DAY 50- P90X

Here is my updated P90X pictures.  I figured I would just show the  back view since this is where I see the most change.  It really has helped putting weight in a back pack for more resistance.

P90X Day 1 - 156lbs

P90X Day 50- 165lbs

Im always changing things up

Well we are a little over a month into our first round of P90x and I decided to make a little change to the schedule yesterday.  It was Plyometrics day, supposedly "The mother of all P90X workouts"  I don't find it too hard so I decided to do my own routine yesterday.   I did sprints starting at 6 mph then to 7mph on up to 10mph running each one for 60 seconds.  When I reached 10mph i would finish it and go back down to 6mph.  I did this for 20 minutes.  After this I spent the next 40 minutes doing leg curls on my bench, squats with my Olympic bar, dead lifts, calf raises, then jumping with 30lb dumbbells.  It was a great workout.  I am thinking about doing this every other 2 weeks in place of plyo.

Round 3 P90X 30 Days!

Well I have been doing P90X for 30 days now and it feels good!  This week I am feeling sore from the new moves we started which gets me excited!  I started using a 25lb plate in a back pack to give me added resistance on my pull-up exercises.  This week I also started trying to use heavier weights and tryed to lower my repetitions on all of the exercises. 

Rest week

Well it's week 4 of P90X and also our rest week.  I came down with a NASTY cold and it wiped me out.  I was able to do YogaX on Monday night but I could not work out after that.  I stayed home from work on Wednesday and slept alot.  I got on the treadmill last night and walked/ran for one mile to try and get my body out of this slump.  I feel slightly better so hopefully I can maybe run/walk 2 miles tonight to help my immune system recover.
