Why I Don't Go To the Gym
Treadmills, ellipticals, and stairmasters...oh my!
This may be the only thing that I like about treadmills:
So, I need to explain the following sentence more clearly, but I find it necessary to start with it because it's liberating: Going to a gym sucks the life out of me. There I said it. The machines, oh, the machines. The fluorescent lights. The bank of silent televisions forever on CNN, Fox News, and a channel that I can seem to ever figure out what it is. Ever try working out with Fox News on? Like I need another reason to be frustrated with the way things are. So, now I'm aggravated at the arrogance allowed on national television AND I have to lose some weight. How is this helpful at all? Treadmills are easily the most obvious form of self-torture. Do I really need Fox News at that moment in my life?
After about 14 years of going to the gym, paying their membership fees, dealing with lots of naked middle aged men in the locker room, and grunting, sweaty men, I left my plastic barcode keyring thingy behind and started with P90X. Here's what I found...1) I finally had a structure that worked! My body was finally changing for the better, something that I was never really that successful with in gyms, 2) I had more time now that I was working out at home...workouts went from 1.5-2 hours at the gym with travel time to 45-60 minutes, and 3) I was SAVING MONEY because I wasn't paying for gym memberships. I did pick up some free weights and a pull up bar for the doorway, but even after doing all that, I was still saving money. I could play my own music, take a shower without a middle-aged hairy guy near me, and get actual results. Seriously...why does anyone subject themselves to gyms?
That said, I know that many still do go to the gym even though they are doing P90X or another Beachbody fitness program. If that's what you're into, enjoy! I know there are cool things at some gyms like a pool, hot tub, and racquetball court. But, the structure is really the most important thing. You need muscle confusion, and once I had that solidly present in my workout schedule, I was in good shape...literally. For most of us, it's hard to really get that kind of knowledge and free support at gyms. P90X was sooooo good for me. It really worked. Looking forward to P90X2!!
As always, you can order P90X, P90X2, and much more right here! http://www.beachbodycoach.com/drkurtlove

After the Storm...
It's been quite a while since I wrote a blog, so I'm back on it! Still doing well. I did have a couple of weeks of not too much working out in the last month or so. We had a major snowstorm just before Halloween, which wiped out pretty much the whole state of CT. I was outside shoveling during the storm and I could hear tree after tree snapping apart. It was the freakiest thing! I kept thinking that is was the Smoke Monster from Lost...but I digress. Something like 830,000 homes were without power, which was crazy.
In any case after the storm and getting out to a conference, it was quite a challenge to get back into the regular routine of working out. I wish I could have worked out during all of that, but there just wasn't any way to make it happen because I was too busy helping take care of fallen trees, gathering firewood to keep the house warm and getting things done while there was still sunlight. It's amazing how much we take for granted with the technology that we have. In any case, I've been working out pretty steadily the last couple of weeks again, and after weighing myself yesterday, I managed to somehow drop another pound! I am down 25 lbs total so far! How cool is that! I'm doing a P90X/Insanity hybrid...made up my own schedule. I think it's better than the one that they offer on teambeachbody.com to be honest. I'm rather proud of it, especially since I came up with it before they made their own. If you want a copy of it, just contact me. I'll be happy to share it. Either way, I'm building muscle, losing weight (slower, but still losing it), and definitely seeing some good differences in how my body looks. Will post new pictures soon!
So, how has this helped me understand my mind-body-connection? Since the summer, I've been working out consistently, and I have felt much, much more in balance and in harmony with what is around me. After stopping workouts for about two weeks, I noticed that I was way more inclined to eat foods that are not good for me, I felt more stressed, and I was not as happy as usual. It's just that simple. Moving the body is very much at the root of being balanced. I need to continually push my body and truly challenge it to feel more balanced and more connected to what is around me. In a way, it's like I'm able to beat up my ego a little bit to a point where I can feel more rooted and centered. It was an inadvertent little experiment, but an important existential one for me nonetheless!

Train in the Snow or Train with a Pro!
I couldn't help it...
In lieu of being able to practice in the Caucus Mountains in the dead of winter...
I'm choosing to work out like a fiend with P90X and Insanity!
