I am a 52 year old woman. I live in Florida and work out of my home.
I began putting on weight in my thirties, but the past few years have really packed on the pounds. This is due to several reasons. One of which, my metabolism has slowed with age, but primarily because I have had 3 back surgeries over a 5 year period, all trying to fix the same problem. Each back failure, surgery and recovery I am a 52 year old woman. I live in Florida and work out of my home.
I began putting on weight in my thirties, but the past few years have really packed on the pounds. This is due to several reasons. One of which, my metabolism has slowed with age, but primarily because I have had 3 back surgeries over a 5 year period, all trying to fix the same problem. Each back failure, surgery and recovery brought my physical activity to a screeching halt. Prior to my back problems, I was active and played tennis and golf on a regular basis. Thankfully, the 3rd and final surgery was the charm that brought success. That was a little over 3 years ago and I can, once again, play tennis and golf but have not gotten into them on a regular basis as I am way too out of shape.
Another challenge to getting back into shape is the fact that I work at home. I don't have the opportunity to get out and walk from the car to the office, possibly up flights of stairs, etc. Because of this, I need to make an extra effort to add exercise to my daily routine.
I've tried gym memberships and enjoy working out in classes such as spinning, pump and boot camp, but I had to fit their class schedules into my schedule. With Beach Body, I can schedule my workout with my WOWY buddies into my daily schedule, which I love! I am thrilled I have found Beach Body!
After each of my back surgeries, I went through physical therapy. All my Physical Therapists stressed the importance of strong abs and a strong core to help support me and relieve some of the pressure on my back. While I didn’t keep up the exercises I learned in physical therapy, their words of wisdom were not lost upon me.
I started getting my body back into shape with Hip Hop Abs with Shaun T. I want strong abs and I love to dance. A real winning combination for me. I am so excited about the results I am seeing, as well as feeling. I have decided to take my fitness to the next level and have started P90X.

Progress:
My first month with Hip Hop Abs, I lost 10 lbs, and definetely had stronger abs.
I just completed my first month with P90X. I have lost another 5 lbs and am definitely stronger. My knees and ankles have stopped hurting, my endurance has increased as well as my energy level. It is tough work getting my body back into shape, but the results are definitely worth it.
Getting back into shape isn’t easy. The first week, I had trouble keeping up with the video and I was definitely out of breath. I could hear my lungs wheezing as they weren’t accustomed to taking such deep breaths. But I lowered the movements in the routine to ones I could handle and kept moving the entire time. By the end of the first week, I was able to keep up with the video without the wheezing sound when I took deep breaths. My back muscles also went into shock the first week. My back hurt for a few days as the muscles were shocked by my new found activity, but as they’ve recovered and strengthened, I can tell I am standing up straighter and taller. No back pain to report!
People around me have begun to notice my weight loss and I even had one friend comment on how healthy I was looking. I am so stoke. I am feeling so much better and stronger. Daily routines are easier to handle such as carrying groceries, take the garbage out to the curb, etc. I am sleeping better and I have more energy. My improved food choices, exercise and nutritional supplements are affecting my entire appearance which includes my mental and physical state of being. I am so excited about the possibilities as I continue to progress toward my goal. Thank you Beach Body!
