Scratch another workout of my P90X workout calender.

As I’m writing this P90X blog I am on day 4, week 2 of my P90X workout and I am feeling the changes already = ) It is pretty amazing that you can feel so different while just over one week into a program. Well were not talking about just any program were talking about P90X !! I think a lot of what I’m feeling is due to it being the second time so I been through it and I now know what to expect and what not to expect.

I have just recently put together a video of my P90X round 2 goals and thoughts, in case you have not seen it you can check it out here.

I’ll briefly discuss what and how I have been feeling with this second round so far and my thoughts for the upcoming weeks that seem to be coming at me at a much quicker pace than I remember previously (maybe cause I’m gettin older? naahhhh!!) Maybe I’m just actually enjoying it a bit more? if that’s possible? Don’t get me wrong the P90X program is cerainly no walk in the park BUT if you hang in there and literally just take one day at a time you will soon feel like you have not felt in some time.

What is my driving force through this round compared to the last one? Easy, it is certainly associated to the fact that I am a Independnet Team Beachbody coach in which many people look to me for advice and help on helping them reach their fitness goals and also I’m not the type of person to hawk a program or supplement for that matter and not walk the walk myself! How could I lead others if I can’t lead myself? You just can’t and shouldn’t, so thanks to you I am more motivated than ever to get great results and heck I’m even getting paid to do it!! How canyou beat that?

My biggest weaknesses still with this round as in the last will be my flexibility and pull-ups but you know what? It doesn’t matter because with this program you can modify everything as needed which doesn’t mean you can just skate through without breaking a sweat, you just want to modify the exercises enough to maintain good form and get what you need out of the exercises. Believe me by the end of each workout I am completely wasted and when it comes to bedtime I’m out like a light! Your body really feels it and looks forward to getting some much needed rest to heal itself.

Well just a short week and a half and I will be into staring my first recovery week of this P90X workout program and I can’t wait to see what this round does for my body since this time I have never been more focused and driven. The first round I got in all my workouts and followed the nutrition plan but not to a T, I slipped here and there - good, but not great. Although it was good enough to drop 25 pounds and 8% body fat but not quite enough to  get my abs to reveal themselves, so that is my ULTIMATE goal for this round and I will do everything I can to attain it. If I can get that to happen I will be one estactic person, so stay tuned and I will let you know in future P90X blog posts on how this round goes compared to my first.

If you have done one round of P90X already then congratulation to you because just making it through a program like this really is a accomplishment that you can really be proud of. Why not take what you’ve learned from the first round and give it hell with a second? I think you would really feel the difference much like I have so far. If you decide to try a second round please drop me an email and let me know I’d love to hear from you.

Till next time….

Take care of yourself and keep bringing it!!

Happy Forth of July to everyone!! Hope you’re enjoying this great holiday weekend = )

I just want to chat a bit about Beachbody’s P90X program and my P90X goals I have set for myself for this round. For those of you that have not tried this program yet you just may want to look into it because yes, it is that GOOD! 

Though not easy (and what good things if life ever come easy?) if you stick with this program as it’s intended both nutrition wise as well as showing up everyday and pushing play, the P90X results that you get are nothing short of amazing.

Yes, some people (me included) need multiple rounds to ultimately get to their desired goal(s) but so what – it’s only 90 days at a whack. In the grand scope of our lifetime that’s nothing!! I’ve sat on my ass longer than that at times! and I’m sure you have too. Heck the first round I lost 25 pounds along with 8% body fat!! Not to shabby – huh? So I’m really excited what this round has in store for me.

This second round of P90X is different for me, as I’m writing this I have only just finished my first week but I feel different already! It has been some time since I completed my first round, actually just about a year now. Although I did stay active and have done other Beachbody workouts since finishing my first round.

I think with this second just knowing what to expect going into it is HUGE unlike the first round their is so much to take in and learn at times it can be overwhelming. Maybe that’s part of the reason some people just don’t continue with the program which is a shame because if they had just sucked it up and stuck with it they would certainly be so much more ahead than probably where they are now.

My goal with this round? Well besides getting and feeling more fit I certainly want to see if I can melt the fat off from around my waist ESPECIALLY the dreaded love handles! Arrrggghhh… with us guys that’s where the fat critters love to hang out and as we age I truly feel it’s get’s even tougher to evict our fine little fat cells.

