P90X Day 45
Tom: Hello everyone today my breakfast from the P90X nutrition plan was a glass of milk and a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter. My A.M snack was a P90X protein bar. For lunch I had a bowl of chicken noddle soup with a glass of water My P.M. snack was a almond cruchy granola bar. For dinner I had Chicken, sweet potato, and spinach, and a glass of milk. My day at work went O.K. There must be something with these PT Cruiser’s I had to do a head gasket today on a 2004 2.4 cylinder DOHC. They stink I just did one a few weeks back I remeber talkig about one then. I;m almost done with it, I just have to tighen up a few loose ends. I need to hook up the ehaust, and the side lower engine mount to the frame. Also I need to charge back up the air conditioning cause you have to disconnect the hoses to get to the upper motor monut. My workout tonight went great I used my 25lbs dumb bells for all my excercises except the last one today. All my pull ups, chin ups and reverse pullups were done with my blue band. My lawnmowers and my elbow out lawnmowers were all 10 times at 25lbs!!! My open am curls are improving also I try to keep my body still and use my arms only without jerking my body around to get the cleanist form possible. My curl up hammer down today was 12 times 25 lbs. I did very well with those. My max pullups towards the end was 21 total thats a good number for me as far as I am concerned cause by the end of this I can barly put up those 25lbs dumb bells. My arms get very spongee during tonights workout but I do feel improvements while pumping up these reps to excercise ratios. BRING IT people BRING IT!!!! Supermans were fun I try to get myself other than my stomach area right up off the ground and hold for as long as I can while I breath. This is an excellent workout timing wise it’s just what you need to get in a very nice workout and really feel it after you are done. Abripper X was draining tonight but I held up and finished. I skipped climbing my legs but did 60 masion twists to do a few extra for skipping me leg climb.
Jen: Hello everyone. Hope all of you are doing good and working hard. It makes me so happy to know that we have inspired/encouraged some of you to start your own programs or what have you. It is great to have someone know what you are going through and can offer support. I love hearing from those of you who are in the X commuity as well. Your day 30 pics are showing awesome improvements. Keep up the hard work! I swear I am hitting that half way point of “do I really have another 45 days inme?” But I know I do. I start work here in just a few short days. That’ll be the real challenge! But anyways, tonight was back, biceps, and ab ripper. I am making some great progress here. I am still using the orange bands for my back exercises and switching between 8 and 10 lb free weights for biceps work. As I said before, the bands kinda get cumbersome during the workout. I am doing between 10-12 reps and definately feeling the burn. I really enjoy doing this workout because it’s one of the few where I feel like I can kick ass. No lagging for me on this one. I rock it out! Now granted I’m not using 25lb weights like Tommy, but I’m still bringing it in my own right. My form is improving on ab ripper. Still struggle with the oblique crunches, but the rest are really coming together. I was doing the typical girl thing last night and scoping out my progress before I got in the shower. My inner thighs used to be really loose and flabby, now there is a good chunck of muscle where that flab used to reside. HA! I LOVE IT! So I will see you all tomorrow for yoga. I’m loving that too! Remeber guys, you can do it! <insert silly moving quote here>
