Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I'd never had to worry too much in the past about weight. As a teenager who played softball nearly year-round on highly competitive teams, I could get away with eating whatever I wanted -- cookies, soda, mac and cheese.

However, after college and softball ended -- and my teenage metabolism was long gone -- I noticed that junk food, video games, and a full-time desk job were causing my body to change in a bad way. The scale began a gradual shift upward until I barely recognized myself in the mirror.

Efforts to get the weight off were unsuccessful -- cardio would only work a little, and then I'd plateau. My solution? MORE CARDIO. Then I would get burned out, quit, and gain the weight back.

One day, as I ran like a mindless zombie on a treadmill, I saw the original infomercial for P90X. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I tried it -- and it totally changed my life. In those 90 days, I was totally transformed -- mentally and physically. I learned the proper ways to exercise and eat. It opened a door for me to the world of fitness and I was hooked.

On the new P90X infomercial, you can see my story. I'm the second success story (about 5-7 minutes in). My name's Amanda B. and I am living proof that P90X works.

Since graduating P90X, I've completed several more rounds of the program, done P90X+ and incorporate exercise into each day. I do not feel like my day is complete without exercising.
I've also had an insatiable appetite regarding the science of exercise and nutrition. I started reading magazines. Magazines became books. Books became textbooks. Before I knew it, I had earned my fitness training certification. I now balance my sedentary desk job with my passion for fitness as a personal trainer and a Beachbody coach. My goal is to help people achieve an experience like mine -- to totally transform themselves for the better through exercise and good eating habits. It was the best decision of my life and I can't think of any job more rewarding than helping people get stronger, fitter, and happier.
