P90X3- Two weeks into this great adventure

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.
