frisco, TX Hi, my name is Karen, I'm 48 and I am a single mother of 2 teenagers in Frisco, TX. I like to work in the yard, cook, read and play with my 2 dogs and 5 horses. My life requires a lot of energy to keep up.
I also suffer from Hypertension. I kept in under control with diet and exercise for years, but as I got older it was more difficult to stay in shape and keep my BP under control. I am on Hi, my name is Karen, I'm 48 and I am a single mother of 2 teenagers in Frisco, TX. I like to work in the yard, cook, read and play with my 2 dogs and 5 horses. My life requires a lot of energy to keep up.
I also suffer from Hypertension. I kept in under control with diet and exercise for years, but as I got older it was more difficult to stay in shape and keep my BP under control. I am on medication, but since I have started working out and watching what I eat again my doctor and I agreed I could lower my daily dose! Like many people my weight and my commitment to fitness has yo-yoed over the years. I know how hard it is to stay committed with work and kids – responsibilities and commitments to others have a tendency to supersede our commitments to ourselves. It gets easier and easier to put off working out once you get out of the habit. That’s why it is important to have at least one buddy who helps keep you motivated and focused – to remind you how important it is to take care of yourself, so that you can better take care of the other people and obligations in your life. In the past I have joined gyms only to stop going due to over crowded work out areas and trainers that focused on what worked for them – not necessarily what would work for my body. I’ve taken classes in aerobics, kickboxing, dancing, etc. and found that most of the time the instructors didn’t take the time to teach you how to do the moves/exercises correctly, raced through the workout and were inconsistent in their classes. With the P90X and Power 90 workouts, Tony shows you how to do the exercises correctly and offers modifications and enhanced workout options with every move. I absolutely love being able to workout hard and not worry so much about the risk of injury or damage, because I’ve been shown how to do moves properly and allowed to go at my own pace until I was ready to “Bring It!” as hard as the grads in the DVD’s do. Starting INSANITY has taught me how to "Dig Deeper" and push harder. There is a workout routine for anyone and everyone - that is one of the things I love about the Beachbody products!
I want to help other people stay motivated and focused and to know that you can still have energy, strength, health and be fit no matter your age or current state of health and fitness - you just have to keep pushing play!
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like more information on the products, becoming a Beachbody member or becoming a Coach. My team is growing and you are welcome to join us on our journey to a better, healthier and richer life!

My goal is to lose inches and get toned and fit. I am eating better, drinking my Shakeology and working out daily with INSANITY! after 2 rounds of P90X- I rarely ever miss a day, but if I do I’ll at least do sit-ups, push-ups and yoga/stretching to stay focused and motivated. So far, at 2 weeks into this routine, my total loss since I started has been 11 pounds and about 8 inches. I am seeing great results and plan to keep pushing play to have the body transformation I want. BRING IT!
Well, I have continued to work out and try to stay on track. My weight came back up to 114-115 after dropping to 111, which is fine as long as I am still getting lean and building muscle. I have lost inches and dropped my body fat from 30% to 17.6% in 65 days!!! I have been monitoring my Blood Pressure and between the Shakeology and working out, my BP has stayed at a normal rate for me. I have an appointment with my Cardiologist in the coming months and I intend to discuss dropping my med dose even lower. Working out with P90X, drinking the Shakeology and being a coach has changed my life, my lifestyle, my attitude, energy level and my health. I am now helping my friends do the same thing. They have seen the changes that I am making and they want to make changes in their life, health and fitness as well.
Getting started is probably the hardest part, but it's never too late to start. Change your mind set from "I'm not sure I can do it" to "I wonder how far I can push myself?" Change your attitude and change your life. You just have to push play.
I finished my first 90 days doing the Lean program and had great results! I am on my 3rd week of Classic and can tell I'm burning even more calories and building more lean muscle!
I am six weeks into my 2nd round of P90X. I have hit my weight goal and most of the other goals I set for myself. Still struggling with pull-ups! :( I am so pleased with my results and will continue to push myself to get stronger and eat healthier every day!
Well folks, I've started INSANITY! I'm in my second week. It's a tough routine, but I am getting through it. I am taking breaks when I need to and drinking plenty of water. I should be lean and shredded when these 60 days are up! Stay tuned...
I finished INSANITY!!!! I am the fittest I have ever been in my life! My weight is 107 and my BF is around 15%. I've lost inches around my waist and especially those stubborn "saddle bags" that I never thought I'd be rid of. I drink my chocolate Shakeology every morning and my LDL dropped from 157 to 118 and still dropping :D Now I have to start shopping for new clothes that fit - YAY! If I can do it - so can you. DECIDE.COMMIT.SUCCEED!!!
I need to update this page! I lost all the weight I wanted to lose and then some. My body fat dropped to an amazing 14-15% and I feel incredible!
