I'm a father of 4 yr old triplets and a business owner of a growing heating and air conditioning company. Through graduate school at the University of Oklahoma, I trained heavily with weights and did some supplementing but never truly engaged dietary control. Then I didn't need to. Life took over after getting married and entering the work force and my commitment to staying in shape faltered. When my wife and I learned of our pregnancy with triplets, I committed myself to training for a marathon to get back in shape. Injuries took over 2/3 into the program and I was forced to stop running. Getting further out of shape, lifting triplets, and some physical demands of work led to back problems that left me on my back for a couple of days early this year. Upset that I had let myself get this far out of shape and while flat on my back, I watched advertisement after advertisement on the Fit Channel for the P90X and the Insanity workout. I was sold. My wife convinced me that I should start a shorter program first and make sure I would like a video type of program. That program was a 30 day program. It was ok but not intense enough. I had to supplement the workouts with a good run on the treadmill. After 6 weeks and dropping 16 lbs, I needed more. My chiropractor had done the P90X and raved about his results, confirming what I saw on the TV ads. He removed any remaining skeptecism I had and here I am. As a business owner, I have a tremendous amount of work to juggle. Add in triplets that need quality time, a wife that needs quality time and the occasional break from the insanity of 2 yr old triplets, I have my work cut out for me.

At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with cancer. The optomistic Drs. gave me a 50/50 chance. Other Drs. told my parents to prepare for the worst. I learned then the power of determination, discipline, and commitment. 6 months after the diagnosis, chemo treatment, and losing 35 lbs that I couldn't spare, I was riding my bike all over town again. At that young age, I promised myself that I would never get out of shape and would do everything within my power to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Fast forward 22 yrs and 91 lbs and whoops, I'm nothing that I promised. No longer able to metabolize whatever I ate, I packed on the weight. My before picture became my reality. Not exactly the picture of health that I promised myself. At the age of 36, I was borderline with blood pressure, cholesterol, and liver enzymes. Then I added back problems in early Jan 2010.

It was time to make a change and get the discipline in diet and workout back. So P90X I did and the results speak for themselves. My blood pressure is outstanding, cholesterol is perfect, and my back no longer gives me problems. I feel tremendous. No workout can give you the energy of 3 - 3 yr olds, but with my wife and I running zone defense on them we now have a fighting chance.

Not only do I feel better, but I feel great about how I look. I've had friends that haven't seen me in a couple of months ask me why I look younger and more vibrant. Thank you P90X.
