So after some time doing pilates and using my inherited soloflex I was feeling like I needed something that was a bit more challenging.
Before I continue on here let me make a disclaimer. I am not a team Beachbody coach. I have no financial motivation to promote any of their products (not that there is anything wrong with that ...).
One Saturday morning I was watching some more infomercials and discovered P90X by Beachbody and Tony Horton. I was intrigued. While I had been working out pretty regularly and always felt better when I did, I wanted more results. The infomercial promised faster results by using muscle confusion along with challenging workouts. Unfortunately the time required to do the average P90X workout (1 -1.5 hours) would require me to reschedule my life. I had P90X sitting in a box for about 3 months before I was able to rearrange my schedule so that I had the time to do it. At the time I commuted to work by public transit which took 1 hour and 40 minutes door to door. I needed to get some of that time back to dedicate to working out. I manged to arrange for a parking pass through my employer. I already had flexible work hours which allows me to avoid rush hour. By switching from public transit to driving I manged to cut my one way commute time to approximately 50 minutes. I also no longer needed to arrange my time around subway and train schedules. This allows me to commute and have time to workout before dinner. This schedule has worked well for me ever since. Honestly I am not 100% sure exactly how long ago this was. As best as I can remember it would be about 7 years ago when I started doing P90X.
Since getting P90X I have purchased some other Beachbody programs like 10 Minute Trainer, Insanity, P90X2 and Body Beast.
