P90X: The Eleventh Week

The 11th week has come and gone and so has 1 pound of body fat. I am now down to 173 lbs., 3 pounds from my goal of 170. I am going to pick it up a notch in these final two weeks. After I reach my goal of 170, I am going to increase my diet from 2500 calories/day to around 2900. I am going to focus on staying lean but increasing my muscle mass a bit.

Day 1: 195 lbs

Day 90: 172 lbs

During this week I have really noticed a difference in my pull-ups. These have always been very difficult for me. When I first began P90X I could barely do 2 chin-ups, which are the easiest style. 11weeks later I am doing 11-13 chin-ups, 6-8 wide front pull-ups, and 3-4 corn cob pull-ups. When I first attempted corn-cob pull ups I thought that Tony Horton was crazy, which he is by the way. I may have even said some not nice things to him too. I thought there was no way I could do these. But I forced myself to and over the weeks I went from 0 corn cobs to 3-4.

I also started a P90X workout group at the school I work at. As of now, the group is at 5 members. We work out in one of the gyms each day after school for about an hour each day. I began the group on my scheduled workouts. I thought that even though it was week 11, they were there to work out and work out they would!

On the first day that we met I was scheduled to do plyos. Now, I did not want to scare them away so I asked them if they wanted to do the toughest cardio workout the P90X had to offer. They all kinda shrugged their shoulders and said “sure, lets do it!”. Fast forward a week and they are all still all there! I told them that if they could make it through plyos, they could make it through any of the p90X workouts.

Word is spreading and it sounds like the group is going to continue to grow. I plan on continuing the P90X workouts throughout the school year. If all goes well, by the time June rolls around, I should be just surpassing day 310 on my P90X workouts. I would like to see the P90X group grow to around 20 members.

I am also a Coach for Team Beachbody. Once I start to make some cash coaching, I am going to introduce the opportunity to a few of the members who I feel would be good at it. My good friend Brad had been a Coach for Team Beachbody for a little over a year is making $700-$800 a week as a Beachbody Coach. That is $40,000 a year!!!

The Coach that I signed up under, Chris, is also a good friend of mine. He has been a coach for about 3 months. He just began making money and is making between $20-$50 a week. Now that may not seem like a lot, but over a month it addds up to $80-$200. A little more each week and he will have erased his car payment. How about that, no more car payment!

Making money Coaching does not require you to be a salesperson. If that was the case I would have never gotten into it because I hate trying to sell people things that they don’t want. If you want to know more about coaching, email me, or watch the compensation plan video on my “Make Money Getting In Shape” page.

This Coaching opportunity was introduced by Team Beachbody only 3 years ago. It is really almost too good to be true. It requires about2-4 hours of work on the computer a week. If you get into Coaching early, you will have a ton of people benaeth you and will be on your way to an increased state of financial security. I plan on taking my wife to Hawaii and buying a sports car in two years. Hey, everyone needs goals! I look forward to hearing from you!
