Insanity

I have never really written a review on Insanity or my experiences with it.  Our relationship started on a cold winter day in Idaho on a Sunday afternoon.  I woke up early around 7:30 am.  I then drank my Chocolate Shakeology and let it settle a little.  My wife and baby were still asleep. The two others were watching cartoons so I pushed play on Plyometrics with 22lbs in my weighted vest. 
    We went to church and I came home an hour later and fell asleep with the baby for 2 hours.  I woke up refreshed and energized and decided that TODAY WOULD BE THE DAY!  I put my Insanity dvd in and got ready to move.

 Lets just say its like P90X Plyometrics on STEROIDS. 

I am just glad that I was not stupid enough to put my vest back on and attempt to do this cardio interval workout with it on, or else I may not be here writing this today.  There was one point where I was ready to slow down and catch my breathe when  Shaun T got up in the camera and shouted  " You can frickin do it!"

I love the intensity of these cardio workouts.  If you are looking to shed off some winter flab I would definitely recommend using Insanity.  The one other bonus side of this program is they are only about 40 minutes long compared to the hour needed with P90X.

Tonight I will attempt a 40 minute workout with 22lbs in my vest!  Stay tuned for results/obituary.

Compare Shakeology

Jamba Juice-  it's $3.50 for the small, $4.00 for the medium, and $4.50 for the large.

Shakeology- $4.00 per serving

This $4.00 per serving in my case is shared between myself and my wife everyday.  You can't beat $2.00 for that type of nutritional breakfast!

Keep Pushing Play

I hope everyone on the team, as well as those out there that are looking for some extra motivation had a great Easter Weekend.  I want you all to know that I am not perfect, and did enjoy a delicious meal made by my mother that included smoked ham, potatoes, hard boiled eggs, and some steamed veggies!  *cough cough* and  a slice of Huckleberry pie.
I did start my morning off with a Greenberry Shakeology mixed with milk, ice, a scoop of peanut butter, and a half banana. It seems any day that I miss this meal I am left with a lower tank of energy.   I did not get in a workout but I spent my day chasing the kids around on their bikes and jumping them on the trampoline.  The extra energy from a proper diet has been a great blessing in my life. 
    If by chance you spoiled yourself this weekend and feel a little guilty about your Easter Dinner, put it in the past and re-focus.  We have a long stretch of days ahead without a holiday to interfere!  Summer is just around the corner and it is time to get ourselves in gear. If you are not a member of this team and would like the extra motivation let me know!

One last note-  There is one week left to get yourselves signed up for the Summer Slim Down Challenge

Make me your coach and contact me through email or on facebook for greater details and to get you signed up!

Who is Coach Scottie?

I am a soft spoken person that makes friends with anyone and everyone.  I can't think of one person that I truly dislike.  I do not allow negativity in my life. Positive, positive, positive!  I am a father of three gorgeous little girls and the husband to the best wife ever.  As a matter of fact she is the one that got me started with working out just about one year ago.  I have a drive and desire to succeed that is unmatchable.  When I set my mind to something there is no turning back!  This is why I love the movie "Over the Top".  I live by the quote from this movie.  "If you want it, you have to take it!".  This is where i came up with the name Scottiesoverthetop blog!  My dad always taught me, "If you are going to do something, do it right the first time."   This is what I'll do.

    In May of 2010 I tryed out something I had heard about for a few years, P90X.  This program sparked something in me that is unstoppable.  I love the challenges I face daily through Beachbody programs.  I love the support of my P90X/Beachbody family.  I post pictures to try and motivate people on facebook.  It sad how many people let themselves go and don't care.  I got this comment from a lifelong friend on my post yesterday, "To much beer to drink and who cares if you have a six pack or not once you are married and have the one you want?" 

Jamaica 2010

I take pride in feeling better about myself physically,emotionally, and mentally all thanks to staying in shape. I am proud to have a healthy body and proud to look good for my wife.  Life is more stress free, there is more joy, and I will be able to keep up with my kids as they continue to grow.

