Day 10 - P90X Shoulder & Arms

March 24th - DAY 10 - Shoulder and Arms

I really feel I gained some strength back in my arms and especially shoulders.

I could lift dumbbells instead of using the bans in many of the exercises CRAZY.

Feeling great - don't expect to be sore (I hope not)

BTW something I wanted to mention - this is the first time - when I was doing the ab ripper x - DUDE MY ABS ACTUALLY FELT A CRAMP and i had to stop WHAT never had ab CRAMPS - CRAZY

Waited a while and then finished the workout

no chicken here all beef baby haha :P

Here are my stats from day 10 - Shoulder and Arms

Day - 9 P90X

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS X BABY

As tony says "If you can do this, you can kick the panties of anyone out there" haha :P

oh BTW - the foot felt ok today I guess getting used to it.

If you are way out of shape and doing this forget about it. Do the CARDIO X instead. If you wish to keep up with plyometrics keep that bucket close to you

Enough said days is "x" ed

Fitness Tip - Size vs Tone

SIZE VS TONE

Lot of people out there don't workout because they don't want to gain muscle.

They are wrong don't listen to them!

Lot of people out there think that they can just run the treadmill and lose weight.

They are semi wrong listen to them and read this!

Running - will get you fit but not enough (running will get you a great cardio-vascular health but you still wont be considered fit)

SO YOU NEED SOME KIND OF RESISTANCE WEIGHT BEARING WORKOUT!

Remember - Having muscle = body needs more to function - so more calories it will burn on day to day basis; even if you just sit on your BUTT!!
Every wonder how guys and gals who are fit seem to always keep that "pudge" OF!

Well because frankly they do some kinda resistance workout with their cardio. - OK!

So people who are afraid of lifting weights start lifting them you will see that fat melt of quicker - also - people who do not want to gain muscle mass DO MORE REPS AKA - TONE your muscle

REMEMBER
8 to 10 reps(heavy weight) if you want to gain muscle - SIZE
12 to 16 reps (light to medium weight) if you want to tone your muscle - TONE

Running the treadmill with some resistant work out will help you get your result faster.(also a good diet - will be covered next week in fitness tips so keep up.)

Some benefits of resistance training = Stronger BONES
You know you will need these when you get old - (do you want that slouchy back and lose height when you are older?)

So if you haven't already start working out
(A routine that consists of Resistance training and Cardio-vascular training)

According to the American Council on Sports Medicine
MEN TEND TO GET A HEART DISEASE AT A YOUNGER AGE THAN WOMEN!

Before starting a fitness regiment consult your physician

*Any asymptomatic, apparently healthy man under 40/ and female under 50 with under 2 risk factors for cardiac/ coronary disease can safely start a moderate to vigorous exercise program without seeing a physician*

Week 2 -Day - 8

WEEK 2

Monday - DAY-8 (March 22nd)

WOOHOO - I have started to love Monday's because of "CHEST AND BACK" Love this workout.
Upper body workouts is my thing - sad in a way cause it used to be all lower body workouts before.

Second time doing this workout week 2 - Just a little sore was not bad at all.

Here are my stats from Week 2 of CHEST AND BACK

Day 5-7 - Bad News

Hi everyone

Hope you guys are doing well and keeping up!

OK - Bad news - I missed my day-5 (March 19th) day-6 (March 20th) and day-7 (March 21st). Well day-7 does not count its the stretch day. I have no excuses but I dint have the time, the soreness was killing me and it was a weekend and I HATE LEG and BACK WORKOUTS THAT ARE DONE IN P90X.

I can keep going :P

I started the Leg and back work out BUT the list of workout is so long OMG! Just looking at it made my legs weak. Did about 2 exercises and I didn't feel like it, maybe it was my diet, I don't know but it was something that just dint click.

Also Kempo X - well day the flew by and no comment.



Stretch X is an optional workout - I will be TAKING THIS DAY OFF every week




Well the past is history now.

P.S-- I will be updating this blog once every week that is - every Wednesday so don't think I "chickened" out :P

Day 4 - P90X

Day 4 18th March

YOGA!!!!

Oh man love this work out (it was too long though so I think I'd rather do the one on one with Tony Horton yoga workout, its only 45 mins) I definitely don't have time for 1:30 mins of yoga no way.

It felt great lots of stretching helped with the soreness.

Yoga is a must exercise and a lot of people don't incorporate this in their workouts. Yoga not only helps with building strength and flexibility it also helps improves balance and reduces work out related injuries.

If you don't already try to add yoga into you workout schedule.

Keep pressing play!!

Fitness Tip: Late Night Eating = Weight Gain

At night we are typically less active - So if you eat late at night (which is usually junk food) it leads to weight gain - which eventually gets worse and worse

SO how do we combat this problem of feeling hungry late at night?

1. Spread you eating through out the day - 5- 6 small meals

2. Don't drink alcohol not only does it packs its own calories but also because it tends to increase appetite and usually bad food choice

3 If you have no choice and have to eat late night dinners well then try to make lunch the main meal and dinner a light meal.

4. Eat slowly enjoy your meals (esp that lunch if you have a light dinner)

But what about the late night munchies after dinner?

If you really listen to your body it might not be hungry (after all you had your dinner already)- usually your body is thirsty - fill up a glass of water and enjoy it instead of eating late night junk.

Learn to listen to your body!!!
If you treat it right it will treat you right and take you on a longer and joyful life journey.
