I have previewed 14 Discs. Plus 2 more the one-on-one with Tony Horton new 4 Legs and Upper Body Balance = 16 total new workouts.

Some moves like Frog and others are in this program but some like the "Draya roll" gets a medicine ball added to it or something to make it more difficult.

1. Warm ups are the same in each (is this a copy cat of 90 Supreme?)
2. Lots of balance and Yoga style moves
3. Each warm up is about 8 minutes cool down 6 minutes = 14 out of 60 minute workout (each workout is 1hr so far)

(Uses roller) Warm up moves:
Worlds greatest stretch
Inch worm - walk down pushup with out the pushup
Scorpion - laying on stomach with one leg reaching out to the side bent up scorpion style (Yogis like Yoga down dog with a dropped over leg)
Groiners - open hip move like windshield wipers in Yoga, or dropping in one knee then the other

Tough moves are:

Single leg walk out to sphinx
Ball moves using 2 or 4 med balls to balance on
3 Ball extravaganza

First 5 Workouts:

1. Core X2 - Lots of walk downs and stretches, planks and again Yoga core moves and using stability ball

2. Plyocide - Jumps but not as many as I thought (see 2 x Balance +Power)

3. X2 Recovery and Mobility (use the foam roller here) with stretch Yoga style moves

P90X vs P90X2

P90X Round 3 Chest and Back

I am back to Tony on Phase 3 of Round 3 Lean.

This is one of my favorite in the series Chest and Back, it makes you feel very powerful just like shoulders and arms. I would rather like most work upper body then lower, not for glamour but because of my knees. Hence little bootay :-)

My total pushup count was 105, no modified, with outstanding form - Go T!

One the diamond pushups, I don't go low enough to touch my nose to my hands but I do go as low as I can. Yoga may be helping me with this we do an advanced move with a "hover" core move that is all push up related.

My favorite warm up = Pot stirs very good shoulder rotation

My favorite line by Tony = "You can surpass your goal"

2 favorite moves = Reverse chin ups and Wide fly pushups

After workout smoothie:
"Nanner coffee"
1 banana
1 c cold coffee
2 scoops whey vanilla ice cream protein
1 splash of skim milk

P90X Round 3 Lean Phase 3 Day 1

Chest and Back
Mood - Love it
Wt - 123
Time of workout = 40 mins
Cals burned = 120

Pushups 30
Wide pullups 15
Military pushups 20
Reverse grip chin ups 15 [favorite]
Wide fly pushups 20 [favorite]
Close grip over hand pull up 13
Decline pushups 10
Heavy pants 15lb db 12
Diamond pushus 15 - with fingers & thumbs touching

I worked on my Zumba studies last night, and will do more practice this weekend on putting my moves all together. Maybe a short video?

P90X Round 3 Day 5 Cardio X

Doing a story on this, I love Marisa!

I'm on day 3 of my new meal plan, and so far hanging pretty tough.

However I had 2 mistakes last night. I had some low fat ice cream after dinner (that is out of the house now*sigh) and cereal dry for a snack around bedtime, when I should have had my whey casein instead. BAD T. NO carbs before bed!

Note to self: You are a work in progress do not beat yourself up, its a new day.

Yesterday I found my dream bedding and bought it!
Here it is....Surprise its GREEN!
www.target.com/Room-Essentials-Green-Quilt-Set/dp/B002KAL0SO/ref=br_1_22?ie=UTF8&node=2226597011&sessionID=188-8807025-0128369&searchSize=30&searchView=grid5&searchPage=1&sr=1-22&qid=1280253905&rh=&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchRank=pmrank&frombrowse=1


You all KNOW how obsessed I am with bedding, changes with the seasons so what can I say. The price was wonderful and it is so super duper soft with a nice weight for summer/fall. And the price, with shams could not be beat for the quality and its a modern style. The thread quilting is oval, not like old fashion style quilting so it looks very contemporary with my modern white night stands. Just the right POP of color.

Also I don't know if anyone is into family fun, but I found this site OF COURSE CREATED BY A WOMAN and as you know I am all about supporting women in biz so check this out its an amazing concept to draw family together.

P90X Round 3 Lean Day 4 Core Synergistics

Hello Tony Horton......I'm back! and fully committed for another round of extreme fitness with you .

