To Read or Not to Read

Ya...Whose got time for that? I admit...I don't read the instruction books very often. I find them boring and full of ¨blah, blah, blah¨. Usually, I just pull what I need from them and zip my life right along. So, I opened up all my stuff today.

There is the P90X3 Fitness Guide. Yep. Staring right at me. I was so blessed to get a copy from my good friend with the DVDs. But, you wanna know a big secret? The only thing I looked at and followed in there was the first 4 week workout schedule. Other than that...I didn't crack that guide open for nothing! Nothing.

So, I want to do this all proper and stuff. I grab that guide today and start reading it. GASP! I need to do a pre-Fitness Test. Oh joy! I, in theory, could skip it, but it might be fun.

Here are some difficulties. I do not own a pull-up bar. I modified at home with dumbbells and resistance bands but no bar here. Hmmm...I might have to go to a park and pony up. Lovely. Excuse me boys and girls...this chick is out to prove whether P90X3 works...MOVE OVER!! What? Your mom is over there? Would she like to join my challenge group? It won't take me a minute. I'm sure I can't even do one. You can laugh at me. I can take it....

Seriously...I know I am not good at this stuff but where will I be in 90 days? So, it might be fun to take the challenge. Ok. Check. Fitness Test on the books for tomorrow.

Was it worth reading the guide? Yeah. I probably should have done it in the beginning. I, mean, they took the time to put it together. It took less than an hour for me to go through it. There are a few things they still didn't tell me. Like...you need tape on the floor for Agility X. I don't have tape. Last time, I was skipping Agility X because of the ¨tape issue¨. That I will save for another blog. Or the difference in towels you need to wipe your sweat with or the towels you will need to move over. We all don't have gym-sized towels around our house. Well...I don't. Hand towels are the closest I get. It helps to already have that towel rolled up for some of the moves not all flopsy from you wiping your sweaty brow, but hey...I'm just one uncoordinated chick. So, I need me two towels. One for wiping and one for swiping...so to speak. I just like to know...do I need a towel for moving or just for sweat dripping off my face. Wah...Wah...Wah...

So...if you got it, read it. Here's to the Fit Test tomorrow. OYE!!
