Which Workout Program I'm Rocking, and Why I Think You'd Love It!

So, as you have read I have lost a lot of weight in the last two years.  I weigh less NOW than I did BEFORE I got pregnant!  So what's the problem?!  I have "mom body"... my weight is redistributed in all of these funky places, and it lays on me like a wet blanket.  Well, I'm just not OK with that.  I am DETERMINED to change the social definition of "mom body" to SMOKIN' HOT!

I'm really bad at coming up with my own workout regimen and sticking with it!  I mean, awful!  I will come up with this amazing schedule for myself.. run 5 days a week, abs 3 days a week, all the other muscle groups thrown in there somewhere. Yaaaddddaa Yaaaadddaa...
I find I can just never stick with this... so I decided I needed something even more structured.  Something that told you exactly what you needed to do, and when you needed to do it.  

Of course I've seen a million before & after photos and videos of people who have completed P90X (who hasn't???).  I finally decided I wanted to BE one of those people.  

October 15 I STOPPED WANTING and STARTED DOING!

Why do I think YOU will LOVE P90X???

It's doable!
OK, please don't get me wrong! It is HARD! (duh) However, the actual exercises themselves are fairly easy.  They're simple, easy to follow, and you're able to catch on quickly.  
If you've ever been in the military, or law enforcement I think you will especially like them considering it's stuff your body knows, or has programmed somewhere inside of it.  If it's been a while since you've exercised and you don't think your body will remember what to do... take it slow, but KEEP GOING!  I promise, YOU WILL SEE RESULTS... and probably very quickly. 

Tony Horton is silly and fun.  He's slightly cocky, but not to the point where you dislike him for it.  He'll help motivate you and push you through the workout.  Also, he just knows what he's talking about.

The co-instructors look like real people.  Yes, they are beautiful... they are fit, muscular, and sexy, but they DON'T look like porn stars.  I find sometimes that it can be a little off-putting and discouraging when workout video instructors are dolled up and wearing underwear for shorts.  Let's get real here for a minute.  We have busy lives and most of us are either exercising first thing in the morning before we've even brushed our teeth or hair, or you're working out after you've had a long, exhausting day at work.  While sometimes hot people CAN BE motivating, I'm sure at times, it's the last thing you want to look at while you're sweat is rolling onto the ground.

Why don't all P90X workouts include this man?

What I DISLIKE about P90X...

YogaX is super. duper. HARD.  You get through your first 3 days of P90X, and then you realize day 4 is yoga, and you get REALLY EXCITED!  Woo! Yoga!  You're thinking, well this will be nice.  It's not.  Ok, it's not, not nice... but it's a workout!  Don't let the Yoga facade fool you.  

Well... that's about the only thing I don't like about P90x.  

EDIT:

*I forgot to mention time.  The workouts are a little long.  Most workouts are over an hour long plus about 20 minutes for the Ab RipperX.  I believe if you adjust your time you CAN fit it into your schedule.  However... My suggestion is to pick a time when you know you can get it done (wake up earlier and get it done before work, do it on your lunch break if there's time, after work, or during your child's nap time), and DO IT AT THAT TIME!  Considering the length of time of the workouts, if you put it off, you might have a very hard time getting it done later in the day.  This is my personal experience with it though, and we're all different.*

As I get a little further into the program, I will go a little more into my personal experience with it.  

PERSONAL DISCLAIMER:  While I am not where I want to be yet with my physical capabilities, I have been at this for a while.  Exercise is not new to me.  So if you are doing P90X, decide to try it, or any other workout program, don't be discouraged if you struggle with it!  I can promise you, we ALL struggle in the beginning of something new!  Also if you would like more personalized help, send me an email or check out my Beachbody Coach website.

NEXT...

I'll keep you guessing, since I'm not quite sure myself.  Maybe something more personal.
