Woo Hoo! Finally did the last week of P90X and stuck with it!! It was NOT a perfect success. Like I said in another post there were days that had to be skipped or shortened.  I had to take a week off in December and in February for injuries which made this 13 week program about 4 months long.

I did start running again about a week ago and I’ve been running a little further without wearing out and at a slightly faster pace.  I feel stronger.

I recommend P90X off-season training for a few reasons. Read the rest of this entry

Getting into a routine with this P90X. I feel a difference but the time commitment is serious. All of the strength training days and yoga are about an hour and a half. If you do everything you are supposed to do. I find I sometimes take shortcuts with the routines and cut out some of the exercises. And only on a good week can I do ALL 6 days, often it’s 5 days. So the results are not like the commercial, but I do feel stronger.

OK finished first week of P90X.  OMG I am exhausted. Every freaking muscle is sore. But I have to say I am proud that I did do the WHOLE schedule ALL week (the workouts are 6 or 7 days a week 7th day optional).

I DID finish each DVD every day. And me and a couple of others has said they seen a difference physically in me the first week. Not HUGE,  just minor tightness. Yea, motivation!

I need to create a  base. This past summer, I’ve been working so much and with kids I really haven’t spent time training…at all. Not only do I hate the fact I did not compete this summer I feel like a sloth.

So here’s the plan.

Borrowed some P90X videos and going to spend the winter creating a base.

Right now I’m at a size 16 broaching 18 and I haven’t been running in a couple months.

Last week of November I am starting P90X and at the end of this in 3 months, 12 weeks, it will be the end of Feb and I will start tri training, run, bike, swim.
