P90X Review Yoga X (Day 25 - Phase 1)

Friday’s P90X workout starts out mighty early - it’s Yoga X day.  With the 90 minute time commitment, my alarm clock is waking me from my slumber at 4:45 AM.  I roll out bed and grab something to eat and slurp down some black coffee for an energy boost.

I felt a little off balanced today during Yoga X.  Maybe I didn’t get enough sleep last night.  I really had to struggle on some of the balance poses. I don’t know about you, but those Yoga belly poses are Abripper X exercises in disguise.

I made it through and switched the DVD off before he started the Oms.

I stuck with the diet pretty well today until I met the rest of the family for dinner at an arcade/playland entertainment center.  I knew there was going to be nothing but junk there so I ate an apple on the way from work.  I ended up eating two slices of some really nasty tasting cheese pizza.  Not only did I “cheat” on my diet, I had to do it with some mediocre pizza.

P90X Review Plyometrics (Day 23 - Phase 1)

Plyometrics really gets my heart pumping.  The first couple of weeks I really dreaded this P90X workout, now I’m getting a little more accustomed to the high impact jumping.  I say a little more because I have a better pair of shoes, but my knees are still taking a beating.  When I make it through this program, I may have to really modify the stress my knees are enduring jumping up and down. The crackand creak throughout the workout and they are sore for most of the day.  I’m afraid that if I modify it too much, I’ll diminish the aeorobic benefits of the exercises.  I wouldn’t be able keep my heart rate in the zone. What does Tony mean by “are you in the zone?”  He’s referring to the heart rate zone.  Here’s a graphic I borrowed frrom the Beachbody message board to help you figure out the right heart zone for P90X Plyometrics.  I like to keep it in the 70-80% of my Maximum Heart Rate.  The easiest way to calculate your maximum heart rate is with the following formula:

217 - (your age × 0.85) = MHR

What zone (%) does everyone else shoot for?

Day 11: P90X Yoga Workout

Day 11: P90X Yoga Workout
P90X Workout: Day 11
It’s Thursday, so it was my day of Yoga. As with most of the exercises the second time around in my P90X workout, I found myself able to perform more of the exercises with less breaks. I was able to do more Chaturangas, which if you don’t know what these are - they can be somewhat difficult after a week of upper body workouts. Chaturangas are like a pushup, but you focus on keeping your elbows in, tight against your body. You perform these in between each Plank, before going into Upward Facing Dog. This workout is still very challenging, but I love it!
Nutrition
My nutrition is going well as usual. I am going to try and mix it up next week. I’ve been eating either scrambled egg whites with cheese or mushrooms since starting the training and I think I am finally getting sick of them. I’m going to do some research on BeachBody.com and use the Nutritional Guide to find some better breakfast meals. If you have any suggestions - I would love to hear them.

Day 11 Review
I’m starting to feel stronger, mentally and physically. I feel like I am performing more of the exercises in the videos, and I feel like I’m getting more confident with my nutrition/diet. I can feel that I am on the right path to changing my body and changing my life. To be honest with you, it’s pretty damn exciting!

P90X Review: Day 10 - Arms & Shoulders

P90X Review: Day 10 - Arms & Shoulders

P90X Workout: Day 10

Today’s workout, P90X Arms & Shoulders, was a little off my typical routine. I did not sleep well the night before, so slept in this morning. I performed the workout after getting home from work - around 6:30pm. The workout went well. This may be my favorite one of video workouts. I really enjoy working arms and shoulders. Working out in the evening, as opposed to the early morning, I could tell I felt stronger. I don’t have the time to do this every day, but it was a nice change of pace. With this particular workout, it becomes very apparent that I need a wider selection of weights. On some of the shoulder exercises I can do more weight, but definitely need lesser weight for several of the tricep exercises.

