Marion78

Overall Goal:  Training hard to get totally ripped and to be in the best shape of my life.

Fit Status:  Since beginning with P90X I feel really like a million dollars. In Taekwondo I noticed my overall performance has greatly improved. Love it!

Motivation Level: 10/10


Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Marion
Sex:
Female
Age:
31
Location:
North Rhine - Westphalia, Germany
Occupation:
Law clerk

College:
High School:
When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
I started with "P90X" in the middle of December 2008. It's just the kind of workout I like. It is strenuous, extreme, varying and highly motivating with a great instructor. When I began my training, I had 16.5% body fat. By the end of May 2009 I dropped below the 10% margin for the first time in my life.
Why I Love It:
It is hard, it always wears me out and I love the sweat running through my face. Sport wouldn't be sport to me if I wouldn't sweat. And I like eating a lot. I hate all kinds of diets, I've been through all of them. None of them works. Working out tough is the best way to have a great body and to eat like a monster at the same time. :)
How I Stay Motivated:
I simply love doing sports and pushing my body to the limit. Honestly, I do not have the problems to stay motivated which many others have because this is the one and only thing that makes me really happy. I also teach kids and adults in Taekwondo for over ten years. That's my favourite sport. Martial arts is simply great to bring my mind in balance and to stay sharp. And I really love to kick and punch, hehe.
BB Accomplishments:

No real workout, just Taekwondo and Jogging P90X, day 299
This image was taken in the beginning of November 2008. During this time, I did not working out with weights and especially not training my abs. But as you can see, I was already quite fit in an overall view. Estimated 17% body fat.
Lower abs showing up...slowly but steady without dieting hard.
