i must like being told what to do.
ive been on p90x for about 3 weeks now, and i love it. not so much the exercise part of it per se (although it does kick a lot of ass), but more the daily routine.
every day, i pop in a dvd, and tony horton yells at me for about an hour. i dont have to think about whether or not i should be doing cardio vs resistance training, what part of the body i have to work out, etc. i just have to follow the schedule, and mimic (poorly) tonys movements on the dvd. i rest when its a rest day, work out when its a work out day. it has been both the toughest and easiest workout routine ive ever done.
its mainly because i dont really have a passion for working out. i do it because i sit in front of a computer all day. i do it because i need exercise. okay okay, i do it so my mom will hopefully stop calling me a fatty. the point is, it doesnt really matter if im runing, biking, precor-ing… whatever. to me, its all just moving around until i sweat profusely. having someone tell me what to do when i dont really care about doing it is nice.
im goign to try to apply this same routine to my meals – especially lunch. it’ll probably work because i also dont really care what i eat. one summer, i ate nothing but chicken and heads of lettuce. sometimes, when im too busy, ill even forget to eat. thats when this eating schedule will come in handy.
hopefully, if something tells me what to bring for lunch, ill bring it. no more boring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
