Getting Fit – Is It Really As Easy As Just Showing Up?
Getting Fit – Is It Really As Easy As Just Showing Up?
Sep 4th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary
My personal count down to start P90x is almost up. I’ll be starting in 3 days. But while I wait, I’m wondering about getting fit. I mean is it really as easy as just showing up?
I decided to go with P90x for a number of reasons. First, it seems to be a very comprehensive program with 12 DVD workouts. And I don’t need to do any thinking, I’m given a schedule which outlines day by day what workout to do. And it gets mixed up from time to time which I like. There is a big focus on eating well also. For an intense, muscle building program like P90x you need a lot of protein and, if you need to lose fat, reduce your starchy carb intake. I think with a focus on meal composition and portion control, fat can be cut while muscle is built.
But with all this, I believe that there needs to be a bit more required than just showing up for the workouts. I think you need to commit. The P90x advertisements have a ‘Bring It’ slogan which I perceive is the call to give it your all.
So maybe you need to do more than just show up. But with a proven program planned out for you, is commitment really that much to ask? I don’t think so.
Wow, what a lengthy and in depth article but full of useful information
