p90x

I am sure most of you have heard of the p90x craze. It's been around for a few years, and Jeremy and I are very late to jump on the bandwagon. Taking care of your body is SO important! Having young children at home, make working out so much more difficult. We are on Week 3 of the plan, and still going strong....even considering my bum ankle (that's a whole other story).






The hardest part for me is finding the time to workout. I am a mother, a wife, I work, and I am going back to school to get my Masters. This stuff keeps me very busy, but now I have to find 1-1 1/2 hours each day to work out. Jeremy and I been working out each night after McKenna goes to sleep. Macy watches, laughs, and uses this time as her downtime before she heads to bed. I love doing this because it is something we do together, and I have a workout partner!

Jeremy and I use the resistance bands, pull-up bar, and weights for these workouts. We workout for 6 days and take 1 day off. We have worked our schedule to have Firday nights be our off day. We always seem busy on Friday nights, and if we eat dinner out for the week, it's usually on a Friday night.

Here is a sample of a typical week:

Day 1 – Chest and Back (60 min), plus Ab Ripper X (16 min)
Day 2 – Plyometrics (60 min) *hardest workout in the program, in my opinion*
Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms (60 min), Ab Ripper X (16 min)
Day 4 – Yoga X (90 min)
Day 5 – Legs and Back (60 min), Ab Ripper X (16 min)
Day 6 – Kenpo X (60 min)
Day 7 – Rest

There are 13 discs, and each disc has a different workout. What I love about this is that each day is different and focuses on a different area of your body. Each week changes as you progress through the 13 week program.

Unless you are an active person, and are in decent shape, I would NOT recommend this program. It is very intense! We love it though!!!!!!
