Hey gang,
Ive been reading all your posts while doing my first 30 days. You guys have been a great source of motivation and insight, thanks. Ill be 44 in June and Im trying not to look 44. As a High School Head Football Coach I was definitly not practicing what I was preaching to my players, so I felt like it was time to make a change in my life. Yes Im now an addict!! Thought I'd try to post my Day 1 & Day 30 pics. Ive got a long ways to go, but Im improving a little every day.
Thanks,
Mark

Gonna try again

ok maybe this will be the after pic?

Very Good Fish! Keep it up!

I'm going to be 40 this year and I can now say I am in the best shape of my life. I done my 90 days and i'm now in Phase II, session 2. I think this stuff would benefit some of the football players.

Keep going.

Thanks, yep got some of the kids doing it, suplementing mostly the cardio with them. My Advanced PE classes are all into it. They love the Kenpo and AB ripper. They want to do that every day. Can't say as I blame them, they are alot of fun!
Im way fired up. I get up Mon-Fri and do my workout at 5am, Saturday I sleep in to 7 and get after it. Great way to start the day.

Very impressive for just 30 days Mark.
Keep it up, Sparta is a couple of Phases away.

Good job so far

Thanks, just got done doing Ab Ripper before we head off to Church. Ive never sported a 6 pack only the keg. Im gonna get there.
Thanks again

Nice work Mark! Huge difference so far.

Those are pretty drastic results. Just curious as to how much you followed the provided nutrition plan? Did you do it exactly as directed?

Dude!!!! What an awesome transformation, 30 days, and your lookin' like that, watch out Tony Horton, someone gunning for your cover shoot.
I like the fact that you have introduced this to the kids. I used Plyo and Yoga for PT classes for my students, and they absolutely fell in love with them, and ask all the time if we can do them. I have PT again this week with them, so they're getting Interval Plus, beware what you ask for kiddos.
Keep up the good work, look forward to reading more.

Thanks, Im betting that the first phase will show the most drastic results, from here on out it'll be little by little.

No I can't say i did. I just try to be smarter in what I eat and drink. No soda's at all. I was huge into the Full Throttle's (a couple a day)Cut my portions in half, used turkey or chicken instead of beef. More salads, I don't snack durring the day, I have a breakfast bar when I get that urge for dorritos. My wife has made some of the recipies in the book also. Plus i stopped eating after 7pm, and Im in the sack by 11ish not 3am. Nothing special really. Plus I just am determined to work my A$$ off period.

Well, that certainly is a relief. I've been following the diet as closely as I can, but man that thing is just too dedicated for a normal person. I'm staying away from beef and sticking with the turkeys, chickens, and the occasional steak for the protein. Going hard with the veggies too and that's my biggest struggle. I hate vegetables so much. Good inspiration though..keep up the good work!

wow. great job man.

that's also a relief for me to hear that you're not die hard on the nutrition plan. it's all about eating smart

I have noticed that the deeper I get into this, the more Im paying attention to what I eat. Ive really started to be very conscious of every little thing. I think Im worrying too much about slipping up and blowing it. Getting a little weird. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.

That's absolutely a good thing. I used to be real heavy on the keeping in shape when I was in high school, then I started college and started drinking every weekend and going out for that 3 in the morning fast food and then got to the point where I would eat anything without any worries. The more cautious you are the better you'll be in the long run...with food anyways,

Hey Fish, I was also curious... What version of the workout did you do? I'm planning on doing the lean version so I can lose a lot of fat before putting on muscle and I'm afraid that doing the classic version first will make me to bulky and thick,

I can only speak for me but I just did the classic. I wanted to burn fat but I also wanted to build muscle. I was/am very intent on building size, mainly in the chest, shoulders, bi's and tri's. Working the abs is probobly what I stress over the most though, probably because it's the hardest to loose. So I do the classic but every now and then I throw in some doubles (mainly KenpoX)I go over board on the Kenpo, try to pretend Im in a fight makes me punch that much harder, really emphisise the twist and throwing the hips out there.
Mark

Great. Maybe I'll just do the classic version since it is possible to lose weight and build muscle rather than just build muscle.

WOW!


You look amazing!
