February 10, 2011 – 3:52 am Today’s P90x workout was Plyometrics. It was a great workout. I felt good! I ate my pre-exercise energy pudding snack, and got to jumping. Got In Touch With The Wild Kangaroo Spirit Inside Of Me I had a lot of energy, so I was really able to let loose. After doing 30 seconds of the [...]
February 8, 2011 – 10:19 am Today in the Chest and Back P90x workout I did push-ups and pull-ups until I couldn’t push up or pull up anymore. Fitness promoter Jack Lalanne did 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes on a TV show in 1956. Herschel Walker, a once pro NFL football player, and 7th place 1992 Winter Olympics bobsledder, is now [...]
February 7, 2011 – 3:10 pm Today was X Stretch. I woke up and treated it just like any other workout, because it is important for me to work on all aspects of fitness. It felt good to stretch today, although some of the stretches that Tony has you do are quite uncomfortable. The frog and glute stretches are definitely the [...]
February 6, 2011 – 12:03 pm The hard part of week 2 is over, now all I have is X Stretch tomorrow and then it is on to week 3. Week 1 was hard to get through, and my goal during it was to just make it through the week. Week 2 I wanted to do better than I did in [...]
February 5, 2011 – 12:37 pm Legs, legs, then more legs! Ah! Having Yoga X, a workout that is hard enough for my legs, the day before Legs & Back makes the Legs & Back workout even harder. Also, doing Kenpo X tomorrow with sore legs is a little difficult. The last part of the week in the P90x schedule is [...]
February 4, 2011 – 3:18 pm For today, the P90x workout I had was Yoga X. It went well. For the first time ever, I was able to hold Crane for the full 60 seconds. I was so happy with myself for finally being able to hold it that long without touching a foot on the ground. Yesterday after the Shoulders [...]
February 3, 2011 – 6:13 am I’ve used dumbbells many times in the past, and when I was getting ready to start P90x in 2009 for the first time, I didn’t have access to any, and I also didn’t want to spend all that money to buy some. The alternative was resistance bands. I really didn’t think resistance bands would be [...]
February 2, 2011 – 6:55 am When I start a workout program after not exercising for a period, mentally (and physically of course) I find it very challenging. The mental chatter in my head is for the most part negative when I am first starting a workout program. I think this is because at first, exercising is a heck of a [...]
February 1, 2011 – 8:47 pm After my second time through P90x I didn’t workout for a month. This whole week I have been seeing how much I lost because of that long break. I had it planned when I was going to start my 3rd round of P90x, and until then I was going to do something else as exercise. [...]
January 31, 2011 – 7:33 am A big sigh of relief. Today is rest day. After a week of P90x that quite frankly, has felt like electro-shock therapy, zapping me daily in an attempt to make me right again, I need a break. I’ve always enjoyed stretching, I think it feels great, and consensus says that it is beneficial. I was [...]
