Been a While

I haven’t posted in a long time and I’ve sort of dropped the ball on the whole exercising thing. To be honest, I’ve been lazy and I’ve been living off of bread, cheese and wine for a few days. Thankfully, I haven’t gained weight but I noticed that my body is adjusting to the change. [...]

Weekly Update IX

Exercise Plan It’s the tail end of the Recovery Week and the start of Phase 3 of P90x Doubles. I felt a bit under the weather and took a 3 day break…sigh. Another delay in completing the final phase of P90X, but hopefully it will be the last. Instead of doing cardio exercises three times [...]

Weekly Update VIII

Exercise Plan Working out after a 3 day break isn’t the easiest thing to do. I had to ease my body back into the workouts which extended my schedule once again. Plyometrics: Plyo is always more difficult to complete after the weekend and this week was no exception. I ended the workout 15 minutes early [...]

Weekly Update VII

Exercise Plan It’s Week 7 of P90X Doubles, one more week until Recovery Week. I only got through half the week before I felt super tired and I needed a break. But that doesn’t mean I was a lazy bum….I just haven’t been doing P90X. But once Monday comes around, I’ll be back on it! [...]

Weekly Update VI

Exercise Plan So it’s the second week of Phase II in P90X Doubles (Week 6/13). I decided that Cardio X is too easy as the second workout and instead, I’ll be doing Plyometrics as my extra dose of cardio. It really gets my heart rate up. Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X, Plyometrics: Did [...]

Supplements for Exercise

When it comes to supplements, I try to limit its usage as much as possible. I believe that you don’t really need them if you eat a complete balanced diet. This is my opinion for my current lifestyle and I’m sure other people have different needs. Since there are few people out there who do [...]

Weekly Update V

Exercise Plan This week was supposed to be a normal week, but I felt lazy so I had a two day break from P90X. I know, I should have been more disciplined, but this is real life and I am not perfect. The doubled workouts aren’t too bad and it’s just what I needed. In [...]

Weekly Update IV

Exercise Plan Since I offset my P90X plan, my rest days are on Tuesdays. So, this week, it was the last two days of my Recovery Week and I’m starting on Phase Two, Week 1 of Doubles. I took two extra days off since my shoulders were feeling strange and I needed more rest. But [...]

End Phase I of P90X

It officially took me 45 days to complete Phase I of P90X Doubles. The first 30 days (Phase I) is scheduled just like Classic, so there was no doubling up of workouts aside from adding Ab Ripper X to the strength program. My delay in completing Phase I was due to a week of traveling [...]

Weekly Update III

Exercise Plan For 5 days while my cousin was visiting, the only exercise I got was walking around town. Believe you me, this was a workout since we were on our feet for 10 hours+ a day. But on Wednesday, I started back up with P90X for Week 4 of Phase I, recovery week. I [...]
