Get Healthy. Get Fit. Get Support. Right Here. Right Now.
Welcome to Team Right Now Fitness! My name is Mike Roberts and I am an Independent Beachbody Diamond Coach. I started Team Right Now after spending a year with Beachbody workouts. If you look at “My Story”, you can read about how these workouts have changed my life, and not just physically. It has been an amazing journey form that first day in December 2009! I became a Beachbody Coach to help others start their new journey and progress toward their ultimate goals. I am an expert in the hardest of...
Plant-Based Protein
May 16, 2012 - I have been on a Whole Foods Plant-Based Diet since October 1. The #1 Question I get asked is “Where do I get protein?”. The article below was posted on the Shakeology Blog and it has been the best, most succinct list of plant-based protein I have seen. I was...
Ultimate P90x+ Workshee...
April 29, 2012 - Given my other customized worksheets, I have finally created the P90X+ worksheets. I have done this in the same form as I have done P90X, P90X2, and so many others. I have developed comprehensive workout sheets that allow you to see how each workout is organized and...
P90X Certification
April 11, 2012 - I am really excited to announce that Beachbody has started 2 new training programs. One that will make you P90X Qualified and one that will make you P90X Certified. They have started a new team at Headquarters that will be looking at more programs and be bringing more...
TRN-No Excuse Zone
April 11, 2012 - So what is “Team Right Now” all about? I mean, it is kind of a strange name, right? When I went back and forth on names and what I wanted this fitness team to represent, this is the one that stuck for two main reasons. 1) The song “Right Now”...
Courage
April 6, 2012 - When I hear about someone embarking on a new program, I always stand up and applaude. It takes serious courage to dedicate and commit yourself to a 90 day journey of self improvement. And let’s be honest, all us are not quite sure how we are going to do. All of us at...
Fire Starter Pack
April 4, 2011 - I have tried Turbo Fire and I can fully attest to the fact that I have no coordination whatsoever. I was frustrated as I have never done an choreographed movements in my life. I hung in there for about 4 workouts just to give it a fair chance. And while I sweat like crazy...
Chest+Back+Balance Revi...
April 3, 2012 - Chest+Back+Balance launches you into the Strength Phase of X2. For those of you who did P90X One-on-One Volume 3, this workout is almost identical to the more edgier titled Chest, Back & Balls. There are no “regular” pull-ups and standard width...

Arnold-6 Rules 4 Succes...
March 19, 2012 - Arnold Schwarzenegger is far from perfect, but I really liked this “Secrets to Success” speech from USC’s graduation in 2009. You can’t argue with Arnold’s success and he has defied the odds at every step of his career. Here are his 6...
Have A Strategy
March 12, 2012 - “Have A Strategy” This is the Tip of the Day from P90X2 Base + Back. Why? Because it is one of the hardest P90X2 workouts. It combines Pull-Ups and Plyo in a 30 minute session (excluding warm-up and cool down). And after you have completed 5 rounds and are...
Day 91
March 8, 2012 - Congratulations. You have finished your 90 day program (or however many days your program is)! If you did P90X, you are a select few as less than 25% of the people who start the program, finish the program. If you have cleaned up your nutrition, been consuming Shakeology,...
Building Mass with P90X
March 6, 2012 - As you know, Steve Edwards is Beachbody’s Fitness Guru. He hits it right on the head in his article, there is something about us guys wanting to build mass. Well, I can for one tell you, that this is a very challenging thing for me. My body type is Ectomorph, which...
Get Angry…
March 5, 2012 - Anger is a very powerful emotion and we must recognize it as such. To claim that we can rid ourselves of it is unrealistic. After all, even Jesus Christ got angry. After making His triumphal entry into Jerusalem with crowds cheering and palm branches waving, Jesus...
X2 Balance+Power Review
March 1, 2012 - X2 Balance + Power is another challenging workout in the Foundation Phase. For those of you who did P90X One-on-One Volume 3, this workout does not have a direct correlation. You will find some moves from various 1-on-1s, but for the most part, this is a never before...
SO Tropical is Here!
February 13, 2012 - We have all been waiting since June 2011 when Shakeology Tropical was first announced to place our first order. While the official date was February 14, the links are now live to order Shakeology Tropical Strawberry today. I have switched my Home Direct order and...
X2 Total Body Review
February 11, 2012 - In my opinion, X2 Total Body is the hardest workout in the Foundation Phase. For those of you who did P90X One-on-One Volume 3, this workout is very different from Total Body X. In the 1-on-1, Tony does 4 rounds of a Upper Body, Cardio, Ab/Core, and Legs. It is not...
Superfood Man
February 11, 2012 - This was an article in business week with the infamous Darin Olien, co-creator of Shakeology. As we lead up to Vegan Shakeology tropical, the timing could not be more perfect. For the source article, click HERE January 26, 2012, 7:00 PM EST The Adventures of Superfood...

