First, thanks to my coach, Stephen Martin for putting me onto the P90X program. It had definitely helped my martial arts and my overall fitness.

I love to motivate and help people. Even though I am only on week 6 of P90X, doesn't mean I don't know fitness, exercise, nutrition, or working out. I can be reached on Facebook - Look up Roger Ringer in Washington DC. My profile picture is

I had a physical last July and the doctor told me that he didn't like the sound of my heart. I weighted 248lbs which was the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. Along with that being a disabiled veteran with numerous ailments included Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), GERD, and GOUT in both feet. It does make it very difficult for me to exercise through pain.

With a wife and 3 small children it put a scare into me so I started working out again doing martial arts, running, walking and weight training. I started teaching a friend martial arts and I really started getting into again and I met an instructor who owned a school in my neighborhood and we talked and he started training me part time.

I developed an intense workout and training schedule and was training between 2.5 and 4 hours a day depending on the day and from July 2009 to January 2010, I lost 24lbs and really felt good.

But I didn't feel good enough. There were days that I didn't have the cardio that I wanted when training. So the friend, my coach Stephen Martin, told me about P90X. I was always interested in it, but was never able to do it. He gave me the opportunity to do it and I started it February 8, 2010 and have never looked back.

My goals:

Build cardio for martial arts
Loose body fat/tone up
Build flexibility
Build stamina for martial arts

I have reached all my goals above so far, but as Tony says, I am still going extreme.

In going extreme I use the following equipment to add more to the P90X program:

Tower 200 Resistance Bands (All weight training)
Shadow Boxer Trainer (Kenpo X)

I put out some more physical goals that I want to reach and I am heading toward those as well. I feel great and I owe it all to my coach, Tony Horton, and P90X.

I am having and showing a lot of progress, but my one draw back is nutrition. Working full time in law enforcement, my wife working, and having 3 kids, it is really hard to follow or do the nutrition plan for the P90X program. Not to mention the economy of today and having to buy the right food. The healthier you eat, the more expensive it can be. I eat as best I can. I do burn more calories than I take it. I watch my fat intake and drink lots and lots of water. Any help from anyone in this area is greatly appreciated.

NOTE - I don't want to put before and after pictures on my profile as of yet because I want to finish the program. I do have them so far for Day 1 - February 8, 2010 and Day 30 - March 8, 2010.
