P90X - Plyometrics - Day 2

Man-O-Manechevitz!!! ( I know that it's spelled Manischewitz) lol


The key word for today.... INTENSITY!!!!

I brought the guns with me today... I made sure I lifted higher... pushed myself a little bit more.

And felt the difference.... At the 24 minute mark... I thought that I was gonna hurl... FOR REAL!

Then I remember when Tony, at the beginning of the video, said... GET YA BUCKET!

I truly know what he meant by that now.

But do I ever feel wonderful!!!!

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 16

Yet another morning that my alarm goes off and I have had less than six hours of sleep.

I was so disoriented. I purposely keep my alarm clock in the bathroom (which is right next to my bedroom) so that I have to get up and move around in order to turn that thing off. At 5:30 in the morning... If that was in my bedroom I would turn it off and roll right back to la la land... lol

So I get up and walk with my eyes closed... to turn it off.

AND THEN I PRESS PLAY!!!!!

Evil... Evil... Evil...

Plyo & Nausea are synonymous for me... BUT not nearly as bad as week 1!!!!!

I'm getting stronger... my form is getting better... And I am hella excited about that.

There are a few moves where I can't leave the ground just yet but I just modify those and get on my tippy toes and reach as high as I can.

I'll be airborne soon with those....

I'll get you Tony Horton... next time

Oh yeah... There will be a next time...
This ain't over until the fat lady sings... Lucky for me buy the time I start singin'... I won't be a fat lady any more... lol

Oh BTW... I added a couple
of items to my page if you hadn't noticed. There's a page counter, and there is a link that will allow you to add me to your favorite RSS feeder.

Have an awesome Monday Folx

P90X - Classic - Char's Day 9

Plyo is still the devil...

But this morning I went down there with my grillin' fork to fight 'em off!!!!

I still giggled when Tony cussed... That was the highlight of my workout..

Oh that.... and the fact that your girl made it *almost* to the end of her workout without feeling like the Plyo minions had stolen all of the oxygen out of my living room!

So while I still had 14 minutes to go... there were two things that I took note of...

  1. I did twenty minutes more than I did last week
  2. I only felt like nauseous at the 40 minute mark!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo You know what that means... There is hope for this Fluffy Chic... Who won't be so fluffy for that much longer!

Keep Pressing Play Folx! It works.... If YOU work!

*You know how those twelve step programs have, well, 12 steps?

Well each of those P90X videos represents a step for me!!!!! You think its a coincidence that there are 12 videos? I think not.... P90X is therpeutic for me!

I know I won't be bikini ready in 90 days but my life has already been transformed in just 9!!!

Be Blessed and Have a Fabulous Monday!

(Great workout this morning in WOWY hhardy, ttutt, busybee1415, bazookajeff, and FarmerTed).

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!
