P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #1 “Don’t eat junk food”

It’s really as simple as that. They call it junk food for a reason, it really is junk. You don’t want this stuff going into your body! Cookies, cakes, candy and processed meats all have to go. If you’re going to take the program seriously you need to eliminate this stuff from your daily diet all together.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #2 “Don’t try to be a hero”

You’re getting ready to do an exercise, Tony asks you to set a goal, you say “25 reps” when in all reality you know that last week you could only do 8. It’s very important to push yourself, but you need to be realistic, other wise you set yourself up for failure.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #3 “Don’t beat yourself up”

Likewise if you set a reasonable goal and happened to fall just short, don’t beat yourself up about it. You are involved in this program to allow yourself to grow and gradually meet your fitness goals, don’t worry you’ll get there. One of the most famous Tony Horton mantras is “Do your best, and forget the rest!”

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #4 “Don’t skip your workouts”

No one said P90X was going to be easy! It’s important to make sure that you make time for your new workout routine. The program requires a real commitment. There may be times when you’re tired from the daily grind, there may be engagements you must attend, so be sure to designate a time that works for your lifestyle. Skipping one makes it easy to skip another. Remember you’re doing this for you! Make it a point to do your scheduled workouts each and every day!

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #5 “Don’t starve yourself”

Withholding food isn’t going to help you! Eating next to nothing isn’t going to work! Starving yourself is NOT effective! Ok, I think we drilled that point home. You’re body needs fuel to operate and not eating is counter productive. As Tony so wisely says “Your body doesn’t run on exercise. It runs on the food you put in your mouth.
If you want the results that P90X can provide you need to have the energy to “Bring It” during your workouts.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #6 “Don’t compromise your form”

You’ll learn the right and wrong ways to perform each P90X exercise. Proper form is extremely important! Never compromise form just to finish a set or to pump out a few sloppy reps. When the muscles you are working give out, it’s time to stop, don’t try to engage other muscles just to finish. Check your form and workout in a way that is kind to your structure. This will keep you healthy while you get strong.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Don’t #7 “Don’t skip warm up”

There are those that feel like warm up isn’t important or seems like a waste of time. This couldn’t be further from the truth. NEVER skip warm up! Your body should feel limber and you should be breaking a light sweat before you dive into any full-out exercising.
