Joe was headed down the WRONG path — his health was suffering from a lazy lifestyle full of poor eating choices. His doctor got him worried enough that he decided to make an abrupt change. With the help of P90X, Insanity, and the teamRIPPED community, he has total control of his health and fitness now! Check out his video below!
Joe’s Story in his own words:
After I graduated college I began a career in the pharmaceutical industry as a microbiologist, and more recently as an Assistant Quality Assurance Manager. I was moderately active, participating in the occasional 5K race or mud run. But once I hit my 30’s, I began to gain weight. A combination of poor diet and lack of exercise began to take its toll.
In January 2011 I had my first physical in years, and the results were not good. At age 34, my weight had ballooned to 210 pounds (I’m 5’ 9” tall), my total cholesterol was a whopping 273 (a high level is considered >200), and my triglycerides were 453 (normal range is <150).
My doctor began to explain all the serious consequences of such dire numbers. Heart disease, stroke and heart attack were all things I now had to worry about. The doctor said that if I did not lose weight in the next three months, I would be placed on medication for the rest of my life.
As a father of two beautiful daughters, the thought of not being there for them was all the motivation I needed. I began to research exercise routines and that’s when I found P90X. I decided to commit, and dedicate myself to the P90X exercise and nutritional program for the next 3 months. I was ready to BRING IT!!
At the completion of my first round I went back to the doctor’s for a follow up visit. My weight had dropped from 210 pounds to 168 pounds (Loss of 42 pounds – and still counting!), my total cholesterol went from 273 to 146, and my triglycerides went from 453 to 46. My doctor was in complete and utter shock! He had never seen such a dramatic turnaround for these types of numbers, and couldn’t believe the results.
P90X has changed my life forever. It’s a lifestyle change that as Tony says, “Is not just something you kinda’ do!” From there I have continued to do additional rounds of a wonderful P90X/Insanity hybrid and drink Shakeology every single day. I’m going to keep pushing play and doing my best! P90X, Insanity, and Shakeology have saved my life! Thanks to everyone for there help and support!
Thanks again for all of your help and support! I really appreciate it!
