Would would like to do the same?
This is my story
Hello my name is Angel and I am 39 year old former couch potato
I have struggled with my weight and have tried every fad diet there was and hated working out, I wanted that quick fix. A year ago heavier and out of shape I decided to try P90X however I never changed my diet and 66 days into I gave up I didnt see the results I wanted after that I continued to put on more weight after seeing some pictures of myself I said enough is enough and like everyone else on the planet in January I decided to lose weight and exercise after losing 20lbs through healthy eating I did some walking and other DVDS at home but it just wasn't cutting it. I would see the commercials and I thought I need to try that P90X again and finish it this time! After week one I thought what was I thinking I could barely do the push ups on my knees I hurt everywhere and never thought I would get better or even finish I would see myself in the mirror working out many times I cried. I kept pushing play!!! I got stronger I was bringing it! Push ups well I can bust out 100 right now if you would like If I can do this anyone can! I then passed the fit test for Insanity and have been doing that and I hate it and love it all at the same time. I love having muscles I love being strong I love being healthy. I graduated from P90X in August 2012 and I am so proud! and I want to help others so I became coach and began my 2nd workout Turbofire, I was scared at first because I have no coordination but I fell in love with the program and the music and I will see this through to the end 20 weeks I finish it before my 40th Birthday in December and I cant wait to start another program, my goal is to do all of them

Hi Angel!
I just want to know if you go to P90X straight away or you did the insanity program first. Cos I find the insanity quite tough as it is, and I heard P90X is even tougher.
Have you experienced any injuries? Cos I work in a physiotherapy clinic and I met some people who have found success with the programs but injured themselves along the way.
Thank you.0 -
That is a wonderful story thanks for sharing.0

Feel free to add me I found Insanity very hard and ended up switching to turbofire0
