Hi my name is Tawny, I am turning 50 in about a month. I enjoy running but I have been looking for something to help me get in shape and tone my body, especially those "thunder thighs" baggy upper arms and waist. I saw the ad for P90X but I thought it seemed a bit too X-treme for me to start with so I decided to go with Slim in 6. I also have a Bowflex and a Malibu Pilates chair. I am hoping

Hi my name is Tawny, I am turning 50 in about a month. I enjoy running but I have been looking for something to help me get in shape and tone my body, especially those "thunder thighs" baggy upper arms and waist. I saw the ad for P90X but I thought it seemed a bit too X-treme for me to start with so I decided to go with Slim in 6. I also have a Bowflex and a Malibu Pilates chair. I am hoping the SI6 program will help me improve my confidence, and balance so I can incorporate the pilates chair into future workouts. The Bowflex is a GR8 machine very well made and works well but I have had it for a few years and need to get motivated to use it again with regularity. My husband tells me I am the only one he knows who has to get in shape just to get in shape. My problem is I am in pretty good cardio shape but not the best shape muscularly, hence the pilates chair. After I tried some of the moves they do with the chair, it became apparent that I needed to improve my muscle tone and my balance before I attempted to master the chair. I guess you have to be a woman in my shoes to understand. I hope that someday in the not too distant future to work my way up to the P90X program, then my husband can have something to take with him when he travels, and I will have something to use at home as well. I also have 3 doggies, Denny a 15 yr old Cairn Terrier, Teddy a 3 yr old Cairn Terrier who is also my running buddy, 5 miles is no sweat for him, and a Mini-Schnauzer named Nestle she turns 1 yr old Sept. 6th. She thinks her brother Teddy hung the dog biscuit. Needless to say I am a dog person. Dogs are the best! They love you no matter how old you get or how out of shape you are. I went to see the movie "UP" I would gladly pay for 3 of those collars that let the dogs speak, just to know what they are thinking. Any way I am committed to getting in shape. I have done well in the past got down to 130lbs. a few years ago and then got back into that bad fast food habit, and eating donuts etc. Sweets are my downfall, I never met a cake I didn't like. Turning 50 soon is my motivating factor. I always thought of that age as a "better do it now before it's too late age." My husband is planning to do the workouts too, only he is waiting to get arthroscopic knee surgery, sometime in early September. We plan to get healthy together and I think Beach Body will get us there. Well good luck everyone and thanks for listening! Have a GR8 workout, hope to see you in WOWY or in the cool down chat room sometime. P.S. DID YOU KNOW? Pushing play is the new black!!!
