I am 52 years old (ouch, I certainly do not feel 52) and happily
unmarried to my Coach Robert Cohan for the last 16 years. I have been
working out since 2004, when we both started Power 90 after our
friends, Beachbody Coaches Tony and Dawn Barca had such amazing results. They
are our living before and afters.

I always thought I was fit and strong until I started Power 90, and actually
found out I had been fooling myself. The programs definitely helped me
build up my strength and stamina. I am a lady battling the menopause
monster and I refuse to give in. I had lost a lot of weight about 18 years ago,
and was pretty successful about keeping it off until my late 40s when it
started slowly creeping on and accelerated soon after having a hysterectomy
at 48. I had been doing Power 90 before the operation, and give it all the
credit for my super speedy recuperation. I was the strongest lady in the
ward, and was walking and cooking 5 days after surgery. I have been able to
maintain a level of fitness now that I never had when I was younger.

I had also been suffering with a bad back. I had damage from a pinched
nerve, which affected my right arm and shoulder. Last year I finally gave in
and discovered my inner yogi. I had been avoiding yoga, and had to make
myself do it. I started P90X Yoga and stopped going to the chiropractor for
the first time in 7 years. I give all the credit to P90X Yoga for repairing my
back, and building the strength in my right arm. The added bonus came with
my new found ability to do push-ups which were always a problem for me,
so I avoided them. Now I can punch out twenty seven from my toes. I no
longer have to do them from my knees. I am almost doing a pull up for the
first time ever. I just used to hang there, now my chin is nearly over the bar. I
should be there with a full pull up by the end of the spring. I just keep
pushing play.

I am determined to maintain the strength and stamina I have built. My
ambition is to be an active 90 year old lady punching out 90 push-ups
someday.
