I must admit, when I first started the P90x, I “expected” to lose weight and get better form. As it turned out, I not only lost 30 pounds, got into a commercial and changed my health for the better. I also discovered a new lifestyle.
When I continued to set new goals and sought them out, I didn’t even think about the effect that these small changes in my life would have on all other areas of my life. I fell in love with the idea of physically pushing myself, setting small and long-term goals, trying new and different things that brought me out of my comfort zone for my new passion for developing and improving.
While my fitness system continued to improve over the past three years, and it was amazing, it was not the only area in my life that showed an incredible improvement. What I did by making changes in my life in order to become healthy was spilled on all other areas of my life.
A family:
Our family has changed from “typical Americans” sitting on the couch, watching television and sleeping on weekends in a family that laughs, works together, cooks together, talks about our latest adventure, talks about what we have learned well, talks about that the new problems we are working on are about the latest books we read and how we can make the world a better place.
Wife: pursues his dream to train dogs with diabetic support, returning to school to get certified, work with current dogs in training, while improving their health, working as a registered nurse and managing a household with three teenagers.
Daughters: Members of the team to combat cheerleading, doing gymnastics, doing school, reading and studying food.
Son: I went to an academically challenging boarding school, currently boxing, rehearsing minor children every day after school, getting ready for college next year.
Friends:
With a lot of energy, learning how important it is to help others, and again participating in the world, I gathered a lot of new friends, updated several old friends, found a new best friend who works with me every day (he even recently did with his own hands Peg Board for the gym).
Job:
I not only started my business as a Beachbody coach, where I really make money to help people regain their health, I also saw a huge increase in my engineering work with new tasks, as I am ready to take on more complex projects. The ability to pretend projects and work with like-minded people has changed my life from "work" to the ability to "enjoy what I do." This in itself was such a significant improvement that I now wake up excitedly and looking forward to this day.
Self:
When my health improves, and my mind and body get stronger, the biggest changes were in me. I am many times happier (so much that everyone noticed), my self-confidence was gone from the schedule, so I took upon myself crazy problems, such as training (it means standing in front of a crowd and speaking / performing), taking (I an electronics engineer, not a software specialist), an information security class, obtained certification to train insanity, get out and run Warrior Dash, and build a home gym, now I read every day on topics from personal development, improving relationships how to improve It is the financial situation, how to educate their children. It gave me hunger and a desire to learn and grow, something I have not felt since I was in college.
So, if you think that you are just getting better and “just losing a few pounds,” think again. If you stay with him, you begin a journey that will change your life for the better, and not only make you healthy. I know this from personal experience, and I am ready to help all those who wish for the same journey.
