My name is Mark

I am a business owner, Father of two and a Vol Fire Fighter / EMT in GA. For the most part I have been in pretty good shape all my life. I have been very attentive to my health due to my own personal respiratory problems and my family history of heart disease. I started fire fighting about 5 years ago. During a training exercise I managed to dislocate my left shoulder and tore up almost every structure in my shoulder. I spent 8 weeks going to the doctor before they realized I had also fractured the ball of the humorous. I then spent the next 8 months rehabbing my shoulder. They said I was good to go. I had 3 months trying to work out and get back into shape. I went back to my doc for my final visit and he realized not all was as well as he thought. They did some test and decided that it was time for surgery.

So here we go again. Another 8 months of rehab and I now weigh more than I have in my entire life. I got up to 215 and for me that is a lot. A friend told me that they had seen this work out on TV and thought it might be up my alley. I took a look and bought it right away.

I have completed the P90X once and restarted it 3 times. I have the P90X+ and started it and have had to stop 2 times. I have to say I am very happy with my results but I do have to be honest in that I have not followed the nutrition plan at all. I have modified my diet but I still have my bad habits. If I were to follow the nutrition plan I probably would be 100% cut lol.

I am looking forward to starting the + program again on Monday and I will finish it this time!!!!!

I also like taking Taekwondo, playing chess and doing the fire stuff. I have been in the Disaster Restoration Industry now for 27 years and enjoy owning my own company.

My name is Mark

In 2006 I got injured doing fire training. I had been around 185 before I got injured. During the two years it took to get back to where the doctors said I could work out again I had gone up to 215 pounds. I was looking at having to go from 32 to size 36 pants. I was not happy with that thought. For me 215 pounds was an issue with my asthma. It made it harder for me to breath and even harder after I ate. I first did the P90X workout starting in January of last year and got down to 195. I was very pleased with the results. I have to be honest and say that I have not followed the nutrition plan but I have modified my diet, however I still indulge in some of my bad habits.

I can say that I was amazed with the results that I did get. So much in fact that I got the P90X+ and I will be starting it this coming Monday. Many of the guys at the Fire department had noticed a change and asked me what I was doing. Every person that will sit still for 5 seconds gets the info commercial straight out of my mouth. In fact the all the fire stations in our county now have the P90X work out in the station.

I am hooked on the P90X program and will continue to do it as long as the CDs keep working lol.
