Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid: Day 18 Legs & Back and ARX

It is hard to believe that the resistance work-outs of Phase I is over.   I am extremely pleased with my reps and weights especially for this routine because I hated this work-out during the first round.  I'm still not in love with it but my legs have slimmed down and the quads are especially strong thanks to all the squats and lunges.

Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid: Day 17 Plyometric Cardio Circuit and Cardio Abs

This morning was one of those just press play type of mornings.  This is my 15th consecutive day of working out.  But when I thought of what my goals were and how close I am to reaching them, pressing play was really easy.  Shaun T kicked my butt!!!!!! But not as much as he did last week or the week before. 

Only two breaks was needed doing Cardio Abs this morning.  My lower back is benefiting immensely from this routine. 

Only 73 days to go!!!!

Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid: Day 13 Cardio Power and Resistance & Cardio Abs

I am really excited about the progress that I have made in comparison to week one.  I needed just one break during the Cardio Power and Resistance.  I made the mistake of sitting on the couch as I was preparing for the Cardio Abs and I left a huge wet spot.

I really am enjoying Cardio Abs.  My core is getting stronger every day which means I'm keeping up with Shaun T.  I'm beginning to see more definition in the ab area.  The layer of fat that was covering that area is slowly disappearing!!!!!

77 days to go!!!!!

Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid: Day 9 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

I didn't have to pause the DVD but I did have to take a couple of breaks.  My stamina is improving slowly but surely.  I am pretty happy about the decision to commit to doing the Hybrid.

My abs are a bit sore after Ab Ripper X yesterday but I still enjoyed Cardio Abs today.  I love the fact that there aren't any crunches.  When this is done after a Insaity work-out it's an extension of the Cardio.  I had to take a couple of breaks to catch my breath.  Today's work-out was/is a two thumbs up type of routine. 

9 days down 81 days to go!!!!!

Round 2 P90X/Insanity Hybrid: Day 7 Cardio Power& Resistance and X-Stretch

I came up with the "brilliant" idea this morning of combining Insanity ans P90X.  I'm proud to say that I didn't press pause during Cardio Power and Resistance but I did have to take a couple of breaks.  I"m glad to say that I made it through pretty well.  My stamina is definitely improving.  Shaun T is a great motivator.

I took a five minute break and drank some Results and Recovery Formula before I began X Stretch.  I was still soaked in sweat when I started but the slow relaxing stretching with Tony Horton was just what I needed.  The glute stretch was especially soothing after yesterday's legs and back and this mornings power jumps.  When I do this next week I'm also going to eat a couple of oranges with my Results and Recovery drink because  by the time I finished X Stretch I was starving!!!!!

Round 2: P90X Hybrid - Day 3 Plyometric Cardio Circuit "Dig Deep"

WOW!!!!  It took me 50mins to get through the 40min DVD.  I took breaks when I needed to so I paused the DVD either 3 or 4 times.  I am happy that I finished but I have a very long way to go.    Having push-ups and ski abs at the end of the routine makes it really tough but if you "dig deep" you will be happy that you did. 

There is a 6'1'' wet spot on my living room floor.  I've never sweated this much doing P90X Plyo's....And that isn't taking anything away from the P90X.  It just means that Insanity Plyos is extreme!!!!! 

I look forward to the next 87 days!!!!!

P.S. I think its safe to say that I will not need fat burners for this round......

Round 2: P90X Hybrid - Day 2 "Rest Day"

Due to some type of stomach bug, I had to use day 2 as a rest day.  Which means no rest on Saturday.

Last Days of Recovery Week

Yesterday I did Core Synergistics and I can say that my abs do feel a little bit tighter. 

Today I did the X- Stretch.  I have to admit that I my body feels looser, relaxed and also a bit flexible.  I didn't too much sweating but all in all I'm feeling good.

I look forward to starting the P90X Hybrid tomorrow.

Week Update

I know it's been a few says since my last blog.  If you haven't noticed, I've changed the name of the blog and the address which is "Losing 30lbs and Keeping It Off".  I've reached my weight loss and now I want to maintain and now I will be blogging about what I'm doing to maintain.

After completing P90X on Saturday, I took off Sunday and Monday to get a little rest.  I was back at it on Tuesday and did some Plyos.  Wednesday I did Kenpo and this morning a did some Cardio X. 

On Sunday I will be starting the Hybrid P90X which is a mix of the P90X and Insanity, which I look forward to doing.

P90X Day 90: Yoga X.....NAMASTE

I was able to make it through the 93 minutes of Yoga X today in 96 minutes, which means I had to pause less often to get back into a position that I fell from.  PROGRESS!!!!

Today was my graduation from my 1st round of P90X.  I will start my next round on June 12th.  I'm taking a "Recovery" week by doing sessions of Kenpo X, Ab Ripper X, X Stretch, Plyometrics, Cardio X and 20 mile bike rides.

I lost a lot of weight this round, a total of 42lbs to be exact.  But I'm not satisfied.  Now that I'm in better shape I should get more results from my next round.

P90X Graduate!!!!!!
