Fitness Goals Support Group
This community is dedicated to group support around achieving fitness goals, whatever they may be, through personal training, athletic activites, or other strenuous activity. Whether you are trying to get fit to treat a health problem, boost your mood, relieve stress, or tone your body, this group is a great place to meet other like-minded people who have similar goals.
I am getting into the daily workout phase. My body is getting used to working out daily. I have p90x and I am attempting to be able to complete all the videos. I can do the whole shoulders and arms video but that's about it. I am trying to work my way up to being able to complete all the videos, I'm clearly not in the best shape. I can feel myself getting stronger though. I notice improvment on my workout sheets. To Be Honest my body can't handle p90x every day. If I don't do p90x I walk 2 miles on top of the 2 miles I walk already.
I am very cautious not to over do it because I know how my body reacts to overworked muscles. If I over do it, I look exactly like an 80 year old man in need of a walker to help myself move around. I take ibuprofen probably more than I should. Is there anything that any of you can suggest that I can take for inflamed or pulled muscles?
I have noticed a positive change on my body sense I've started working out. I have a 4 pack now that I'm proud of.

Welcome to this forum, Drew. It gets a bit slow here & was like that when I joined on. I have to think that people are busy being fit! :)
Until you get some other advice:
I'm also on SparkPeople (my 'fess up time). They have lots of articles & videos of various topics. Maybe the following link to an article might be helpful to you. In my reading, one thing I know that "they" say is to allow enough recovery time for muscles. They need to repair.

-----I tried it without being logged in. It should work. They have lots of other sources too.
Also, try not to work out the same muscles EVERY day. Give yourself and your muscles time to recover, to lessen the chance of injury :)
