\"\"<\/a>P90X: The Conclusion!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 12 of P90X. \u00a0I was so burned out it was ridiculous. \u00a0I didn’t want to see Tony anymore, I didn’t want to do another pushup, pullup…. well, you get the point. \u00a0I was over it by the end. \u00a0I was ecstatic to see the end of this workout! (There is a Week 13 recovery but I was working out with a client so I’m taking this week easy instead.)<\/p>\n

Overall, I think this is a great workout for those who are self-motivated and enjoy working out at home. \u00a0It is not a workout for beginners but does allow you to push yourself as hard as possible. Like everything, you get out of it what you put into it. \u00a0Diet is also a huge factor. \u00a0I eat healthy but was so hungry from burning all these calories, that I was eating too many ‘extra’ granola bars, yogurt and dry cereal. \u00a0These calories add up and kept me from seeing crazy results.<\/p>\n

Do I feel stronger<\/strong>? \u00a0Yes. My upper body hasn’t been this strong since I was a gymnast.<\/p>\n

Is my cardio better?<\/strong> Yes, but only after I added my own jogging, stairmill and elliptical. \u00a0The cardio workouts just didn’t give me a hard enough workout. \u00a0I can kick butt in a kickboxing class and although I enjoyed Kenpo X and thought I was working as hard as I could, my heart rate was always too low.<\/p>\n

Am I ripped up?<\/strong> No. But I’m positive it’s my fault because of diet. \u00a0I knew I needed to add more protein and fiber to my diet in order to keep from being hungry, but I was just never able to make the transition. I’m on the move a lot, which isn’t an excuse, but it was hard enough to fit in the time for P90X (60-90 minutes EVERY day), let alone have the energy to fix my already healthy diet.<\/p>\n

Did this workout bore me?<\/strong> Yes. I have the attention span of a gnat. However, I feared this would happen so once I knew the workouts, I took them to the gym and was happy with the outcome. \u00a0Plus, I had a bigger selection of weights so I could really push myself. \u00a0Unfortunately, once I figured out this solution, I was only in town for 2 weeks of the rest of the workout!<\/p>\n
