New and existing Tony One on One subscribers will get a full sample workout from TurboFire, the new High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program. If you’ve been looking for a killer cardio program, this is it. High-impact interval training has been shown to rev up your metabolism and keep it revved up, long after your workout is finished. In fact, a TurboFire workout can burn up to 9 times more fat and calories than a traditional cardio workout.  We got to preview this workout at the Beachbody Coaches Summit and it is outstanding. The music is really cool.

TurboFire is a great idea for P90X^® users who want to add more cardio to their regimen and an excellent “graduate” course for Turbo Jam^®, Hip Hop Abs^®, or Slim in 6^® enthusiasts.

This month’s One on One is entitled “On One Leg 4 Legs”. I know I’ll be using this one to increase my lower body strength for extra power on the bike. Here’s the preview:

Larry Zimberg and the crew will be bussing it across this great country to help facilitate a series of regional Super Saturdays.  They will cover everything from the training to the 3^rd Party Tools to teaching you how to grow a large organization. The energy will blow the roof off of every place we hit.

These events are going to be fun and informative both for Coaches and people interested in potentially becomming Coaches.  Monica will be a featured speaker at the first event in Tacoma, Washington this Saturday.

Here is the list of dates for the Game Plan Road Tour, along with links to register.  When you register as a guest please indicate that Monica Ward (azfitclub, Coach ID #16698) referred you to the event.  This may be indicated in a box labeled “Who is your Sponsoring Coach?”.  We would love to see you there!

1.  Have a “Getting Started Right Interview” with your sponsoring Team Beachbody Coach within 48 hours of sign up.

The Getting Started Right Interview is an opportunity to educate the new Team Beachbody Coach about the basics of the business and to gain an understanding of what the new Coach wants to accomplish.  As upline sponsors our primary job is to help our Coaches achieve their goals.  In order to do that you need to take the time to understand what your new Coach’s goals are.

2.  Commit to a Beachbody Fitness Program and a Nutritional Program, such as Shakeology.

This seems obvious, but having a plan and writing it down is important.  In addition, being on a fitness journey is an important part of being a Team Beachbody Coach.  You don’t need to be a fitness model to be a Team Beachbody Coach, but you do need to be a product of the product.  That means that everyone needs to have a fitness program and commit to that plan.

3.  Commit to Two Exposures per day.

Exposures are all about retailing and recruiting and “exposure is everything”.  An exposure is simple to do and essentially means that you direct someone to one of the many third party tools that Team Beachbody has made available.  Exposures may involve either the business opportunity or the fitness programs, but we all commit to do at least two per day.

4.  Attend at least one local event per week.

These may be business briefings, home parties, training sessions or the “Fit Club” events that we like to organize.  Our Fit Club events typically entail a business briefing followed by a workout.  We always do a cardio workout (usually P90X Plyometrics or Cardio X or one of the many Insanity workouts).  By doing a cardio workout you avoid people needing to bring equipment with them.

5.  Attend all Team Beachbody Corporate events.

Team Beachbody holds numerous corporate events.  The annual Beachbody Coaches Summit will take place April 30th thru May 2nd of 2010.  Every Team Beachbody Coach should plan on attending this important and inspirational event.  In addition, there are numerous regional events planned.  The Game Plan Road Trip will roll into Tacoma, Washington on November 7, 2009.  If you live in the Pacific Northwest, we strongly encourage you to attend this event.  The event is also open to business prospects, so if you are reading this as a prospective new Coach, please let us know and we’ll get you added to the list.

6.  Treat your Team Beachbody business like a business.

The cost to start a Team Beachbody business is very low.  The initial sign up fee is only $39.95, which includes the first month of the a monthly service fee of $14.95.  With costs that low it is easy to slip into the trap of not treating your business like a million dollar opportunity.  Avoid that trap.  Monica is a full time Team Beachbody Coach.  I am a lawyer and a part time Team Beachbody Coach.  I like to say that I work full time at my job and part time on my fortune.  I don’t spend nearly as much time as Monica does working the business, but when I am working as a Coach I am fully dedicated to that action.

7.  Apply the Laws of Duplication.

The Game Plan System is designed to be implemented by anyone.  Everyone can do the things on this list.  Some Coaches have tried to reinvent the wheel and put complicated recruiting systems into place.  That may work for that individual Coach, but new Coaches need systems they can work with on day one.  That’s the law of duplication.

