Wife here… I have come to the conclusion that without some sort of stress relief, one may develop an evil twin or alternate ego. Reluctantly, I will say that P90X is a great stress reliever. Huh?!
Let me explain… stress from everyday things like a full-time job, going to class at night, being a wife, and so on and so on can cause me to get extremely emotionally delicate. (I could have a temper tantrum at any given second). I wasn’t always like this either… I used to feel like I handled stress pretty well. Not so much. Maybe I’m getting old (I turn 30 next month). Even though P90x is a resistance training workout program – stressful for your muscles, there’s nothing like finishing one of the workouts knowing that you’ve really pushed. I finished the Shoulders and Arms routine realizing that I’m going to need to go up in weight. Seriously after 3 weeks?! I love it!!!
The release for your muscles, catching your breath, and slowing your concentration leaves your mind feeling rested… Bye Bye Stress… at least for 24 hours until life resets.
On another note, I’ve decided that I think Chuck Norris and Tony Horton are related. They’re both in shape – bad asses looking for the greater good (p90x workouts and Walker Texas Ranger). I’ve squished them both together so you decide.
Hmmm... brothers?
