P90x at the gym

It’s always funny when you’re a newbie at the gym and some gym rat attemps to impress you by doing one curl with a heavier weight than you. Buddy, one curl does not impress me and keep in mind, you were at the same stage as I am a few months/years ago…people forget too quickly…it’s sad and unfortunate but that’s the way life goes.

For those starting at a gym whether it’s p90x or something else, don’t let some gym rat intimidate you. Just focus on your own game and great results will come. When I was younger I was easily intimidated but no more if someone wants to show off in front of me, good for them, I have nothing to prove to anyone else but to myself.

I just started training again (after 3 months off…dont aks) and brought P90X to the gym. I play it on my iPod video and it’s great!!!! I get more motivation training at the gym vs training at home.

On that note, have a great day everyone and keep on pushing play!!’

Its hard to get back into it

Man it’s hard to get back into training once you’ve taken a break from it. I stopped training at the end of July, originally just for 2 weeks since I was on vacation….I haven’t really done any training since then!!! Why? Because it’s so easy to stop and so hard to get back into it. You start finding all kinds of excuses not to train anymore. The wordt part is that I LOVED the way I felt and looked while I was training!!! Why is it so hard to get back into it then? I hate myself for not training anymore but at the same time I feel like it’s too much effort. Weird especially that I know that once I get back into it I’ll be ok….the mind is a very powerful thing and you need to train it also.

Everyday I make excuses just so I don’t train: I’m too tired, it’s too hot, too cold, too hungry….I’ve got to stop making excuses and kick my ass back into shape!!!!

Everyone can do it. It only takes a little bit of motivation….

Comments about P90X

I have recently read some pretty negative comments about P90X and couldn’t believe how much some people can complain!!! I have personally been training with the P90X system since February 2009 and I haven’t found anything negative about it and really do not think that it’s a scam. P90X is really an amazing training program and all that I can say to all the haters and complainers is that they are just too lazy to train.

I used to train in a gym before and the time I was wasting was unbelievable!!! It would take me a lot more time to finish off my routine because you have to wait for a machine or for accessories (I was going to one of the big chains gyms in Montreal, Canada).

You also get the wanna be gym rats who spend more time talking on their cell phones than lifting weights. What is that all about? You’re at the gym, lose the cell phone and push some iron my friend, you can chat with your buddies after.

Have a great Friday every one!

P90X round 2

I have completed round one of P90X about 2 weeks ago, after a well deserved recovery week, I am back and loving it even more.

I have achieved nice results in my first round of P90X but failed my abs by not focusing on them. Round 2 is a totally different story, I feel a lot stronger, more motivated to train and I really enjoy my sessions. It’s such a great feeling when you’ve completed your set for the day, you got sweat dripping off of you and you look at yourself in the mirror and discover how much more ripped,bulky you look. These are results of an amazing strength training program: P90X!!!!!!!!!

I am now dedicated to Ab ripper x 3 times per week along with the rest of the exercised and am still doing my best at eating healthy.

I have also decided to stop using resistance bands and moved on to a pull up bar. Now, pull-ups are extremely difficult for me so I am using a chair to give myself that extra boost and I can already feel the difference in my P90X transformation. To those who think that pull ups are impossible or too difficult, just stick with it and don’t get discouraged, it’s always a work in progress and over time, you will see your progress as long as you keep on pushing and as long as you stay positive.

Like Tony Horton said: do your best, forget the rest.

I am also very grateful to have an amazing coach who is always available to answer my questions by email or through facebook: Jimmy Nelson so please visit his site: www.2620crew.com

I honestly think that Jimmy is a machine because he is always, ALWAYS training and he has achieved amazing results and looking at his before and after pictures motivates me to get the results he got.

So, to all you P90X fans or future P90X trainees keep on pushing and if you have any questions, contact your coach or ask to be assigned to my coach Jimmy Nelson. You can request for him to become your coach on his website www.2620crew.com

If reading this post helps you continue training or motivates you to pick up a copy of P90X or any other beachbody product, then my job is done and I am happy that I was able to help.

My girlfriend (please visit her website if you don’t believe me but watch out for the pictures) has also decided to join me on this amazing trip and I am very proud of her especially considering that last year, in August, she had a very serious knee injury that required extensive surgery for 8 hours. She completely tore her ACL, PCL, MCL as well as flipped her tibia.  After 6 months of daily physio she can walk normally but has problems bending her knee and will never be able to run again.

My own injury in 2005 is nowhere near the seriousness of hers, I only shattered my elbow and cannot extend is completely anymore (missing about 20 degrees) and I can do clap pushups without problems.

Now if that doesn’t convince you to purchase the P90X program, I don’t know what will!!!!

Keep on pushing and good luck!!!!!
