Trying equals growing...
I love this quote "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow" by Ronald E. Osborn because it can be applied to your fitness journey or just life in general. I know for me, doing P90X2 has been a challenge, several of the workouts are definitely beyond what I had mastered in P90X. But I know because I am trying, because I am pushing myself, that I will grow that much stronger. Remember to add variety and keep trying to master new things!

My story of finding P90X and starting my JPP Fitness business.
Welcome to my blog! This is my first blog entry ever, so I'm pretty excited to be entering the blogging world. My plan is to use this blog to help others who want to improve their health and/or fitness, so they can "Get Fit and Go Live" life to its fullest. I will post articles, tips, upcoming events, product reviews and offer support, hopefully giving it all a fun enjoyable twist along the way. Feel free to leave comments and reach out to me, I'm here to help - it's my mission, it's my "why" of starting a fitness business ~ to help others.
I thought the best place to start is to share "My Story" - the journey of me and my husband finding P90X, how it evolved my fitness, changed our lives and lead me to start my JPP Fitness business as an Independent Beachbody Coach. A journey I am so grateful I have made.
How we found P90X: My best friend and her husband had been doing P90X for two weeks and were already seeing results. I was excited for them and also intrigued about this program that could generate great results so quickly. My husband and I looked it up on the internet. There were so many great reviews about the program and tons of videos of people who had transformed their bodies. We were tired of feeling horrible and wanted a change. We decided that we would order it and give it a try. Little did I know what a huge impact that decision would have on my life!
At 39 years old and after having 3 kids, I never imagined that I could get in the best shape of my life and feel great on a daily basis. I had struggled after each child to lose the extra 60 lbs I had gained. I had always loved fitness, jogged all the time, and went go to the gym twice a week, but could never lose all the weight or achieve that toned, sculpted body that I had when I was younger. Worst yet, I was tired all the time and frequently was sick.
That all changed in just 90 days after completing P90X! We pressed play every night, we followed the nutritional plan and in only one week could start to see change and we started to started to feel great! We loved the variety of workouts, and how extremely challenging they were. Most of all, we loved how fit & healthy we were quickly becoming. Eating healthier was also making a huge difference, we had more energy and were sick less during the flu season than ever before. By the time we finished P90X, we had not only lost a lot of weight but I finally had the toned slim body back and I was in BETTER shape than when I was in high school!
There was definitely something about P90X that had made the difference. It was the order of varied workouts, coupled with the excellent nutrition plan (which included drinking Shakeology every day), that finally gave us the healthy lifestyle we have today. After we "graduated" from P90X (which means we completed the 90 day program) we took our "after" pictures and my husband put together our 90 Day Results video and posted it on YouTube. We posted our Before and After pictures on Facebook to share with others. We received messages asking more about the program and other messages about how we inspired some people to want to make a change and they too were going to order P90X.
That was when I decided to start JPP Fitness. When you find something that is so good, so precious and that for the first time in your life, actually "worked" - you want to share it with as many people as you can. I wanted to help people change their life, get healthier and fit. I wanted to be there to help support them and answer their questions. Over the past year I have been able to help my parents get healthy and fit, this has been my most favorite accomplishment, it is priceless in my opinion. I have been able to help friends and customers change their lives. My life has changed in so many ways, and it all started with P90X. I couldn't be happier or more excited about my future. So I'm ready to pay it forward and help anyone that wants to "Get Fit and Go Live"!
