Re: Gym Members

I was extremely religious in doing P90X, and I saw awesome results! But, it is one thing that you guys hit on. It's such an intense workout, that if you have been living a life of "sin" as a couch potato - burger in one hand, cold beer in the other, then suddenly shocking your body into doing something like P90X right away might cause more harm than good. I think what I am learning is if I am to get myself back into the exercise routine that I used to do, I need to start off with something to ease myself into. Such as getting on the treadmill and at least walking a few miles, or a light jog for a mile, even if it's just for 15 minutes or so. And certainly, diet is very important. I love diet drinks, I love beer, I love a couple of glasses of wine, but I realize you just can't be very successful with your weight loss unless you make a conscious effort in drinking more water and less of the other. Oh, and sweet tea is my kryptonite!
