Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I was feeling too heavy. I was at my highest weight ever. I had absolutely no energy. I was feeling depressed because I needed major neck surgery and I did not know if I was going to be alright afterwards. It was uncertain whether my neck problems were going to be resolved or possibly made worse.

After the surgery and because I was planning on retiring soon, I began to examine my life. Recently, several of my younger co-workers had died as the result of living poor lifestyles. Well, I had just turned 56 in August and my father had died at the age of 56 so I knew I had to do something. I did not want to end up like him!

Then, I saw the infomercial for Hip Hop Abs with Shawn T. Because I enjoy dancing, a big light bulb went on. “There it is!” I said. “I have a workout vehicle that will work for me!” So, I bought it as well as the brand new Hip Hop Abs Dance Party Series.

When I came home from the hospital, I started watching the DVD's. I couldn’t wait until I could try it out. I talked to my doctor and as soon as he gave me the “green light”, I got started. I had to take it really easy at first, just barely moving. But, each day I was able to push myself a bit more.

Since starting this new exercise program, following the Michi’s Ladder guidelines (to get the right nutrients), using the supplements and adding Turbo Jam and Power 90 to the exercise routine, I have been able to lose 61 pounds and my pants size has gone from a tight 42 waist to a loose 36!!! My outlook on life has changed. I am feeling more energetic. My vitality is through the roof. My physical therapy has been progressing at a more rapid pace than even the doctors expected. Heck, even my wife says that I am a “brand new man!” I look forward to the future with greater enthusiasm knowing that I will have the ability to enjoy it more. As soon as my doctor says it’s okay to add more intense workouts, I will be adding P90X.

One thing I have noticed with this new found fitness is I can’t keep it to myself. I need to pass along this feeling. I have been talking to my 87 year old mother about introducing some sort of workout plan (like Tony and the Folks) to her exercise group at the senior center. I enjoy working with people. If I can give someone just a taste of the feeling I get from being fit, I know they will be hooked. This is the reason I decided to become a Million Dollar Body Coach.

I want to thank Million Dollar Body for introducing Hip Hop Abs and Shawn T. into my life. I feel better than I have in a long time. I also want to thank all of the people in WOWY and the cooldown chatroom as well as my new friends throughout the Million Dollar Body Community for sharing their day with me.

I know that with all the support and tools provided by Million Dollar Body, the sky is the limit for my health and fitness. I know I will forever be "PUSHING PLAY".

IN THIS WITH YOU!!
