An Update is needed

Damn..wish I could say, “Hey, I started P90X almost 85 days ago…and I am right on track for my 90th day”.
Unfortunately, not. I stopped about 1 1/2 weeks ago at Week 7, not by my own accord but life responsibilities have kicked in…and unless I want to kill myself with 4-5 hours of sleep a [...]

P90X Classic Day 43 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps – Ab Ripper X

Last night I completed Day 43 of my P90X Classic program. It’s the final week before recovery week.
I think I got a bit farther on my push-ups this week compared to last. I added a few more reps, but I still had to revert to doing them on my knees through most of the workout.
I [...]

P90X Classic Day 42 – Rest or X Stretch

Today is day 42. It is kind of hard to justify a “rest” day when in a week, I might not be able to knock out a P90X session each day, so I kind of have 1-2 rest days in a week, however I just tend to have a lot going on.
As mentioned earlier, I [...]

P90X Progress Pictures – Day 42

This week has been somewhat hit and miss. I haven’t been able to dedicate every day to P90X…so I have had a couple days in between a few workouts. I am quite flexible and get in stretching whenever I can almost every day, so I have not utilized Stretch X. I have also been bad [...]

P90X Classic Day 41 – Kenpo X with punching bag

For a couple weeks in a row, I have chosen to go at my punching bag for my Kenpo X session. I spent about 40 minutes working on a combination of punches and kicks. I really feel good after a punching bag session.
Nothing else much to report on this one.

P90X Classic Day 40 – Legs and Back – BOOM goes the dynamite

So last night I had a fantastic session of Legs and Back. It’s actually one of the first sessions I have had that I walked away thinking…”damn that was some progress”.
Case in point, for most of the lunges I used 20lb dumbbells whereas before I was using either 15lbs or none. Then for the lateral [...]

P90X Classic Day 39 – Yoga X – Skipped

I had a lot going on this day, I wasn’t able to perform the Yoga X session.

P90X Classic Day 38 – Back and Biceps

My energy level today was a bit better then it was the last two workouts. I also was able to “up” my weight a bit on certain sets. On the lawnmowers I was able to go up to 25lbs. On many of the curls, I was able to use 20lbs. I was doing 20lbs on [...]

P90X Classic – Day 37 – Plyometrics – Dragging ass

So the good news. I burned about 1080 calories during this workout. In fact, that is the most single set of calories I have ever burned during P90X. I am not really sure why to be honest, since on average its between 850-900. One theory is I significantly lowered my caffeine intake and so that [...]

P90X Classic Day 36 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps

So I began Week #6 this evening with a grueling Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout. I also included Ab Ripper X at the end.
I think my body trying to regulate itself after greatly reducing my caffeine intake (for those keeping score at home, 400mg down to 30mg now per day) probably doesn’t help my energy [...]
