P90X does it again!























Here's the story of Without a Trace's Poppy Montgomery, as seen in People Magazine. I love it when stars, who can have anything given to them with a phone call, see P90X on TV and buy it for themselves. There's proof it's the real deal, and that there are no freebies! Everybody has to work for it!

Poppy Montgomery was always open about the 70-pound weight gain that occurred during her pregnancy last year with son Jackson Phillip Deveraux, now 10 ½ months old. "I ate with no guilt!" the Without a Trace star tells PEOPLE. "I loved every second of gaining that weight. All that food made me so happy!"

Though giving in to cravings for avocados or Häagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream was fun, Poppy, 36, knew that she'd have to return to camera-ready form eventually. So three weeks after giving birth to Jackson, the actress signed up for meal-delivery service Sunfare, which restricted her diet to 1,200 calories per day. She exercised at home six days per week using the P90X total-body workout DVD program, and by this past September, she was back in her size 27 jeans. "All the hard work paid off," she shares. "It was hard, but worth it."

Jackson, whom Poppy describes as the "happiest baby ever" is the first child for the actress and her boyfriend, actor Adam Kaufman. Poppy's show, Without a Trace, airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on CBS.

Collector's Alert: A Beachbody First!

While subscribers are receiving Tony Horton's 1-on-1 this month, his soft and fluffy “Upper Body Massacre”, the biggest 1-on-1 anticipation is building for next month’s issue: “The Fountain Of Youth”

Tony put together an incredible hour of yoga, exclusively for the 1-on-1 program, and I think it’s one of his best DVD’s in the first volume.




But that's not what the hubbub is about... That disc will be shipped with another DVD, a first-of-its-kind Beachbody collector’s special for the holidays! Remember how the Beatles used to put out a special holiday message record for fans and collectors? That’s what this is, but Tony is the Beatles, and a little light-hearted fitness is the message.)

“Holiday Horton” and his two little helpers are shooting a special holiday-themed Ten Minute Trainer workout for December 1-on-1 subscribers only! It won’t be available for sale separately. It won’t be available after December. It will be shipped with the December “Fountain of Youth” yoga 1-on-1 shipment to subscribers.

So if you're a subscriber and you enjoy a little exclusivity, you'll love this holiday special.

Until then, enjoy the Upper Body Massacre (if that’s possible) and get ready for one of the most exciting months in the 1-on-1 series!

Lazyman's Loophole

I have been trying to get my morning workouts going since Danny was born and sleep routines got all crazy... I think I found the loophole which worked for me this morning!


Since we got back the hour of sleep Saturday night, my body clock is still on daylight savings time. That means I have what it takes to workout at 5AM -- which feels like 6AM!



I've got one in the bag, so I am going for another Tuesday morning. If you can make it, I'll see you there!

Plan for New Years, NOW!

This post is about you taking "just enough" action to become a coach and making sure that you are part of the revolution as a coach who can get fit and earn; not just a spectator watching everyone else.

For some, becoming a Beachbody Coach can look intimidating. They are the people that usually watch opportunity pass them by. They cruise around social networking sites and see a ton of other coaches milling around the same groups and think that it's going to be hard to compete in a crowded marketplace.

First - it just isn't crowded. Second - You won't find out unless you sign up and see that it only takes a little effort to see things start to happen.

Right now we have less than 14,000 coaches - great number in some respects, but merely a drop in the ocean of opportunity. There are hundreds of millions of people in this country. You can connect with many of them every day in so many ways. Hundreds of millions of people, and less than 2% of them have ever bought a Beachbody product.

But ALMOST ALL of them will justify over-indulging from now until New Years thinking they will start working out January second. "I'll start right after New Years"... (That's a familiar voice!)

Every year, this is the dance. And every year, this is the opportunity.

As a coach, your job is to stake your claim to that opportunity now - maybe not to make a million dollars a year, but maybe to simply get your share: If someone you know is going to buy a Beachbody product in 2009, they need to know that you are a distributor so they come to you to pick the right program and get the best results.

Tell people you are going to do P90X. Tell hem you love Turbo Jam. Tell them when ChaLEAN Extreme launches, you are going to kick it off with a group of people for a three month boot camp. Create the enthusiasm so people have something to commit to this January -- YOU!

