Maintaining Fitness

This is the first time I have ever used a blog.

I've been using Beachbody's programs for fitness, health, and weight control for 8 years now.   It was a life changer for me to order Power 90 off an infomercial one night while I was on a break at work, looking at my bulging belly and feeling like "You know what, Dale, you really need to do something about this...you've been wanting to do something for years!"  90 days later I was 25 pounds lighter, my body shape had changed dramatically, I looked and felt 10-15 years younger, and I could do things I could not do in years.  From that day on, I have continued to "push play" using Beachbody programs.  They are best workouts out there!  They are complete, well researched, and they get all the important parts of our bodies without having to spend time driving to a gym and using unneeded expensive fitness equipment.  I would put Power 90 or P90X workouts against ANY commercial gym or personal trainer workout and guarantee better results.

I have mostly done Tony Horton's fitness programs over the years like Power 90, P90X, and the other supplementary workouts like P90X+ and .  I'm looking forward to P90X2 this fall!!!  Power 90 is still my all time favorite workout program.  It is the most efficient (time spent for the benefit) workout program ever.  I still use my DVDs that I bought in 2003.  But I have done workouts by the other trainers as well, and they are all amazing.  One look through the Team Beachbody website will show amazing results obtained using any of these programs--results that are on par or even more impressive than the results seen on "Biggest Loser".  What amazes me is that the results Beachbody customers get come without the fame and motivation that would come with being on a TV show and being personally "flogged" by their expert trainers every day.  Beachbody programs and nutrition programs give the best results anywhere.

My latest workout program is a hybrid of Power 90's sculpt 3-4 and Abs, with Shaun T's Insanity: The Asylum, and the normal Insanity workouts (not sure I can put the word NORMAL in the same sentence as Insanity!).  It is an amazing combo of workouts that allows muscle development, and optimal fat burn and cardio conditioning.  I'm working on getting off the last bits of winter fat from the belly and getting my six pack again.  It's hard to always keep the six pack!

But I know, from 8 years of doing this, that I can do it.  Anyone can do it.  It just takes some discipline and consistency.  Workout at least 5 days a week.  Eat "clean" 90% of the time.  I use Shakeology, whey protein shakes, and eat at least a couple of healthy meals a day.  I never feel deprived.  Find people to help you stay accountable to the program and your goals and becomes fun.

I love Beachbody.  That decision to order Power 90 in November 2003 changed my life in so many ways.  I got into the best shape of my life and continue that through daily use of their programs.  I've met and continue to meet lifelong friends.  I became a Team Beachbody Coach and have helped others lose weight and get into great shape.  I'm grateful to be a part of all of this.

DrDale..glad to see you are still at it. We met at Tony's fitness camp many years ago, if I remember correctly, you flew yourself in for the weekend. What fun it was to rock climb and workout with Tony on the beach. I await the release of P90X2, it is nice to have some choices to workout with. I have kept up with my fitness and compete in triathlons every year since 2003, it was P90 and P90X that allowed me to get back in shape and learn how to be an old man and still fit emoticonKeep Pushing Play.
