Gator Mud Run 2015 - GoPro Hero4 Session Review

I bought the new GoPro Hero4 Session a few days ago and tested it at the Gator Mud Run in Waldo, FL. The event was hosted by the Trojan Race Series and was held at the Waldo Motorcross Park.

Gator Mud Run - 2015

First and foremost, I am a GoPro Enthusiast! If I am not recording my P90X workouts on my iPhone, I am religiously using my GoPros! I was a little hesitant at first to buy the new GoPro Hero4 Session because it is a little less quality than the Hero4 Black, but I decided to give it a shot.

Just a few differences between the Hero4 Session and the Hero4 Black:

-  The Session has a 8mp camera versus a 12mp that comes with the Hero4 Black
-  The Session is waterproof to 33' while the Hero4 Black can go to depths of 131'
-  The Session shoots high quality 1080 max, while the Hero4 Black goes up to 4K
-  The Session comes to you fully waterproof, while the Hero4 Black requires a waterproof casing
-  The big difference is the SIZE!

What I like most about the GoPro Hero4 Session:

-  Easy one button control. Turn it on, and it starts recording. When you stop recording, the camera automatically shuts off. This saves me so much battery life!
-  It's already waterproof and rugged, no casing required!
-  Can be used with existing accessories.
-  Dual mic system front and back. If the wind is blowing in the front, the camera automatically will begin using the rear mic....BRILLIANT!

Yes, you lose some quality, but it works well with what I'm using it for. I really have no need to shoot 4K, but I would definitely love the camera to shoot 12mp like the Hero4 Black, I think it eventually will. I'm happy with it, and I would definitely recommend it!

CIZE Workout Review

My CIZE Workout Review

I am on my 3rd week of the CIZE Online Challenge, and I must say that I am having a lot more fun than I thought I would. Most of the people who I spoke with who were participating in the CIZE Challenge were doing it as a fun way to workout and lose weight, but my goal was actually to get my rhythm back =)

CIZE - "You Got This" Routine

Click here to WATCH VIDEO!

I started with the CIZE Beginner Schedule which was really up my alley since I had a lot of work to do as far as coordination. I was very surprised how much these workouts make me SWEAT! I mean, the workouts that I normally do are P90X and Insanity type of workouts along with running, but the CIZE workouts are a whole new ball-game for me, and it's actually pretty challenging. Now if you are already a dancer, or someone who goes to Zumba every week, you might learn much quicker than I, so you may want to choose the ADVANCED schedule, but not me LOL =). I can see this workout program having new volumes and routines for years to come!

Since starting this CIZE challenge, I have had better coordination, and along with my other workouts, I am getting more lean which was another goal of mine.  I also love doing the workouts with my family, it makes for some good quality time and some hilarious moments to talk about for days!

Fueling Your Passion through Beachbody Coaching

Family - My Ultimate Passion

Carl Daikeler, the CEO of Beachbody once said "Beachbody shouldn't be your life, it should give you a life", and that is something that I live by every single day.

When I started coaching in late 2010, I would have never thought that this crazy little workout program called P90X would provide me with such an amazing and abundant life. My story is really no different than any other story you've seen uploaded on Youtube, or pinned on Pinterest, or whatever social media network that you use. But I can tell you this, I've always had deep passions ever since I can remember. I guess you can say that I was always a GOAL DIGGER.

My first P90X Transformation

I remember telling my mother growing up that I wanted to be a SUPER HERO, so that I could protect her from all the bad people in the world. I can recall telling my Dad that I was going to be a millionaire so that he didn't have to work as hard as he did. At an early age, taking care of my family was important to me. I remember talking to my brothers and sisters many years ago about chipping in to purchase a summer home to host our family reunions.

My passions in life are pretty simple, let me share them with you:

1. Family
2. Travel
3. Entrepreneurism
4. Health and Fitness
5. Faith

I can actually go on and on about what fuels me, but those are my TOP 5 PASSIONS in life. What are yours?

Adventure Travel - my extreme passion! 

I think that as we all get older, life just gets in the way of what we truly want out of life. We get so distracted by our jobs, boring activities, and stressful deadlines, that we forget about what matters most to us. This is exactly what happened to me. I was so busy trying to make a buck, that I totally forgot about my life. Do you relate?