But they won't know unless you ARE a coach, and unless you tell them that WHEN they are ready, you have the solution. THAT'S HOW YOU ARE A FORCE OF CHANGE - by increasing the decibel level of how easy it can be to get started and succeed! And then simply being there to help them get started!

It's as easy as reposting blogs like this on MySpace or Facebook. Give it your own flavor and add your coach web store address, but the message is worth repeating from one friend to another until it shows up on every profile on the Internet: These products work, and together we are the best source for success through peer support and motivation!

We priced this coaching concept low so as many people as possible would get involved and get the word out - not just about Beachbody, but about how this trend of obesity and all these health issues can be solved by supporting each other!

Get involved. Stake your claim. And let's build the momentum of the Beachbody Revolution together!

The Cost of Diabetes

This article about the costs of diabetes was forwarded to me by Edward in Ops.

Here's the section that made me sit up in my chair:

Nearly 24 million Americans, 8 percent of the population, have Type 2 diabetes, which can lead to kidney failure, blindness and heart disease.

Current guidelines say doctors should prescribe metformin (about $30 a month) to lower blood sugar in newly diagnosed patients and urge them to eat healthy food and get more exercise. Other drugs can be added later, on top of metformin, to help patients who don't meet blood sugar goals. The updated guidelines don't include Avandia, which costs about $225 a month.

Dr. Susan Spratt, an endocrinologist at Duke University Medical Center, said she prescribes whatever it takes to lower her patients' future risk of blindness and amputations. That can mean coupling more costly drugs with metformin to hit blood sugar goals.

Ok... $225 for patients "who don't meet blood sugar goals"... to lower risks of blindness and amputation. Seems worth $2,700 a year. So does some change to diet and exercise.

For $99.95 - one time - Kathy Smith's Project You for Type 2 will help someone "meet their blood sugar goals" with exercise and diet. The American Diabetes Association saw the need for this type of product, and co-produced the program with Beachbody.

If you are a coach, this should make it difficult to sleep. Be relentless about getting the word out about this. RELENTLESS. People you know have diabetes. Or there are people you know who know people who have diabetes. Their are education groups. There are doctors. THEY ALL NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE SOLUTION, CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ADA!

This is the ONLY product of its kind on the market. We could give every diabetic in the country this program for $2.5 Billion - one time - versus the $12.5 Billion spent on drugs in 2007 alone! People can save $10 Billion -- $2,700 a year for each person who uses lifestyle change with this program to avoid stepping up to Avandia.

It's amazing to me that we are in this position, but lifestyle change really is that hard. That's what is so powerful about the effect of peer support; friends helping friends. That's how change happens. That's why you are the solution! Let's help some people!

Need a Job?

While things get harder for so many people, still Beachbody coaches are thriving.

Today's headlines are telling: Chrysler Cuts 25% of White Collar Jobs, Goldman Sachs cutting 10% of workforce, Yahoo firing 1,500 workers.

How deep will job cuts get? We hit 6% unemployment in September. In the downturn of 1973 we got up to 9%. Total employment in the U.S. is about 144 million people. That means if unemployment rise another 3%, another 4.3 million people could be out of work. Brutal.

With the financial meltdown and layoffs/unemployment, people are saving money, and they need to find ways to make money.

Beachbody and its coaches are in the perfect position to help people who are currently spending an average $741 per year on dues (before parking, gas, clothes, trainer, etc.) That $18B gym club business is antiquated. Everyday someone signs up to be a Beachbody coach, it's as if they created their own health club in their family room for less than $200. That's the future, and the future is here.

Between our infomercial sales, $90MM in advertising, and 13,000+ distributors, how many people can we get to replace their gym dues with a solution to get results like the NFL cheerleader (below) got with P90X? And how many more people who never set foot in a gym will get started with programs that make it easy, like Slim in 6, Yoga Booty Ballet, or or Ten Minute Trainer?

Get the word out. Every time Beachbody airs a commercial we generate thousands of customers. But hundreds of thousands more see the ads and become prospective customers. That's opportunity for income for you and everyone you know. You get the word out to people you know and people buy from you. It's a home based business where we do the advertising, you just make sure people know you're a distributor. Every 40 sales of P90X makes you over $1,000 in commissions, not including bonuses, and saves your customers hundreds of dollars a year in gym dues.

Sign up today, and use the tools in the coach-back-office to email everyone you know that if they want to lose weight, you can get them solutions like P90X for 10% less money if they join the club, and even less if they become a coach (25% off).

