P90X Day 84
Week 9 Video again for anyone who missed it!
Hello happy sunday everyone today i had eggs with tomato, spinach leafs, mushrooms, grated cheese, ham, and a coffee black. My morning went as follows I helped out with some housr chores, My son and I read a few books, played with his new hot wheels action set up, and we both played the Wii boxing and bowling ( that was to warm myslef up for throwing my punches for my workout today. My A.M. snack was a recovery drink, which came a the right time cause just cleaning your house is a pretty hard job dusting, vaccuming, cleaning counters, etc. So the P90X recovery drink came in handy today. For lunch I had Chicken, brocclli, noddles, tomato, peppers. I had a glass of milk to drink with lunch. After lunch I walked/ ran my golden retriever EMMA she needs to be walked / ran on a daily. She’s a golden she needs exercise, If I had it my way she would be doing the P90X program, but walking/ running her and throwing her her tennis ball will do just fine so she gets the exercise she needs as well. Today my good friend jerry came up to my house to blow apart Kenpo X with me. We both used weights today for all punches, blocks. He had velcrow hand wraps attached to his hands, I used 3 lbs weights for all my excercises. Today we both did great and we were bringing it to the max capacity. I did great with my punches, kicks, and blocks today. As I have said before it’s always great to have a workout buddy to work with you. Jerry and I did very well on kenpo today, adding the weights really was the topper for the day. When you add weights you up the ante. Today being my last kenpo of the P90X I had to bring out what I was made of and thats pure excellence. Remeber Just blow out the walls and bring it to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jerry and I have done kenpo together before so It was a great way to get in a nice workout and just have some fun with my good friend!!! P90X every1 get it you will see for yourselves this program is great. My dinner tonight was turkey, squash, asperigus, and a sam adams winter lager. Curotesy of my wife she went to the store to get some stuff for tonights dinner and I asked her to pick me up some beverages…ice cold beverages, Well folks this is it for me//////I now go onto my recovery week So for me 6 days left till I round out my (90) days so for all of you out there from me Tom I brought it and I will finish 6 more till I will be a graduate!!!!!! P90X !!!! YEA BABY!!!!!
Hi tom i was just wondering about your physical phitness when you started this program. I’ve been trying to motivate myself to work out alot but i usually quit after two weeks and start up again like the next month sometimes its like a never ending battle of soreness i know if i keep at it you don’y feel as sore or wahtever but my hopes are since this is like a challenge(alot of my friends say this is hard to do for even fit people) and it has an end(90 days or whatever) i can actually motivate myself to finish it… jsut wondering if you think this would be right for someone like me…
When I started the program I wasn’t in horrible shape. Go ahead and click on my day 1 link at the top of the site to see my pic. But, as you can see was not in anywhere near as good of shape as I am now!!
The soreness is just part of it. The funny thing is the hardest part of P90X (or maybe any workout program) is the FIRST 2 WEEKS!!!!!!! After that it actually gets better. Your body will become used to it. That’s not to say you won’t have a little “day after” soreness but you won’t be in the same agony like the first couple days!
The first 2 weeks are brutal then it starts to get easier on you. But you know it’s that soreness that is an indication that your body is getting results. They say You don’t build muscle in the workout stage, you build muscle while at rest. I recommend the P90X recovery drink, it honestly does help get you back in the rhythm faster.

If you’re not extremely overweight then you can do this program in my opinion. Sounds like you just have to get your mind set on it!!