Family Reunions is what always brings me back to my reality. I LOVE spending time with my family, it's what I enjoy the most, and this is when I encountered one of my defining moments. My brother gave me a set of P90X DVD's and I started a new chapter in my life. I began a health and fitness journey in late 2010, and I cannot begin to tell you how much of an impact it has done for me. Not only am I fitter than ever, but I am also financially free from a boss. What does that mean? Let me explain.

It all started with the Beachbody Challenge with me, I can help you! 

It seems like it was only a few years ago, but I dreadfully worked 3 jobs, 100 hours a week, and on top of that, I still barely made enough to pay my bills. I had broken relationships, drank all the time, and was not happy. I knew that I had to change something with my life if I wanted to change some things in my life. Becoming a Beachbody Coach has changed everything! I don't want to sound like I am bragging, but I actually feel like I am on vacation every single day because all I do is workout, spend time with family, and travel all the time. Again, I do not say this to brag, because it wasn't an easy task, it was hard work, but it was oh so worth it. And I know that if I can do it, then you can too!

- How would you like to fulfill all of your passions?
- How would you like the option of working your job instead of being required to work for someone?
- Does sleeping in sound good to you? Waking up when you want to, not with an alarm clock.
- How would you like to go on vacations and not worry about what's in your wallet?
- Imagine being able to donate a million dollars to your favorite charity or church?

The list goes on........

- How would you like to run obstacle course races or marathons around the world?
- What about the simple things in life like picking up your kids from school, or watching their ball games?
- What about taking your spouse to a nice dinner any time you want?
- How about buying your dream home in different countries around the world?
- How would you like to spend more time with the people who mean most to you, like your family and close friends?

Beachbody Coaching may seem like a business (and it is), but it's a business that you can do full or part-time to help you fuel your passions. If I could build this business working over 100 hours a week, then I know you can too, no matter what situation you're in! It took me a little over 2 years to make Beachbody Coaching my full time gig, and I know some of you may be thinking  "that's a long time!", but I'm sure that you would agree that it's a lot better than working for someone for 20-40 years of your life? Who wants to do that? I know that I didn't want to.

Working full time at my job, and part-time for my fortune. That's what I did when I first started, in fact, that's what most people do. But if you are passionate about what you are doing, having fun, and you would like to get more healthy and fit, while helping others, then guess what? This is the financial vehicle that you may be looking for.

Financial & Time Freedom 
begins with making a decision to WORK HARD FOR IT

Fueling your passion can be defined as doing something that you love while doing something you love. But here's the thing, most people have it all wrong. The average person fuels their passion by doing something that they don't like doing such as working a dead end job, working late hours all week for a couple days of freedom, only to go back the next week and do it all over again. Where's the fun in that? 

It doesn't have to be that way. If I told you that you can actually do something that makes you feel good about yourself while helping others, and that it could help you fulfill your PASSIONS, would you do it? I'm pretty sure that you would say YES. It's all about getting the right information from the right people. There are too many people out there talking smack about the things that they don't know anything about, you know what I'm talking about =)

Living the Nomadic Lifestyle as an Online Beachbody Coach

Some people say that they have had many lost opportunities, and if they have done this, or if they have done that, or if they "GOT IN" earlier etc. that they would be successful right now. That might be partially true, but what they fail to understand is that there are many more opportunities out there, and I would be happy to share one with you, but only if you are 100% ready to not make any excuses to pursue your passion. I'm talking about having an "ALL IN" mind set.

Are you serious about making big changes in your life. Are you goals really important to you? If you are ready to FUEL YOUR PASSION, then it first starts with moving forward and making a DECISION to make it happen. Are you a talker, or are you a DOER? These are all questions that we must all ask ourselves when making big life decisions. But that's it....in order to live the good life, you must first learn to LIVE THE GOOD LIFE!

If you are ready to find out how you can fuel your passion through Beachbody Coaching, then feel free to message me here, looking forward to hearing from you soon! =)

UNSUCCESSFUL vs. SUCCESSFUL People

Habits of UNSUCCESSFUL and SUCCESSFUL people

Obviously, everyone may have a different opinion on what the meaning of SUCCESS is. Whether success is monetary or non-monetary to you, it boils down to just plain habits. That's what really makes the difference between what unsuccessful and successful people do.

