P90X day 4

I haven't posted in a long time, and I've been thinking about a lot of things fitness, so this is likely to be a fairly long ramble.

First off, I'm on day 4 of my first time doing P90X, and so far I'm loving the program. It's incredibly challenging, but really set up so that you can go at your own pace. Tony is constantly reminding his audience to make sure they have the right weight so that they can maintain proper form, and to feel free to push pause if their body needs to take a break. I like how much he encourages people to listen to their own body. No workout program is going to be 100% perfect for any one individuals body, and he understands that and has built it into his system.

Second, the way the program is layed out so far is fabulous. After 3 days of fairly intense working out, I was more than happy when I realized that I have 1 1/2 hours of yoga tonight. It just sounds like something that my body wants and needs right now. Yoga, while physically intensive on your body, is also incredibly relaxing and therapeutic for it. I really think that after doing it tonight I'll have a much easier time getting through the rest of the week of workouts.

Third, Tony is constantly cracking me up! It's easy to forget how hard your body is working when you're busy laughing at the antics of your 'trainer'. And I really appreciate that he has people of all body types in there. You've got skinny dancer girls, big booty girls, lean men, and really built men. It's a great variety that helps me as a viewer to feel like I can achieve the body type of at least someone on the workouts.
