P90X Workout

This is day 17 of my 90 day workout with P90X. It truly is an extreme workout and some say is ok for beginners. Well, as a beginner, I'd say that is partially correct...but barely. The first day I thought the warm up would kill me....not really but it seemed to last forever. During the actual work out I thought I was dying all the way through it and I only did.....maybe.....10% of what they did. I tried to follow directions and keep quality over quantity. The hardest part was to stay warmed up while they finished their reps.

As the days went by, I started to get better and to follow closer. I still can't do all the reps they do but I can at least modify when I need to and continue on. It pushes you and you have to stay motivated every day to continue. It certainly is very painful the first few days but after day four I was doing ok. I truly recommend the recovery drinks after each workout. This should help with the soreness. I usually have the Gumby affect when I'm done, but this is a good sign you are working it, but not to sore. I've also started drinking Shakeology to see if it provides the energy that it claims. I certainly hope so. The chocolate flavor is really great and one drink a day replaces one full meal and has tons of the nutrients you get and need daily. I really hate vegatables so whether it provides me the added energy or not I will continue to drink it because it tastes good and it gives me the goodies from eating veggies, which means I don't have to eat them.

So in conclusion, do I recommend P90X for beginners? I'd say probably not. I would start with the Power 90 work out and then progress up to the P90X. This will help you keep up and better utilize the 90 days when you get to P90X. But any workout is better than no workout at all....keep pushing play and keep moving. BRING IT!
