For those of you who read my post “The Downside of the Trading Life”, I have been doing Beach Body’s P90X which I have to say is the most intense workout I have ever done. And I have done everything from boot camp workouts to kickboxing and boxing to jiu jitsu to judo and this just blew them all away.
I am also trying the new 10 Minute Trainer which I am doing before trading each morning. It’s intense but since it’s a shorter time commitment I find that I am following through with more consistency. It’s better than a cup of coffee – better than a Red Bull for just waking up your brain! Plus I can be done in 10-20 minutes which I love.
I have to say that I am a little more motivated to get in shape as well because Wiley is going to put me on the cover of my new book. Sure it’s vanity…but I want to look good.
I joined Team Beach Body so I could log my workouts in and have a group that I work out with each morning…it’s a cool interface where you log into something they call WOWY and it’s a community which I think is great support and motivation.
If you are a Team Beach Body member or want to work out email me at ragheehorner (at) yahoo.com or leave a comment and let me know, I’ll add you to the my “buddies” list. A few of my buddies and I chat before we train either by phone or Skype about the markets and then go workout so it’s been fun for me. Since I’ve always up for a chat about the markets and get a quick, good workout in the morning this has been a fantastic way to do it and I love that I am accountable to my trading/workout buddies. I train twice a day sometimes so it can be either a morning or evening workout, sometime both. Like I said, I want to look GOOD for the next book cover!
As for the workouts themselves. They are world class. I have worked out with bodybuilding champs, UFC title holders, Golden Gloves champs, my husband…who is just an eating and training machine, and I am continually impressed with the results I am getting from popping in a DVD. Go figure.
So if you’re serious about getting in shape and you’re up for a some market chat, let me know. I look forward to welcoming you into the group.

Based on your reference, I checked out and picked up P90X a month ago and could not agree more. It’s a real butt-kicker!
I try to get a Cardio X done in the morning before trading and then the second workout in the evening. Really wakes up the brain cells in the morning….which I need.
Keep up the hard work; You know what they say about judging a book by its cover:)!
