I'm fitting in gifted clothes that I've never worn...punching holes in belts I've had for ten years...and feeling great.

Anyone who is considering P90X, I highly recommend it.

Now, a week's respite with the family in Disney (hence the accelerated last week), return for the Holidays...continue exercising and eating well, and start a round of the Classic version in late January/early February to get ready for the summer. I might just start it sooner I enjoyed it so much.

Good stuff!!! Wife bought P90x+ and we're 1 week into it. Man I'm out of shape.

Get sexy with it! I have all of Tony Horton's whiticisms forever burned into my brain.

I started my second 90 day cycle today, doing the Classic version as intended. In the month I haven't been training, I've continued eating right (for the most part - Christmas and New Year parties....

), have worked out some, but not as much as I hoped, and am starting pretty much where I left off in December...plus about two pounds. That should come off in a flash.

I'm amazed how a much a little time off can effect rep counts. Nothing drastic, but I hoped to be able to match where I left off in the first workout. Close, but not quite the same. I definitely struggled with ab ripper more than I thought, but I hunted on Saturday, assigning myself "designated driver" and if you have ever hunted through briars, reeds, cattails, etc., it's like doing dozens and dozens of different exercises. Crawling through the briars actually reminded me of dive bomber pushups.

Anyway, my hip flexors and glutes were sore today from Saturday, so that may have affected my reps.

Good stuff...already looking forward to working out tomorrow.

First time doing Plyo (you don't do it with Lean).

SUCKED!

Plyo has a tendency to make you want to throw up. Very intense.

I like the plyo so much, that's literally the only DVD I do out of the set. I don't get into the kick boxing stuff, yoga, or the lifting stuff because I'm gonna wait until I get some actual dumbbells. Bands are too difficult because there's so much variation in tensions and hard to keep track of.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I always warn folks: Rock Star Hops & Jump Knee Tucks blow.

Even Tony says, "I'm feelin' kinda nauseous--I don't like it that much."

I hate it. But I love it! Not really.

They are the worst...especially when you are one of those "White Boys [who] Can't Jump".

This is an understatement...the rock star hops/knee tucks I did on Saturday still hurt my knees today...I am going to have to cut out the the "hop" and modify.