Nutrition

Everything remains the same on this front. I am still enjoying scrambled eggs in the morning, I had some left over turkey burgers for lunch (no buns), and had some very good cod for dinner. The cravings for sweets at night are diminishing, which can only be a good thing. :)

Day 10 Review

This is my favorite workout in the P90X workout videos, thus far. I love pushing myself on all the exercises. Today I did my workout in the early evening in my upstairs family room. It was rather hot up there today, so I finished the workout completely drenched! It really is a great feeling to know your workout is finished and that you pushed yourself as far as you could go. Bring on the Yoga!

P90X Review: Day 9 - Plyometric Training

P90X Review: Day 9 - Plyometric Training

P90X Workout: Day 9

Day 9 of the P90X workout was much better than Day 2 - Plyos. As with my Chest and Back workout yesterday, things seemed a little easier the second time around. I knew what exercises to expect and felt like I completed more of the reps - with less breaks. I’ve done plyos before, so I expect myself to pick this up pretty quickly. Some of the exercises involved in the plyos workout are - Jump Squats, Airborne Heismans, Swing Kicks, Lateral Leapfrogs, and Military Marches. The workout went great, my heart rate is at the top of my zone throughout the workout, and in the early evening I will be going for a 3+ mile run!

Nutrition

The diet is staying consistent. I am still sticking with some scrambled egg whites for breakfast, followed by a protein bar during snack time. For lunch today I had some chicken salad - made from left over chicken for last night’s dinner. My dinner was a very delicious turkey burger and a small salad. I’ve noticed my after dinner snack cravings are not as strong. I am hoping I see some more weight loss this week.

Day 9 Review

Another great day in my P90X Workout. The Plyos were intense, my diet was right on target and I can see some improvement in my extra cardio runs. I think by the end of this week I will be stretching the run to just over 4 miles.

Also, this may be from the nutrition - or maybe sweating more, but my skin has been feeling much better. Not a huge deal, but it seems a little clearer. I bet drinking more water, and less soda and/or sugar filled drinks is a big part of this as well.

P90X Review: Day 8 - Chest & Back

P90X Workout: Day 8

Today was Chest & Back workout. I did much better than Day 1 - Chest and Back. I felt a little stronger, and was more comfortable because I knew the routine a little better and felt less rushed. I keep pushing myself on the P90X chin-up bar. I was only able to do an embarrassing one rep during my Fit Test, but I am already up to 2 1/2. I’m going to kill on that thing, or it’s going to kill me!

The Chest & Back workout was followed up with the Ab Ripper X workout. Again, I felt like I was stronger going through this workout today. Don’t get me wrong, I had to take my breaks, but I was able to take less than other days. I love working my abs, and can’t wait for the day that I can keep up with the video.

Nutrition

I am still a little in the fog with the nutrition guidelines. When running through the initial numbers - the Nutritional Guide wanted me as a Level 3. Without the guide in front of me, I think it was around a 3,000 calories a day diet. I felt that was way too much, so I dropped down to Level 2. Level 2 (again, without the guide in front of me) is around a 2,400 calorie diet. I thought this was more my speed, but my weight loss isn’t where I thought it would be after Week 1. I lost a couple pounds, but expected more considering the extreme diet change and 6 days of working out. I am going to try and take a closer look at this and really start to narrow down where exactly I should be.

Day 8 Review

My workout was much better than a week ago. I was able to complete more reps and felt more comfortable with the exercises. I am seeing more strength on the chin-up bar and was able to take less breaks. I love pushing myself and can’t wait until I can complete each of videos in the P90x workout.

P90X Review: Day 6 - Kenpo X

P90X Workout: Day 6
Today was Kenpo X day of the P90X workout program. This workout was pretty enjoyable. I mixed things up a little today - It was also my extra cardio day, so I ran my 3-miles then did Kenpo X. I was drenched from running before even doing the workout, and kept up a good sweat throughout the video. It’s full of punches, kicks and combinations of both. Getting these combinations down is a little tough at first, but are real fun once you get the hang of it. I love the feeling of having a great workout, and trust me, today was one of those days. Kenpo X gets the heart pumping and makes the cardio real fun.
Nutrition
Nurtition was hard today - I knew it was going to be. I had a decent breakfast - a 3 egg omelet with cheese, but had a piece of wheat toast with some juice. For lunch it was a great salad with sliced chicken. For dinner, I broke down and had two slices of pizza. I don’t know how many calories over my diet I went today, but plan on doing some cardio tomorrow to work it off. I knew the weekends would be tough. If I don’t progress like I want, I’ll have to really tighten up here. If you have any advice, or have been through the program yourself - let me know - I would really appreciate it.

