What are you missing?

Do you feel like life is just kind of passing you by? Do you feel like something is missing? Many people think that they can only take it easy and enjoy life when they become wealthy.  Of course this isn’t true. There are many things that we can do every day to enjoy life and they will not cost a penny. The key to enjoying life is to take a look at what makes you happy and to look back at earlier times and reflect on what made you happy then. These things are probably basic and simple and taken for granted by us every day.

Here are just a few things to consider:

• Get together with old friends – go visit old friends. Spend a day with them and catch up on what has been going on in their lives. If you’re not able to travel, call them up on the telephone. A voice from the past can be a great feeling.
• Go to the movies occasionally – I certainly don’t recommend going to the movies every week but going once a month or every two months can be a special treat for you or you and the family. It’s a little special quality time.
• Read a book – spend a day just reading in a room alone. Just relax and enjoy it.
• Be an amateur photographer – you don’t have to be Ansel Adams to enjoy photography. Just grab your camera and hit the door. Find a nice scenic area or just go for a walk in the park. It’s up to you.
• Play a game with your family – this can be a huge amount of fun and the skies the limit. Play and old board game, or a yard game, even though I don’t recommend most video games as “quality family time”, the Wii and Xbox 360 Kinects can really be fun for the whole family because it requires interaction and movement.
• Go for a walk in the country with your family – so relaxing and peaceful in the country. Some of my best ideas come from just a leisurely stroll.

Well that’s just a few ideas. I plan to expand this into a full article later that will be published to my website (www.yourfitbody.net), on a later date and to other online publications. So for now, just relax and enjoy life.

Product Review - Food Matters

As everybody knows, when it comes to fitness I look in all directions. I look for things that will not only help me and my family but anyone else who wants to benefit from it.  A couple of months ago while relaxing in bed, we decided to watch a movie on Netflix. While we browsed we came upon a documentary called "FoodMatters". Little did we know it would forever changed the way we looked at health.

Product Review - Fit Freeze (Re-Write)

Hey Everyone!!!

I just thought I would do a quick post to let everyone know I did a re-write of my Fit Freeze review from several months ago. I added more detail so hopefully it will be a little more helpful to those who are looking at possible purchasing the product in the future. I make nothing off of Fit Freeze and am in NO WAY affiliated with them. It's just my opinion of a product on the market.

For the complete review go to TeddyCrouch.com, our NEW home.

End of the month update

Hey Everyone!!!!

I thought I would jump on here and give everyone a quick update.

Just a few days ago, we launched our new website, Your FitBody. It still has a long ways to go to reach the level we are shooting for so please bare with us. At this point the site is very basic and only has a few pages but we will be adding to it regularly.

We're hoping to get some testimonials and before/after pics from some of our Fit Team to add to the site, to show just what can be accomplished if you just set your mind to it and put forth the initiative. I will be placing my results on there as well, not only  the Insanity pics but where I actually started at (192 lbs.) while I was in Afghanistan. A few of my buddy's from over there remember how fat and out of shape I was, especially for my height . . . or lack there of.

In celebration of the site launch we have some great things planned but to find out about them, you will have to come join me at my TEAM site.

As many of you have seen, we are heavily advertising the Shakeology offered by Beachbody. I have been seeing SO many people complaining of being sick lately. THIS is a GREAT way to combat that. It still baffles me how so many people can take their health for granted. I urge each and every one of you to take a look at it. My father-in-law just recently starting drinking Shakeology. He lost 17lbs. in the first 5 days. That is remarkable considering he is only replacing 1 meal per day with the MOST nutritious product on the market.

I'd love to hear from everyone out there. Stop in at Your FitBody and take a look around or simply come join my TEAM by signing up for a 100% FREE account.Share us with your friends.

Take care and Stay safe!!!

Product Review - Insanity®

On February 13^th of this year, I started on a journey I could barely imagine starting in the first place and let alone finishing. I jumped into Beachbody’s most intense workout to date . . . Insanity®. Insanity is a 60 day heart pounding, sweat dripping, cardiovascular journey and a journey it was.

Who’s responsible?

I remember growing up, our meals were certainly not healthy but we played hard enough during recess that we burned it off. Then after school we went home and did our homework and outside we went. On the weekends it was the same, get up and watch Saturday morning cartoons and we then, suddenly disappeared outside with our friends.It is no wonder that our kids are getting fat at an alarming rate.

“It is estimated that almost 34% of adults are obese and as well as approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are as well.”

Product Review – Shakeology

So as everyone knows, I am a bit of fitness nut. I have enough passion for it that not only became a Certified Personal Trainer but also a Team Beachbody Coach. As part of my fitness quest, I have consumed my fair share of protein powders and meal replacements powders (MRP). I’ve been drinking them since them original Met-Rx hit the market. Met-Rx was great but what most people do not realize is that due to cost, when they changed it from the original 2 packet (base and a mix) they also changed the formula.

There are many MRP’s on the market today and as I said, I have tried a ton of them. Since joining the Beachbody team I have started drinking Shakeology. Shakeology is made by Beachbody and sold by itself or as part of challenge packs along with the program of your choice. Believe me when I say this, I am not trying to sell you on a product for sake of a sell. I am a firm believer in telling the truth and representing the truth, no matter what it might be. Even though Beachbody has many programs and supplements, if I feel a client is not suited for them, then I let them know upfront and we look for an alternative. With that being said, here is my review:

               

When I first placed my order for ShakeO as we call it, I was a little reluctant. Everyone was bragging about the taste, saying it was the best tasting and most nutritious MRP on the market. I’ve tried MANY through the years and have tasted some pretty good products. In order to get a fair assessment, I ordered a mix box which contains 12 Chocolate and 12 Greenberry. The order comes with a recipe calendar with various ways to alter your shakes. I started with plain ole Greenberry. I mixed it with 8 oz. of vanilla Almond Milk. The texture was just great. It was smooth and a really pretty color J. The flavor was a very mild fruit taste. It tasted really good but you could tell that its lightness makes it perfect for accepting other flavors. . . and it does. I have tried a few variations and all have been really good. Now to the chocolate. Normally, I am not a chocolate protein drink kind of person. I find most chocolate proteins to be too rich and too chocolaty with the exception of EAS’ Milk Chocolate protein. Chocolate Shakeology surprised me. It actually had a great taste and texture and comes with some really good recipes. As far as being the best tasting on the market . . . I’m not really sure about that in its natural form but it has some really great recipes that do make it the best I have ever tasted. 

 The great thing about ShakeO is the nutritional value. It contains all natural ingredients that other MRP’s do not have. For instance Maca, is a natural root that gives you a boost in the libido and can be used in eliminating menopause symptoms. Spirulina, is considered the best overall natural protein source and the list goes on and on. So even if it is a little expensive, it takes the place of an entire meal and brings in nutrients that others do not. Substituting just 1 meal per day can help you lose up to 10lbs.I have to say, I am pleased overall. I give it 4 out 5 stars and recommend it to those interested in getting into shape and losing weight.
