As of this date (August 4, 2008), I'm in Round Three, Phase 2. From the home page, you probably
have gathered that I am now doing
"One on One". Let me tell you, this is a great workout program. Although, I've read
some criticisms that Tony moves to each exercise too slowly. That may be true but I'm not so sure
I would call it too slowly. The nice thing about working out with Tony Horton is that
you can go ahead of him if you already know the next exercise and it gives a longer break
to get some water, towel off, keep moving around. Although, you have to keep moving
around. The reality also is that if you are working out with buddies, you aren't moving
right away from one move to the next. You would probably conversate a little bit and not
move to each one so quickly. That's realistic and so I think it's fine the way it is. Finally,
I also think that it's a great addition to P90X(+) if you do it in the morning like I do and
do the
"One on One" at night.
So, now, in the morning, I now do the follwing:
- Stretching
- 100 crunches
- 100 full situps
- 100 curls: 35lb dumbells
- Put on weight vest (only 5lbs right now)
- 20 finger tip pushups
- 20 knuckle pushups
- 20 military pushups
- 20 diamond pushups
- 20 pushups with 15lb weights
- 1 minute isometric leg lifts with 5lb weights on ankles (front kick positions, side kick positions)
- Take off weight vest and ankle weights
- Max chin ups and max pull ups
- 15 minutes in a horse stance
(Taken from last month, still do the same)
All of the above takes about an hour in which after, I take about a 10 minute breather. I put in
the P90X DVD for that day. When I get home from work, I get on the treadmill for a 30 minute
run and a 30 minute fast walk. Before I go to bed, I do 100 pushups with push up bars.
I've now added
"One on One" which takes about 45 minutes. This consists of:
1 - on - 1 Set List
20 movements - 60 minutes
Warm-Up Stretch 5-minutes
- 1. Calf Raise Squats 30 - 45 reps
- 2. Run Stance Squats 40 - 60 reps
- 3. Super Skaters 20 - 30 reps (each leg)
- 4. Side Leg Jumps 30 to 45 reps
- 5. Wall Squat 1 to 4 minutes
- 6. Superstar Lunge 30 to 40 reps
- 7. Groucho Walk 25 reps
- 8. Run Stance Squat Switch 30 to 45 reps
- 9. Deadlift Squats 15 to 30 reps
- 10. Leapfrog Squats 20 reps (with weight)
- 11. Chair Salutations 30 to 45 reps
- 12. 4-Corners 15 to 40 rounds
- 13. Single Leg Wall Squats 1 to 2 minutes
- 14. Tires (Wacky Jacks) 50 to 100 reps
- 15. Rolling Iso Lunge 30 to 50 reps
- 16. Squat Jacks (Sumo Chair) 30 to 50 reps
- 17. Side Lunge Reach 20 to 40 reps
- 18. Run Stance 180 Jump Switch 20 to 40 reps (each leg)
- 19. One Legged Speed Squats 25 to 50 reps
- 20. The Egan Brothers 60 to 120 reps
So a buddy of mine screamed BS that I was doing all that exercising so I guess I have
to get out my video camera and take some video. Look, I do all of this. It's not always
pretty, it's not always perfect but I do legitimately workout this much a day. Why?
Cause I like it, I enjoy it and I'm trying to get rid of my love handles. I'm burning
as many calories as I can cause I want to get more and more ripped. My upper body
is getting more and more defined, as well as my legs but it's that dang mid-section that
is killing me. I probably could eat better, that has been slacking some but I do
alot of business lunches and so that is a tough part of the whole deal. But I know I'm not
exceeding 2500 calories a day so it's WHAT I'm eating for sure.
I'm also looking into doing a fitness website. Not that there aren't alot out there but
I do think I may have a special twist to it and also a way to give some REAL reviews
of Beachbody products. Keep checking back here
to see when that will happen cause I'm pretty excited about it.
