A quick explanation

For those of you joining me on my p90x journey. It has been pointed out to me that due to the staccato nature of my posts, I should explain exactly what I'm trying to do.

This blog started because I was going to tackle the event of a life time..the Men's Health Survival of the fittest.
A 10 km race with about 16 crazy obstacles to overcome.
I finished the race in 56 minutes and had the time of my life.

As I trained for the event, I felt my life improve. I was more disciplined with my job applications, going to bed early and watching less TV. No energy can also be attributed to not having a gym buddy any more to motivate and support.
Then I got ill and all this went back to zero. For the last month, I have reversed my progress so much and missing an important deadline gave me the kick in the bum that I badly needed.

So I decided I needed to get my discipline back on lock with another challenge...I chose to find out what all the hype was about p90x. This is going to be especially hard because I am going back to the motherland on Monday, a nation filled with awesome nights out and too much drinking. On top of this, it will be December and we all know what xmas brings...cake, and relaxation..So I decided that I will try and make the magic happen.

I hope that this blog proves entertaining for you and would love to hear your comments. I hope that you can use the information here to design your own work outs and also get fighting fit. As a fitness junke, I have learned a lot in the world of health and would love to share my knowledge with you as I learn more from this challenge!

As with any challenge, we need a before and after picture. I can do one better. I will provide a before-before (whilst at my prime), a before, and at the end an after.

1) A picture from a year ago:

2) A current picture:

3)After? well that's for us to find out..please get involved, send in you pics and lets try get in the best shape of our lives together!
