Last week, after finally ending working the weekend overnight shift, I did my workouts for the first time in two weeks. And then I got sick. My wife and daughter had been battling some yuck, and I thought I had missed out on it -- turns out, I wasn't so lucky after all. I woke…
Day 46 of P90X+ (P360X Challenge) — A Quick Update
I'm back! I'm off the weekend overnight shift! I did Total Body Plus last night, and did about 20 minutes of Yoga this morning. After two weeks of not working out, I'm pretty stiff, so I'm going to try Yoga again this evening -- maybe talk my wife in to joining me! It looks like…
Day 48 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X & Snow Shoveling
Yesterday, Day 47, after weeks of playing catch up...I went out after work with friends and drank beer and skipped my workout. And I'm so happy I did. It was a hella-bad week at work, and it was nice to go out and throw a few back and vent. With that being said, I don't…
Day 46 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X & X3 Yoga
I'm all caught up! Today's (makeup) workout was Back & Biceps. Yesterday I said that during Phase 3, I'd remove one of the bands on my pull-up assist, but I decided there's not time like the present. I went from three bands to two and my numbers only decreased slightly! That means I'll be weaning…
Days 41-45 of P90X (P360X Challenge) – Yoga, Legs & Back, Kenpo X, Chest Shoulders & Arms, Plyometrics, Ab Ripper X
Day 41: X3 Yoga Yoga continues to be my favorite of all the workouts. Give me a chance to clear my mind and stretch. Day 42: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X I'm adding weight to the leg moves -- and even with adding 20-30 pounds, my total weight is still less than what I weighed…
Day 39 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X
Back and Biceps! One of my favorites, despite Timmy and Kaite. They're a bit distracting, especially Katie. "I don't know, Tony, how many should I do? Tee-hee!" At any rate, I continued with Wednesday's precedent of upping my weight. For this workout, I used a wide variety of weights -- from 25lbs-5lbs -- and I'm…
Days 37-38 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper X And Plyometrics
Every day I think I'm a little closer to kicking this illness. Yesterday was Day 37, Chest, Shoulders & Triceps plus Ab Ripper X. I have to say, I had a great workout. I had a lot of energy and really pushed -- which leads me to believe I'm nearly healthy again. I upped my…
Day 36 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Kenpo X
Kenpo is one of my favorite workouts, you're punching, you're kicking and time flies just like that! I didn't wear my heart rate monitor today, but that workout's usually up in the 800 calorie burn range. On a lot of the moves, especially the punch combos, I find I do a lot more than the…
Day 35 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X
It seems like with this round of P90X, I'm not happy unless I'm behind. I haven't worked out since Thursday (Yoga). We had a pretty busy weekend, and my cold came back with a vengeance, so I took it easy over the weekend -- maybe I can get healthy, once and for all. Today, I…
Day 32 of P90X (P360X Challenge) — X3 Yoga
32 days in to P90X and I still haven't done Yoga X proper. I've always swapped it out with the 30 minute X3 Yoga. Partly because, who has time for 92 minutes of Yoga, and partly because when I do the 30 minute Yoga, my wife does it with me. So, we Yogaed, I have…
