Mike’s Story in his own words:
“Growing up I was always heavy and termed “the husky Kid”. I started exercising in high school lifting weights and trying to get into shape. I always wanted to be cut up and feel comfortable taking my shirt off at the pool or outside. I lost some weight but never achieved my goals. My senior year I had a knee injury, playing hockey, resulting in two surgeries and six months on crutches. Basically the doctors told me never to play sports again, run, or lift weights. I was devastated and determined to prove them wrong.
Off I went to college not really able to exercise all that well or even walk. It took me two years of rehab to get back even part of what I had. Not to mention how out of shape I was. I did gradually start to get back into shape and was doing OK when I graduated.
Life in the real world proved to be much more challenging than I thought. Several different jobs with eventually going back to school left me out of shape and overweight. I really neglected taking care of myself and abused my body working night shift and staying up all day for class. With a steady diet of beer, chips, and burgers. I had no desire to workout and thought getting cut up was for movie stars and bodybuilders. I gave up on my goals thinking they were unachievable.
In March of 2009 my Wife and I were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. I started to look at things a little different. After my son was born my wife became very ill and after several doctors and many test she was diagnosed with Celiac disease. She is doing awesome and feeling much better. Celiac disease, for those not familiar, is an autoimmune disease where the only cure is to not eat any wheat or wheat gluten. Really limits your food choices and I give her all the credit in the world. She did a great job focusing on her nutrition and inspired me to clean up what I was eating and get back into shape. I didn’t want to be that fat dad that can’t participate in activities with my son.
I needed four things for a workout plan. A way to workout at home, a complete plan including nutrition, and not to expensive or time consuming. Skeptical at first I decided to try P90X. I went 100% every day followed the nutrition plan and had phenomenal results. Never missed a workout or cheated on the nutrition. After about the first three weeks people started noticing the changes that were taking place. I had tried to convince my brother to do the program with me but he didn’t want too. I send him some day 45 pictures that resulted in an immediate phone call to see what I was doing! Guess who I am coaching through P90X now.
You can do this and have awesome results. I have a really bad knee, worked two jobs during my first 90 days, and have a toddler at home. I worked out 1 hour a day and focused on nutrition. Once you get it down its not that hard. These results are total achievable.