8.  Commit to Personal Development.

We ask everyone, including ourselves, to read 10 pages of a personal development book and listen to 15 minutes of personal development audio every day.  This is simple and has benefits that are too great to describe here.  Your business will only grow as much as you do, so take this one seriously.

9.  Find a Success Partner.

The Team Beachbody Coaching business is a lot like Beachbody fitness programs.  They both work better when you have an accountability partner.  This is a person that you can talk to regularly about what is going on in your business.  We believe it is best done between an upline sponsor and a rising leader.  This gives the upline Coach and their sponsor the ability to work closely for 60 days to build in a specific area and acheive some specific goals.

10.  Be here a year from now.

Your first year in network marketing isn’t just survival, it is war.  Because the costs of getting into the business are low, the returns are not instant.  If you paid two million dollars to open a hamburger franchise, you could expect to see immediate returns the day you open the doors.  This business is built on sweat equity.  You have to give it time and you have to be willing to stick with it to see gradually increasing profits.  With a commitment to these principles and consistent effort the profits can be substantial.

So there’s the basics of the Game Plan we will be talking more about these core commitments in future articles here in the Coaches Corner.

What is in Shakeology anyway?

The ingredients in the Greenberry flavor and the Chocolate flavor are slightly different.  Please click below to view the nutritional information for each.

Greenberry Label

Chocolate Label

Should I continue to take Activit® or other multivitamins along with Shakeology?

Because of the way Shakeology is formulated, one shake pretty much covers your body’s normal daily requirement for vitamins and minerals. However, if you’re following a recommended exercise routine, your body is likely using up those nutrients at a faster rate. For example, if you’re doing P90X® or ChaLEAN Extreme®, hard-charging routines that burn more calories along with vitamins and minerals, you may need some additional supplementation-like Activit. Due to the digestive enzymes in Shakeology, taking Activit at the same time you drink Shakeology will help your body to better absorb all the nutrients.

Can I take Shakeology and P90X Peak Health Formula?

If you are using P90X Peak Health Formula, then only 1 serving/scoop of Shakeology is recommended per day. If you are taking any other supplements in addition to Shakeology and P90X Peak Health Formula, then watch your total intake to ensure you do not exceed Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for Copper is 10mg/day, for Magnesium 350 mg/day, for Manganese 11 mg/day, and for Zinc 40mg/day.

I already have some Meal Replacement Shake. Should I throw it out and switch to Shakeology?

You don’t have to throw it out. Meal Replacement Shake is a high-quality protein shake. Shakeology offers a wide array of nutrients on top of protein. Because Meal Replacement Shake has higher sugar content and less fiber, a good time to use it is around the time you are exercising (Results and Recovery is also good for this purpose). Shakeology is a better option for a meal that’s at least 2 hours before a workout or 1 hour afterwards.

Can I take this and the Results and Recovery Formula?

Yes, but not together! Results and Recovery Formula should only be taken during or after exercise when you’ve been exhausting your body’s blood sugar. At any other time, Shakeology would be your preferred option.

Should I still take an omega supplement?

While the flax seed and Chia seeds in Shakeology provide some omega-3 fatty acids, it is still recommended you take the Core Omega-3^TM supplement to meet your daily requirement.

How about Core Cal/Mag?

The recommended daily allowance of calcium is 1,200 mg for women and 1,500 mg/day for post-menopausal women. Shakeology provides 500 mg of calcium, so it is recommended to supplement with Core Cal-Mag^TM to meet the daily recommended allowance. Due to the digestive enzymes in Shakeology, taking Core Cal-Mag at the same time you drink Shakeology will help your body to better absorb the nutrients.

Does this mean I won’t have to eat veggies anymore?

Unfortunately, no. Fresh fruits and vegetables will always be important for a healthy, balanced diet. Shakeology can help you fill in the nutritional gaps that occur when you’re too busy to eat the right balance of fruits and veggies. Plus, it’s much easier to tuck Shakeology into a purse or backpack than a head of lettuce!

Is it OK to drink more than one shake per day? Or to replace more than one meal per day?

Yes, but it is not recommended to replace more than 2 meals per day.