Beachbody saves people money, makes people money, and gets you better results for less money and in less time than the gym. No boss. No employees. Set your own hours. What are you waiting for?

The P90X Cheerleaders

We're all aware that NFL players are using P90X to train, but now it appears that the ladies on the sidelines could step in and knock some heads if need be.



Jon Congdon got this signed 49ers Cheerleaders calendar, which features X-grad Amber on the cover (shot, as it turns out, on "Day 91" of her P90X journey)

Help me out here... Why are people still paying for gym memberships when you can get these kinds of results at home?

What's That Distant Sound?

"Cha-ching"

That's the Beachbody cash register ringing, off in the distance, every time one of your friends or contacts sees one of our shows on TV and orders the product direct from us, instead of from you as a coach.

"Cha-ching."

There goes another one of your contacts, buying from Beachbody, and another $20 commission that leaked out of your contact list.

How do you stop that leak, and turn those sales into your own loud, "Cha-ching"?

My suggestion is that you dust off your contact list today and send out emails, MySpace and Facebook bulletins and you get on the phone to talk to people; and say three important things:

(1) I am now getting in shape and helping people I know do the same as a Beachbody Coach, and my website is TeamBeachbody.com/________

(2) The next time you think about losing weight or you see a Beachbody product that you'd be interested in trying, please let me know so I can show you how to get the lowest price and get the fastest results.

(3) If you decide that you want to earn extra money like I am doing and help others, I can show you how easy it is to be a coach and we can build an income together!

"Cha-ching." "Cha-ching." "Cha-ching." P90X must be playing on CNBC. More of your friends are ordering - not from you.

I want them to order from you because you will help them get started and get the best results. You need to tell them those simple three things!

I know our fitness programs will get them in great shape. And if weight loss is the goal, you can show them how our Meal Replacement Shake is the best value and highest quality on the market compared to the awful cheap junk they sell at discount stores. Do the workouts (play), replace a meal a day to cut calories but maintain that metabolism (shake), and the results will happen. That's your message (share).

"Cha-ching." There goes another one. Why are you still reading this? You need to get the word out now.

The next time you are in the grocery store, at the PTA meeting, on the sidelines of soccer practice, pass out your business cards. Tell people those three things I outlined, and then keep reminding people. Tell them how it is working for you.

At some point this week, every one of the people you know will look at themselves in the mirror. They probably won't be too happy with what they see. You want them to remember you at that moment. When they see a Beachbody product (or any weight loss product on TV for that matter) you want them to think of those conversations or emails you sent them. The people you know are the people I want you to help!

"I'm ready" is what they'll say. They'll lose the weight, and you'll get "Cha-ching!"

"Remember My Name... FAME!"

Over the last 10 years I've appeared in some of our shows to promote products like Power 90, Slim in 6, P90X, and recently the Ten Minute Trainer. With all that exposure, not once have I been recognized, until now...

A friend of Tony Horton's spotted this photo about over-crowding in the Arkansas prison system... They must have been watching the P90X infomercial, giving a new reality to "prison cell push ups". I have found my audience!

The Answer Is Productivity

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Norman Vincent Peale

We are surrounded by the news of financial meltdown. The credit crisis has yet to find its way through the system to the majority of us. And while I'm no economist, I believe that as the effects of the current crisis and the tight debt markets find their way to "Main street", there will be another wave of defaults, but this time in credit card debt, and we'll be looking at another series of "bail out" scenarios.

So you might be thinking, "What the heck do I do to survive this?"

The answer is, get productive. I have read many accounts of people who managed to build fortunes during recessions, even during the depression era. That's the safety of working with creativity, especially in an area that people truly need no matter what the financial picture.

That's what we have at Beachbody. Our product is not frivolous - this is something that will change the quality of life for everyone who participates. The health care crisis, which costs us billions upon billions of dollars, can be traced to choices, not to economics. When we lead healthier lives, we reduce the cost of health care to ourselves and our society. That is not something that will disappear during a rough economy, but something that will become even more important.

And to be in a position of offering that kind of opportunity for just $39.95, an opportunity that can generate hundreds if not thousands of dollars a month if you work it hard, is ideal - especially when times are tough.

