			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;ve always known, Shakeology is a great product and have a far better respect for it, after listening to Carl&#8217;s wife, Isabelle, co-creator of Shakeology, speak to the integrity behind the product and it&#8217;s birth.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Shakeology continues to evolve, and as it does, more and more lives will be impacted from it&#8217;s great many health benefits.  I am just touched by some of the stories I&#8217;ve read and heard, first hand, from people that have experienced a change in their total wellness.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Well, to top that, Carl and his buddies wanted to seek feedback from a population of experts, that many of turn to when our health takes a turn for the worst &#8211; our Doctors.  Here is a great video that shares THEIR personal experience with Shakeology and how they feel it&#8217;s a stand up product and recommend it to their patients &#8211; and NO, they are not being paid to endorse it, strictly voluntary.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<object id="flashObj" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="486" height="412" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=82906800001&amp;linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fbeachbodycoach.com%2Fesuite%2Fhome%2Fdare2befit%3Fbctid%3D82906800001&amp;playerID=5094541001&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/5094541001?isVid=1" /><param name="name" value="flashObj" /><param name="flashvars" value="videoId=82906800001&amp;linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fbeachbodycoach.com%2Fesuite%2Fhome%2Fdare2befit%3Fbctid%3D82906800001&amp;playerID=5094541001&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="flashObj" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="486" height="412" src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/5094541001?isVid=1" name="flashObj" allowscriptaccess="always" swliveconnect="true" allowfullscreen="true" seamlesstabbing="false" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" flashvars="videoId=82906800001&amp;linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fbeachbodycoach.com%2Fesuite%2Fhome%2Fdare2befit%3Fbctid%3D82906800001&amp;playerID=5094541001&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></embed></object>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Want further validation, take the ingredients list to YOUR doctor and have them see it for themselves.  Or, better yet, walk into your next appointment with a sample, so they can experience it first hand, and give you their honest impression.  I can help you with those sample packets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But, trusting the 30-day bottom of the bag guarantee, maybe you just experience it yourself.  If you&#8217;d like to get on board and try out Shakeology, send me an email: <a href="mailto:taryn@choose2befit.com">taryn@choose2befit.com</a> or visit: <a href="http://shake4wellness.com">http://shake4wellness.com</a> and check it out for yourself.</p>

<p><em>*This was recently discussed in last week’s “3-Day Shakeology Explained”, webinar, and since so many missed it or had questions, I wanted to post this written explanation by Steve Edwards, one of the masterminds behind this amazing cleanse.  For more information or to view my experience, visit my <a href="http://choose2befit.com/">website</a> and check out My Blog.</em></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I like to call the Shakeology <a href="http://letters.teambeachbody.com/10f2b1fd9layfousibglog7iaaaaabbuz3kgr6izhvyyaaaaa"><em>3-Day Cleanse</em></a> a &#8220;performance cleanse.&#8221; This is because it was designed to be done with a workout program. Let&#8217;s take a look at how this differs from other cleanses, how to tailor it to your needs, and what to expect if you or your customers decide to try it.</p>
<p>First of all, it&#8217;s not a true cleanse. It&#8217;s a calorie-restricted and nutrient-dense diet plan. Traditional cleanses contain very few calories and nutrients. Compared to the much more popular Master Cleanse, it&#8217;s like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Traditional cleansing diets are done to rid your system of toxins and bring it into homeostasis. They also contain a spiritual aspect. This process can take a long time, which is why you may have seen coworkers walking around the office in a zombie-like state for weeks on end—swilling a strange concoction of lemons and maple syrup.</p>
<p>The Shakeology cleanse is nothing like that. Depending on how you decide to do it, you&#8217;ll be eating frequently and consuming between 800 and 1,200 calories per day, and it could be even more should you feel the need. The point of this cleanse is not calorie restriction, per se—it&#8217;s nutrient efficiency. The aim is to get the most nutrients possible into the fewest number of calories. The goal is to put all of these calories to use as a part of your exercise program, to rid your body of undigested foods and toxins, and to bring your hydration levels into homeostasis. The result you&#8217;re after is not weight loss—though it will likely occur—but for your body to be running more efficiently. This should make you feel lighter and more energetic, even though you&#8217;re doing an exercise program.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>How It Works</strong><br />
