My Personal Bio:
Who am I? My name is Scott Peterson. (*No, really. And no, there is no relation between me and the person in California in ANY way). On the Beachbody forums, I go by “Countryfunk” I am a Beachbody Coach and can help you get to your fitness goals. My site on Beachbody is here: Click Here
I was always active in sports growing up. Baseball, soccer, snow skiing. Was dedicated to weight lifting from age 18-27. Suffered extensive injuries playing soccer at age 27 to my ankles and fell off the fitness wagon. I had always been thin and ate what I wanted, when I wanted and how much I wanted never an issue. From age 30 – 37, I ballooned up to 205lbs. from my ‘fighting weight’ of 160lbs.
On a 5′10″ guy I looked like a basketball on a stick. I saw a picture of myself in the pool with my kids and asked, “Who is the fat guy in the pool? I thought we were the only ones in the….” and it dawned on me that I didn’t recognize myself anymore.
I made consistent small changes over time, rededicated myself to working out and lost the weight at age 37. I started playing indoor soccer at a competitive level again. At age 41 I noticed I was getting a step (or two) slower; and it was frustrating.
Ran across P90X while researching Plyometric exercises and it struck me that this was the ‘kick in the rear’ I needed. I’ve ‘brought it’ in the kitchen and with the DVD’s and completed round one. I am in round three as I type this and loving every minute of it. There are good days and bad days, but I am ‘pushing play’ without fail. And I’ve gotten my ‘jump’ back and am much more explosive from a standing stop. I’m actually a better soccer player now at 41 than when I was in my 20’s.
My goal now is to help others discover and achieve their goals. I’ve done P90X for two full cycles and P90X-Plus for another. Part of my journey now is helping others get through their journey.
Peace.
Scott
