"Phone Mommy... Carl somebody"

The week of October first has been dedicated as "OctoberFit" by the crew at Million Dollar Body. And with that in mind, I am intending to get on the phone and talk to customers, coaches and prospects for almost the entire week.

I know it's not as easy for people who don't live the Beachbody message every day to articulate it as it is for me. So for the entire week we're setting up two to four-person conference calls where I'm speaking directly to prospects. And in those calls I expect to describe how our community completely transcends what you expect when you hear the letters, "M. L. M."

Our network of coaches is about inspiring people through our own personal behavior -- "walking the talk" by staying active and eating right. We don't just sell pills and powders, we promote healthy living by showing it's possible. And our network supports our customers so they get the best results from the products and club they've purchased. The reason no other network has ever achieved success in fitness is no other network was founded by a group of people who had already succeeded by working out before. And our network of coaches is about motivating more people to spread the word, that exercise and eating right is not optional. That's how we motivate friends, family members, and kids that this is the way to get more out of life.

Our network of coaches is turning around the trend of obesity by BEING the solution, and that's helping them get lean, ripped, and healthy while they help others do the same. And that's why next week I'm getting on the phones to help our coaches spread the word.

If you're a coach and wold like to schedule a call, send an email (with some information about who you will have on the call so we can have a productive conversation) to OctoberFit@millionDollarBody.com and the OctoberFit team will see what call times are still left!

Looks Like "Ouchie"

You can definitely "feel" the plus in P90X+ in these two sneak peeks. The first move is the Fly Blaster and the second is the Push-Up Crunch. Both were designed to attack multiple body parts at one time, with an extra emphasis on the core.

You're gonna want to try the Push-Up Crunch as soon as you see it. But the look on Traci's face at the end of the Fly Blaster looks like "ouchie". Check 'em out! All 5 new DVD's should be available in December 2007!

Another P90X+ Sneak Peek

Two more peeks at the work in progress on P90X+. The Hindu Pike Push-up, and the L Pull-up!

And while you enjoy the angst of anticipation for the most intense workouts on the planet, relax in the satisfaction of knowing that we finally have additional inventory of Tony's Power Stands!

You'll Hate It So Much You'll Love It

I've gotten a lot of requests for information about the 5 new P90X+ routines we just shot.

Production was kind enough to send me some clips of the new moves which I'll post over the next few weeks while Jason Scheff (from the band Chicago) finishes the scoring and Mason Bendewald adds the detailed fitness cues.

Perfection takes time. We're looking at December 2007. But these routines are so intense that they will be just what you want to get reinvigorated with the New Year. Add the Bowflex Selectechs to P90X and P90X+ and you've got the most extreme home gym in the neighborhood!

Here's a peek in the meantime. BRING THIS!

TV, In Da Club

As promised, Beachbody's MDB Club has some great new features for members, plus the Million Dollar Body game just got a lot more interesting to track!

The programming team within MDB added trainer tips and cooking segments to the club. Now you can submit specific questions to the trainers and they can answer them with a true demonstration. What is the right way to throw a punch in a workout? How do you swing your leg through to runner's pose? What does "intensity" look like? How do you do a squat?

Danny Teeson adds his culinary expertise in the new ThinKitchen segments, where we launch our very own cooking shows to help you shop, cook, and eat in a way that supports your Beachbody goals. You don't have to eat fake, salty, mail order diet food when Danny's in the kitchen! The team even created a "Takeaway Tips" button so you can download the information to replicate the recipe easily. Great stuff!

And if you want to really see how the Million Dollar Body Game is stacking up with just three months of qualifiers left, within the game showcase there is a button to see the winners' progress as they compete for the $250,000 grand prizes!

As video and the internet converge, Beachbody and Million Dollar Body will be your channel for video motivation, information and entertainment all focused on living a healthier lifestyle. The point here is, it's a lot easier to make healthy choices when health is present in your mind. "You are what you think about". That's another of the benefits of being a coach. When you get a weekly check from Million Dollar Body, the concept of living a healthy lifestyle occupies a larger share of your mind, which makes healthy decisions easier, if not automatic.

So enjoy the videos in the club! This is TV that's good for you!
