After being so successful with my ability to sneak in a workout as a function of daily activities, I was burdened with thoughts of how to incorporate a heart pumping activity into my routine today. I looked through all of my DVDs, looked through books with workout routines, and thought about just setting a destination to ambulate to and from. The day progressed the best that I was able to do was to prepare some food for dinner. I looked outside and it looked sunny and beautiful, but I just couldn't get my head around embarrassing myself in front of trees, birds, and passersby with how minimal movement could likely bring buckets of sweat. That is when I decided that I had to find something to do in the house.
At first I thought that I would I would make my Wii version of Zumba my best workout companion. The more I thought of that, the more I knew that it would not push me the way that I would like as my fitness increased. Then it hit me.... I was going to dust off my P90X DVDs that had failed me this time last year. After looking at the routine that would be required of me, I was beginning to lose steam. See the standard routine requests that you do what I consider to be a lot more weight lifting then cardio, which is not something that I desire at this point in time. Then I remembered that there is the lean version of the P90X which places more emphasis on cardio. So this is my commitment....I am going to complete and commit to my P90X program. So if I am estimating correctly, this means that I will be done with this program before June is over.
So my blog, is now shifting a bit in my originally perspective because I am going to being by chronicling my P90X adventure. Originally, I was hoping to just voice daily struggles in incorporating exercise into daily activities, but I feel that I need to begin with more of a push down the hill, so here I go. Today I did the Core Synergistics... it was hard, but I am looking forward to building onto where I am starting.
