At 35, I found myself looking soft, feeling chubby, and living a lethargic life. I traveled a lot for work, and even though I was pretty good about working out at hotel gyms—I was pretty bad about what I ate. I mean, really, really bad about what I ate.
I knew that if I wanted to get healthy and fit, I’d have to commit to working out daily as well as majorly revamp my diet. Sounded good, but I had no idea how to do it. Then one day, I saw an Insanity® infomercial and learned that not only could I do the workouts pretty much anywhere, it also comes with a nutrition guide, a Coach, and an online support team to help keep me motivated as well as hold me accountable. SCORE! This was exactly what I was looking for. I was sold, and never looked back.
In 60 days, Insanity completely changed my life. The workouts were quick-paced and packed with so many different exercises that boredom was never an issue. And the moves were so intense that it left me feeling completely wasted when done. Which was great, because my goal wasn’t to just get in shape, it was to get ripped—and that I did.
Now I’m in the best shape of my life and have developed much better eating habits, even while on the road. I steer clear of junk and drink protein shakes instead. I lost 8 lbs. and went from 19% body fat down to 9%. I’m so proud of my results, and so is my family. Hey, if I can get ripped at 35, anyone can. You just got to push play everyday and stick with it.

Two years after the birth of my son, I shot back up to my maternity weight of 210 lbs. My size 18 pants were tight and I had zero self-confidence. My knees and back ached all the time, I was constantly tired, and I had chronic stomach problems. Sadly, even though I was angry, ashamed, and miserable—I wasn’t surprised. I had battled the bulge my entire life, just like my mom and sister.
But it wasn’t until I pulled a muscle in my back from picking up my two-year-old that I had finally had enough. Either I had to change now and set a good example for my son, or he’d turn out exactly like me. So I turned to Slim in 6® and other Beachbody Programs for help.
Slim in 6 was the perfect solution because it eased me back into working out and I quickly started losing weight. In 3 months I lost 50 lbs., went from 40% body fat to 24%, dropped down to a size 10, and am in better shape now than I was in high school. Simply put: I LOOK AND FEEL FANTASTIC!
However, I’m most proud of the fact that I’m setting a great example for my son. Even though he’s so young, he exercises with me all the time and is already learning healthy eating habits. And because of this, I truly believe he won’t have weight issues like I did!
Now I’m a happy and healthy mom and wife!

At 6’ 1” and 183 lbs., I wasn’t out of shape—I just wanted more. More for myself, more for my wife, and more for my family. I wanted to eat better and be as healthy on the inside, as I was on the outside. I wanted to inspire others while motivating my kids to be good stewards of their own bodies. But most importantly, I wanted to honor God by taking care of the body He gave me.
So I committed to rising at the crack of dawn, doing P90X2®, following the nutrition guide to a T, and drinking Shakeology® daily. Three months later, I lost 13 lbs., went from a 34-inch waist down to a 31, and am in the single digits with my body fat. My core has been strengthened tenfold, which has significantly helped my lower back spasms. And I finally feel comfortable in a swimsuit.
Now that I’m super fit and super healthy, I’m competing in more obstacle races and am getting back into trail running, mountain biking, and kayaking. I even plan to run the Chicago Marathon next October. But my transformation was far from easy. It took a lot of discipline saying no to pizza and donuts, a lot of Energy & Endurance® to get me through my early morning workouts, and it took a lot of support from my family and my Beachbody Coach.
Yet through it all, I stayed focused and NEVER gave up. I feel great and have to say, the results are well worth it.

I think I have seen more change from this workout over all the other works (Bulk Chest a close second).
The video is just over 35 minutes, but on the schedules it is accompanied by Beast Abs which is 10 minutes.
Uses Single, Progressive and Force Sets. There is a total of 7 sets.
Take a look at some of the moves.
When my boyfriend began to lose interest in me because of my weight, that was bad. But when my child asked, Mommy, what’s wrong with your belly?” I knew I had to confront my problem, get into shape and get my health back.
I needed a program that was going to get me fast results—and didn’t require me to buy weights, because money was tight—so I picked TurboFire.
I committed myself to 90 days and told myself that I could do this. I just had to press play every day and give it my all. And guess what? I loved TurboFire! I loved how fun losing weight was with TurboFire. I didn’t feel like I was working out.
It wasn’t easy. But I kept going. Once my family saw my 30-day picture, they couldn’t believe I was doing it and losing weight. But I was! The pictures and keeping track of my weight kept me going. I have now lost a total of 58 lbs. and 45 inches over all.
Mostly, I’ve done it by myself. But my Challenge Group has been a big help. The advice I have gotten with what to eat (portions and how often) had such a huge impact on my weight loss!
I’m so happy. I’m pumped and have lots of energy. I actually feel sexy for once in my life. And my boyfriend actually tells his friends to “look at his new girlfriend!”
I’m not done, though. Now this Mama wants some abs!”

