Ever since High School, I have been active and competed in sports. Two of my
four years of college I ran track and was in what I thought was the best shape
of my life. After graduating and going to the Police Academy, I began my law
enforcement career, which has now lasted 13 years. During that time I got
married and my wife and I have had 3 children. Since that time, I had
continued to run early in the morning but ceased going to the gym so that I
didn’t take time away from the family. Even with that, I could tell that my
physical condition was deteriorating.

As I approached my 40th birthday, the TV kept throwing the P90X infomercial
at me. As I watched, a conversation flashed back to me that I had with the
conditioning coach in college. He said that “when you get into an exercise
regimen, especially later in life, it needs to have 3 components; cardio,
flexibility and strength.” Well I could have had a V8! P90X has all of that and
goes one step beyond with a dietary component. I told my wife and had her
look at the web site because I wanted her to do it with me, knowing that she
had NEVER done anything close to the level of intensity that this offered.

My wife hesitantly looked at the web site and said with trepidation in her
voice, “it looks painful”. After some convincing, she agreed to take it on. The
first week was rough and eating required conscious decisions. I didn’t quite
realize the changes that were taking place, until one day I noticed that my
duty belt was sagging. In fact my wife and I had gone to southern California
for a conference and after checking into the hotel, I realized I had forgotten a
belt for my suit. The entire weekend, I was pulling my pants up because there
was less of me to hold them up. By the end of the first month, 14 pounds had
disappeared and the 30-day pictures were quite revealing.

After “bringing it” for 60 days, and looking at the next set of pictures, I am
embarrassed that I had “let myself go”. When my wife took the 60 day
pictures her eyes got really big. She saw the 6-pack and knew there was
some serious change going on. I saw muscles I hadn’t seen since college. We
have another 30 days to go and I am bringing it every day and loving it. I am
looking forward to the 90-day pictures and comparing them to day 1.

Update: We are P90X Grads! My wife threw me a surprise 40th birthday/P90X
graduation party on Saturday! I am in the best shape of my life and feel
great! We are going to be doing the P90X Lean program until Jan, then
P90X+ to start off the new year right!! Thanks Tony Horton and Beachbody!
