The Power of Changing your life. P90X

August started a month of change and dedication in my life. My wife just cut her hair which was a huge decision ( 7 years!) which meant if she was going to make changes I wanted to be right there with her. Thank you Coach.

I accomplished my 1st real dedicated workout which was Chest & Back from P90X followed by Ab Ripper X.

Here are my numbers

Standard push-up 25/25
Wide font pull ups 13/10
Military Push-ups 30/14
Reverse Grip Chin ups 9/6
Wide Fly Push-ups 20/20
Closed Grip Chin-ups 7/6
Decline Push-ups 10/13
Heavy Pants 10/10 x50 lbs.
Diamond Push- ups 18/14
Lawnmowers 10/10 x 50lbs.
Dive Bomber Push-ups 5/10
Back Flys 10/10 x 15lbs.

Improvements:
I needed heavier weight for the Back Fly movement.
I could have done more push-ups the 1st round, next week I will.
I did not push the entire time set ( My coach gladly pointed that out after the 2nd exercise.) and because of that push I did push through the rest for the entire time or until I couldn’t do them with proper form.

My 30 day goal: To do 20 pullups non-stop with proper form. Finish Phase I
My 60 day goal: To do 30 pullups non-stop with proper form. Finish Phase II
My 90 day goal: To do 60 pullups non-stop with proper form and Finish Phase III of P90X

Ab Ripper X: I did all of my reps but I need to improve on my flexibility (Fifer scissors!)
I woke up not really wanting to workout and the moment I pushed play and started to hear Tony speak it all went away. I grabbed my tracker sheet and water and started working out. It’s easy to do but my problem was that it was easy not to do. That’s my problem..I am lazy and I make excuses for everything...WOW! it feels so good to admit that! Today I didn’t make an excuse! I won! So, when someone asks me if I did P90X today I can say

“Yes, I did!”

August is a month of change and I am going to make it happen for me and for my family. - Michael
