You can also use the many tools and resources (trainer tips, caloric needs calculator, meal plans, shopping lists) to help your clients achieve better results.

If I become a Beachbody coach, am I still eligible for the daily WOWY prizes? YES! Coaches are also eligible to win the daily, monthly and annual prizes!! How cool is that?! Not only can you grow your business potential as a coach, but you are also eligible to win prizes with the rest of the wonderful Team Beachbody community!!

Remember: 1. With the 25% coaches discount, your savings on products more than make up for the $15.95 monthly fee. For example, if you purchase vitamins (Activit, Omega 3, Calcium), supplements (P90X Recovery and Results Formula or whey protein) and/or use Shakeology, the discount on that more than makes up for the $15.95.

2. You really DO change lives. It is so rewarding to help people help themselves. Sometimes you have to believe in them before they believe in themselves, but once they see results--it is fantastic!

3. Nothing will do more for your own motivation than becoming a coach. When you put yourself in the position of being a role model, you WANT to be that person. It is another great way to hold yourself accountable.

Even if you are just starting your fitness journey, you will see yourself as being healthier because you are a fitness coach. Other people will notice that you are putting in an effort and making a lifestyle change. Whether you have lost 5 pounds or 105 pounds, friends and family will look at the effort you are making at becoming a healthy role model and respect you for that.

A mistake some people make is that they think "I can't be a coach because I haven't lost much weight yet." Many people will relate to you just the way you are. Most people struggle to push play and eat healthfully. People will look up to you precisely because you are in the same shoes that they are, but you are taking control and doing something about it.

Because you have chosen to become a coach, your own fitness results will become better than you've ever seen before!! People don't often write about this benefit of coaching, but we guarantee, it is real!

Common Concerns
I am not at my ideal weight or fitness level yet. You don’t have to be at your ideal weight or fitness level. It could even be better that you are going through the process. First, it will help hold you accountable! Secondly, as you go through your transformation, people will begin to take notice and ask you about what you are doing to lose weight and get in shape. This presents a perfect opportunity for you to share about Beachbody products and/or the coaching opportunity.

One coach wrote: "I used to think that way, too. In fact I was about 20 pounds over my ideal weight when I started with Beachbody. What I discovered is that people could see the bigger picture when I explained to them that I am committed to getting in the best shape of my life, and that I am part of a large community of like-minded individuals who are all going through the same thing."

Is this one of those pyramid things? This is one of the most common concerns. Beachbody is a well-established infomercial company that has been around for 10 years. In 2006, it earned $139 million dollars in revenue and in 2008, that number more than doubled to $300 million. These figures are only projected to grow. Entrepreneur Magazine rated Beachbody the 69th fastest growing business in America for 2007. Moreover, Beachbody spends over $90 MILLION dollars in advertising each year, which currently generates about 50,000 PAYING customers each WEEK! That's 3 million transactions annually. This is great news for coaches. Beachbody started the new Team Beachbody network marketing division because they wanted their customers to get a free Coach to help them with their health and fitness goals – and they give these paying customers to us! So, just like the other almost 30,000 coaches who are part of Team Beachbody, I am sure you can see that this is a legitimate home-based business that you can be proud to be associated with.

I don’t like to sell. Most of us feel the same way! We don't like to sell and the good news is that we don't sell! Being a coach is about sharing information with others, in regard to both the fitness & nutrition products and the business opportunity. If you notice, the person who invited you to visit this website simply provided you with a link to the information on this site. You are the one who will decide if this business opportunity is right for you or not. We will not push or try to sell you on this business.

Talking to people about what Beachbody has to offer is kind of like going to a movie or a restaurant, and then sharing the good or bad information regarding your experience with your family and friends. Do you feel like you are SELLING your family or friends when you tell them you had a great meal at a restaurant or saw a really good movie? Of course not! It’s the same way with this business. You are just sharing some information with others about what Beachbody has done for you; it's up to them to decide what to do with that information.

Our town is too small for me to succeed. Ten or fifteen years ago that could have been a problem however, with the advent of the Internet you have the whole world at your fingertips. Plus, network-marketing experts have noted that the typical person knows over 1,000 people. Most people have friends, acquaintances, and relatives all over the country. Plus, when you join with our team we will teach you how to do different types of marketing to generate your own leads. As a Beachbody coach, you may be in business for yourself, but you are not in business by yourself. You will be part of a team who will help you reach your fitness and financial goals.

I don’t have the time to do this. You can start in as little as 5 - 10 hours a week, and the great thing about network marketing is that you are leveraging other people's time. How much time do you spend watching TV or doing other activities? We can show you how to use time-management skills, and you’ll discover that you actually do have time for this.

