P90X Catchup Post – P90X While Sick

March 3rd, 2010

Well, a few minor snags with P90X at the end of phase 2 and so far the start of phase 3.

I ended last week with bronchitis. Did not exercise this Monday (start of phase 3) due to feeling like death. On Tuesday, I did Chest and Back at about 80%, slightly tweaked a muscle in my back, and then only made it halfway through Ab Ripper due to still being dizzy from the coughing and medicine I’m taking.

Last night I went to bed feeling a bit funny and I knew what I had: Stomach bug.

Sure enough, woke up this morning and was sick, but not too bad. Still pressed play on Plyo….for about 30 minutes, and then was just too dizzy and weak to continue.

Here’s the thing: It happens. I’m not going to beat myself up over this. In fact, I had already made the decision to repeat this week so I can push at 100% after I get back from going to a Zurvita convention.

So I’ll be blogging more regularly next week, but will be out of pocket the next several days.

By the way, if you are reading this and looking for some information on P90X or BeachBody in general, connect with me on TeamBeachBody.com.  My name is coachbrentw.

If you are looking to purchase P90X, I’d love the chance to be your “coach” on this.  I think my journey gives me a lot to teach others about exercising, nutrition, and doing your best.

You can visit my personal BeachBody website to get a few more details, but I would love the chance to connect with you and show you want you can do with BeachBody, their products, and in particular, P90X.

P90X Day 18 – Yoga X..And Why You Should Not Work Out Sick

April 3rd, 2009

I’m a bit behind on blogging, mainly due to being sick.  Yesterday was P90x Yoga X.  I woke up feeling a bit off, and about 20-30 minutes into the exercise realized that I was not at 100% and was getting dizzy.

But I pushed through until Yoga Belly 7 and then had to stop before I passed out.

No, I do not believe Yoga is what did it to me but rather illness.

I’ll post later with how Day 19 was (since it is now Day 19), but realize that if you are only 70-80% like I was, you may want to rest and get to feeling better before attempting P90X for that day.
