1/2 the Journey – There is no time better to Push Play!

I’m nearly there! Just a couple more days and I will have made it 1/2 of the way through P90X! What an amazing ride it has been, my life has completely changed, I’m in better shape than ever, I have greater endurance, I kick higher, I do pull-ups without a chair, and its only going to get better!

One day I simply had enough, I couldn’t stand to look at myself in the mirror and make excuses anymore! I knew it was time for change and I was ready. You can do the same!

P90X Reviews Day 41 – Ab Ripper X & Kenpo

It Gets Better!

I was talking to a friend last night about habits or routines. That when starting out the first two weeks will make or break you. I see this in my life all the time and I’ve observed it in others as well.

My theory is – If you can make it through the first two weeks and stick to your goals then you have completed all the hard work – Not just physically but also emotionally. In the P90X workout the first two weeks are crucial! You will feel a lot of pain (good pain), you will be disappointed with your numbers, and you may even get nauseous during some workouts. Don’t make yourself sick but keep going! You know what your body is saying so if something is hurting you then find a different way – But don’t just give up!

Swallow your pride and do what works!!

Week 1 and week 2 will be the hardest but just set your goals on the big picture – I promise it gets easier as long as you stick to it!
Make sure you don’t set your goals to unrealistic; i.e. that you will lose 50 lbs or that you will do 100 pull ups in the first week or two. It’s not going to happen unless your in incredible shape to start.

You know when I started I could hardly do 2 pull ups – Now in week 6 I can do 10-15 depending on which move.

So stick to it my friends! Your health and fitness dreams are just 90 days away with a lifetime to live!

If you are wondering, does p90x work? I can tell you first hand that it DOES but you must show up and follow the plan to the best of your ability. If you cannot commit to fitness and nutrition then it won’t work. If you CAN commit and you are ready to change your life, buy p90x and start immediately!

I may not be able to breath out my nose but I can still Bring it!

I completed Day 37 of my P90X journey this afternoon – My workout was Plyometrics. My heart rate stayed at a consistent 160-165bpm throughout the workout and everything felt pretty good or at least at good as it could for me being sick. I completed each set though I stumbled a little during the jump squats. I’m a little sore from Chest, Shoulders, Triceps plus the cold has been throwing me off.

I didn’t go into the workout with as much ambition and stamina as usual due to my cold, but the key factor is that I brought it never-the-less. There are some days that WILL Be harder than others – Bring whatever you can and you will get results. Don’t make excuses, stay accountable, and stay driven!

You have a long term goal here – Long term goals take time to achieve.

I could easily just say, “I have a cold and therefore I am going to take the day off” but I didn’t! Do what you can when you can, if you feel 150% then bring 160%, if you feel 75% then bring 85%. Do what you can – Just don’t give up!

I’ve been there before, wanting something but not actually being ready to accept what I had to do to get it. We all get there at some point in our lives, it doesn’t matter who you are. What does matter is that you put that behind you, accept what it is that you have to do and do it, regardless!

P90X Reviews – Feel the burn!

I have just completed Ab Ripper X as well as Chest/Shoulders/Triceps – What a rush. My cold didn’t hold me back! I may not be able to breath out my nose but that doesn’t stop me from Bringing it! Keep that in mind for yourself – There is no good excuse unless you’re otherwise injured or deathly ill. Don’t let a little something get in your way towards Success!

I did a quick video update to compliment this post – Without further delay:

P.S.

I thought it would be good to add a little note. I was just thinking the other day about how crazy it was for me to finish Ab Ripper X AND a full P90X workout DVD in one day. It didn’t matter how much time in between, that crap use to kill me! Now on week 6 it’s a walk in the park – I wanted to leave you with this thought.

Keep going, it only gets easier – What you couldn’t do in Week 1 and Week 2 will be cake in Week 4 and Week 5. I just can’t imagine week 12+!

Keep Pushing Play

I’m feeling a little under the weather.

Sadly I have come down with a cold, so far my sinuses have all but closed off and my throat has been rather sore. It all came on out of nowhere – I went to bed Sunday night feeling fine, woke up around 3 am randomly and noticed my throat was pretty sore, from that point on it’s been settling in.

“No Stretch X for me”

With that said I want to let you know that even though I had high hopes of completing P90X Stretch X I did not do it. I decided a day of rest would benefit me much more. My recovery time has been longer since I have come down sick, my energy levels just plain suck, and my motivation is teetering on the edge.

I will not give in though, today’s p90x workout is Ab X plus Shoulders & Arms – I think it will feel great to complete these workouts! I know I won’t have 110% to bring but I am going to bring all that I have. I will do my best to forget how I feel and put myself in the moment of how I Want to feel!

Do what you can – Bring what you can – Just do it!

I will be updating in a couple hours after I complete my workouts – I have to wait another hour or so as I ate not to long ago. I will be including a video blog update and also a new video project I am working on to incorporate my P90X and Marketing efforts into one.

I want to give a quick preview of what you can expect from my new project!

• Find ways to lose weight and mix up your new diet!
• Learn a new healthy meal or recipe
• Gain value in your personal and business development
• Learn about marketing news, strategies, and resources
• etc.

Here Is A Quick Way To Add A Lot More Protein To Your Diet If You Feel You Don’t Get Enough From Your Regular Meals!

I’ve made a short video giving you ideas of what to do! I did something similar to this 6 years ago when I was training resistance hard core. I weighed 165lbs and was pressing 6-8 reps of 200lbs, not bad eh? I’m not bragging but just telling you that I speak from experience. I went from 140lbs to 165lbs in 10 weeks – started pressing at 135lbs and ended at 200lbs. I’ve been lazy over the years and wasted away but P90X is really my motivation to get back to that shape!

After 5 weeks I have no doubt in my mind that P90X Will Give Results!

Check out this video to get some great ideas! (keep in mind though I mention Soy I now no longer use it! I use Almond milk)
