I am 55, am married, work full-time and have two children (ages 20 and 24) and LOVE the BeachBody products and programs! Best of all, I am in the best shape of my life! The scale may have read lower in my late 20s, but I was not really fit. Now I am!

I work out about 6 days a week, and love mixing things up. So currently, I am doing the TurboFire and ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid Program. Best of all, my 20 year old daughter both have these routines and it has given us something to share, even when she is out of state at college. She'll call and ask , "What did you do today?" and she means which workout routine? A HIIT? Fire 60? Tone? Sculpt? I introduced her to ChaLEAN Extreme a few years ago, and she would tell her friends, "I do my Mom's fitness DVDs, and they're HARD!". When I sent her TurboFire as part of a Halloween Care package last year, she said it was the BEST package I had ever ever sent! She was a soccer and track athlete in high school, and while no longer competing at the collegiate level, was determined not to gain weight in college...and she hasn't! She's also looking great, works out about 6 days a week and is also a Zumba instructor on campus!
Here's some background on my personal story with Beachbody and fitness! My Dad was always athletic, but his weight always flutuated, When he passed away 17 years ago, I took a look at myself, then 38 and said, I should start working out. Joined a local gym doing aerobics, step, muscle, and other group exercise. It was a great gym, great instructors, but then it moved, and I couldn't get to classes at the new location juggling work and getting kids off to school, etc. Joined another gym, which wasn't as good, but closer by, but was really getting there just on weekends, and most spinning (which is a great workout that I still love to mix in.
Using e-diets and their workout routines, I lost 20 pounds in 2002 and kept it off for about 3 years.I then changed jobs, was working out less, and the weight crept back on. I then discovered Turbo Jam and had great results with that, and also have a spinning bike at home, but somehow I had hit the proverbial "plateau". I ordered ChaLEAN Extreme as a Christmas present to myself three years ago, lost 15 pounds and have been in maintenance since! (Told you I was in the best shape of my life!) I LOVE the workouts AND the Cookbook/Recipe/Food Guide that came with it! Then last February (2011) I ordered TurboFire and have become a FANatic of my third Chalene Johnson program!
I did the full 120 day TurboFire Program, and since then started mixing it up with other routines. Last fall, right during the holidays, I was able to drop another 4-5 pounds! Guess I will feel great as the mother of the groom in summer of 2012!!
I also became a coach, and started adding Shakeology to my daily routine (usually after my workout).
Thanks, Beachbody for all of the great programs and products!
