Workout #1

Today I went to the gym on my lunch break. I did interval training… 3 minute warm up, 6 intervals of running on the treadmill from 7.0mph to 8.5mph with rest periods at 5mph.

Workout #2

When I came home I did a quick biceps workout. I stayed pretty light because of my hand injury and I did 9 sets of standing curls and alternate hammer curls.

I haven’t had a lot of time to write, so I’ll have to catch up here.

P90X system

Today I made it interesting by trying P90X out. A friend lent his DVD’s to me. Honestly, I wasn’t going to buy the P90X system because I didn’t think that it was intense enough. It looked like a lot of hype and I felt like my workouts were just as intense as the P90X workouts, if not more intense.

Well, I was dead wrong. The P90X program was well put together, focuses on warming up to avoid injury, and is as hard core as you want it to be. If you want more difficulty, you add weight or add reps! I was impressed.

But this isn’t a P90X blog. I’m going to take what works from that system to develop my own program. I’m going to make it my own the same way that I am going to borrow from aerobics, MMA, and football workout routines.

So far so good. I’ve got some momentum and I’m following my plan, so I feel like nothing can keep me from achieving my goals!
