In and out of gyms for the last 20 years -- I've never been in the shape I am right now and it's only getting better. I can honestly say that Beach Body Products (specifically P90X Extreme Training System) have changed my life and it's a dream come true to be able to share what I have learned with people like you. If you would like to experience diligent training, I would be honored to be your coach. Contact me and I'll tell how to make that happen. I'll do everything I can to make sure you exceed your fitness goals and my coaching won't cost you a dime.

The Soreness

Wow! All though I'm not nearly as sore as I was when I first did the X, it's great to feel like I've been lifting again. Had Shoulders and Arms today down in the hotel workout center. This one at Marriott Courtyard has a little dumbbell set up to 30 pounds so I was able to get a great resistance workout in. As I mentioned in my last entry, it's definitely a challenge to match the intensity of the workout when you're not working out with Tony.

New Round Starts

As I type this I'm feeling that familiar sore feeling the day after starting P90X. I can honestly say though that after weeks almost finishing Insanity, I'm not nearly as sore as I was when I first attempted the X.

It was a challenge working out here at the hotel I'm staying at because the workout room did not have a chin up bar and there was not a convenient place to put my door adapter to simulate pullups with a band. Also, I currently don't have a portable DVD player (I plan to get one before my next business trip) and so I had do the Chest and Back routine strictly from the worksheet. Still a great workout but not quite the same as working out along with the DVD.

Tonight I was not able really get a good Plyo workout in. There really is no way to duplicate that workout without the DVD. I worked up a good sweat but it will be much more effective with Tony.

It's great to be back working out with resistance. After months of Insanity I must say I have lost some size in my upper body but I do feel much stronger cardio wise.
