Joe Bovino and the “Average Guy’s P90X Diary” (Humor)

Two P90X Diaries: Tony vs “Average Guy”

A lot of the stuff I have published in the “humor” category has been around a while before I’ve seen it. (Thousands of YouTube views, for example.) This is probably the first time I’ve had “breaking news” on my Twitter feed and Facebook group. Very exciting!

I participate in another group called P90X with Joe Bovino, where about 250 members so far have joined with the man himself (“Diamonds of Gold”) to talk about our daily workouts, ask questions, etc. A couple of weeks ago, Joe Bovino teased us with a project he was working on, to combine P90X with humor, and he’d let us know when it was ready. The day has come! Joe also said there might be a series of these “entries” in the P90X diary.

Of course, this is not his first venture into humor writing, with his tongue-in-cheek book Field Guide to Chicks of the United States. The graphic you see above, comparing Tony Horton’s P90X diary to the “Average Guy,” might be less controversial. Since I’ve had the opportunity to interact with Joe for a while now, I can say that in both cases it’s good-natured fun, only meant to stir up some discussion and hopefully get a better understanding. We all struggle with male/female relationships, at some level, and those of us who’ve been through that P90X Day 1 experience can probably sympathize with the “Average Guy” too.

Besides my excitement at being so close to this story, there’s another reason I had to publish this today. I just started Week 9 of my current P90X/Insanity hybrid schedule. Today’s workout? Chest and Back! My personal favorite!