There is no food coloring. How is one mix green and the other brown?

The ingredients (herbal powders, grass powders, vegetable powders, Spirulina, Chlorella, plus some of the fruit and berry powders) make the color green. The base of chocolate blend is also green, but the chocolate and cocoa powders turn the color “chocolate.”

Why does the Chocolate flavor have more protein?

The serving size for Chocolate is 8 grams higher than for Greenberry. The extra ingredients added for the chocolate blend (mostly chocolate powder and cocoa powder) add an additional 2 grams of protein to the serving size.

With what kind of protein is it made?

The primary source of protein is from whey, which comes from milk. Whey is one of the most bioavailable protein sources. Translation: it rapidly gets to work on repairing your muscles, and the amino acids are easily absorbed and used by your body.

Are the milk sources of protein antibiotic-free?

Yes, the whey protein used in Shakeology is free of antibiotics.

Is it a good source of fiber?

At 3 grams per 140 calories, Shakeology is a balanced source of fiber. More importantly, its fiber sources are varied, coming from apple pectin, flax, Chia meal, and Yacon. Yacon also happens to be one of the best prebiotic sources known to man.

Can I drink this right before a workout?

Shakeology would be a better option than a full meal prior to working out. However, if it’s immediately before a workout, you’d be better served by something with more sugar and less fiber for rapid absorption, such as the Results and Recovery Formula or Meal Replacement Shake.

Can I drink this right after a workout?

Again, it’s better than many other options available but less perfect than something designed primarily for this purpose, such as the Results and Recovery Formula.

Does it contain caffeine?

Shakeology contains no caffeine. It does contain green tea extract, but the caffeine has been removed.

Is Shakeology vegetarian?

Yes. In fact, the only non-vegan ingredient is whey protein, which comes from milk.

Are all of the ingredients organic?

With the complexity of sourcing over 70 ingredients from all over the world, it was not possible to certify all the ingredients as organic. However, they have been carefully selected and processed under strict controls to retain the highest density of nutrients possible.

Shakeology mentions “whole-food ingredients”-what does this mean? How can it be possible when it’s ground to a powder?

Shakeology uses several whole-food sources of nutrients rather than using only synthetic extracts or isolates (like some multivitamin pills). The benefit of whole-food-derived ingredients is that the nutrients are preserved as close to their natural state as possible and are therefore delivered to your body in the most holistic way possible. Your body will better absorb and more efficiently use the nutrients from whole-food sources. The process of converting a food from its natural state to a powder, if done incorrectly, can destroy the nutrients in that food. With Shakeology, we ensure the highest levels of nutrients are preserved through strict temperature-controlled drying and processing.

Can I mix this in with food I’m cooking/baking?

Cooking or heating Shakeology would destroy many of the nutrients in Shakeology and upset the nutrient balance. It’s highly recommended that you drink it at room temperature or cooler.

Is it safe for people with diabetes?

Because needs vary for each person with diabetes, it is recommended you check with your doctor first. However, since Shakeology is a low-caloric meal replacement with a lower glycemic index than most meals, it should be acceptable for most people with diabetes.

Can I give it to my kids? Is it safe for kids?

Because the needs of every child may vary, please check with your pediatrician. However, since Shakeology is a healthy drink with low sugar and a wide variety of nutrients, it is a much healthier option than many other drinks or snacks on the market and should be appropriate for most children over the age of 6. You may want to start out with a smaller serving size until you are sure of the child’s tolerance. It is not recommended to be given as a meal replacement for children younger than six years old without first checking with your pediatrician.

What about pregnant women and nursing mothers?

Shakeology should only be taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers under the direction of their physicians.

Is it safe for people with gluten allergies or celiac disease? It says gluten-free on the package, but the label lists wheatgrass and kamut grass as ingredients.

After extensive testing, Shakeology has been found to be 100 percent gluten-free. As such, Shakeology should be an appropriate snack or meal for people suffering from gluten allergies or celiac disease. However, since individual allergies and conditions vary, it is recommended to test a small dose first before proceeding with a full serving.

Does Shakeology interfere with any medication?

While Shakeology has been tested as safe for most people, you should always consult with your physician if you are on any medication (especially heart medication, since Shakeology contains Vitamin K1) or if you have any other unique health conditions.
