A painful start

I started workout to the BeachBody dvd's in late 2005 after my health took a big dumpster dive... at first there were many things for me to over come...

Not liking exercise, tons of excuses why I should not exercise, joint pains from my Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) you name it I could find a reason not to workout.

But I wanted my health to get better so I finally committed and decided that this was it in January of 06, I found the BeachBody message boards and found some online support that really got me through my first 6 week program...

I started out with Slim In 6 and after that I moved on to several of the other workout programs available such as Power 90, Slim Series, Turbo Jam, Power 90 Master Series and P90X.

Even with the workouts and being on medication for RA, my joints were still hurting and still giving me issues... but I have to say though consistency and patience my health finally started to see an upswing...

Today I have been consistent in my workouts and my health has seen great improvements... I have been medication free since May of 07 and I'm staying 99% pain free...

My focus is on my exercise, my eating and finding a balance in my daily life... not always easy when you are working full time and being a single mom... but with the BeachBody workouts I'm able schedule it into my busy day.
