• This is going to be very quick as I don't have much time before work.

This is going to be short and sweet. I just finished Yoga X as promised to you AND Myself. I didn't start until nearly 11:30pm so It's already Midnight and I'll be heading to bed soon.

There is no video to follow as I don't have much to report. I bought a bunch of groceries tonight and I am excited to add some more variety to my daily diet!

Yoga X went better than ever so far... Warrior 4 still knocks me down but It's getting a little more stable each time.

Have a great night everyone!

Another day complete. Today was a pretty easy day for me, I was very motivated to workout and begin adding video. I personalized my Youtube account and added my very first P90X video blog update. I'm very excited about the addition of my video updates and I will be adding some reviews and ofcourse more updates in the near future!

I took some pictures last night at the end of Day 11 just for record, didn't really notice any change in physical appearance but I do want to add that I am feeling much better than last week. Body ache has completely faded and left me with just that little muscle burn you get after your done. I have alot more energy when I finish each workout and my stamina has increased greatly. I definitely notice the progress in Yoga X.

I started my Ab X routine early today - around 9am actually - because I had some errands and things I needed to get done during the day. I saved Legs and Back for later in the afternoon; I like to take a break between each in my first couple weeks so I can get the best form and therefore, results from each session. If it was cardio that would be a different story but for muscle training a break is definitely ok. Do what your body tells you! That's a very important tip.

Ab X:
Abs went well today, minimal burn throughout the workout and I forced myself to have the best form possible. I find 'heals to heaven' a little difficult because my legs don't like to stay straight, but I do the best I can. I know Yoga X will fix my flexibilty issues over the next couple weeks.

Legs and Back:
This flew right by today, before I knew it I was already 30 minutes into it. I DID use a chair today for my chin-ups, mainly for the second round. This allowed better form than last week when I tried to muscle it and use my ego. I just plain can't do what I used to and I'm ok with that now, I know in the coming weeks I'll be back to where I used to be years ago. If you rush things or push to hard your jsut going to end up to sore to workout or injuring yourself. If you injure yourself you'll lose alot more than if you just take your time and do what you can!

Tomorrow is Kenpo X and I'm very excited, this is one of my favorite X routines so far.

*Note
I still haven't added suppliments or recovery drinks to my diet but I hope to do so in week 3 or 4, so expect some reviews and updates in the near future on using those products.

Thanks again and have a great night!

I've really been slacking on updates recently but don't worry, I'm still sticking to the workouts and nutrition as best I can. It has been a very busy week for me, work has been getting in the way of my nutrition and marketing my coaching business has kept me from updates.

I want to make a little side note about work and nutrition. For anyone that works in the food industry you know how little time you actually get to eat, and when you do it's a fast meal of whatever you can get. I've done very well at not eating the food at work, or drinking the soda fromt he fountains. The problem with that is I go 6-8 hours without eating a single thing. I try my best to bring Power Bars and drink water to hold me over, but that's not nearly enough. It's very hard for me to stick to a 5-6 meal regimen, but with that said when I'm home I eat very well and very balanced. Out of 5 I would rate my diet at a 3.5-4.5 depending on what days I work.

But with all that said I want to update you on my progress.

Shoulders and Arms:

This went VERY well in week 2, I was able to hit my burn reps at around 8-10 with the new weights I purchased. The first week was a little off because some sets were to easy and others to hard, I finally have the balance I need.
I felt amazing during the workout and I am defintely excited to see what week 3 will do for me, I know without a doubt that this program is working. Overall I feel better, I'm stronger, can last longer, jump higher, hit harder, etc. It's been a ride through these first two weeks as I've been pretty sedintary the past 2-3 years.
I owe this to myself and I WILL NOT quit! Keep pushing play!

**However, I do need to note that I missed Ab X yesterday. I had to go to work and figured I'd do this workout before bed, the problem was I didn't plan to close the store and be there until almost midnight! That really set me back and made me feel a little down for missing a workout, that just makes me want to replace Red Robin with my home business sooner than later. I know this will take months but I'm working very diligently at it!
Don't kick yourself to hard if you miss a workout, just keep going with the next and you'll be fine!

Yoga X:

Wow, that's what I have to say. I was leaps and bounds beyond myself from last week. Sure I stumbled a little on some sets but I reset and did very well. I definitely feel alive and stretched today, Yoga has to be one of my favorite workouts. It's great for the mind, body, and soul; I feel Yoga X is probably the most essential workout in the program as it affects all aspects of your body. I expect to barely stumble on week 3 and don't worry, I will tell you all about my experience!

*I was going to do Ab X to follow Yoga X today but with work tonight I've decided to just pick up tomorrow on the next scheduled routine. Missing one day shouldn't set me back and besides, Yoga X really hit hard on my mid section - I mean that in a good way!

Thanks as always!
