Create and Edit Your ProfileCompleting your profile as fully as possible will help you get the most out of your Team Beachbody experience. It’ll also help your Workout Buddies and other members know more about you, so you’ll find the most suitable people to communicate with and work out with. You’ll be asked to create a profile when you first become a member of Team Beachbody. Whenever you want to change it, click on Edit Profile. Here’s how to fill in the various categories: Add basic information. When you get to “Privacy Settings,” you can decide whether to keep these details private or let your Workout Buddies or all your fellow members see it. Add Progress and Goals. Note: The next time you visit this page, it will show your current Overall Goal and Fitness Story selections. To change or add to them, click “edit.” Now, fill in as many of your current physical statistics as you can. (For help in determining your current fitness level, take the WOWY SuperGym Fitness Test, or the more extensive P90X Fit Test.) This is very important—keeping track of your improvement from week to week is a major factor in staying motivated to succeed! Next, add your projected goals for each category. (You can always change these later—as you become more fit, you may realize you have more potential for improvement than you thought.) Once you’ve filled in some categories, you’ll see spaces in the chart to add your new statistics on a regular basis. Every two weeks or so (or less often for slow-changing figures such as cholesterol), you can measure, weigh, or test yourself again and add the new numbers. Choose one measurement —”Weight” is the most popular—in “default graph view.” This will become the Progress Tracker displayed on your dashboard at the top of the site. Add your meal plan. Select your workout programs. (If you don’t have a program yet, go to Fitness Programs and use the Comparison Chart to find one that’s right for you. Then you can purchase it with your exclusive Club member discount.) Choose your activities. Select your gear. Select your supplements. Upload your photos. Next, upload a “before” progress photo—a full-body photo that shows your physical condition at the start of the program. Later, you’ll want to add a new “current” progress photo every 30 days or so. This will give you a visual impression of how well you’re progressing over time. You can now add up to 20 more photos to your gallery in order to show off your new-and-improved body (or for any reason you want). Click on any photo to edit the title or to delete. Click on “browse” to locate a photo on your computer and upload it to the site. Photos must be in JPEG format and no larger than 750k in size in order to upload correctly. Body-revealing clothes are allowed, but nudity is not; any photos considered inappropriate may be subject to removal. (For information on photo rights, read the Terms of Use on that page.) Manage your Workout Groups. Manage your Blog. Establish your Privacy Settings. Get FitFind your workout program and nutritional supplements. If you don’t already own a fitness program, go here to find one that will help you reach your personal goals. And go here for nutritional supplements to help you lose weight, build muscle, and stay energized. Plan your workouts in WOWY SuperGym. The workout planner, fitness tools and other features are easy to use—but to help you get the most out of your experience, we recommend that you view the workout-planning tutorial here. If you have any questions, read the SuperGym FAQ here. Calculate your Target Heart Rate. When you work out, check your pulse rate per minute (either with a heart-rate monitor, or by counting your pulse for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4). Then you can use these ranges to decide whether you should raise or lower the intensity of your workout. Track your progress. If you haven’t already completed this page, fill in as many of your current statistics as you can, along with your projected goals. (You can always change these later—as you become more fit, you may realize you have more potential for improvement than you thought.) Once you’ve filled in some categories, you’ll see spaces in the chart to add your new statistics on a regular basis. Every two weeks or so (or less often for slow-changing figures such as cholesterol), you can measure, weigh, or test yourself again and add the new numbers. Choose one measurement—”Weight” is the most popular—in “default graph view.” This will become the Progress Tracker displayed on your dashboard at the top of the site. Download Workout Sheets. You’ll find printable PDFs for all three programs, and Excel spreadsheets for P90X and P90X Plus that you can update right on your computer. Eat Right and Lose WeightCreate your personalized meal plan. Click on “Create my customized meal plan” and fill out the questionnaire. Based on your answers, you’ll be offered a version of the Balance Slim-Down plan, the Low-Carb plan, or the Active Lifestyle plan. (What if you prefer a different Basic plan from the one that’s suggested? No problem! Click “See other plans” and make another choice.) Are you a vegetarian? That’s no problem either! Select “Vegetarian meals only” to get your plan with meat-free choices. If you want to personalize your meals even further, click “I’ll take the custom plan.” Then you’ll be able to change meal suggestions, make up your own meals, and set favorites in each category. Search for recipes. Find supplements. Calculate your body-fat percentage. Keep track of this number in your Goal Tracker, and you’ll always know where you are and how far you have to go. Calculate your Body Mass Index. Calculate your caloric needs. Test your foods with Michi’s Ladder. Get Community SupportTeam Beachbody has added a whole range of new social-networking features that allow you to communicate with, and even remotely work out with, supportive fitness enthusiasts just like you! Remember, the more you stay connected, the better your results are likely to be. Work out with Buddies. Find Buddies: Invite Buddies to work out with you: Join or create Workout Groups. You can also create groups of your own, based on your specific goals and interests. Fill out and submit a request form, and an administrator will respond in 1-2 business days. Send and receive messages. Hang Out in the Chat Rooms. Your chat name will be the same as your Team Beachbody screen name. You’ll need a Java plug-in to participate in chats—if you don’t have it, you’ll be given an opportunity to download it. Write in your Blog. Note: Unlike the “Diary” feature on the old Team Beachbody site, which was private, your blog posts are public and can be read by others. (But don’t worry, no one else can read Diary entries you wrote on the old site.) Get Information and AdviceTeam Beachbody provides all kinds of information on getting fit, eating right, losing weight, and getting the most from your workout programs. You should check out all of these areas regularly for the latest advice, but you can also search for particular topics you need to know about at any given time. Consult the Message Boards. Note: Unlike on the old TeamBeachbody.com, you don’t have to log in to the Message Boards separately. Your Team Beachbody screen name will also be your Message Board screen name.
