Nick has an amazing transformation. He went from out of shape to completely shredded using P90X, Insanity, P90X2 and Asylum. And he’s put his results into an awesome video that you definitely don’t want to miss. His video … and his results … remind me of myself. Before he started P90X, he was skeptical of whether or not it was the real deal. He quickly realized it was, and quickly saw his body changing for the better. And he put it in overdrive and has never looked back. He’s exactly what teamRIPPED is all about!
Congrats Nick on what you’ve accomplished. I know how much hard work it takes.
Nick’s Story =
Before I started using Beachbody programs like P90X or Insanity, I was like a lot of people- very skeptical of home workout programs and absolutely convinced that they couldn’t be anywhere near as effective as the routine I had created for myself at the gym. I never took home workout programs seriously, and for years I did the same things over and over in various gyms that I’d joined, and I thought I was in pretty good shape. I was never ripped, largely because I ate literally whatever I wanted, but with a consistent routine of lifting throughout my last two years of high school and all four years of college, I had definitely bulked up quite a bit (growing up I was always a runt, so this felt like a HUGE accomplishment for me!). Looking back, I was what I like to call “muscularly fluffy,” in that you could tell I worked out, but I definitely had an extra layer of body fat. And to be honest, I was okay with that. I was okay with looking like I did if it meant I could enjoy the foods I wanted. For years, this was my approach. I wasn’t focused on taking care of my body or being healthy at all.
Fast forward a few years…After my wife and I got married, things started to change a bit. I was still lifting regularly, but my body was changing, and not in a good way! People talk about how common it is to gain a few pounds in that first year of marriage, and now I know why! We were enjoying life, and I was consuming way too many calories in the process! Things really started to slip away from me, but I refused to acknowledge it. I still had my “muscularly fluffy” frame, albeit a little more fluffy than it had ever been before! I got used to sucking in my guy and looking at myself just the right way in the mirror to convince myself that I still looked okay. And again, I wasn’t even considering what I was doing to my long-term health.
Things didn’t change for me until the birth of our twin boys in the Fall of 2010. By that point I was the heaviest I had ever been, and my training schedule had become pretty inconsistent. With everyone so excited about our growing family, you can imagine how many pictures and videos people were taking. It wasn’t until my wife and I were looking through some photos from a family get-together that I realized what I had done to myself. Looking at those pictures was like looking at a complete stranger. I had an image in my mind of how I thought I looked, but those pictures didn’t match it at all. I was embarrassed and upset with myself, and I knew I had to change things before they got REALLY out of control. I wanted to change for my sons, to set an example they could be proud to follow.
My Beachbody journey began with P90X (twins make it nearly impossible to go to the gym, or do much of anything for that matter!!!), which quickly did away with that skepticism I was talking about! I immediately fell in love with the program, and I was able to lose a little bit of the weight I had put on. After my first round of P90X, I incorporated Insanity into my training schedule with a P90X/Insanity hybrid and did several hybrids over the next year or so. Again, I continued to lose weight, but the one thing I was continuing to ignore was nutrition. I tried to eat healthy, but I really struggled with the consistency. And then it happened…
I was on YouTube one day looking for motivational videos and came across Coach Wayne’s transformation video. Like all of you, I was totally impressed! I became a teamRIPPED addict! My wife would say things like, “Are you on that guy’s site again?!” YES I WAS!!! As so many of you can relate to, Coach Wayne provided me with the things I had been missing for so long- specifically, concise information about how to dial in my nutrition and added motivation and encouragement. Once I decided to get serious about nutrition and completely committed to these programs, the results absolutely blew me away. I just wish I had done it sooner!
Since starting with P90X and Insanity, I’ve also completed Asylum, P90X2, and Asylum Vol. 2. Working out from home is more effective (and more FUN!) than I could have ever imagined, and I am absolutely loving it. I’ve also recently become a coach myself, and am now looking to have the impact on others than Coach Wayne has had on me. I’ve come to appreciate the healthy lifestyle that I live not only because of how it allows me to look, but because of what it is doing for my health, as well as the example that it sets for my family and friends. I cannot say “thank you” enough to Coach Wayne and everyone at teamRIPPED for all of your support, it’s changed my life in unbelievable ways. KEEP BRINGING IT!