Here are some habits of UNSUCCESSFUL people:
- Think they know it all
- Try to bring others down to their level
- Stop learning
- Think, say, and do negative things
- Have a sense of entitlement
- Always angry on others
- Don't know what they want to be
- Take the easy way out
- Never set goals
- Criticize
- Waste their time
- Give up easily
- Fear change
- Act before they think
- Talk more than they listen
- Blame others
- Hold a grudge
- Secretly hope others fail
- Get distracted everyday

Here are some habits of SUCCESSFUL people:
- Track progress
- Learn from mistakes
- Spend time with the right people
- Maintain proper balance in life
- Write down goals and targets
- Think long term
- Compliment others
- Make to-do lists
- Know purpose and mission
- Want others to succeed
- Accept responsibility for their failure
- Work with passion and commitment
- Learn, improve and read everyday
- Take risks
- Handle problems well
- Being humble
- Share information and data
- Exude joy
- Forgive others
- Embrace change

Chances of SUCCESS:
- I did (100%)
- I am (90%)
- I can (80%)
- I think I can (70%)
- I might (60%)
- I think I might (50%)
- I want to (40%)
- I wish I could (30%)
- I don't know how (20%)
- I can't (10%)
- I won't (0%)

Spend time with the right people

What are your chances for success? How big are your goals? How important is it for you to make your dreams become a reality? And last but not least, when do you want to start?

I connected with a group of people back in 2010, and I am happy to say that this amazing group introduced me to a life that I never thought would ever be possible for me. I am now more happier, healthier, and more active. On top of that, it is this very lifestyle that has brought me true wealth. I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about FREEDOM.

I was once unsuccessful, but now I can honestly say that I am successful in more ways than one. But as with any successful person would say, it's truly not about me, it's about the people who helped me. I have a passion for helping people learn how to live more happy, healthy and wealthy. Do you dream of a better life for you and your family? Do you feel that you deserve more out of life? I know you do! Feel free to connect with me, I'd love to meet you =)

It minimizes the risk that a dietary supplement or sports nutrition product contains banned substances when taken at the recommended serving size. 

Specifically, this certification verifies that:

The product does not contain any of the 180+ substances banned by major athletic organizations

The contents of the supplements match what is displayed on the label

There are no unsafe levels of contaminants in the tested product

The product is manufactured in a facility audited by the NSF for both quality and safety

What is the Beachbody Performance Line?

*NSF has tested and certified that these products contain the identity and quantity of dietary ingredients declared on the product label, and that these products do not contain known banned substances. NSF certification, however, is limited to the specific serving size on the label, and consumption in excess of that serving size is not part of the certification.

How Beachbody Coaches are NOT selling you!

Okay, obviously I cannot speak for all Beachbody Coaches, but I can tell you how I operate my coaching business, as well as how my team works.

Before I start talking about how Beachbody Coaches are not trying to sell you, I have to mention to you that most coaches first started out as customers. And through consistency, hard work and dedication, they achieved success both physically, mentally, and financially. It's a lot different than someone who just graduated from college and found a job in sales and marketing. Think about it, most people who are in marketing and sales (or any industry because every company sells something) had to learn about their product or service that they are selling. They did not use the product or service before they starting sharing it with people, they were hired with a company, and slowly began learning how to market their product. Some of these people don't even believe in what they are doing!  If it puts food on their table, they will do what it takes to sell. This is why you see so many people who are depressed and miserable about their current job situation. It's pretty sad if you ask me (I've been there), but the cool thing is that you can change that. It doesn't have to be that way.

TOP 7 Reasons NOT to become a Beachbody Coach

I have met so many athletes, specifically in the obstacle course racing arena who endorse certain supplements, and they claim that it has done wonders for them, and that they have been training with these products for "X" amount of years, and it's totally false. A lot of these athletes were already in peak condition way before they started endorsing some of these products, and most of these products weren't even around when they were just starting out. A company simply just offered to sponsor them, gave them free products and all they have to do is help promote the stuff. Is that really being a product of the product? Now that's "salesy" to me. They post promo codes and post all kinds of photos about how great these products are, even when they have only just started using the product. Now I'm not saying that the products are not good, heck I've tried all kinds of supplements from a lot of companies, but I would never say that they changed my life, and that I've been using them for years even though I haven't.

