Team Beachbody Guest

I stumbled upon an infomercial for Power90 six years ago while flipping through the channels. I liked Tony Horton’s face (still do :)) and what he said made sense. I figured any company whose CEO and President were willing to put up their before and after shots HAD to have a sense of humor, but also I loved their willingness to put their product to the personal test and find it to BE REAL. I saw the before and after pics and imagined after pics of my own.

On March 31, 2003 my husband and I Pressed Play for the very first time of what would become thousands, with Power90 Sculpt 1-2! I had no idea it would change my life as it has. I’d had four babies in five years, & didn’t like how my body had shifted. AT ALL! I’d never bought something from an infomercial before, but what else was I going to do? I did NOT have time to go to a gym with four little ones. That alone felt like a workout, but not one that would sculpt my body. lol Running and doing crunches was not keeping my body from morphing into a body I was not comfortable with. I even played in a co-ed adult soccer league, but still….saggy parts, out of shape parts. Gosh, years later I can still tap into that emotion of hating what I was becoming, and how I hoped Power90 would work.

My initial goal was to lose those stubborn last 15 pounds that I never could seem to get off. Three pounds down, five pounds up, five pounds down, three pounds up. I was sick of the yo yo. I didnt know how to break the cycle. Well, I did lose those 15 pounds, dropped 5 pants sizes, and Power90 broke the cycle for me & changed my entire body composition in a way I thought impossible, altered my thinking dramatically about food & exercise, & ignited a passion within me to help other women (& men too) find the tools to break the unhealthy cycles in their own lives! As I've maintained this healthy lifestyle for four and a half years now, I've gained back some weight in lean muscle, stayed in my small clothes, and continued to change the look and composition of my body. It just keeps getting better, instead of the opposite - which is what normally happens to women as they approach that...gulp....40th birthday. ;o) But whats a number? Bring on that 40th year - and may it be better than them all! :)

What started out as a drive to get rid of some body fat, has dramatically changed my life. Not just outwardly, but inwardly as well.

As I continued to grow and learn about health and fitness, I decided to get my personal training certification. It’s a great way to help spread the word, but its just one person at a time. The great thing about Beachbody programs and being a Beachbody Coach is that you can share with a whole host of people who are hoping this program will work for them as well! :) The whole site is designed to make it easy for anyone to learn to eat healthy, (Beachbody Club Menu Plans) create accountability, (by providing a COACH, the online WOWY gym, & message boards) & provide fresh, new, quality workouts from a variety of trainers, all with their own passion & style. And provide the motivation through The Game! Beachbody truly is a “ONE SITE FITS ALL”.
I have done all of the Beachbody programs created – from the maiden production that is Great Body Guaranteed to the latest and fun; Hip Hop Abs! I love them all for what they do for my fitness!
So just how has this company & website changed my life?
Let me count the ways:

***I was blessed to coach Sabrina Dunham, one of the 2007 Million Dollar Body Game $50,000 winners as she worked hard to lose 90 lbs with Turbo Jam and P90X!***
*I am in the best physical condition I’ve ever been in my entire life!
*My kids eat really healthy & completely different than we did before
*Our youth group kids at church lost collectively over 100 lbs after we taught THEM what we’d learned and introduced them to Power90
*My energy is through the roof
*I got to co host a health & fitness show on cable with Mark Sisson
*I’ve been blessed to participate in some of the Beachbody infomercials and dvd’s
*I got to host the MyBeachbody site in 2006
*Two years ago God called KC (hubby) & I to adopt our 2 youngest sons into our family from Ethiopia, & from all I'd learned, I knew how to feed them to heal their little bodies from a state of malnutrition with diet/supplementation and now they're THRIVING! :)
*I get to partner with Tony Horton as we put on fitness camps around the country
*I am blessed to be a COACH in perhaps the biggest shake up to health & fitness in our country: the launch of The Million Dollar Body Game!


And while every person’s story is unique, I love the way mine has unfolded…all as a result of purchasing a fitness product from the television! I have now completed three half marathons in the last 7 mos. and have committed to do one every 3 mos. with my sister, using Plyometrics and Plyo Legs to train! Taking my fitness outside and finding that not only does it make you look good, but enables me to enjoy fun things as an adult that I would have never imagined before! What do I hope to do in the future? Lots more – I have so much that I want to do to help others and change peoples lives through relationship support. To say I am grateful is the understatement of the year. And while I have maintained my results, & continue to stay lean and fit, I feel that there is so much more that I gained for my life from these programs. Fun. Fitness. Fuel. Freedom.
There is a country/world of people out there wishing they could find an answer and a way to improve their life. I hope to spend mine helping them find it!

Beachbody & The Million Dollar Body Game...it’s PRICELESS!
