I believe that FUN is an action and not a word that should not to be taken lightly! Fun can be involved in everything that we do; it’s a choice, our choice! Fitness for me has always been a fun place, at times it challenges me to get off my butt and get it done and pains me while I am getting it done but in the end I look back on it as a fun ride! If you ever want to contact me, never hesitate to do so! I answer all of my emails as fast as I can! mikekarpenko@yahoo.com or mjk017 on aim. Fitness is a daily part of my life. And when I say "fitness" I am referring to a relationship between physical activity, nutrition & supplements and an active fun balanced lifestyle. Whew that was a mouthful of seriousness, I will give you a second to let that sit in or re-read it. Ha. In all honesty whether you are beginning your new healthy journey, extending it or looking for a change my creed is “permanent results are brought through a change in your lifestyle.” It is our habits and lifestyles that got us to where we are today and if we want to be somewhere else tomorrow, WE HAVE TO BE WILLING TO CHANGE. Anyone up for a change? I live in a world of balance in SoCal. Depriving yourself of everything you love that may be considered bad for you is unhealthy with in itself! I am just as healthy eating eggwhites, drinking meal replacements, and taking vitamins as I am falling off the bandwagon and downing a pizza and having a beer with friends! I have worked with Beachbody for many years now and love all the people over there. They can be like a true family with the way the care about both working with you as a well oiled team to put out high quality products and being concerning for your personal well being. I have worked I testing many of the products they produce and with the training and coaching many of the testimonials you see in the shows, on the marketing materials and on the message boards. I have a strong passion for helping people succeed with their health and fitness goals and ultimately changing their lives. I have a theory that healthy lifestyles are like throwing darts. I know it sounds goofy but stay with me on this one. There is not a dart player that exists that can throw bulleyes 100% of the time. So don't beat yourself up when it does not happen. 50 point dart throws are awesome but so are 5, 10 and 20. There are times to throw bullseyes and times to aim at other numbers. The key is to keep throwing darts at the board! Forward progress is SUCCESSFUL progress! Just have goals with every dart you throw. If you do not hit your goal, and you won't every time, note that you will hit something causing your goals to ever be changing for the better!!! JUST KEEP THROWING DARTS!! AND FINALLY- UNDERSTAND that everything we do is an opportunity to set an example for our family, friends and our nation's youth! All of which have great meaning to us and we should NEVER forget that! --As you grow older, you'll discover you have 2 hands; one for yourself and and a second for helping others!

Well I have been an active person all my life. I have played sports all through high school and college. After college I made the move to California from New York to open up a company that delivered the Zone Diet to your home on a daily basis. It was so demanding on my life, I stepped away from it and took a year off. I recommend that to everyone!!! For that full year it was all about me, playing sports, my fitness, staying healthy and travelling. During that time I met up with the people at Beachbody and realized they shared the same vision of fitness and helping others that I did. After expalining my passion with them & Carl(CEO of Beachbody) offered me up a job. I held many jobs with Beachbody from test group manager to host of their website and I am very proud of my invovlement with the company. Through my time directly with them I managed to do every beachbody product there is. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a huge fan of P90X! In the past I have successfully completed 4 cycles from start to finish. I also can't live without Hip Hop Abs and Shaun T! Now I am at a point of developing hybrid workouts for myself becuase that is wear MY fitness is. I combine my strength training, hikes, Santa Monica Stairs, beach workouts with P90X, Power 90, Great Body workouts and a huge SLEEPER- FAST 10! Fast 10 and Plyometrics have allowed me to push my sporting activies to their limits!
