In the past year and a half I have completed several fitness programs that ranged from four weeks to 90 days. Currently, I'm in the midst of a 3 month hybrid of P90X and P90X Plus 90 workout routine. Just like every other program, as I reach the midway point I find myself weary of the same old thing. In an effort to keep it fresh I use the "stretch" and "rest" days to run or do other cardio activities. It's not boredom with the routine, there's something that I can't name that stalls me.
This time, like the others, I feel good and am making notable progress toward my goals. It' just like I feel blah. Not only am I having trouble articulating what plagues me, I can't get excited about today's workout. I'm sure this too shall pass. I wish I had some idea what causes this period of melancholy. I have ordered P90X2, which I expect to arrive around the end of the year. Maybe by then, I can complete a 90 day set without getting bogged down around day 40.
Be it scheduled or spontaneous, exercise for life.
