Power 90...Who's With Me?

Paula: You are WAY too funny! I am so glad I didnt see that but great I better not be looking for it tomorrow!!! Awesome job on sculpt 3-4! I dread once we have to squate/lunge combos I want to cry!

Now you just KNOW the first place you'll be looking tomorrow!!! :devil:

:bigsmile:

Home sick today with a head cold so hit the Sculpt 1,2. Don't think I have got that tired before. Its great feeling pushing through that feeling of wanting to quit early. First time ive felt that way.
Still having a really tough time with the 7-7-7's I just can't do the in close push ups. I have always tried to do them but never been able to get more then one so I usually just move on to the next set of pushups. So today I figured might as well get something done and dropped my knees and did them female style. Still hard but able to get my seven in then do the next set of pushups normal style. Anyone have some ideas to help me get through these and get stronger at these particular pushups.

Thanks

I know it's been said before, but don't you just feel a lot better about a workout when you didn't want to do it in the first place? Way to stick with it! The Tri pushups are killer. How long have you been at P90?

Hey Everyone! Tonight I changed things up as I just was not in the mood for any Yoga although the 1 on 1 is good! I just wanted some cardio. So, first I did 10 min trainer Cardio and it was really good. Then I did 1 on 1 Cardio and that hit the spot! I burned ALOT of calories and it just felt AWESOME! What a great workout tonight!!! Tomorrow I have Legs & Back...

Thury: There is nothing at all wrong with doing those push-ups on your knees. Those are super hard ones and I even struggle with them. Good job modifying. With doing them on your knees, you will build up the strength in your arms and one day you will do them on your toes... I am so proud of you for getting in there and working out! We all get that way sometimes, even Tony... In the workout I did tonight, 1 on 1 Cardio, he was super grouchy at work and kept saying he we not in the mood to workout. 3/4 of the way through, he was back to his normal nutty self and dancing around and said he was so glad he pushed play now...

Well, gotta get to bed. I hope everyone has a great nights sleep and excellent workout tomorrow!

Good morning.. see I am finally on top of things. hehe

Yesterday I decided to do Legs and Back since I knew today I wouldnt be able to workout since we are going to see Howie tonight. I might try to do some cardio at lunch today and that just might consist of shoveling snow, go figure. I love legs and back, I felt so good after doing that. Man those wall squats and the tippie toe lunges.. wowy. I was shocked I kept up with the workout of all those squates and lunges and I still felt like I could do more after. I love how I am feeling, not totally out of breath now doing the workouts. I really did push myself on this one and just my butt feels a little sore and my calves.

Tomorrow I think I might bring out the ultimate bootcamp tae bo since I didnt find Kenpo was enough for me and I know taebo really makes me burn. And then I am sure Jenn and I will do something fun on sunday to make up for my one day off today. hehe

Mornin' all,

Stayed in the scratcher this morning and made a deal with myself to go to the gym at lunch time and get a 30 minute run in and then do the 200 thingy ma gip abs thing.

So, that's the plan.

Tena: I do like your recommendation to go to the modified (I prefer that term than "female") push ups as at least that way you're working the chest and arms rather than just standing there waiting for the next workout. I say this 'cos I find those close push ups a byatch to do so, now, I'll do the wide and normal ones on my toes and drop to my knees when they get really difficult but at least keep working. I like it!!!

Later all

Tena I could not find any gloves like that, they had the wrist/ankle bands but those would be irritating if they kept sliding on my arms. I will have to go to the fitness place to find them instead of walmart and such here. Thanks for the suggestion, I just like the taebo since it used bands almost the entire workout there too.

Got my 30 minute/3 mile run in and then did the Ab Ripper 200 thingy. VERY pround of myself as I remembered all 10 exercises and actually did 20 of each. Jesus, some days I ROCK!!! :smokin:

Have a great weekend all.

I HATE TRI PUSHUPS!!!!!:mad:

BUT I got through them. I just finished sculpt, 1,2 and can honestly say I didnt push myslef like I normally do a little dissapointed just still sore and tired. Tough having days like that cuz ill feel guilty all day that I just didnt push myself to work harder then last time.

I'm with you on the tri pushups. I just did Sculpt 3+4 and modified the push up for the tri's. STILL tough!

Please don't feel guilty. You got up and pushed play and exercised! Just think of the MILLIONS of people in the States who'll do nothing today....... and you worked out. I say well done!

Consistency is the thing. Sticking with it.

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend all.

Paula

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, need it sometimes. I just hate that feeling at the end of a workout when you are not as tired and sweaty as you feel you should be. I was just venting a little bit. I get so exhausted after the 7-7-7's. I feel good today though we headed to the city for a banquet, and I knew they were serving burgers so we stopped at "Ruby Tuesdays" I was not really sure what I was gonna find but they had a cool salad bar that I stuck to so I am pretty happy that I stuck with my meal plan in a tough situation. I have held off this long for these situations to avoid temptation and I kicked its butt so I stayed within calories today in fact I need to have a snack before bed to get closer. I have a hard time getting up to my 1900 calories in a day.

Tena, Yeah I sent an email and got one back that they were working on it so you should hear from them anyday. I did it with my work email so I will not know anything until Monday for sure if they mentioned anything. Well off to bed to watch a movie then get up and hit the sweat 1-2.

Next Thursday is a month into the diet and next sunday is a month into power 90 for the new photo's and measurements. I am kinda excited, I check the weight probablly too often but its dropped quite a bit so I am pretty happy to check it. I will let you guys know the outcome next week.
I know I haent been at this long but appreciate this place to vent and discuss. Thank you everyone.

Tena: I am not really sure just kinda using the numbers that MFP gave me, that is not including workout calories though so it is usually quite a bit higher? Not sure if you were thinking that was low or high?

Morning all,

Sculpt 3+4 again this morning. Man but that's a lot of squats. Feel good, had a great weekend and then won the superbowl pools at work! Ha! Maybe I'll treat myself to a good heartrate monitor!

Have a great day and great start to the week all.

Paula

I know you will do better after your NAP!!! Yes I am jealous. hehe

Well today I felt guilty for not being able to workout this weekend, I had great intentions for a sunday workout but then we had unexpected visitors on my door step when I got home from Elmo live... and then everyone came over for superbowl after this couple left.. oh well.

So today I did Kenpo X for my lunch hour and I will do chest and back with hubby tonight. I really enjoy doing cardio at work so i think I am going to just keep all the cardio workouts for my lunches and then do the weight training at night with dh since he doesnt want to do the high impact cardio because of his knees. what a baby!!

I had a great weekend, other than Howie do it sucks and we left after 45 min of torture especially sitting in the drunk section just about took me over the edge. hehe We had a great girls night out saturday at Jenns' watching Bride Wars.

Hey Everyone! Just finished my workout and it was TOTALLY AWESOME!! I did Chalene's "I've got Abs" and my abs were screaming! I loved it!!! Then I did P90X Back & Biceps and lifted alittle slower and my arms and back were burning BIG TIME! It was such an AMAZING feeling! I definitely "left it all on the floor" tonight!!! Tomorrow I am doing P90X+ Intervals. That is a killer aerobic workout!!!

Well gotta finish my Recovery drink, hit the shower and then eat some dinner! I will be back alittle later!