Fortune favors persistence, regardless of the environment around us. We will continue to be smart and creative. And we will continue to help people. When anyone wonders why you are feeling so good and your financial situation is so solid when everyone else is struggling, tell them that you never quit, and you never stopped believing that helping people was worth the effort.

Now is the time to be productive!

You Do The Sharing, We Do The Rest

An acquaintance asked me what she would have to do to be a Beachbody coach:

I said "Play, shake, and share."

She said; "Right, but what about running the business and all that stuff?"

I said: "For the price of a coach kit, here's what happens: We build a website for you, we take orders you get on your website and handle the inventory, billing, shipping, and customer service."

She said: "So what do I do?"

I said: "Play, shake and share... Use a fitness program that suits you, and replace at least one meal a day with a meal replacement shake. The results will be visible very fast and you can still eat the rest of your meals with real food, with the rest of the family. Share means to tell some people what you are doing every day via email, message boards, blogs, in the line at the grocery store. People you talk to will start see you're serious. They will see you drinking your shake. You tell them how easy it is to stay motivated because you're going deep on this one. And they will soon understand that the motivation to turn your weight loss into a profit is HELPING YOU STAY CONSISTENT."

She said: "How will that turn into income for me?"

I said: "We spend over $1 million a week advertising these products. Other network marketing companies don't do that. That means people you "share" with likely know about Turbo Jam, P90X, Ten Minute Trainer, etc. Tell them when they're ready to lose the weight they should buy them through you and join the club, and they will save 10% off the TV price. And to conquer the food problem, replace a meal a day with a substantial meal replacement shake. They might not buy today, but eventually they will see a product from Beachbody that sparks their interest, and they'll remember you were the one who made it sound easy. They'll want to buy from you and get the best price."

She said: "But how do I recruit other coaches?"

I said: "You've told my how frustrated you are that you can never stay with a program. When I asked you if having a money motivation attached to getting fit and eating right would help you stay with it, you said it would. We didn't talk about you getting rich, or buying a new car. We talked about how the slightest hint of an extra income would be that extra ingredient to help you exercise and eat better. And you told me you know a couple other people who could use an extra income and to lose twenty or so pounds. That is the start of an organization, and the path to also getting a couple customers from Beachbody."

She said: "You do the advertising. You set up the website. I don't have to buy a bunch of product to sell. And I don't have to ship it and bill people. I just follow your program to exercise, eat better, and talk to people about it. How can I be sure it will work?"

I said: "There's only one way this will work: If you do it. If you finally get consistent with Play, Shake and Share it will absolutely work. Our walls are lined with pictures of proof. But you have to want it seriously. This can't be another light foray into a lame "diet of the day". Once and for all, you have to want to do what works. Do you think you really want it?"

She said: "I so want to feel better about my body. And I need to find a way out of this debt."

I said: "What's the one thing standing in your way?"

She said: "Me?"

I said: "You can think about it. You can think about it some more. Or you can commit. The solution for your health and your income is right here. You pick the program, get the shake, and start to share it."

She said: "I do the sharing, Beachbody does the rest?"

I said: "Let's get started"

The Team Beachbody Message Boards

When we say the heart of Beachbody Coaching and body transformation success is "Play, Shake and Share", the "share" part is where many people give me a blank stare. That's because, SHARE is what's unique here, so it takes a little creativity and a leap of faith. But we've seen the power of peer-to-peer support help people overcome obstacles over and over again. Sharing and supporting can be as easy as talking to friends and neighbors about what you are doing, posting YouTube updates or blog updates on your progress, or even visiting the Team Beachbody message boards and encouraging people as you share your own story.

Any small daily effort to reinforce your "play/shake" habits will do two things: Help you maintain your commitment and help others understand that this is for real.

Eight years ago, our message boards were the first evidence we had of the power of "sharing". (Think "Weight watchers" support meeting, but online.) The boards are the very soul of Beachbody. The power of the boards is not in their size, but in how it's possible to start a forum with your story and begin to support people and share success on the very same program you or your customers are using right now.

Use the message boards to journal your own process or to simply create a challenge of your own like ShawnMareS did with her PRE-NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION CHALLENGE.

You'll find that as a few others join in the conversation, the boards aren't a vast hoard of people and a tower of babble, but a collection of smaller groups helping each other succeed based on some common interest.

