One complaint I hear from folks about P90x and the other Beachbody fitness programs is “it’s boring to work out alone”. Well, I agree – it can be lonely when you’re all alone without anyone to encourage you. It’s hard when it’s just you and a DVD stuck in an empty hallway at 6am in the morning. If you can relate to this and want to break out of it, have you ever considered getting a partner, starting a get-together, or joining a “fit club”? My wife and I did P90x together and it was great. True, it was hard many mornings to get up and push play, but it was also very rewarding to see physical results together, have similar nutritional goals, and to model togetherness and exercise for our 3-year old. Here’s another idea - how about just converting those DVD’s to audio on your mp3 player and doing the workouts at a gym? You really don’t need the video after you’ve memorized the programs. And many areas offer “fit clubs” – this is usually a free or low-cost event at a church, school, or gym hosted by a Beachbody coach for the purpose of introducing people to Beachbody programs and as a social mixer. If you have any other ideas to mix it up and avoid the solitary feel of “home-fitness” program, please share it. I feel great after a YogaX workout with my wife this morning – thanks honey! And I hope that all of you can also find good ways to share your fitness journey with others.
