Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse

Ok....so started my Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse today. Considering I am used to eating a lot this should be interesting. Last time I did this I last 9 lbs I think...it was almost a year ago.

Basically you have couple cups of green tea and 3 Shakeology shakes over the day and then large salad with chicken or fish for supper. I will be adding fruit for added carbs during the day because I have few more workouts left.

Current Stats Day One:
Weight 174
BF % 20.4 (based on my scale)
Waist 36.5"

Will post more over next 3 days. If your interested in trying a cleanse let me know. I will order more Shakeology.

The Jefit Android App Update

Ok....I have been messing with the Jefit app and it is not very user friendly. I will keep working with it to try and tweak to my liking but some of the moves I do in Body Beast are not listed...for example: close grip press. This is a basic move and also used later in a combo set.

I think it would be much easier to document it all out by writing it down. Problem is some of the moves you do in Bulk section are same as some in Build section so you are forced to look back through weeks of paper to find the move. An app that could keep track would be nice.

I will see if I can keep tweaking it based on the database of moves this app has.

Great New App..

Check this out!!

I found this cool app in the Play Store and am going to use it along with My Fitness Pal to log all my info for the next round of Body Beast and also my cardio...I am also going to purchase a caloric burn tracker so I can follow what I am burning much closer.

I am going to use the "free" version of the new app to test run the program and how user friendly it is. The "Pro" version is $4.99...and that's typical of most apps...this one even has database you can upload your info to etc...seems like great little app.

On my second round of Body Beast I will be doing the "Lean" version this time...( i think....still haven't decided)

Check out the app... www.jefit.com

Les Mills Combat

Well I had the chance to experience Les Mills Combat and let me tell ya....just WOW!! Freakin love it!!! The FULL program doesn't ship until December 4th or so..but Beachbody is taking Pre-Orders up until the end of November... (if you want it..hit me up, I have free dvd for you if you get it by end of the month).

I think I was a little surprised on how easy it was to follow. I got a 3 pack dvd add-on for Les Mills Pump home fitness program. I just ordered the add-on for $30. It came with the Combat DVD along with Sports Attack and Step. Seemed like killer deal to have 3 separate workouts for that cheap. In the beginning it was great that they have like a "training" section so you learn the moves. Then when you start the program you are familiar...PLUS when they do a new move..the lead into it...which is really nice!!

I have a feeling that this is going to be a fantastic home fitness program!! They have a person showing the modified moves right in front so you can see what they are doing. There really is no excuse that someone can't do this program...it's FUN, fast moving, and has you sweating almost right from the start! Sweat equals fat being burned off....and that's what we all want!!

I will for sure suggest Les Mills Combat for anyone who wants to start a fitness program to get healthy!! You won't regret this one...it's fun, you feel like a fighter, and you can go at your own pace.

Welcome Letter..

Welcome to my newest blog....!!

I very much appreciate your follow.

I have created this blog to continue my journey with Beachbody products and my results...

Starting Weight: 220 lbs.
Lowest Weight: 154 lbs.
Current Weight: 174 lbs.

So far I am a graduate of the following

P90X (One Round) (90 Days)
~Lost 52lbs

Insanity (One Round) (60 Days)
~Lost 18lbs

Body Beast (One Round) (90 Days)
~Added 10 lbs.
(I will post starting and ending measurements on Sunday)

My next evolution in my fitness journey is to do another Round of Body Beast but paying more attention to my nutrition. I gained the 10lbs of muscle mass just like it said I would but my body fat went up higher than I wanted. I will be adding more cardio to the second round of Beast.

I have pre-ordered Les Mills Combat and will start that on Jan. 7th 2013 along with a group of friends but until then I ordered the Combat dvd from the Les Mills Pump program add on's. I will be working out 2 times a day except for rest days so my nutrition will be CRITICAL to my success.

I will continue to post along my road to my goals...feel free to follow me and share this blog with anyone this might find use of it.

Thanks again...
~Mike Bell