If things go as planned I would certainly be estatic if I could get my abs to reveal themselves – I just think there shy:) I have never been the type to walk around with a six pack (at least the ones we own) at least as I can remember.

So I will have to work harder than ever before, not just with the workouts but also with the nutrition because as you may or may not know our abs are certainly made in the kitchen.

So I will cerainly have updates in the coming weeks to see how the battle of the core is coming along.

So what’s your P90X goals?? better abs, fitter tighter body??  Then BRING IT!!!   and have a safe holiday!

Till the next time…..

Yep, I promise this will be the last I post on this past weekends Tony Horton’s P90X super saturday event that I was lucky enough to attend.

I have just put together a video from the day that I wanted to share with you. I didn’t get a lot of video of the actual workouts due to the fact that, well I was actually doing them! But I did manage to grab some cool video from the day.

Not sure what I’m talking about with this event? Just read the posts below where I explain everything about the experience I had with the P90X creator himself.

I hope you enjoy the video half as much as I enjoyed being there ; )

Till next time……….

Well,

Spending the day with Tony Horton and about 325 other people interested in either getting fit or keeping fit and living a healthy lifestyle was just an amazing experience! 

The event was very well organized by Tony Horton’s sister Kit which I’m sure really took some planning to pull everything off without a hitch. Along with having Tony there to give his seminar and workouts he also had his full time chef Melissa Costello there to talk about learning to eat for optimal health and wellness. So there was so much to enjoy and take in so much so unless you taped the whole day it’s tough to think of all the stuff that was done and discussed.

All of the seminars and talks took place inside the college auditorium and all of the workouts took place outside under this huge tent which was a very cool experience, it was an absolutely beautiful day weather wise. Having Tony lead the workouts front and center under the tent with all of the other people was just cool in every way, something I had never experienced before and something I hope I can certainly experience again!

 We were lucky enough to do not just one but two P90X workouts, the morning workout was a cardio based workout with a mix of just about everything , kicking, punching, plank work, jumping and on and on. Reminded me of a mix between the P90X workout Plyometrics and cardio X.

The second workout “YOGA” came in the afternoon and this one certainly isn’t my strong suit but I just showed up and did my best. Man let me tell you for those that never tried Yoga before – wow you need to! Although I’m as flexible as the tin man it is one incredible workout, you wouldn’t think just holding positions would be tough - HA! give it a try I was dripping in sweat just trying to make it through. For those of you that would feel funny about trying it at a Yoga studio for the first time (like me) P90X has a kick ass Yoga workout that you can do right in your own living room so you won’t feel embarrassed when you don’t make it 20 minutes in:) This P90X workout really gives you a taste what it’s all about and Tony SWEARS by this workout which he calls the fountain of youth!

So before I go I have to say this, if there is a Beachbody event taking place anywhere around where you live – GO! Whether you are a Beachbody coach, customer or neither you need to go to one of these events and meet the different people and feel the energy, it will be the best day you’ve had in some time I promise.  The seminars are very motivating and informative as well = ) Knowledge is POWER!

I will be putting together a short video with clips from this great day that I will be posting soon so keep checking back for that ; )

I will also be sending out in my next newsletter Tony Horton’s “11 laws of health and fitness” which I got directly from the man himself so you definitely don’t want to miss that, just get signed up for my free newsletter above to enjoy it!

Till next time…..

Hi all,

Just a short but important message for you today, I have put together a new video discussing the p90x program and exactly what p90x equipment you will need to get started on your new journey to better health and fitness.

You will need a bit more than just the P90X program itself but not to worry you truly won’t need to go out and buy yourself a small gym to do this program. Some pieces of equipment are certainly optional depending on personal preference but other pieces are a must have. I know that they do mention what you’ll need some equipment in the infomercials but for the most part I don’t think people (including myself) really understand what they will need while ordering the program until it has arrived to their home and they read through the program information.

I know that with plunking down your hard earned money on a fitness program not knowing or expecting to have to run out and need to purchase more items other than the program itself  just so you can get the ball rolling can be a little frustrating and is probably not exactly what you really want to do.

So I thought this video would be a great idea and would help inform you of exactly what’s needed and what is not. So if you have already ordered the program you can get yourself set-up before your dvd’s arrive or if you haven’t yet decided on trying P90X because you think you don’t have or don’t want to spend a lot of money on the extra equipment required for the program this information may just help you make your decision=)

Enjoy your journey to better health!!

 Take care of yourself….
