P90X – Week Done, Shoulder Injury Stops Workouts

Phil — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:59:29 +0000

Well I didn’t do a great job of keeping my diary up did I. I enjoyed the workouts and continues to push through them. I enjoyed the kenpo and plyometrics DVDs and “struggled” with the push-ups.

I made it into the seventh week but suffered a shoulder injury, actually both shoulders. I think this was mainly due to my poor technique related to the push-ups and the pull-ups — who knew there were so many variations. I really did enjoy the workouts and would recomend the series. I just wish I had been a little more aware of my technique so I could have avoided the injury.

You might of guessed that these P90X Diary posts aren’t recent. These P90X blog entries had been previously entered, just not published until now. I’ve been off the P90X system for a while now.

Due to the shoulder injury I have not been able to play golf. It’s also curtailed other fitness avenues that I enjoy. My wife and I have continued to walk as much as we can.

I have, however, found something new and exciting that I am going to try. I need to do something to lose the belly fat and lose some weight.

Check back for those blog entries shortly.

P90X – Week Two (and a bit of Week Three)

Phil — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:00:46 +0000

This got started well. I wasn’t the madman I was for the first week. I planned on making sure I still had something in the end to be able to push myself. It’s really nice to be able to have a different work out every day.

The muscles are still sore but I am working through it. It’s nice how one day is a “muscle” work out and the next is an aerobic one. I was able to do more.

This week was a little tough as I need to take a break on day 3. I finished the Plyometrics work out and the next day everything was fine. Somewhere between walking to work (may have slipped on some ice) and about mid-day … my hip started to hurt.

I rested 3 days before feeling 100% to work out again …

P90X – Week One DONE!

Phil — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:00:18 +0000

Wow, I put it off and put it off … finally I started. There are 12 DVDs in all. For the first three weeks you workout to 7 of them. The first one was a killer. I began to wonder what I got myself into. It was a Chest and Shoulder workout consisting of Pull-ups and Push-ups for one hour. ONE HOUR!

I was a superman at the beginning but at the end of the workout, I couldn’t even do a single push-up. I did not feel very well after this work out. It did take me some time to recover.

My arms killed me for the week. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue but by the end of the week, I wasn’t feeling too bad. A few aches and pains for an old guy but overall, pretty good.

P90X – 90 Days from Regular to Ripped

Phil — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:00:19 +0000

Okay I broke down and bought the video series. I had to lose the gut in all honesty … it wasn’t big but it was there. I felt my over all level of fitness wasn’t too bad but could use improvement. I plan to keep a diary like this to keep myself honest with the program.

My starting weight is 180.5 lbs with 23% body fat. There’s a fitness test you do at the beginning of the workout program and I maxed out at 2 1/2 chin-ups. All the rest of the test results were not too bad … but two and a half chin-ups.

They want you to do before and after pictures, so to really embarrass myself, here they are. Hold on … here come are the before pics.

P90X has an eating program but I’m not going to follow it to the letter. I have changed my diet to something similar so I’ll stay with what I am doing. Obviously burning more calories in daily workouts will help greatly. Besides I really enjoy healthy chocolate as my treats.

Now off to the back room and work out!

Get Fit Get Free Just Doing Various Exercises

Phil — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:47:06 +0000

Diet is an important part to healthy living, but cutting calories alone is not going to give you the kind of results you are really looking for. In order to create a form that is healthy, strong, and toned, you have to exercise.

The best way to go about exercising for health and beauty is to incorporate various different exercises. An essential element is cardiovascular exercise, which gets the heart rate up and helps burn off calories. Burning more calories than you consume causes the body to rely on fat stores as a source of energy, so essentially your body eats away your spare tire! After all, doing all the crunches in the world will not give you a visible six-pack if there is a layer of fat over it. Running, dancing, and biking are some examples of cardiovascular exercise.

The other important exercise is strength or resistance training. These exercises help tone and build muscles for strength and a youthful appearance. You can use these exercises to tone or bulk up, depending on the amount of resistance you use and the number of repetitions. Exercises like bicep curls, lunges, and push-ups are all examples of resistance or strength training.

Now that you know a little about getting in shape, how would you like to hear about how to get in shape and make money while doing it? Get Fit Get Free is a business opportunity for folks just like you looking to get in the best shape of their lives while making an unlimited amount of cash.

Get Fit Get Free starts by analyzing your body type, fitness goals, and fitness level, gives you a standardized fitness test, and then customizes a program that is suited to your needs and schedule. There is no need to give up your favorite foods either – just follow the program and eat a reasonably healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein.

Get Fit Get Free provides almost 1000 exercise videos and tells you exactly when and how to do them. After your workout, you can provide your information and see progress tracked. Receiving constant feedback will allow you to stay motivated and focused on your goal.

To start Get Fit Get Free, you only need $489 for the one-time fee (for June 2010 while in pre-launch this will only be $189, a savings of $300), and then a $100 per month membership fee. Up to 10 people are included in this price – and right now, you get the second month free!

The genius of this program is its utilization of network marketing, which will allow you to start and maintain your own business and earn a constant revenue stream – with unlimited earning potential.

For each person you help get started on their fitness and professional goal, you earn $150. After you help two people get started, you will be bumped up to a $200 start up bonus, plus you will get paid when the people you have helped help others. There are even more ways to earn, including incentives like travel.

Don’t miss this opportunity to Get Fit Get Free. You will be able to get into the best shape of your life, while making money, and helping others does the same.
