So I'm in Round Two of the P90X system. I love working out now and have that same feeling
of desire to workout as I did when I was younger. I'm not really too concerned about losing
weight, though I want to get down to 180lbs now. Seeing myself at 200lbs made me realize
that there was more weight to lose but I haven't been concerned about losing it quickly. I'm
still eating fairly decent but I'm eating a little more losely as well. If I want a dessert
at a restaurant, I get it but I only do a few a week if any. So I'm still very conscious
of what I'm eating and how much.
I'm also doing the Classic P90X series which means that it's more focused on muscle building;
but I've also increased my "warm up" exercises and doing more of a tougher workout regimen. I'd
have to say that Classic P90X is a whole lot more tougher than the Lean P90X version I did for my
first 90 days.
So, 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
- 5 chin ups and 5 pull ups
- 15 minutes in a horse stance
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.
Alright, well, because of time constraints, I was not able to finish this page but I'm putting
this mini-update here. I did complete Round 2 and got down to 190lbs. I also won a contest
here in Central Florida. It was a local contest for The Biggest Loser run through WESH TV 2.
I'm on to Round 3 but I went on vacation first, hitting Mammoth Caves in Kentucky.
