Deciding That It Was Time To Get In Shape

Shortly after my husband, Nick, and I got married he decided it was time for him to get in shape. So he went out and bought just about every kind of workout equipment that he could think of (he completely filled our basement with all the equipment he bought).

He started working out a couple of days a week. Once he got used to that he slowly worked his way up to 3-4 days a week. He did get noticably stronger but was still gaining weight. Since he wasn't doing any cardio or hadn't changed his diet he was basically just adding fat on top of muscle.

It took a while but Nick finally decided that he couldn't workout and not diet, because it was a waste of time. It just wasn't working for him. No more fast-food, no more junk food, no more soda. He completely changed his eating habits.

He also decided to look into buying a new workout video he saw on TV called P90X. As Nick research information about P90X he realized he probably wasn't in good enough shape to try P90X yet. He ended up buying two of Tony Horton's Power 90 DVDs- Fat Burning Express and Power 90>Phase 1-2 and Phase 3-4.

Within a few weeks of using both workouts Nick started to notice his jeans getting looser as the fat started falling away. Both are great workouts for people who are just getting started.

P90X

After about 3 months of working out with the P90 DVDs Nick felt that he was at the point in his life where he was ready to try Tony Horton's P90X workout. He was losing all his belly fat and was ready to build more muscle.

P90X is a 90-day workout that uses a technique called "muscle confusion." Basically by switching back and forth between 12 different workouts your muscles never get used to your workout routine which gives you the opportunity to build new muscles.

This is an intense workout designed to get you in the best shape of your life. After the 90 days Nick was in the best shape of his life (even better than when he was in high school running cross country and playing baseball).

I was so impressed by Nick's results that I've even tried a few of the workout DVDs. I thought they were great! Tony does a great job of motiavating you to try your hardest while at the same time telling you to only do what you can handle. In each DVD he shows different people (men and women) completing each exercise.

    I used to work out at the gym for 2.5 hours every other day; cardio, diet management and strength training definitely worked for me to lose weight and inches, get strong and manage stress. Congrats to your husband for getting the results he sought with this program.

    My husband and I bought this. Sadly, it's been in our closet ever since. I believe that the system works, we've just been too tired to give it a go. As you've said, a person needs to be in good shape first. It's great to hear about your husband's success. Very inspiring!
