P90X Day 30

P90X Day 30

Jen: Hi everybody! I am Tom’s wife, Jen. Some of you probably saw me in the first video. I spent 4 weeks doing Tony’s 10 Minute Trainer and have decided to kick things up a notch. During that program I lost 3 lbs, 2 inches in my bust, 1 1/2 inches in my waist, and 1 inch on my hips. I also dropped a dress size. Now that I feel in better shape I thought I’d join the big boys. So today was my first official day starting P90X. I am doing the same as Tom, following the nutrition guide and such. Had a whole wheat bagel and orange for breakfast, protein bar for the AM snack, shrimp and broccoli for lunch, fruit for a PM snack, and some pasta for dinner. Let me tell you I needed all that food!!! I have done some of the routines with Tommy just tooling around. Never really went all out. Now I am tired as hell! My legs are screaming at me! Even the thought of a shower seems like too much work. We did Plyometrics today. 58 minutes of jumping and squatting and twisting and turning. I definately took a few extra 30 sec breaks. One word of advice…..don’t drink too much water during the breaks. Otherwise you end up jumping up and down and then have the sudden urge to pee! Was hard to breath for a bit there……only because Tom kept farting through most of the workout! I swear he lost a pound just in gas LOL! I made it through though. I will admit to slacking a bit towards the end. Wasn’t really giving it my all, but you gotta cut me some slack. It was my first day. So I am proud of myself to have achieved just one workout. Now let’s see if I can bring it for the rest of the week. After doing this, I’ve decided taking it one week at a time is going to be the only way. Definately intense, definately draining, definately worth it! Wish me luck!!!

Tom: HI!! Woke up late today did not get out of bed until 7:34. I need to be to work at 8:00 so I rushed, still had time to get my breakfast whole wheat bagel with peanut butter , a glass of milk and my coffie. I even had time to get my sons breakfast also we were the only ones up at that time. Work was good today nice and steady throughout. Snack for A.M was a P90X protein bar. Lunch was Low fat Dragonfire chicken with brocilli, wild rice, tomato, little tiny oranges. I had a diet coke to drink with my lunch, also I ate some pot stickers for my appertizer, I ate the lettuce and tomato pieces that were on the plate too. Afternoon snack was carrot sticks with hummas. Dinner was shrimp with whole wheat noddles and a salad with 2 spoons of ranch dressing. Before we started the workout my family and I played the WII. We played golf that was a fun time,its nice to be able to do fun things with your family! My wife read to the kids a new book about a mouse in a castle,its a new book so they are enjoying it. I do not read that much but it is nice just to sit and chill and listen to the book being told while you are having family time. The workout PLYOMETRICS I am still a tiny bit wea in the arms from last night. But lucky for me I do not have to lift weights for this. My jumping has improved over this workout, I can really feel myself doing a much nicer jumps than what I was doing a few weeks ago. My performance has improved as far as the run jumps, the jumping and landings. My legs do feel it from top to bottom. During the military march which I thing out of that whole entire workout is one of the easier ones. durning this I was having trouble just lifting my legs up in full postion I was keeping good form in my amrs and keeping a good stance posture. Durning the chair excercise were you bring your leg over the top of it from left to right. At first I was doing them over the back side of the chair the highest spot of the chair, thats way above my midsection. towards the end I hit the chair over,my form got a tiny bit sloppy so for the next round of it I did a regular.lifting my feet over the sitting part of the chair to keep a cleaner more suitable form the workout was also leaving me dizzy during all the jump and turns. I had a good workout tonight it is always a good time when you can jump back and forth in your living room. Creak jump dont fall in the water !!!!!!!! or though your floor (O__O) be well and have a great night,Im Blogged and now I will LOG……………….Bring it P90X
