Motivation


Regardless of the exercise program/routine, motivation is a major factor in sticking with that program. My ride on the P90X train has been good, bad, great, terrible, smooth, bumpy etc all at the same time. I could not have made it to this point without the proper level of motivation.

Motivation comes in several different flavors. Some are motivated by pictures of themselves, some are motivated by their children (or the thought of having children), some are motivated by others. In my case, I am motivated by all of the above.

It is my motivation by others that this post is dedicated to. There are many people who have motivated on my journey thus far. These people have never met me, I have never met them. In fact, they probably don’t even know that I exist; which is okay. To keep my motivation high (and to keep an eye on others progress) I continually surf the net reading others P90X blogs and looking at YouTube videos. I would like to give a shout-out and thank you to the following people who have kept me going:

Fatlossblogger
Fatlossblogger is truly motivating. He has posted several pictures and posts daily about his journey. He and I started with almost identical body structures which added motivation. His results are awesome.

LaMarrpheus
LaMarrpheus has posted numerous videos on YouTube documenting his progress. His videos are motivational and inspirational as he takes time in each video to detail how he felt mentally in the previous week. To me, this is great insight as to what I can expect.

AbetterMeP90X
AbetterMeP90X is the guy that pushed me over the edge to get started on the program. When I first thought about starting this program, I did a ton of research and most of it lead to this gentleman. His videos are great, informative and funny. All of the information you want to know about the program can be found in these videos.

Perry Tinsley
I would be doing Mr. Tinsley an injustice if I tried to explain his story and success. Please check his site out to learn about his amazing success. Not only does he have a ton of information on his site, but he also broadcasts a great Podcast.

FitnessDestinantions
Aaron has created an amazing site packed with information, techniques, tips and motivation. Everything you want to know about P90X is on his site.

These are great sources of P90X information and more importantly, the motivation you’ll need to complete the 90 days! Thanks guys, you have helped me stay on course.
