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.

The Corner: Spring Crash Training

Last month I wrote an article outlining a fairly simplistic, moderate workout schedule for indoor cycling. It was motivated by the sight of snow falling outside my window and the realization that my training was fairly limited. Since then, the daylight hours have increased, daylight savings has added an hour of afternoon daylight in North America, and Boulder (and much of the U.S.) has been experiencing exceptionally warm temperatures. It appears as if it’s time to ride again.
