Mark’s P90X Results

Name: Mark Klanac

Program: P90X

What made you decide to start P90X? Was it the infomercial, friend or co-workers results, bored with the gym, etc.?

A friend recommended P90X to me. I have always been "in shape" but never stuck with a workout routine because I would quickly become bored.

What were your biggest obstacles (work, school, family)? How did you overcome those?

I have a family of 5, work a full-time job and go to school full-time. I also officiate high school and college basketball year round. I don't allow obstacles, i.e. excuses, get in the way. After starting P90X, I was hooked from day 1. I have never been that sore from a workout and after Chest, Back & Ab Ripper X, I knew that this was the program for me.

How has P90X changed your life? Weight loss, inches off waist, body fat %, sports performance, etc.?

P90X has changed my life by helping me to become more fit, flexible and less injury prone. Before P90X, while officiating basketball games, I would constantly cramp up during half-time and I was always out of breath. Now I can run with the best of 'em. Plus, when trying to advance in officiating, assignors only hire referees with a certain "look". P90X has given me the "look" I was looking for.

You signed up as Coach. Besides the business, what do you like most about it? Is it the discounts, committing to your health and fitness, coaching others, all of the above, etc?

I originally signed up as a coach to receive the discounts. Since then, I enjoy being a coach because it holds me accountable to everyone. Now that everyone calls me "Mr. P90X" or "Tony Horton" I have to stay in shape.  I have also enjoyed sharing P90X and other Beachbody programs with others. A number of my friends and family members have started one Beachbody program or another and they are all glad they did.
