About Me

A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

Back to Tony




So, today I was getting ready for my workout, and I decided I really missed my Tony.  That guy has the craziest comments and goofiness about him.  His workouts are excellent to really tone up and get amazing results.  Something in me just said, it's time to get back to P90X!  Yes, I still love Chalean Extreme, but I've done a round and phase 1 of round 2 and just realized, it's time for a switch up!

This is another reason my library is so full of great fun Beachbody programs, when I get bored of one, I just move on to another.

I know this round of P90X will incorporate some Tony Horton One on One videos.  Since I workout in the morning before work, an hour and a half of yoga is going to be too long.  So, in will go Fountain of Youth.  It's about 45 minutes or so and will fit perfectly into my schedule.  I also know that Plyo is done every day 2 of the week for the full 90 days, so to add variety, and to keep my legs trim and firm from Chalean Extreme, I'll through in some Plyo legs here and there.

Anyway, today was day 1 of the X!  It was Chest and Back.  One of my favorites.  I love pushing my ablitities for pull-ups and push-ups.  Yup, I still need a chair to assist me in pull-ups, but I know my arms/back are doing more of the work them my legs, I can feel it!  And, each time I go through the push-ups I do more and more on my toe and get deeper or cleaner form.  My back is looking great these days, and I know this workout has A LOT to do with that!

I also took what I learned in Chalean Extreme and went heavier then ever on the weighted back moves!  I can't wait to see what this round of P90X will bring.

I followed up with a little ab ripper X!  I know I definitely was slacking in my Chalean Extreme workout on ab work.  She incorporates ab work in most of her workouts, and has 1 day called out specifically for abs.  But, with 3 days a week of ab ripper X along with a clean diet, I know I'll get the mid section I want to show off in my bikini this summer.

Since I know I'd be feeling that workout, I followed it up with a yummy P90X recovery drink with a little glutamine dropped in to help prevent that soreness.

So, day 1 of P90X is officially done and in the books!  I'd love to know who will join me for a round to be ripped for summer!  And, yes ladies, this program is doable for you too!  Not into the whole lifting heaving weights, start off with the lean version.  This version of the program is more cardio to help you lean out.  That said, I absolutely think women should include strengthtraining in their program!  Muscle burns fat, and we all want that!  Plus, we should all be lean and TONED!  It's nice to have curves in places others only dream about (like arms, back, legs,...)

So, want to get your copy of P90X, you can order it on my website and get started in about a week with shipping.  Visit my store at TheFitnessSpot.net and get started now!  No more excuses!  Remember, when you order through my website, you get the security of dealing directly with Beachbody for money and your shipment, but you get me as your coach to help you every step of the way.  

See you tomorrow for Plyo X!

Bring It!
