I think the best and most unexpected part of P90X is the positive impact that it's had on my family. When I get up on a Saturday morning and my daughter wants to join in on some Yoga X it makes my heart fill with happiness. Not only am I taking care of myself (because let's face it once all of those excersise endorphins hit the blood stream I'm just a better happier mom) but I am teaching my daughter how to take care of herself. What an amazing gift to give her!
When I was growing up my parents set an amazing example (thanks, mom and dad!). They chose to be vegetarian for health reasons and they both exercised regularly. In fact my dad was running marathons in his 50's and inspired my husband to run with him and he's the reason I started P90X! I didn't understand how much better taking care of yourself by exercising and eating healthy would make me feel until I fell out of all of the good habits that my parents had instilled in me. By teaching my kids healthy nutrition and exercise habits early and setting a good example I hope that she will learn how easy it can be to be healthy and that being healthy = feeling good!
