Many of you have probably seen the infomercials and wondered if this program was all that. I wondered too. In September I was given the DVDs by a co-worker, although I thought I was in “OK” shape I wanted a challenge.
So off I went. I quickly learned it is more than a workout routine but a lifestyle change and a total fitness/ healthy lifestyle program.
The first few days were extremely tough and I did wonder if I had bitten off more than I could chew. But I decided I would commit to the program and just do my best. In a matter of weeks I began seeing results and the hard work everyday became something I looked forward to. The workouts still challenging but I found that with each passing week and the more I challenged my body the more I was capable of. Before I knew it, it was Day 10, then Day 30, then Day 60, then Day 90. I had made it and I felt great! I had a new self confidence and my body had changed! Why stop now?! I could not wait to start the program again!
Having Sara’s support through this journey has made all the difference. Having that support system at home and her encouragement helped me to keep getting up everyday and keep pushing play, even on the days when I honestly wanted to skip a day. So that is why I am so happy to have Sara and others join me in the P90X journey I am hoping we can all lean on each other for advice, tips and encouragement and achieve better fitness and health.
So join us! Jump in! I won’t tell you it will be easy but you CAN do it and you will not regret it! Decide and commit! We would love to have your company on our P90X adventure.

This blog is intended to serve as both a resource and support through the P90X2 program. As P90X graduates, we've decided to continue to include helpful links, articles and recipes to those who are working through the P90X programs. Although we will mostly focus on the new program, we will keep all links and articles pertaining to P90X on our blog. As always, we welcome comments, questions and any other inspiring words to others who might be reading this and seeking encouragement themselves.
Alright Black...after seeing your results yesterday I had to give it a shot. To say my measurements and photos I took last night were humbling would be an understatement; however it definately motivated me to start and "show up" for day 1. I have to say I had a great workout . . . but it was tough and doing the ab ripper X immediately following my workout may not have been the best idea :). But I have 89 more days to go and only 29 till I get to phase 2. I figure I'll count down in phases (29 days seems closer than 89). Looking forward to the journey and the results. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteI like your thinking Tomas. I think I might start counting down the phases too! Good job for starting!
ReplyDeleteI broke it down in weeks. The program is 13 weeks. Get through this week and you are flying. It helps me anyway!
ReplyDeleteHearing that everyone is joining the party gets me pumped up! I can't wait for tomorrow now! We can do this!
