Pumped Up

An on-again, off-again relationship with an extreme workout program offers a humorous reminder that fitness requires persistence and perspective.

Last night I revisited my on-again, off-again relationship with Tony Horton, founder of the P90X “extreme” fitness program.

I say on-again, off-again, because unlike my friends who have tried to “bring it” and keep up with Tony (and ended up unable to tie a tie the next morning), I pride myself in listening to my body and resting when necessary. Heck, sometimes (OK, more than sometimes) I even skip a workout.

My wife calls it lazy.
