Thoughts on P90

Now I know we have only been doing P90X for 4 days, but I can honestly say that I love it.  It has such different routines and it pushes you to the next level so you get that good burn.  I don't know if anyone knows what I'm talking about except for Evan haha.  We have been diligent about the work outs and eating better throughout the day, the no soda for BOTH of us now, along with getting Evan to eat breakfast and a healthy lunch we are making huge strides in the right direction.  Plus with these work outs, you just feel so so much better.  It could be a mental thing, but Evan and I both swear that we are happier in the mornings and look forward to doing the work outs every night.  The Ab work out is AWESOME.  I have never had a work out like this before and it burns and its great.  We even noticed doing the work out for the 3rd time that its already getting easier because our bodies are slowly adjusting.  I would highly suggest these dvds.  But along with these work outs, it's a huge mental decision to not stop.  Of course you are sore and you hurt, but that's apart of working out.  You aren't going to get results by pausing the dvd every minute and taking a minute break.  The whole principle is based off interval training and pushing yourself past the rep you did just 30 seconds ago.  Also once you start pushing this hard, you don't want the french fries or the sweets that I would normally eat as a treat like once a week.   We eat apples and oranges instead as a treat.  It's an all around better lifestyle, plus we are going to do the half marathon April 30th.  The same one I did last year!  It's a great half marathon, super pretty and a fairly mellow run.  Not too many uphills.  It will be Evan's first half marathon and we both are excited to finish it together.  Evan will be dragged down in time by me, but he said he would stick with me, thanks honey! 

Overall, the whole P90X I think is a great idea.  It works different muscles everyday and keeps it new and different so you aren't dreading doing the exact same workout you did the previous day.  I would recommend it for everyone!
