Week two of push - The price of having a gym membership

I haven't been blogging in a while and I'm sorry. I've been trying to get people interested in Beachbody. It's been difficult as much as there is a high rate of obesity there is also the fact that people have tight pockets. Some of these people are not looking to spend money on a workout program no matter how great it is. I understand that cause I'm in the same situation currently unemployed. It's sad how we have to choose between our pockets and our health. That's the modern American way perhaps.

The thing is a lot of people end up wanting to do something about their weight, but don't know where to begin. They join a gym and get on a contract that is $10-$39 a month.

• At $10 a month for one year they have spent a total of $120 dollars at the gym
• At $39 a month for one year they have spent a total of $468 dollars at the gym.

Did you know that 60% of new gym members don't go back to the gym after the initial 3 months.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) asked 1,500 people why they don't go to the gym

• 46 percent of Web site visitors say they don’t go to the gym because it’s too crowded
• 21 percent say they don’t go because they don’t know what they’re doing
• 19 percent feel they’ll be the only one who isn’t “buff” or already in good shape
• 11 percent say rude gym etiquette keeps them from going (i.e., not wiping off a machine after a cardio workout or not letting others work in on a weight machine)
• 3 percent said they’re afraid to ask questions

Did you know that the ACE actually recommended doing Strength Training in your own home or a home workout video?

The average Beachbody workout program (excluding the kids, teen, and older adult videos) starts from about $39-$200 and they are guaranteed results as long as you stick to them. Also if you are a Team Beachbody Club member you save 10% and a Beachbody Coach 25%.

And guess what? NO ONE IS WATCHING YOU, you have online support, and mostly all the workouts come with a guide to guide you in correctly performing your workouts. You get your own personalized coach and you could even be a coach, start your own business, and make yourself some money with your hardwork and dedication.

I started losing weight in July 2009 and I've lost almost 17 lbs so far. There is a great community out there on Team Beachbody and even if you don't want to spend money you can sign up for free and as long as you workout (any workout even running) and enter it on the site you can win $300-$1000 dollars. You even still get your own coach and I can be your coach.