However, I'm quite giddy about working out using P90X2 in the very near future! I'm pretty sure it was rooted in a Siberian theory of exercise science. I'll have to look that up and get back to you, though ;-)

Get Fit. Get Paid.
Many, many BeachBody Coaches are out there sharing their stories about why they became a BeachBody Coach, and the stories and reasons are very, very similar...and that's actually a good thing. I, like so many, decided that this was a great way to not only build a business, but get out into the community in a different way. My day job is as an assistant professor in a teacher education program at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. I already do quite a bit of work in the community supporting teachers, students, and families. However, I find that this is a very intense setting with tensions all over the place. Education is a very stressful place to be these days, and sadly, I feel like the reward of being a teacher is being lost so quickly. For me, becoming a BeachBody Coach was a great step! I am able to connect with people so quickly in our community through health fairs, road races, festivals, etc. when I set up my booth and talk to people. I love it. I also love writing these blogs on the off chance that someone might read them!
Here's my story...
Basically, my grandparents died in their late 60's because of very unhealthy practices. My wonderful mother, who I love dearly also, has struggled with being overweight, and she knows, as well as I do, how important it is for the both of us to take care of our bodies because of our family history. So, over the summer of 2011, I did INSANITY and lost 17 lbs, which for me, was phenomenal. I started drinking Shakeology, too, which was a tremendously positive effect on my nutritional habits and mindset. It literally stopped my cravings for junk food, sweets, and salt. It was amazing. My wife, Katie, who is also a BeachBody Coach, had a 30+ point drop in her cholesterol, which was a first for her! It's really amazing the kind of changes that happened to me and Katie, so for us, there was no question of whether or not we should do this business (by the way, she's also a professor...so if you're thinking that time is an issue, you don't get much busier than us two...did I mention we have a 1 year old, too?). Even if all that ever happened was to get our 25% discounts on Shakeology every month, I was happy. However, we're not stopping there...
Chalene Johnson Says It All
Below is a great video from Chalene Johnson, one of the fitness instructors with BeachBody. She has put together TurboJam, ChaLEAN Extreme, and TurboFire for BeachBody. Her enthusiasm for this company is contagious and truly insirational!
It's a business, but it's more than a business. If anyone thinks that this is a get-rich-quick process, they will be sadly disappointed. I work every day (happily, by the way) on building my BeachBody business, and if anything, it's a fairly slow building process that has long-term pay offs. You have to have the long view with BeachBody. The supports early on are very good, but it's definitely work for sure. What you sow is what you reap with this business.
That said, it's a passion of labor for me. I've seen a huge change in my own views and practices of health and wellness because now it's a business. I connect meaningful with strangers on a fairly regular basis, and it keeps me off the streets ;-) Okay, that's a lie...I'm actually on the streets talking to people more often! That's a good thing, though.
There's real meaning to this work because it is about helping people become healthier and healthier. There's a real reward to it. Contact me at drkurtlove@gmail.com any time if you'd like to do this truly inspirational work!

Getting Healthy Means Getting High Quality Nutrients
A friend and I were talking the other day. He said that he spent the summer out of the U.S. and lost 12 pounds. I asked him what he did differently. He said nothing. All he did was eat the food that was in the other country, which was Venezuela. About a month after being back, he said that he gained back at least 10 of those pounds.
For many, this is a common story. Leave the U.S., lose some weight, return, and gain the weight. It's like someone is saying, "Welcome back to the U.S. Here's your 10 pounds," upon arrival. How is this possible? Well, whatever it is certainly explains the big problem we have in the U.S. with obesity, which is now an epidemic. Add the fact that there is 25% less nutrition available in foods grown in the U.S. than in the past. Getting nutritionally dense foods is almost impossible, and basically totally infrequent. In the world's home of superconsumerism, it should be of no surprise that for-profit food companies rely on a steady stream of sugar, salt, and fat to form addictions in the consumers in order to keep selling their products. Obesity, the root cause of a death every 7 seconds in the U.S., is a likely outcome of these practices.
