Xyngular has given my friend Shawn and me the ability to maintain good physical standing in the military. Both of us had previously failed our physical fitness tests due to waist measurements.

The Air Force recently changed its fitness requirements and put maximum and minimum allowable tolerances, based on age and gender.

There are four categories:
• 1.5 mile run
• Waist measurement. You automatically fail if you’re over 39" for men of any age, and 35" for women of any any age.
• Pushups
• Situps

With Xyngular I have lost 27 pounds so far and 3 inches in my waist. I’m six ft. tall. My friend Shawn has lost 49 pounds and 8 inches in his waist. He is six two. Shawn had more to lose than me.

Xyngular also helped me prepare for an event called the Tough Mudder. These events are held all across the United States and overseas.

My event was the Tough Mudder Colorado 2011. It was a 10-mile course with 24 obstacles. Altitude at the start was 8,100 ft. and went up to over 11,440 ft. It’s the TOUGHEST one-day event on the planet. This is not your average mud run or boring spirit-crushing road race.

The obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all-round strength, stamina, fitness, camaraderie, and mental grit. Forget about your race time, simply completing the event is a badge of honor.

Not everyone finishes, but those who do make it to the post-race party. They truly earn the right to call themselves a Tough Mudder. There’s also a true sense of camaraderie that, sadly, is rarely seen outside of the military these days.

Some of the obstacles require help of others… they are simply too much for one man to tackle alone. Unlike some other types of endurance racers, Tough Mudders are team players; they help each other out. It’s also about making sure no man is left behind, not worrying about your race time. Most proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Program.

One thing that keeps you driving is the thought of what our Wounded Warriors have gone through in battle. We’re doing it all for them.

Xyngular’s Products helped me physically get in shape for this event, and XYNG helped me have the energy to make it through! I couldn’t have done this without Xyngular.
