Newport Coast, CA I am a retired gymnastics coach and now I have a desk job. I love the outdoors and participate in any and every outdoor activity (mt.bike, snow-board, climb, roller-blade, surf, etc). I have to stay in shape to be able to do these things, so I set up a home gym and started ordering Beach Body workouts. My youngest son, a firefighter, challenged me to try P90X about 2yrs ago.

I have to stay in shape to be able to do these things, so I set up a home gym and started ordering Beach Body workouts. My youngest son, a firefighter, challenged me to try P90X about 2yrs ago. I did and now I'm hooked! I have completed three rounds of P90X, a round of P90X+, a round of Insanity and one of Brazil Butt Lift since then. I started my "P90X-a-thon" (4 rounds in 1yr) Jan 2nd, I'm now on round 2. I've started subbing in Insanity workouts and P90X+ instead of Kenpo & Plyo at times because those were becoming less challenging. I love Pushing Play and pushing myself. I am a lean, mean, workout machine!! hahaha Aaaand... I just turned 50 June 1st!! Woo Hoo... BRING IT!!
P.S. I Love P90X so much that I started a blog about it called, "confessions of a P90Xaholic" hahaha... http://p90xaholic.blogspot.com

When I started P90X, I was hoping for some defined muscle and a bit of body fat loss. What I got was much, MUCH MORE!! Beside the ripped physical appearance, I gained things I hadn't counted on; huge strength increases, endurance, mind strength, sharpness and clarity, joy, and lots of great friends!
The most amazing thing I got from completing P90X was the fulfillment of a life-long achievement!! I love to rock climb but don't have the opportunity to do it often enough to be really good at it. My dream was to one day climb a desert tower at least 250ft tall, but I could never reach that ability level.
Two weeks prior to completing P90X, my husband and I took a trip to Moab, UT to do some 4x-ing & mountain biking. Again, I saw the towers and longed to climb one. My husband looked at me and said, "Honey, you are in amazing shape since you've been doing P90X, I bet you could do it." He called a local climbing guide and convinced them to let me do a test climb to see if I was advanced enough tackle a tower. They agreed to let me test. When I showed up, they were amazed that I was in such great shape at nearly 50yrs old. I passed the test climbs and they set me up to climb a 350'+ tower the next day (about the equivalent of a 40 story building). My dream come true!!! There are no words to describe the exhilaration I felt climbing that tower!! Then lifting myself to stand on the pinnacle and seeing majestic views for miles on every side was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life!!!
There was NO WAY I ever could have done it without the strength, control, balance, etc. that I gained through the P90X program. I had Tony Horton's voice in my head the whole way up, coaching me through the difficult overhangs and lifts, saying things like, "Just float on up, don't forget to breathe, just keep moving." My body was there for me, strong and agile, pushing, pulling, balancing, in fluid movements, I was amazed at what I could do thanks to the weeks of Push-ups, Pull-ups, Yoga, etc (and even Kenpo)!!
I am using my pinnacle pose as my "after" picture because that was such an epic achievement for me!!! :D
Thank you BeachBody and Tony Horton for making my dreams come true! Thank you for giving me something I NEVER even Expected!!! YOU ROCK!!! (and I rock climb) hahaha