"... I radically changed my body and my life in 90 days using Beachbody's Power 90 In-Home Boot Camp and Slimming Formula. I lost 54 pounds, 35.5 inches, 10% body fat, and 5 pant sizes in the first 90 days. It has now been a little less than 5 months and I have lost more than 72 pounds and gone from wearing 24W/22W to wearing regular size 14s. When I started I was morbidly obese and on the verge of scheduling gastric bypass, now my BMI is no longer in the obesity range!!! To go from morbidly obese to no longer obese before my 40th birthday was my main goal and thanks to Beachbody I have achieved that goal and my birthday is not until this coming Thursday. I feel so blessed that I felt compelled to share my story with you on this forum today for anyone who may feel discouraged. If I can do it - so can you!!!!!!! Hang in there, stick with it, it does and will work!!!!!Shawn Marie (screen name: ShawnMarieS)

A Tony Horton Gun Show

Month four of Tony Horton's monthly One on One series could be called the ultimate glamour disc, because it's all about the arms, the guns. You're going to LOVE this workout!

In Tough Times, Turn To Charity

There's an article in Business Week about how the financial crisis on Wall Street will have an enormous impact on charities who have relied on generous donations from banks and their executives for much of their annual budgets.

Time to get creative, because that money's not gonna be there this year. And the timing for some charities couldn't be worse. The America Red Cross is staring in the face of hurricane season with dwindling funds. Jonathan Aiken, a spokesman from the disaster relief fund says they have no choice but to borrow the money they need. But that creates a ripple effect; Borrow now, pay interest on that money later which makes it even harder to make ends meet.

I think our coaches have a resource. 200 million Americans need a solution to their health and weight issues. Why don't some of these charities enlist as coaches (we have special structure for 501(c)3 charities to make it economical -- coach relations has more info) and ask their supporters to become coaches downline from the charity and band together to raise money through our business opportunity while they get healthy?

One of the very first charities to get involved as a non-profit Beachbody Coach is the Tunahaki Foundation, a small charity focused on helping an orphanage in Africa. To date they have generated over $3,600 as a coach - and that is with fairly passive action. They mentioned it a couple times in newsletters, but otherwise have not leveraged the opportunity to mobilize their base of supporters to get in shape and help others in the name of helping the kids in Tanzania.

What about right here though? Is your PTA having any issue meeting its budget? We already have school PTA's who have signed up as coaches to raise money by selling healthy Beachbody programs rather than candy and baked goods.

I know many people like Perry Tinsley, Joey Petri, Blake and Angie Warrington, Milan Jensen and David Lewine are looking to leverage the upcoming release of the Kathy Smith's "Project: YOU! for Type Two" to raise money for diabetes-related charities.

In fact, I want to start getting people to sign up for the ADA's step-out walk, Sun Oct 26th in LA at http://www.diabetes.org/Teambeachbody. You can form your own team under Team Beachbody, sign up solo, and sign-up people who sponsor you as a walker. Kathy Smith herself will be leading the warm-up that day, and I'll be walking with my four-month old. (Sign in is at 7.30 am for the 9:00 am walk.)

Here's the bottom line to all this: Beachbody is spending millions a week in TV advertising to make effective products like P90X, Ten Minute Trainer, and Turbo Jam famous. People can buy them from Beachbody directly, they can buy them from you as a coach, or they can buy them from your favorite charity so they earn the 25% commission and you as a coach get the bonus. I know I would rather see the girlscouts motivating their parents and friends to get healthy with "ChaLEAN Extreme" instead of pushing boxes of cookies.

Who do you know that could benefit from Beachbody's healthy alternative to fundraising and community improvement? Why not mobilize that community to workout in the WOWY SuperGym to get healthy, and if anyone wins the $1,000 they split it with the charity? Or devote their personal transformation to that charity and compete for the $10,000 prize in the Million Dollar Body Game -- and then donate the prize to the charity! If I ran a charitable organization I would promote the money Beachbody gives away as if it were the charity's, and rally the population of supporters to "get healthy and help us meet our budget!"

With over 12,000 Beachbody coaches, I know some have connections to charities which you care about. Whether it's active participation to get people healthy the way we are doing with the ADA, or simply getting a charity involved as a coach and promoting the availability of these TV-promoted products in the charity's newsletter, every charity, church, and school who is looking to meet its budget and to have a positive impact on the health and wellness of its community should join as a Beachbody coach.

