Heidi – P90X Week 2 Completed!
This is a guest post by Heidi.
I’m glad that week 2 is over. I had trouble this week, but I still made it through. Not only did I make it through, but I’m improving, so that is encouraging. Improving slowly, but still improving.
I realized this week that I’m actually going to have to purchase some heavier dumbbells. For the record, I only had girly dumbbells, 3, 5 and 8 pounds before, so I’m not that strong yet, but it’s still progress. I found some 10 pounders at WalMart last night for a decent price, so I’m set for week 3. That sure sounds wussy when I see it in writing, but double-digit dumbbells are better than a double-digit wardrobe, so that’s my focus. Increase the number on the dumbbells and decrease the number on the tags in my clothes.
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!
Heidi’s P90X Workout Journey
This is a guest post by Heidi.
I am no athlete. Let’s just get that out in the open right now. I ran track in the 7th grade, but that’s just because it was the only sport you didn’t have to try out for. After coming in dead last in every race, I gave up on my career as a runner. I took an Irish Dance class and competed for about 6 years, starting when I was 29. I enjoyed it a great deal, but it was hard on my joints. I’m getting old. I gave it up a few years ago, and I’ve been putting on the pounds slowly ever since.
I’ve always wanted to be fit, but have never made it a priority. Actually, let me take that back. It’s not that I necessarily wanted to be fit – it’s that I don’t want to look like a middle-aged mom with a muffin top. Vain? Yes, I know. But – I am tired of looking in the mirror and being disgusted with myself. I’m not huge, I realize that. I’m just squishy and bigger than I’d like to be.
P90X With 2 Free Workouts
I wanted to let everyone know that I got an email from Team Beachbody letting me know that they’ve got a new awesome deal going on. When you buy the P90X workout from a great Coach like myself :-) , you will get 2 free workout DVD’s! These DVD’s are from P90X One on One. You will be getting the Fountain of Youth DVD, perfect for when you don’t have enough time to do Yoga X, and you will be getting Mammoth UML (an upper, middle and lower workout), which is great if you are on the road away from your home. This is a $40 value that is free just for ordering from a Coach.
Just in case you don’t know anything about P90X, it’s a 90 days fitness program that will get you into the best shape of your life! It whopped me into shape! I lost 11 pounds, lost 2 inches in my waist and I went from 14.50% body fat to about 10% body fat. If I can do it, then you definitely can too!
So if you’ve been on the fence about ordering P90X, or just haven’t ordered it yet, take a second and go ahead and purchase it now. If you commit to the 90 days and your bring it, then you will succeed!
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 Spreadsheet
I’ve gotten some questions on how to use the P90X excel spreadsheet so I decided I’d make a video to show everyone the basics of getting it setup. I don’t personally use this spreadsheet, but a lot of people do and they love using it to help keep them on the right path and to track their progress with the P90X workout. Check out the video below, and then make sure to sign up for a free Beachbody account if you haven’t done so already to have me as your personal success coach!
