Team Beachbody Guest

I want to share with you and those you know and care about the passion within me to give the gift of nutrition, health, and fitness and to all those who are ready to receive it. I have recently created something that I have wanted to do for years! I have created an opportunity to share my passion for personal fitness!

Before 2003, I was unaware of my state of health and fitness. I had begun to put on weight, become more irritable, and sluggish than I had ever experienced. I noticed my attitude toward life was becoming steadily darkened as I entered my 30’s.

In 2003 I was 25 pounds overweight and possessed virtually no noticeable strength in my body. This was not my ideal self. I wanted a change.

I bought a couple of Rodney Yee yoga DVD’s and began working with them. The workouts were 20 minutes and length. It felt good to move my body and breathe deep; however, after weeks of this I did not see any real changes.

My wife Linda happened to be up late one evening and saw an infomercial on a fitness program called “Slim N Six”. It is a six week fitness and weight loss program complete with video workouts, a nutrition guide and resistance bands. Linda asked if I wanted to join her effort to get in better shape. I said yes. Six weeks later I was AMAZED at my results. I lost 25 lbs and look better than I had ever know myself to look.

I went to the tailor with ever pair of slacks and suit pants I owned and giddily took three to four inches off the waist. I was now size 30 inch waist. There was a feeling of awe that accompanied me now at all times and I wanted to keep that alive.

Linda and I decided that we wanted more. We went back to the company that produced “Slim N Six” and found an extreme fitness program called “P90X”. At the beginning of this program I struggled doing 2 pull-ups. After 90 days or 13 weeks of incredible variety of weight lifting, plyometrics, cardio, yoga, kickboxing, and nutrition I had become rock hard and stronger than ever. I reveled in totally new strength and enjoyed banging out 18 to 20 pull-ups vs. the two I could do before “P90X”.

My entire life experience started to accelerate. My attitude, relationships, even my real estate career began to be more enjoyable. I became excited by life again. People began to notice our transformations and my wife and I were regularly asked how we did what we did. We both began sharing what we could. Several of my friends and family members began working out regularly with me and some got their own program to work with at home. They too began to see amazing results.

It became clear to me that fitness and wellbeing is something that resonates deeply with me. This year I enrolled in the Cooper Institute to become a certified personal trainer to further my education and commitment to fitness. I’ll be completing this certification soon. I also became a Team Beachbody Coach http://beachbodycoach.com/gameface to create support and accountability for those ready to put forth the effort and accelerate their fitness desires.

So, back to what I am creating today…

I have founded through a group through meetup.com http://fitness.meetup.com/1000 that gets together once per week to take committed action to transforming their bodies and lives into the best they can imagine.

Here is the group description:
Beachbody® Total Body Transformation (Weekly Free Workout)

Come and “Bring It!” Meet & workout with others who take action NOW & start living a fulfilling life through fitness, nutrition and community support. Every week this group will experience a FREE body transforming workout from Beachbody® creators of P90X®, Slim N Six®, Yoga Booty Ballet®, Hip Hop Abs®, Turbo Jam®, Kathy Smith’s Project:YOU®, and more. Workouts will be without weights using your own body… cardio, sculpting, plyometrics, kickboxing, and yoga to name a few. I’ll rate each workout every week from ONE to TEN. ONE = fitness beginner. TEN = experienced athlete. Remember, “Do your best. Forget the rest!”

My life & the lives of many of my friends are for ever transformed with support & awareness from these fitness programs. I am creating the space to share that which motivates me most deeply. I am committed to transforming the lives of thousands people suffering from poor health & low energy INTO lives of wellness, high energy, passion, vitality, flexibility, relaxation & healing. If you enjoy the weekly experience, let me know! I’ll help you “Bring It!” SIX days a week with personal fitness and nutrition coaching. Decide. Commit. Succeed. You Are Closer Than You Think!