"Cherry-Flavored" Does NOT Actually Mean That It Has Fruit In It
We have steadily lost our knowledges of food and food preparation due in large part to heightened corporate/consumerist practices. Food preparation consists of using chemically preserved food-like substances that come from a box. Whole foods are less often used, and even when they are, they come from corporate farms that have used high concentrations of antibiotics (that are making diseases stronger and harder to fight off), do vast amounts of physical abuses to animals (like cutting off chicken's beaks, providing insufficient living space for animals, and harbor high rates of illness), and provide horrible working conditions for migrant workers (whose life expectancies are at 47 years of age in the U.S.). This is a country that puts high-fructose corn syrup in as many products as possible. It's in bread, for crying out loud! Seriously, read the labels. Companies like Monsanto genetically modify seeds so that there is no viable seeds produced after the plant is grown. These are called "terminator seeds." Lastly, the amount of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides dumped into water supplies are the leading causes of water pollution all over the country. There is a real food and nutrition crisis in the United States that goes completely unnoticed by most, but it is literally killing us.
Options For Getting High Quality Nutrients
I decided to become a BeachBody Coach in order to promote two things: fitness and nutrition. There are few food-based options that provide high quality nutrients any more. That is the sad fact currently. However, the best option that I've found is Shakeology. Shakeology is actually the primary reason why I decided to become a person who turned to the business side of BeachBody, the parent company of popular fitness programs like P90X, 10-Minute Trainer, Insanity, etc. When I finally committed myself to pursuing a healthier nutritional path, I took a serious look at Shakeology. There are many reasons why someone might make Shakeology one of their meals every single day. Below is a video of doctors discussing the super nutrient-rich shake that is Shakeology.
Shakeology is no joke one of, if not the single healthiest thing you can put into your body. I have seen an amazing transformation in my own life while using it. In one month's time, I went 180 degrees with my nutrition because of Shakeology. I was absolutely addicted to cookies, muffins, doughnuts, burgers, chips, fries, chocolate, soda, and the list goes on. After one month of having Shakeology once a day, I feel AMAZING! I have less problems with my bowels. I have way more energy. I have lost 21 pounds so far. My wife who has always been above 200 with her cholesterol is now at 167. I can't say enough about how this has changed my life for the better.
11 Facts About Shakeology:
1. Meal Replacement: Arguably the most nutritious, healthiest meal of the day. Replace one meal per day. Eat healthy meals for the rest of the day. Other shakes tend to be low calorie, high in sugar, and higher in fat making you feel falsely full. With Shakeology, it feels like you’ve eaten an actual meal, but you don’t feel bloated.
2. Nutritionally Potent Ingredients: Over 70 ingredients (like sacha inchi, goji berry, cinnamon, chia, and astragulis) that are purposely chosen for their nutritional potency (antioxidants, phytonutrients, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and protein).
3. Vitamins: 26 vitamins, minerals, 6 of which are at 100%, phytonutrients, contains all amino acids. Protein: 18 grams (compared to 2g for Slim Fast), Fat: Very low, Omega-3 fatty acids are good for brain, heart, and weight loss
4. Calories: 140 (snack) - 400 (meal replacement), 60 recipes included with Shakeology, and you can see more on teambeachbody.com
5. Cholesterol: Has been shown to lower cholesterol, as well as raise good and lower bad cholesterol. Contains wheat grass, oat grass, barley grass = balanced cholesterol levels
6. Gluten-Free: Uses grasses, not grains.
7. Low on the glycemic index: The glycemic index is a way of measuring the impact that food has on the bloodstream by the amount of sugar that is dumped into it. Shakeology rates at a 24 on the glycemic index, which means a slower, steadier burn with no sudden crash afterwords. Shakeology is very good for people with diabetes or those who are prediabetic for this reason.
8. Overcome Cravings: Cravings for sugar, fat, and salt decrease significantly
9. Small Farmers: Many ingredients come from other continents, and support local farmers and local economies.
10. Free Workout Videos: Comes with two free workout DVDs (regularly $29.95) that focus on light to moderate activity with weights and cardio.
11. $4/day which is about the cost of a meal from the grocery store (half the cost of a fast food meal)

Finished INSANITY!!
This is my video of when I finished the workout program INSANITY. I've seen great results, lost 17 lbs, and I feel so much better. Still working on getting to my goals, but I am so excited about how far I've gone already. You can do this, too. You can be healthier and feel better about yourself, even if you're already in good shape. I'll be happy to help. You can reach me at http://beachbodycoach.com/DrKurtLove
Here is a video showing the amazing program that I used. IT'S INSANE!!
