Are you ready to get in the best shape of your life. Hi everybody! My name is Mark Goins and I am a 39 year old average guy with a wonderful wife and three kids. I have never done any weight lifting programs but have dabbled in fitness from time to time. My whole life I have wanted to be really fit. I wanted to be the ripped guy on the beach but never had the tools or desire to do it until

Transformation story

Two months before my 36th birthday, I went to get a yearly physical. I felt tired all the time and had absolutely no drive. My knees felt terrible and my back hurt more and more everyday. The results of the physical showed that my bad cholesterol was 222 and my good cholesterol was 14. It also showed that I was 186 pounds. The doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol drugs but I wanted to see if I could fix it with diet and exercise.

So I began eating better and exercising two to three times a week. I would do some cardio and some weights but never progressed past the top shelf of weights. I did not know what to do in the gym and relied on my friends to tell me what to do each workout.

After a year of working out, I was very skinny but not in good shape. When my workout partners stopped showing up than I stopped going to the gym as well. My diet become bad again and I gained a lot of fat back.

Every time the P90X infomercials came on, I watched them. I would say to myself, "I want to look like that" but I did not feel I could spend the money.

Finally after my 38th birthday, I decided to do the X. I got the program and did my best. I could not believe how bad I looked in my day 0 pictures. When I started, I could barely do three pull-ups.

I listened to Tony. I listened to my coach and after 90 days my body was transformed. I went from 26% body fat to 16%. I lost four inches in my waist and gained
a ton of muscles. My wife told me that I looked better than when we got married 10 years before. She even said that I was in better shape after 30 days than after a year of working out on my own. I feel better and look better but I am not stopping. I am continuing on this journey and will not stop!

My bad cholesterol is 125 and my good cholesterol is now 39. I took a yearly physical last week and everything looked great. When my kids ask me why I am doing P90X, I tell them because I want to be around to see their kids!

Now I want to give back to others and help them achieve their goals and look the way they have always wanted to look.
