I am a 57 year old husband , father of 3 children and a dentist by profession.I have always valued staying in shape and being physically fit. I believe that early good habits develop into life long good habits and pay off in life. I believe that life can be most rewarding if we actively engage ourselves in activities that will keep us mentally, emotionally,
physically, spiritually and financially fit. As a youth, I enjoyed skiing, and wrestling. I studied karate for a while.

I have been dedicated to my fitness for many years,especially weight training and running, not on a competitive level, just for my own self confidence. I enjoyed the science and the "art" of being able to transform and guage the results I saw in a mirror by altering the workouts and monitoring diet. For
several recent years my exercise routine was sporadic and fit in where time allowed. It was not a priority. There were plenty of life events that de-railed my exercise schedule, like work and kids and too far of a distance to get to the gym.

In January of 2007 my wife and I made a commitment to make our physical fitness a priority again. I saw an infomercial for P90X and decided that P90X was my ticket back onto the fitness train. P90X is just what I needed to make this happen for me. I am familiar with many of the exercises and disciplines used like the karate, the strip sets, the plyos, but have never had it all put together for me as P90X has.

The Nutrition Guide from P90X has been helpful in preparing meals that provide the mix of nutrients I need to keep my energy
level up for my workouts. I generally look for the quick results and have been pleased to see them, but P90X is best approached as a life long commitment and as long as I continue to participate I will always look and feel better and hopefully will add many youthful years to my life.

I have been using Beachbody fitness programs and supplements ever since starting the program, I have completed 2 official rounds of P90X and am into Round Three to finish out 2009 for the next 90 days, but I have also been "Pushing Play" with other programs such as P90X+, Insanity, Ten Minute Trainer, Slim n Six, and One on One with Tony Horton (and many of the other Beach Body programs) between rounds of P90X. I like the variety of workouts that are available through Beachbody, all different and interesting, but all geared toward and able to help you get in great shape and stay involved. All you need is the desire to be fit for yourself and for the ones who love you and depend on you.

My goals are to be able to give 110% though out every workout
without pushing pause, to be able to do chin ups and push ups, and the Abripper exercises to match Tony and the other workout partners on the TV. I want to look and feel like I am committed to my physical well being. I hope to be here along time so I can play with my grandchildren someday in the future.

My success and passion for my fitness and the Beachbody programs have allowed me to help other people get in better shape as well. Beach body has developed a coaching program that rewards me for recommending the Beachbody programs and assisting other people in accomplishing their fitness goal. Beachbody believs that most attempts at one's personal fitness fail due to lack of continued support and the best support can come from workout buddies, so they have created the coaching opportunity, the online virtual gym called WOWY(Work out With You)on Team Beacbody website, the message boards, and now the many support networks on the social networks like Facebook. I recommend Beachbody programs to anyone who has an interest in fitness anyway, so in March of 09 I offically became a Beachbody coach. It was just a natural extension of what I was doing all along... recommending, encouraging, and mentoring. If you would like help, guidance, and encouragement in getting your self into better shape and being fit again or for the first time, I am here to help in any way I can. You too can get in great shape and earn some extra money helping others get in shape. Let's make America a fitter nation and help solve our health crisis

Transformation story

I have been using P90X since Feb 2007. I am still pushing play almost everyday. I had been in a holding pattern for quite a while after going through my first round of P90X. I had time constraints that made it difficult for me to stick with it unless I was willing to get up at 5:00 AM to do the workouts. So for the past 2 years I have been getting 3-4 workouts in per week. I have mixed in some P90X plus workouts which are also fantastic workouts. In February of 09 as I approached my 2 year anniversary, I re-committed myself to getting in the best shape I could. I want to see the six pack again and I want to be able to do the push ups and chin ups as easily as Tony does them on the videos. Starting March 1 I committed to get up at 4:50 every morning to do a workout and I am doing a round of P90X. I have dropped 10 pounds and have shed 6% of body fat. The six pack is looking better every day! I have become a coach and am using many of the Beachbody supplements which along with a great diet are essential to getting peak results. I look forward to helping any one who is interested in the joining the Beachbody revolution, get in the best shape of their life!