I can’t afford to join right now. There is no risk in checking things out for the first 30 days. If you put in a little effort you could have your start-up costs paid for before your 30 days are up and maybe even make some money. In truth, you can't afford NOT to join. We are still on the ground floor of this business. We understand that it can be tough for some people to come up with $100 to get started as an Independent Beachbody coach. Many of our coaches realized that they were able to find ways to cut back on expenses such as movies, eating out, cable, and other things for a couple months until they started making some money. Cutting back on these expenses now could open the door to a secure financial future.

Why Eating Animals Makes Everything Easier - By Mark Sisson

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-eating-animals-makes-everything-easier/

Last time, I broke down the faulty Carb Paradigm we live in.

In case you need one, here’s a quick refresher:

Overweight people with faulty carbohydrate metabolisms are told (by doctors, by government officials, by dietitians) to eat more carbohydrates and less fat.

They do it (carb consumption as a percentage of total caloric intake has increased in line with the obesity epidemic, moreso than either fat or protein). They eat carbs and reduce fat intake.

Because their insulin-resistant bodies can’t handle carbs well, they produce lots of insulin to get over the hump. Only problem? Those carbs aren’t sequestered into insulin-sensitive muscle glycogen stores as energy, because the muscle is insulin-resistant. Meanwhile, the excessive insulin prevents the burning of fat, and any extra fat and carbs from the meal are instead sequestered into fat cells. People get fatter.

Since the food isn’t being used and is instead being stored away for later use, the body thinks it’s starving and gets hungrier as a result. People eat more carbs.

The cycle continues uninterrupted.

But no more. It stops here. I think it’s time we shift toward a new paradigm. It’s actually a rather old, classic paradigm that’s been forgotten – but it’s still as valid as ever.

It’s time for the Fat Paradigm. It’s time to start burning fat as fuel. It’s time to move away from sugar burning.

You see, fat is the perfect fuel for us. It’s efficient. It burns clean. And it’s the type of fuel our bodies like to burn. Otherwise, why else would we store it on our bodies for lean times?

That’s what people miss about body fat. It’s not just “there” because we messed up and our body has nowhere to put it. Body fat, or adipose tissue, is stored energy. Sure, the obese have way too much body fat, but the fact is that our bodies evolved the ability to put fat into fat cells because it is effective fuel.

The problem is that many of us are broken. Sedentary living, modern food toxins, too much stress, not enough sleep, and a distinct lack of play for play’s sake (more on this later, if you’re confused about why I’d rank “play” with all the other stuff) have fundamentally changed the way we process fuel. Many of us can’t even access the stored fat, instead running on sugar (and poorly at that). All that stored energy – body fat – is going to waste.

So, if you’re overweight or obese, chances are you’re broken. And – at least for the time being until you’re healed – excess carbohydrates are making the problem worse.

But you can be fixed. You don’t need doctors or medication or expensive treatments. You just need to start accessing your body fat and burning fat for fuel.

By converting to an animal fat-based metabolism, you are returning to the ancestral human fuel source. And the best way to switch to fat burning is to start eating more animals and whatever fat comes with them.

Animal fat, especially from ruminants like beef, lamb, and bison, comes with roughly equal proportions of saturated and monounsaturated fats, with a little bit of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats. Interestingly, your own animal fat – the fat deposited on your body and the fat that your body is designed to burn for energy in lean times – comes with very similar ratios. It’s almost as if animal fat is good for us!

Which brings me to my main point of today’s article: eating animals simply makes everything easier.

With animals, you get healthy animal fat. You get protein, important for building muscles and keeping you full. You get all the micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals that the animal ate, in a form that your body can absorb. It’s the perfect package of nutrition for a fat burner.

Now, I don’t hate carbohydrate. They can be useful and even beneficial in certain cases. Eat carbs when you need fuel for endurance activities. Don’t eat carbs just because; eat them because you need the energy. Because you’re actually active and they won’t go to waste.

Otherwise?

Fat is your friend.

Fat will fuel your everyday activities, your walking, your shopping, your working and reading. Fat can even provide the bulk of the energy required by your brain. Your brain still needs glucose, mind you, but becoming metabolically healthy will allow you to access both glucose and fat for energy.

Bottom line: if you’re overweight, you’re not utilizing the energy stored on your body. Switching over to the Fat Paradigm and a fat-based diet will unlock that stored body fat and allow you to use what you’ve already got (plus carbohydrates, when and if you eat them). But if you remain entrenched in the Carb Paradigm, your body never gets the message to start accessing body fat for energy.

If you need to lose weight, start by cutting back on carbs and eating more animals (and their fat). That’s all it takes to enter the Fat Paradigm and start burning fat, and it’s as easy (and delicious) as it sounds.
