My life has taken some unexpected twists and turns a long the way, but I think none has surprised me more than my adventure with DDPYoga and professional wrestler turned fitness guru, Diamond Dallas Page.
This past August I was watching the now famous inspirational video about Arthur Boorman for about the hundredth time, when something finally clicked and I realized I wanted to do it myself. My husband Steve and I ordered the DVDs and got started. To say we love the program would be putting it mildly. It's fantastic! Anyone, at any level of fitness, can do it. I'm in reasonable shape, my husband less so, but we can do the same workout side by side and both get exactly what we need out of it. DDP shows you lots of modifications and encourages you to make it your own.
DDP's trademark signature move is the "Diamond Cutter", two hands held up in a diamond shape. I got a wild hair and decided to make his symbol into a pendant. I sent it to him along with a letter thanking him for putting together such a great program and telling him how inspiring it is.
Imagine my shock with Diamond Dallas Page himself called me personally to thank me!! I was blown out of the water! I also found out he lives just 40 minutes from me. He invited Steve and me to come over and workout with him in person. Needless to say, we jumped at the chance! After the workout Dallas and I got to talking and he suggested his students might also like the Diamond Cutter medallions.
To make a long story a little shorter... I'm now producing both Pewter and Silver Medallions for the DDPYoga webstore!
I'm really excited about this new chapter in my life, and just wanted to share. And if you haven't seen it already, please do watch the Arthur Boorman video. It's just amazing. If he can do this, anyone can.
