Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Here is my embarrassing story. Last year (3/25/08) I began using P90x in
hopes of being in "the best shape of my life" by time I turned 40. Fast forward
348 days and I am in the worst shape of my life. I purchased P90x although I
had not done Power 90 nor had I consistently done Slim in 6: Beachbody
highly recommends that you do one or the other prior to P90x. At the time I
was "skinny fat" and thought that I wouldn't have any problem doing P90x.
Hindsight has proven me wrong. Now I realize that although I did P90x
consistently for 77 days, I could not and did not give it 100 percent of my
effort.

After two months of P90x I began running 5 and 10k races with friends from
work. I was by no means a runner and I would only run once a month. Yet, I
was able to run these races with minimal effort because I had built up
strength and stamina from P90x. The problem began when I stopped doing
P90x. I thought I would be able to retain my weight loss with minimal
running a month and no resistance training. Obviously I was wrong.

This month I started running 3 times a week in hopes to lose weight that I
had gained over the holidays and from the pure gluttany I displayed on a
recent cruise. Unfortunately, I have always had problem with shin splints and
can not run as often nor as far as I would like. Though I did lose 5 lbs. from
running I am still 10 pounds heavier than I was this time last year. And to my
displeasure, I am much, much flabbier than before.

Luckily, Beachbody continues to play their informercials and this morning
while drinking my cup of joe, I was reminded of the wonderful P90x cds that I
have and the amazing changes that were awaiting me.

So here I go again. And this time I plan on making it a lifestyle change.