Congratulations to Mr. One Millionth

Beachbody complaints about doing weekend workouts quiet down when there's cash and prizes at stake... Anyone who logs there workout into our online SuperGym can win, every day, even the weekend. But last weekend was special when we saw a larger than normal crowd signing in to workout in the WOWY SuperGym as we led up to the one millionth WOWY workout of the year.

Congratulations to Bill Cowan, Diamond coach and the lucky one millionth workout in WOWY in 2008! For signing into the WOWY SuperGym on Sunday 9/13 an knocking out a quick round of abs with Ten Minute Trainer, Bill won $1,000, and his coach Judy Zavislak won $500!

Bill also won an autographed DVD from his favorite trainer, a 90-day supply of the Results Pack, a signed certificate from me, and a whole bunch of fame and applause from around the internet.

Congratulations Bill. Keep pushing play, and thank you for helping us motivate as many people as possible to join the Beachbody Revolution!

As Seen In The Press of Atlantic City

Excerpt from "A short week, long on pain"
By DAVID WEINBERG Staff Writer
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2008

"Few players take a beating during a game like long-snapper Jon Dorenbos. On punts, extra points and field goals, he is always getting hit by one, two or even three opposing players.
He recovers by working out every morning in the trainer's room with place-kicker David Akers and punter Sav Rocca. All are devotees to the "P90X'' strength and flexibility routine devised by noted fitness guru Tony Horton.

"I'm actually friends with one of the guys in the 'P90X' videos and I've met Tony a few times,'' Dorenbos said. "I'm a big believer in the program, especially the yoga workouts. I had never done anything like that before, but I find that it really helps me with my flexibility. I've never had a massage in my life or been in a hyperbaric chamber. I stick with what works and this works.''

The Eagles will find out today if all the extra efforts paid off. "

Just Another Manic Monday!

It was another Manic Monday as we continue to drive to get the 2,000 coaches we need to give away the four trips to Mexico this month. (We're over half way there!)

Today’s calls were mostly about how powerful results can be when people inspire the people around them to get healthy and active. When that happens, it’s the person who did the work that deserves the pay day! That’s what being a coach is about!
===============================================

Elizabeth Kulp brought along her husband Dave and friend Amanda. Their results are what will inspire people. It doesn’t have to start out as a million dollar dream, but there is no reason it can’t end up there!

Keith Harris and Connie brought two prospects to the call; Steve, is a P90X fan who learned about the product from unlikely (yet powerful) advocate Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser. Rick is also doing P90X. By the end of the call it felt like everyone agreed that with their participation it was not too bold to say we really can turn around this trend of obesity if we keep sharing the concept.

Founders Blake and Angie Warrington introduced me to Roy Mitchell, a former pro hockey player for the Montreal Canadiens, firefighter and ACE certified fitness trainer. Roy bought 15 units of P90X and wants to help his entire fire department of 235. He has a great opportunity to not just improve the fitness of the department, but to leverage the heroic stature of firefighters into inspiring the entire community to get on the program.

Kelli Miller, Gwen, and Holly brought Art in to talk about how he can turn his healthy habit of walking into a real fitness habit including some resistance training and a diet that might help lower his cholesterol. Art was looking at other opportunities, but the market demand of 200 million people and product line promoted by $90MM of TV advertising makes this more compelling than anything available.

Melissa McAllister invited Cindy, Heather and two prospects: Kiesha is an engineer who let her education and career replace her former athletic habits and now wants to get back on track. Heather Dixon is an athlete and trainer who is always giving out free workout and diet advice. Now she’ll have the ability to turn that casual advice into real support and a business opportunity, and Kiesha will have the money motivation to get her athletic body back and to inspire the people around her to do the same.

Holly Blockowitz got back on the phone with Walter and Sharon, two of her new coaches, and prospects Gabrielle and Christopher. We talked about how emotional it can be when you don’t recognize your body in the mirror, and you don’t feel like there’s a solution that will work for you. Beachbody coaches know better. The answer is “Play, Shake, and Share.”

Tina Drake brought prospect Jen, a maintenance clerk in a sawmill looking for a new opportunity. We talked about how getting back in shape and earning a substantial income with this opportunity starts with finding your own “Why”, and unleashing all your passion to achieve that on a business opportunity that will both transform your body and reward you for your efforts!

