Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I actually started my transformation over 4 years ago, when my wife(at the
time) finally got me to try her Power 90 workout with her. We had went on
vacation that year in Florida for our anniversary and had a picture taken while
we were out celebrating( see my before picture), I could not believe how big I
looked, I was shocked!

That started my road to getting fit. We completed Power 90 and P90x(5
times and counting!). It is so hard to put into words what this program can
do for you, and how great you really can feel. I have never felt more satisfied
in an accomplishment in my life. I went the entire first 90 days without
drinking one beer or pop. Making it through March Madness, sitting and
watching hour after hour of college basketball, and not having a beer with my
buddies was very tough; but it was something I wanted to accomplish. I never
dreamed I could go that long, but I know that is a huge reason why I lost so
much “gut fat”.



When I use to exercise I hated working out in the morning; never
could get it to stick; it was always just easier to hit the snooze button. For
these workouts I get up every week day at 6am and complete the workout ,
before my son Alex wakes up. By having to just “press play” and do what
Tony tells me to do, it makes that 1 hour workout the most productive it
could ever be. I no longer waste time deciding what I am going to do next,
Tony tells me what to do, like it or not!



On the second round of P90x I mixed it up a little bit. I decided
to go to Chicago in October 2007 for the Urbananthlon; it was a 12 mile race
that combined running, climbing and jumping over obstacles. It was an
awesome experience. I ended up bring 4 other P90x'ers with to share in our
unique race experience. We all plan on going back next year and doing it
again!






UPDATE: September 2008- Although I have had great strides in the
last 120 days physically, it has really been the "mental transformation" that I
am most proud of and want to share.
It has been a tough and interesting 2008. Along with working in the real estate market, and we all know how bad that has become,In June 2008 my divorce
from my wife became final. It is simple, divorce sucks. This was one of the
toughest things I have been through in quite some time. My workout became
less and less frequent and I ended up going on some "medication" to help me
deal with the situation. 3 to 4 weeks into being "medicated" I found that I was
someone who medication acutally makes worse, not better. Long story short,
I quit taking them all together and decided to turn all my negative feelings
into positive energy and really recommit myself to my Beachbody workouts.
Funny thing started to happen when I did this, my mood changed, I felt
better, life started to be fun again. I didn't need pills to make me feel better;
just exercise and the support I recieved on the Beachbody message boards. I
know medication does work for some people and helps them tremendously, I
am certainly not advocating that everyone needs to throw out their pills if
they are indeed helping them. But for me anyway, working out and sticking to
a plan helped get me through it all, where now I can see things are going to
be just fine; life is good again and I can't help but think my new outlook has
a lot to do with these programs on Beachbody. I wanted to share some of my
personal story on the web site, because I know there are people out there
right now in my exact same situation, the divorce rate is 50% afterall. Just
know that, even at it's darkest hour, there is always hope, you just have to
"keep pushing play" and believe in yourself and the FACT that life will indeed
get better. I am also currently pursuing my NASM personal Training certification, which I never would have dreamed of before I became associated with Beachbody and their fantastic products!




Update December 9th 2008:

I am now an NASM certified personal trainer! I am so proud of myself, it is hard to put into words. When you look at how this year started(divorce, feeling crappy about everything) and how it is ending(feel great, look great, and have a new career), I AM SIMPLY BLOWN AWAY. I never would have gotten to where I am today if it was not for Beachbody and Tony Horton. This company is a life saver for me, it can be for you too. For anyone who is reading this and is thinking "I can't"; just start saying "I can try" that is all you can ask of yourself. Start with one day, turn that into one week, into one month, and pretty soon life is gonna start feeling and looking better. And please, contact and use your Beachbody coaches, we are here to help. EVERYONE needs help at some point in their life and it is ok to ask for it. This truly can be your start to a healthy lifestyle, you just gotta believe. I do.



The MDB club and its workouts have helped provide a total transformation for
me. I think those of us who complete these programs all probably feel the
same way; we just want to meet our trainer in person someday, wether it is
Tony or whomever, and just tell them thank you and express our extreme
gratitude for making it all possible. The funniest thing to me is that, when I
started out, I had planned on doing this for 90 days. I believe, for me,
Power90X and Beachbody have went from a 90 day program to a life time
program. Thank you Tony.
