Check out Amber's AMAZING story! From one Chalene junkie to another, I had to share! These programs really do work!
I used to be in great shape, but after I became pregnant, I gained 75 pounds and developed hypertension and toxemia. I felt like I had gained so much that I would never be able to get back in shape. So I kind of gave up. It was hopeless to even try. I felt like I was trapped in a body that was not mine.
When my son was admitted to the ICU, my life was turned upside down. Seeing him fight for his life made me realize that life can change in a split second. Once I knew that he was going to be okay, I knew it was time to focus on my health. I was determined to drop weight and my blood pressure.
For me, the road back began with Turbo Jam. Chalene made me realize that I was capable of so much more than I gave myself credit for. She taught me to adopt the mindset that I CAN and WILL do whatever I put my mind to. She would always emphasize that you get back what you put into something, so I pushed myself every day.
And it worked—I felt myself getting stronger and stronger and the weight just started dropping off. Once I was comfortable with Turbo Jam, I knew it was time to start giving my workouts an extra boost. That’s when I graduated to TurboFire and then Chalene Extreme (I admit it, I’m a Chalene junkie!). That got me into even better shape and it gave me the confidence to tackle something I was always too intimidated to try: P90X!
I didn’t think it was possible to sweat that much, but now look at me. I have lost 74 pounds and almost 60 inches!!! Can you believe that? I am actually proud of myself now. Even better—to hear my 9-year-old say, “Mom I am so proud of you!”—there’s nothing better than that.
Now I look at old pictures of myself, and I am like, “who is that person and why didn’t I help her sooner!” I guess it just took me that long to find Beachbody. Thank you Beachbody. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
