Will and determination. These are the two words that you will fight with the most during P90x. Both will be tested, but when you succeed (sorry, there is no if, you WILL) you will come to a place both physically and mentally that you didn?t know was possible for your own self.
After 3 months of grueling workouts and a very large focus on my nutrition, I took the day off yesterday to relax some and indulge in some foods that I hadn?t touched in that timeframe. This morning I realized and woke up that I had done ?it? and had achieved ?it?.
No, I wasn?t on the toilet or throwing up what I had eaten. No, I didn?t wake up with a craving for more. I woke up with a ?big deal? attitude towards those foods. Yeah, they tasted good, but for the minute or so that I would chew each bite. Afterwards I felt no satisfaction from the foods and woke up wanting what is now my regular nutritional norm. I still plan to get a cheeseburger and some beers tonight or tomorrow, but that will end anything that I wanted to get my hands on for the past 90 days.
Along with waking up and knowing that I?m in a new phase of my live from a nutritional stance, I also did so with the knowledge that I am mentally as well. I can?t wait to begin my next round of P90x on Monday, and it?s in large part because of where my will and determination are now.
During my last weeks of P90x, I hit a point during one of the Kenpo workouts where I recognized ?it? as well. After each set I was jogging and doing jumping jacks. Not at breaks, in between sets. I would do each set harder than any of the guys combined on the video and was able to push harder than I knew that I could. Halfway through my body felt a little fatigued, but as the thought of fatigue entered my mind, it exited with a concentration on what I needed to do and needing to push as hard as possible on every set. This mental state can be largely attributed to the will and determination that P90x builds in you.
If you want to change your life for the better, P90x is a great place to start.
