My Intro to P90X

So I'm sure that all of you have heard of P90X, another workout program that guarantees ridiculously amazing results. I've always had a curiosity about it, and seeing as how my parents had P90 (the version before P90X) and it was... okay, I decided to research the P90X challenge.

Since I graduated from college, my workout/dietary habits have been well, lackluster to say the least. I was already getting sick of working out at the Student Activity Center (SAC) for several reasons: 1) there were too many people there 2) students took awful care of equipment 3) equipment was frequently malfunctioning because of this poor care and yadda yadda. The only perks to working out there were it's cost (free to students during the school year) and well, there's a ton of eye candy floating about, and I'm not opposed to good lookin' college gals.

Now I've been working out pretty consistently for the past 7 years or so, and I've tried several workout types from basic weightlifting, aerobic workouts, yoga, martial art based cardio, running (various forms of running), and so on. Because of this experience, I have developed a rather snooty attitude towards workout programs advertised on t.v. because I simply don't believe them. When I stick to workout programs I conjure myself, I see great results.

However, I was beginning to get bored with my workouts (especially because they consisted of 4 to 6 miles of running a pop, and I HATE running) and it was getting harder for me to feel motivated to do them, hence the two month period this year of crappy diet + little exercise. That's where P90X comes into the picture.

I lost the desire to get big long ago, after a rigorous four month workout plan built me up 30 pounds and put me at 210 lbs, pretty big for a guy only 5'11" right? I wasn't as happy being that big however, because my clothes stopped fitting me well and it became difficult for me to find ones that did.

P90X is hopefully the workout plan I've been looking for to get me ripped. That's all I've wanted for the past few years, and to some degree I've been successful. However, I've never been completely happy with my body and damnit, I want at six pack.

So I started the P90X journey last week and I'm currently on day 8 of 90. I'll keep this blog updated with my progress as I go and hopefully I'll have awesome results pics to show!!!

Do your best, and forget the rest!
