I have always loved fitness and 2 years ago when I bought my first beachbody program, P90X, little did I know my fitness life & body would NEVER be the same! I just completed my 4th round of an Insanity/P90X 90 day hybrid and I'm in THEE BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!!! 318 pushups in one workout is an accomplishment to me, the very first round I was under 80! These DVD programs are the ultimate because of the diversity in muscle confusion & recovery it brings each week to my fitness program. To be able to put my workout clothes on, head downstairs and follow the schedule that's all professionally planned and just push play! That's it! Being lead by incredible instructors and the endless modifications are what make these programs endless & lifelong. I most love the ease of going on the road and being able to pack my gym with me so I stay on track!! Truly no excuses!!

It has not been easy. I have learned that " There is HUGE reward in struggle!!" and still applied it to my workout today! The first round of both Insanity & P90X were painful and slow, but amazing. One pushup at a time, one pullup at a time I saw incredible improvement, one that I've never seen before with anything else I've tried. To be able to work with my own body weight and lift myself is true strength in my books. If you have been doing the same thing for ~6 months, it's time to change it up!! Your body needs different, your body need challenge! That's where the magic happens!!!

I have a huge fitness family that has been my inspiration! Thanks to beachbody,facebook & twitter I have connected with the most positive, fit and inspiring people! The daily accountability and friendship is what has kept my fire fueled!!

I believe in these programs so much that I can't keep it to myself!! I hope you try one!! This fall I'm working towards becoming a certified fitness professional and can't wait to share my magic! Asylum is next up for me....October 1st the next challenge begins!! Would love to connect if you're needing the same in your life....we can do it together!!



The following was my bio on my first P90X round.....


I will introduce myself as a proud mother of 2, wife of an amazing man and serious, dedicated athlete. I am very excited to start this program on Monday. Monday is the first day that both my babes will be in school fulltime. I have been excited for this day for the last 10 years! I have stayed at home and raised our 2 children and now know that it is time for me!! This program is only one phase of the exciting changes I have instore for myself.

I have been an "athlete" all of my life. Sports just seemed to come easy & natural. I excelled at the sport of volleyball, and still play competitively to this day. It was after getting married (11 years ago) that the ease of fitness wasn't so natural anymore and I realized I needed to carve time out of my day for my fitness. I started running, and after the birth of my first I completed a marathon. Through the years while staying at home to raise my family, fitness has been my saving grace. My daily session were a bit of an escape from life, it was where I dreamed about fitness goals, focused on getting through tough workouts, and always felt accomplished when done and that I contributed to my personal bank in a great way!! Even though I was in the basement of our house, with a treadmill, elliptical, free weights and a swiss ball, I began to get creative. Many magical things happened down there!! I have a personal passion for fitness and have enjoyed the wonderful journey it has taken me on. My boosted self-esteem & confidence have been the rewards of daily dedication & hard work.

I am 30 days into P90X and I am loving the ease of popping in the DVD and being lead through incredible, different, challenging workouts. When I get up in the morning and get the kids off to school I can't wait to workout!!

Nutrition is something I hope to tackle and conquer in these next 60 days that are left. I am struggling to stay on track and be disciplined. I don't eat meat and am the world's worst cook and therefore struggle with prep, which I think is key. I by no means eat bad but I think I can see that fine tuning my nutrition is what sets me apart from where I want to be...when and what to eat, etc. I know I need support & more knowledge and a kick in the butt....feel free to give it to me!!

Pumped to be here!!

On March 1, 2010 I started my INSANITY journey. WOW!! I have 2 weeks left and can't believe what Shaun T and his crew have done for me. I LOVE this program and know I need to do it again, just to perfect the drills that I still can't do....I've never been in such fine shape!!! This program has showed me that there is HUGE reward in struggle. Without struggle, there will be NO growth!! With both months, it took me 3 weeks to be able to somewhat survive a workout. Within that last week beautiful things started to happen. Like being able to do level 2 drills completely. Being able to do consecutive power jumps!! HUGE PROGRESS WAS MEASURED IN THE LAST WEEK!!!
