Heidi’s P90X Journey – Week 1 Completed!
This is a guest post by Heidi.
Week 1 – Completed!
Well, I have survived the first week of P90X. I had good days and bad, but just the fact that I completed the whole week with no injuries, no diet disasters, no crying and no quitting makes me quite pleased with myself.
Somehow I convinced my 16 year old daughter to join me, and she has been quite a trooper. She’s done several of the workouts with me, she and her sister both did the initial fit test, and they’ve both been willing to try new foods, which is very strange for them. We have always been carboholics. Eating chicken and vegetables is a new concept. I have to say, I’m quite proud – and somewhat shocked – that they’re playing along so willingly. Thanks, girls!
This Week’s P90X Insanity Workout Schedule
I hope you had an awesome weekend! I wanted to make a quick post to commit to this week’s workouts by telling the world my P90X workout schedule for this week. I finished my second round of P90X a little over two weeks ago, and I plan on doing a P90X Insanity hybrid next. These past few weeks have been absolutely crazy, so I haven’t been able to commit to starting the hybrid yet (probably won’t be awhile before I will be able to start). During the past few weeks, I’ve basically been doing an assortment of P90X & Insanity workouts. There have honestly been days though where I haven’t worked out at all, so I’m really anxious to start the hybrid so I will have a set program to follow daily.
Here is this week’s schedule of workouts that I’m going to do-
P90X Round 2
P90X Chest and Back
Round 2 of my P90X workout has officially started! Yesterday my wife and I did the Chest & Back workout and we did Ab Ripper X. It felt so great to get back into P90X, but I have to admit the workouts kicked my butt!
P90X Day 71 Completed: Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X
I just finished my P90X workout for the day, Chest and Back & Ab Ripper X! Since this was the last time I’ll be doing Chest Back for awhile (at least until Round 2 of P90X :-) ) I wanted to make sure to “bring it” and to give it my all. I did exactly that and I pushed myself until I literally couldn’t push myself off the ground any more! I know I’ll be feeling sore from this workout for several days!
P90X Day 58 Completed: P90X Plyometrics
Today is day 58 of my P90X workout, and I just finished Plyometrics. I was sweating like crazy throughout the workout even with it being about 63 degrees in my home with the ceiling fan on high! Plyometrics was extremely tiring, but I think overall I got a pretty good workout.
P90X Day 57 Completed: Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X
P90X Chest and Back
WOW! I almost forgot how intense the Chest and Back workout was! Today is day 57 of my P90X workout, and I just finished Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X. The Chest and Back workout went great! Even though I’m still not 100% (I’ve been fighting some kind of cold or something), I gave this workout my all and made some pretty good improvements from week 3 of P90X. Depending on the exercise, I was able to add 1 to 5 more reps to each set. Also, for the Heavy Pants, Lawnmowers, and the Back Flys, I used 30 pound dumbbells instead of the 25 pound dumbbells I used during week 3.