     Some may get annoyed at the fact I post so many blogs about fitness, but I continue to do so because if I help one person, I feel that I am successful.  I want to take as many people with me as I can and help them to reach their fullest fitness potential.  I will be with them 100% of the way.





    I am forever grateful for the opportunity that Beachbody has given me to spend more time with my wife and kids all together.  During the 5 years that we have been married, my wife has worked evenings as a receptionist for the Hilton to help pay the bills.  I have worked daily from 5-5 and most Saturdays as well.  I have taken care of, played with, fed, and put to bed my little girls all on my own this whole time while mommy is at work.  I am excited that this year, thanks to beachbody, my wife will be able to stay at home in the evenings so we can be together more often.

   I will lead my team to the top and insure that if they put their hearts into it they also will find new opportunities of a lifetime!  I do not want to leave anyone out of  the chance to join us on this journey!

Me and my Shakeology

Well this is the first time that I have ordered my Shakeology in the box with 24 individual packets.  I opted out for the combination of Greenberry and Chocolate this time so I would have a variety for giving out as samples.  I have always loved the chocolate flavored one but I decided I could try the Greenberry. It was just as tasty!  I mixed it this morning with 1 scoop of Peanut butter, 3 cups of low fat milk, 1/2 a banana, and some ice.  This is what I had for breakfast this morning.  It made enough for two servings.  I poured half of it into a 16 ounce cup for my wife and the other half in my mug and took it to work with me.  I love it!

For those of you that don't know, you can order your Shakeology a few different ways.

• One 30 serving big bag
• One box with 24 individual packets (great for giving samples)
• You can order one month supply at a time or,
• You can order on HD (Home Direct)

One thing to highly consider is ordering your Shakeology on Home Direct or more commonly known as HD.   When you order on Home Direct you receive:

• Two Shakeology workout DVDs
• A cool calendar with a new Shakeology recipe for each day of the week.
• Free Shipping

• I highly recommend this to all of my coaches and customers because it is risk free and saves you money.  Beachbody has a bottom of the bag guarantee where you can return the product if you are not satisfied for a full refund.  If you are not satisfied or do not think it is for you it is easy to cancel your HD and order monthly if preferred.

 The option I chose to get my Shakeology was to sign up as a coach.  As a coach you receive 25% off on all Beachbody Products including Shakeology.  If you do the math, the monthly cost to be a coach ($14.99) plus the cost of Shakeology on HD ($89) comes out to be less then just ordering a supply of Shakeology on a monthly basis.  You then receive a great product and it opens up the opportunity for you to own your own fitness business.

When you decide that you want to try Shakeology make sure to contact me and make me your coach before ordering so I can get the referral.

Enjoy!

I have a confession to make.  It has to do something with the workout that is done three times a week on the P90X Classic schedule.  Yes, you guessed it, Ab Ripper X!    I hate it, but I LOVE IT. No.... I really hate it.  I smashed a couple of disks in my back when I was 18 years old while snowboarding back country in the Tetons and this causes extreme pain even till today.  Any of the moves that require me to hold my legs in the air such as bicycles, crunchy frogs, and mason twists take my breathe away with pain.  I HOPE that someday this will go away with the core strengthening moves involved with P90X. I HAVE TO MODIFY.  If any of you have problems like this just know that you CAN still get amazing results if you just do the best that you possibly can on every workout and follow proper nutrition.  I have done this now for 11 months and still cannot complete all of the moves in this short 16 minute workout.  This is why I always emphasize what Mr. Tony Horton himself says and say "DO YOUR BEST AND FORGET THE REST!"

   We are starting a local fit club where we will workout together.  I frustrates me a little that I will not be able to do this 100% in front of my friends and peers but I won't let this problem let me down. MODIFY MODIFY MODIFY!  I hope you don't let any problems you may have let you down either.  Bring it!

