Days Forty Five, Six, Seven – P90X

by sixpackjourney on July 3, 2009

Half way there!  I’m still feeling under the weather and didn’t get my Back and Biceps workout in this week.  My plan is to drop it in on Sunday as I took a “rest day” on Wednesday after killing myself in Plyo.

I’m recovering nicely from my illness and was actually able to get in a solid round of Yoga X yesterday followed by a round of golf, then a run in the evening!  I have some family in town so I didn’t have to go into the office and my father-in-law and I hit the links.  It was quite fun!

My run was as bit tough to push out, however once I got about 10 minutes into it, I think my body fell into a bit of a rhythm and it became quite a bit easier.  This mornings Legs and Back routine was solid, I felt pretty good and actually was able to push my pull-ups reps to the highest yet!

Next week is recovery, and I hoping to break 20 pounds lost by the 60th day mark!  So far, so good!  Keep pushing play, and bring it!

Days Forty One, Two, Three and Four – P90X

June 30, 2009

I’m sick.
My family has had a nasty little bug and it finally worked its way up to me.  I was pretty much laid out this weekend and didn’t get my Kempo-X in on Saturday.  I did get a good walk in, but couldn’t even muster up a run.
As for Sunday, I took it as a [...]

Day Forty – P90X

June 26, 2009

I’m getting pretty darn close to half way through the first round of P90X and am loving it.  This morning was Legs and Back, a fantastic workout.
I had a rough time with this workout today.  Last night, before going to sleep I jumped on the treadmill and knocked out a nice solid run.  I wanted [...]

Another P90X Day in the books – Day Thirty Nine

June 25, 2009

Yoga X – rocked out and finished.  This was a pretty tough one this morning.  I worked pretty hard hard to push it out.  I did have a few poses that were really tough, but it is consistently getting better.
My flexibility is getting consistently better, and that is quite nice.  I’m still a bit to [...]

Days Thrity Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven and Eight – P90X

June 24, 2009

Wow… I’m way behind arn’t I!  So here is the review…
Friday – Legs and Back:  Great workout!  I really pushed this one hard and hammered out the leg work.  The pull-ups kicked my butt as usual, but I’m getting a lot better at them and hammering out a lot more reps.
Saturday – Second 5k in [...]

Day Thirty Two – P90X

June 18, 2009

Yoga, yoga, yoga. Last night was a little baby nightmare, so I tried to sleep in this morning.  As a result, I didn’t get my Yoga in this morning.  Not to worry, I planned that out.  Given that I don’t have school this week, I completed my Yoga this evening after putting our little guy [...]

30 Days of P90X – Stats

June 17, 2009

Total weight loss: 11.6 pounds, using averages (the way I measure it) 10.5 pounds.
Body fat: Down 1.5%, 1.1% average
Muscle mass: Up .4%, .5% average
Because at home scales are a little goofy on daily measurements, I prefer to use 5 day averages for my calculations.  That gives me a better feel of what is actually happening [...]

Hit the treadmill and like it…

June 17, 2009

This evening I opted for a treadmill run, rather than a cruise around the neighborhood.  I have no idea if I run harder on the treadmill, but it sure feels like it.  I was pushing a 90/90 run/walk for 20 minutes with a five minute warm-up/cool-down.  It was a rocking 30 minute run, and hard [...]

Day Thrity One – P90X

June 17, 2009

Back and Biceps today – rocking workout!  Tony and the “kids” had the comedy hour going this morning.  The jokes were not the best, but they kept things interesting for the first time through this monster of a workout.
I hammered out quite a few pull-ups and got slaughtered in my curls with my 35lbs weights.  [...]

Day 30 – P90X

June 16, 2009

I’m officially 1/3 of the way through and I can feel the changes happening in my body every day.  Take today for example…. I am starving.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m packing down some serious calories, but I am flat out starving.  So much in fact that I just went downstairs to our little [...]
