P90X

So I've been at it for 5 days. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not sore. Because I am. I know loads of people who have started this program and stopped. I have some theories on that.

1. It's too hard
I don't think it's all that hard. It's not like I can't finish the reps.
2. Time
I enjoyed the 90 minutes of yoga, but not everyone has that kind of time to invest.

Why I would quit (I'm not going to, but what my reasons would be):
1. Not functional enough. I think it's a program to make pretty muscles, but not the kind that you use in real life.

2. Not aerobic enough. I like to have my heart pounding and sweat dripping off my face. My heart rate has probably gotten into the 140's, but I have yet to sweat.

Really I need to get some weights heavier than 5lbs, but I don't want to get bulky muscle. It's something my body is good at, but I don't like how it looks. My shoulders already struggle to fit into my shirts.

Basically, that was week 1 and I have 11 more to go. Also, the first 3 weeks repeat; boring.
