Shakeology value

I am lifting this from Rebecca MacKay's notes with permission.  Check out this value summary of Shakeology!
I had a very dear friend asked me the other day, “Hey, what’s this Shakeology stuff”.

I excitedly answered, “Oh, it’s this amazing health shake from Beachbody. It has 70+ healthy ingredients and can be used as a meal replacement if you want to lose weight, but most importantly it provides you with appropriate daily nutrition and it tastes good...  you have to try it.”

My friend seemed interested and thought it sounded great. “How much is it,” he asked.

Well, I said it is $119.95 ( though Team Beachbody Club Members save 10%, and Coaches save 25%) ...

“WOW!!”, he said, “That’s a lot of money. Why wouldn’t someone just go buy Nutrisystem.”

Well, I repeated the above and then added, “It works out ot be just about $4 a bag, it’s replacing a meal... you can’t get a meal for $4 with all those ingredients.”

He was stuck on the price and I fell short... I ended the conversation with, “Yea, it’s expensive!”

I thought about that conversation a lot the next few days and I felt really bad about it.

So I have decided to answer my friend as I should have during our initial conversation and I am sharing the answer with you.

The truth is YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO buy Shakeology and have it be apart of your health and fitness arsenal. You can’t put a price tag on good health. The thing people fail to realize is Shakeology and the other products sold by Beachbody are prevention. They are going to keep you from being obese, they are going to keep you from high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and disease (this is my opinion and my strong belief) and if you are already “fighting the fight”, then these products are going to help you win and heal. It is about taking a ProActive stance concerning your health.

I know that I am willing to pay $4 a day to help insure that I am healthy and getting all the 70+ ultra high quality ingredients that my body needs. I can tell you that I can’t afford to go to the market and buy organic produce that won’t come close to equaling the quality of ingredients in  one glass of Shakeology. Yet, I can exchange the $3.50 that I’d spend on my daily Kona Mocha Smoothie for a $4 glass of good health!!!

I will be completely honest with you. I had a health scare that made me examine my health and fitness priorities. I decided I needed to start taking care of my body consciously and become very aware of what I was using to fuel it and how I was treating it. I decided to start treating my body like the amazing temple that it is and worship it with proper nutrition and good fitness. I decided to be proactive!

On my path I discovered Team Beachbody. I started using the products and got great results, now I am a Beachbody Coach and I can tell you honestly and with tons of enthusiasm that these products will work for you too.

I wish you could have been at the Beachbody workshop that I most recently attended. There were so many wonderful testimonials. People in tears as they talked about how Shakeology changed their lives, and in some cases even, saved there lives. It made me a believer!!

So here is my passionate answer: Shakeology is worth every cent!! 

Still not convinced. Here are<span> 5 more reasons</span>:

1. Even if you searched the world, you probably wouldn’t be able to find all the 70 plus ultra high quality ingredients included in Shakeology.

2. The medical community supports it and many health care providers are using Shakeology!  Beachbody has over 100 doctors standing behind Shakeology!

3. It is hard to find convenient and affordable food that is actually good for you and providing you with the nutrients of the 70+ ultra high quality ingredients that are found in one glass of Shakeology and there is <span>nothing like it on the market!!</span>

4. 30 Day money back guarantee! You can try it for free for 30 days... if it does’t change your life, if you don’t see results.... send it back and get your money back!!

5. When you sign up for auto direct shipping you get: free shipping, a free shaker, and two free workout videos that are amazing. You get a 30 min and a 50 min workout. You will meet your health and fitness goals if you pair these workouts with Shakeology.

Shakeology vs. Mainstream drinks

I was watching the Today show this morning, and was pretty shocked to learn that a certain Starbucks drink is over 650 calories, and 39g of sugar!  Yikes, all that and zero nutrition.  Compare that to a Shakeology serving of 140calories, and enough sustained energy to keep you going for 5hours plus, well, there is really no comparison.  They also mentioned McDonalds coffee drinks are similar to the Starbucks in calories and sugar content, and also zero nutrition.  The really funny thing was that McDonalds was advertising their coffee drinks directly after that very same segment!

The Game Plan

This is one of the slides from the Tony Horton's presentation at the Game Plan, a two day event that I just attended in Portland.  It is was so inspiring to not only get to participate in two workout sessions with Tony Horton, but also get to hear his entire career in fitness, and his philosophy on life in general.    This is just one example, another is a personal favorite:  Fall in love with falling down and getting up again....when you do you are unstoppable.  Don't be afraid of failure.  This one really struck home because I have always loved to learn new sports even if I happen to look like a kook when learning.  I learned to windsurf, kitesurf, standup paddle surf, Trikke mostly on my own, just falling, laughing and getting up again.  When I got back to the beach I would hear people say, Oh I can't learn that because it takes too much time, or it doesn't look cool.  Well for me, it is all the process of learning that makes it rewarding and fun.  Why not try something new if it doesn't kill you?  Get out there and don't worry about falling because that is the fun of it.   Thank you Tony Horton for an amazing seminar, and two incredible workouts!  I was equally impressed with the workouts that Tony led.  The sweat was literally pouring off all of us, about 250 participants doing everything from multiple push ups to intense yoga moves such as warier 3 balance pose!

The mission statement of Team Beachbody is: Help people acheive their goals and enjoy a healthy fulfilling life.  What an awesome statement, I don't know why anyone would not want to get involved.

After two days of training with Team Beachbody, I am more stoked than ever to be a coach, and the timing could not be better.  My goal is not only to earn enough to get ripped, get free Shakeology sent to my house every month, but also to be able to pay for my upcoming vacation to Portugal in May 2011.  I think it is all doable, and please stay tuned to this blog as things progress.  Also check out my coach page on Facebook.
