My P90X Story: Day 12

Well.....There was a tone of stuff going on this day....and we got home too late and didn't do the workout. I will get up and do it tomorrow morning. Just had too much going on today and no energy by the time we had time to do it tonight (around 10:30).

My P90X Story: Day 11

Did Ab Ripper X this morning as promised to make up for missing it last night. Can I just say that fatigue must be part of the effectiveness of that work out, because it was waaaay easier this morning than it is doing it right after some other work out.

Had a rough time getting the kids in bed tonight, so I didn't get started on Yoga X until almost 9:30 PM which means I just barely finished it an hour ago. I feel hungry. Don't know if that is because I am know not getting enough to make it through the work outs or if I am just staying up too late and so I start to feel hungry.

Legs and Back tomorrow. Should be fun. Almost done with Week 2. Excited because the workouts seem to be easier, even though I am doing either as much weight or more and the same number of reps or more for pretty much every workout. Amazing, but there seems to be a difference even after just one week. No real visible difference yet though, but I definitely feel different.

My P90X Story: Day 10

Shoulders and arms today. Pretty difficult, but I pushed through it. Feel a little like I'm cheating though. I am doing Ab Ripper X tomorrow morning instead of tonight. I got off work late, and didn't get to have dinner before I started the workout. Eating dinner now at nearly 11:00 PM. Really feeling too weak to do Ab Ripper tonight. I will do it tomorrow.

I feel pretty good about the workouts. Feel like I am able to push a little harder this week than I could the first week. Still annoyed about the weight situation (having to change it so often), but knowing what I did the time before makes it a little easier and less time consuming.

Don't know if I can see a difference yet in my appearance, but I feel different. This week is definitely not making me as sore, even though I am doing as many reps or more and often with more weight. I just feel like my body can handle it a little better. Already 1/9 of the way done.

My P90X Story: Day 9

I don't know why, but for some reason I was really looking forward to this workout. I was actually kind of excited. It was still killer, and I'm sure that I will feel it tomorrow, I think the Plyo X workout is my favorite even though they say it is probably the hardest.

We kept pace pretty good. Only paused for a few extra seconds a couple of times. Pushed all the way through. Sweat so much it was like I had taken a shower with my shirt on.

The biggest thing that I have noticed so far about the second week compared to the first week: I look forward to the workouts and we do them faster because we know for the most part what to expect. We'll see if that holds up as we get to some of the more "technical" workouts like Yoga X and Kenpo X. For some reason those were just really hard to me the first time through.

My P90X Story: Day 8

Felt great this morning after the day of rest. So good in fact that I decided to go and play basketball for an hour and a half with the fellas. It was good, I played okay, especially for having not played for several weeks now.

Totally hammered the workout tonight. Felt great. It was good knowing what to expect. It helped speed things up a bit. Pushed ourselves harder than we did the first day. Still felt good at the end of it. Just about died trying to do Ab Ripper X though. I struggle with that one. I am obviously not very strong in the core (or I just have too much weight?). I'm sure that I will be feeling it tomorrow. Looking forward to the rest of the week and seeing if any of the other workouts seem "easier".

My P90X Story: Day 7

REST....What a wonderful word. It was an amazing day of rest. No stretching, no workout, just Church and time with the family.

My P90X Story: Day 6

Can I just say that I feel extremely uncoordinated after doing this workout? I have never done any sort of "martial arts" before. This was a really hard workout, mostly in the coordination of moving hands and feet. It was very awkward at first, but I soft of got the hand of it by the time we got toward the end.

I have noticed that for the "cardio" days I definitely sweat a lot. I must be really out of shape. Not much to say about this workout. It was good. Taking day 7 off (not even any stretching). Start it all again on Monday.
