Week 13/Day 6 - One Fitness Test to go!! Great 90 days. This blog always kept me motivated to keep it up and not skip! Thanks to all and congrats on your success too.

Week 13/ Day 3 - Pilates. Nearing the end and 0 workouts missed! Had to double up one day due the ice storm, but STILL losing the NO EXCUSES CHALLLENGE to my daughter and son-in-law! They haven't missed ANY DAYS - while living in Lucca Italy! Looking for the next challenge!!!

Week 11/Day 3 The Challenge - 11 (assist band) pullups 22 Powerstand pushups. With the burnoutout 103 pullups and 191 Pushups during the workout. My favorite workout. Run 3 miles - 26 mins.

Week 11/ Day 2 - Agility X: Good workout, got the heart rate up. Much better than last go at it.

Week 11 Day 1 - Decelerator: Will never be able to do the Crane Cracker Pushups! Have modified that one every time!! Short two mile run - enjoying great Atlanta weather this week!

WEEK 8 DAY 1 - Isometrix - Still on track, with program. Isometrix was a tough program, but I really enjoyed the mixture of the yoga and balance aspects of the workout. if I only watched my diet more closely I would meet my objectives - but not having much luck with that.

Week 6 Day 4 - Eccentric lower - back soreness has pretty much disappeared. Will be real careful tomorrow on Incinerator (when I hurt it). Will probably do Cold Start prior to it to make sure I am warmed up. Trying to get a little more "strength" in my workouts so adding 4 sets of 10 (assistance band used) of various…

I too have not lost weight with the plan. I do notice a difference in how my clothes fit so I must be re-shaping a little. I dropped a couple pounds in the first three weeks and have since put 1.5lbs back on. I have not eaten "per the plan" but will focus more on that in the next 8 weeks.

Glad to see everybody is still on track! I have kept it up and am on track but crazy weather and a busy flying schedule has made it more difficult to get the workouts entered. So I am at Week 6 Day 3 Yoga today. On Sunday I did tweak something in my lower right back above the hip doing the Renegade Row. Still sore. Feels…

Phranc67 - Glad you didn't hurt yourself more badly. Head banging is not a good exercise routine!! Good luck with the program and well done for bouncing back quickly (pun intended). :smile: Yoga - today, good warmup for a six hour car ride.

Great job. I liked the Eccentric Upper too. Nice variety of stuff

I know better than to bet too much! There is always something that tries to disrupt a NO EXCUSES Challenge. That is why I like the challenge for some accountability. Otherwise I too easily find a reason not to exercise some days! :happy:

Well due to the Atlanta snowstorm and having to spend two nights sleeping at work, I lost the NO EXCUSES Challenge with my daughter and her husband!! But I doubled up today with the Eccentric Upper and Triometrics in order to catch up. But NO EXCUSES meant just that - so there goes my $10 ;-)

Did my standard TinMan Yoga today! Long way to go before it is Gumby Yoga!!!!

Pilates today - much tougher drills to get right than I would have expected. Many modifications. Much room for improvement. Run - 3.5miles/ 8.5 pace MHR 162

They might be a little harder but it doesn't hurt the wrists so much! So there goes the No Pain No Gain mantra!

The Accelerator - Good workout. Used Powerstands for the plank and pushups to keep my wrist straight because I bruised it. Good modification if you have sore wrists.

Dynamix today. Was able to stay on the Challenge while out of town, but ate TOO MUCH! Back to square 2 (at least not square one).

CVX - 12.5 lbs. Tired today after 4 hours of sailing and 3 mile run and way too much food last night! Oh well, next week will be better.

Week 3 Day 2 Agility - Pre WO HR 53, Max 144, Post WO (2 minutes after) 97. I like the drills and am getting a little better each time I do them - never perfect. Can always get better. The flexibility has definitely improved since getting the disks before Christmas.

Total Synergistics - Today Pre WO HR 73 Post WO 128 Week 3 Day 1 Pull Up Knees - 4 Releve 40lbs Circ Crunch 9 3 Hop 20 lbs GH 20 lbs FW 10 lbs Sq Rkr 20 lbs SRP 5 lbs Working hard but not dropping much wt even though the calories are below the required. May not be eating enough! I have read about that syndrome in Men's…

Nothing restful about Dynamix! I stretched every muscle in my body I think. I need this more than anything. Run 3.8 miles/33 minutes Pre-WO HR 60, Max 164, Within 2 minutes PostWO 100 Dynamix. Shakeology Results and Recovery 2 P90X protein bars ( one breakfast, one morning snack)

CVX - 12.5 lb dumbell. Heart rate pre workout 53, Max at end of drills 153. Went for 26 minute run after - max HR 166.

Imagine my surprise when I got downstairs and found out it was THE CHALLENGE not CVX today. I actually like THE CHALLENGE though. My goal was 10/17.. The pullups are using the pullup assist so I can do them more strictly as the kipping hurt my shoulder in P90X so I have to be careful with too much swinging around during…

Hi - I am Gary (GaFez), 58 years old, from Atlanta. I am an airline pilot, former Marine pilot and am currently on week two of P90X3 (going to do CVX right now). I have done P90X, Insanity, Asylum, P90X2 and now P90X3. I am in a "small challenge" group with my son-inn-law and daughter, who live in Lucca Italy. It is just…
