4 years ago I was told I had a serious lower back problem. I was told by the Doctor that it would be “best” not to run or do heavy exercise. I read and studied a lot of materials and took up a martial art to build a strong pillar of spirit and discipline. I noticed the people that inspired me at the Dojo had these fantastic builds. I asked them one on one what it was they did to be in that great of shape and the majority recommended P90X. They said that out of the many programs out in the market, that P90X had the most flexible options for people from different walks of life.
What got me excited about doing P90X was that the focus wasn’t primarily on muscle groups, but on building a strong core. Everything I studied and researched indicated that to endure in any kind of physical activity, a strong core is needed. I had my concerns that P90X would be too intense for me. So I promised myself that I would listen to my body and play it safe as I proceeded in the program. I studied all the P90X DVDs and study guides for a month before I became active in the program.
I started seeing results immediately. I could feel the muscles around my spine and in my back working to support it. That underlying feeling of overdoing it started to slip away, though I still keep my head and play it safe. Everyday I’m shocked to find I am able to do things I couldn’t do for years!
I had concerns about the nutrition plan as well. I was concerned that if I ate the dietary recommendations that I might be in dietary trouble. It wasn’t easy at first. My body did react to the change for a little over a week (I was living on carbohydrates). Then like a plane at take off, I felt more and more stability in my body’s digestion. I still play it safe in the food arena too. I also discovered that I like to cook and I often make meals for my wife and she feels better for it too. She is doing her best to keep up with me. She does Turbofit and Body Gospel whenever she can. My 6 year old discovered she likes some of the foods too.
So my recommendations would be to find a BeachBody program that you might feel passionate about doing. Study it, learn it, understand what you are doing and most importantly, why you want to do it. Seriously consider what you think your body can handle. Plan your workout schedule around your life not the other way around (at least not yet) so you can enjoy doing it. Find somewhere to work out so you won’t be disturbed.
Do your best and forget the rest! You'll make it!serious