 Your eating structure doesn&#8217;t change. You still eat every few hours while you&#8217;re awake. Each meal should have a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. And while you&#8217;re not eating as much food as you&#8217;d normally eat, your calorie-to-nutrient ratio is extremely high. This means that you shouldn&#8217;t restrict the actual nutrients you&#8217;re getting by too much, so activity can continue as normal.</p>
<p>We recommend you try to keep your shakes to just Shakeology. Adding fruits of any kind, or seeds (for fat and fiber), or the Shakeology Fiber supplement, can and should be done as you see fit.</p>
<p>Ditto for your one solid meal—a salad. As we all know from any salad bar, the definition of salad can be varied. The goal of the salad in the plan is to keep your calories coming from natural sources (no artificial ingredients should be added, including artificial salad dressing). Aside from that, you can add ingredients as necessary. Keep your meat intake to four ounces or less, but add veggies, seeds, nuts, fruits, and legumes in quantities to satiate you.</p>
<p>The goal of the Shakeology <em>3-Day Cleanse</em> is to optimize your performance. You want to eat enough to fuel your day AND your workout. The foods you&#8217;re eating are so high in fiber and nutrients that it&#8217;s virtually impossible to overeat. You&#8217;ll be consuming so much fiber, along with enzymes and digestive aids, that your body&#8217;s ability to flush excess foods quickly will be at its peak.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>What to Drink</strong><br />
 Water, of course, is recommended in quantity. This is vital to any cleanse, because one of your goals is to bring your hydration into homeostasis. When your electrolytes are out of balance—the main problem we have is salt—you often retain water outside of your cells. This situation, which we refer to as retaining water, is cured by drinking more water. As the excess salts are diffused, your body begins to hydrate your cells (using sodium as it should be used) and flush the water held outside the cells. So, oddly enough, you drink water to eliminate water retention.</p>
<p>Sodas, alcohols, juices, etc., should be eliminated entirely during a cleanse. Coffee and tea, which are diuretics, should be minimized at the very least and eliminated if possible. Again, performance is the key, so if you need a cup of Joe as a pick-me-up, go ahead. Just use only as needed, and don&#8217;t use additives. Eliminating sugar and chemicals is vital. However, do not use energy drinks or soda for this purpose, including the ones with artificial sweeteners. Coffee drinkers may find that switching to black tea during a cleanse will give you the energy you&#8217;re looking for with less upset. Coffee&#8217;s acidic nature can heighten the effects in a negative way during your cleanse.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Why You Won&#8217;t Lose Weight</strong><br />
 I should say why you <em>might not</em> lose weight, but I wanted to get your attention. Most people will lose some weight during a cleanse, but that is not the goal. Those with a lot of undigested gunk in their systems will lose weight as it&#8217;s flushed out. Those of you who are properly hydrated and already eat well are less likely to lose. For those of you who need to lose weight, take heart: you are setting up your system to use nutrients more efficiently and improving your ability to lose weight through structured diet and exercise. So while you may not lose much on the cleanse, you&#8217;ll be more prepared to lose weight later.</p>
<p>Another reason why we don&#8217;t always lose weight on cleanses is due to a stress hormone called cortisol. Restricting calories is stressful to the body, and it reacts by releasing cortisol. Cortisol is performance-enhancing in the short term, but if you somehow keep your body stressed for long periods, it creates havoc in your system and can cause you to doggedly hang onto weight in a type of survival mode. We don&#8217;t want this to occur, which is one reason the Shakeology <em>3-Day Cleanse</em> is short. It&#8217;s important not to remain in a highly calorie-deficient state for long periods of time, especially when you are trying to exercise hard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Shakeology FAQ’s – Part 2!</strong></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I’ve had so many great questions, as of late, about Shakeology®, so I figured I’d post them here to hopefully help others that may have the same inquires.  This is Part 2, so be sure to check out the original post – <a href="http://choose2befit.com/2009/04/19/shakeology%C2%AE-frequently-asked-questionsanswered/">Shakeology ® &#8211; Frequently Asked Questions….ANSWERED</a>.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  (Part 1) If I have one Shakeology a day, as suggested for my meal replacement, do I need to continue to take my multi-vitamin?</strong></p>
<p>A:  It depends.  If you are fairly active, meaning doing a high intensity program such as P90X, Insanity or ChaLEAN Extreme, your body is using up far more vitamins and nutrients, than a daily serving found in Shakeology.  So, in that case, you should continue with your daily Activit or multi-vitamin, although strongly suggested to take it at the same time you enjoy your Shakeology.  If you are doing a lower impact fitness regime, Shakeology should suffice with your daily vitamin  intake.  If you have further questions, always a good idea to consult your physician.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  (Part 2) If I take Activit (or any daily multi) each day, when is the best time to take that?  Before or after Shakeology?</strong></p>
