a bad day, these people motivate me to get off my ass up and go to work. Facebook is totally mobile-friendly too, so you can get inspired anywhere! Here's a suggestion that may help you with getting more fitness and positive inspiration.....get rid of the toxic people in your network! You don't need it in your life. The more inspiration you get, it is more likely that you will be motivated to hit the gym, or kill a workout at home.

-  ACCOUNTABILITY,  This is a big one! We all know that if we don't have anyone to keep us accountable to our health and fitness goals, then eventually we will fall off the wagon, I've been there! Facebook has many fitness support groups specific to certain areas such as: Crossfit, Obstacle Racing, P90X, Paleo, Yoga, Clean Eating...you name it, there is an accountability group out there. The cool thing about this is that, it's all FREE! If you are not into accountability groups, then I would highly recommend that you simply choose an accountability partner from your network. This person should know exactly what your goals are, and you should know his/hers too. It's all about supporting each other 100%. The idea is to stay connected and post messages to each others timelines or direct messages every week to make sure that each of you are staying on point to your fitness goals. Set some workout days together (online or offline workouts), trade clean eating recipes, and maybe start a challenge together!

-  CHALLENGE GROUPS,  This is not just about accountability, it's more about challenges and real results. Facebook Challenge Groups gives you an opportunity to meet other people who have similar interests as you. Fitness Challenge Groups are all the rage right now on Facebook. No gym, no worries. A Fitness Challenge Group can give you the same camaraderie, motivation, and of course accountability that you can find in any gym environment. There are video chats, and even online workouts! I know that when I did P90X for the first time, I would not have been able to stay motivated if I didn't have an online challenge group of people motivating me and keeping me on point. Unlike some free accountability groups, the challenge groups sometimes require a small investment. Regardless, the challenge is real, and it is set up to get you the best results possible because of the amount of commitment that is there versus a group that is just free. Whenever there is money on the line, that's when people take their health and fitness a lot more seriously.

-  CONNECTIVITY,  Facebook is all about networking and staying in touch. Connecting with people is as easy as saying, "hey, are you on Facebook, let's connect!". I've done this many times! It doesn't matter if you are at your kids soccer game, a obstacle race, the gym, or traveling....facebook is there to help you stay connected with the people that you meet. So the next time you meet someone who inspires you, motivates you, and is just a downright positive person, then I highly recommend that you connect with that person on Facebook, because the more positive you have in your life, the better your life will be, and that is important to get the motivation that you need to live a healthy and fit lifestyle.

-  INTEGRATED APPS, There are a lot of fitness apps out there that you can integrate with Facebook such as Nike Run, Runkeeper, and more. The cool thing about these apps is that when you synch it with Facebook, your friends can LIKE it, and depending on the app, it will motivate you with notifications such as clap or hoorah while you are running or training. Just another way Facebook can get you fitness motivated, and inspired to keep going.

So there you have it! Facebook is not just for gossip, drama, and non-productivity. Facebook can be used to your benefit and can really help with your health and fitness goals, it's all about connecting with the right people.
