My First P90X Experience

         P90X is an extreme 90 day exercise plan that pushes you past your physical limits. It also guides you to a healthier life with its nutrition plan.

        About four months ago I found out about P90X through my close relative. He was in the middle of his 90 days and he was ripped. Of course I started to ask questions on how he did it and he explained how P90X worked. He told me that every day you have a new exercise and you could either make foods from the nutrition plan or just eat healthy.

        Before that moment, I was the typical teenage kid. I ate junk food, the only exercise was any school sport or physical education at school. I always wanted to be in great shape. Then I bought P90X.

        Although it is quite expensive with the 12 DVD’s and all the equipment, it is definitley worth its money. The thing with P90X is that you must push yourself and actually do it! In the beginning when I started the program, I honestly wanted to give up. Just go to a cave filled with Snickers bars and spend the rest of my life there. I wasn’t going to do that of course. I couldn’t, I was too determined.

        To be honest at first I was most worried about the nutrition plan. I loved my junk food but, I knew if I wanted to succeed I would have to stop. So I did. For about a month, before I started the program, I did not eat a candy bar, ice-cream scoop, or even a french fry. My parents looked at me as if I wasn’t their son. For my whole life I was on a sugar high, but not anymore! I had started P90X.

        The first two weeks were the worst. After every day my muscles were extremely sore, but I didn’t stop. This continued on for the next month or so. Then school started, then soccer started, and then homework started. I just couldn’t fit P90X into my busy schedule. So I chose to postpone my workout. 

        When I stopped I was feeling amazing. I felt stronger, more energized and most of all I felt good about myself. Ever since I stopped the exercise program, I have been eating healthy. I plan on continuing being healthy for a long time. I am going straight back to P90X after soccer ends, and this time I will complete the 90 day challenge.