<p>A:  During.  It’s strongly recommended to take your multi-vitamin with you Shakeology, as the digestive enzymes found in Shakeology, will aid your body in absorbing all of those nutrients, quicker, than if taken alone.  (NOTE: never a good idea to take a multi-vitamin on an empty stomach).</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  Can I really get free shipping?</strong></p>
<p>A:  YES!  Free shipping is available on all Home Direct (HD) orders for any of the Shakeology package options (Bulk bag or Individual Take N’ Go packets).  In addition to free shipping, on your first HD order, Beachbody will include 2 Free Shakeology Workouts – The 30 and The 50) and one more FREE gift!  BONUS!!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  I heard I could save some money by being a Coach.  What if I’m interested in saving the money, but not necessarily being a Coach? </strong></p>
<p>A:  No problem.  There are many Shakeology addicts (and I say that as a GOOD thing), that chose to become Coaches, strictly for the discount (25% discount).  Now, I’d be lying if I said they didn’t spread the word a bit here and there and make a few extra bucks themselves, by sharing their experience with Shakeology.  But, you certainly don’t have to be a “Coach” to be a “Coach” and get the discount.  Here’s how you could save $15/month as a Coach:</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Direct Customer Price: $119.95<strong>*</strong></p>
<p><strong>Coach Price (25% discount): $89.96* </strong></p>
<p>(Home Direct Orders = Free Shipping)</p>
<p>Initial Savings: $29.99</p>
<p>Monthly Coach fee: ($14.95)</p>
<p><strong><em>Overall SAVINGS: $15.04</em></strong></p>
<p><em>(*excludes tax, as applicable per state)</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>So aside from the initial Coach set up fee of $39.95 (which could be waived if they were to purchase a <a href="http://www.beachbodycoach.com/uploads/fckeditor/mdbody/File/downloads/coach_signup_tutorial_10_29_09.pdf">Shakeology Starter Kit</a>), you are still money ahead each month, with a savings of <strong>$15.04 per month</strong>.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Not to mention, as your friends/family start seeing a difference in your overall health, you will likely share what has aided in your new journey (just like you’d share a great new movie you saw, or restaurant you ate at) and can, in turn, earn a 25% commission by having your family/friends purchase Shakeology from YOU.  That&#8217;s close to $30 off one retail order!!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  What if I want to sample it.  Does Beachbody offer that?</strong></p>
<p>A:  Beachbody does not offer samples, although if you check with your Coach, they may offer a sample for you.  Personally, I offer all my customers and those interested in trying it, a 4-day Trial offer.  Click <a href="http://www.bit.ly/4Pack4U">HERE</a> to learn more and get your own.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  How can I find out more about the ingredients and what’s in it? <br />
 <a href="http://choose2befit.williamswp.com/files/2009/03/547_185x300_berry2.png"><img class="alignright" title="Shakeology" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4332453239_dcd672b50b_m.jpg" alt="" width="185" height="240" /></a></strong></p>
<p>A:  Go to my <a href="http://myshakeology.com/dare2befit">Shakeology</a> website and it will offer you all the ingredients, recipes (for both flavors) and testimonials to provide you with the confidence to try it yourself.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Q:  What if I don’t like it? </strong></p>
<p>A:  It’s rare that people don’t LOVE it, but if it doesn’t agree with you or you simply don’t care for it– NO PROBLEM!!  Beachbody offers a 30-Day Bottom of the bag money back guarantee.  Which basically means, return it for a full refund (minus shipping, if you ordered one time only).  100% risk free!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Although Shakeology aids in weight loss, lowering cholesterol/blood pressure, digestive issues, etc., there are some that it may not agree with!  As with any new nutritional product, if you have prior health issues, please consult with your physician.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #888888;">Unlike other “cleanses” and “fasts” they tend to strip the body of vital nutrients leaving opportunity to completely sabotage your body’s metabolism and energy, causing one to “bonk” and/or have massive fatigue.  Shakeology is packed with over 70 vital vitamins and nutrients that will keep your energy charged and immune system strong, all while providing a three day jump-start to looking and feeling better.  This is not a lifestyle option, as it’s too restrictive in calorie consumption, but after the 3-Day cleanse, you can incorporate Shakeology into your nutrition by substituting one full meal a day with it. ENJOY!</span></span></em><em> </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been asked this question in more ways than one, and after talking through it with each person, I decided to make a post about it – well and through great suggestion from a good friend.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Who doesn’t want more energy?</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I’m afraid people feel like they need to settle with the lack of energy, because they are killing themselves with a workout.  NOT TRUE!!!  