Yikes–it appears I haven’t updated my blog in quite some time . . . sorry folks! All I can say is that life has been busy and I just haven’t had time to check in here as often as I should! However, I’m still pressing play even though I think I’ve reached the doldrums of [...]
One thing I’ve learned after 40 days of P90X is that if the title of the workout includes the word “chest” you should be prepared to do a lot of push-ups. If you’re wimpy like me, you can probably only do a few (or a couple?) push-ups the traditional way before morphing into burnt toast. [...]
It’s really late so this post is probably going to be short but I wanted to write an update before too much time slipped away. Today I completed Week 5 of my first round of P90X. I say “first round” because I’m working under the assumption that I’ll most likely be doing a second round [...]
Wow, I just realized as I sat down to start writing this post that today is Day 30 of my first round of the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Program. Woot! Yesterday was my first day of Week 5 and my first time doing the Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout. Since I didn’t know what to [...]
Well, I somehow managed to make it through Phase 1 of my first round with P90X. Although, the past couple days have been pretty rough. When I woke up yesterday I was in the worst pain I’ve been in since starting P90X. When I went to bed Friday night my back felt a little sore [...]

The reason why so many people hate yoga and P90X Yoga X in particular is because it’s hard. Guess what people, the reason why you’re doing P90X is to get into shape. If you’re already flexible and in shape then you don’t need yoga! If Yoga X doesn’t make you uncomfortable then guess what–you’re already [...]
Wow. So a couple days ago I had my first encounter with Core Synergistics. I was expecting this workout to be tough. But not that tough! Let’s just say–it was the first time I ever felt sick to my stomach during a workout and wanted to cry. I think it started somewhere between the Sphinx [...]
During the 13 Week P90X program there are 3 recovery weeks. Now, don’t get too excited. Recovery is not the same thing as REST. Nope! Recovery week is simply about allowing your muscles to recover from the hard resistance training you did during the previous weeks. The mental break is also very beneficial!
Today is my first day of Week 4 doing P90X. Week 4 is considered a recovery week, but I’m not expecting it to be easy. There are two days of Yoga X and two days of Core Synergistics. I haven’t done the Core workout yet (my first time is tomorrow) but word on the streets [...]
