Yesterday a friend was telling me about his wife's network marketing company. It's a good company, but she's struggling to make it work. The products are high quality organic vitamins. Good stuff. But she's having trouble because people don't see the value in it. Why pay more when I can go to my supermarket and get vitamins? Why buy from you when I can just go to Whole Foods if I want organic.
It got me to thinking about Beachbody Coaching, and what makes us different from all the other MLM opportunities out there. People come up to me asking about products like Shakelogy and P90X all the time.
I figured it out. Team Beachbody is not offering a fad or a gadget. We are offering people the ability to change their lives through health and fitness.
We do not say it is easy. In fact it takes work. But if you make changes, put in the effort and support that with quality supplements, you will succeed. Millions of transformations now back that up.
What Team Beachbody offers is life change!!
Real, tangible life-change.
It's amazing... and that’s what makes it so different from everyone else.
You can't get that at Walmart.

Stand Up for Yourself!
Stand for Your Life!
Stand up. Right now... You’ll thank me in a few minutes.
Since you are reading this, you probably are the kind of person who already eats well and you probably do your best to work out regularly. Great! (I’m proud of you!) You are in the top 10% when it comes to taking care of yourself.
But you still may be sabotaging your health every single day, without even knowing it!
A new health risk has been discovered, and it might just involve you!
Regardless of how much you exercise, emerging research shows that your health, and indeed your life may depend on how much you sit!!
Are You an Active Couch Potato?
Scientists call this new class of at-risk people Active Couch Potatoes! (Seriously, that’s what they are called.)
Active couch potatoes are people who work out regularly and meet all the recommended exercise guidelines, but spend a lot of time sitting on the job, at a computer, or watching TV. Is this you?
Even in healthy physically active people, a significant association was found between sedentary time and heart disease risk factors including higher waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, triglycerides, and lower HDL cholesterol!
I want to emphasize that the risks of sitting time on your health appear to be independent of how much you exercise.
Sitting Kills
In a landmark study from Australia, where participants were followed for 6.5 years, high levels of TV time were associated with increased
all-cause and cardiovascular death rates!
Importantly, the risk of death was dose-related. For every hour people watched TV, the cardiovascular death risk went up another 20%.
The people who watched the most TV (4 hours per day or more) had an 80% higher risk of cardiac death compared to those watching the least TV (<2 hours/day).
It seems the more you sit, the faster you die!
A recent study from the United States examined sedentary behaviors in a 21 year follow-up of over 7,000 men. Those who reported spending more than 10 hours per week sitting in automobiles had an 82% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Take Breaks From Sitting
Luckily the solution is easy. Stand up. Standing, even though it is not terribly active, still involves contraction of postural muscles which
kicks your metabolism back into gear.
Studies show that interrupting your sedenary time even for short (1 minute) breaks to stand up, stretch, or walk is enough to reverse the toxic
effects of sitting. In fact, one study showed that people that took frequent breaks from being sedentary had waists that were 6 cm smaller
than the non-breakers!
So even if you have to sit a lot during your day, you can take back your health by taking regular short breaks form being sedentary.
‘Nuff said. You may take your seat now.
