Making it through P90X

At a charity event I attended last weekend, I was talking to a very nice girl who asked me about my business with Beachbody. When I mentioned that P90X was one of our programs, she said…
“Oh! P90X! My husband was doing that! He got to about day 45 and then stopped. And he was doing so well!”
I hear this often, and in fact, I’ve experienced it for myself. I must have started and stopped P90X at least 3 or 4 times. On the other hand, I’ve also successfully completed the full 90 days.
So, what are the keys that make for a successful 90 days? I’ve given that some thought the past few days.
- Have faith that you will emerge on the other side a better person.
- Either write down your workouts on your calendar, or automatically schedule your workouts in the Team Beachbody WOWY calendar.
- Plan on a time of day that you will do your workouts. Stick to that time as long as it’s working for you. But if you need to make a change, then MAKE IT!
- Have all of the equipment you need ready to go (more on that in a future post).
- If at all possible, make plans to start the program with a loved one. You’ll need the support. You can get additional support from your Beachbody coach.
- Make plans to improve your nutrition. This is a larger part of results than most people realize.
I had been contemplating starting a new round of P90X anyway, so I thought this would be a good time to do it. I decided that I would share my journey through my blog.
Today was day one and the first workouts were Ab Ripper X and Chest and Back. I hope I can lift my arms tomorrow! 
So look for a weekly blog post from me sharing:
- Tips
- Recipe ideas and how they break down for the P90X portion plan.
- My struggles, and how I’m dealing with them.
- My successes (and I hope you’ll celebrate with me)
But I don’t want this to be all about me! I want you to share your journey as well (it doesn’t matter if you are doing a program other than P90X).
With any luck, we’ll all learn a lot and be a LOT healthier! I’m excited to share this journey with you!
Your friend in fitness,
Judy
Hey Judy! I’m so glad you’re doing this. You’re going to do amazing because you are following God’s will through this! I’m so excited to be along on this journey with you. Together were better and together were stronger. We will push each other through to the end. :0)
Thanks Casey!! I know you know this, but I SO value your friendship and support! I will forever be indebted to Beachbody for bringing such wonderful people into my life…even if you DO live 1000’s of miles away! LOL!
And yes, I’m about to do the day 2 workout…the mother of all workouts…plyometrics! I’ll need to lean on God’s strength to pull me through this one because I pushed it in Chest and Back yesterday. S-O-R-E!!!!
Judy, I love this post, this is exactly what I tell all my friends. You are doing a great thing, and it is obviously very inspiring to others, keep inspiring them!!
I love the tip…If at all possible, make plans to start the program with a loved one. Getting an accountability partner in with you sounds like a really great way to go in order to stick to it!
I love your blog Judy! I have to say that this consistency thing is something that I’m still trying to master as well. Good for you for starting the whole 90 days again. I look forward to following your progress! This is definitely something that I love about Beachbody and being a coach such as yourself. We’re right there with people, going through our own transformation with them and we get to share our success with others as well. it’s an awesome team!
Anna, thanks so much! It’s great to be in this together!
Steve, ABSOLUTELY!!! Accountability partners work in every area of life, don’t they?
Veronica, thank you for the compliment! The support within the Beachbody community is really unmatched, isn’t it?
