My Photos | Robbiej Hey there boys and girls.....Well, I was driving in to work one day and hit a speed bump (literally, not figuratively)…and my belly started jiggling....I knew at that moment that I needed to get in to shape………To further emphasize my need to lose weight, I saw myself later that week on a video hitting golf balls with a buddy…..We were both amazed at how “large” we looked on the screen…..I guess I Hey there boys and girls.....Well, I was driving in to work one day and hit a speed bump (literally, not figuratively)…and my belly started jiggling....I knew at that moment that I needed to get in to shape………To further emphasize my need to lose weight, I saw myself later that week on a video hitting golf balls with a buddy…..We were both amazed at how “large” we looked on the screen…..I guess I never really noticed how big I was getting because it was something that was happening gradually……But then, all of a sudden…..WHAM…it hit…It hit hard…I was overweight and out of shape…..I wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t do all of the activities that I loved…..I still played softball a couple of nights a week…..Still played football with the “fellas” every Sunday…..I was able to walk 9 holes on the golf course, but the added weight was definitely taking it's toll...My body wasn’t in the “athletic” shape that it once was in…… So, one Sunday morning, I saw the P90X infomercial and knew immediately that this was for me……It was built around the same exercise philosophy that I had been taught, 90 days…..3 days of resistance training....3 days of cardio/stretching….recovery weeks…..muscle confusion…eating well……. It had it all……and I wanted it…… I ordered the program, and waited anxiously for it to arrive…….When I finally got my little white box, I ripped it open like a kid at Christmas…..My wife and I started the program immediately…….We soon found out that, as Tony says, “this ain’t your momma’s workout”…..The first week was probably the hardest week of my life…..The workouts were grueling….My body had never been in that much pain before….and I didn’t sleep a wink that entire first week…..I would just lay there in bed, thinking about the day’s workout……I would then start thinking about the next day’s workout….It was all new….I was excited….I couldn’t stop thinking about P90X and how it was going to transform my life…… Well, my wife and I are P90X grads. We are on our 2nd round of the "X" and we're LOVING IT...We're sprinkling in a little of the P90XPLUS workouts as well as some from the 10 Minute Trainer series....We can’t believe the changes our bodies have made…..We want to thank everyone at Beach Body, Tony Horton and all of the great friends we’ve made on the forum for helping us discover the new “us”……..Thanks!!!

It's amazing to think about how out of shape I was a year ago. I started looking at some pictures from 2007 and was horrified. My family went on a cruise to the Caribbean in April. As I was getting everything ready for the cruise, I grabbed my passport....I opened it up and gazed at the passport photo in disbelief...Was that guy in the picture really me? I mean, I didn't look anything like that guy now....I guess the biggest question I had was "will the Customes Officials believe that we're the same person and LET me on the cruise".....Well, they did in fact let me on the Cruise Ship, and we had an amazing time. It was an incredible experience to have people looking at me while at the pool and walking around the ship. I could tell that they noticed all of the hard work and dedication I had devoted to my Beach Body workouts. Heck, some of them, even commented on my new physique. A couple of people in particular were the personal trainers for the Cruise Lines. I did my P90X workouts while on the cruise. I had so many people watching me and asking questions about what I was doing. Boris and Devin (the two personal trainers) even joined me for my X workouts ALL WEEK. They LOVED THE X!! It was an incredible experience that will forever be remembered.... Now, one of the biggest problems I have after doing the X is figuring out how to get my passport photo changed for my next cruise!! Goodbye chubby Rob and "helllooo" ripped Rob....Thank you Beach Body, Tony Horton, Shaun T and everyone around the forums. I couldn't have transformed my body from a "flabby" body to a "Beach Body" in just 90 days without all of you!!! Thanks!!! Now let's BRING IT!! | ||||||||
