Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I felt sluggish and didn’t have very much energy. The thought of getting up at 4:30 AM to work out seemed ridiculous. My clothes kept feeling tighter and tighter as my weight kept climbing.

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
My wife was training for a marathon, and said she was going to do P90X3. I have always been competitive and told her I would do it. After I started getting more energy and seeing the changes in my body, I was inspired to keep going. After completing P90X3, I decided to try FOCUS T25 and then INSANITY MAX:30.

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody help you overcome that challenge?
The greatest challenge was thinking I didn’t have the time to work out. I work 12-hour shifts and have four kids. The only thing I want to do after a long day is relax on the couch. So I started waking up early and getting the workout in before work. I found that I had more energy and was more focused first thing in the morning.

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The length of the program was just right for me. The overall body workout was great. It had a great mix of cardio and strength training.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
My clothes are looser. I can chase my kids around without getting winded. I have been doing Beachbody programs for almost a year now and have seen incredible results.

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
I have more energy and am eating healthier. My overall health has improved. I have had to buy smaller clothes because everything I had was falling off of me.

How did participating in a Challenge Group help you reach your goals? How did your group support you and keep you accountable?
It kept me motivated hearing about others’ results and sharing food ideas.

How did your Team Beachbody Coach support you on your journey?
She got me started on the program and by being active herself, it allowed us both to make good choices about what we ate and kept us going on the workouts.

How did a Beachbody supplement, nutritional product, or program (such as Shakeology or Beachbody Ultimate Reset) support your transformation? What are the greatest benefits you gained? Did you see benefits to your energy, sleep, mood/mental clarity, digestion/regularity?
Shakeology tastes great and is a healthy snack. The Results and Recovery Formula is a tasty after-workout treat.
