P90X: Day 60
It’s really hard for me to believe that I am here … Day 60 … Holy cow!
Three months ago if you had asked me if I ever saw myself working out every day, I would have said “NO WAY!” Two and a half months ago, I started searching online for advice about working out at home. I figured I could do some crunches, push-ups, chair dips, and maybe get one set of dumbbells for curls.
Sometime last year, a friend was thinking about getting P90X and I checked it out briefly; but the time wasn’t right. I forgot all about it until I started coming across it during my searches. It seemed pretty good. Then I saw the Infomercial. Yup. Sold. I went online and ordered the program. It arrived in time for me to start on the first Monday of May (May 3). Now here I am two months later with a new found love for fitness, nutrition and working out.
I went into today’s workout pretty sore from the past few days; I’ve been pushing myself a little harder now that I’ve gained some strength and can actually do all the moves. So I wasn’t sure how good the workout would be but I was not going to miss day 60! And today was Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X, one of my most challenging days.
Once I got going, I actually surprised myself. I ended up doing more pull-ups today than any previous workout and I burned 950 calories. It felt great. Plus, I was so pumped that the endorphins flowed and the soreness faded. A GREAT day 60 workout. (I hope to update pictures this weekend)
Now I’m on the home stretch for round 1 of P90X. I can’t see myself stopping anytime soon. This is a life changing program and I can’t thank Tony Horton and Beachbody enough for creating this amazing program and giving me the tools and support I need to succeed.
I am so proud of myself!
