P90x intensity

Last night was MY day one of the extremely popular fitness regime, P90x.

Going in, my physical fitness level is about average. My 110lb body is fit but not toned. For over five years most of my fitness has stemmed from cycling,  yoga and Pilates.

It seems almost everyone I know is starting, in the middle of, or finishing (with plans to start again) the P90x program.  When my karate award winning friend called P90x “intense”, I knew I was going to hurt.

The 90 day intense fitness regime constantly challenges your body. I’m happy it also includes yoga because a workout that challenges the body this much absolutely needs the balance of proper stretching. When I woke up this morning I could feel the remnants of the workout, and boy was that ever amplified when I did my yoga routine.

Many of my friends consider it a lifestyle change and have been able to incorporate it into their busy schedules without regret or resistance.

I’ll do my best to keep it up, but yipes…. I feel like such a wimp. :)
