This will be a short one...or at least I think it will be. Tomorrow marks the beginning of phase II in the P90X program. I get to test out a few new DVDs and will probably post my opinions to these new workouts. When talking to my P90X graduate buddy, he admitted that the 2nd month was a lot more fun than that 1st one. While I did enjoy the first month, I look forward to some more variety in the workout. This is my last day of the recovery week. Yep...I feel recovered. Although...core syngergistics didn't make me feel as though I was supposed to be recovering!!
It is amazing to me to know that I've completed a month of this training already. In a few days, I will post the 30-day results and probably a few pictures to compare to my "before" photos. I'm excited to see if I can tell any difference when I compare the 2. Again...as in my previous post, in the mirror, I can't tell a difference, although my clothes are beginning to "loosen" on me.
The other "motivating" thing that I consider is that I kept pressing play for a month...I got past my lazy tendencies and kept rolling along...some days hurt, some days felt great...some days I had a ton of energy and some, I could barely pick myself up off of the floor. Through it all, one resounding thought cuts through all of my emotions...I AM SO MUCH BETTER OFF, PHYSICALLY, FOR DOING THIS!! I have made sacrifices...my wife and family have supported me and have made sacrifices also. I hesitate to think of what kind of shape I'd be in if I just didn't do it or gave up part of the way in the 1st month. If you sit on the couch long enough, you can ALWAYS talk yourself out of exercising...GET UP and GET MOVING....you'll thank yourself later. Sounds corny, I know...but I'm a corny guy...what can I say?!?
I am going to bed tonight actually excited to get into another month of P90X. Tomorrow is a new workout as well as my old buddy, Ab Ripper X....great times are ahead!!!
Check back on Tuesday...that's my results post...keep reading!! Later!