Take care of your body, as you need that energy to successful burn the unwanted fat and build that much needed muscle.  Why?  Because <a href="http://choose2befit.com/2009/01/24/muscle-burns-fat/">MUSCLE BURNS FAT</a>!!  Sound familiar?</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>So, are you finding that you are bonking mid-day?  Having a hard time getting up in the morning after a workout the evening before?  Chances are, it’s due to your diet and lack of nutrients.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Not only is your diet a key variable in any successful workout regime, but also the proper supplementation.  We can get an abundant of your energy stimulation from the foods we eat, but chances are – are you really eating the right things?</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>For those of you that I’ve advised with particular Beachbody at home workout systems or helped guide with proper nutrition*, you know that I will always default to the nutrition guide that came with your workout system, whether it be <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/showcase/-/bcp/25219321001/11120/?referringRepId=11120">P90X®</a>, <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/showcase/-/bcp/25219364001/11120/?referringRepId=11120">ChaLEAN Extreme®</a>, <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/showcase/-/bcp/25227773001/11120/?referringRepId=11120">Insanity™</a> or <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/showcase/-/bcp/25219365001/11120/?referringRepId=11120">Slim in 6®</a>.  These nutrition guides were developed specifically for these programs, so do yourself a favor – and FOLLOW, USE AND ENJOY THEM!!!  The recipes are good and fairly easy, even I can make them!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDP90XDVDK38?referringRepId=11120"><img class="alignleft" src="https://extranet.securefreedom.com/MillionDollarBody/shopping/images/p90x2.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>If you don’t follow a specific workout regime or a nutrition plan, then this could very well be your problem.  If my experience, as a self-professed gym rat, prior to <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDP90XDVDK38?referringRepId=11120">P90X</a>, Insanity and all my new Beachbody favorites, I was at an all time low in the energy department, and I DIDN’T HAVE KIDS AT THE TIME!  Now I have kids and I have MORE energy than I ever have.  Why?  I eat appropriately, according to my workout regime and I have a workout regime that keeps changing.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>As many of you may know, I’m in the midst of training for my 2<sup>nd</sup> marathon, all while doing the newest <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDSANDVD2101?referringRepId=11120">Insanity™</a> workout system.  Well, if Insanity isn’t enough, trying to keep up with my energy to get training runs in each week, I have to be very careful and very particular about what I eat, so I don’t bonk.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, many of you are shaking your head saying “Shoot, if you workout that much, you can eat what you want”!  In my case, and the bulk of American’s, not so much.  If I were to eat what I wanted, I surely wouldn’t have the appropriate <a href="http://choose2befit.com/2009/01/28/when-carbs-are-your-friend/">protein/fat/carbohydrate ratio</a> to properly refuel before and after each workout.   So I need a balance.  That’s where my diet is key here.  This should go for everyone and anyone that is looking for results, good energy and success with their selected workout plan.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Now, as I say diet is the key to most any results, whether it be weight loss or muscle gain, so is proper supplementation.  Do you take a <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDSUPACTF30?referringRepId=11120">multi-vitamin</a>?  Do you take a <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDSUPJOINT30N?referringRepId=11120">Joint Support</a> supplement?  What about your daily <a href="http://www.shakeology.com/">nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, etc., etc.</a>?  These are all essential compliments to your diet, in order to sustain good energy to keep you going through the day.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Many know that I’m a big fan of Beachbody’s latest supplement creation, <a href="http://www.shakeology.com/">Shakeology®</a>, and won’t go a day without consuming it as either a meal replacement or as  <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDSUSH311G?referringRepId=11120"><img class="alignright" src="https://extranet.securefreedom.com/MillionDollarBody/shopping/images/shakeology%20thumb.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="108" /></a>a snack.  It’s A) DELICIOUS (check out the <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/web/shakeology/recipes-chocolate">recipes</a>) and B)  provides you with over 70 vital vitamins, nutrients, minerals, phytonutrients, prebiotics and a list of other words and terms we would otherwise NEVER use in our vocabulary.  But these are what provide your body with the fuel to keep and stay energized throughout the day, as it fulfills what the body lacks, as we work hard through our fitness program and just day-to-day life.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>So, to make a long post even longer, the moral to the story here is proper diet and supplementation (as it’s next to impossible – although not entirely – to get it all from diet) is essential to deliver results and sustain proper energy to avoid that mid-day BONK!