Shakeology Recipes

Take the guesswork out of nutrition with Shakeology, a premium meal replacement shake that combines many of nature's most health-boosting ingredients, including real food sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, plus protein and phytonutrients to help rebuild muscle, maximize cellular health, eliminate toxins, and keep blood sugar from spiking.*

It even comes in two delicious flavors, Chocolate and Greenberry, to make the nutrition you need the nutrition you want.  Determine the meal, or time of day that is your “weakest” and replace it with your favorite Shakeology recipe that is made to YOUR liking, with the amt of calories you NEED and want to consume. For some, the “weak” point is the time of day where they normally skip eating all together, setting them up for binging on an empty stomache later. For others it’s the meal where they tend to overeat or eat empty calories. Make your Shakeology meal a daily habit and be AMAZED with the results!

I.N.S.A.N.I.T.Y

I have reached my goal of bulking up to 175 lbs.  I actually hit 178lbs which is right about where I started at in May of 2010!  I am now going to work on strengthening my core and watching my diet to the "T".  I am taking Shakeology and adding in extra cardio when I can during my lunch break.  I will continue to use my weighted vest for more resistance.

May 20th 2010- 180 lbs                                         April 2011- 178lbs

Okay, so as much of you know I have started doing an Insanity/P90X hybrid schedule!   I love the intensity of Insanity.  If any of you would like to get an awesome workout and not spend the hour and fifteen minutes that is required from P90X this is your answer.

Shaun T gave me the chills with his intensity.  The way that Insanity workouts are, makes you feel like he is right there in your face pushing you to the max.  " YOU CAN FRICKING DO IT"!  That was my favorite quote from yesterdays Cardio and Resistance workout.  I have never sweat so much during a 40 minute workout.  I LOVE IT!

If you have any questions on which program will work best for you contact me through email or join my team!!!!!!

Upper Body Strength

    One of the most important exercises that you can do to increase upper body strength is pull ups and man do you do alot of them with P90X!  I am currently using a weighted vest at 22lbs and it has greatly increased my strength.  I took the day off from my vest yesterday and it felt kind of nice to do slow and methodical pull ups :)  I forgot what it was like to do more than 6-8 reps! 

     If you are having trouble with pull-ups at the beginning do not worry.  You will gain strength with time.  Follow what is shown in the P90X videos and  use a chair or modify with bands.  Before you know it you will kick that chair out from under you and accomplish your first real pull-up.   You will be amazed with your self. 

    I personally started with 3 pull ups back in May of 2010.  Now at 11 months later if I am fully rested I can hit 30 at one time.  I hit my goal!
     Make me your COACH and lets set some goals that you can achieve whether it be weight loss or strength training.  Do your best and forget the rest!

Truely an AMAZING person

      David is the newest member of my team.  He inspires me beyond what I ever imagined.  I have seen AMAZING transformations, huge muscle gains, and extreme weight loss.  What I see in David surpasses all of this.  I have never been more proud and humbled as a coach to have someone so dedicated to P90X and and changing lives.
     I want anyone that reads this to know that we all have problems in our lives that keep us from arriving at our fullest potential.  David will show you this can be overcome and that we can be the best person that we can possible be.  We can overcome any obstacle that falls in our path.   P90X has given him a new found confidence in himself.  I know that along my side and with the help of Team Bombshell Dynasty we will help change peoples lives one at a time.  Please read his story and share it with everyone you know. - Coach Scottie

