Hung has a story that resonates with me. After getting married, he started to let his health slide. With each kid, the excuses not to exercise and eat right can mount, until you get to the point that you are embarrassed to be seen without a shirt. I’ve been there. Hung was there too. But he took control, attacked P90X with tenacity, and got AMAZING results! Since finishing P90X, Hung has continued to stay plugged in with teamRIPPED in our Challenge groups.  He’s done Asylum, P90X2, and a variety of hybrids as he continues a new lifestyle based around health and fitness.   Way to go Hung!

Hung’s Story in his own words:

This journey started back in May 2010. I was in Maui attending my sister-in-law’s wedding. One morning, I was walking down the beach to go snorkeling. Walking around in public without my shirt on, I became quite self-conscious of how much my belly and spare tire jiggled. Needless to say, I had gotten terribly out of shape and had put on a lot of weight since getting married and having 3 kids. For example, I was so out of shape that I would be sore the day after I did any light gardening in the backyard. I was also tired all the time. I thought it was due to having 3 kids to take care of. I wrong was. It was because I had a poor diet and didn’t exercise regularly. So sad.

I was talking with my brother-in-law about the fact and he mentioned that he was getting the P90X extreme home training system. I was curious about it and wanted to try it out. We both made a promise that we were going to do this program. My mistake at that point was that I never set a date of when I was going to start it. I’m a terrible procrastinator at times.

Fast forward to January 2011. I was at work when I heard some of my fellow co-workers talking about starting a Biggest Loser competition to motivate people to lose weight and get back into shape after the holidays. Right at that point, my belly had gotten so big that I was on my last notch of my belt. As embarrassing as it may sound, I was afraid to wash my work pants. After getting them out of the dryer, they would be so tight and uncomfortable. I thought back to that promise I made while on the beach in Maui to do P90X. The time had come for me to honor that promise to myself. I signed up for the competition and later that night I ordered the P90X program.

The reason why P90X was so perfect for me was that I could do it at home. The hardest part about working out at a gym is just getting my butt to the gym. I have a job and 3 kids to take care of. I do not have much free time. With P90X, since I can work out at home, it is easier for me to squeeze in my daily workouts and stay on schedule. Do you have time to go to the gym 6 days a week? The other important reason was simply because it works. I have friends and knew of people who had done the program and had gotten great results. If it worked for them then it’s gotta work for me too! P90X is like having your own personal trainer come over to your house 6 days a week to work out with you. There is a science to exercise and a methodology in order to get the most efficient results. You can have a membership at a fancy gym with a huge selection of shiny workout equipment, but if you don’t know how to exercise, know when to exercise, how many reps to do, how much weight to use, I doubt you will get the same results in the same amount of time. Most likely you will either plateau or get bored of doing the same thing. Even worse, you may end up hurting yourself by doing too much of one thing and not enough of another.

P90X is simple. There is nothing to figure out. You just follow what Tony says and do your best to keep up. The program is designed to prevent you from hitting a plateau. Often times, even if you work out regularly, you reach a point where your body adapts and gets more efficient. At that point, you don’t get as much out of the work out as you use to. You basically stop losing weight. P90X is designed around a concept of Muscle Confusion. It’s nothing special. It’s just another term for variety. There are so many different exercises that you put your body through, that it is always being challenged. It is a comprehensive overall fitness program that hits everything and I do really mean everything. It’s very good at finding your weak points and improving those areas. I was sore in places I didn’t even know I had!”
