Hello my name is Jared and I was born 2/26/1981. At the time I was born I had a hole in my heart and needed surgery ASAP. By the sixth grade I had been through FOUR OPEN HEART surgeries and one major heart surgery! The doctors told me I would have restrictions on my activities, like no weight lifting or pushup/pull up situations. They said, however, running was ok. I joined track in middle school and have been running ever since. In high school I picked up weight lifting for the first time. I wasn't in a sport in college, but I ran every night and picked up quick pick up games of volleyball. It wasn't until P90X that started seriously thinking about what I was putting in my body. Their meal plans were great and while I can't say I followed it to a tee; I did give it my best shot. Also P90X helped me push myself like never before. Every three years I go to the Cleveland Clinic to get my heart checked out. They told me when I was younger I would probably need another surgery when I reach my 50s. Usually every year I hear the same thing, keep active and you will do better. Last month I had my three year heart check up at Cleveland Clinic and WOW! The doctor told me I had surpassed all of his expectations! He also said that he was going to remove any restrictions from my activity list and he said he could tell I had been working out. Without doing P90X I don't think I would have heard the doctor say this. That program took my fitness to a whole new level. Recently I have been busy at getting a new job and there have been some family illnesses I have had to deal with and I have not been "bringing it", as a result I have gained some weight back. Plus with the recession work is cutting back, so I have decided to join Team Beachbody in an attempt to regain my finances and my health. The picture you see of the before is NOT of someone who just completed P90X I just want to make that clear. A friend of mine put it best when he said "God can move mountains, but I better bring a shovel." To me that means you need to put in the work if you are going to see results. I can't wait to start getting in the best shape of my life again (and staying there) as well as help others do the same! I trust God and I brought my shovel!
