So happy to see you again. Wishing you more happy health!

I started P90X today! I have been preparing for this for weeks and today is the day I committed to making the biggest changes in my overall health and wellness. What is P90X? It is an extreme home fitness training system. The P90X system is designed to get you totally ripped and in the best shape of your life within 90 days. The training is based on a principle called “Muscle Confusion,” which means training the muscles through a variety of intense and challenging routines that confuses the body thereby forcing it to work harder to keep up.

P90X contains 12 workouts that include traditional pushing and pulling exercises as well as yoga, Kenpo, stretching, plyometrics – just to name a few. It is a whole body fitness system that creates endurance, speed and strength.

With the P90X program I will be doing the suggested nutrition plan, supplements, P90X Results and Recovery Formula and protein bars. This is not reduced calorie plan, in fact I will be adding an additional 600 calories to my normal daily caloric needs. This is going to take a lot of preparation and planning on my part.

I will schedule and complete my workouts in WOWY (Work Out With You), which is the Beachbody virtual SuperGym. Each day you log your workout in the WOWY SuperGym, you will be automatically entered in the Daily Sweepstakes. I could win $300 cash, and iPod, or other great prizes just for working out… so cool!

I have a great support system through my Team Beachbody network of workout buddies in the SuperGym along with my fellow independent Beachbody Coach’s, Beachbody customers and family and friends. I have all the support and tools I need and now all I need to do is press play on the DVD player every day, eat healthy, get plenty of rest AND believe in myself. This is going to be an intense journey. I know I will have to push myself harder than I have since USAF basic training. There is nothing I cannot do!

Review of first day: Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X
I completed all but the last few abdominal exercises. I am presently struggling with pull-ups. In fact, I placed the toe of one foot on a chair to help myself. I am not ashamed of that, as I have NEVER been able to do a pull-up in my life. That is about to change! My goal with P90X is to be able to do five unassisted pull-ups by the end of the program. I was able to do half of the push-ups on my toes and then completed the rest of the sets on my knees. Just as I did with ChaLEAN Extreme, I focused on form and technique and not the number of reps or how quickly I could get through it.

My arms are weak now and my shoulders are pumped and warm. I have a strong upper back and I don’t feel too much there yet. Since I ran out of steam on the Ab Ripper X DVD, I probably won’t feel too much soreness in my abdominals tomorrow.

I downed my P90X Results & Recovery Formula right after I finished and then had an egg white and veggie omelet with a Greenberry Shakeology and a cup of hot green tea. My body is refueled and ready to get on with the day.

I have included pictures of before I started working out (what was I thinking wearing a bikini?!) and then since I just completed the 90 Day ChaLEAN Extreme program you can consider the other shots the “after” for ChaLEAN Extreme as well as the “before” for P90X, which I took last night, June 30, 2009. I will take pictures along the way and keep my progress updated on here.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the Beachbody products I mentioned above or if you would like help getting on a home fitness program that is right for you. Beachbody has a variety of workout programs – I’m sure there is one calling your name right now… hear it?

I am always looking for more people to help achieve their health and fitness goals. If you order from me, I will be your personal Team Beachbody Coach. I can help you choose the right fitness program for you and give you guidance and support on nutrition and lifestyle choices. I LOVE to help people reach their goals!! I have a great team of Beachbody Coaches across the United States that can help you as well. Together Everyone Achieves More – TEAM! Let’s talk!

Much happiness and good health to you!
