On October 29th I posted a picture on Instagram saying that
P90X is starting in our house tomorrow. Well it did!! On October 30th I did my
very first P90X workout. I really wasn't planning on blogging about this
experience but I've had a lot of curiosity on how my progress is going so far.
With that being said I'm going to start doing weekly updates every Friday on
how things are going, how I'm felling, ect.
I encourage you to come along of this journey with me as I complete my
first attempt at P90X.
P90X is a set of workout DVD's that you do every day for 90
days. On day one we started with Chest & Back followed by ad ripper. I
started this day out a little slow, I don't typically do a lot of arm workouts
so I would say that's probably one of the weakest parts on my body. I did the entire
workout but did less weight than I probably could have.
Day two we did plyometrics, this one is no joke! You
basically jump around for an hour and it's no picnic. Get ready to feel the
burn and sweat it out! I really hurt after this day.
Day three we went to shoulders & arms followed by another ab
ripper. My arms were soar for the previous days so I had to back off a little
during the workout and the ab one is definably tough. As Tony Horton says on
the DVD "Ab ripper X, I hate it but I love it" I have the same
feeling about that workout.
Day four Yoga, I really enjoy yoga and have done several yoga
class in the past. I very much enjoyed this as I felt it was a nice break and
allowed you to stretch it out.
Day five Legs & Back followed by ab ripper. I really
enjoyed this combo. Being a runner and cyclist I think my legs are the
strongest part of my body. I was defiantly
able to challenge myself here and push the workout a little.
Day six Kenpo, this is an intense cardio workout so get ready
to sweat!
Day seven you have two options either take a rest day or do the
stretching DVD. I wanted to follow the stretch DVD, however, I came down with a
slight cold that has been going around the office so I decided the smarter
decision was to take the day off.
All and all I would say week 1 was a success and I am ready
for week two! If you are curious about anything I didn't put in my update
please leave it in the comments below and I'll include it next Friday.
