I haven't been blogging here in a while because I am using my facebook Like page for updates. I'd love to have you join my page at www.facebook.com/F4Lcoach

So I tried another round of P90X starting in January. I did okay for the first few weeks, but I was still in training for a half marathon on Feb 6th so it became easy to make excuses to skip a P90X workout when I had a long run to do -- expecially the legs workout!

I really injured my piriformis (small butt muscle) during the race and was forced to take a break from running and intense exercise for about three weeks, and then I spent a week in Cancun relaxing. The result: weakened Abs/Core which lead to more back pain and other running injuries. Could I have avoided all that by staying with the P90X upper body and Abs workouts? Probably.

So I had to ask myself why I didn't do that. I know better than that! And the answer is, I don't really like all the P90X workouts. They are too long and I have a hard time staying committed when it takes up an hour or more a day on top of my running and building two businesses. And an hour would be nothing if I really enjoyed the work, but I just don't. After all, I can do an hour of TurboFire with no problem, why not an hour of P90X?

So, I am here to tell you that you need to find the best fit for YOU, not just the workout everyone else is doing. And so, today, I went back to ChaLEAN Extreme so I can get my resistance training in a shorter time. And since I am only running for 5ks at this point, I will mix in TurboFire, RevAbs and TurboJam workouts as I feel the urge.

Find what you like and you are more likely to stick with it!
