Team Beachbody Guest

My name is Michael V., I am a ex-high school football player at heart, who has recently turned 30 yrs of age. I have been a non-smoker for 6 yrs and have been slowly struggling with getting my self back in shape after years of excessive eating and drinking. My consumption of calories was way off the charts for my lifestyle after high school and into college, but I always ate well and partied as if I were still doing two a days practices for football season and playing basketball in my free time. I can remember my mother always saying that I ate very well as a young kid, but as time passed and the activities dropped off, the eating continued while pounds and inches on the waist line increased. A recent visit to the doctor for a physical check up in early 2009 really hit home. When the Doctor took my blood pressure several times from both arms he raised my curiosity, but when he told me the news of having high blood pressure and recommending some prescription to help lower it I almost hit the floor. And, when he told me I'd be on it for the rest of my life and began going over the minor complications that it causes, and that those things wouldn't need to be dealt with as they don't arise til later in life, I almost got sick in his office. I knew that things needed to a would most certainly change, however, it would not be on his terms, they would be on mine,...With the P90X!

I moved to Hartford CT 4 years ago on business and it was good timing. I seperated from a long time love of my life and always said I was going to get back in shape. I occasionally jogged and did some situps at the most.

I had seen the p90x program on television when I first got to CT, but never thought I had the time to do it in my busy schedule of Business travels and partime restaurant work (mainly to keep busy after the break-up).

A few weeks ago I was talking of getting back on track with a co-worker and mentioned the p90x program. he and I started to get serious and excitement began to grow. I started to visit you-tube and the beachbody website and review all the fantastic stories of other peoples success with the system. I was getting really fired up by now and decided to order it.

I have logged in to the teambeachbody club membership and buddied up with people and continue to connect with more people and have found that it is fueling the fire to reach my goals.

I have done the fitness test and am confident that I can and will hit my goals. I am only waiting on a heart rate monitor to arrive any day now so I can begin properly with all the pieces of the puzzle in place.

My goals are listed in the on-line provided tracking sheet and believe that thru the system provided with p90x, which was simple, straight forward, easy to understand, and so far just an exciting process each day so far,(and with the help of Tony and the rest of this amazing network), that I will not only hit my goals, but increase them as I go beyond them and get into the best physical shape & mental health of my life.

Looking forward to day 91,
Michael
