“Being Able to Get Results Like This From Home is Incredible”
Meet Brian S. He lost 100 lbs in with P90X and P90X3. He entered his results into The Beachbody Challenge, and won the $500 Daily Prize for March 30th!
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I had slowly gained weight from 2008-2013 and found myself at my highest weight ever (292 lbs), prior to beginning the program. As a former collegiate and multisport athlete, as well as competitive cyclist, I have been fit and in good shape most of my life. I simply let myself go for a 5 year span and was in a horrible predicament. I felt disgusted with my body. I was embarrassed for myself, and my kids, for letting anyone see me that big. I was tired, unmotivated, and lacked self confidence.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
Two things: 1. Being told I “look like hell” from a significant other 2. Not having the energy/ability to play with my kids like I wanted, and feeling unsafe carrying them up stairs to bed.
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge?
Deciding to commit to the program. Once I began the journey, saw the transformation, and received words of encouragement from people in my day-to-day life, staying committed was simple. It made sense. The ease of the program helped me overcome my challenge. I “kept pushing play”, did what I could at the time, and stuck with it. The results speak for themselves.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The ease and the time. Not having to go to a gym is a big deal to me. Being able to get results like this and stay at home is incredible. I also thoroughly enjoyed the time of the P90X3 workouts. The 30 minutes was great! I liked the longer P90X workouts…but these were great!!
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
I knew I needed to “lose weight”, and I did. 100 pounds to be exact. My greatest accomplishment was seeing my body fat go from 41.3% to 10.5%, which to me is unbelievable. I am more about the “look” and not so much the weight. Being slightly under 200 pounds and 10.5% body fat….I’ll take that. I am also proud of my gains in flexibility. Doing the Isometrix, Yoga, and Pilates workouts have become many of my favorites. I could not be happier with the gains I have made by doing these routines. Amazing!
How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
I am more confident, positive, encouraged, motivated, am physically stronger, and have the ability to play with my kids with ease all thanks to the P90X and X3 programs. I look, feel, and act better having gone through my Beachbody transformation.
How did a Beachbody Supplement or 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?
P90X Results & Recovery Formula. I think it played a huge role in refueling my system post exercise. I will continue to use that product.
How did a Beachbody Supplement or Nutritional Product or Program affect any existing health conditions you have?
I am no longer at risk for diabetes or high cholesterol. I attribute that to the exercise, weight loss, and eating habit transformations.
