Taking on p90x
Over the last two weeks, I've really started kicking my butt back into gear. It's kind of amazing how that happens when you look at a calendar and realize that (surprise, surprise), Miss Virginia keeps getting closer! In fact, we're under the five month mark.
Luckily, I have a very supportive boyfriend (who will remain blog-anonymous for now :) ) who has decided to tackle p90x with me.
I actually got p90x for Christmas during my junior year of college. The first time I tried it, I lasted a grand total of four weeks before falling off the wagon. However, in those four weeks, I saw some pretty amazing results.
Kind of amazing what happens when you work out hard six times a week, combining cardio and weight training, huh? And then add in good nutrition?
Anyways, we're nine days in, and are on our second week of the first cycle of workouts. Highs of the week have included: Doing assisted pull-ups instead of using bands for the second time through shoulders and chest, Kenpo, and post-workout meals (gonna start featuring some of these on here). Lows were today's Plyo session (turns out Plyo on tired legs is not as fun) and Yoga X (turns out I'm not as flexible as I want to be).
I will say that p90x is way better when you do it with someone else. Plus, doing it with someone else certainly helps with accountability as well.
I'm also logging my workouts on Fitocracy now. You should join and follow me!
Anyone done the whole 90 days of p90x? Did you follow the nutrition plan as well? What were your results?

I have done p90x twice! You are definitely right about working out with a partner...I tried p90x by myself when I was a junior in high school and I lasted less than a month...I started last year with my hubby and the results are awesome. I did not really lose weight because I gained some muscle, but I went from a size 6 to a size 2!!!! I was not even on the nutrition plan; however, I was eating well. We are starting our third round this week and we are going to try and diet this time :) Good luck with your p90x adventures and remember- "Just keep pushing play & bring it!"
