Hi, I'm a mother of 4. I'm pretty slim but not as fit as I'd like to be, or even
used to be. I was a competitive swimmer at a higher level when I was young
and was fit as a result of that. I competed in some triathalons and remained
active in many sports over the years. 4 yrs ago i was in a bad car accident that left me in bed

Hi, I'm a mother of 4. I'm pretty slim but not as fit as I'd like to be, or even
used to be. I was a competitive swimmer at a higher level when I was young
and was fit as a result of that. I competed in some triathalons and remained
active in many sports over the years. 4 yrs ago i was in a bad car accident that left me in bed
with a ton of pain. I had a spinal injury and some brain damage. A year later
my husband passed away from a sudden accident at work. Injured and
depressed I continued the downward spiral and lost alot of weight, plunging to about 80 pounds from 105. Going
into year two of being a widow i saw a photo of myself and i was horrified. No
wonder I was sick all the time, tired night and day, yet not sleeping.
Something had to be done.

I started lifting weights to improve the strength of my back, but i knew i
wanted to do more. Scared to injure my back more a friend suggested i start with just the bar since it weighs about 8 pounds. It took me until year 3 to put one foot in front of the
other and get motivated to make the changes I needed to make to be healthy
and fit once again. I purchased the 10 Minute trainer knowing anyone can
carve out ten minutes! Even I could do that. Soon i was doing 3 of them a day and loving it. I got back much of the weight and muscle that I'd previously lost. I moved onto Hip Hop Abs looking for something with more challenge and a beat to keep me interested. Soon I wanted something more intense. I kept going up the ladder of successful fitness and purchased Turbo Jam. A few months later I got both Challean Extreme and P90X. Now I mix the programs..keep track on my calendar so that I can see what parts of my body needs work. I'm driven, I'm healthy and Fit like never before. I crave the morning workout and it keeps me energized for the day ahead. Thanks beachbody..keep pumping out the programs!
