P90X - Classic - Char's Day 10

Whew!!!! Whew!!! Whew!!!

I woke up this morning with a killer headache around midnight... You ever get one of those? I can honestly say that I haven't had a significant headache since I began P90X so it was a surprise when I woke up feeling like a mule had just kicked the hell outta my right temple.

I managed to get back to sleep and woke up at 5:20 to prepare for Shoulder's & Arms...

This workout isn't awful by any means. There are two parts that I really struggled with last week and struggled with this week as well but I was able to complete more reps and add the 15lb resistance bands to... So I know I'm getting stronger....

I still haven't touched Ab Ripper X... I know that will kill me for sure when I add it next week.

Great seeing you all in WOWY (ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, FarmerTed). It really makes me smile.

Keep Pressing Play... Even when there's a mule in the room... lol

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 6

*NOTE TO SELF... PURCHASE RECOVERY DRINK A.S.A.P.*

Kenpo kicked my A$ this morning... I was in the midst of it and still didn't see that ish coming.

There were a couple of the "twisty" type moves that I couldn't do precisely the way that Tony and his crew were doing... but I did those without twisting my ankles.

Oh yeah... and those "X" jacks?????

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!! I did ONE the entire workout... the other times I marched and did knee lifts or walked around...

To say I survived Kenpo is a gross overstatement... I sat down after I was done and couldn't believe how my body felt afterwards... At one point I started giggling... not because anything humorous had happened... I was cracking up in disbelief that I... The Fluffy Girl from Philly... Had completed SIX CONSECUTIVE days of X-treme physical activity... WOWOWOWOWOW!

This one wiped me out and it has never felt so good... I will be purchasing the recovery drink this week... If I had to goto work right after this workout I would have been miserable... Luckily I have a three day weekend!!!!! As soon as I got my wits about me... I planted my butt right in the bed for three hours... lol

I'm up and ready for my X Stretch tomorrow. Saw a couple of you in WOWY this morning... I didn't workout until 7:45 this morning... but that was because I didn't have to get ready for work!

Oh BTW feel free to add me as a buddy on here or on Yahoo (nu_aka). A few of you already have!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 4

If Plyo is the devil... Yoga X is certainly one of it's minions.

Up until I "met" Tony via P90X... I considered myself pretty flexible. I even own a couple of Yoga/Pilates videos. I knew that I have some balance issues and anticipated being a bit "wobbly". I guess when I think about it... It has been a while since I've done any significant Yoga or Pilates.

I made it through half of the Yoga X. It's a 90 minute set... I made it to 45 minutes. Not because I was tired but mainly due to the fact that my balance/posture won't allow me to do some of the moves that are being done... Today... Trust me when I tell you that I WILL get though this video eventually. As my strength and coordination builds.... and my belly and/or boobs (get in the way of most of the poses) begin to tone.... I will be waiting for Tony at the finishline.... Telling him to "Get It Up!" and take a water break if he needs it... hahahahahaha

Y'all hear me talking smack???

My journey is going to take me a lot longer than 90 days. It took me way more than 90 days to abuse my body until it got to this point... It would be insane for me to think that it would be a cake-walk to reverse the affects of poor diet and sporadic exercise.

Like I said before... this is a lifestyle change... and I'm on my way...

KEEP PUSHING PLAY....

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 3

Ok...

So I woke up this morning thinking I was doing Yoga X only to discover (after viewing my trusty calander/spreadsheet) that I was actually supposed to do Shoulders & Arms.

So... At 5:30 this morning I was trying to wrap my brain around that little fact and making sure I cue'd up the appropriate video.

Got that sorted out. Had the correct worksheet up on my screen and was finally able to log into the Work Out With You (WOWY) feature on the Team Beachbody website. Check the links in the Cookie Jar on the right.

I OFFICIALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Now I may feel differently when I add the resistance bands to it next week but as it stands right now. I can do Shoulders and Arms ALL DAY!!!

I was even able to do the bonus round. What I wasn't able to do was the Ab Ripper. I'm going to have to give that a whirl next week I suppose. After that hour of Shoulders & Arms my body was wasted. That additional 25 minutes of Abs just seamed like a bear.

I WILL BEAT IT!

I totally enjoyed todays workout and surprised myself with my ability to complete two of the exercises today!

I'm typing this with my phone so if the formatting looks Crazy I'll clean it up when I get into the office.

I'm at the dentist right now about to get the left half of my mouth scaled. I had the right done last week and it was no fun.

See you guys soon.

Remember...

KEEP PUSHING PLAY!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 2

Plyometrics is the devil incarnate!!!!!!

Evil I tell ya!

Even Tony cussed in it... (Sh... I mean Jeepers... lol)

For the uninitiated... It is basically Jump Training... gravity is not your friend!

My chest burned... and I felt like I was going to vomit at the 15 minute mark.

I see why Tony says that this workout is the "X" in P90X!

My friggin arms feel like jello. And this is primarily a leg workout!

Man am I out of shape.

He suggested that if you can't do the Plyometrics that you could substitute it for the Cardio X disc... I may do just that next week. I figure either way I'm gonna feel like I gotta vomit... so I'm going to stick with the Plyometrics and hope that I can make it to the end of it eventually ( I was burnt out by the time we completed the warm up. ) BUT I pressed through another 15 minutes before I had to call it quits...

Next time... I'll do much more... I know it!

Oh... did I mention that there is a dude in the video with a prosthetic leg?????

He was getting busy man!

I got a loooooong way to go... But I'm going to Keep Pressing Play!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 1

You ever had your ego shattered and you were the only one in the room?

Well that has been my experience this morning....

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW (a'la Flava Flav)

I made it through both rounds of the the Chest & Back video.

Since my Resistance Bands haven't arrived yet I modified it a bit.

I did it with no weights and I don't have a chin up bar. (My resistance bands will do the job of both of these when they arrive sometime this week.

I surprised myself at how many push ups I was able to do over the course of the entire workout (73) I have very little upper body strength and ZERO core strength.

After an hour of the Chest & Back... I didn't have the strength to complete the 20 minute Ab Ripper X.

My goal the next time I do the Chest & Back is to add on more rep to each of the excercises. There were for exercises that I couldn't do at all (wide front pull-ups, Reverse Grip Chin-Ups, Closed Grip Overhand Pull-ups, Decline Push-ups, Dive-Bomber Push-ups, Ab Ripper X)... but I am not going to be too down about it. I did more in this one workout than I have in most of the exercising that I have ever done.

I know that all of the chin-ups will be done the next time because I will have my Resistance Bands by the next time... as my strength builds... I'll be able to do those other three.

I am going to buy that recovery drink and the performance bars from the beach body site... or maybe I'll see what GNC has available... apparently the one on the BeachBody site is pretty good... and specially formulated for the P90X workout... I was feeling nausea during the workout... so I know I need something more than water to get me through.

Can't wait to see what my girls post regarding there experience with the Core Synergenics workout.

All in all... I am excited... and tired as hell! See ya tomorrow folx!
