More ...

I am a 40 year old mother of two fabulous, busy children, aged 4 and 7. I also work full time as a vocational counsellor, assisting individuals in identifying thier skills through the use of psychometric testing and work samples, and suggesting alternative occupations. For twelve years I worked at one institution, but changed when I returned from maternity leave with my son, because the management changed and it was far too stressful. I was responsible for the household, children, bills, work, etc. with no support, particularly when my mom passed away. I used to run, dance and do gymnastics when I was younger but did not have much opportunity after the children were born. It has been the last year that I have asserted my independence and started running and, of course, P90X. I feel so much stronger now and am hoping that these exercises will assist me during the separation process as well as allow my anxiety and depression to be controlled adequately so I may stop having to take medication to address this.

Transformation story

Having suffered through years of a bad marriage, bad job, no support, severe sciatica and the loss of my mother to cancer, I became extremely depressed and anxious. My self-esteem was...well, what self-esteem? I knew it was vital to make changes and, although in decent shape, I was feeling badly about how I looked and felt unattractive and unlovable. I got the P90X and immediately loved them. Most people tell me I should sell them becauses I'm so enthusiastic about it. I look and feel stronger than ever (at 40 years old and mother of 2). I can't wait to cycle through again and see how I change. I hate missing a single workout and find that I never get bored. I have only lost about seven pounds since I started, but my arms and shoulers look amazing and my legs are definately coming along. I've set new goals of a marathon in Nov. Around the Bay in March and a triathlon. My children (age 4 and seven) have also started exercising more and love it. I'm a P90X'er for life!!!! I can't wait for the new dvd. For now, I'm starting the next cycle and hopeully I will lose the last bit of muffin top and be a sleek fighting machine.
