P90X Fit Test

Health comes to us in many forms. At www.Raw-Pleasure.com.au we've made a mistake that we have seen many others make in focusing on food and thinking this will bring us ultimate health. I've been exercising regularly but not enough when I compare it to sitting at a computer for hours and hours per day. The level of activity was not balancing out the level of inactivity.

I needed a challenge! Thankfully I'm not a large girl. I lost my excess weight following a high raw diet. However I'm flabby, untoned, not very strong and have low endurance.

I could have joined a gym but I don't really like gyms much and joining a gym means I need to be out of my house more and I need to be home for work. So I went and found a program online. I've seen Anthony Anderson's (www.rawmodel.com) results although he was very fit to start with and Phil McCluskey (www.lovingraw.com) is having wonderful results as well.

So, after chatting to Bill we got ourselves the P90X program and today we completed the fit test as much as possible. Our weights are in storage and the make shift ones we used were a bit fat fail, I failed the pull ups and I reckon I did ok at the sit ups but Bill says I cheated! LOL. Did not...

So, here are our photos and a few thoughts. We'll post again at day 45 and again at day 90. As most who know us will expect we'll be totally ignoring their nutrition program (nothing against it except we eat mainly raw and there's a lotta cooked fodder in there). We'll also keep up with walking our dog, and going for bushwalks and bike rides.

Any advice thoughts etc are appreciated!

Right thigh - 45cm
Left thigh - 46cm

So there you have it! We're so excited about this program. I had a friend who is very into health and even more importantly in fitness who said it's one of the best programs she's ever seen and her ultra fit hubby agreed. See you when I'm buffer. When we're buffer!

P90X can be purchased from www.beachbody.com.

Hi Jennie, how is the p90x going? Would love to see an after shot of your progress.

Thanks will check out the program. You are so right about the photo we have in our heads as opposed to the one we see on print/screen.
