I have a very stressful and physically demanding job. So for years, when I’d come home from work, all I wanted to do was pretty much NOTHING so I could decompress. I convinced myself that veggin’ on the couch, playing video games, munching on candy bars, and gulping down sodas were all okay because I got plenty of physical activity at work and deserved to “relax” at home.

Yet, all my relaxing somehow packed on the pounds—and before I knew it I topped out at 230 lbs. I knew my wife was disappointed in me but she never said anything, I could just sense it. Then one day when she walked out on my “I just want to relax” monologue in silence, it finally hit me that I was disrespecting her and had to change—quick. That’s when I decided to try Tony Horton’s 10-Minute-Trainer®.

Honestly, I picked 10-Minute Trainer because I thought it was the easiest one (see, even after deciding to get in shape I still tried to take the easy road). I also chose it because I believed I had no time to work out, which was just another one of my many lame excuses. I had only planned to do one 10-minute workout a day, but by the end of the week I was feeling so great that I was up to two workouts per session. And before I knew it, I was doing three 10-minute workouts back-to-back—boy, was I addicted.

Now I’m stronger, my stamina has increased, and the weight is slowly-but-surely disappearing (so far I’ve lost 17 lbs.)! The video games and junk food have all been put away, my spring is back in my step, and overall I’m just happier. Plus, I feel more confident that I have my team members’ backs and am ready for anything that comes my way. For so many years I disregarded the fact that my inability to physically perform on the job could end in serious injury or death. Not only does my personal fitness level affect my safety, but the safety of my teammates, as well as the general public. I have to be alert and ready for anything that comes my way—not just sometimes, but all of the time.

Tony’s 10-Minute Trainer is a quality program that really works; regardless of what athletic level you’re at. With anything in life, you only get out of it what you put into it. So if you just listen to Tony and dig deep, YOU WILL GET RESULTS! I did, and couldn’t be more proud. I think my wife, and my teammates, would also agree.

I have always loved running, but after a bad car accident left me unable to run anymore, my weight crept up from 175 to 235—and there it stayed for 20 years! When I finally went to the doctors for my first check up, he told me my cholesterol was at 399—with my triglycerides at 899.

I couldn’t believe it—he was right, I was a heart attack waiting to happen.

My daughter cried, and begged me to get my health under control so I could walk her down the aisle. At the time, she wasn’t even engaged but I understood what she needed. She needed me to change my life in a very drastic way.

But it was my wife who was the biggest inspiration. After battling Fibromyalgia for ten years, and recently surviving a stroke, she knew how precious health can be. But all her health issues caused her to gain a tremendous amount of weight—and she was struggling. I decided if I could change my life, maybe I could inspire her to change hers as well.

Luckily, our daughter had been a Beachbody Coach for two years, so she knew how to help. She told me to try Shakeology to help gradually change my relationship with food. It was great. The cravings went away and I was dropping pounds.

Then, I committed to doing the Ultimate Reset and that completely changed the way I thought about food—and helped me lose 47 lbs. My wife decided to give it a go and lost 35lbs. I was also able to lower my cholesterol to 145 and get off my meds— but the best news was that a month ago I was able to walk my daughter down the aisle at her wedding.

I really want to thank my Coach. When I hit 128 pounds, I was totally miserable about what I had let myself become. I was tired all the time, stressed and had no energy. My self-confidence was gone.

That’s when my Coach lifted me up. She invited me over to her house, showed me Firestarter, and before I left, I ordered TurboFire and Shakeology. I was on my way! At first, it was tough. But Chalene pushed me along, and I kept going! The high after each workout was addictive. And being part of a Challenge Group kept me on track. There were days I didn’t want to work out, but I was not going to be the one in the group to give up.

After 12 weeks of TurboFire, I am in the best shape of my life! I am back into jeans I never thought I’d wear again. At 31, I feel better than I ever have, thanks to TurboFire and Shakeology.

“I was basically killing myself. My eating was out of control. I was a heavy drinker. I was totally stressed out. I didn’t exercise. I weighed 388 pounds. I felt worthless. And just catching my breath was getting harder and harder every day.

I was angry—at myself—for what I had done to my body.

That’s when a friend stepped in and saved my life. He gave me a heart-to-heart—and P90X. It was just the lifeline I needed. At first, it was tough, but I felt strangely comfortable with it. It felt like I was working out with friends. Within months, I was addicted. In a year and 2 months, I have lost nearly 200 pounds. I can now breathe, tie my shoes, and run for miles!

My energy levels are now through the roof. And I feel reborn—literally—like a new person. Thanks to P90X, I’ve even given myself a second birthday—July 5th. And as a present to myself—I’m passing along the gift my friend gave to me by helping others who are close to me change their lives, too.”
