I have been looking forward to Core Syn this time around, if only due to the fact that skipping days due to coaching makes me feel like I am dogging it a little bit. So a good hard workout is exactly what I required to get me back in the swing. Core Syn, as usual, [...]

Day 1 of rest week 5. Supposed to be Yoga, may Plyo instead. The thing about this coaching lark is that it has thrown my workout schedule so far out of whack I can’t keep my days straight. Thankfully I am only 7 days away from completing the program and getting my P90X stripes. That [...]

So my last entry lamenting the fact that I missed my last weights day was a little premature. Fact is that I have one day left. The day 81 workout was the Kenpo that I switched with Yoga leaving me with Legs and Back today and then Yoga on Friday (or not, as noted). So [...]

I can feel the curtain closing as I embark upon these weight days for the last time during this, my first stab at P90X. Today was Back and biceps, the glamour workout as Tony calls it. This is week 12, week 13 being the last rest week which means that since I have done the [...]

For the record, here is a response I sent to a friend regarding the difference in the 3 versions of P90X. So here is the deal. Classic means you do one workout per day for the 90 days. Just follow the program with the 7th day an optional stretch or day off. With Doubles, you [...]

Back, Legs, Kenpo Had to… two often misused and overused words. However, I had to take Friday off. It was inevitable and unavoidable that after the first week of coaching that I would be very sore, very cranky and very tired. Although this should not have prevented me from going down to the basement with [...]

Yoga I was ready for the pain, even though I did very little at coaching I remember from the last 3 years that the first couple of weeks are very painful. Mostly due to the fact that we leave the house at around 6-630 in the morning and don’t get home until after 9pm so [...]

Chest, Shoulders and Arms. So P90X took a back seat to the flooring. I knew it would have to so I was prepared. Besides, the flooring installation was the kind of thing that is the reason that I was doing P90X in the first place. The ability to work like a normal person, to work [...]

Plyo – Sept 1 2009 Lucky it is late Labour Day this year otherwise we would be coaching today! Today is Fake Friday for me. I have the rest of the week off to do the floors so this is my last day woohoo!!! There is nothing better than a fake Friday, especially if it [...]

Chest and Back Today I elected to take it easy. It’s not that I don’t want to go all out during the workout it is more that I know if I hurt myself now I will mess up my ability to get the floors done. If I do that, we will be living on bare [...]
