I felt really weak during my workout today. On some of the exercises I wasn’t able to do as many reps as I did during this workout the last time I did it and I fell on my face a few times during some of the pushups. I’m sure I haven’t lost any strength so [...]

I don’t know if plyometrics is never getting any easier or if I just consistently push myself harder, but this is the only workout where I still feel like it’s just as hard as when I started. I guess that’s good though because I’m still getting a great cardio workout and burning a lot of [...]

So I’m into the 9th week of P90X and I decided it’s time to step it up so I did all of the push ups off my knees! I can’t explain how awesome it feels to not do “girl” push ups. And in many cases, I was able to do as many real push ups [...]

So I’m officially half way through P90X and I feel like I’ve reached a changing point in how I feel about diet and fitness. Working out has become a habit instead of something I have to try to fit in or dread doing. Sure, some days I still groan when workout time comes around. Usually [...]

I can definitely tell that my legs are getting stronger. During the wall sits I am able to go lower and I’m not mooing by the end. I also added 15 pound weights to the calf raise squats, calf raises, the alternating side lunges (half the set) and the step back lunges. I don’t have [...]

This was an enjoyable workout for me because I like working my biceps. But, this reinforced even more that I want to get free weights instead of using the bands for my non-pull up exercises. Especially because I only have one set of bands so I had to keep taking them off the door, putting [...]

This workout was a nice change from Chest & Back. It had a lot of different kinds of pushups including one arm ones that I couldn’t even do on my knees! But the pushups were mixed in with a the shoulder and tricep exercises which I enjoy. The workout is really tough on your shoulder [...]

Uh ok so I thought this was going to be a week off. Boy was I wrong! Core Synergistics is an ass kicking workout! Tony lets you know this workout is no nonsense by starting with crazy staggered hands push ups that I can only do one set of on each side. I also can’t [...]

I’m into my fourth week and have talked about each workout daily, so I’m going to try to do more broad updates about the workouts and talk more about what’s going on with my body, diet tips and P90X workout tips. I’ll still do individual posts about the new workouts that I have over the [...]
