I shaved off my beard last night. I haven't seen my naked face in about two-and-a-half years and about 30lbs ago. Even at that point, I was probably about 20lbs over my ideal weight. So seeing my naked face with about 50lbs too many has been a sobering experience. December 2019 Looking back on this…
P90X3 Accelerator, CVX
Today we have a double post! No, I didn't do two workouts today, but rather a workout last night, and one this morning. I did X3 Accelerator last night as soon as I got home from work, then as soon as I was done, I had to run out again, so I didn't have a…
P90X3 The Warrior
It was another beautiful day to workout in the outdoors! And not only did I workout outside, but I did one of my favorite routines ever -- P90X3 The Warrior. 30 minutes of total body body weight moves. Push-ups, MMA, plyo, core -- what's not to love? Each move is about a minute and the…
P90X2 X2 Total Body + X2 Ab Ripper, P90X3 Isometrix
Hi everyone! Sorry that it's been a few days since my last update. I got in a late workout on Friday -- P90X2 Total Body and X2 Ab Ripper. As you can see I got it done in an hour, thanks to fast forwarding between exercises -- there's as much as 45 seconds of downtime…
P90X2 X2 Balance + Power
Second workout of the day! If you read today's earlier post, P90X3 X3 Yoga, you know I've swapped around my schedule to make sure I hit all of my workouts -- if you didn't read it, here's what's going on: Today I was supposed to do X2 Total Body + X2 Ab Ripper, BUT because…
P90X3 X3 Yoga
Another outdoors workout for me today! It was such a beautiful morning, why not doing some X3 Yoga outside, breathing fresh air and listening to the birds? Better than being in a cramped living room breathing A/C and listening to the TV from the other room. Again, sometimes it's not about burning all the calories…
P90X3 Total Synergistics
I can't believe it's already the start of week three! Where has the time gone? While I was doing today's Total Synergistics workout, I kept feeling like I had just done this one -- but it really was seven days ago. Time flies, I guess. I didn't burn as many calories today as I normally do…
P90X3 X3 Yoga
Sometimes it's not about burning calories. Sometimes you just need a nice, relaxing 30 minutes of stretching, and that's what X3 Yoga is all about. Yes, there are some challenging moves in it, and you do have sweat pouring off you, but that's not the point. You're busy unlocking all of those tight spots; in…
P90X3 Total Synergistics
Week two is here already! I'm enjoying this hybrid program of mine much more than I enjoyed Insanity and T25. (And again, I can't say enough that they are great programs, they just weren't for me!) I really like having a three week schedule -- you know what's coming up, then on that fourth week,…
My Fitness Journey So Far: A Look Back Over The Past Two Years
Two years ago today I set out to actually complete a workout program. I had toyed with P90X off and on for about six years, getting a handful of weeks in to it and not seeing the instant results which were promised in the commercials. Then in the fall of 2013, I really buckled down. I…
