P90X Again - Chest, Shoulders & Tris and Abs Core+

Grrrr. Anyone else just love Phil in this video? He reminds me so much of a grumpy ole fisherman from the Northwest. How can he be an attorney? Funny!

Great workout today, again came home for lunch so Christina could do lunch with a friend. Hopefully selling lots of the "X"!!!! Chest, Shoulders & Tris....always good. I pushed hard hard hard today and got to the Airborne Push ups and was way pooped....so I clapped only. Yep, pooped. Abs Core+ is a great workout to finish with, a blend of Abs and Core, but a lot of Total Body. Part of the P90X+.

I hate to keep ranting about nutrition, but again today I had someone who is working out hard at a gym (Cardio and now Resistance) tell me, "I'm hungry all the time." So...I asked what he was eating....Do you think it was enough? NO! But...he argued with me that because of his age (50's) that its not as easy as it is for younger people to shed weight. Dang the excuses! People are so afraid to eat. Eating good, whole foods is not going to make you fat if you are on a good exercise regiment. Eating an 8 oz chicken breast, is no where near the same as eating 8 oz of chicken fried steak!!! Don't fear the food! If you feel hungry, that means you are...FUEL YOUR BODY! As I started this post..."GRRRRR!"

P90X Again - IntervalX+

Sweat Dump....can I get a towel please?!? If you are done or close to being done with P90X, seriously consider P90X+...Its workouts like IntervalX+ that get you realizing that there is more that you can push your body into doing and it feels great! Short workout, but super packed full of cardio burn! Awesome.

OK....I have to do a little nutrition talk here. Folks, if you don't think you are loosing enough weight while dedicating yourself to P90X or any other Beachbody workout....do not, DO NOT, drop your calories! It's all about muscle confusion not calorie confusion! 1200-1400 calories is not going to cut it on these programs. If you want to burn fat, kick up the proteins and simply eat good for you food! If you modify a car to get better gas mileage and performance, you don't empty the fuel out of it.....do you? When you try to drop calories and do these workouts, you are doing exactly the same thing....robbing your body of fuel. Did anyone else read the P90X Nutrition Guide? (Weight x 10) x 1.2 = Caloric Need just to live....now add 600. This is for real and it works. To think you are going to burn at least 800 calories doing Plyometrics....imagine why you feel bonked if your intake for the day is 1200....sheesh. Christina and I have talked to so many people who are getting into these silly "Cardio Boot Camps" at the gym who are simply not eating enough good food. These boot camps are pushing 1200 calories and having people do hard cardio 6 times per week!!!! Stupid! And to think they are making money this way. Not to say they won't lose weight and inches, but they are losing muscle in the process and will not keep off the weight. OK ramble over! Eat Right and Eat Plenty!

P90X Again - Back & Biceps and ABRipperX

I really like that workout....and with the pull ups getting better and better I'm really liking the results I'm seeing. What I don't like right now was the "3 Day Weekend" that we just came out of. I spent a late night Friday at a customer site only to have to return Saturday to get pooped big time. But...I did come home and knock out Upper+ from the P90X+ Series....these are a great addition to P90X as there are some great workouts to checkout!

Sunday, we headed to an old friend of Christina's in Wichita Falls, TX....a 3 1/2 hour drive, but worth it knowing that when we left, they were well on track to P90X success. They're going to do great! I did however, while we where there, discover that having a pull up bar on a normal 7 foot door sucks! Kevin had his pull up bar in about an 8 1/2 foot door which I had to reach up to....OH I've been missing that!!!??? I was yanking out pull ups on that thing like you wouldn't believe! Even a couple of one handed chin ups! DOH!

Well after today's Back & Biceps and Abs I had Christina take some pics of the back results....(seems like the popular pic these days)....I'm pretty happy with the results.
