P90X- oh my!

A couple weeks before our beach vacation a box showed up on the porch. This box said Beach Body all over it. I was curious, but since it was addressed to my husband, I put it aside until he got home.

Then the yoga mat showed up.

I won't lie, I was curious. So ignoring the instruction book (like I normally do) I popped in the yoga video and sweated my way through about 40 minutes. I'm bored easily so the next day I did 20 minutes of the yoga and tried out the chest and back DVD.

I know I'm doing the whole thing wrong and that hyped-up instructor dude would yell at me if he knew how I'm bastardizing his program, but I have been doing 20-40 minutes of this stuff a day for the past 2 weeks.

I'm exhausted.

Every muscle in my body has hurt for two weeks.

Muscles I didn't even know I had hurt.

I've also put on five pounds and am really liking the way I look.

But does it have to hurt this bad? And did I mention I'm tired?

  6. Work into it slowly? The hyped-up instructor dude makes me feel like I'm not doing enough!

    I'm cutting it from 60-90 minutes a day to 20-40 minutes because I don't have an hour a day to dedicate to it and because I actually want to be able to move the next day.

  7. I've completed the entire 90 days with P90X and it works.

    I agree that it does hurt and its a "good hurt" if that makes sense.

  8. Oh my goodness. Please don't tell them that I'm a half-a** P90X user. I don't think I'll ever do the whole thing the way it was intended, but I am experiencing significant results with the bits I'm doing.
