Team Beachbody Guest

Thanks to a very good friend, who is also my coach, I began
my transformation with Shaun T's Rockin Body in July 2008.
This friend knew I loved to dance, so this program was
perfect for me. At this point in my life, I was SO
miserable with my appearance and how I felt. I had pretty
much decided that having three kids had permanently changed
my body for the worst. I felt pretty hopeless about it. To
an extent I almost felt like I didn't deserve to "look good"
again. These feelings only caused me to be depressed and I
just kept eating more and more. My breaking point came when
I went shopping for a bathing suit a month before I started
with Rockin' Body. I was mortified at my reflection in the
dressing room mirror. I was so ashamed to be wearing a
bathing suit on the beach that looked like a dress. I
didn't want anyone to see my horribly out of shape body. It
was so depressing! One more thing that made me determined
to get fit was the family history of Type 2 diabetes in my
family. I did NOT want to be another statistic.

My good friend and coach actually bought Rockin' Body for me
and said, "Here! You've got to try this!" And I did! I
haven't stopped working out since. It's been a tough road
full of ups and downs though. I have inherited some chronic
back and neck problems that force me to visit a chiropractor
at least monthly. Throughout the last few months I've had
several mishaps of hurting my back and having to take days
off from exercise. I could have quit! There were days when
I thought that I should just give up. It was so
disheartening! But I just kept going and fought through the
tough times. My two "cheerleaders" kept me going: my coach
and my husband.

After using Rockin' Body for a couple of months, I tried out
Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, and Power 90. They were all great!
I lost a total of 20 pounds in the process! I started with
ChaLEAN Extreme at the end of December 2008. WOW! I have
lost 12 more pounds and I'm seeing muscles I haven't seen in
over 10 years and some that I've never seen at all.
Building muscle is truly the answer to all of us over 30
whose metabolisms have quit on them. I have the metabolism
of a teenager again and I feel like one too. I've lost a
total of 32 pounds so far and lost 16% body fat. I've gone
from a size 14 to a size 10. I haven't been in a size 10
pants in over ten years! I didn't think I would be that size
again, and I'm realizing the possibility of getting in to a
size 8. I didn't think it was possible. My advice to
everyone is trust the trainer and the program. You will get
results that will change your life for the better!

In addition to my own transformation, I decided to take
Shaun T to school with me and share my joy of exercise with
my students. The kids LOVE Shaun T's workout DVDs! They've
done the Fit Kids Club workouts and are now doing the Get
Real workouts. They think he's the coolest!
