Me before and after completing P90X

Days 59 to 90

Weeks 10 to Week 13

The time has come, I have finished P90X. Two words WHOO-HOO. I can't believe it's over, it kind of makes me sad. These last three weeks have been very hard, but I did it. From week 9 to week 13 was extreme, it was the hardest weeks. I always gave it my all. And plus I never missed a day of P90X. To make it even more extreme; I have kickboxing twice a week at 1 1/2 hours per session...with running to go with it. I Love kickboxing, I just love it.

Ive noticed a difference from week one to week 13. More reps, heavier weights and getting through all the video's without stopping. There are some workouts I didn't really care for like Ab ripper X. It was all good when I was finished. What can I say about it, it is very hard work. It takes a lot of dedication and lots of sweating (or should I say, DNA removal).

For all of you that want to know; YES P90X does work, it should if you are working your butt off. I think it is totally worth it I notice a difference everywhere, and plus I'm in the best shape of my life. I have never workout this much or this hard in my life. I have lost inch's, I have gained muscle, I''m stronger, more flexible, my cardio is better, and plus I can do pull ups and tons of push ups.

The start up cost is expensive, but worth it and plus it is cheaper than a gym membership. What you don't get at the gym in an amazing coach like Tony Horton. I just love the way he makes you want to do it everyday. I would love to meet him one day and hang out.

The hardest part I found was the food part. For the most part I ate pretty healthy.

I would also like to know if anyone out there is doing P90X Plus. Please let me know what you think.

Tomorrow will be the big reveal. I will have my pictures up and my new numbers. Everyone will see for themselves that it works. Let me know what you think.

For all you P90Xers out there bring it.

Days 52 to 58 week 8 and week 9


I have been really busy these last two weeks.On this week I did Yoga, Core Synergistics, Kenpo, rest core synergistics and Yoga and rest.And it was also my second rest week, coming from my last intense three weeks. And it was also the end of Phase 2. I found the core Synergistics better the second time around. So far I notice that I have more muscle definition, I also feel stronger, my balance has improved too. The rest week went really well.

Days 59 to 65 week9

The start of Phase 3, the last phase of P90X, and then five more weeks to go. From start to finish I did chest, back and ab ripperX, Plyometrics, Shoulders, arms and ab ripper X, Yoga, Legs, back and ab ripper X and Kenpo X. I also had kickboxing twice in the evenings. This week was so crazy I found this week hard too. I was really sore all week, it was pretty nuts. Was glad when it was my rest day. So far everything is going really good. And now I have four weeks to go can't wait.

Days 47 to 51

Phase 2 of P90X

On days 47 to 51 I did Yoga, Legs, Back and ab ripper X, Kenpo X and had a rest day.

Yoga was really good, I felt so good after, always do. Yoga also seems to be better, the length doesn't really brother me know. Every thing else went really great. I don't really have much to report...I finished week 7 of phase 2.

I bought some new protein powder called Isokool from Allmax Nutrition. As they say...

"It's a striking departure from the ordinary. Imagine an extremely high-quality Cold Temperature Process whey protein Kooler that tastes so good, you'll think you're drinking your favorite juice. The technology is called Flavor Bond and it has revolutionized the old notion that great protein drinks have to taste bad to be good. Flavor Bond has allowed the protein experts at Allmax Nutrition to create an easy-to-mix, delicious protein

Kooler with only 1 gram of carbs and zero fat. When you consider that you're also getting 22 g of pure whey protein in every scoop, that's truly amazing.

Isokool delivers cool, refreshing taste and is available in 3 delicious flavors Lemon Ice Tea, Green Apple and Tropical Fruit. Due to an instantization process, Isokool mixes easily in a shaker cup and doesn't require a blender. Served shaken, over ice — you've never had protein this good."

We'll see how it goes. I can tell you that I really like the taste.

Today I started week 8, the recovery week. Whoo-Hoo! This is the last week of phase 2. Today was Yoga which was really great, definitly more flexable.

Days 44 to 46

Phase 2 of P90X

Day 44 I did Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Ab ripper X. I found this a little harder than normal, I was still a little under the weather from yesterday. I did finish it and I was glad it was over, it felt like forever. Everything was burning after I was
finished. Ab ripper X I found hard as well. But then again, it's normally hard. I still can't believe week 7 is almost over and Phase 2.

Day 45 Plyometrics is What you call "the mother of all of P90X". Today I was also feeling normal so I worked
extra hard with some extra sweat to go with it. In the evening I had kickboxing which was a little harder from doing plyo this morning. Plyo and kickboxing on the same day is pretty crazy. I love the feeling of a great burn and twice in the same day. One word...awesome. I love kickboxing.


Day 46 Back,Biceps and Ab ripper X went super. I love the Bicep workouts, I also love doing weightlifting.

I tried some new protein bars called Oh Yeah!. Protein Wafer Bars by ISS Research. It is a scrumptious Cream filled Wafer Loaded With protein. They are very good.

Days 38 to 43

Phase 2 of P90X

It's been a while since I last posted about my P90X adventure. I'm still doing it and every thing is right on track. I would like to thank all of you for reading. On day 38 I did Plyometrics; I thought it went pretty good. I feel like I can jump higher and that I have more energy. This is a really big improvement from the first day. At first I didn't really like plyo, now I kinda enjoy it. It is still pretty crazy and you do burn a lot of calories.

On day 39 I did Back, Biceps and Ab ripper X. Here's proof that p90X is working. When I started I could hardly do one chin-up. Now I can do 5 on my own...Whoo-Hoo! Iam pretty happy about that. I am still not a fan of chin-ups though. :) Although I agree that it is a really work out. I like all the bicep workouts. There is a pretty good variety which keeps things interesting. The strip-set curls where crazy and my arms were burning after that. I did some heavier weights on some of the workouts and more reps.

Day 40 was Yoga. I did the crane for a whole 10 sec. LOL! I don't know how people do that. My balance is better and I do feel more flexible. I guess you would expect to get better if you are doing it for 1 hour and 30min. As usual, the Yoga helped my body feel better. That is one thing I love about yoga.

I did Legs, Back and Ab ripper X again on day 41. The leg workouts always make my legs burn. This is a good indication that it's an effective workout. I have noticed a difference in my legs, they seem to be more toned, which is what I was going for.

Day 42 - more Chin-ups and the that crazy ab ripper X workout. Ab ripper X is pretty hard core. I now have that video memorized. LOL! I hate it but I love it. So far, Kenpo X was the best workout for the week, It went really well.

And finally, day 43, my rest day. Thank god because I was a little under the weather.
This was my 6th week. It feels like I've been doing this forever and I can't wait to see what the end has to bring. I hope
everyone is still bringing it.

Days 35 to 37

Phase 2 of P90X

During these days I did Kenpo X, Rest, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Ab ripper x. Kenpo was good as always, I always find that time flys when doing this one. I was pretty sore from doing legs and Back the day before, my Gluteus Maximus was pretty sore the next day so I know I worked hard. The rest week may made me like this, it felt like I was starting all over from the first week. So far I found the first week and the first week of phase 2 to be the worst. Sunday was my rest day which was nice from of a crazy week.

Yesterday was my cheat day, so I had some birthday cake for my little girls birthday. I Couldn't say no because that would be wrong. So today I worked extra hard. tomorrow I will be doing Plyo and then kickboxing in the evening. I didn't really eat the greatest today. The rest of the week will be good, food wise.
