Baton Rouge, LA As a 45-year-old police officer of 23 years, I decided it was time to prepare myself for my last 8 years of service and for my retirement. Why work over 30 years and be so unhealthy that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the retirement I have worked so hard for?!? I had been working out, doing mostly cardio, but not really going anywhere. My food plan was non-existent, and although I had lost weight in As a 45-year-old police officer of 23 years, I decided it was time to prepare myself for my last 8 years of service and for my retirement. Why work over 30 years and be so unhealthy that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the retirement I have worked so hard for?!? I had been working out, doing mostly cardio, but not really going anywhere. My food plan was non-existent, and although I had lost weight in the past, I was the typical yo-yo dieter, losing and gaining, losing and gaining.
I had seen the P90X infomercial many times and had "threatened" to get it but never followed through. Some of the young guys on my shift were doing P90X and having good results so I finally took the plunge! On April 13th, I started my first round of P90X, doing the lean version. I must say it was difficult, as this program is not for the faint of heart! But I stuck with it, and the longer I went without missing a day, the more determined I became. The workouts began to get "easier", but not easy! I was doing more reps, raising the weights, and my pushups were steadily increasing.
If you think you can't do it, you won't. If you don't start now, when will you? Don't delay, start today, and keep pushing play!

I am a P90X graduate! I finished the program in 90 days, completed 99% of the workouts (missed one), and added three extra cardio workouts weekly for the last six weeks. I lost a total of 14 pounds, but lost 19 pounds of fat and added 5 pounds of muscle. I reduced my body fat by 22% and lost 18 inches!
I'm running, preparing for two half-marathons back to back on Saturday/Sunday in mid-October. Also throwing in some P90X Plus workouts, Tony's One on One series, and resting from weights for two weeks.
