Team Beachbody Guest

I'm fit, feeling great and nearly 44!
I have been an avid P90X'er for three years and am in phenomenal shape! From a health perspective, I have decreased my high blood pressure medication from 50 mg/day to 12.5 mg/day. Additionally, I just found out that a recent blood test shows that I have completed menopause. Imagine my surprise at this information considering that I have had no hot flashes, have been sleeping great and have not gained an ounce of weight. I am sure that I have by-passed a pretty significant event in a woman's life because of “clean eating” and my daily exercise routine. Additionally, numerous studies have been conducted proving that exercise alleviates some of the physical symptoms associated with the menopause. I am certainly a walking testimony to that fact!

Prior to finding Beachbody, I was in OK shape, but had noticed that my weight was starting to rise (after hitting the big 40!). Of course, I wanted to do everything possible to curb the trend of weight gain after the age of 40.

Fortunately for me, I was introduced to Beachbody and the array of fitness DVD’s that allow me to work out from the convenience of home with the built in flexibility of working out morning, noon or night. I started with “Slim in Six” and then progressed to P90X. Within a few weeks of starting the P90X videos, I was amazed at the success of losing body fat and building lean muscle. To overcome any plateaus, I have added P90X+ and the One on One DVD's to my workout rotation. To really mix it up, I occasionally use the Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam DVD’s. I have also been attending a Tony Horton fitness camp on an annual basis to really pump up the enthusiasm!

After my first 90 days with P90X, I lost 13 lbs and have continued to maintain that weight. To date, I have steadily reduced my body fat from 25% to 21% and continue to build lean muscle mass. From a health perspective, I feel terrific and have a tremendous amount of energy.