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>As always, if I can help guide you in a direction towards good health, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>To your health &amp; fitness!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many questions that come with the many wonderful attributes of being a Beachbody Coach. I wanted to take the opportunity to post the most popular questions of what&#8217;s involved as a Beachbody Coach. If you have others, please send me a message and ask away &#8211; there are NO secrets to this business. NONE. ZIP. ZILCH.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.choose2befit.com/products"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-83" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs104.snc1/4892_92655637380_639857380_1855870_3983719_a.jpg" alt="Beachbody Programs" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>What is the Coach Business Opportunity?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a breakthrough income opportunity that lets you turn weight loss into profit. In order to make money, all you have to do is let people know about getting fit and losing weight with Beachbody’s best-selling line of products. You succeed by helping others succeed!</p>
<p><strong>Who is the company behind the Coach Business Opportunity?</strong></p>
<p>Beachbody is a successful 10-year-old, $250+–million corporation based in Southern California. We create and sell the nation’s most popular in-home fitness and weight-loss products – high-quality, well-manufactured DVD workout programs, gear, and nutritional supplements that have been proven to work. When you become a Beachbody Coach, you’re teaming up with a solid, stable company and a best-selling brand.</p>
<p><strong>How do I earn money?</strong></p>
<p>You get paid weekly commissions when people buy Beachbody products and Team Beachbody Club memberships through your personal website. You can also earn cash bonuses based on your team’s sales.</p>
<p><strong>What does it cost to begin?</strong></p>
<p>It only costs $39.95 to start a Beachbody business. That includes your first month’s Business Services Fees and your Coach Business Kit, which comes with everything you need to begin earning income.  There are, however, some great packages available that will kick start your business as a Coach.  The &#8220;Ultimate Starter Pack&#8221; (Best), &#8220;Coach Starter Pack&#8221; (Better) and &#8220;General Coach Starter Pack&#8221; (Good).</p>
<p><strong>Do I need to be a fitness expert?</strong></p>
<p>No, you don’t need to be a fitness or weight-loss expert to become a Beachbody Coach. You just need to be ready to commit to changing your life.</p>
<p><strong>Do I need to be a slick salesperson?</strong></p>
<p>Not at all – the fact is, just about everybody already wants to get fit or lose weight. And our products can get them there – we have thousands of real-life Success Stories to prove it! To make money as a Beachbody Coach, all you have to do is let people know that they can finally achieve the health, fitness, and weight-loss goals they’ve dreamed of.</p>
<p><strong>What kinds of help and support will I receive?</strong></p>
<p>Once you become a Beachbody Coach, you’ll be part of a whole network of successful Coaches who are there for you to learn from and share with. You’ll also get full access to your online office, which has everything you need to market and manage your business with ease – including your own sales website and email account, a full set of sales and marketing tools, and extensive training guides and videos. In addition, our Coach Relations team is available to answer your questions via email or over the phone. And you’ll have a Coach of your own for extra motivation and guidance.</p>
<p><strong>Will I have to purchase products for resale?</strong></p>
<p>Unlike marketing programs that require you to buy a lot of products in order to participate, the Coach Opportunity has no inventory requirements. If you do want to purchase products for your own use or resale, you’ll get them at a significant discount.</p>
<p><strong>Will I have to handle product inventory, billing, shipping, or customer service?</strong></p>
<p>No – when customers purchase products through your website, we take care of the rest.</p>
<p><strong>Is it easy to set up my website?</strong></p>
<p>Setting up and customizing your Beachbody Coach Website is low-tech and simple! We provide you with an easy-to-use system that allows you to add text and photos (or you can just use ours), and you can choose from a number of Beachbody marketing banners to help make sure your site is viewed.</p>
<p><strong>How does Beachbody promote its products?</strong></p>
<p>We spend millions of dollars every week advertising our home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen our famous infomercials for programs such as P90X, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs, as well as our magazine and Internet ads.) Millions of people already know about Beachbody, and every time we run an infomercial, we get thousands of new customers. We want those customers to shop through your store, so you get the commission on those sales!</p>
<p><strong>How much of a discount will I get on my own Beachbody products?</strong></p>
<p>As Beachbody Coach, you receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products available in the Team Beachbody store.</p>
