Drinking Shakeology is Doing Good (in so many ways)

Here’s a little story for you, and a great way to help others while helping yourself.
(The photos are from my trip to Ecuador in 1997)



After amazing medical trips to help people in Ecuador and Nepal a few years back, my life was forever changed, and I came home with two important realizations:

First was an amazement at how these people were so impoverished, yet so proud and generous.  They had so little, yet would gladly offer it all to host us- literal strangers.
 
And second, I knew that if I ever had children I wanted to take them there to show them how fortunate we are.  We all really hit the lottery by being born in the US and Canada!



I remember vividly, while riding a bus in Ecuador from our hospital to a coastal town for some weekend R&R, looking out the window and thinking about my situation at home.  I was considering buying a downtown loft condo and wondering, “should I put in hardwood floors or should I do polished concrete?”  

Just then, we passed a 1-room thatched hut on the side of the road.   The woman who lived there stood in the doorway sweeping her floor, if you could call it that... because there really was no floor.  She just swept the dirt.  

It was like the lady just whacked me over the head with a hundred broomsticks!

If my biggest problem was deciding what type of floor to put in a new condo...  geez, what am I worried about?  At least I have a stinking floor!!

What does this have to do with Beachbody or fitness?

I love Shakeology, and I started drinking it every day because I’ve researched the ingredients and was amazed by the health benefits I found. That was enough for me.  

Now, learning more about HOW it is made makes me want to use it even more.  Shakeology is fair trade on steroids!

I think you’ll like this video.  It follows ingredient hunter Daren Olien on his quest for the best ingredients possible, and introduces you to some of the people Shakeology helps.  Because every bag literally supports hundreds of farmers and working people from developing countries around the world.  



Being healthy never felt so good.

To your health,

Kevin

Keeping Up with the Kids!

Doc’s Coach Check-in May 2011

Keeping up with the kids!

You just got your DVD’s.  This time you really mean it!  

You are ready for a commitment, you got rid of the junk food in the house, and could barely sleep the night before you started your new program.  



But man, it was tough keeping up.  You did your best, and paid the price the next day!!  

“I never knew sitting down could cause so much pain.”  And “stairs - just became a torture chamber!”  Sound familiar?

All that is OK (as long as you didn’t hurt yourself), but there is another way!

Shawn T tells us to Dig Deeper.  Tony Horton asks you to Bring It!  But when you are just starting out, that may be asking a lot.  

Keeping up with the cast of Power 90, P90X, Turbo-fire, or Insanity is TOUGH!  Don’t expect to do it right away.  

It will come with time.  You’ll get better, faster, and stronger every week.  But don’t be afraid to MODIFY your moves or hit pause if you need to.  

The most important thing you can do to get incredible results is be consistent with your movement and your eating.  Intensity is important, too.  But when you are starting out, an intense workout may mean marching in place.  You need to be okay with that and just keep doing what you can.  They say 80% of life is showing up.  In fitness it is more like 95%!  

Whether you are looking for better health, for weight loss, or to get ripped, it never happens over night.  

Enjoy the process, modify if you need to and stick with it!  

Do these simple things and you’ll be keeping up with “the kids” before you know it.

Keep pushing play,


Dr. Kevin
