Team Beachbody Guest

Hello, my name is Chad.
During high school and college, I was involved in a lot of activities and never had the need to watch my diet or exercise. Food wasn’t an issue. I could eat anything, from healthy snacks to junk food. I was never a muscle man or a health freak however, I always had dream of being one. Today, in my 30’s, things are different.

After graduating from college, activities had begun to fade. Junk food and alcohol consumed every meal. I knew that I needed a change so I changed my diet to meat and potatoes meals only. I started body building but was unable to make any big changes with my body and never felt any different. I never felt satifitied with my body or my health.

My life turned upside down after September 11th. I had worked for the airlines and ended up losing my job. Dealing with loss of employment caused me extreme stress, and financial ruin. I started drinking even more alcohol. My best meal was a hamburger and beer. I ended up getting another job. This time it was at a factory with rotating shifts. I wasn’t satisfied and it couldn’t compare with the airlines. I always felt tired and weak. I had desire to change, but how? The ads that I had seen on TV and the internet turned off since they were not working for me.

I ended up having accident with forklift at work. This put a lot of stress on my body and brought with it a long battle of recovering. I was still eating meat, potatoes and fast food. I still had desire and dream of being in fit and firm like a bodybuilder. I began to feel that my goal of becoming a bodybuilder was unattainable. It was all a scam and a waste of time to try and become fit. I lost my motivation.

One year after my forklift accident, I was in another accident. I remember laying there in the hospital bed for several days and dreaming about better health. I didn’t feel good about myself. I felt like a failure and I was weak. Junk food and alcoholics had put lot of stress on my body and health. I was tired of accidents, alcohol and the lack of self esteem. This hardship convinced me that I needed to make a change.

It took a while to figure out what to do. I needed to focus to make the right choices in life including my battle with alcohol. I started my own lawn care business. This required long hours and tons of physical strength. I was tired and exhausted, I still not happy with body and diet. I just had no energy. I was up late watching TV one night, and trying to figure out how to change my life, my diet and build my business better. I happened to see an infomercial for P90X. My gut was telling me to check it out, and looked too good to be true. I had seen far too many scams about bodybuilding and weight loss.

I had been watching it for several hours and decided to contact Beachbody for more information. I was expecting only details but referred me to my coach, Bobbie. I read Bobbie’s and a few other Beachbody member’s profiles. They were all having great success and weight loss. I was very intrigued and wondered how it was possible. I found my coach’s profile very interesting. She was so heavy before and now was in great shape. I still was skeptical and couldn’t make my decision. I began having nightmares about performing P90X so I decided it must be time to order P90X.

I was in contact with my coach and she had sent me several success stories. These people have had major life changes. I even remember one about someone right here in my home town. She even sent me her story that appeared on the local TV channel. As it turns out we live in the same town. I even remember seeing her story when it was aired on the news.

My order finally arrived. I was surprised that the program came with meal plans and workouts that didn’t require going to the gym. The plan made things easy and it was very convenient being able to work out right at home. I was so excited to start the program and work on changing my meals habits and exercise.

The meal plans and workouts have been successful. I am feeling so much better, my health is improving and it has done wonders for my self esteem. I have way more energy now than before. My also old injury doesn’t even bother me that much anymore. My fast food and alcohol diet, no longer exists. When I drive by the fast food restaurants, I’m not even tempted. I look forward to working out instead. I love being able to work out right in my own home. I don’t need tons of free weights lying around and I no longer have to wait for a turn with the weights, like before at the gym. I am able to complete my workout in less time than it used to take me at the gym and I didn’t even need to leave home. I have had unbelievable results changing my body with training that was provided on the P90X DVD. This training is priceless and you will not find it any where else.

I’m still working everyday to achieve my goal of having that bodybuilder body but now I know that it is no longer a dream. With P90X, I now know that it is possible. I feel so strongly about P90X and Beachbody that I have decided to become a coach myself. I hope that I can help to spread the word about Beachbody and help others find their path to fitness.
