Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

My name is Kristin, I purchased P90X two days before my 27th birthday as a gift to myself (I kept joking with my freinds that I had mail ordered a beachbody). I have honestly never been in very good shape at any point in my adult life. I've tried a few times, but once I had results I'd quickly loose them. There are many people in my family that are overweight. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself on my way there as well. I don't want to go there, I'm 27! I had also had a really down year, I spent a lot of time being unhappy. You're supposed to be in the best shape of your life and be having the best time of your life at 27 years old, and I definitely didn't feel that was the case for me. I really needed to make exercise and a good diet a regular part of my day. I consider myself to be a lucky person, I am able to say that I love my job! I am self employed creating beautiful and unique glass jewelry. You can check out my work at www.glassbykristin.com. Unfortunately my job has one really big downside, no physical activity! I sit in one place almost the entire day, and the only parts of my body that do move are between my elbows and my fingertips. I've been doing this full time for the past two years. Like I said before I have never been in good shape, but I was holding my weight around 145-150 with no activity from about 21-25 years old. Making the change to full time glass made a big change in my weight, and being down emotionally all the time didn't help either. I'd gained 25lbs.! So I ordered P90X and decided that I want to be lean, I want to be strong, and I want a beachbody!

Two weeks into the program and I was already seeing results on the scale and in the mirror, and feeling them physically as well. The first couple weeks were really tough, but by the end of the second week my energy was way up and so was my attitude! By two weeks in I had also gained a lot of knowledge as to what healthy living is all about. I was so wrong about so many decisions I'd made in the past concerning my diet, even when I thought I was making the right ones.

By day 30 I was very excited to measure myself and have my pictures taken. I would just like to point out how embarrassed I was in the before picture, I couldn't even bring myself to take the shorts off. By day 30 my confidence and mood had improved big time. By day 30 I had no problem wearing just the bikini! One, because I was very proud of what I'd done so far, and two, because I was determined and knew that the improvements would continue. By day 30 I was looking ahead and seeing the body I'd always wanted, but until committing to this program never thought was possible. I always excused myself from really trying for a body I would be happy with because I thought that I was just the way I was, genetics and all, and that no matter if I tried or not I wouldn't get the results that I really wanted. How foolish. I will have the body and strength that I desire, I just have to keep pressing play...................

Phase 2 of the program really took me about 40 days to do. The first 30 days took 30 days. I felt it was important to do all of the workouts in the program so if I missed a day I just started where I left off the next day. I made it through, and I did it all, I didn't skip any workouts. I was really impressed with what I'd accomplished in 60 days of working out. I hadn't dreamed of results like I had at day 60, and I still had phase 3 to go! I was determined to increase the intensity through the end of the program.

By the time I had one week left I was feeling wonderful! I could not wait to see the results of all my hard work. I had really gotten into the best shape of my life at that point. I was already making plans on immediately starting the program over as soon as I was finished. I was already checking out other Beachbody workouts to add into my P90X routine. I had become a walking talking advocate of Beachbody and P90X so I became a MDB coach! Throughout phase 3 I was feeling thankful that I enjoy shopping because my clothes kept getting TOO BIG! I could not wait to take pictures and measurements! When I took the 60 day pictures I thought the results were great, but I was skeptical as to how much better they could get. It's so crazy to me that I was looking forward to getting my picture taken in my bikini, I hated it and was so embarrassed the first time (I couldn't even take my shorts off). The truth is that maroon colored suit is actually too big on me to go swimming in, I'm afraid of it falling off!

At the end of the program I took my final measurements and photos and was shocked! I did make very dramatic changes in the final phase of the program. I was skeptical about making any more huge improvements since my body had already changed so much. It was absolutely thrilling to me to become a P90X graduate, what a sense of accomplishment!


After P90X- I feel better, I look better, I feel like I look better. I am in the best shape of my life! My life is better in every way. I hardly ever have a depressed day anymore. Anytime I feel down or tired I workout and it's like a huge energy and attitude booster. I've done my best and my body has done the rest, thanks Tony Horton, Beachbody, and all my new friends and workout partners at Million Dollar Body. I am now a P90X graduate and you know how I celebrated? I celebrated by pressing play again the very next day. This program did not only change the way I look it changed the way I live. P90X was like an education in healthy living for me and I consider myself a good student! I am now in the best shape of my life, my confidence is high and I do have that Beachbody that I ordered in the mail just a few short months ago!
