"When you are required to exhibit strength, it comes." - Joseph Campbell
Hello again everyone!
Well...on June 21, 2004 I was lying on an operating table having most of my insides taken out and here I am five years later still kicking and in probably the best shape of my life...so far! I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 10 and at the ripe old age of 44 there I was! I suppose I was lucky growing up - the disease would flare up for a year then go away for 10, flare up for a couple of months then go away for 5 years, etc. etc.
Then it flared up and wouldn't go away and every single drug they gave me I had a reaction to. That was fun...not! It just got worse and worse and finally that was it. They removed my colon and rectum and reconstructed my innards! See www.j-pouch.org for what they did to me.
The reason I write this is I can't believe how fit I have become and how far I've come. Beachbody's motto is Decide. Commit. Succeed. It's true. It works. But you have to go get it yourself! If you've ordered Turbo jam or P90X or Slim in 6 or any of the other great programs and they're still sitting there collecting dust...what are you waiting for?!? When you open that DVD imagine yourself 30 days from now in that slinky red dress or in those jeans or in those swim trunks (if you want to go Speedo...well...that's your decision!).
You've got the tools to succeed. Now Go Get It!
How are you doing? Tell me! I'm here to help in whatever way I can. If you need anything at all please let me know. You know my story...I want to know yours!
Y'all can reach me at josefk@beachbodycoach.com
and at Facebook (which is insanely addictive!) www.facebook.com/josefk3.
Talk to you again soon.

I Confess
I have a confession…
I’m lazy.
L-A-Z-Y.
Not the lazy where I stand around at work and do nothing lazy but the “I don’t wanna work out today” lazy.
And I don’t think I’m alone.
Let’s face it…all of us, at one time or another, just can’t seem to drag ourselves out of bed or come home from work and work out. We’re busy people and real life gets in the way of doing the things you want to do or should do. And as human beings we have the corner on excuses for not doing something and the ability to rationalize…well, just about anything.
And working out does have a few cons: It’s uncomfortable. Its time consuming. It hurts. You sweat. You smell bad.
But the pros…You’re healthier. You live longer. You look better. You may even get smarter (but I haven’t verified that one yet).
So confess. And then get some exercise!

Nothing will work unless you do – John Wooten
“Have you lost weight?”
“Wow! You look great!”
“Look at you! What have you been doing?”
If you’ve received your Beachbody program and have been following it for the last few weeks you’ve probably heard these things from family, friends, and co-workers and maybe from complete strangers.
If you’ve just ordered or are just starting, you will be hearing these things from family, friends, and co-workers and maybe from complete strangers.
If you’ve ordered your program and its still in the box or on a shelf collecting dust you’re not going to hear these things from anybody!
Maybe you’ve been sick or have an injury or real life is tossing its cookies at you. Believe me; I know a little bit about being sick. (If you’ve clicked on my profile , you’ll see what I mean! Short version – Ulcerative Colitis since I was 10, unrelenting flare up when I was 40, removal of colon and rectum at 44. Not fun but I’m still kicking!)
Or perhaps you watched the workout or tried it for a day and said to yourself, “That’s too hard. I can’t do this.” My good friend Derek Heikes (May 2008 $10,000 winner) told me “Can’t doesn’t exist. We don’t say that anymore.” And Tony Horton (creator of Power 90 and P90X) himself says, “We don’t say ‘can’t’. We say, ‘I presently struggle with’.”
Someone once told me the hardest thing about following P90X or Turbo Jam or Hip Hop Abs etc. is putting the DVD or tape in and Pushing Play. Of course I was in a complete flop sweat and looked at him like he was nuts but, after thinking about it for a bit; I realized he had a point.
Team Beachbody’s motto is “Decide. Commit. Succeed” Once you make that decision to get in shape, improve your health and just generally feel better, you have to commit to it. Push play and bring it. I’m here to tell you, you can do it. Take responsibility for your fitness, really commit to it, and you will be amazed what you can and will accomplish.
This stuff works but it’s no magic bullet. You’re going to sweat. You may curse at your television. But you’re going to get into the best shape of your life!
If you have any questions or if I can help you in any way please contact me at josefk@beachbodycoach.com. You can do it. I can help.

The Five S's
The five S’s of Sport’s Training are: stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit; but the greatest of these is spirit – Ken Doherty
Hello everyone!
Just a quick note to say hello and drop a little motivation on you!
Get ready for summer!
It’s almost swimsuit season!
Start getting in shape for the Beach!
It’s just that time of year when these commercials start to appear. Whether they’re trying to sell some kind of diet system, a gym membership or a strange new abdominal torture device, these advertisements are going to start popping up.
My question? Why wait for summer? Don’t you want to be in shape for spring? And won’t sweater season feel left out? And holiday party season is right around the corner (in another 10 months or so)!
What I’m trying to say is fitness, and by extension the fitness lifestyle, are year-round propositions. Why wait for summer when you can do it now. For those of you who have had your program for a while and have been using it religiously, congratulations! You’re probably seeing some great results! If you’ve just received it or are a few days/weeks in, congratulations! You’re probably sore and happy by now. If you’ve had your program for a while and its sitting on a shelf collecting dust…what are you waiting for?
I know it hurts. I know it’s hard. It’s supposed to be.
But doesn’t if feel good when someone asks if you’ve lost weight?
We are our own harshest critics. When we look in the mirror we don’t see what others see. We focus in on the flaws and note our successes with a “There’s more to do.”
Do your best. Eat right. Eat clean. Push play.
You can do it.
