What can I say that would make this post interesting and intriguing to those who are googling P90X? I finished week 2. Let’s talk about week 2.
The Workouts
I had a great week 2 – especially in the weight training area. I switched to what is called the “Classic” rotation form the “Lean”. (Means I do weights 3x per week instead of 2x.) I went into the Chest and Back Track (push ups and pull ups) and made it through. I’m using the exercise tubes for the pull up option. And you know what? They work – big time. And I love it. I really enjoy this type of weight training as each exercise only lasts roughly 30-60 seconds, and then your off on the next round. It’s as hard as I want to make it, and the more I go, the harder I want to make it. I continue to struggle with Yoga, but I can see progress there. Plyometrics was also really tough and challenging.
The Eating
I relaxed my thinking this week, just shooting for more protein, and keeping my calories low. I still need to work on my breakfasts. I really get behind there and just need more calories. I’m still trying to figure out how to integrate with nightly family meals.
Results
3 lbs. lost so far. I’ve done 5 push-ups on my toes in a row. Number prior to P90X – 0. I feel better. I seem to have a lot of energy and get so much done in a day. I can see some definition starting in my abs and my hubby reports he notices the difference in my back and shoulders. I’m stunned that things are progressing so quickly. It seems I’ve done other workouts for months with nothing to report.
The journey continues. I have an off day tomorrow and am hopping on board for Week 3 starting Monday!
