My Transformation Story

Here’s my story about how I’ve reached my fitness goals. Read below and learn how you can get great results too.

Like most people, I was an active kid who didn’t worry about nutrition and exercise.That changed as I grew into adulthood and started having kids. I realized I needed to eat better and exercise after I gained about 15 lbs. I joined a gym and got a personal trainer. I got decent results, but it required lots of time and money, and I didn’t like leaving my kids in the day care there.

One night, my husband and I came across an infomercial for P90X. We watched skeptically for a while, but it looked like the real thing. I turned to my husband and said, “We should get that program.” He disagreed, so I said, “What,you think that it’d be too hard for you?” My question pushed a button, and he got it for me that week.  I committed to the program and went from a slightly high 24% body fat to a healthy range of 17% in the 90 days. But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to keep pushing, so I got Insanity and did that 60 day program. I went from 17% body fat to an athletic range of 12%. I felt so good after both of those programs. I could run up and down the stairs all day and not get out of breath. I could play with my kids and not get tired.

Now, after having my 3rd baby, I still look great and am doing P90X2. I love it! I found these programs create results, and they are the best programs available. I knew becoming a Beachbody Coach and selling the programs would be a great opportunity because I love helping others get the results I got. The best part is I get paid doing what I love.

Push by Chalene Johnson

I want to tell you about a book I am reading right now. It is called PUSH by Chalene Johnson.  In the book she talks about how to set goals that are true to your lives values. Then she goes on to teach you how to achieve the goals. As part of the book she includes how to achieve fitness goals too. I like how she says in the book, “Fully 80 percent of results will come from your nutrition. Exercise accounts for only about 20 percent.”

One of the big things she teaches is to keep a daily to do list and always have 2 things relating to your big goal for the year on that list. The other things you should always include in your daily to do list are 3 health and fitness related items: one physical activity, one nutritional habit, and once knowledge/skill/ tools-related task.

If you are serious about finally achieving your goals in life and losing the weight or toning up; then this is the book that I would recommend for you. She makes it simple and tells you exactly what you need to be doing to work towards those goals daily.

Katie's Story

Here is a story from my friend Katie, who transformed her body, and now looks like she did in High School! Thanks for sharing Katie!

In July 2009, I hiked with my church’s youth group. I was 70 pounds overweight, and boy, did I feel it! I was drenched in sweat as I huffed up the mountain. The rest of the group climbed the trail with ease. One man about twice my age was kind enough to slow down hang out with me behind everyone else. As he easily chatted, I gasped for air between words. I thought to myself, “This is not the kind of life a 26-year-old should be living!” I was trapped in my own body beneath layers of fat.

I finally decided to free myself from the bodily prison I created. I wanted the freedom to feel energetic, productive and attractive. I wanted the freedom to fit comfortably in tight spaces like stadium seating and crowded places. I wanted the freedom to shop in the misses’ department rather than the plus-size section. I wanted the freedom to enjoy—rather than dread—outdoor and physical recreation. Most of all, I wanted the freedom to thrive rather than merely survive.

I joined a structured nutrition program and called my friend, Julie, who is a Beachbody Coach. I started exercising daily to Hip HopAbs. I loved – and still do – shaking my booty with Shaun T. It’s easy to stay with a workout program when you enjoy it, and Beachbody has a wide variety of programs.

In about 8 months, I reached my goal of becoming 70 pounds freer. I now enjoy all the freedoms I wanted. I no longer trail behind others while hiking. I LEAD the group now!

P90X works!

It really works! I have had 3 kids, and have had amazing results too!
