I am 47 years old. I am married and have 4 kids ages 10 through 21. My passions are my Lord, my wife, and my kids. My hobbies are computers and games...oh and working out at least since P90 :-). I used to be in pretty good shape. Ever since I was 16 I lifted weights, swam 50 to 60 laps daily, played racquetball, baseball...get the picture. I also did not worry about diet. For me a healthy meal meant anything with red meat, fried or pizza. Then came Rafael…
You see Rafael is my first born, and I am not sure what happened, but once he was born I had no time to work out. I became Papi (Dad). He was born in 1995. In 1997 I was hire into a great Job that required no physical activity other that pecking a keyboard. (I was an aircraft technician prior to that) The first 3 years of the job I gained 10 lbs. a year.
On June 2006, while serving as a camp counselor I participated in a slip and slide race. This race was videotaped so it could be used at a later time to promote participation in camp counseling. Around July 2006 I was watching the tape and I saw this overweight out of shape, middle age man that look just like me. I was shocked. I remember asking my wife “Do I really look that way?” She just said “yes, honey, that’s you.” I was embarrassed. Then to add insult to injury I found myself struggling to get into my 36” waist pants, and finally had to break down and buy my first 38”waist pants. I could not believe what was happening. I was feeling tired all the time; embarrassed of the way I looked, and defeated because I could not see me changing. Well around August 2006 I was starting to change from defeated to angry. I was tired of being tired. I was fed up of feeling embarrassed, and that’s when I saw it. It was late at night and I was stuffing my face with Oreos, wondering why I was so fat, and there it was Beachbody’s P90 program infomercial. That’s when I remembered that I had purchased P90 the prior year. I thought “Hey I have that and I am still fat” Well apparently buying P90 is only part of the formula. It seems that you must also do the program…I knew there was a catch. But was still skeptical because I do not believe in infomercials. I thought “Can it really do what this people are saying? Oh I don’t know about that.” So the next day I found my P90 DVDs, dusted them off, and opened them up for the first time. I took the DVDs and a TV to my basement, and stapled the 90 Day calendar to my wall. I took my before pictures, and I thought to myself “Ok, Beachbody, P90 thingi, let’s see if you really can do what you say you can. I will do my part and push play for 90 days, and at the end, we’ll see”
So, I did. For 90 days I pushed play and followed P90 to the letter. Oh, sure I felt like quitting several times. I remember that almost everyday at the beginning thinking “I’m too tired. I can just not do today, and I’ll start again tomorrow” But nope, I have made a deal with this program. I will do my part, Push play, and it will have to do its part, get me in shape, that was the deal and I was not going to flinch first. So here I was 90 days after, 20 lbs lighter, fitting loosely into my 36”waist pants. Wow life’s gooood, so what next? I am not just going to stop here. Can I do better? Can I keep this up?
I ordered P90M in preparation I went to the Beachbody boards, and asked people how to do this workout. I received great advice and a great routine for it. With new determination and commitment in my heart, I pushed play and continued to change my lifestyle for the better. I watched what I ate and when I ate it. I was tired and sore. I began to understand what intensity was. I started to feel like this was more than just getting in shape. Was this a new lifestyle? 90 days latter I could not believe it. I was fitting in my old 34” jeans!!!! What next? What? P90X? Oh, I don’t know. That is the big bad wolf of the P90 series. I am in good shape, but maybe I should just act my age. I am 44 years old. I might get hurt. Can I do this? Should I do this?
So I began my P90X journey. I read the guide. I recruited my wife to read the nutritional guide. We made a plan of attack. I knew I would need all available resources to master this program, so I ordered my recovery drink, protein bars, and vitamins. I was ready for battle, and so it began. The first month was hard. Plyometrics. Ouch!!!!!!!!! But I pressed forward maintaining intensity and good form, doing my best and forgetting the rest. In June 2007 I got the call. Beachbody was on the phone. I was the winner for June. What? Me. I can’t believe it. That was it. I understood that this was my new life. I was no longer a tired, embarrassed, defeated, middle age guy. I was the June 2007 40 to 49 beachbody at 183 lbs with 13% Body Fat!!!!!!
Today at 47 years young, 50lbs lighter with a 31”waist, I am a lean mean P90X machine. I am in better shape now than when I was seventeen. I am bigger and leaner. My cardio endurance is through the roof. I have a six pack!!!! And yes, Tony, I can kick the pants off of anyone not doing P90X. In 17 months BB and I erased over 10 years of abuse and neglect. I have become all that I thought I could never be physically. I am a walking health and fitness ambassador.
