When I finished my last week 3 workout, I felt great. I really haven’t felt this way in quite some time. I now have the ablility to do all of the exercises and complete them, which is astonishing to me. So much progress has been made in three weeks, which is the motivating factor in continuing. I can’t wait to see what its like at the end of 90 days.
Week 3 features the same exercises/routines as the first two weeks, so I won’t go into detail on those. However, I did substitute teh cardio days for cardio at my gym with exception to Plyo X (which I love). Yoga X, Kenpo X and Stretch X days were all spent on the eliptical machine at the gym.
I have not noticed a significant weight loss, but my clothes are fitting much better/looser. Its a really good feeling to put on clothes and have them fit like they should. I have a t-shirt that is a little snug for me, so I converted it into my “goal clothes”. If I can wear that shirt comfortably, then I know that I have lost the weight that I wanted to.
I really encourage everyone to do three things:
1) Take supplements everyday! This includes multivitamin, cleansing, Wu-Yi Tea, recovery drinks (I like chocolate milk) and any other supplements you need to help in your journey.
2) Read, read, read and read some more. There is so much health related knowledge out there; the more you have the better off you will be. Not only will you gain that knowledge, but it will help keep you motivated and “in the game”. Great articles that are updated multiple times a day can be found here.
3) Lastly, I recommend reading about other people on P90X. Learn their struggles and how they overcame them. I would bet that many of us have the same issues. Reading other people’s journeys and blogs really keeps the motivation level high. The results are tremendous and its something that we all can accomplish.
I think a lot of people give up in week 1 because they don’t feel like they can do it or that it really won’t get them in shape. If you can make it through week 3, I promise you will feel better, look better and will want to complete your journey!
