Team Beachbody Guest

I have always been into fitness and working out, regularly hitting the gym or running on the trails. But then I got into a bad relationship with a controlling man who questioned me if I was even 10 minutes late coming home from work. I stopped going to the gym because he said it took too much time away from him and it was just easier than fighting. I started eating junk food all the time because that was all he ever wanted to eat and it was too expensive to shop for different food for each of us. He was a hockey player so he burned it all off...I had a sedentary job so I wasn't so lucky. By the time I left the relationship and got into my own place, I didn't even recognize my body as my own. My clothes weren't fitting, I was sick all the time, and I couldn't stand to look at myself undressed. I decided that my recovery process from the bad relationship was going to revolve around getting back into shape, so I immediately started following the South Beach Diet and making it a priority to hit the gym after work. My job, however, made it difficult because some days I wasn't off until 8:30 at night and had to be back at 9 the next morning. I lost a few pounds on the South Beach, but the going was slow...and then I started P90X. It was the perfect solution because I could be done with my workout in an hour, instead of two and a half hours after figuring in commute time to the gym and waiting for machines. Within a month I had lost 10 lbs and a ton of inches. Unfortunately, I didn't measure or weigh regularly, so I don't know exact numbers, but I do know I got into incredible shape in record time. I swear I saw changes each and every day. I knew I had gotten great results when the man I had started dating told me I had the body of a 19 year old :) and people at work were asking me what I was doing.

I started out with P90X back in February 07 and loved it..but then I had surgery on my leg and was away from working out for 6 months. I tried to jump right back into the X and discovered pretty quickly it wasn't going to happen that way, so now I own Slim Series and Hip Hop Abs, as well. They are challenging and a nice change of pace, while at the same time work well with a slight injury. At 5'3 and 108 lbs, my goal with these programs is to improve my muscular and cardio endurance, regain my muscle tone, shape my body, and lower my body fat percentage. I can't say enough good things about Beachbody..the programs are fool proof! I actually canceled my Bally's membership (sorry Bally's) because I was seeing better results in two months with P90X than I had in two years at the gym. I'm looking forward to working out in WOWY with all the other dedicated Beachbody fans!
