I wanted to thank you for talking the time to write down everything you have been doing through while on this program. <BR/><BR/>I'm really scared about what I've gotten myself into! I used to be a gymnast but 4 years ago I got really sick and had to quit. In my mind I feel like I should be able to do all this stuff but I know that once I get these DVD's in the mail I'm in for a major butt kicking! Your results are incouraging for me, because you're looking awesome! Take care. hope your shoulder gets better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15500542409570152.post-85477849390768049182007-12-16T17:03:00.000-06:002007-12-16T17:03:00.000-06:00This is a really insightful post. I've been readi...This is a really insightful post. I've been reading around on the internet and seeing people that are actually unhappy about the P90X program. (I know there are always some in every crowd.) For the most part they all had one thing in them that was similar. They hadn't done the workouts as prescribed by the program and had substituted or eliminated whole sessions. The number one omission I ran across other than the diet was Yoga. They took yoga out of the program completely. Now there were various reasons for this. Guys would say it was sappy and women routinely said it wasn't relaxing and too hard. <BR/><BR/>I think you really get at something in this post that a lot of people truly miss. Yoga is about slowing down and becoming aware of your body and your breathing. It is to take you back to a more relaxed and natural state of mind and body. In this way I think the YogaX workout is probably one of the most beneficial in the whole P90X program. But like most P90X work it is intense. <BR/><BR/>But what most people may not understand is yoga is supposed to be intense. It, like martial arts, is a discipline designed to bring you to your edge. The reason for this is because at the edge, where you are not in your comfort zone, is where you will find your truth. If you aren't doing the Yoga in this program, it says more about you than you realize.<BR/><BR/>I had been doing yoga for almost 2 years before P90X so, I already had a pretty good collection of Yoga videos. YogaX is probably my favorite because it is the closest I have to the more advanced Yoga workouts I get when I go to the studio and practice. <BR/><BR/>Yoga gives you so much focus. But it also gives you more control over your muscles, so much more range of motion. Honestly without it I don't think you see the incredible increase in strength and muscle quality that P90X is famous for. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on being able to keep your mind open and change your body so completely. And thank you for sharing your insights and your journey. I know it helped a lot for me to know you were still working at the program when the end got so close and so hard for me.<BR/><BR/>Train well...acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700457140778271786noreply@blogger.com