I am a Beachbody Coach because I believe in the products. I would never promote something that I have not done, or believe in. I have graduated from almost every fitness program line that the company offers. I have been drinking Shakeology and working out with Beachbody fitness workouts since 2010, so I know from experience that it works. I share my journey and lifestyle with people because that is how these products have transformed me. I am not getting paid to endorse anything, I am earning a living from simply being a product of the product. And for the record, I am not in THIS THING to make a quick buck (this is not a trend) or to get FREE stuff, it truly is my life. It's my passion.

Get Shakeology Samples Here!

Here are some examples of what people do everyday because they believe in what they do, and it's totally organic and raw, but they do not earn any income from it. Now I don't want you to think that it's all about money for me, BECAUSE IT ISN'T, but most people would agree that it just makes sense to make a living while doing something that you are passionate about? Is there anything wrong with that? I honestly do not think so. Below are some examples of how people are sharing their passions with others, which is a form of selling (word of mouth marketing) whether they know this or not.

"Oh man, I just finished my first Spartan Race, and it was totally awesome, you have to seriously do one!!"

I've done this many times because I love obstacle course racing and the community it provides. But the only people who are making a living from it is the company, not the athletes. Yes, some athletes are sponsored, but that's different. Spartan Race does not give a piece of the company to the athletes. The company earns all the profits while the athletes and participants continue to help build the dreams of Joe DeSena. Some elite athletes say they don't care about the money, but trust me they do, that's why they are running the races who offer PHAT paychecks for hitting the podium, otherwise why don't they just do a Tough Mudder, and time it themselves with no one watching them? We are humans, we are reward oriented, and elite athletes want to be rewarded for their hard work, as they should!

SO WHO'S SELLING WHO?

"Dang, I just saw the BEST movie ever, I highly recommend that you watch it!" 

We've all done this! We have all watched an awesome movie and told people about it, it's just a natural thing to do, but again, we are selling through word-of-mouth marketing. If a person watches 5 movies per week (home or theater) then this person would have watched roughly 14,400 movies by the age of 60. That's a lot of movies, and guess what, all of the profits go to the production and entertainment companies, we movie watchers do not get a dime!

SO WHO'S SELLING WHO?

"I just took my girlfriend to this fancy restaurant, and the food was absolutely amazing, you have to take your wife there!"

Yup, I have done this too! If there is one thing that I love doing, it's restaurant-hopping, especially the fancy ones because I love fine dining. I went to Chef School =). But again, we fill our tummies up with all of these fine foods, and who reaps all the profits? The restauranteurs!

SO WHO'S SELLING WHO?

"I just went to the most amazing gym! They had a pool, a Crossfit den, group fitness classes, you name it, you have to check it out!"

Yup, been there too! I used to Crossfit and love it, and honestly, I still go to the gym. It's not that there is anything wrong with it, I actually would rather do my P90X workouts at the gym anyways. But here's the thing, the gym and box owners take all the profits, while you are doing all the selling (sharing your posts on Facebook about working out etc). You might think well, I go to the gym to workout, not to make money! Well, good for you, but guess what? I go to the gym and also make money =) If you go to the gym or box, then for the most part, it's part of your life. It makes you feel good right? Well imagine doing that, and making a living with it! It can happen, and you don't need a 6/7 figure investment.

SO WHO'S SELLING WHO?

So as you can see, these are some pretty good examples of what we do every day. We are selling ALL DAY.....well, we're really just SHARING our experiences with people. And that is all I do as a Beachbody Coach, sharing my passion! So the next time a Beachbody Coach is sharing something with you, just know that it's NOT about selling you, it's about helping you become better inside and out. I am truly blessed to be affiliated with a company who compensates me for my passion, I just never thought it was even possible! Spartan Race will always give me a good experience, just like a movie will always entertain me, but they will never be able to help me create a real future for me and my family and that is where my priority lies.

If you hate selling as much as I do, and you would like to learn how to turn your passion for health and fitness into a huge online business, then feel free to contact me here, I look forward to meeting you! =)

5 Ways Beachbody Mentally Transformed my Life

I am happier than ever! 