Although I considered myself to be a “skinny/chubby dude,” obesity runs in my family. When my grandmother passed away on Christmas day from respiratory problems caused by her obesity, I knew I needed to do something.
So I bought a size 32 swimsuit when I was a 36 and used that for my motivation. I’ve done P90X, but after seeing the Body Beast infomercial, I knew this was the product that was going to change me. I knew how to lift weight up and down, but I didn’t know how to integrate exercises together to make my workouts more efficient. But Sagi showed me.
I love Body Beast because you feel like Sagi is right there with you. He gives “cues” to make sure you’re doing everything right and not injuring yourself. And he motivates you because you want to continue the workout and not give up because he is ‘looking’ at you.
This program is fun and it works. My main goal was to lose excess body fat whilegaining lean body mass, and I had really good results. I began my journey weighing 170 lbs. at 16% body fat, and I finished at 166 lbs. at 12% body fat!
Best of all, Body Beast has changed my life in a HUGE way. I am now a more confident person. I walk taller. I talk with a deeper voice. I have become a better man.
I did this for my grandmother and ultimately for my family, so they can see that living a healthy life is not hard to do. Body Beast taught me how to be healthy and fit just by eating the right foods and training the right way.

After having 8 children, you could say I’ve always been a mom. But I wasn’t always 110 lbs. overweight. No, that came from putting on 10 lbs. with each baby and never taking that weight off.
After cooking and cleaning (I do about 125 loads of laundry and over 100 loads of dishes EVERY month), home-schooling, and taking care of my husband—I just didn’t have anything left over for me… until this year.
When I saw Tony Horton with his 10-Minute Trainer workout—I said, maybe I can sneak away for 10 minutes. And I started. Soon 10 minutes became 20, and then 30, and I finished 10-Minute Trainer!!! I loved it.
But after all those babies, I decided it was time to attack my abs with RevAbs. So off I went. When I started, I had to modify. I gave birth EIGHT TIMES!!! There was NO WAY I could even consider jumping jacks. But by the end, I didn’t have to modify at all—I CAN do jumping jacks!
So far, I’ve lost 75 lbs. I give credit to 10-Minute Trainer, Rev-Abs and Shakeology. I drink Shakeology twice a day for several months. It cut cravings and gave me a good amount of protein and both start and end my day with.
Best of all, I am going to be a grandmother—at 49—next month. I used to look like a grandmother, but NOT ANYMORE! Now, I don’t even feel like a grandmother. And after all this time, I can fit into my wedding dress!!!!

When I started gaining weight, it was gradual at first. I went from 160 to 180 lbs. It didn’t feel like the end of the world, until I eventually found myself at 215 lbs. Three years later, I was so lost—as a woman, as a mother, and as a wife. I was so disgusted with myself.
To make matters worse, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome, which made it difficult for me to lose weight. When I got pregnant, I found out, it also made it difficult for me to carry to term. I lost 3 pregnancies. No one could imagine how desperate I was feeling. I was dying inside.
Thankfully, my son got through to me. I had lost my own father when I was just 15 and he was only 39. I didn’t want my son to face the same loss, and if I didn’t do something quick, I was going to end up just like my dad.
I started eating healthier and went from 215 to 168 lbs. It took six months, but I did it. My coach encouraged me, posting before & after pictures to inspire me. And I began to believe that I could actually do it—that I could transform my body—inside and out.
Tony Horton’s 10-Minute Trainer was perfect for my life. I had two jobs, a child, a house to tend to and a sick husband who needed me. Ten minutes was all the time I had—but it was enough to make a difference. I lost another 21lbs.
My body has reacted positively to all the changes I’ve made. I’ve not only lost weight, but I look good. I feel sexy. I feel like a new person. Thank you Beachbody. Thank you Tony Horton. And thank you Coach. I couldn’t have done it without you.
