Here is a little about me:

I just completed my first 1/2 marathon, The Detroit Free Press on October 18, 2009. I finished in 1:54:45, my goal was to beat 2 hours. I believe that P90X was the number on reason I was able to break the 2 hour mark by over 5 minutes. It taught me diet, fitness, steagth, and heart rate management.

I just completed my first 1/2 marathon, The Detroit Free Press on October 18, 2009. I finished in 1:54:45, my goal was to beat 2 hours. I believe that P90X was the number on reason I was able to break the 2 hour mark by over 5 minutes. It taught me diet, fitness, steagth, and heart rate management.

I was able to get my weight to a manageable level and now I can focus on adding more muscle for better definition. Now that I have finished the program, I find myself kinda lost on some days without the steady routine of P90X. I still do some of the workouts on off days from the gym. I got my body fat down to 12%, that is 11% lower in the 90 days. Now my clothes don't fit anymore. Not a bad thing, as long as they are to big.

I can't wait to start my next Beachbody program.

I have now completed 2 rounds of P90X. I getting ready to start Rev Abs on 3-14-2010. I did not lose any weight the second round but did build some good and visible muscle. Body fat went down another 1% too. Looking to be able to see my abs within the next 90 days, I think this program will do it for me.

I am 37 years old, married for 12 years and have 3 children 10-8-5. I have been running for about 18 months and working out at the gym for the past year. I have not gotten the results I would have liked. I did not keep up on my diet like I should have and think that is the biggest thing holding me back.

I have completed the P90X program on September 6,2009 without missing any workouts and sometimes doing extra. I lost a total of 35 pounds and 8% body fat. I lost 6 inches in my waist and 5 inches from my hips. And I look great for being 37 years old.

One of my co-workers suggested that I try P90X. I started looking into that night and then bought it the next day. It was the best money I have ever spent. The workouts are great and fun too, the diet plan is the best and very easy to follow.

I started the diet 2 weeks before the workouts to get my body adjusted to the different food I would be eating. The first week of the diet was the hardest to get used to, eating 6 times a day, but the right types of food. The workouts were intense to start with to start with and just when I got used to them it all changed (that's where the muscle confusion comes into play). Everyday for the whole 90 days I looked forward to working out, and on the rest days, I felt like I was cheating by not doing anything so I started to run again.

After the first 30 days I had lost 13 pounds and saw a huge difference in my body shape. All of my clothes were and still are too big for me to wear. After 60 days the muscle starting to show through and I was able to do all the workouts without pausing the DVD and often trying to intensify the moves a little more. My heart rate was lower and recovered faster then it ever has, which made my running easier.

At the end of 90 days, I had transformed my body into something that I had never even dreamed it would look like. All with a little discipline and healthy eating that never left me hungry for more food. But did allow me to lose body fat and have the energy to work out and gain muscle.

The message boards were a huge help with any questions I might have had or that other people had, which helped with the diet and workouts. They were the biggest motivator to never miss a workout too, as I was afraid of falling behind in the program and not finish on the scheduled date. I was determined to finish what I started and to finish by the the end date and not prolong it.
