How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program? I am now able to fit back in my “fit” clothes and exercise clothing as well as my “cute” clothes. Each one of my thighs before starting was bigger than my current waist measurement by several inches. In less than 6 months I lost 72 pounds going from 216 to 144 and cut my body fat in half. I like the fact that it was really fun! I looked forward to doing it everyday!ĭescribe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. I love the Music, I love Shaun T’s attitude and sense of humor. What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I loved doing the videos and the results came with my increased motivation! The HHA videos took away my fears of judgement, stress, rejection and failure I felt were inevitable at that point when considering a traditional gym workout and allowed me to start my journey. I felt more like I was going to a dance party than through a grueling workout. I looked forward to seeing Shaun T in a stress free, fun atmosphere. From the very first workout the dread of working out vanished. The greatest challenge I faced was motivating myself to get going, to just get started! With Hip Hop Abs I allowed myself to try something new in the privacy of my home, without what I feared as rejection and the embarrassment I associated with going to the gym. What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge? I had gained close to 100 pounds since the last time they saw me and I could just tell they were shocked. I visited family and that’s when I realized how much weight I had gained. What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey? I couldn’t bring myself to even get dressed to go to the gym much less show up. I was extremely depressed and extremely embarrassed of how obese I had become. How did you feel about yourself and your body?īefore I started, I had very little energy.
