I am 16 and recently started exercising with my volleyball team. We have been doing P90X weights pull-ups abs and lots of running. However lately I've been having lower stomach pains. I feel that maybe I'm hungry but the pain is still there. I've also noticed I'm not eating as much but maybe that has to deal with the exercise? I'm not quite sure if this is normal but I wanted to see anyways.

Hi there and thanks so much for your question! Yes P90X it is a very popular program designed by the popular fitness Trainer Tony Horton. Me as an ex athlete I have always expressed interest in new ways of physical exercise and when trying the program I could see that P90X could be beneficial for specific audiences with extensive athletic background otherwise I would strongly not recommend it unless you combine it with other sorts of exercise programs. What you are experiencing it may be an internal strain of the rectus abdominus that is in other words the abdominal wall. This intense movements can cause in fitness what is popular of a hernia. Strengthening your abs can prevent or contain a hernia but too much intra-abdominal pressure from ab exercises can make a hernia worse.

It is not bad but I would lower the intensity or combine with other sorts of mild strength training exercises. ( You can check my program in youtube) My recommendation will be to do extensive stretching light moves that put no pressure and stay away from pull ups or push ups till improves. Failure of listening to your body may result to a worsen condition. I hope this helps!
