Cardio X

Due to my first 2 experiences, I was a little worried that P90X wasn't going to be much fun. I love enjoying my workouts and like them more when there's some fun involved. It makes it way easier to press play each day and it makes it feel like you're not working out at all when you're doing something you actually enjoy. Well, I am pleased and relieved to say that last night's Cardio X workout proved me wrong; I had so much fun! It was tough for sure but some of my favorite moves were Superman Banana:

The first thing that comes to mind is this, right? (haha!)

But this is actually what you alternate doing:

 and the wacky jacks were fun too, even though I felt like a total goof!

My whole body is on fire again today and I absolutely love that! Maybe this whole P90X thing won't be so bad after all. :)

Take Control!

Last Monday after I completed day 1 in the wrong phase, I felt sore but awesome and thought I would be ready to go the next day but I was wrong! The whole week I didn't sleep well and was feeling off and exhausted so I unfortuantely put off my workouts. Not anymore though, today I feel great and can't wait to get home and complete day 1 of P90X - the Lean Phase and actually commit to the 90 days! I hear there is more cardio in it compared to the Classic Phase, which was just an hour of push-ups and some use of resistance bands.

I can't wait!  I hear Kenpo is amazing so I am especially excited for day 6.

Day "One"

So, today was day 1 of P90X and I was SO excited to get started until I got about 3/4 of the way through, already completed close to 100 push-ups and was getting close to absolute fatigue. I was fighting so hard to get through and then decided, I will go and complete Ab-Ripper X with the little energy I have left and call it a night. Part ways through Ab-Ripper I was thinking there is something wrong with this picture, there is NO way that this is day 1 so I actually read my schedule and realized I started on day 1 of the Mastery Phase. Boy, am I relieved, a tad embarrassed, but definitely relieved and hopeful for tomorrow. I am looking forward to ACTUAL day 2 tomorrow with Cardio X. Well, time for my protein shake and then off to bed I go.

A quote I will leave you with: "Don't say I can't, say I presently struggle with..."

Let's Get This Party Started!

Welcome to my blog!

I have been wanting to start a blog for awhile now but I just kept putting it off. I finally decided that today is the day to begin!  I am a married 26 year old who is a fitness fanatic. I absolutely love trying new things and getting my sweat on! I decided that I should document my fitness journey while I complete P90X!  I will take all the accountability I can get, and from experience, writing things down
is one step closer to achieving your goals.

So, let's get this party started!!
