Ten Minute Trainer Yoga Flex

Today is my 3rd day of 10 minute trainer.  I'll tell you what. As much as I LOVE p90x, it's very time consuming.  Ten Minute Trainer I can sneak in anytime, and it feels great.

Yesterday's cardio workout, was about the toughest 10 minutes I've done since I can remember playing soccer in High School.  Just constant movement.

Today was Yoga Flex.  10 minutes of bliss!  Sure, 10 minutes isn't really quite long enough to get totally limber, but it's enough to make me feel good enough to tackle the afternoon.

If you are thinking about getting this...GET IT!  (Go to the "Shopping" button over on the right there).  You just won't regret it.  I feel great.

Plus, if I decide I want to add a p90x workout, I still can, but now I've got my 10 minutes in at least and I can feel like I've done something productive.

Tony Horton's Ten Minute Trainer

Hey everyone, sorry for the absense. I've been riding my bike a bit, not enough, but also very, very busy.   I decided to give Beach Body's Ten Minute Trainer a try.  It arrived this afternoon and I tore it open!

I just did the first working, upper body. I was skeptical that 10 minutes could give you a great workout, but I trusted Tony!

Sure enough, my arms are FRIED right now!  I ordered the deluxe kit that came with 3 bands. (I ordered the medium kit). I chose the middle band, the purplish one. I think next time I'll try the light one for awhile.

So for sure, I've got 10 minutes a day to give this a shot.  I did the 2 minute warmup and cooldown as well, and I feel great right now. Time for bed!

Weekend Workout - Kempo & AbRipperX

Well last week's plyo wore me out...it had been about 4 weeks since I did it, and I was fairly sore (but not the worst I've been) for several days.  I did yoga on Friday, and it was the best yoga I've done so far with Tony.  After two 12 hour work days today I did KempoX and a bonus AbRipper X.  Both were the best workouts of each that I've done so far.

Funny how I can take time off, not follow the program, come back and be better than before!  One big problem though, is taking time off wiht my diet...that definately does not work!  I'm on the heavy side right now, and no idea what my BF% is...been too lazy to check it.

Anyway, I feel good after today's workout.

Also, I recently became a coach...leave a comment, email me or check out my beach body site if you want to become a coach with me and make money while you get in shape!

p90x Round 2 Chest Shoulders Triceps

Hi everyone!  Sorry no update for awhile. Workouts have been scattered, but I am not daunted! I will not stumble due to a few missed workouts, I am STILL a p90x warrior!  It's been about a full month since my schedule was disrupted due to travel and family comittments, but I am back again today with a full Monday workout for Round 2.  And guess what?  Despite not working out with Tony for about 2 full weeks (I did 2 workouts with Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs), I was able to increase weights on 5 of my exercises today!  Sweet.

AbRipper X is still HARD, but I'm doing better and better (again, despite the little holiday).  I feel pretty good, now I just need to get my diet into gear.  Headed off to Trader Joe's to buy some nutrition (after my recovery shake of course!)

Bring it!

p90 x Round 2 Day 29 Back and Biceps

OK guys, if you are paying attention, you'll know that day 29 is NOT Back and Biceps.  I've had a lot of "life" going on in the past week and a half and basically took a whole week off.  Last time I worked either of these body parts was about 2 weeks ago, so I decided to start the week with it.

Man, it was tough. 

Over the weekend I visited with my nephews, 4 & 7 years old, about 35 and 55 lbs respectively.  In the guise of "playing" with them, I tried to come up with all sorts of creative ways to lift, press, squat and curl the little guys, LOL. 

Guess I also didn't update you guys on going running last week...first time in over 2 years!  10 minutes straight!  I was thrilled with myself.  The following day I did have some soreness in my back, but it was gone by the day after that.  Didn't get a chance to try running again over the weekend, but will integrate that slowly into my routine. 

p90 x Round 2 Day 22 - Yoga!

Recovery week, and its about time!  I went climbing last night at the local climbing wall, and I felt GREAT. It's been over a year since I went and I attribute it to p90x.  I was VEry, very tired today, however, and a little bit sore.  Basically accomplished nothing all day.

So I was excited to see that todays workout was yoga.  It felt great. I'm usually impatient, but I can tell I'm getting stronger.  The first few yoga sessions are so frustrating b/c it doesn't seem like it should be hard, but it is.  It takes core, hip & shoulder strength to hold poses.

I made it through to Wheel pose and then decided to call it quits. 

Down dog was feeling great by the end.

Thanks Tony!

p90 x Round 2 Day 19

Chest and back and Ab Ripper X.  I'm totally thrashed.  For some reason I love this workout...it really feels like I'm hitting all the major body movers...gluts, hams, back and core.  No silly bicep curls (alhtough I love those as well)

Like I've said many times before...It doesn't get easier, you just get stronger.
