How do you get over gym anxiety?
Long story short, I've developed this intimidation by gyms when they're packed, it's to the point where I started work at 6:30AM today so I woke up at 3:30 to work out just to avoid having to go in the pm when it's crazy busy. Anyone else go through this or am I just weird? It wasn't always like that, yeaaars back I had…

CALLING ALL P90Xers, current and previous
I've got a question for you, did you finish the program in the exact time? I find the weekends when I go to my parents I can't do certain workouts like chest/shoulders,triceps etc cuz all my weights are at my place. Therefore I end up doing some cardio instead, like going for a jog. My question is, have any of you guys…

Old me had a bad day and couldn’t wait to go home and pour herself a…
