Greetings all - I am turning 50 years old this year! I am a clinical research scientist and a Beachbody coach. I used Beachbody programs to get back in shape so I can enjoy some of my favorite activities like surfing, skiing and triathlons.

Like many people,work and family demanded much of my time and my health took a back seat to these important aspects of my life. I remained somewhat active but sporadic exercise and lack of a good program allowed the pounds to creep up slowly. Next thing I know I'm thirty pounds overweight. After trying to come up with my own workout programs for years, I finally saw a P90X infomercial and it really struck me as a well rounded program that could work for me. P90X and the online support helped me get it all under control, dropping the weight, increasing my strength and stamina, and gaining flexibility. This program has been really great for my surfing as well as all aspects of triathlon training. Now I intersperse Beachbody workouts with all my other activities to keep a well balanced and flexible physique.

There are so many great programs in the Beachbody repertoire that I am sure there is one that will work for you. If you are interested in trimming down, toning up, gaining flexibility and stamina, as well as generally feeling great about yourself, I would be glad to help you pick a program and get started.

My transformation story is in progress as I continue to use Beachbody programs as part of my lifestyle.

As of 11/19/07 I was waiting for my P90X to arrive in the mail and getting familiar with the message boards and MDB club. I had already improved my diet and dropped almost 5 lbs in just in the couple weeks preparing to start P90X. I did the fit test and started doing more push ups and pull ups in anticipation of the program. I was looking forward to reaching my fitness goals by making full use of P90X and the support of the MDB community.

After only 30 days of P90X I was down another 10 lbs and an inch of my waist. That was enough proof in the system for me already. I was even more fired up to see what I could do by day 60...and 90!

As of 3/14/08 I had completed round 1 of P90X. I was down to 174 (from 194). I was doing 12 wide pull ups on the first set compared to 3 when I started (usually about 85 pull ups total on the Legs and Back workout). And running actually feels good again. Thanks Beachbody! I'm stronger, faster and more flexible.

As of 8/1/09 - OK, it is about a year and a half since I joined Beachbody and started P90X. I have done 2 rounds of P90X. I continue to use the workouts interspersed with triathlon training. I have been holding steady at the weight I hit at the end of my first round of P90X, about 174. I have since become a Beachbody Coach and I am starting another round of P90X. I may still exchange some of the cardio workouts with biking or running, but I want to get a full round of the upper body work and really focus on the yoga and Abs. Looking to drop a few more pounds and a few more body fat percentage points. More updates coming soon!