<p>There are many more excellent questions and much more I&#8217;d love to share about this business that has changed my life and could change yours, or someone near and dear to you!  Learn more about this ultimate fitness revolution by viewing this short <a title="video clip" href="http://www.winningstride.info">video clip</a>.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3425256870_b882f58ed0_o.jpg"></a></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"> <span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">I mean, how can one measly shake be chalked full the proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutritents, prebiotics and digestive enzymes, one needs per day to be healthy?<span>  </span>I don’t think I even knew what ½ of those terms really meant, let alone consumed them on a regular basis.<span>  </span>Aren’t we suppose to get that from “real” food?<span>  </span>Of course we are, but like many, it’s rare that I can stomach enough of the nutritional value in one day to achieve this (10 some cups of raw food), let alone find the time and expense to prepare it.<span>  </span>But, I know it’s an essential part of eating and living healthy.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">So as a <a href="http://www.choose2befit.com/become-a-beachbody-coach">Beachbody® Coach</a>, I knew that this looming product dubbed to be the “healthiest meal of the day” was moments from being launched.<span>  </span>What was all the buzz about??<span>  </span>We were about to find out at the 2<sup>nd</sup> Annual Dream Extreme Beachbody® Coaches Summit (check out the </span><a href="http://gallery.mac.com/beachbodytv"><span style="font-family: Calibri;color: #0000ff">gallery photos</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri">).<span>  </span>They basically laid out the red carpet for the launch of this product, and rightly so.<span>  </span>After experiencing it for my very first time, I could see the reason behind Carl Daikeler’s, CEO to Beachbody®, excitement.<span>  </span>He, and many others, had worked DAMN hard on concocting the perfect ingredients to allow for this to be, truly, the healthiest meal of the day.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Carl has many things in common with us Coaches, the first obvious one being that we are all passionate about fitness and helping others get healthy, and, second, that most of us care not to eat our vegetables, let alone the amount required to get a fraction of what Shakeology® offers, for our daily nutritional value. After many long hours and trips to various countries to capture the finest ingredients, he was finally ready to allow his trusted front line, sample it before it was released to the rest of the Team Beachbody® community and general public. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">It was phenomenal.<span>  </span>There are two flavors to Shakeology: Greenberry and Chocolate.<span>  </span>Both are packed with a punch that will instantly give you the gratification of a full meal and immediate spike in natural energy.<span>  </span>Many of us turn to coffee to get our energy, buy by starting the day off with a blended shake, has given me enough energy to keep up with my two busy kids.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Ok, much hype and edification to Shakeology®, so here’s the scoop on it:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">How does it work??</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">A daily shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today&#8217;s highly processed foods.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">What is in it?</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">More than 70 different ingredients chosen from around the world for their potency and bioavailability (the ability to deliver the nutrients your body needs). Here are the key nutrient groups that these ingredients deliver:*</span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Protein and Essential Amino Acids to help build long, lean muscles and reduce food cravings</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes, which aid in improving digestion, regularity, and nutrient absorption</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Antioxidants and Phytonutrients to help counteract free radical damage that can lead to degenerative diseases</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">Vitamins and Minerals your body needs to function for optimal health</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin: 0in 0in 5.75pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">TESTIMONIALS (Independent Study 90-day study, where participants replaced one meal a day with Shakeology®)*</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt">Here&#8217;s what they said:</span></strong></span></p>

<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">&#8220;I felt a better sustained energy throughout the day.&#8221;</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">&#8220;I have tons of energy. I feel so healthy!&#8221;</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">&#8220;I replaced all my vitamin supplements. I felt healthy and energized.&#8221;</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">&#8220;I have more energy, less cravings, more endurance, and feel more youthful.&#8221;</span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri">&#8220;I have tried a lot of protein shakes and meal-replacement-type drinks, and Shakeology is the best tasting of them all. I mix it with a bit of soy milk and ice, and it tastes like an ice cream shake!&#8221;</span></span></li>
