...BRING IT!



Jackie and I started the P90X system this past Friday. For those of you that do not know what the P90X system is check this LINK out. This system has been around for a few years now and people genuinely have spectacular results. There is nothing crazy about the system...just a lot of hard work (6x a week) and a very sensible nutrition plan. We have been eating very health for the past 5years so this part is not a stretch for us. What will be difficult is the workouts! 

Here is what we face over the next 3 weeks:

Weeks 1, 2, and 3


Day 1 – Chest and Back, plus Ab Ripper X

Day 2 – Plyometrics

Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X

Day 4 – Yoga X

Day 5 – Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X

Day 6 – Kenpo X

Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch

The workouts revolve around about a million push ups per session, pull ups, free weight work, squats of various variety and a lot of high heart rate movement.

Plyometrics...is essentially "jump training". You load and unload the muscles you're working in a very "quick" manner.  

Ab ripper X is a 20 minute ab workout that will make you cry like a baby!

Kenpo X is based on kick boxing, karate and a crazy amount of CARDIO!

Updates will come much faster now that the school year is over and all I have to focus on is parenting, domestic stuff (I'm trained well!) and working out...oh ya and university until the end of July! Keep an eye open for my before pictures which may appear soon. (uggg!)

See you next time!