I was going to start Insanity August first, but have decided not do to this program due to my knees. I have only did 1 full week of Insanity, and its a great program if you can do a lot of jumping.

Since my surgery I had to take almost 3-4 weeks off extreme workouts and packed back on my body fat that I lost *sigh and feel I lost strength. Yup, back on my meal plan (my meal plan is written by a nutritionist/trainer in NY) which also should show major improvements.

I was rowing 75lb easily and doing glute press of 55lb now I have scaled back to 55lb and 45lbs until I can build back up to do 8-10 reps. For my home workouts I will be using 15lb - 25lb dumbbells.

So the good news is......that my arm feels much better and I am able to do pullups and pushups again. I have not done any heavy lateral lifts and will continue light until I have progressed enough being mindful of that injury.

What is the program I am going to do?

P90X Round 3 Lean. (First round was P90X Lean, then P90X Classic now P90X Lean)

I started last week and here is how my workouts will be for the next phase.

Monday - Off day (yoga, stretch, hula hooping, walking)
Tuesday through Friday - P90X Round 3 Lean
Saturday at the gym
Sunday at the gym

I'm super happy about this plan, and ready for big changes since I have 2 weeks till my reunion.

YIKES send support daily to me PLEASE.......

P90X Day 1 Back and Biceps

Good news....I did P90X Back and Bicep workout, and all the pull ups without my arm hurting!

I really think all that time off healed that injury that kept nagging me. Don't get me wrong, I am very mindful right now of it and did not push myself as hard as I like, but I was sweating like a pig! (I am going to stick with P90X till the end of the month, then re-start Insanity.)

What is the toughest move on this workout for me is the towel pull ups! No doubt. I do all these pull ups with an assisted tool a ladder on a yoga mat. But the balance of having one arm higher then the other, and the instability of the towel movement makes this one crazy hard.

How to do this towel pull up move:
Place one towel (damp for grip) over the bar of the pull up AND place your hand gripping the bottom of the towel, and place your other hand regular on the pull up. Do 4 pull ups and switch the towel to the opposite hand.

Thanks Tony Horton!

Next to this pull up move I would add the Corn Cob pull up.

How to do the Corn Cob pull up:
Pull up to a full held up pull up position and hold, then lean your body to the right, back to center then to the left and then back to center then release the pull up back to the full hanging down position and repeat.

Since I do these assisted, the towel one is much harder for me but I may feel the other is if I were able to do it without it. Since your keeping your body in a flex hold for quite a few seconds its really isometrically a KILLER!

Last night I did not get in another workout. *sigh. But that walk at lunch yesterday has to count for something it was 98 degrees out right?

My girl friend came by to take me to dinner for my birthday, plus she got me a gift too.

I got 3 small Bath and Body items, I was thrilled plus dinner out....pleeeese (insert happy dance here) I got the new Lime Citrus lotion, nice and clean and then Japanese Blossom the body spray and lotion.

Tony Horton, Hello Plan B

Hello Tony, thanks for a great yoga session today!
I did not get in as much as I would have liked to but still, it was a great practice and really helped my back feel so much better. I finished this off with some head rolls.

With sleeping on the "wrong" side my neck has been killing me and again I am saving for a new matress.

Did anyone see the hula hoop girl on Americas got Talent?

She was just was amazing! I have to laugh at myself because I can only do about 2-3 minutes and I drop it a few times. A girl can dream right? I just goes to show you can do anything you set your mind to.

Last night I also caught the last part of Losing it with Jullian and cried like a baby. I just could not believe how big that 14 year old boy was.

What I liked about the show last night:
Her visit to the school
Her talk at the school class mates
How she made the mom recognize her accomplishments
How her talk with the mom and dad brought the family to be on the same page
That the son learned his dad was proud of him no matter what
That the bridge symbolized a new beginning

This again shows, YOU CAN do anything you set your mind to. So never ever give up, raise the bar and continue to grow. If you are NOT challenging yourself you will stay the same, who wants that?

Today I felt pretty good going into a new workout routine. Tomorrow I will play with the weights, yeah baby bring it on! I am not sure if I will do this at the gym or home.

Why?

Because I have to take medicine to sleep with this ringing and sometimes its hard to get up when I want to. So just 3 more weeks and that will be over with another....yeah!
