Short post tonight. I’ve had a productive (but busy) night working with people on their goals for fitness, weight loss, building a business, etc, so I’m behind in my normal activities. Today, I increased carbs. Only to around 108g total. Tomorrow, though, is a long day for me. P90X Legs and Back and then PT [...]
So one of the difficulties I have being a Team Beachbody coach and going Primal is how to incorporate Shakeology. It has some ingredients that are not necessarily “primal” friendly, but the overall content of the shake is just too good to let 2 or 3 small amounts of ingredients ruin the entire usefulness of [...]
So didn’t get a chance to blog yesterday, so writing a bit today about P90X. Yesterday was day 15, Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X. Put it this way: I’m more sore today…the day AFTER, than I was the day after last week. Pushed harder on my push-ups, worked harder on my pull-ups. Hoping this [...]
P90X Legs and Back day….I used to dread this day. And, in some aspects, I still do. To me, this is the hardest workout in phase 1. It’s intense, it burns a lot of calories, and usually leaves me shaky and gasping for air throughout the routine. And today was no different. My legs were [...]
Wow, day 8 already. P90X week 1 went by fast! Back to push-ups and pull-ups today. Day 8 of P90X’s Chest and Back workout was INTENSE today. I learned that I really need to eat half a banana or something before doing this routine. I was pretty wasted by the end (we did do Ab [...]
Wow…P90X day 3 was rough. Last night was a rough night with two of our daughters, so 5am was a bit tough. But got up and did it, and was quite pleased with my weights. My shoulder started off tight again on the shoulder presses. Diet was on today, but might have been a bit [...]
So, I disappeared for a while and took care of some personal things but continued to exercise up until vacation. And even on vacation I did several days of workouts. I did eat bad on vacation and put a bit of weight back on, but nothing major. Today, my wife and I started P90X together. [...]
I’m the first to admit when a day of P90X isn’t my best. Today….wasn’t my best. By far. I woke up tired. A 20 month old kicking you all night is not a good way to stay rested. So everything felt off: Ab Ripper was marginal, Legs and Back was just brutal. The only bright [...]
So, after a horrible end to last week, I pick back up on the muscle confusion with P90X Ab Ripper X, Chest Shoulders and Triceps today. Ab Ripper went well. I think I did all but 17 of the reps across all the routine. CST was quite an adventure. Some of my reps were down. [...]
Today marked the start of P90X phase 3, where you are constantly working the muscles in the upper body differently and thoroughly confusing the you-know-what out of them. So here’s the breakdown of how it went today: Ab Ripper X – Push hard. Push REALLY hard. Chest And Back – Pushed REALLY hard. In fact, [...]
