P90X

Add Comment

BigWyvern is gone in case you didn’t notice… although it would be understandable if you all thought LittleWyvern was basically gone too.

I’m still a tubby piece of garbage, but I didn’t really need a separate website just to prove it though. Having grown increasingly disinterested with my cycle of boring lifting routines I went ahead and canceled my gym membership and decided to take a different approach. Those of you who follow me on Twitter (may) know that today is Day 12 of P90X. A lot of you are probably already somewhat familiar with the program, and those that aren’t can always look into it themselves right here. In a nutshell, P90X is an intense 90-Day DVD-based workout program that alternates weight lifting with various cardio/flexibility training including plyometrics, yoga, and kenpo.

I workout for 60-90 minutes at home six days a week, and so far every single day has been brutal. My goal isn’t so much about a result, but rather to never miss a workout and try my hardest during each session. If I can do that, then the results will come. And if I can manage my eating habits even just a little bit better (higher protein, lower carb) I’d be stunned if I didn’t end up in significantly better shape at the end of the ninety days.

I took a series of “before” photos, but you can be sure that they will never see the light of day until the man in those photos no longer even closely resembles the one in the mirror.

Now that I am doing all my workouts at home I called into 24-Hour Fitness to cancel my membership. Rather than lose a customer the lady offered me a free personal training session if I would reconsider. I said no. Not ready to give up, she then offered me two free months. Obviously I said yes. After two months I can always just call in and cancel it again – “fo realz” – but until then… free gym membership! (I used to do this trick with Netflix from time to time – call in to cancel and end up with a few months free – but it can be a risky game to play if you don’t actually want to cancel anything.)

Nobody Cares Yet.
