Ceci Won $1000 In The Beachbody Challenge

Congratulations to Ceci P., from Puerto Rico. Ceci lost 117 pounds with the P90x and Insanity workout, and by drinking Shakeology and the P90x Recovery Drink.  Ceci’s before and after pictures look like a totally different person. Ceci had amazing results and is an inspiration to us all. She is one of the 10 $1000 Beachbody Challenge winners for the month of October.

As a Beachbody Coach, I’m often asked what workout program I would recommend for individuals and my answer always depends on the person. It depends on their current fitness level and what their goals are. Normally, I would think twice about recommending P90x to start out with for a 237 pound woman. P90x is an intense workout and is challenging even for someone that is in good shape. But Ceci’s results are making me rethink my opinions when recommending a workout program.  Just because someone is a hundred pounds overweight, doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to do P90x, Ceci is perfect proof of that.

P90x is a workout program that can be done by anyone at any fitness level. It is great because the moves and exercises can be modified to the individual’s fitness level, which is why everyone who follows the P90x workout program will see results.

Congratulation again to Ceci! I have a feeling she will be in the running for the Beachbody Challenge $5000 quarterly prize, and even the $100,000 grand finale prize.

This is Amanda’s P90x results and review video. Amanda was an athlete in college, so she could basically eat whatever she wanted and didn’t have to worry about gaining weight, she would burn off the extra calories at practices and games. However, when college ended Amanda’s bad eating habits continued, and resulted in inevitable weight gain.

After spending some time a little overweight, Amanda finally came to the realization that something had to be done. Up late one night she saw the infomercial for P90x. Although skeptical, as most of us are of infomercials, she decided to give it a try. Amanda pulled out the credit card and the phone and placed her order. The simple decision to give the P90x exercise program a try has now gotten Amanda in the best shape of her life. Check out her story in the video below:

Tony Horton, the creator of the popular P90x exercise program was recently on CNBC talking about his new book, Bring It! Tony also talks about general health and fitness stuff and how it is not about just look good in a bathing suit, but also about feeling good and being able to enjoy life. I agree with Tony, the healthier you are, the happy you are.

During the segment they ran a ticker at the bottom of the screen with some stats:

• P90x infomercials air more than 500 times a week
• P90x infomercials air in 210 national cable markets
• P90x is a 200 million dollar franchise and makes up half the sales for Beachbody
• Beachbody expects to spend $120 million in TV advertising in 2011
• P90x has been in the top 25 most popular infomercials the last 4 years
• P90x users include: Sheryl Crow, Demi Moore, Usher, Donovan McNabb, and more.

Tony Horton says anyone can achieve great results with P90x if they “just show up, and pay attention when you get there”.

Woman I talk to about P90x are often telling me how they are intimidated by it. The infomercial shows Tony Horton doing some very intense moves like pull ups, plyometric push ups where he throws his entire body into the air while doing a push up, and lifting heavy barbells.

While these are the moves of P90x, they can also be modified to be effective for anyone at any fitness levels, even women. For example, instead of doing traditional pull ups with a pull up bar, there are ways to modify this move. You can place a chair out in front of you where you are able to use you legs to assist you with the pull up, and you can also choose to use resistance bands to perform an exercise that uses the same pull up motion and works all of the same muscles.

If it is push ups you are worried about, those are very easy to modify. Simply drop to your knees and do as many as you can that way. It will take some time but you’re only going to progress and be able to do more and more repetitions as time goes by.

Below is the P90x results video of Deanne, she is 44 years old and had amazing results with P90x. This is what Deanne had to say about P90x.

“I’m 44 years old and I have better abs now than I did when I was 20!”

I think it has been proven by now that p90x is not a scam. Just do a search for “p90x results” on youtube and you will be able to find hundreds of video testimonials and before and pictures of real people who have achieved great results with the P90x exercise program. The last time I checked, P90x had over 250,000 facebook fans. In fact, it is almost impossible to find a negative review of P90x anywhere on the internet, which is very rare for any product. Everyone that has tried it seems to love it.

Of course there are still some skeptics and non believers out there. I used to be one them myself. I thought, it’s a workout video, how hard can it be? I had always thought that workout videos were “for girls”. But after hearing so many great things about P90x, I had to give it a try for myself to see what all the hype was about.

