I am a 51 year old Doctor with 3 kids. I have been active all my life with a love for fitness but it has mainly been hiking in the woods and looking for some new shortcut to fitness. I know there is not one but that has not stopped me from trying. I know that my biggest challenge is my diet. I do not mind the exercise but lately I have started to feel old. I feel stiff in the AM and tired in the evening. I feel like I am not the example that I want to be for myself, My children or my patients. I don't like to take my shirt off and find that I am looking for ways to hide my belly. Not to mention the old man looking back at me in the mirror. I know that I am getting older but I am starting to feel more like life is passing me by. I want to be looking towards my future and not looking to the past. That has to change and that will change. I have committed to myself to get back into shape again and not feel embarrassed by my body image. I am committed to getting toned and my waist line back.
The area that I have struggled with is that I have tried many programs that have not worked for me. I worked out hard and followed the programs to a T and did not get the results that others got. It is 2 years later from when I wrote this above and I did update some of that. I have completed the P90x and I gained good muscle mass and lost some weight. I was into the process and then I moved homes and I lost my workout space which had tall ceilings and a place for the weights. SO.. I looked for alternate options and that has led me to Insanity which I am starting today. I just got the program in and I am excited to get started.

My Progress

My fitness goal: Lose Weight

Transformation story

I have struggled to stay motivated to workout. I think the biggest challenge for me is finding the time priority in the mist of the many other options that can come our way and distract me from my earlier goals. I have tried numerous tactics and bribes to keep myself on track physically and I do things all the time but nothing that is constant until now.
I discoved that I was making working out to difficult. It was taking time out of my day to suit up, run, lift or do what ever. Now I have my resistance bands in my office, A TRX, my Beach body DVDs and this incredible site to keep my self honest. I workout all day now between other events by just doing a short set that may only take 30 seconds and then off to the next task. It makes me want to do more. I put in the quick 15 minute ab kicker from P90X and I am good to go!
I freed myself up and then wanted to do more once I started to just let my workout fit where it can and my results have been amazing. I will keep myself honest with this site. The Nutrition part of this site is the best!
Thank you Beach Body!
