Thursday 13 : A New Fitness Challenge: P90X

 

Since my next marathon training program won't start until January I thought this would be the perfect time to commit to an intensive strength training program. Details: the obligatory "before" photo, 4:30 a.m. workouts, a fitness coach, breakfast smoothies, DVD home workout (a first for me), motivation and inspiration, a training schedule, a nutrition plan, weights, and my favorite Smart Wool socks. 90 days. Intense. 7 days/week. Kicking my butt. Loving it!

Lovely lovely leaves. We don't get them much in our parts so I love seeing pics of them. And P90X? You go, it's so tough! But you'll feel great.

[Brenda]

You inspire me. I love your pictures and your efforts in running. Happy Fall.

You go girl!

[Jennifer Oberth]

Wow! Congrats on your commitment - can't wait to see how you do!!

[Hootin' Anni]

Our son, tho no longer running in marathons, has completed three of these. I know how grueling and demanding these 'races' are!! You go...your determination will make you a winner.

Good luck on the marathon and good luck with P90X! I'm eager to hear about your results :)

Happy TT,

My son does p90x. He loves it but, he would not let me take a before picture of him. I am going to do the yoga dvd some time.

Have a great Thursday!

Good luck with your new exercise program. Love the leaf pics!

You go girl! I tried two sessions (two one-hour sessions) of P90X and almost died ... I didn't go back to it. All the power to you - GOOD LUCK!

[Michelle]

You are a ROCK STAR!!! Seriously 4:30am! Congrats on the commitment :)

[Julie]

Good luck!!! that is on my list of things to do after I finish Portland on Sunday!! actually looking forward to doing something other than run!

[Rhonda]

I'm so glad I can be part of this journey with you! You are going to do great!

[sherilee]

You're an inspiration! Good luck with the P90X, I've heard good things (and lots of moans and groans too) about it!

My sisters all do the P90X. I actually have the dvds, but only do it very sporadically. I run and do body pump or yoga or whatever. Love that you are so driven. And your fall pics are gorgeous, as usual.

[Kimberly]

P90X? Seriously? I'm impressed. :)

Love your take on fall. Unique.

[megan]

love the combination of perspectives on leaves in each shot. makes for a great pair! and wow...i'm going to have to check out that workout program!

[Mel]

My word, I have so much admiration for you - 4.30am and workouts are two terms that I have trouble with! Good for you! xx

Wow... good for you. My brother and his wife do P90X and look great. I fear I need to start a bit more slowly than that. P90X would probably kill me from what I've seen of it. But in the long run that is a good goal for me to work toward. I gained some weight (my sympathy baby bump) when Shannon was pregnant two years ago, and am still working that off. ;) Have a great weekend!