Day 6 Review
An overall great day. The workout was intense, especially with the extra cardio. I really enjoyed Kenpo X. It was fun, while really getting a good workout. My diet faltered a little, but I will make up for it tomorrow.

P90X Review: Day 4 - Yoga

P90X Workout: Day 4
Today’s P90X workout was Yoga. I’m not the most flexible person in the world, so I was looking forward to this morning. I soon realized that Yoga is no joke! I sweat as much as any other day and had a good burn throughout the exercises. I can see myself really enjoying this workout once I get an understanding of the moments and I am not looking at the television to check my form all the time.
Nurtition
My diet for the day was a little better than yesterday’s. I didn’t mix it up too much, and even switched out tuna salad for a chef’s salad. I have been so exhausted at night that the cravings for sweets at night have been trumped by my cravings for sleep. I crashed at about 845pm last night!

Day 4 Review
Today was also my day to add extra cardio - my 3-mile run. It was hot even when I went running (about 6pm), and I got a real good sweat going quickly. I am enjoying the run, especially for stretching out those stiff muscles caused by the early workout and sitting all day at work. I still feel useless running only 3 miles, but I am pretty sure the distance will increase in a couple weeks.

Tomorrow is Ab Ripper X plus Back and Legs. Ugh.

The P90X Fit Test

If you have seen the commercial, you know that the P90X Workout is an intense workout. They don’t call it an Extreme Home System for nothing.

They suggest you take their Fit Test just to make sure you are able to survive the workouts. In the Fit Test you test and record your heart rate; perform pull-ups, push-ups, vertical leaps, toe touches, wall squats, curls, and in/out ab exercises. After you take this test, you are able to determine whether you can start the P90X workout or not.

After looking over the test, I thought I would pass this with no problem. I was shocked with some of my results. Below is my recorded performance with the P90X Fit Test.

P90X Fit Test

  • Resting Heart Rate: 62 beats per minute.
  • Pull-Ups: 1 pull-up. (You should be able to do at least 3 if you are male.)
  • Vertical Leap: 15.5 inches. (A male should have a vertical of at least 5 inches.)
  • Push-Ups: 25 push-ups until failure. (You should be able to do at least 15 if you are male)
  • Toe Touch: I can stretch my fingers 1 inch past my toes. (The minimum should be at least 6 inches from your toes, or -6 inches.)
  • Wall Squat: I was able to wall squat for 1 minute and 10 seconds. (Minimum for a male is 1 minute.)
  • Bicep Curls: I performed 24 curls with 25lb. dumb bells. (You should be able to do at least 10 curls with 20 lbs.)
  • In and Outs: I performed 42 before failure. (They recommend you perform at least 25.)
  • The only part of the test I failed was with the pull-ups. While I was only able to perform 1, and they recommended at least 3 - they do say many cannot perform a single pull-up. I have made it a priority of mine to conquer that pull-up bar! I will beat that thing!

    It’s probably my competitive nature, but I thought I would have some bigger numbers with some of these tasks. The wall squat started hurting me about 30 seconds into it. I played basketball throughout college and was pretty embarrassed with my vertical number (15.5 inches). I knew my stretching would be poor, but only 1 inch past my toes is horrible.

    The good part about the Fit Test - I passed. There are more than a few things I have to work on improving, but I am very confident that the P90X workout videos will help me get more respectable numbers.

    Tomorrow I will be recording my initial body measurements and taking some photos of myself prior to beginning the workout. I’m sure not looking forward to posting those numbers and photos, but we all have to start somewhere, right? They say in the manual, they aren’t “before” photos, they are goodbye photos. Sure is a great way to look at it.