My experience with P90x was great, I was hooked almost immediately which I was surprised about because I went in almost certain it wasn’t going to be for me. I had always worked out on a regular basis, but typically the same exercises every time, so P90x was a great change of pace. The variety of different exercises is what makes P90x so great. Strenth training, plyometics, cardio, ab and core work, and stretching, P90x covers every aspect of fitness. I can honestly say that at 31 years old, after 90 days of P90x, I’m in the best shape of my life. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves and who is willing to push their limits. P90x is definitely not a scam, at $120, for 12 different dvds, it’s a bargain!

At 42, Kim is now in great shape and looking amazing. Kim had been doing cardio on a regular basis but wasn’t seeing the the results she wanted. She decided to give the P90x exercise program a try and after 90 days is in the best shape of her life. In the video below, Kim talk about how she had never really done any strength training, and talks about how Tony Horton, the instructor in the P90x videos, explains very clearly how to do the modifications for each exercise if you are a beginner.

In the video, Kim specifically talks about diamond pushups, which can be challenging for someone who is not used to strength training and has little upper body strength.  One simple way to modify the diamond push up exercise is to do them on your knees instead of up on your toes. Once you get stronger you can promote your self to the more advanced technique.

Before starting P90x, Kelly was feeling bored with her exercise routine and was unhappy with her body, she thought it was as good as it was gonna get. After Kelly’s husband came home with the DVDs, she thought she would give it a try and that maybe this is what can get rid of those 5-10 pounds she had been complaining about the past few years. By following the P90x exercise program Kelly had better results that she expected. She lost 15 pounds, gained some muscle, and went from a size 8 to a size 4. Kelly talks about how the P90x nutrition plan was a big part of her success, this is what she had to say.

“The nutrition plan was a major factor in my transformation. It was scary to realize how little I actually knew about what I was putting in my body. With P90x I Learned how to fuel my body, those lessons I will take with me for the rest of my like.”

Here is another great P90x results video that I wanted to share. As P90x becomes more and more popular the number of results videos grows to. Everyone seems to be having amazing results. You can definitely see a big difference in her before and after pictures. Great Job!!

My P90x Results (Click To Enlarge)

I must admit that I feel a little funny posting photos of myself shirtless on the internet, but here they are. I also have to admit I was not trying to flex my muscles in the day 1 photos while I was flexing my hardest for the day 90 photos, it makes for a better effect.

I finally finished my 90 day P90x workout. I am very happy with the results I achieved. When I first heard about P90x, I said to myself, “I’m not doing a stupid workout video, workout videos are for girls”. I originally got involved with Beachbody because I was interested in the home business opportunity (which is also going very well), but after hearing so many good things about P90x, I decided to give it a try and I’m glad that I did.

P90x is an intense, time consuming program, but I knew I could dedicate an hour a day if I just pushed myself. After the first week, P90x becomes addicting. Surprisingly my favorite P90x workout yoga, it was brand new to me and very hard. Before P90x, I thought yoga was for girls, I was wrong, yoga is very challenging. I didn’t follow the P90x nutrition plan as close as I should have, I did try to cut out as much junk food as possible and raised my protein intake a lot. Proper nutrition is half the battle with this program. I’d recommend P90x to anyone looking to get in shape. After these 90 days, I’m pretty sure I’m in the best shape of my life.

Here is Rob’s P90x results video. Rob had put on “happy” weight after getting married and had gotten up to 250 pounds and decided it was time to make a change. Rob had great results with P90x.

This is what Rob had to say:

“Five years ago when I met my wife, I was 225 and I gained a little happy weight over the first 3, 4 years of our marriage and got up to about 250, the biggest I had ever been . . . Me as a guy, the last thing ever I thought I would be doing is sitting in my living room, working out in front of a TV. It’s just something I always saw my mom or my sister doing aerobics. And it’s amazing. I’m sitting here working in front of the TV and I don’t feel funny . . . I’ve got a great personal trainer, just right there, telling me what moves to do, when to do ‘em, how to do ‘em, and just guide me through a process. And all you have to do is just follow it . . . It’s not easy by any means, but if you commit to it, the way that you feel after each workout is amazing ’cause you feel like you’ve just conquered the world, and you’re excited to even go back and do it the next time . . . You want this, so get it done.”
