P90X

So I didn't want to blog about this until I knew I was committed and showing results. And since it's a "yes" for both, I'm going to tell you about it.

Has anyone seen those infomercials for "P90X" on TV? It's a workout program that guarantees awesome results in 90 days! Here's a LINK to the website. Basically they have a ~60 minute workout routine each day of the week on 12 different DVDs. There's a schedule that you follow that tells you which DVD to use on each day. Each DVD targets a different part of the body. There's "Chest & Arms," "Shoulders & Arms," "Legs & Back," "Yoga," "Abs," and etc. And let me tell you, each one really works you out! I'm really loving it. It's a love-hate thing actually. I hate it cuz it's hard, challenging. But I love it because it really works out my body. And OMG, the Yoga is AMAZING. I've never sweat so much in my life! Seriously works out every part of my body. I've done Yoga before, but never like this.

I'm on Week 3 of the program now. And I'm already seeing results in my arms, chest, shoulders, and back. I took some "before" pictures (and no, I'm not going to post them here because I think I look horrible in them) and I'm supposed to take pictures at the 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day mark. MAYBE I'll post the 30-day pics... maybe I'll wait until the 60-day. Anyway... I love the program. I just have to keep putting the DVDs in and keep pressing play. 1 hour each day is not a hard committment. (I do cheat and skip the cardio days because I do enough cardio at work) I'll be finishing up my 90 days in the middle of summer... when it's time for the BEACH. So I'm sort of excited to go to the beach this summer and show off my body. It's my motivation to keep going on this program. To have an awesome Beach Body to show off. :P

So wish me luck on this. And hopefully I won't get an injury that will prevent me from continuing with this program. Cuz I was doing so well with my "100 push-ups program" until I got that stupid shoulder injury. NO to injuries. YES to big muscles! hehehe.

Continue to Push Up

I just ended Week 2 of the One Hundred Push Ups Plan. Seriously, I recommend this program to anyone who wants to develop their chest muscles more or just want to be able to do more pushups. If someone told me that I would be doing over 70 push ups in week 2 of the program, I would think they were crazy. Of course, these aren't 70 straight push ups one right after the after. They're in "sets." 15, 15, 12, 12, and 20. (74 in total tonight). But by the end of Week 6, as long as I "pass" each week, I will be able to do 100 push ups without resting. That's just AMAZING! I really can see improvements in my chest area already and I'm excited to track the progress. Now I just need to make sure that I'm working other areas of my upper body as well. Need to work out the shoulders, the back, and the biceps/triceps more.
