P90X Makes me Sick

I realized something so sad today.  I thought about an epic failure from one of my fitness camps. Okay, warm up. "Nah man, I do P90X.  I'm good." Alright, box jumps, kettlebell swings.  Next jog and bear crawl. "Blech ... ewww gross." Yeah, he puked his guts out. Now, I don't take pride in doing so. But he asked for it. I felt bad, well a little. I tried not to laugh, tried so hard. He isn't the last one to puke. It happens every now and then. Here is what I learned. Eat right. I am not here to tell you what to eat, when to eat, or how much. These are all important things, but I don't know what is right for you. Dietitians are there for your nutritional needs. I had a client that cracked open a beer after working with me for a month. Then she looked at it, "What the hell am I doing?!" Next the biggest party foul of her life! She poured it all down the drain. It becomes common sense. So many articles and information out there for diet and exercise. The next epic failure. His form was terrible. He could barely hold down food, let alone do any exercise right. Videos, articles, and machines are terrible. All of them try to teach proper form. None of them correct improper form. My professor, Jon Garfield, told me to never waste money on videos. Videos never correct you. The simplest step skipped may make the difference in your results. I see improper squats all the time, poor form on push ups, and I had to start from scratch before. One kid couldn't even do jumping jacks. The Ground Game starts with the simplest basics. No matter how advanced you are or may become, the foundational moves from the disciplines allow you to progress. I make it happen, because you can't progress with out perfecting the finer details. I stress it so much, Athleticism, Performance, Drive. Work smart, train hard, eat right, and rest.
