I am 67 years old and have been in poor physical shape all my adult life. I worked for 40 years behind a desk. My health has been complicated by the fact I am an insulin dependent diabetic with high blood pressure and I am more than 25 pounds overweight with limited muscle strength.

Having said that, I have some very positive progress I’d like to share with you.

My wife and life partner, Helene, excels in preparing great nutritious and balanced meals. We have eliminated processed foods from our diet and make all our meals from scratch. It really is not that hard to do, especially when we have a little time as we are semi-retired. We do not drink soft drinks and we watch our salt intake carefully. We stopped smoking and drinking more than 10 years ago.

Two years ago I was 250 pounds,70 pounds overweight. I have since lost more than 55 pounds....so I am more than half way to my goal weight of 178.

I am in preparation to start the P90X program on Oct 1st, 2009.

According to the Fit Test I would barely qualify to start the program right now.

I can do 7 push-ups, but only a 1/4 chin-up. It is really hard to lift 195 pounds.

Until recently, and over the past two years, I was exercising around 400 calories a day

I learned that each P90X work-out burns in the neighborhood of 600 calories.

In anticipation of this I have upped my exercise regime and now I work out to about 800 calories a day. I figure that if I do that for six weeks, the P90X program will be a snap.

I walk 3-5 miles a day and have a light weight-lifting workout. I have also started to cycle 6-8 miles every other day at 10 miles an hour..

I am reviewing each of the 12 CDs, trying out the exercises and learning what is required to to keep pace. I have a work out partner, CoachKenGamble, and together we study 2 workouts a week; so in 6 weeks we will have learned all 12 and be ready to
go!.

Taking the time to familiarize myself with the work-outs and upping my exercise to 800 calories is my way of preparing my body and building my personal self-confidence. I wish to eliminate the possibility of failure and the experience of guilt
and disappointment that may accompany any setbacks along the way.

Helene and I love to travel and the Beach Body Business opportunity fits us perfectly We can keep fit and have an income doing so.

We spent the last 27 years in the computer industry, building and selling thousands of computers to all kinds of people.

We were busy, but due to the competitive nature of the computer business we did not make enough money to retire on.

One thing though, we always provided a lot of "one-on-one" personal support and coaching to our computer customers. And boy, was coaching ever needed in the early days of the personal computer business.

One day we found a way to help us retire and still enjoy a modest lifestyle.

It is called eBay. Today we sell surveillance cameras all over the world. We do this under the name DuncansOnline. And in doing this, once again we find ourselves coaching people every day..

Our computer background enables us to help others use our surveillance products in conjunction with the Internet. They watch their homes from their offices, and vice versa.

Years ago we had network marketing experience. We became familiar with how someone can succeed by helping others, working closely with people, building a Team.

While we are not experienced physical fitness trainers we are still able to set an example for others as we transform our own bodies and our state of health embracing the superb Beach Body programs.

And we think that is a story in itself. As senior citizens, we want to be at the forefront of the fastest growing segment of the population, the elderly, in terms of our physical activity and well being.

We believe we have the ability to build a very successful Beach Body team. And not just of elderly people. We want to share our lifetime of experience with young people.

We pledge to work long, hard and diligently to help and coach young and old alike to be successful at both the Beach Body health programs and the Beach Body business opportunity.
