I have done the Insanity workout program a bit before so the fit test was nothing new to me. It has been a while since I have “Pushed play” on an Insanity DVD. Needless to say the trainer who leads the Insanity workouts, Shaun-T, didn’t waste any time getting me sweating.

The first test wasn’t too difficult. It is supposed to be used to track your improvements throughout the 60-day program. I will be doing the fit test every 15 days and tracking my progress with a chart provided for free from Beachbody. Below are the results from my first Insanity workout fit test.

6/27/10 7/14/10

This was my second time through the fit test and it was still challenging. I made it a point to push myself and improve with each exercise but  I don’t see myself improving too much more in some of the exercises. There are 8 exercises in the fit test and each one is a minute long. I will probably be able to increase each one a little bit but there is no way I will experience the jumps that I had in some of them. With the first exercise, switch kicks, I am going almost 2 every second for the entire minute. I think I had a pretty good amount of power knees too.  I estimate that in 45 more days I should add at least 5-10% on to every exercise.

Hello, my name is Nathan McCabe and I would like to welcome you to my website. I am an Independent Beachbody Ruby Coach for the California based company Beachbody. Beachbody is a company that makes workout systems that actually work, such as the P90X and Insanity home workout systems. Beachbody has been growing at an alarming rate because of the quality of its products. Beachbody employs professional trainers and dieticians who collaborate to create these great workout systems. Each of their workout systems comes with the DVD’s and an extremely detailed diet plan.
Last summer I became a Beachbody Coach and purchased the P90X home workout system. I fully dedicated myself to the workouts and the diet plan that came along with it. It is a foolproof system. If you follow the workouts and the diet you cannot lose. You can check out my P90X results here. The results are actually guaranteed by Beachbody. If you are unsatisfied with the P90X after 90 days they will give you a full refund! How about that? How many companies will let you use their product for 3 months and let you return it if you are unsatisfied?
I originally became a Beachbody Coach to take advantage of the 25% discount. When I purchased the P90X as a Coach it saved me $30 right away. It only cost $15 a month to be a coach so it was an easy decision for me. I could have called up Beachbody the next day and canceled my Coach status but I decided to keep taking advantage of the discount and explore the business side of being a Coach.
I never considered myself a businessperson, I guess that I why I went into education. I am presently a 6th grade teacher and love every minute of it. Beachbody has an outstanding support system for its Coaches and does everything it can to empower them to be successful. To begin with, Beachbody gives each of its Coaches a fully functional website. My Beachbody site looks like this.
All you have to do is drive traffic to it. The easiest, and free, way to do it is by word of mouth or social networking sites (Facebook, MySpace, etc…). Whenever a person goes to your Beachbody website and makes a purchase from it you make 25%. It’s just that easy! You don’t have to worry about any customer service responsibilities or mailing/calling anything or anybody. All you have to do is be a product of the products that Beachbody sells. To break even from the $15 a month it costs to be a Coach, all you have to do is sell 1 workout system each month.
Please take a few moments to watch the video I have made that details being a Beachbody Coach. If you have any questions you can email me at Nathan@RippedBody.org

Today was the P90X‘s shoulders and arms workout. I love this workout! What I love most about this workout is that afterwards your shoulders and biceps are really pumped! The workouts bounces back and forth between triceps,  biceps, and shoulders. The shoulder exercises really get me going. Tony has me doing a lot of standing dumbbell presses. I don’t have dumbbells so I have been using my Beachbody stretch bands. All I have is a 50lb. and a 30 lb. band. So all of my shoulder presses are done with the 50.  For biceps he of course has me doing a ton of curls. There are a four different variations but a curl is a curl. For triceps I stick with my 30 lb. band. For the tri’s he has me doing a lot of extensions. Like I said in my opening, I love this workout and am going to miss it. I just finished my 3rd week and I won’t see it again until my 9 th week.
