P90x Round 1 Wrap-UP

So the last part of my P90x journey didn't end as well as I would have hoped it would have. For the first 2 phases of P90x I was a rock, I didn't miss any workouts and I felt really good. Then a few different things happened and between injuries and apathy my last 30 days were terrible.

But from what I have been able get out of the program. P90x works. My core strength is much better than what I started off with.

But it's not a miracle program. It's a lot of blood and sweat and you can only get out what you put into it. It's asks alot, but it gives back alot too. The infomercial shows you the absolutely best cases that they can muster, but it's not fake. There are some programs like the thighmaster that say use this for 30 days and you'll look like this 6-packed model. That's a load of crap. But with P90x the basics are there. The eating plan, the viscious workouts, the structured program. The basics are all there. I can't say that you will end up like the television commercial, but if you give 100% to the program, the program will not fail you.

However, I didn't give it 100% for the first 60 days. I gave it 85% of the fitness front, but unfortunately I only gave it 60% in the eating. And I really believe that is what prevented me from losing the weight that I wanted to lose.

Overall the program works. Hopefully this next round that I am about to start I will be able to build off the success from my first round and achieve everything I hope for.
