Workout week Sept 28th-Oct 4th
9-28
Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X
Not a bad day as right now I have some time off of work and workout during my daughters first nap. Chest and back is stellar what else do I need to say. I have 2 more weeks and I’m done with P90x for the second time through. Still my favorite one.
9-29
Plyometrics
Jumping and more jumping. Today I wasn’t really in the mod to do rock star hops for some reason. I skipped the warm up because now with two kids its a little more challenging to work out. All in all I was excited to finish without interruption. I am always super pumped when finished with this one. Recovery, recovery, Recovery drink!
9-30
Chest, Shoulders, Triceps + Ab Ripper X
After doing this now for the second time trough I have upped my weights by double the amount. Ab ripper is usually a little more difficult for me just because I’m so exhausted after this exercise. I would recommend a protein shake or bar within one hour after completed.
Oct 1
Yoga X
I crushed yoga today for some reason and woke up feeling refreshed. I always do yoga x at night just because I have troubles sleeping at night. Flexibility and core workout to the fullest!
Oct 2
Legs and Back + Ab Ripper X
I’m going to be starting up soccer again indoors at the end of the month and man does this workout train you for sports. My calves and quads are stronger than ever. I usually wait to do ab ripper at least 10 minutes because your using your abs when working out your legs and its a double workout. Lots of pain =lots of good results.
Oct 3
What can I say! It’s every coaches favorite workout or at least that’s what I here. Kick, punch and block your way out of frustration. I always feel like I don’t get a good workout but wake up sore every time. I had my wife join me for this one and she really enjoyed it. She is starting P90x next week. I forgot to tell her that this is the easiest workout in the whole set. Oh well! Fam coming from Italy Today.
Oct 4
Rest Day
No working out today and doing lots of hanging out with my cousins from Italy and watching football. Da Colts! I’m going to attempt to write my best man speech today since my brothers wedding is next weekend. Wish me luck. Don’t forget to sign up for a free account.
Workout Week Sept 21st – 27th
I have two more weeks to go and my second time through P90x will be completed. Here is what I did for workouts and a few examples of how they were.
9-21
This workout is probably my second favorite because it gives you the best upper body workout. I wont be able to explain every exercise in detail so click above for that but all I can say is lots of push ups. Make sure you have a recovery drink after and a protein shake for lunch. Don’t forget Ab Ripper X.
9-22
Plyometrics
I used to dislike this one cause there was lots of jumping but now I use it as a way to entertain my daughter. In this workout you do an exercise called jump knee tuck. Its the hardest thing I have ever done. Try jumping in place but the object is to hit your hands with the top of your knees. Its super difficult but you sweat like hell.
9-23
Back & Biceps
If you are not good at pull ups then look no further. You will get good at doing pull ups and curls in this workout. I used to be able to only do like 1 pull up and now the second time through P90X I can now do almost 13 in a row. My resultshave been awesome since and my upper body strength is fantastic. Don’t forget to do your Ab Ripper X as well.
9-24
All I can say here is that Yoga X has made me incredibly flexible and actually helps with any soreness your having. I actually showed my father in law and few of these moves because he has had a sore back all his life. He was truly impressed with my knowledge as well as the fact that the pain started going away. He pretty much got bored with his exercises and his body got used to the movements that it wasn’t doing anything for him. Another great reason to look at the coaching opportunity. If you practice and help other why not benefit from it.
9-25
I will have to admit that I have skipped this workout a few times and finally did it this week. I will never do that again because I was sore for 3 days after. Wall squats for 90 seconds and then wall squats with one leg in the air. Pretty intense if you ask me. Recovery drink is a for sure after this workout. Oh and don’t forget Ab Ripper X. I can now do the last workout with my legs in the air and get through 40 leg raises.
9-26
Kenpo X
I will be writing more in depth about this workout because its so enjoyable. Lots of action with punches and kicks. The best part is the end or the sports bonus. 3 different moves and 3 different sports. Basketball, football, baseball. I also was throwing my brother a Bach party today. It consisted of limo bus, casino and the bars. We got home at 6 am. OUCH!
9-27
REST DAY. Thank God for this rest day as I didn’t move from the couch. Bach party was fun but man I am paying for it. Yes my wife hated me but expected me to be worthless today. I want to encourage anyone reading that they should look into the free account that beach body gives you. It has a similar look to face book but not as intense. If you intend on buying anything now or in the future then consider becoming a coach. Why? Well make money and a sweet discount for you.
