Posted on: January 9th, 2009 P90X – The experience starts
So, I’ve been trying to get started with P90X and consistently keep with it without breaks, I first got it right before the holidays, but I took a short trip and kinda stopped after just a couple of days. Well, it’s been a week, and I can confidently say that I’m on my way, and there’s no stopping.
For those of you who don’t know what P90X is, you can check it out here (I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO AFFILIATIONS WITH THEM): http://www.beachbody.com/
So far, my experience with this has been painful, I’m really struggling with the exercises at times, but it’s supposed to be hard, otherwise you wouldn’t get the results right?… Even though it is hard, after only a few days doing it, I already feel a change. The first day I bought the pull up bar, I could barely do 3 pull ups. I tried it today, just to test, I was able to pull 7 in a row… I know it’s not much at all, but for a person who’s never put working out in the forefront of this priorities, it’s a big accomplishment.
Last night, I had to do Yoga… ok I know what a lot of you are thinking, Yoga? Flexibility? Stretching?… Let me tell you, it was the hardest, most greatest experience in this program thus far. I was sweating profusely, shaking, feeling the stands, really tough stuff… I normally suffer from lower back pain from always sitting at my desk, I think I have found the solution for it.
Diet has a lot to do with it, but to be honest, I’m not following the program completely. I read through the nutrition guide, and took the most of it. To be honest, I know that I can do a little better on my diet, like stop drinking beer for example… but I also want to keep enjoying the quality of my life a bit 
. I probably won’t the the full results, but I know I will benefit from it either way.
I will try to give updates every week on my progress with the program. And will be uploading my pictures soon enough. I’m hoping to use the blog as a way to push me forward and see the program through… So, any encouragement is always welcome
BRING IT!