David-

   "Here is what I have been through in my life to start off my P90X Story. I have Cerebral Paulsy, Bronchial Pulmunary Dysplasia, Touretts, Gilbert Syndrome (high billirubim count) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, I stutter to the point of not speaking. My stuttering has gotten better over the years tho. I am a high functioning autistic. I used to go into petit mal seizures. I have not gone into a seizure in a very long time thank goodness. Surgeries I have had include: fixed hole in heart, intestional (section removed) gallbladder removed, tonsil, adnoids removed. I was blind in my left eye growing up. But now I can see with both eyes. 40/20 hearing loss which is now fixed. I had paralyzed swallow muscles and vocal chords. I am doing extremely well now-compensating. Didn't breath when I was born at 26 weeks pre-mature. Was 1lb, 10oz, 11 & a 1/2 in long, put on life support for 4 months, was placed in the NICU my 5th month on full oxygen and 9 meds. Suffered severe brain bleeds. I had to have everything be put inside a blender in order for me to eat it, cause I had a real difficult time swallowing food and drinks. The doctors said I would not make it alive, that I would Die because I was so sick. And said, that if I did make it thru, that I would be severely handicapped, and be wheelchair bound for life.

      Well........ the doctors were wrong. I am currently 5 foot 9, 128 pounds, & healthy, living life to the fullest. I used to go to my local gym and lift weights just for fun not to get buff or anything. But when I went into the gym and started lifting the weights, a lot of the guys who were stronger and bigger than me made fun of me because I couldn't fit a lot like they could.  So I said forget this, I quit. My P90X journey began sometime in May of last year.  My sister was telling me about this super awesome workout program that everyone was talking about called P90X.  My sister loves working out. So I said oh that's cool. I bought p90x.  Didn't have any weights. Did 45 days of the program, then gave up. Didn't write down any reps or nothing.  I got 10 pound weights for my 20th birthday from my sister. So I said, ill make p90x my new years resolution to get into shape in 2011.  I had a beachbody coach.  We wrote back & fourth to one another.  I said to him ya im going to start p90x since i have weights now in January as part of my new years resolution. This was back in the last week in August of 2010.  He said, David, why don't you start September 1st? That way you will have completed the program by December. So I told him, okay ill do it. And the rest is history pretty much.

I'm almost done with my 2nd round of the program and never looking back.

   P90X has made me realize that if you put your heart and soul into something, anything can happen. I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so that kinda explains why I love P90X so much. And the changes that I have made, not only mentally, but physically because of this program, are outstanding. I feel much stronger than i have ever felt before. I can do pull ups, sit ups, the whole program. Tony Horton is such an amazing person, He not only motivates u thru each workout, but he says (Do your best, forget the rest) That is my Moto now. I'm doing the best I can with this program and getting stronger and fit and healthier every day. I'm trying to gain mass. For the people who say, I cant do P90X, its to difficult, I have this to say to them:  If I, who has been thru Hell and back with everything I have been thru in my life can do P90X, then ANYONE can. Do your best, forget the rest!!! I have made the change in my life, I'm NEVER looking back!!!!!!!!!! "
-DAVID

What is stopping you from beginning?

Decide. Commit. Succeed.

 I have now officially been a Beachbody Coach for two days.  I am a part of Team Bombshell DYNASTY.   I am excited to be a part of this energetic, dynamic, and successful team!  I have received a warm welcome to the business and look forward to helping other people change their lives by "just pushing play everyday".

I only have one regret.

      I wish I had started as a coach when I first thought about it during the fall of last year.  I am, however, lucky enough to have great friends that will be joining me on this journey!  I have been playing the role of a coach for about six months now but without the benefits of getting paid. 

     I love my facebook group called "Staying Fit Family".  We are energetic and keep each other motivated on a daily.... wait.... hourly basis.   The group started out called "Staying Fit", we started out that way but it now feels more like family so the name was changed.  We have grown to over 130 members!

Russian Bear 5000 Facts

Vitol Russian Bear 5000, Ice Cream Chocolate 4-Pounds

Russian Bear 5000-Vitol 5000 Calorie Weight Gainer, 4lb Vanilla

This is the protein powder that I prefer over all others.  I am writing this review for all of those that are wanting to try this product as a post-workout protein or a meal replacement.
 I will start off by saying that I use this supplement two times a day.  I use 1 scoop in the morning with 16 ounces of milk as a meal replacement/snack.  I also use it as my post workout protein/carbohydrate supplement.  I also use 1 scoop with 16 ounces of 0% - lowfat milk.
The serving size recommended on the container is for someone that is REALLY trying to gain some major size.  I wouldn't recommend this amount unless you are putting in a good hard two hours of heavy lifting per day.  You can see the serving size in the picture at the bottom.
I will not recommend to anyone how much they should take but I will break down the calories so you know how much you are taking in.


