Maybe this post should actually be titled "Why didn't I start this program sooner?"
The month flew by. I was surprised when I realized that I was about to start my second block. In this program, each month the routine changes. This helps to keep your muscles guessing so that you don't get too used to the exercises.
I always tell my clients that they NEED to take a before picture. I'm about to show you why...
The picture on the left was my before shot. The one on the right was taken on Saturday. When I took the picture my first thought was "Damn it! Nothing has changed!" but holy cow, was I wrong! I've lost 5 1/2 inches and my core is so much stronger! The crazy part is that there is only a 1.5 pound difference between the two shots. If I was only looking at the scale, I would have given up. Also, if I had only taken the second picture, I would have been so frustrated! So, always remember to do this step! It sounds silly but this is huge and it's what got me out of bed this morning!
I also would like to add that I really am enjoying the p90x3 program. I tried the original p90x and I hated it! The workouts were too long, I was about to die half way through, and I wanted to jump through the screen and kill Tony Horton. The new program is only 30 minutes a day. You wouldn't think that you could accomplish much in that amount of time, but you obviously can. Oh and Tony has seemed to calm down in his old age (he is in his early 50s!!).
I can't wait to see what the next two months bring!
