This year I decided to be more disciplined in the area of personal fitness. At the outset of the year, my goal was to take up running and ultimately compete in a half marathon. This is still on the goal list. I began training with Andrew Conard and Jeff Clinger and competed in a 10k as recently as early May. At that point, unfortunately, my right leg was injured, and I’m probably at about 95%.
As summer began to approach I decided that I would take the P90X challenge. P90X is a 90 day fitness program that comes complete with a 13 DVD home workout set and a dietary guide. My wife, Molly, has helped me tremendously with planning meals and making sure that I eat right. I started the program last Monday, knowing that my leg was not at 100% health, but close, and felt confident that I could begin training. The stuff I am doing in these workout is not as high impact as running 6+ miles, which is where I was before having to allow my leg to mend.
Thus far I’m really pleased with the P90X program. The food is great, the workouts are intense, and I’m seeing results. I haven’t decided yet if I will be posting my 30, 60, and 90 day results photos, or if I will compile a video, or do none of the above, but I would appreciate the support of my community and encouragement from each of you. For the past five years my weight has fluctuated between 200 and 215 pounds, and I would like to drop that down to be consistently between 190 and 200.
Wish me luck! I’m on day 9, with 81 more to go!
Ben! My best friend did P90X this last semester (I did some, but not the full 90 days) and it worked great! Good luck with it!
I did p90x two times. 180 days. I am beautiful.