David Martin, Derek, and Sabu are all excited about the opportunity. Sabu has been in the network marketing business in the past. He saw what two rounds of Power 90 and P90X did for David Martin, and he sees that this company is here to stay with great products and a huge opportunity to grow.

Derek Frazier got back on the phone with Roosevelt Holmes and Robert Thomas about how our ~12,000 coaches, while solid, is just a stepping stone as we are on our way to get to 100,000 coaches. These guys sound hungry, and are going to jump in a make big things happen.

Founding coach Tony Barca got Scott on the phone, the January 50+ winner in the Million Dollar Body Game, now he’s looking to reduce work stress and get on with something that can help people.

Charline Bucher doesn’t stop. She spent the weekend braving Ike in Texas to speak in front of 150 people this weekend, is still working hard to bring in some major corporate players, and made time to get on the phone with diamond coach Janice, Christy, and her sister Stormy. They’re making things happen by making sure that the people they know, know they are in the Beachbody business!

Michelle Sweetland has been a coach for a couple months and is talking to her sister Jenny about the opportunity. I think Jenny “got it” in about five seconds; Her last two jobs were spent selling gym memberships. Now she gets to promote the same healthy active lifestyle, but this time open it up beyond prospects within a ten mile radius of the gym to the entire country, and count on monthly recurring revenue that actually might give her the cash flow to take some time off every once in a while!

Long time network marketer Micah May conferenced in Larry, Jason, Brian and Becky. In addition to digging the customer lead program, they get how every customer who gets healthy results inspires another ten, and the ripple effect takes over. That’s the most powerful application of network marketing in history!

Kevin Kane, the “Fit Doc” had three prospects on the line who are ready for the release of Kathy Smith’s “Project: YOU, for Type 2”, Ray, Antoinette and Bill. They’re eager for the release of the single page flyer describing the product so they can start approaching every doctor they can find!

Fran Patoskie called from Honolulu with Kathy who is a Turbokick instructor and Missy, another coach. Something about instructors clicks into gear with the coach opportunity so fast; They get it. And when we started to talk about the upcoming ChaLEAN Extreme, you’d have thought I told them Elvis had a new album coming out!

Tammy Morris had Lee and Anne on the speaker phone. Anyone who has experienced network marketing before always approaches the Beachbody Revolution with some cynicism. Once they heard that we don’t require people to load up on inventory they saw how we’re different than everyone else.

Chela Siegrist brought her father in law to the call. Steve is a pastor and firefighter who had some success with Power 90 years ago. He “got it” when I told him that his prior success with the product probably inspired people to buy it – this time he deserves to get paid when he inspires people with his results – as a coach!

Rochelle Griffin had three Beachbody customers on the phone; Dana, Marybelle and Michelle. They learned that their process and their success will inspire people to buy the same products they’re using. The question is, do they want them to buy from Beachbody, or from them. (I suspect they would rather they buy the products from them. That’s what I want too! They deserve the money since THEY did the work!)

My last call was with Dean Mincer who had prospect Christy on the phone. Here’s a woman who just bought a house and is about to go into nursing school. She has some weight to lose, and would like some extra motivation. Is there a more ideal candidate for earning money in a part-time job at home that motivates you to succeed with your health and fitness program – at the same time that she’s surrounded by other people in the healthcare profession who could be prospects to distribute these products to people in need? Perfect! Let’s do this!

Without A Trace... of fat

Thanks to coach Judy Zavislak for finding another example of the Beachbody Revolution, this time featuring Roselyn Sanchez (Who knew the end of obesity would start... in Hollywood?)

Without a Trace's sultry sleuth says she had to kick her workout routine into high gear when she turned 30. "When it happened to me, it was like, what is going on?" says Roselyn Sanchez, 35. "My hips. My legs. My stomach used to be really flat, but now I have to be careful with what I eat." She keeps in shape with P90X, a 90-day workout plan that has 12 DVDs designed to target a different area of the body. "I swear by it," says Sanchez, who's been doing the program every morning for six months. "Every girl needs to give it a try. It will change your body!"

WORK YOUR MUSCLES
Jennie Garth toned up for her comeback role on the new 90210 by working out five days a week with husband actor Peter Facinelli to trainer Tony Horton's P90X DVDs. "Every day is different," she says. "One day is really hard yoga. Then arms and shoulders, legs, then karate. His program is made to confuse the muscles so you don't plateau. I feel better now than I ever have."
