This is the last week of Power90 for us. We're starting P90X on Saturday! As I mentioned yesterday, the box was waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home from work on Tuesday. I read through the manuals last night and I can't wait to get started! We're waiting for Saturday so that our off-days will be on Fridays. That seems to be the day that I come down with a major case of the "fuck-its," especially when things are super busy at work, like they have been lately. That way I can sit on the couch and watch TV or read a book and unwind without feeling guilty or having the workout hanging over my head.
So anyway, after completing 42 days of Power90 I'm a total Tony Horton convert. I looked in the mirror the other day and noticed that I have real arm muscles! I **might** have struck a few yoga poses to check myself out, because I'm kind of a tool like that. The only downside to the Power90 program is that it's repetitive. There are only two tapes and I'm SO tired of the cardio workout. That's what I'm looking forward to the most about P90X - there are 12 tapes and you rotate through. I think that will help prevent things from getting stale.
I'm most nervous about following the diet plan, or our modified version of the diet plan. I want to make sure that we aren't making a change that's too big for us, since baking and cooking are favorite hobbies of ours. We were going to take it in incremental steps but after reading the books C is all gung-ho about following the plan exactly. I'm most likely not going to follow that path with him.
I'm very much looking forward to watching C try to do the yoga poses! I have a feeling the Yoga X tape will provide me with some much needed comic-relief :)
LMAO @ you doing yoga poses in front of the mirror.
ReplyDeleteHubs and I want to get P90X. Should we start with Power 90 first, though?
Shell - there's a P90X fit test at this website - http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/p90x/p90xFitTest.pdf
ReplyDeleteWe didn't feel like we were ready to jump into it right from the start, so we borrowed the old Power90 tapes from a friend. They're not cheap though, so you might be better off from a financial standpoint to go right for P90X, especially if you don't plan on doing the full 90 days of Power90.
Here's the link to my coach's site - http://www.lynngoetzinger.com/ - she's my coach and my co-worker, and she's been around the P90 block a few times :)
Hey girl, your email isn't visible in your profile, so I couldn't just email you back(you should fix that so people can respond to your comments easier :) )
ReplyDeleteAnyway- email me and I'll send you the recipe: thingsicantsaymichelle at gmail
I'm so tempted to buy P90X now, I can't wait for you to start so I can hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou guys may be starting P90X within a matter of hours...can't wait to hear what you think of Core Synergistics! Seriously, if you could get through the monoTony of P90 and liked the results - you will LOVE P90X. I have a feeling I may be posting your 90-day progress pics on my blog as an example of what you can accomplish in 90 days. :)
