Planning next workout series

                Since I ended my last workout series I have joined a gym (something I have not done in many years).  I never really cared about paying for a membership or making time to go.  I felt like changing it up this year and decided I wanted to start lifting some weights again, nothing major just wanted to tone up a little bit.  So once LM Combat was over, I joined Planet Fitness.  I have to be honest, the Planet Fitness commercials really helped me make this choice.  Only kidding, a good friend of mine has been going there for years and has nothing but good things to say about it.  Planet is also somewhat on the way to work, so with my ever changing afternoon schedule, going before work has been such a joy.

                For a while now I have wanted to do 2 workout series a year, one in the late winter (which has always been when I kick my butt back into shape after the holidays) and another sometime in the fall.  After doing some research I think I am leaning toward doing P90x.  I have heard good things about it and like everything I am reading but I don’t really know anyone who has done it.  I love workouts that keep your heart rate up high and don’t give you much time for rests.  Yes it is terrible when you are in it but the results are completely worth it.  I am a Health and Physical Education major, and from my classes in Anatomy & Physiology and Kinesiology I have built up a belief in muscle confusion.  Not letting your body and muscles know what it happening that day is a good thing.  Doing this in the past for me has always worked better than doing the same circuit day in day out.  This is one of the beliefs of Tony Horton and in his deciding to create P90X.  If any of you have done this workout series before please comment I would love to hear to thoughts about it.
