A couple of days ago Peter brought something home that made me very nervous. The idea of the whole thing makes me want to dig a hole and hide. Or enter into a witness protection program so he can't find me :-)....I bet I got you all curious as to what it is....well I'm gonna tell you and it's VERY SCARY!!!
It's the P90X workout system. There is a reason they make these boxes black ,it's because they are SCARY!!!
All joking aside I spend the majority of today reading reviews, looking at before and after pictures and watching some of the actual DVD's. The first DVD made me very very tierd and I was just watching it.
The workouts include the following:
Day 1 - Chest & Back
Day 2 - Plyometrics
Day 3 - Core Synergistics
Day 4 - Yoga
Day 5 - Kempo
Day 6 - Shoulders & Arms
Day 7 - Legs and Back
Day 8 - Stretch
Day 9 - Chest, Shoulders & Triceps
Day 10 - Back & Biceps
Day 11 - Cardio
Day 12 - Ab Ripper
You are suppose to do one dvd a day for 90 days with one day rest a week. Each workout DVD is an hour long.
I was contemplating doing the shred again, but I think given the fact that I am so desperate to tone my body I know this program will be perfect for me. I was looking for something new and exciting and I think this is it!
Peter & I will be doing these workouts together and I think he will be of great benefit for me to keep me challenged and to complete the whole 90 days that this program is designed for and as and added bonus I'm gonna have a ripped husband :-).
The reviews I have read are these workouts are very challenging, and most likely the first go round (the first 12 days), will be pure HELL but it does get easier as you get better.
I am very excited to see the results and very pumped to get started. Tomorrow is Day 1!!!
I am still continuing on with my training for my half marathon as well as the biggest loser group twice a week. Remember when I said that I need to "kick it up a notch" well I was serious! The reset button has been hit, all the occasions have been completed and I am ready to transform my body into exactly what I am after, I am willing to put the blood, sweat and tears into going after my goals. It will be a tough growling journey this I am positive of, but I am gonna do it.
Over the last few months I have been working out, but as I went back to some of my older posts and when I was doing the best, I was working out 6 days a week, tracking my food and weighing in and being accountable. It's time for the old Syl to come out of the wood work and make things happen. I'm sooooo excited ..and scared :-)

I am horrified.
Husband...
You can both do it! I've heard awesome things about the system. I wish you the best of luck. I finished day 2 of my 30 day shred challenge, and it's all I can take to type right now. HA!
I can't wait to see the transformations!
Wow.. I have heard only good things about P90X.
I am sure you will rock them!!!
Birthday parties are exhausting. I was happy to have Ryan's done as well.
Hope they had lots of fun!
You are such an inspiration and motivator to me regarding exercise. Keep going! And tell us all about it!
I personally didn't like P90X but my husband loved it. The workouts to me were waaay too long, a tad boring, and really difficult. It was really discouraging when I couldn't even do some of the exercises...
Ahh I hate to be negative... My husband loved it! He's a Marine and works out regularly so it worked good for him. He can do pullups and pushups easily.
I'll be interested to see what you think!
Ah I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the workout. I was interested in it as well but the price is still a little scary to me and not knowing if i could stick with it.
I sure have heard a lot about the P90X these days. I am doing the Shred right now and love it because it is only about 25 minutes. I have a toddler and work, I gotta squeeze in workouts where I can! Can't wait to see your progress with your new workout though!!
I was talking to my husband's best friend about P90X one night. He's super generous (he's also both of my daughter's God Father)and he called me about 3 days later to tell me he bought it for me. This is the same guy who hid $100 in a bowl on my microwave one night when he was over. Anyway, I haven't seen him since and I can say I'm super scared too. If I don't do it'll be wasting his money. And he'll want to know how it's going and I can't lie and pretend I'm doing it. ;) Can't wait to see what you think about it so I know how soon it'll kill me once he shows up with it.
I want to give p90x a shot...but I think I am going to have to be in pretty good shape first. Give me six months.
Good luck.
You're tired just watching the video and I'm tired just reading this post! LOL! That's a lotta exercise. You're going to be sooooo fit!
We have the P90X system too! I am so scared.....it is still in the box! I guess it is time to break it out and get started! Face my fears head on.......yikes!
I've heard really good things about PX90. I want to do it also, but after I lose 30 more lbs. Maybe I should stop making excuses, just go and get it, and do it with you!
OMG you are going to get your butt kicked... but in such a good way. I would love to do that program but know I am not ready for it yet. I've been doing other Beachbody programs but when I'm ready, I'm doing the P90x. Really looking forward to your reviews on your workouts.. :)
Good luck! Enjoy it!
Good luck - I've heard such good (ok, well, depending on the way you look at things!) things about P90x...can't wait to hear about your reviews!
Wow!! That is awesome, Syl!! I want to try P90X SO BADLY :)
OMG OMG OMG - I am half jealous, half scared FOR YOU!
How exciting...can't wait to hear about it! I've heard it's hard, BUT SO worth it!!
check out my post for an award for you!

I'm so impressed! I've heard about P90X and looked up some information about it and it's though for as far as I can see. Not sure if I could do it.
But I know you can! And it's great Peter is doing it with you, makes it easier to not skip training.
Good luck and keep us informed about your experiences with the program.

I have the program. It is really tough but stil doable. I was thinking of doing a round this year, but I have to work up the courage to try it again. It is great , but not for the faint of heart !
With Hubby doing this program with you - you going to enjoy it I know.
Its your thing together and you going to have a lovely toned body for summer...something exciting to look forward to.
The results you are supposed to get are amazing, but you will def work for it.
Oooo, I can't wait to hear about this new DVD system!
Oh, I'm soooo jealous again! LOL
This is on my long list of work out wants. A garmin, Wii, a new weight bench, new asics.... oh my list of wants is long.
I think this would be a great fitness tool. Have fun with it.
Don't forget to do before and after shots.
I hear that this system is super good!
I really want to try it :)
You can do it Syl!!!
xoxoxoxoox
I have seen reviews for this program and a lot of people are die-hard for it.
Please let us know how it goes. I'm sure you will love it. (Maybe you won't love them, but you will love how you feel and look after you are done!)
I must admit the title "Ab Ripper" scares me!!!!!
All the best,
Julia

Oh my...I am excited for you and scared at the same time! Good for you for pushing yourself! Just remember how you felt when you first Shredded or ran....and now look at you! You can do it!!!
I can't wait to hear about it, just be CAREFUL you're not overtraining and injure yourself. P90X is pretty hardcore by itself and you're adding half training and other stuff on top of it... I'm not saying you can't do it (you can do ANYTHING girl) but just be careful! :)
Now, if your half is many, many months away and you're just doing a few light and quick runs to keep your legs loose, that's a different story. You'll be WAY stronger when you get back to it. I got about 1 minute faster on my running paces across the board after shredding for a month.
Good luck! :)
One of my daycare families did it..the skinny mom lost 4 inches in her waist...she looks like a 12 year old now..LOL watch out, she was definately hurtin some days
My husband said this is killer, but works great! I'm excited to see how you do and what results you see.
Go you!!
