Well, that’s what happened a few years ago when I purchased
p90X. I was determined to change my life around, and be a new person in 90
days. And who knows? Possibly even do another 90 days after that! But as usual,
I failed. Why? There are probably so many reasons, but the one that I’m going
to emphasize is the following: I was not being held accountable.
Okay so how am I going to fix this? Recently, someone added
me on my BeachBody account. I went to check it out, and realized that the last
time I had signed in using that username was in December of 2011! This guy
noticed the same thing and kind of wanted to give me a push to see where I was
at. Long story short, he is now my online coach (because he lives in another
state J).
We converse through FaceBook and he helps me realize that I can do this. Why?
Because this is not just my fight. It’s our fight!
Every now and then, he has a challenge to which he invites
his people (what are called? Clients?). On March 25th, he has a new
one. During this, there are two requirements: 1) you have to select one
BeachBody program and stick with it and 2) you have to post in the FaceBook
group daily to be held accountable. I talked to him about it and am going to
officially restart this month (of course, I’ll be modifying everything because
of my foot). Coincidentally, the last day falls on the first day of my
induction ceremony for work! It seems like it fell into my lap at the perfect
moment. And this time, I’ll have to stick with it because if I don’t, Chris
will keep nagging me. (Well, I hope that he does anyway.) And I know that it’s
possible to lie since this is online, but I just don’t think I can straight out
lie to him like that! So I won’t J
Okay now the big question: WHY p90X?
- Tony Horton is scary. You will listen to him when you follow his DVDs. He’s also funny, so you will smile/laugh every so often. He’s encouraging. He allows breaks/rests but you get to know him well enough…and you stop taking those breaks!
- There is a diet portion of this. Aha! So this must be the catch. Some impossible diet program that’s difficult to follow…some program that makes you eat so little that you have no energy left for the workouts. Well, that’s just not true. You can eat as much as you’d like (be reasonable) but you have to eat in ratios. Each 30 day segment has a protein to carb to fat (I believe) ratio that you have to follow. This way, you can eat what you’d like, but you are controlling what goes into your body and supplements the workouts! [Side note: I’m actually going to look into the first part of this soon and maybe start earlier to see what it’s like.]
- It works! I know there are reviews out there that say it doesn’t, but the majority of the people say: if you set your mind to it and really try harder and harder every single day…then it works. And I get that maybe a few people can pretend it worked for them for promotional purposes, but how are SO many people going to do the same? Just YouTube it and watch peoples’ transformations!
- It makes sense. Muscle confusion makes sense! It’s similar to diet confusion (it’s a thing, believe me).
What are things to be careful about with p90X? Well, that I’ll
share later.
Also, I looked for people sharing their experience
throughout p90X but didn’t find much, so I hope to be different and track how I
feel and what results I see every week! Just remember, everything I do will be
modified because of my foot, so your results could be even better!!
