Hi guys, my name is Jack Hays and I'm on my rest day from my new workout program from Beachbody. I started using Beachbody products back in 2009. I had gone through 5 of the toughest years of my life and I let them get to me. You know what I mean? Sometimes life just has a way of poking it's ugly face into our business. I was fortunate enough to have a client walk into my business and after noticing his physical changes he let me know he got then though doing P90X for two months. I do have to say that I chuckeled as I said "You mean the infomercial that I see at night when I can't sleep due to stress?" He said "Yep" and smiled. Let's just say after about 30 minutes of talking I decided that I would look into it. Now you have to know something about me. I'm a FITNESS SNOB! I have a history of being that kid that everybody made fun for being chubby. I grew to 6"1' in 7th grade so that ribbing stopped, but not the hurt or fear of becoming fat again. I went on to play HS and college football and earn a degree in Exercise Science, move to FL and run multi-million dollar spa's and open my own personal training business. I DO NOT believe in short cuts when it comes to your health. You have to exercise and eat as well as you can.
With that said, I always though P90X was a gimmick until that day. Jump ahead 90 days (just like the TV says). I lost over 40 lbs and was feeling like I did in my athletic days. I'm 51 now.
I want to let you know up front that I was so impressed with what happenend to me by doing this workout that I became a Beachbody Coach, came out of my Fitness Career retirement and market the products to people like me. This blog is not meant to sell anything. It is going to be my journqal of what happens to me by using the Body Beast, Beachbody's first bodybuilding, muscle growing fitness program.
I am eating completely different than I have been for the last 3 years. I am really keeping tabs of my calories, proteins, carbs and fat. This website is already helping me to do this.
Body Beast Week 1 entry is up next. Enjoy your Sunday and I hope my entries eithr educate, motivate or at least entertain you. ~Jack~
