Ok today was the day! I started P90x and I gotta tell you it was pretty awesome!
What a pump. Now if you remember I just finished the Insanity Workout which you can read more about here http://www.gettingstrongnow.com/insanity-workout-review/ So I finished up on May 23 and it is now June 7th. I took about a good solid week off of doing no workouts. I didn’t want to, but I had to do some big jobs around the house and there was just no time for working out. The other few days I busted out a day at the gym “which I quit my membership btw” and a few insanity workouts here and there. Last friday I did the Ab Ripper x and some weights in my garage. Holy cow ab ribber x killed me. To be honest I was still sore today lol. Friday night around 8pm I could not believe how my mid section was feeling.

Anyways… today was day 1 and it was chest and back. I gotta say that I did miss my Insanity warm up and the sweat that it brings on. The p90x warm up is nothing compared to insanity. I am thinking I might do the Insanity warm up then jump into the P90x moves, but I am gonna see how the first week goes.

I hope you are ready for push ups galore!! It is nuts and the pull ups too. I still don’t have a pull up bar set up in my garage, I gotta figure that out so I had to use the bands which still gave me a nice pump. To be honest I have always sucked at pull ups, so I may just stick with the bands for a few weeks and see.

I have to say that doing the Insanity workout before this def had me in better shape. I was hurting for sure, but I could see how I was much stronger in the push up moves then I would have been. If I came into P90x with nothing before this I would have been dead today. That’s not to say P90x didn’t kick my butt lol. I could barely lift my arms in the shower to wash! Ha! Now thats a workout.

I did miss the pump from the gym with Insanity so it was nice to do this moves in P90x. I am very excited to see what else it has in store for me. I also have to say that I do miss the cardio/sweating my you know what off from Insanity. I guess there is a fine balance. Maybe I will switch things up as I go along, but for now I am sticking to the P90x routine and see how it goes.

Tony Horton is a trip too. I remember his korny jokes from power 90 about 7 years ago and he hasn’t changed a bit. Gotta love it.

Until tomorrow… Dig Deep!! Oh wait… thats shaun t!! Doh! Whats Tony’s tag line… Ill have to listen closer i guess.
