Well, you are certainly allowed to “love” Yoga and running a little isn’t so bad (Caveat: Will ANY doctor in America tell you to START a running program? NO. Will a doctor tell a person to STOP a running program? YES.) Most bang for buck comes from progressive resistance training. Look up the word: “Sarcopenia”. Runners have it. Yoga people have it. Resistance trainers do not. Balance what you love with what you must do.

I don’t think it will cause you to bulk up too much or that it will be too hard. Yes, it is hard, but you can adjust it to you (i.e. assisted pull ups/ pull ups with resistance bands, modified moves in Plyo, push ups on your knees, starting with low weights, etc.). It will be hard, especially at first, but use it to motivate yourself! It won’t be hard, because you’ll be able to feel your body changing and yourself getting stronger each time you do it.

As far as the bulking up, I personally feel that it’s hard for a woman to really bulk up. I think a lot of women steer clear of strength training because they don’t want to look bulky, but in my experience strength training has only ever made me look leaner and longer.

I’m 30 days into the program and I feel stronger and feel like I’m already looking a littler leaner everywhere (I was overweight to begin with, so I’m looking to lose!). My husband notices it too, unprompted, so I know it’s not just in my head.

Feel free to email me if you have any other questions/ want to chat more!

I have heard a lot about P90X and have been considering purchasing it lately, but I am worried I will bulk too much or that it will just be too hard. What are your thoughts?

The reason I am going back and forth about it is because I love yoga and try to do that at least 3 times per week, and I am also trying to get back into running (usually 30-45 mins, 3 times a week) and it just seems like that plus an hour of P90X will be waaay too much. I think for now I’m just going to do a few workouts a week

It is a time commitment – usually around an hour. That time does include water breaks, stretching, warm up, cool down, etc. I personally think it’s very do-able (I work two part-time jobs, go to school part time, and have plenty other responsibilities). I also think that if you don’t have that kind of time available everyday, doing a couple of the workouts throughout the week is a great way to supplement your current workout/ cardio routine. Please feel free to email me through the contact page above with any questions! I’m not a beachbody coach or a personal trainer, but I am a real live person going through it right now.

I am borrowing a copy of P90X from a friend today – I could really use some strength work but it also seems like a large time commitment. I’m going back to read the rest of what your opinions are right now
