One day, I saw the Turbo Jam infomercial and unlike all the other kickboxing
DVDs I’ve seen, Chalene’s enthusiastic personality peaked my interest. I sat
through the entire 30 minutes thinking that this could actually work for me.
I’ve had a background in TaeKwonDo and loved taking dance classes at the
gym. I felt it was a perfect marriage of both dance and martial arts. For 3
months, I dedicated myself to pressing play at least once a day for 6 days.
Some weeks I pushed play twice. I was hooked from the very first time I
pressed play. I couldn’t get enough of the choreography and cast.
Depending
on how much energy I had on a particular day, I would always pick someone
in the group to emulate in energy. Turbo Jam reminded me so much of all
the
fun times I’ve had with my martial arts training. With a 1200 calorie balanced
diet, I lost 30lbs within the first 3 months. I couldn’t have been more elated
about the weight loss in such a short period of time then at that particular
moment.


When Rockin’ Body came out, I knew I just had to try it out. Once again, I
saw
the infomercial and thought it was a great change of pace I needed. When
the
package came to my doorstep, I immediately read through the information
and popped in the first DVD. I instantly fell in love with Shaun T’s infectious
attitude for dance and couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact the
choreography was easy to learn! For an additional 4 months, I lost 14lbs and
this was when I realized I had hit my plateau. I kept pressing play even
though I knew the progress was slow coming but I couldn’t get enough
dancing!



I realized that if I wanted to break through my plateau, I needed something
different. I visited the 10 Minute Trainer Forum and read numerous threads
of
people’s progress. I was intrigued and ended up getting it. I was diligent in
eating right and following the schedule as it was laid out. For 6 weeks of
doing 3 workouts a day, I slowly saw the scale move down 4 lbs and I lost an
unbelievable 7” all around. I was pleasantly surprised and happy that my
plateau was finally broken.



I knew that by my 3rd week of 10 Minute Trainer that I was ready to tackle an
even bigger challenge, P90X! At this point in my journey, I knew I was
mentally prepared to try such an extreme program. Day 1 came for me and I
remember being so excited and exhausted at the same time, I couldn’t wait
for the 90 days to arrive. My body had changed so much up to this point; I
knew it could only get better from here. Days flew by so quickly as I was
mentally and physically challenged. Prior to starting the program, I couldn’t
even do a single pull-up. Now I can do 30! My strength has increased and
my
confidence has shot through the ceiling. I’m excited as to what the future
holds for me with the X.
