Matt Carroll
I'm 43 years old and married. My wife and I have been married for 19 years. We have two pre-teen children.
Prior
to finding BeachBody, I was happy being an average guy with an average
build. The problem is that the average build in America seems to be
getting bigger every day.
I was no exception.
A friend once tried
to warn me of what was coming if I did not make a change. He said
“Matt, one day you are going to get out of bed, look in the mirror and
see your father looking back at you.” I was 32 then and he had just
turned 40. It only took me 6 years to figure out what he was talking
about. At age 38 I was 220 lbs and as soft as a pillow I was squeezing into size 38
pants. At 42 I was 165 lbs, with definition and wearing size 32 pants. In the last year I have added 15 lbs back on and I am up to size 34s. Even with adding some of the weight back on, I
have never been as fit as I am right now. I coach little league
baseball and I do all the drills that I make the kids do. I used to
send them for their runs at practice and stand around with the other
coaches, now I run with them. I owe it all to Beachbody, P90X, Tony
Horton and my wife who has not only supported me, but joined me on this
quest for better health.
My goal is to now show others how to do the same!
My workout motto: Put everything you have into it and you will get everything you want out of it!
