Is P90X Too Hard for Beginners?
Post thumbnailPeople are attracted to the image of workout systems like P90X.
Its hardcore, no compromises approach appeals to the aspirations in everyone who yearns for a fit body. It causes even the toned, anatomically perfect people on screen to break a serious sweat, so it must be one of the most effective options. And who doesn’t want fast results?
The reality is often what we perceive we need and what we actually need are two very different things.
Claims that anyone can do P90X and that one simply needs to tough it out isn’t typically helpful motivation. In fact, it’s more likely to cause someone to quit than empower them if they aren’t ready for it.
Naturally, any workout should challenge you but if you feel like you’re at the foot of Mt. Everest when you pop in the P90X DVD something is wrong.
