p90x: Day 3

On a forum there was the question "What are things that are scams that actually work?

p90x was one of them.

It seemed like a solid program during the late-night infomercials (which was already a plus since most of them sound completely bogus), but as with all the fat-loss exercise programs, I assumed it was too good to be true and that most their 'before/after' photos were from google images.

Then my PE professor at Emory vouched for its nutrition plan. They had Emory faculty look over it and it was sound. Nothing dangerous, nothing ridiculous. Just solid eating habits.

Overhearing the conversation, a couple students talked about its success for them.

Dang it, I guess I'll give it a shot.

I've never been visibly overweight or chubby (unless you count 5th grade, in which I still had all my baby fat) but then again I've never been able to cross the line into 'amazing fit'. Chinese just weren't built for six-pack abs. My resting endurance level (say my endurance after not having exercised for a month or so) is terrible. If I ever stopped exercising, it just plops. I've tried may strategies to get the athlete's build to no avail. So I'm giving p90x a shot.

I forgot to take a before picture, but I guess I'll do that soon. And I'll only post it if the after picture is that much better. Ha.

Oh and after the first three days. I hurt. A lot. Feels great though!
