Some of these videos I have done before, mainly Cardio X, Kenpo X and Core Synergistics. I only did them once and didn't go back, primarily because I was doing some other workouts. But after doing 2 months of Insanity, I began to really miss the routine of getting up at 430am to push play on my workouts, not that I enjoy getting up at 430 in the morning, but that is the best time for me to get my workouts in. So I decided back in July that I would start the P90X program.
With some guidance from the Facebook team I'm on, Team Sixpackstriving (private page by invite only), I decided to set the date to start my 3 month adventure. So on Monday, I took the plunge. I ordered resistance bands through Amazon, while I don't "really" need those because I have free weights, I decided I'd get them to use when I want to challenge myself more and go for a different feel than what you get from free weights. I started with Cardio X on Monday, Kenpo X on Tuesday, Plyometrics on Wednesday, and Core Synergistics on Thursday, Friday is yet to be determined! Let me tell you, I am feeling the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) from the first few workouts.
While I want to follow the meal plan, I have yet to really sit down and give my full attention to the menu and decide what I'll fix for myself. I know with the holidays and my 40th birthday approaching, it is going to be hard to eat right, but I will certainly try my best. I have a good support system and I know I can do this if I really put my mind to it. My reasoning for getting and being fit is to be healthy inside and out, so that I can be here as long as I can for my kids and my husband. Exercise is great for your overall health and well-being, it is a great stress reliever. It doesn't have to be a Beach Body program that you workout to or any other type of program. It is whatever suits you best, a nice walk for 20-30 minutes everyday is a great way to stay in shape. Whatever you can do to just be fit and healthy, I encourage it! I will update my progress at day 30. Until then...
Be dedicated, motivated, and inspired!!!
