P 90 X

So I have a new motivation for exercise and it came in the form of P90x. For those of you who don't know what p90 is- you really should brush up on your current infomercials.

The basics of the program are the following and hopefully Tony will be proud of my knowledge:

1. 90 day program
2. muscle confusion- 3 weeks of intense workouts, 1 recovery week, 3 weeks of different intense workouts, 1 recovery week, lastly- 3 weeks of different intense workouts and a last recovery week.

Most people that know me know I am the queen of getting pumped up about exercising and then getting way bored after a couple of weeks- Leo can seriously testify of this. Buuuuut- this time I'm for real. Lol.

I started June 1st. I'm pretty bored so I'm gonna explain all of my daily workouts to y'all.

Day 1- Core Synergistics- Boo, the first dvd hated me. This was hard, I can't even explain it because most of the time I was just staring at the tv trying to figure out what the heck they were doing. I'm doing it again tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.

Day 2- Cardio X- this dvd rocked! It was just lots of intense cardio

Day 3- Shoulders & arms- most of this was lifting weights and it was good stuff. I barely used any weight because I didn't know how hard it would be and it was too easy, I'm gonna add more this upcoming week.

Day 4- Yoga- oh yoga, sure lots of people like you but my unflexible unbalanced body doesn't. But since those are the things that yoga will help with, I suffered through a 1/3 of this dvd. Dude, it's 1 1/2 hrs long!

Day 5- Legs & Back- this was good stuff! I had to do pullups and lots of them, luckily I had one leg on a chair so it wasn't that hard. Either way, this one was a favorite of mine!

Day 6- Kenpo- this is basically kickboxing which I looove! I feel so rough n tough when I'm punching but I know if there were a mirror around, the mirror would laugh at how pathetic my punches are.

Day 7- rest

So this is how it will be for the next 2 weeks! I'll update on Recovery week- I know you all will want to know about it.
