Maimai the motivator
February 19th, 2010 by mitone
I’m a natural motivator. I know, pat myself on the back. Really though, I got a whole bunch of people on P90X when I first started. I was so pumped about it, if anyone commented on how great I looked (I was 30lbs overweight and lost 20 at that point) I would just talk to anyone about my workout and all the wonderful results. And these people (sister, brother in law to name a few) would look at me and wonder, well hell, if she can do it, I should be able to.
I’m the least athletic person in the family and the last one to get into such an intense workout program, so seeing me get into P90X made them want to give it a try. They’d think, it’s not that extreme if she can handle it. Ha ha! And I was the one laughing when they said their first workout made them want to throw up!
My latest convert is my brother who just started his first week. I’m using myself as a tool to keep him going. He can’t quit if his oldest sister is on the program. That would just be humiliating and no one would ever let him live that down.
