My Overall Goal: Get Healthy

Success Story

Krist Voiles Won $1,000 in December 2009

Krist Voiles wasn't extremely obese, but he was out of shape and unhappy with his body. He considered himself a classic couch potato.

"My eating habits were terrible. I snacked on all the wrong things. I was eating late at night, junk, candy, ice cream, snacking at work on all the wrong things. The most exercise I got was the walk from my car to the elevator in my work building."

Now in his late thirties, he began feeling sluggish and less energetic. As the father of a little girl, he worried that when she got older and more active, he wouldn't be able to keep up with her.

"I felt like I didn't have the energy to keep up with a young baby at that time, and it really bothered me."

Now wanting to live healthier, he wasn't sure where to begin. He knew a gym membership was out because they were too costly. While in this curious state, a curious thing was happening to his wife, Jude. She had been working out to Turbo Jam^® and was getting great results. He thought maybe there was something for him in the Beachbody^® catalog of workouts.

"We sat down and we looked at some of the videos, clips online on the Web site showing parts of the workouts and what comes with the program."

The couple decided to order P90X^® and do the workout together. Jude was a Team Beachbody^® Coach and knew exactly how to coach Krist to keep him motivated. She became his Coach and began holding him accountable. P90X was tough, but Krist's biggest challenge was overcoming bad eating habits. That's where Jude stepped in again. Following the P90X meal plan, she began making all their meals from the nutrition guide.

"It kept us on track as far as what we were eating on each day. We were eating the same thing, so it made preparing food a lot more simple. . . . They give you a whole list of foods to choose from. They give you basically a portion method and a menu method, and you can just take your pick as to what you want to do."

Eating cleanly and working out to P90X has helped Krist lose 40 pounds and cut his body fat from 24 percent to a lean 8 percent. Following in his wife's footsteps, Krist has become a Team Beachbody Coach as well, so he can help others just like his wife helped him. For all of Krist's hard work and dedication, he is a $1,000 winner in December's Million Dollar Body Game.
