I'm 55 and have completed 2 rounds of P90X, one round of Insanity and one non-BB workout in the last year. I was the Captain of my HS Track/Cross Country Teams in HS. Spent 25 years in the Army, studied Korean Martial Arts, got my Black Belt in 1978 and 2nd degree in 1981. Problem is I smoked, in 2002 I had a heart attack and 4 x bypass surgery. Had gone from 185 average weight to up to 230.

I'm 55 and have completed 2 rounds of P90X, one round of Insanity and one non-BB workout in the last year. I was the Captain of my HS Track/Cross Country Teams in HS. Spent 25 years in the Army, studied Korean Martial Arts, got my Black Belt in 1978 and 2nd degree in 1981. Problem is I smoked, in 2002 I had a heart attack and 4 x bypass surgery. Had gone from 185 average weight to up to 230. I am back down to 185 and working to get to 170 and stay in shape.

In 2008, after doing round 1 of the X I was down to 192. My wife said she had never seen my stomach that flat, with at least 12 lbs to go, I let life get in the way and gained it all and more back. While I completed many more rounds and a previous round of Insanity I never got back down to that weight. Four years later I realize it is the diet. Given my heart condition that should be a major concern anyway, so from now on it's not about tomorrow or distant goals. From now on the goal is to workout and eat right and live right today, TODAY IS THE DAY!

As of today I'm at 185 feeling fit and good, getting lots of compliments and I can fit in a size 34 down from a 40. I'm on round one of the next year come April 8. So if you need some accountability, a periodic kick, encouragement or just somebody to talk to I encourage you to join me. Oh and I believe in doing your Yoga.