8 oz of Milk
1/4 scoop with 8 oz of 0% milk =215 Calories/ 20gm Protein/ 32gm Carbs
1/2 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk= 345 Calories/ 28gm Protein/52gm Carbs
3/4 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk= 475 Calories/37gm Protein/72gm Carbs
1 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk=  605       
Calories /46 gm Protein/92gm Carbs


        16 oz of Milk
       1/4 scoop with 8 oz of 0% milk=300 Calories/28Gm Protein/44gm Carbs
 1/2 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk= 430  Calories/ 6Gm Protein/64gm Carbs
3/4 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk= 560 Calories/45Gm Protein/84gm Carbs
1 scoop with 8oz of 0% milk=  690 Calories / 54 Gm Protein/ 104gm Carbs
    If you are taking more than this just know that  each scoop equals 520 calories plus whatever the calorie content of the milk you are drinking with it.  I have provided above a list of calorie, protein, and carbohydrate amounts when taken with 0% or skim milk.
     I will list below a few of the ingredients in this product of significance and what they are used for:

Russian Bear Results for me with P90X

Protein source is "pharmaceutical grade protein blend consisting of non-fat milk solids and hydrolyzed egg white (albumin)"
Carb source is "complex, medium chain and simple carbohydrates"
Also contains per 1 scoop:
Yohimbe Bark 300 MG
Sika deer Antler powder 100 MG
Schizandra chinesis 100 MG
Elutherococcus 200 MG
Inosine HXR 100 MG
Colostrum 80 MG
Boron .6 MCG
Chromium Picolinate 40 MCG
 Side notes:
Modern herbalists recognize Schizandra to have the following actions: antibacterial, antidepressant, antifatigue, aphrodisiac improves endurance, mental performance, physical performance, urogenital tonic and uterine stimulant.
  Traditionally, antler velvet (Sikadeer Antler powder) has been used to restore, balance and strengthen the body, support joint function, and cultivate an overall feeling of well-being.
  Colostrum (from cows) contains the growth factor IGF-1, which may help build muscle, and on this basis colostrum has been proposed as a sports supplement.
  Boron does seem to assist in the proper absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus from foods, and slows the loss of these minerals through urination. Very preliminary evidence suggests that boron supplements may be helpful for osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
  Yohimbe is sometimes promoted as enhancing libido and acting as an aphrodisiac.   Yohimbe bark is generally expected to contain at least 0.2% yohimbine.
  Inosine is an important chemical found throughout the body. It plays many roles, one of which is helping to make ATP, the body's main form of usable energy. Based primarily on this fact, inosine supplements have been proposed as an energy booster for athletes.
  Chromium's most important function in the body is to help regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin plays a starring role in this fundamental biological process, by regulating the movement of glucose out of the blood and into cells. Scientists believe that insulin uses chromium as an assistant (technically, a cofactor) to "unlock the door" to the cell membrane, thus allowing glucose to enter the cell.   

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats with an unusual chemical structure that allows the body to digest them easily. Most fats are broken down in the intestine and reassembled into a special form that can be transported in the blood. But MCTs are absorbed intact and taken to the liver, where they are used directly for energy. In this sense, they are processed very similarly to carbohydrates. For that reason, MCTs have been proposed as an alternative to "carbo-loading" (consumption of a large quantity of carbohydrates prior to intense physical exercise) for providing a concentrated source of easily utilized energy.
  I hope the information provided in this post will help you "know" what you are taking and help aid you in the decision of how much to take .  I myself have fallen in love with this product due to the results I have seen in combining it with proper nutrition and P90X
