Join the club! I can do P90X2 and I love it, but it will catch up to me eventually and I certainly won’t do it to the best of my ability. So what am I going to do? In my case, I have felt like you know what over the last almost 7 months. That is until about 10 days ago when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease, which actually is a fairly common thyroid disorder. I started taking these little white pills every morning and I am gradually coming back to life (picture a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade float being inflated, except that I begin to deflate over night and have to be re-inflated again the next morning.)
That means that I have to start at the proverbial square one more or less in terms of fitness and strength and not do P90X2. Am I being wimpy? No, I am actually being smart for a change and not being cavalier. P90X2 is that good and that challenging that I want to get the most out of it. So what’s the plan? I am going to do about a month of Power 90, which believe it or not I have never done except for a few workout here and there. Then I am going to do about a month of P90X before starting the X2 (what I affectionately call P90X2) on about March 1st, which is a Thursday.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way and I am going to find a way to do P90X2 – even at 61!
If you have to start at square one each day, think of it like the movie ‘Groundhog Day’. Each day you get a little farther or better, by making adjustments from what did/didn’t work the day before. For that matter, even for those not starting at square one each day, studying the day before helps. It’s similar to Tony’s saying, “How do you know what to do if you don’t know what you did?”.
