P90X Week 2 – Legs & Back and Kempo Workouts

Sep 16th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

It’s actually Sunday and I’m writing this on my day of rest. Friday we did legs and back and maybe I just like this workout but the 2 times we’ve done it I’ve really felt like I was able to ‘Bring It’. That’s a good feeling. Ended up a bit sore on Saturday but it [...]



P90x Week 2 – Yoga X

Sep 15th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

I have got to admit that I was not feeling it today.  Low energy dogged me during yoga X.  I’m not a big fan of yoga but that’s pretty much because I’m not very flexible.  So I do it because Tony tells me to, not because I like it. The 90 minute workout is getting [...]



P90x Week 2 – Plyometics & Arms and Shoulders

Sep 14th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

Plyometrics during week 1 was so hard, so daunting, I had a moment of weakness where I thought I might just quit the program.  Of course I came to my senses and realized that worst case, I’d have to do is replace it with Cardio x moving forward.  But this Tuesday when the schedule said [...]



P90x Week 2 – Chest and Back Workout

Sep 12th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

Funny thing happened.  I went into this workout thinking I would do really well and frankly came up short of my expectations.  I felt really weak but I’m not sure why other than Chris and I did not take the full rest period that we would ordinarily have.  On our current rotation, legs and back [...]



P90x Rest Day #1

Sep 11th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

Now the program is 6 days of workouts followed by 1 day of rest.  But we really wante to be on a Monday through Saturday rotation with Sunday as our day of rest so we skipped Kenpo this week and took today off.  We are also using Sundays as diet indulgence days.  Some would call [...]



P90X Day 5 – Legs and Back

Sep 10th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

Hmmn …  This workout was pretty tough.  I’m still woking on getting out one good pull up without any assist.  (Read more about my transformation here).  Loads of squats and loads of pull ups of various kinds.  Tony says at the end that if you did 20 reps on all the pull ups you would [...]



P90X Day 4 – Yoga

Sep 8th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

My first yoga workout had me sweating like a pig for the first 30 minutes.  Tony has you go through this series of moves including upward dog and downward dog and various warrior poses that is way harder than it looks.  Many poses in the next segment I struggled with and one I didn’t even [...]



P90x Day 3 – Arms & Sholders plus Ab RipperX

Sep 7th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

After thinking yesterday I was in WAY over my head on this, today’s workout restored my faith in myself and my ability to complete this program.  I’m not saying that the arms and shoulder workout is easy – it isn’t – but it didn’t nearly break me (physically and emotionally) either. And when I did [...]

P90x Day 1 Complete

Sep 5th, 2010 | By Coach Nancy | Category: P90X Transformation Diary

Today we did chest and back followed by the ab ripper x workout. Tough?  … Yes.  But we plowed through it and we completed the workouts.  Tomorrow is Plyometrics.  I thought I sweat alot today but I’m guessing tomorrow’s workout will have me sweating even further. We worked out in the morning and I’m not [...]
