I had just had my second child and was feeling like a beached whale, okay, I wasn’t that big, but you feel like that sometimes. So I joined a local gym and started working out there several days week for about two hours per visit. I was looking better, feeling better and shedding a few pounds, but for all that effort and all that time spent working out, I was expecting much more in the results category. While I was working out at the gym, I noticed many of the other members working out just as hard as I was and not seeing any changes in them either. So out of frustration and feeling like I was wasting time and money, I stopped going to the gym and started hunting for some kind workout that would really work the way we all want them to work . . . quick.

Well, I started trying all different kinds of video workout tapes and CDs searching for something that produced the results I was looking for. I finally came across a cardio kick boxing video that also incorporated some weight lifting. I stuck with it for a few months and my body was changing for the better. The only problem was that the video was an hour long and I was getting bored doing the same thing over and over. Eventually I stopped seeing any changes because my body got use to the workout. So again I set out to find something that would work quickly, not get boring, and not take hours to do.

Then I found the exercise program that suited me at best. First I started using it but I was worried that it wasn’t going to work the very first day because it seemed way to easy and very short. I only worked out for about 25 minutes and I was done. That is less than one quarter of the time I spent at the gym. But to my surprise, the next day, I had sore muscles! I was so happy, it was a good pain! So I continued to follow the instructions and in only 2 weeks, I could visibly see a difference in my body. I was in shock that it happened so fast.

I stuck with the workout and now I am in the best shape ever. I weigh less than I did before I had kids, I have more muscle tone than when I was a teenager and I have to go buy smaller clothes because everything is too big.

Also I got sick during the Christmas holiday this past year. I didn’t workout while I was sick and I lost my workout momentum. So when I finally got better, I just couldn’t make myself start up again, even knowing how quick it worked and how short the workouts were. I was in a slump. You know what I am talking about.

So then Spring was coming around the corner and it was time to start digging out the shorts. Well, all I had to do was try on one pair of shorts that didn’t fit very good and look in the mirror in horror and the motivation returned, warp speed. I knew I would want to be wearing shorts during the hot weather that was soon to come, so I cracked down and got back to the workout that had changed everything for me. It didn’t take long to start seeing results again. I lost about 15 pounds in 4 months. Now you have to take into account that I am also eating very healthy. Eating right and working out go hand in hand, one doesn’t really work that well with out the other.
