Even after four rounds of training this way, I still get sore. That's still amazing to me. Years of working out in the gym just created plateau after plateau.
I was pretty impressed also with my rep counts. I kind of had to tail off the last couple of weeks with P90X+ so I thought maybe I might be low on some of the reps but I was able to meet or break all of my goals today.

Starting up a New Round of P90X
Tomorrow will be the beginning of my fourth round of diligent training using the P90x products. I just cut short a round of P90x+ just because I feel I got some good core strength from it and I wanted to get back into more resistance training rather than the cardio based work outs of X+.
I'm still dealing with an elbow issue so I will not be able to do real pull ups but I am still able to get a great work out with the black band and the door attachment to simulate pull ups with out hurting my elbow at all.
It will be nice to get back on a schedule since I've taken the last week or so off. I think one of the greatest things that has happened from working out this way is that it is becoming a great habit. Before when I stopped working out, one or two months would fly by before I started to miss working out. Now, if one or two weeks goes by without doing something I begin to feel like something is missing. To get into great shape and maintain it, it has to be a lifestyle change and P90X has given me that.

Coming up on a Year
It just occurred to me today that it's coming up on a year since I started the P90X lifestyle. It was March of last year that I was house sitting for a good friend. He was attending the funeral for his father-in-law. He had died of the same cancer my father had died of almost 20 years prior.
I remember seeing the infomercial and thinking, I'm investing in my health right NOW. I had always been fit, but not REALLY fit. I still ate what I wanted and all though I wasn't fat, I was definitely starting to get soft. My only regret is that I didn't choose to do it sooner.
Yeah...I had seen the infomercial a few years before and thought it looked like something I would like but for whatever I didn't do it. But I sit here a year after investing in myself and I can honestly say that it has been the best investment I ever made. I'm so glad that I didn't find some other reason not to buy it.
