My TapouT XT Story

Smiling on Day 90 of TapouT XT!

My name is Lisa and I'm the author of this blog. I started the TapouT XT fitness program in June, 2012 and finished 90 days later.

In the past, I published a daily summary to my friends and family when I took on new fitness programs. They asked me to do it again for TapouT XT... and so... here I am. I decided to publish my summaries to the broader TapouT XT community because the group is so active on Facebook. I've never seen a more engaged and supportive community, all working toward a fit and healthy lifestyle. This community rocks!

Because the updates published here are written primarily for friends and family, they're the real-deal emotion of the day. I find humor in all things. I'll apologize in advance if you're offended by anything I say here.

This is in no way an official or sponsored TapouT XT blog. I'm just a fitness enthusiast sharing my fun, my pain, my challenges, and my glory as I go through the program. I'm 48 and working hard to "keep it together" as I get older. :) TapouT XT is a fun way to amp up my fitness program. I know there are many 40-somethings doing the program, including Mike Karpenko, the founder who is 43 and in amazing shape. I may have a few more aches and pains than the younger crowd. That said, I hope this blog makes you laugh. If you find inspiration in my journey, all the better.

If you're new to TapouT XT... know you're not alone. There's a whole community of people who are right there with you, pounding it out and trying to reach their individual best fitness potential. Check them out at www.facebook.com/TapouTXT.

Even better - connect with Mike directly at www.facebook.com/officialmikekarpenko.

If you haven't yet tried TapouT XT, it's amazing. It's not easy, but it's not intended to be. It's extreme. It's tough. But know this: it's FUN. And the results others have achieved speak for themselves. Check the tabs up top to learn more about the program and Mike Karpenko, aka KTrain, who developed the program, or click here to visit the TapouT XT website.

Thanks for your interest in this blog. Wishing you good fitness!
