Well where to begin?


I guess you could say my start with Million Dollar Body happened a few years back in 2004 at the trail end of a Slim In Six commercial. I had seen the infomercial and had remembered that many months before I had caught the Power 90 commercial and had found it interesting. A few days later I looked up the website and after awhile was amazed and inspired by all the testimonials of people who had completed Power 90. I was just blown away by the results of people like Mark Briggs, Traci Morrow, Tony & Dawn Barca, Monica Ward, and several others!! The results were almost too good to be true, so I hung around for a month or two and satisfied my skepticism while I teeter tottered around with maybe investing in one of the products. What I found was an an amazing and openly honest support community in the message board threads. After awhile the excitement of reading about other peoples struggles and journeys rubbed off on me and I was sold. Power 90 was for me. I was convinced it was the real deal.

I really needed a boot camp too. There was no excuse for a 27 year old male to fall off the wagon the way I did. I was so out of shape I could not even run but for a few seconds without having to sit to breathe, and my muscles would be on fire. My bad eating habits created a plethora of physical problems like reflux disease and asthma. A liter of Pepsi a night was not doing me any good, and that fast metabolism I used to have when I was in highschool seemed to have vanished. Slowly but surely the pounds began to pack on, and I got too looking nasty. Girls would run by me and slap my gut, and I started to get comments by family about how bad my gut had gotten.

Well one day that was it: I simply snapped. I decided that with my other stresses in life letting myself go the way I did was not acceptable anymore. Not being extremely self driven on my own I realized this was a problem and was determined to change this aspect of myself with first a small goal: to get in shape in 90 days. How could I fail? I could only fail if I let myself continue the cycle that dooms so many of us. So I absolutely tackled P90 like an animal. Every night at the same time I met up with an awesome late night group of WOWY buddies and pushed forward. It was no easy task. My motivation waned, some nights I wanted to throw the DVD out the window, and for awhile I cursed Tony vocally and visibly for making me do the set of 7/7/7 push-ups. It was insane how out of shape I really was. The first 30 days did not show much change, but by day 60 I was definitely starting to turn a corner and by day 90 the results that I have experienced physically have been amazing. Where at the beginning I could only do maybe 15 or so pushups without dying, I was able to knock out two sets of 50 pushups like nothing. Okay well maybe a little bit of sweat!! ( smiling ) My strength, balance, and aerobic function have all increased quite a bit, and because of the new healthy eating habits and exercise the pesky medical conditions have been tamed to a manageable level.

And unlike other fitness programs, the support and I have gained from The Million Dollar Body community has been key to helping a guy who was not active for most of his life, continue to walk that important journey of making good choices and caring enough about himself to take care of his body. It is truly a whole new paradigm of living for me!! I truly am blessed by telling others about Million Dollar Body and helping people succeed with their goals as well!! After 3 years and another round of P90, some Master Series and some P90x; I am still an avid believer and user of the awesome products offered!!


There are certainly many other amazing stories before me and many to come after me that are simply mind blowing, the odds and struggles faced. I however, just represent the person who was misdirected, someone who had drifted off for awhile, and knew I had to change!! A predicament I think probably alot of people find themselves in. Your not in the worse condition but your not in the best condition either and you are looking for that one single thing to grab onto that will help you break free into a whole new kind of life!! Let me tell you if you can muster up the enthusiasm, effort, and energy to BRING IT and BRING IT HARD for 90 days, Power 90 and Million Dollar Body are that ticket to a changed life!! It is the real deal!!! It is no scam. You will get results for sure!!! It did it for this skeptic, and will do it for you. A big thanks to Carl, Jon, and Tony Horton for all that you have done, and for creating "THE BEST" in-home fitness products on the planet!! You guys rock!!