After watching this, you might think that you can't do this or any intense program. I do understand that. I did not start this program as the basic calendar that comes with it suggests. I took about 3 weeks to warm up to it. Can you do this? If you don't have serious injuries, you should be able to get into this program. Definitely check with your healthcare professional if you have questions, but don't get scared away. You do not have to be in good shape to do this. INSANITY will get you there. It's just like in yoga that you go to your own personal max and grow from there.
So, what did I use?
I used INSANITY, SHAKEOLOGY, and RESULTS and RECOVERY FORMULA, all of which you can find at: http://www.beachbodycoach.com/drkurtlove
Why Shakeology?
Shakeology is simply the healthiest thing you can put into your body. There are 70 ingredients that are deliberately chosen because they are the Earth's superfoods like sacha inchi, goji berries, cinnamon, chia, astralugis, and so much more. The point here is to start with a solid foundation of nutrients in your body, control cravings, decrease cholesterol, and keep increasing overall health. This is no joke the single healthiest meal of the day if you use it as a meal replacement. It has changed me, and Everyone should be thinking about and getting this level of nutrition into their body on a regular basis. Shakeology is the easiest way to do it, and easily the cheapest at $4/day.
Why Results and Recovery Formula?
First, what is the Results and Recovery Formula? When you work out, and especially when you max your muscles out like I did in Insanity, muscles exhaust and use up their supplies of muscle-based sugars called glycogens. Whereas most people think that adding sugar to one's diet as being bad and leading to the increase of fat, during and after exercise are the only times when those sugars are needed. When replenishment of sugars takes place quickly for exhausted muscles, they recover much quicker with much less damage...plain and simple. If you're thinking that no sugar intake is the only way to think about sugar, then think again. It's more about how and really when you go about taking in sugar.
What's Next?
There are many options for someone like me who just finished a program like Insanity. You might like to take it a step further and try INSANITY: THE ASYLUM, or you could do a hybrid program with P90X, which is what I am doing now (since making the video for YouTube, I decided to do the hybrid). You can sculpt your body with RevABS. There's nothing wrong with just doing another 60 days with INSANITY one more time, or two more times. Once you've figured out what you want your body to do, just go for it.
One other option, think about getting in P90X2. This is one of the most advanced, if not the single most advanced at-home DVD fitness program. http://beachbodycoach.com/drkurtlove
Lastly, if you love BeachBody products like I do...they are easily the highest quality workout programs on DVD coupled with the best nutritional supplements...why not think about being part of the business? Want to make some money while getting fit? Become a BeachBody Coach! http://tinyurl.com/3em5ln3

It has changed me, and Everyone should be thinking about and getting this level of nutrition into their body on a regular basis. Shakeology is the easiest way to do it, and easily the cheapest at $4/day.
Why Results and Recovery Formula?
First, what is the Results and Recovery Formula? When you work out, and especially when you max your muscles out like I did in Insanity, muscles exhaust and use up their supplies of muscle-based sugars called glycogens. Whereas most people think that adding sugar to one's diet as being bad and leading to the increase of fat, during and after exercise are the only times when those sugars are needed. When replenishment of sugars takes place quickly for exhausted muscles, they recover much quicker with much less damage...plain and simple. If you're thinking that no sugar intake is the only way to think about sugar, then think again. It's more about how and really when you go about taking in sugar.
What's Next?
There are many options for someone like me who just finished a program like Insanity. You might like to take it a step further and try INSANITY: THE ASYLUM, or you could do a hybrid program with P90X, which is what I am doing now (since making the video for YouTube, I decided to do the hybrid). You can sculpt your body with RevABS. There's nothing wrong with just doing another 60 days with INSANITY one more time, or two more times. Once you've figured out what you want your body to do, just go for it.
One other option, think about getting in P90X2. This is one of the most advanced, if not the single most advanced at-home DVD fitness program. http://beachbodycoach.com/drkurtlove
Lastly, if you love BeachBody products like I do...they are easily the highest quality workout programs on DVD coupled with the best nutritional supplements...why not think about being part of the business?
