P90X Review end of Week#2

Here it is almost the end of my 2nd week of P90X.  If I had to review this week I’d say that it was a turning point for me.  I’ve lost 8-9 pounds over the last 12 days.  I can get through all of the P90X DVD’s that are part of my routine.  The first week I couldn’t make it through all of P90X Plyometrics or P90X Yoga X.

This week I got through every workout that I did.  My body is over the initial soreness that comes at the startup of the P90X series.  I had my back worked on twice by a chiropractor and felt much better, although at the moment, my back is hurting again.  Perhaps I threw it out a little last night while I was playing racquetball. I’ve played 2 hours of racquetball every day for 4 days in a row along with my morning P90X routine.

I’m breathing better, which is wonderful.  My arms feel better.  My shoulder is still sore, but it’s getting better.  I can tell that I’m getting stronger again.

Another benefit I’ve noticed is that my balance is much better.  Its interesting how my whole body responds to these workouts.  I would say it’s a pretty complete workout…..every part of my body has been sore at one point or another and at the moment the soreness is subsiding.

I have to make sure that I keep a good attitude throughout this next week because this is about the time that I let down and eat a bunch of crap and don’t stay focused.  I’ve lost 8-9 pounds…..but I have 66 more to go.

I did P90X Kenpo X today and kept up with it really well.  Out of all the P90X workouts this is the one that seems to be the easiest for me.  I still sweat a lot while doing it, but I don’t feel like I’m going to drop dead in the middle of it like I’ve felt while doing Plyometrics.

My goal this weekend……no junk food.  No ice cream, no chips, no cookies, etc.

I guess I’ll see how it goes…..have a great weekend everybody!
