Week 1 of P90X

Hola! Week 1 of P90X is completed. This week was a little rough to start the plan but I tried to do extra work earlier in the week because I had a wedding this past weekend. My workout schedule below:

Day 1-Core Synthesis (all over body workout, more like circuit training)

Day 2-Cardio X(plyos and fast yoga)

Day 3-Arms, Shoulders, and Abs ( Abs Ripper DVD was KILLLLEERRRRR!!!!)

Day 4-Yoga (hard intense yoga)

Day 5-Legs, Back, and Abs ( lots of lunges..one of my favs)

Day 6-Kenpo (missed this day because of the wedding but did extra cardio earlier in the week)

So far so good. I really like the different workouts. I like to play music in the background so its not just the dvd music playing (boringggg). I try to take my lab top to the gym and workout in the studio. Sometimes, I work out in my basement if the studio isnt available. I miss doing my long runs so I may try to incorporate those back in the mix. My goal is to do this program for the next three months. Its a tough time I think for all during the holiday season creeping up. I think its important to remind yourself to continue eating healthy through the holiday season. I know..easier said then done but it will you feel so much better and not one of things rushing to the gym Jan 1st..

P90X offers a nutrition program but I am just doing my daily routine. I need to pay more attention to my eating habits on the weekends to make sure I stay on track. Usually throughout the week I have a smoothie or oatmeal pancakes in the morning, salad for lunch, greek yogurt for snack, and seafood and veggies for dinner. Its been about 8 months now that I have gone vegan.

I will you updated on my progress. I really do think that they should have P90X for itunes. They can tell you what to do and you can have a song for each move…it can be my invention..lol. Wishful thinking….

Happy Monday!
