Where it happens!

Laptop with P90X, notebook for tracking, and weights

Body Vision PT600 Power Tower
Pullup/dip/core station and my 90lbs Powerblocks
These Powerblock dumbells are spendy but so worth it!  I had 50lbs ones and sold them on craigslist so I could get the 90lbs ones.  They are the best part of my home gym.
PowerBlock Elite 90 Adjustable 5 to 90-Pounds per Dumbbell Set
PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5 to 50-Pounds per Dumbbell Set

Changed My Mind

First time trying out weighted vest
I did one week of my P90X/ Arms/ Bench Press/Modified version and I decided just today that I will not do this right now.  I am going to do P90X (100%) but with my new weighted vest I got.  I am starting with 20-25lbs.  I will use it on all of the workouts starting on February 21st.  Wish me Luck! I may die.

Last night, Tuesday, I ran 3 miles with my weighted vest (@22lbs) then did squats, lunges, calf raises for 20 minutes.  Dang!  That was a good workout.  It was the first day that was warm enough to run outside without freezing so I figured I would give it a shot.  I'm excited to start round 4 with this new vest! DO YOUR BEST FORGET THE REST!

A quote that drives me

"You want me to do something... tell me I can't do it."

Weighted Vest!

Since I really do not sweat during my plyometrics work and I am wanting to build more leg strength, I decided to buy a weighted vest!  It should be here by Tuesday of next week!  This will also make my weighted pull ups and dips much easier to do than wearing a back pack with dumbbells in it.  I will be able to take weight out and add weight when needed.  I hope it works!  It's time to BRING IT!

A good quote from Tony Horton

"I'm not telling you this to brag—I'm sharing this experience because I want you to realize that life can be incredible, and not through luck or upbringing or even education. I know plenty of people who have degrees from top schools and who make tons of money—and they're a mess. Joy, happiness, opportunities, success, and the life you want come from switching to a lifestyle that involves regular exercise and whole foods. What seems hard as hell at first will turn your life into a carefree world of endless experiences and plenty of opportunities, and will give you the energy and enthusiasm you need to enjoy life for the rest of your life."