When you think about a Beachbody Fitness Transformation, most people are always looking on the outside, and we tend to forget that there is a lot of things going on inside as well. Here's an example, one day I was shopping at a local Whole Foods market and someone noticed my P90X shirt.  This shopper proceeded to ask me if I finished the program, I said yes. He then said, let me see those ABS!

This actually happens a lot, and I totally get it. People are visual, and they want to see physical results. But it's not really all about that. There are a lot of people who I coach who have had great results on the inside, and are not even half way done with their physical results. And here's the thing, I don't think anyone is ever really 100% finished with their transformation, mental or physical, because we all have the opportunity to always better ourselves, would you agree?

Going through a health and fitness transformation journey is tough. There are a lot of things to think about such as, "Wow, this is hard! Do I really want to be doing this?". Or, "I just worked 14 hours today, I'm tired, maybe this workout thing is just not for me!".  I could've used any and every excuse in the book to not get the results that I achieved when I completed the P90X Challenge back in 2010, but what kept me going was my daughter. I was not only doing it for me, I wanted to be healthy and fit for my daughter so that I can live long enough to see her live a wonderful life. I was also sick of feeling miserable, I just wanted to be happy! Anyone relate?

My P90X Transformation

It's all mental.

I have participated in some hardcore endurance races that have really tested my physical abilities, but more than that, also my mental grit. It is the mental grit that makes a difference whether you give up or not, because the bottom line is that you may feel that you can't run or do that extra rep, or if you are a Beachbody Coach, you may have struggles with inviting people to a challenge, but if you focus, and get your mind right, you'll be surprised on what you can achieve. Did you know that the strongest muscle in your body is your brain? Yup, so train it right, and you will get amazing results!

Here are 5 Ways Beachbody has "Mentally" Transformed my Life:

1.  Better Food Choices - Without the discipline of making proper food choices, I would not be able to see the results that I acheived. Shakeology has curved my cravings for junk foods, and has helped me open my palate to a better world of clean eating. Instead of eating for pleasure these days, I have learned to eat in order to fuel my active lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I love to splurge every now and again, but the Beachbody Lifestyle has taught me that moderation is key, and I would definitely take running up a mountain with my daughter over a piece of chocolate cake any day!

2.  Understanding My Limitations - Overtraining was something that happened a lot when I first began my health and fitness journey. I wanted fast results, so I worked out hard and unfortunately was not focused on proper form. During my challenge, I learned that it is more about quality, and not quantity. I learned to listen to my body, set aside my EGO, and use modifications when the moves began to get a little tough. I was able to get better results by pacing myself through the program, and just showing up. It was all about doing my best, and forgetting the rest, and this is what I encourage all of my new challengers and coaches on my team to do in our online private accountability groups.

3.  More Energy - With proper nutrition, consistent workouts, and learning how to humble myself with smart rest and recovery, I have gained so much energy. It feels good to be able to play a full game of soccer with my nephews and not get winded, especially at the age of 44. Don't be that person that says "I'm too old to do that", be the person that says "Is that all you got?" =) Because age is truly just a number.

4.  Happiness - I cannot begin to tell you how much happiness I now have because of working out and eating healthy. I used to think that the only way for me to be happy and forget about my daily stress was to grab a drink at the bar with my so-called friends. The Beachbody lifestyle has changed my whole outlook on life, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. "I don't want to be happy" ~ Says No One Ever! =)

5.  Ability to Lead - Most people do not know this, but I am 100% introverted. I do not enjoy big crowds. I don't handle stress very well. I have no interest in being on stage! I'm not a fan of recognition. And I just don't like socializing! ------> That was how I used to be. Oh, I still consider myself an introvert, but I have taught myself through consistent PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT to mesh and do what it takes to achieve my goals, and it has proved to be the right decision for me. Getting out of my comfort zone has always been tough for me, but the one thing that I can say helps me with that, is the fact that I have a loving daughter that needs my support. I have a family that I love and want to do a million things with. I have a coach team who looks up to me. I want to travel and see the world. I want to be a missionary and help the global community in a meaningful way. I never imagined that one day I would be leading my own coach team, and creating leaders, but it just happened. That is how a simple Beachbody transformation can literally change your life, physically and mentally.

So at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, I force myself to get uncomfortable. Life is too short not to live your life, and I plan to make the rest of my life, the best of my life!

Thank you Beachbody =)
