Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
Before Shaun T and FOCUS T25, I had no energy and really didn’t do much besides sit around and watch TV. I was always eating and not the healthy food. I didn’t exercise at all except for climbing some stairs at my job. I really didn’t like my body and felt horrible about myself, especially when it was time to buy new clothes and all I could get into was a size 14 or a size large. I tried workouts before but always quit halfway through. I knew I had to change, but it always seemed easier to just give up and do nothing.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
My biggest inspiration to change my life was my four-year-old son. He has so much energy and always wants me to participate in activities with him. I always played with him, but I would get tired and out of breath way faster than him. He would be sad when I couldn’t keep going. I knew that as he got older, he would want to do more things like hockey, softball, etc. I knew that in this body, I would definitely not be able to keep up, so I had to do something and quick.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody help you overcome that challenge?
I would have to say the greatest challenge I had to face was to actually say I can do it. It was a very big step for me. I mean I haven’t really exercised in my life, and to actually commit to a full 10-week program seemed like too much (haha). The program and Shaun T are amazing! The program had a modifier which was great, because she made me keep going and become strong enough to actually follow Shaun T. I felt so much stronger, and couldn’t believe that I had accomplished so many goals. The coaching on the Team Beachbody site was amazing as well. They helped keep me motivated when I felt like quitting. They also taught me a lot about preparing meal plans for myself and keeping me on track to reach my fitness goals. 🙂

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I would have to say the best thing about FOCUS T25 is that it is only 25 minutes. I get up in the morning, work out for 25 minutes, and then it’s time to start my day! I completed a round of FOCUS T25 first to get myself back into fitness, and while it was a great program, I wanted something that would push me more. I found the best time for me to complete MAX:30 was as soon as I woke up, so I had it done and the rest of the day was spent living life with my boy. I was definitely more consistent with MAX:30, because my results were amazing.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
The results I received with FOCUS T25 are amazing! I lost 34 pounds and countless inches. I am proud of everything I have achieved with this program. At the beginning of the program, I set a small goal for myself, and never in a million years did I think I would accomplish it. But I not only met my goal, I passed it! That, for me, was a big achievement, and it kept me motivated to keep going and do another round!

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
My life has changed so much since completing FOCUS T25. I can keep up with my son, and actually love going clothes shopping now. My energy level is through the roof, and just my outlook on life is so much better. I recently took my son on his first Disney Cruise, and was actually able to wear a bikini! I never in a million years thought that I would ever do that. I love Shaun T and the Beachbody team. I can’t thank you guys enough for creating this program and helping me get my life back. 🙂
