Day 9; Interval X and ABS/Core Plus

Just to keep with my word. Last night I did a some of Insanity's Fit Test with the Fiance. We recorded what we did and hopefully can improve in a month or so! Fiance's knees are starting to hurt with this high impact training... so we are going to pick her up some knee braces for her... yay years of being a catcher for softball!

Today I did Interval X and ABS/Core Plus. I managed to get through Interval X while still standing and without getting sick! Go me. Such a great burn and sweat is built up with that work out. So much variation.

ABS/Core Plus is another story... already being exhausted and chewing up the core with some hard ass moves really taxes a guy.

Oh well, tomorrow is Arms and Back... I love that work out!!!!!

Wow, catch up post! Day 5, 6, 7, AND 8!!!

So day 5 was Upper Body Plus. I don't know what it is about P90X+, but I only like ABS/Core Plus and Full Body Plus. The rest just don't seem to build up a sweat to me or make my muscle sore... bummer.

Day 6 was a mash-up of Kenpo Cardio in the AM by myself. I did all 40 minutes of it and was bored, VERY bored. So in the PM I tried it out with my Fiance to see what she thought and we went about 15 minutes and just look at me with that: "Really Chris, this is boring." look. So we popped in Insanity's Fit Test... wow... that killed. Loved it!

Day 7 was another REST DAY! Didn't really need it, but I believe that you shouldn't workout every single day. Your body needs a chance to repair itself. So that was today.

Day 8! Back to P90X! I did good old Chest and Back this morning. I love it. My back and chest always feel nice and full after this workout. This was a AM work out and I felt great before, during, and after. Tonight I plan on working out with the fiance and doing ABS/Core Plus with her or by myself after our Cardio. I don't plan on doing the full Cardio work out tonight because of my AM work out. I'll post up what I did cardio wise tomorrow and my thoughts on how I felt during and after whatever she makes me do.

Day 4; Rest Day!

I moved my normal Sunday rest day to today... the reason for this is a busy weekend. Fiance wants to take me out Saturday, I have a feeling good food will be involved. Sunday is lunch with the family and that's good food too. So I moved Thursday's workout to Sunday to help burn some cals! Simple enough.

Day 3; Full Body Plus

With the exception of Kenpo Cardio, I've gotten through all the new discs that make up P90X+. I have to admit that I need to either step up my intensity or go back to regular P90X for resistance. I just don't feel that 'swell' and 'ache' from lifting with X+.

I don't have BPM or Cal burn for today. Tomorrow is supposed to be Yoga X, but I hate that... either Cardio X or Interval X/ABS-Core +. We will see what I post up tomorrow :-D

Day 2; Interval X and ABS/Core Plus

Today (well, yesterday... I really need to post day of >.< ) was my first time ever doing Interval X. It's a 40ish minute workout. Non-freaking-stop. I liked it but I didn't feel like it really got a good heart rate. I think I didn't push myself hard enough not knowing what to expect.

AVG BPM - 171
Cal Burned - 506

Next up: Full Body Plus

Day 1 of P90X+ ; Upper Plus with ABS/Core Plus

Well, I've been working out steadily with P90X classic for a couple months now. So I decided I'd start the new year off right. After the first week of the year with only P90X resistance it was time to start the Plus series. I do supplement myself, here are the things I use:

Animal Pak (Multi-vitamin)
Animal Stak (HGH/Test booster)
Animal Pump (Pre-workout Creatine/N.O./Focus Matrix)
Modern BCAA (Aminos Acids for intra workout)
Whey Protein

That's a decent stack and I was on it with my first week of the year as well and I'm already starting to see a leaner me and strength increases. My fiance also got me a very nice heart-monitor/calorie calculator that I will use to track most of my stats.

I'll also post my weight every Monday and post a Day 1 vs Day 30/60/90 for my own referances.

So yesterday was my first day on Plus and I'll have to say it's not the 'muscle building' I thought it would be, it's mostly a cardio circuit to help burn fat and maintain muscle mass. ABS/Core+ is about the same way but I really feel the burn in the core with it, however I still like AB Ripper X for abs.

Avg BPM - 176
Est Cal burn - 700
Weight to date - 173.4 lbs (I weighed 220lbs on Jan 4th, 2010)

So you can see it definately keeps the zone going and the heat up!



I'll post up tomorrow about my thoughts and results on Interval X!
