Beachbody Summit 2014 - What went down and what I learned this year!



Wow, Summit was an amazing experience!  

I listened to Diana Nyad speak about her journey and many struggles on the way to her goal and success in the water.  What a truly remarkable woman she is.  

I also had the privilege of hearing Darren Hardy Author of Success magazine speak to us about never giving up and how the compounding effect of small seemingly insignificant tasks each day can lead to great success over time.  I have read his book the Compound effect but hearing him speak was an unforgettable experience!

Those were the Key Note speakers for two of the nights during Summit. But we also learned so much from many other speakers and coaches who shared their wisdom and knowledge.  

I participated in the super workout along side thousands of other coaches, this workout included Chalene Johnson doing her new program PiYo to warm us up.  Following her we did a little Combat workout, then Tony Horton gave us a taste of P90x3 and then Autumn Calabrese came out and gave everyone a taste of the 21 day fix!  At this point I ran out of water and was an hour into the workout.... so I quickly found some water and joined back in for Shawn T's Insanity workout!  

What a great experience that was! 


New Products and Programs


Isabelle Daikeler the co-creator Shakeology has developed a new 3-Day Refresh program for those wanting to clean up their eating and get a fresh start!  Check out the details on this program here.  

In addition Tony Horton Announced that he is releasing a new program for those just starting out on their fitness journey which will be called P90!  I think this program will be a great intro to get people started. 

If you want a chance to win a copy of P90 you can enter your name and email address on my site here to be entered!  www.P90TBB.com?referringRepId=326709

PiYo was also released while at Summit and this program is already a huge hit!  I ordered mine and an anxiously waiting to try it out!  I got a small taste of PiYo at the Super Workout and I loved it!  I can't wait to see more!

What else I learned?

Summit is AMAZING!  So Busy, so many great things to do, see, listen to and take in.  I couldn't do it all..... I had hoped to fit in many of the workouts, but between team meetings, late nights and other conflicting sessions taking place I was only able to make it to the super workout!  

I was looking forward to some more sleep than I get at home... but I think I likely got about the same amount when all was said and done!  I woke up at 5:30am for the Super Workout to get there in time to get a terrible spot at the back but better than some.  

I was glad I did bring quite a variety of clothing.  Mostly I needed workout gear, and dressy outfits.  But not much else.  I had brought some business casual outfits to wear to the sessions but as it turned out most people just work their workout gear most of the time so I  did the same!

Line up everyone Body, Line Up, Line up!

Man the lines were long for most things if you were eager to be the first for anything it meant devoting a day to waiting it seemed.  But what I learned about the lines is that there is really no point in bothering with them.... if you can be patient and wait until the flurry dies down a bit you will walk right in to things like the Core which is where you can purchase workout gear and specific workout program related items!  

However for the sessions it is best to line up about 45 minutes to an hour before hand otherwise your sitting on the floor our you don't get in at all!  I was surprised by this but I learned fast that I just wasn't going to make it to EVERY session!  And luckily they were recorded so I can watch them all at home.  

It really was an amazing experience and Gord and I have registered for Summit next year which is going to be in Nashville!  I can not wait for this trip!!!
