In my early college years, it seemed like everyone was talking about P90X, but no one I knew was doing it. Back in the “aughts” of the 21st century, word traveled the good-old-fashioned-way: by mouth. P90X flew into the spotlight over a decade before I ever considered using it, and long before Instagram provided a platform for daily #fitspo updates. I started by looking into her programs.Įventually, though, I found my way to P90X.

I decided to research home workouts, inspired by Instagrammer Kayla Itsines, who has her own at-home program series through an app called Sweat. With the weather getting drearier by the day, I finally stopped kidding myself that I’d get back into the habit. I thought, what am I going to do? I decided to try something new.īy the time I thought about P90X, it had been a couple of months since I had gone to the gym on any sort of regular basis. And then I started feeling pretty crummy.
Tired of the cold and the rain, I quit going to the gym within a couple of months of moving north. And colder and wetter, too, because in Chicago the slippery slope into winter begins in September. When summer ended, I moved home to Chicago-and to a new neighborhood, farther north than I had lived before. The senior citizens liked having me around and often wanted to chit-chat. The Planet Fitness was gloriously empty during the day when everyone but me and the retirees were at work.
I was spending a couple of months at my partner’s house in South Carolina and I drove his old Ford Explorer five minutes to the local Planet Fitness each day. Of course, the fact that I enjoyed the results of weightlifting wasn’t always a strong enough incentive for me to start back up after a hiatus. Because I bounced between dedicated gym attendance and none at all, I failed to ever get very strong, but I liked it while I did it.

In 2014, my sister taught me how to lift weights, and I adopted weightlifting as my primary stress reliever and exercise of choice (that and Zumba classes!). See those baby muscles coming in?įor the last few years, I’ve alternated between dedicated daily gym routines and I’m-too-overwhelmed-with-life-to-possibly-get-to-the-gym routines.
