P90X: Why?

The Why

The question in many individual's minds is why would you put yourself through this torment called P90X? The answer is simple and falls into three categories:

1. It is the quickest way you know of to get the body you have always wanted.

People can workout casually over the course of a year and achieve the same results or they can 'bumrush' their physical fitness with a hardcore workout program structured and designed with a promise of results within 90 days. The ability to achieve the same results that a year of consistent effort would produce is an enticement that not many can forgo.

2. The Challenge, structure, and design of the program.

Some do not know where to begin when trying to get in shape. For those people, in walks P90X, a do it all program that teaches you how to stay motivated and dedicated to your goal of getting fit. It is simple, follow the program, get the results. Yes, it is hard, but it takes the guess work out of such things as, "Is what I am doing going to get me the desired results?" The answer from the P90X box sitting in front of you would be, "Yes, it is... now BRING IT!"

3. Needing a sense of accomplishment.

There are individuals who seek a need for feeling accomplished. These individuals often master their current undertaking finding themselves with no more options for accomplishment. I have met several of these individuals at the gym. They are the men and women who seem to always be doing the same weight on bench press, they never seem to improve. They are plateaued.

P90X is designed in such a way that there is no muscle plateau. It is a good 'break' from the monotony of the gym to try something new, something exciting, something that will get you past the plateau you have been experiencing for the past 3 months. Often these individuals are wondering why they are not getting any stronger, bigger, faster. You need to change the direction of your workouts if you start experiencing any such lingering questions.

Based on these three categories, you can describe most individuals that come to P90X. They come to P90X in search of higher ground. A refuge from the daily monotony of life in order to improve physically and mentally. This is the playground they choose to build their sandcastle. It is tough, the sand is hot and burns with every move, but in the end the sandcastle built is the best they have ever accomplished.

I ask you, "Why P90X?"