P90X2 & Endurance ...
January 19, 2012 - As an aspiring endurance athlete, I jumped for joy when I saw this article. The biggest struggle I have found when talking to many runners or triathletes is they do not cross train. In order to run better, people believe they just need to run more. As I train for this...
E&E Pre-Workout Re...
January 17, 2012 - I have tried numerous pre-workout (PWO) formulas , but I none of them really did it for me. (Click HERE for my review of many of the most popular) So many of them had so much caffeine that it actually hindered my workouts. I have recently been on the Vega Pre-Workout...
Beachbody Challenge
January 16, 2012 - The Beachbody Challenge has replaced the Million Dollar Body game. And the ante has been officially upped. (Bad English, but you get my drift.) Everyone (and I mean everyone) should enter. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain…including some serious...
2 Year Anniversary
December 20, 2010 - 2 years ago, I committed to P90X. I had lost my way and frankly I had put alot of pressure on the program. My expectations were pretty high. But I would have never thought I would end up here 2 years later. I haven’t counted the number of times I have missed a...

Les Mills Pump
December 4, 2011 - For anyone who has ever been to a gym, I am sure you have seen BODYPUMP classes. My wife Stephanie really enjoyed these classes and I even tried it once. As you will read below, it is all about very high reps. It was a great workout for me and this was after my first 90...

P90X App Review
November 13, 2011 - The P90X App was announced at Summit in June, but Carl had asked us not to record the preview because of the sensitivity around the app developer. Beachbody has put together a great website that tells you all about P90X iPhone App. Just Click HERE I downloaded the...

Cost of Shakeology
November 2, 2011 - This is a great blog Carl wrote. I get asked alot about the cost of Shakeology. I remember when I first heard it, I didn’t even want to read anymore about it. $4 / day. Thats crazy! However, the more and more I interacted with others, the more I kept hearing...
P90X & Shakeology
November 2, 2011 - This was an article in the latest P90X newsletter. I get asked these questions all the time, so i wanted to repost. Can Shakeology replace one of my meals in the P90X nutrition plan? I’d hope so, given that it’s a meal replacement shake! But seriously,...
Which Program For You?
October 17, 2011 - I have done many of Beachbody programs, including Power90, P90X, P90X Plus, P90X One-on-One, Insanity, Insanity Asylum, and I even have tried Turbo Fire. But there are so many other programs Beachbody offers as well. Let’s be honest, P90X and Insanity are not for...

The Last Heart Attack
October 5, 2011 - I am still a young man at 36 years old, but the thought of having a having a heart attack, stroke or any other debilitating disease is something I think we all would rather brush away with a “It’s not going to happen to me” attitude. However, the best...

September 26, 2011 - One of the natural highs that I experience in my life is being around like-minded people. These are people who have similar beliefs, similar experiences, similar goals, similar dispositions, etc. It doesn’t mean they are identical to you. It simply means that...

Artic Zero Review
September 19, 2011 - If there is one soft spot I have, it is ice cream. I can overlook cookies, brownies, cake, and every other sweet. But when Ice Cream comes out, I get weak in the knees. I actually bring my kids to Diary Queen without getting anything and then make Shakeology when I...

American Food Fight
September 8 , 2011 - This is a great article written by Doc Horton. People can get very religious about their food faith. Ask a paleolithic to give up their steak and they will probably cut your hand off. Ask a vegan to drink milk and eat a piece of chicken and they would rather starve to...

Pull Up Assist Review
August 26, 2011 - A new piece of equipment came out at the same time as Insanity Asylum, a pull-up assist (or as they call it “Chin-Up Max”). For anyone who is doing assisted pull-ups, you probably use a chair. And this works great (and is free!). However, I wanted to give...
