I devoted the first 20 yrs to a gym, my friends thought I was nuts when I decided to workout at home with something off the internet called P90X!! I wasn't so sure myself until I got a few weeks into the program and started to see solid results.
Before P90X all my workouts were in a gym,I was fit & my nutrition kept me healthy but still didn't get the results I was looking for. Once I turned 40, almost like someone threw a switch, my metabolism changed and not in my favor, which is how this journey begins ~
This is my story:
My turn around point was a Nov 2006 trip to South Beach, Miami. While it was a fantastic time, ran the boardwalk a few times but the rich foods caught up with me. That trip to Miami was the beginning of what would become an eating season for me. Before I knew it I had outgrown my largest size in my closet, I had to make a choice: shop for larger sizes or do something about it, I decided to get real. A March 2007 a trip lit a fire under my now larger backside. I needed help and found it with an online weight loss message board who posted encouragement to each other, I lost 15 pounds by June 07, I was pumped..
In October of 07, I met a new group of fitness and health enthusiasts, they were talking about something called P90X, with great results too. Wanting something new I decided quickly to try it out, P90X was just what I needed to kick my fitness into high gear. Hitting my goal weight came quickly, now have 7 rounds completed of P90X, I am still improving with the program each and every time.
I found that having accountability with nutrition trackers and real time goals really works for me. My weight still is changing but in small increments, now it is the tape measure that tells the story as I am reaching fitness levels I have never thought possible even at 47 years old. The cellulite, yes cellulite,is starting to thin out and I can see some definition in my thighs for the first time ever.. yeah me....

I was always interested in fitness, would follow a schedule but not enough to give me the look I desired or hoped for. I had a routine from a trainer which had become dogeared with time and use. I realized that meeting like minded people really help me keep my focus and visualize my goals.
Home and family cut into gym time so I started a home gym. Everything went well but I missed my fitness friends, welcome board roups.
I found Wowy, now teambeachbody, when searching for a long lost friend. I started using Beach Body in January of 2009, I decided to take the plunge with P90X and I am now looking forward to exploring all the programs Beach Body has to offer.
My first program to complete was P90X, it was love at first workout. After 20 years of the same old routine it was nice to just let the pro's do the thinking and just try to follow along. Running the DVD in the morning before work is the best part of my day, I love the blood pumping challenges. I certain felt stronger and more agile almost immediately with a new spring to my step. People started making comments which is not something that has never happened to me before. I was amazed at the transformation in my appearance and ability to better my performance on the workout logs. I can do things now that I don't think I could do as a teenager. It is hard to explain the way this program makes you feel about yourself and how it improves more than just your physical self. I have self confidence to try new things and experiences in life, for once I am having fun.
I loved Tony and P90X but I knew my busy spring gardening/work schedule wouldn't allow another round of the X so I tried ChaLEAN Extreme® for the next round. ChaLEAN is another great workout, quick, efficient and heart pounding. The slow reps give me the time to really look at my form and fix anything wonky. I love ChaLEAN for her perky upbeat attitude and amazing workout crew.
My latest addition was a must have as a Yoga workout on a Hawaiian beach. Ho Ala ke Kino is another great routine to work into a tight time slot. It was filmed in 2004 and has beautiful background scenery, my husband loves the early intermission for some reason. :) I travel with that DVD now and love the morning rejuvenation when on the road trying beat travel stresses.
I am just now starting the lean phase of ChaLEAN Extreme® so I am very excited to push play and for the latest challenges. I can't wait to see what wonderful things my future brings..
Insanity ~ January 2011 I started with program and it is a challenge. I won't lie and say I wasn't afraid to fail, I did it and didn't always do well but I do it anyhow.. because that is what athletes do... I still throw in a YogaX or Xstretch on my rest days just because I love them so much and core synergy too.
