A Tropical Paradise for your Health

Tropical Strawberry Shakeology is the newest, delicious smoothie flavor in the Shakeology lineup. Tropical Strawberry Shakeology features tropical flavors of Strawberry, Banana, Pineapple, Papaya, and Coconut.  It is a light and fruity flavor that is very mild and mixes easily with other healthy additions to create hundreds of unique custom flavors.

But Tropical Strawberry is not just a new flavor, but a totally new formula that contains no animal products, no dairy or lactose, only plant-based proteins, and it is 100% Vegan.  This new Vegan formula is a breakthrough in the nutrition industry because of the proprietary plant-based protein blend.  The primary source of protein is raw, sprouted, bio-fermented brown rice.  This is not new for the industry, but what is revolutionary about Shakeology is the smooth texture in Tropical Strawberry Shakeology.  Other Vegan protein shakes on the market have a gritty texture that leaves your mouth feeling gross.  Beachbody has developed a special processing method that makes the brown rice protein as smooth and creamy as whey protein.  In addition to sprouted brown rice, the formula also contains protein from Sacha inchi, Chia, Flax, Quinoa, Amaranth, and Spirulina to provide all 9 essential amino acids to your body.  This formula makes it incredibly easy for your body to assimilate and digest these amino acids so they can go right to work building muscles.  A recently published article included Spirulina and Chia as 2 of the 8 Most Nutrient Dense Foods on Earth.

Building Core Strength and Balance

P90X2 is broken down into 3 Phases, building on the concept of muscle confusing that was introduced by Tony Horton in P90X.  However, P90X2 has taken muscle confusion to a whole new level.  P90X2 applies the latest in science and training techniques by using total body movements, incorporating multiple muscle sets in a single move.  For example, you don't just do dumbbell curls to work the biceps, but you do dumbbell curls while standing on 1 foot in Warrior 3 yoga pose.  This type of move engages muscles in the arms, back, legs, glutes, and core all at once.  Imagine the 1 arm balance pushups from P90X, but with your hands on medicine balls.  Many of the concepts in P90X2 are used by elite athletes to build muscle, improve flexibility and mobility, and prevent injuries.  If you are someone that got ripped doing P90X then you are going to love P90X2!

I HATE YOGA!

That is what I often hear when I talk to my friends and other coaches who are doing P90X.  YogaX is always a hot topic.  Many guys who are doing P90X to get ripped and build muscle don't feel like they need to do the Yoga.  "Yoga is for girls" is something that I often hear.  However, nothing is further from the truth.  In fact most men are much less flexible than women making it that much more important to stretch to maintain and improve flexibility.

Personally, I feel like I am one of the least flexible people in the entire world.  When I try to touch my toes with straight legs, I am lucky to reach my ankles.  Because of this lack of flexibility, doing Yoga is a major challenge to me.  I have to modify many of the moves and feel very awkward and uncomfortable doing yoga.  I used to make every excuse in the book to to skip the Yoga because I just hated to do it.  I felt like it was a waste of time and something that I really did not enjoy.  I thought my workout time would be better spent with resistance training, building up my strength and muscle.
