Interview with Mrs. Ryan

A few days ago, I did a short interview with Christi Ryan, a Beachbody Coach. A beachbody coach is someone who pays to be a member of the Beachbody company (makers of P90X, Hip Hop Abs, Insanity), and works to promote the products while getting a share of profit from each sell they handle. They also are linked to people who are doing the various programs, so that they can help motivate and answer any questions the person may have. When I started doing Insanity, Mrs. Ryan was my assigned coach, so I figured I would take the time to ask her a few questions over the phone.

Some of the questions I asked her, pertained to her involvement with fitness and how it changed her life. Mrs. Ryan is an R.N, so knowing of a healthy lifestyle was not alien to her. However, after becoming a Mom and moving into her 40's, life began to catch up with her. After being unhappy with the way her current active lifestyle was, she decided to do one of those "crazy" TV workout programs from the Beachbody company several years ago. Since then, it has reshaped her life and led her to where she is today. What really pushed her to start doing it was remembering the way she was when she was young and thin, and wanted to bring that health back, especially since she is an example for others by being a nurse. She became a Beachbody coach because she was interested in making easy profit while helping others regain health and joy. She believes that a pursuit of fitness leads to longevity, and eternal happiness!

I really enjoyed my interview with Mrs. Ryan. She is a really sincere and loving person. She seemed to care about me, even though I had only known her through emails. She was ecstatic and very knowledgeable of health and nutrition. Truth be told, I didn't learn a whole lot, other than fitness truly does make a bubbly person! I enjoyed hearing about the changes she went through on her path to fitness, and what she had to endure, it was very interesting. I think the Beachbody coach program is excellent, and would like to become a part of it someday! Unfortunately you have to be at least 21 I believe, so not for a while. I believe helping others attain fitness would be a great path for my future. All in all, it was interesting and I met someone new.
