Meetin' DA P90X MAN!

Tony Horton …P90X...OHHH THAT NAME!! it has made me curse bad words regularly during his DVD workouts in my home. It’s a love hate relationship! Love da results and the endorphin high – BUT LAWD – those sessions can make a person wanna.....!!! 

Tony - introduction

He makes you feel as if he is right there beside you pushing you…he is engaging, knowledgeable and SO INSPIRING! Who doesn’t want to be ripped?? (ok some of you don’t…but those that do – YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKIN ABOUT!!)

Well – I am on a wellness / fitness exploration journey and let me tell you…God is working ! I got an AMAZING opportunity to first volunteer at the FIU Recreation Expo on Wed. Now – I happened to hear about this through my dear friend Lori posting the event on her F/B page. She probably didn’t realize HOW excited this would make me…well – I took the info. and RAN with it…

I tracked down the Asst. Director of the Recreation Dept. at FIU BBC (BIG UP WARREN for all da help!!), set up a meeting and offered my services in any way for the event! Well… due to requisite ‘red tape’ – I couldn’t volunteer directly through FIU in such short time, so he put me on to the event planner (Nicole ) for Extreme Fitness Results www.extremefitnessresults.com & Get Moving Catalog www.getmovingcatalog.com  (the folks that coordinated bringing Tony to the event)… and she accepted me as a volunteer.

I got my instructions and showed up bright and early Wed. morning for work. The team I met – fitness minded, wellness conscious persons who were helpful, warm, eager to share information and share their weight loss stories, how Tony has impacted their lives and those that made a shift from corporate to fitness…a journey I am on. We all clicked and happily worked our tails off …I got to hear Tony’s intro and how he got started, as well as his keynote speech on 11 Laws of Health & Fitness. What great insights to living and maintaining wellness. Hope to share my notes with you on that soon.

Students loving it up!

A rose between two
MUSCULAR thorns! :)

We shared protein bar samples, explained how they could become a part of the Team Beach Body network as a coach and other product info with the Expo attendees. We then geared up to get the students active in a workout with Tony! WHAT A TURNOUT!! At least 200+ turned up to sweat and challenge themselves. Tony showed NO MERCY and had everyone dripping…It was great! From teenagers to a woman in her 70’s (YES – seventies people)!! They got a taste of the recovery drink to send them home quite excited!

Sharing P90X protein bars with folks

WHAT A DAY! Those events usually take a lot out of you as it is NON-STOP.  Nicole invited me to come to their second event the next day at the beautiful Standard Hotel on the beach. I GLADLY accepted. Well – this event was much smaller but this time I got to work out with Tony! We did a power yoga session for 1.5 hours on the dock by the pool and Biscayne Bay and then hung out with Tony taking pics and chattin’.  He BROUGHT IT for sure!! :)

But if you ask me Tony's MAIN message throughout the 2 days - it was 'GO OUT OF YOUR WAY AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SOMEONE THAT YOU ARE IN CONFLICT WITH'!! He shared how that changed his life and started this journey for him...Basic principle of life...Give of yourself! Sounds easy enough huh?? It's not for everyone...but it changes lives.

Larger than life - P90X!

He gave the owner of Extreme Fitness Results a challenge…he told him he had to drop to 175lbs (from about 200lbs) by next year! Failing that he would embarrass him on stage by making him take off his shirt!! WELL – its ON now! YOU CAN DO IT PABLO!! You got this :)

I asked Tony how he suggests I make the switch to Fitness / Wellness full-time…certainly certification but MORE so he said…associate myself with like-minded people!! I FULLY AGREE and am on that!
