It is week two of my journey into P90x for the umpteen time I have started.  I have me a workout partner now.  He decided to go to California (San Diego) and leave me hanging to do the workouts.

Now, I own a small women’s fitness studio where I teach quit a few body toning classes anyhow and so trying to keep the energy and motivation up for my P90x is hard.  Just wanted you to know that so you won’t think I am a weakling.  :) 

So, I managed to get up enough motivation to do the legs and back routine, which I knew was going to be a hard one, so that is why it took me a while to get it done. 

I really love this workout.  It is extremely exhausting especially if you give it all you got.  Getting low, pushing through the heels on the squats, staying on the toes on the sneaky lunges, going lower on the wall sits, pulling and squeezing every ounce in your body on the back exercises.  Whew, getting exhausted telling you about it all.

My booty is sore today.  My back is still there but I need to stretch it today.  Been working back hard this week. 

Legs and back, you have to give a try.  You will like it.

“A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”

I has been a while since I have posted.  One of the reasons is because I really have not done too much over the holidays but be a bum and gained a few pounds that I did not need.  Urgh!

I have not gone to a gym in a long time. I started back after the semester, working on my chest and back and working on my pull-ups.  I trying to get to where I can actually do one with the P90x bar. 

Anyway, I have not been sick for like two years.  Gyms carry germs on the machines and no one wants to wipe them down.  I got sick, with a cold.  I was so mad.  So, I have been slackin.

During this time of being sick, I decided to watch the fifth dvd that came in on the one-on-one with Tony.  This dvd is all about push-ups and pull-ups.  None of which I can do.  Tony is himself here.  Crazy.  So, what does the thirty/fifteen stand for.  I will tell you  Thirty seconds of push-ups from every style of push-ups you can imagine in Tony’s world, to fifteen seconds of pull-ups every different kind of pull-ups you can imagine.  Crazy!    This one style of pull-up that Tony does is insane.  He does them in a horizontal plane.  Can you even foster the idea?

Take this guy and take away the floor and try to do the pull-up.  Tony actually does one regular pull-up and then pulls himself into a horizontal position and does another one.

Then it is back down on the floor for some more push-ups.  Just insane.  I decided to pass on working out to this one.  I may use the different push-up in my core training class next semester.  I am thinking about doing the 100 push-up challenge with this next class too.  That should be fun.  I can do this challenge with my class.

I love it though.

I received my 6th dvd with a holiday special dvd inside.  It was a pretty good one.  I will have to let you know how that is when I actually do it.  The main dvd is called “The Fountain of Youth” now who does not want to still look young.  Yoga is this dvd.  Pretty aweseom.
