Just two weeks ago I started P90X3. Despite having done P90X a few years ago I really wasn't sure what to think, or what to expect. For me I feel like you can read the instruction guide, look at the calendar, review the menu plan, but until you are actually in the midst of the work out I don't think you really know if it is for you. With that nervous, hesitant mind set, I weighed and measured myself the day before. I even took pre-work out photos. I'll be honest, I have big expectations for the results in this work out. Summer time means that along with this work out I will also be running more, walking more and just playing around more. I also tend to eat healthier during the summer. Somehow during the summer, a grilled chicken breast and sliced tomatoes makes a filling dinner.
I am almost 6 months postpartum and while this is not my first work out program since having the baby it is the first time I feel like I'm starting the program in good shape. I relied on T25 at 6 weeks to get my cardio up to speed and the 21 Day Fix helped me get weights back into my life. But here, I was going to be faced with cardio, weights and who knows what else.
I am almost two weeks in (just a rest day shy) and I feel great. The workouts are different each day. Some weights, some cardio and some just great body movement.
Week 1 Favorite workout: The Challenge. This workout was awful when I was doing it. Push-ups and Chin-ups. That's it my friends. Just a variation of each. But each one I did was more and more satisfying because unlike the last few programs where I was starting my workout with modification I was doing REAL push-ups. Were they good push-ups? No. Were my knees up? YES!
Week 2 Favorite workout: CVX. Simply stated this work out is a combo of cardio and resistance and all done with one weight. In my case I used one five pound weight. I ended the workout feeling, exhausted but energized, flexible and yet a little sore.
In fact, that's the perfect way to describe these two weeks. I feel sore and more flexible, exhausted and yet more energized.
I hope you have had a satisfying two weeks of exercise. I will be updating you soon.
