A great place to start
For a good long while I found myself very miserable, and very overweight. I was always eating way too large of portions of horrible foods all too often, being very sedentary in my spare time, drinking too much, smoking, never exercising, living in constant stress, etc., etc.,.. While I lived this way, I was in…
Reset and restart!
It’s official, the P90X doubles routine kicked my butt two times in a row. I have been out of commission for about a month due to two shoulder injuries, on top of the flu, on top of some crazy stress from my school this semester. This is a lesson learned: don’t overdo it! I definitely…
Should I work out when I’m sick?
I’ve done workouts when sick before, and they made me feel quite a bit better, so I just kept to them. It makes me feel like life is worth living beyond the cold! But is this a good idea? Should I “walk it off” or should I take to the couch and “let my body…
One year anniversary of a very important date
So, one day shy of exactly one year ago, I posted a quick article about making it one whole week without any tobacco intake. It was not an easy decision to make to quite smoking cigarettes…for good, and here I sit, over one whole year later, an accomplished man. In that post I pointed out…
P90X Round three….take two!
So…My first attempt at doing the P90X Doubles routine…failed. This routine adds a CardioX workout to 3 days of the weeks in phase two, and 4 days of the weeks in phase three. This is adding in 2 hours and 15 minutes of workout a week in phase two, and three additional hours a week…
p90x Round two….NAILED IT! What about you?
Well, three months later and I can say…round two…I nailed it! That’s right, I finished another round of p90x! HA! The measurements and statistics are not in yet (haven’t taken them yet) but I can say that I am comfortably wearing jeans that are 8 inches less round than when I started! HA! Take that,…
I DID IT!!! what? p90x BABY!!!
Two days ago I spent an hour doing a series of relaxing, rejuvenating stretches. Over the course of the last three months I have gotten to set aside on hour per week to doing that, one of the things that keep me looking forward each week. After spending an hour to an hour and a…
My Entire Body Is Sore
Well, here I am, on the 16th day of training on the p90x fitness program (which I mentioned here a few weeks ago), and I still have not 1) died from exhaustion or 2) simply given up! That’s right kiddies, I am working on my 3rd week of this pretty INTENSE fitness program, and even…
The challenge undertaken
So, I thought it worthwhile to mention that I have embarked on yet another journey. In a bold maneuver designed to take my life in a totally new and fresh direction I have decided to engage myself upon the worthy path of P90X! That’s right, I have gotten myself the Beachbody P90X fitness program, and…
