So Thanksgiving fell right in the middle of Week 7 of my P90X Challenge, and while I didn’t miss a workout, it was rough to get them in. The hardest day was probably the day after Thanksgiving, when all I wanted to do was lay around and digest my food. Still, I didn’t travel anywhere, had no alcohol, and was in bed early because I had to work the next morning, so my holiday wasn’t too much of a struggle.
I can only imagine how those who have to travel are able to fit it all in. When I am out of my element, or away from home, I have to sneak in workouts however I can, which usually means running and body weight exercises because they take the least amount of equipment. Aside from the issue of a TV and DVD player while on the road, P90X, no matter where you are in the program, is completely mobile–all you need is your Fitness Manual and a resistance band, which takes up no more room in a suitcase than an extra pair of undies would.
There really are no excuses with this program. 90 days is a long time, but don’t look down the road at big events and let them push you off. Next week is recovery week, and then I enter the last phase, which will have me completing P90X around the end of the year. Even with a move, Christmas and New Year’s coming up, I am confident that the hustle and bustle of the holidays won’t get in the way of my workouts.
Have you missed anything?
