The First Step...

In my previous blog I talked about the need for a “tester”, a person who would try out fitness programs that are advertised as being the greatest thing on the market and essentially evaluate them. As I said before, I would pick one (P90X) and order the program to begin the experiment. My order arrived earlier today while I was at work. After reading some of the material thus far, the understanding I’ve got is that the individual who has decided to undergo this process (me) will perform the exercises six days out of the week with the seventh day reserved for rest. It is somewhat similar to the creation of the world where after working hard all week the lord was able to rest on his last day. The program comes with a meal plan than lays out nutrients and their importance. The program explains how these nutrients (protein, fiber, and carbohydrates) enable the body to grow and become stronger. Furthermore, the program comes with a calendar that is used to document the user’s progress. Along with the nutritional guide and calendar comes 13 DVDs for a total cost of around $150 after shipping and tax is assessed. Shipping by itself was $24, I thought this was little over but that’s the cost. To begin, I am going to pop in the first DVD and go through the fitness test. The fitness test is used to measure growth in terms of strength, stamina, and overall fitness at certain bench marks throughout the program. I am getting started now and I will update you with my progress tomorrow.
