P90X Fat Man - Phase 3!!

Had a great stretch session today, and then took a lovely walk at the local park. It's been an awesome day.

So I'm on week 11 now. Only three weeks left!

Chest and Back tomorrow. I'm hoping to really push myself.

Those of you asking about before and after pics, I did take before pics and I will take after pics, although I feel like the majority of the benefits of this (fitness, strength, endurance, etc.) aren't going to show up in the photos.

But I'll get there one day at a time.

Yes you will get there for sure....youll be "finishing" P90X one week before I finish JMBR.
You know the results you are getting the pictures may surprise you. Keep going.

Thanks! Yes! I'll keep on going for sure, and I hope you do too.

I had an awesome day with Chest and Back today!

There are two pushups that I'm just not strong enough to do yet, the decline pushups and the dive-bombers. Usually I do standard pushups on my knees. But I was feeling really motivated today and I thought, I'll try to do a real, proper, standard pushup. I DID FIVE OF THEM! WOO HOO! And in the second round I was able to do three more!

So, I'm going to be substituting those for these tougher pushups for the time being.

Next up is CardioX

Great Job!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks!

Today was pretty average day for CardioX. I got a 660 calorie burn from it. I didn't have to pause until right after the first plyo section. So, that's more progress.

I'm in a bit of pain today. I slept funny on my neck last night and it's been bothering me all day. It didn't affect the workout though. I just had to modify Back Knuckles in the Kenpo section, and one side in Warrior Two in Yoga.

So, anothe great P90X day I'm also going to be going on a walk with my family in a little while. We're enjoying these beautiful days (but I'm also secretly trying to get my wife interested in fitness

Next up is Shoulders and Arms! I've really been feeling the pump in my arms and I'm looking forward to that again tomorrow!

Well, I missed a day of P90X. Here's what happened. I had a friend drop by and he ended up staying long and we sorta talked through my regular work out time. We also talked through the scheduled time for a lot of other things. Before I knew it, I had to start my regular evening work.

So, here's what I doing to make up for it. Today I did what I should have done yesterday, Shoulders and Arms. And I'll keep going a day off like that until Sunday, which should have been my rest day, which I'll skip this week. That should get me back on schedule for Monday.

Oh well. I'll just keep going.

Today was pretty awesome! I was able to up the weights on a few of my sets, so that was cool. I fee like I'm doing great on the upper body stuff. I always find that encouraging.

Yoga tomorrow. It'll be a little tough working in the 1.5 hours on a Friday, but I'm sure I can do it.

Yesterday was a bad day. Sigh. I mean it was a lot of fun. We took our family out of town to a couple of places, and that means we ate out twice. I told myself that I'd do my workout when I got home, and then we didn't get home until after 10pm. Long story short, I skipped Core Synergistics completely

What I learned is that if we are planning on having a busy day, I need to get up earlier and do my workout first, and not push it back like that.

Today was a great day of Kenpo, however, after slacking off like that I felt like I really had some extra energy to spend. I did pretty well. I had to pause a couple of times, but that was because I was really pushing it. And that made me think. Maybe I should be pushing hard enough to have to pause occasionally.

Choose fitness each day! (And if you get lazy one day, like me, choose fitness the next!)

Pretty good CST day today. I was able to do a lot of knee pushups. I'm working on keeping my butt down more and I can feel that in my core. I really need to be doing the Ab Ripper X, but I keep shying away from it because I find it so hard. I'm definitely going to do it each time on the next round. I kind of want to finish this one strong.

THis is like, the best thread ever. Just so you know, bro.

whoot! ^_^

Haha! Thanks sis!

So, yesterday was another crazy day, but fortunately I did my CardioX in the morning before we got going, so all is good! I had to pause a couple of times around the swing kicks, but it went very well

Today was Back and Biceps. I really like this routine though it knocks a lot out of me right now. But I'm getting there.

I have 11 days to go until I finish P90X Lean!

WOOHOO!

Hi guys and gals. I'm back. I've been pretty sick the past few days, but I'm mostly recovered now. XStretch was pretty nice today. My muscles and joints were so sore this morning, but I felt a lot better after stretching. I also finished KenpoX last night before bed.

So, I'm back at the regular schedule. Oh, I don't think I got to mention that I'm in the last week!! Tomorrow is CardioX. Looking forward to it.

I love wacky jacks and the way I modify the Dreya Roll is by rocking on my back almost into a shoulder stand then rolling forward into a V-sit or "boat pose" in yoga. I hold that for her stand and jump then we roll back together. It takes a lot of core to stop the roll with the V-sit and not continue falling forward, but it's easier than getting all the way up and jumping. Keep up the good work!

That's a great idea! I'll be trying that next time around.
