As my 9 year old son just said, "That guy is a little crazy.". 44 minutes of all abs?? WTF??
I kept up with all of Tony's reps. 20 different moves, 20-30 reps (or 100 reps of bicycle at the end!!!!) The first time I did this routine I couldn't laugh for about a week without bending over in pain. Hopefully my core is stronger now. That was painful.
And my son just keeps repeating, "The Abrinominator". See, these workouts are entertaining for kids too!

Day 5 - P90X One on One Base & Back Review
Day 5 of P90X One on One brought Back and Base, which is the new version of Legs and Back. WOW. This one is a killer, even though I did it using bands for the pull-ups since I don't have my pull-up bar back yet. Alternating pull-ups with leg exercises. 10 exercises total, which you repeat. The pull-ups are a little more advanced than the old Legs and Back, and a few of them he asks for "no kipping" which doesn't really apply to me since I was using bands (and even when I use my pull-up bar I have to kip like hell or use a chair =) The leg exercises are what kills you. 30 reps EACH of ALL plyo moves, including Plyo Frog Squats, Chair Jump Squats, Plyo Runners Lunge, Spinning Fighter Squats, and Jack-in-the-Box Knee Tucks. So in between your pull-ups, you are totally out of breath from doing the leg exercises. Even Tony says it's the hardest routine he has EVER done. It's only about 53 minutes, but you work hard. Loved it!

"Body by Bethenny" Yoga Review
Day 4 of P90X. Instead of doing Tony's yoga, I decided to try Bethenny's yoga which was on OnDemand. It was about 45 minutes. I really liked it. I'm pretty experienced with yoga and I found that it was pretty challenging, wasn't slow moving like alot of yoga DVDs, and even offered some advanced moves like shoulder stand and wheel. And personally, I love Bethenny's goofy personality (she renames one pose "Boobs to Knees") Highly recommended!

Started ROUND 3 of P90X! First 3 Days Review
After MONTHS of working out with ChaLEAN Johnson (ChaLEAN Extreme and TurboFire) - I missed Tony. And since I have all but ONE of the new P90X One on One Volume 3 DVD's (which are Tony's "practice" for P90X2 workouts) - I decided to follow the P90X Classic schedule using the One on One workouts.
Day 1 was Chest, Back and Balls (he he) which has apparently been renamed Chest, Back and BALANCE for P90X2 (I guess "Balls" was a little too risque!) LOTS of pull-ups, which I had to do using bands and the door attachment because I let a friend borrow my pullup bar. And for me, those are never as hard as doing actual pullups, even if I have to use a chair. The push-ups are pretty much impossible using a variety of balls (including doing push-ups with your hands AND feet on basketballs...WTF????) Needless to say, I modified alot of the moves. After that I did good old ARX, which I pretty much know by heart.
Day 2 was PLYOCIDE. Honestly, I never really did Plyo X because my first round I did the Lean schedule, and Plyo is not included in that schedule. My next round I did Classic but substituted Insanity for all the cardio workouts. SO, I can't really compare the two. But it's a tough workout and feels like a very intense leg workout. The last time I did it I could barely walk for DAYS, so I hope a longer stretch and a full dose of Results and Recovery formula will help ward that off this time.
Today was Shoulders and Arms. It's a great workout. Three sets of heavy shoulders, followed by three sets of lighter shoulder work. Then three set of heavy biceps and triceps, followed by lighter bicep and tricep exercises. I'm going to do a different ab routine, probably one from DirectTV, just because I like to mix it up.
Tomorrow is yoga. I'm probably going to do a yoga routine from DirectTV as well because I'm not a fan of the lack of instruction on the One on One Yoga DVD. Tony says he's not going to talk much because it's "his" workout. What's up with that Tony?? I can't do yoga if I have to keep looking up at the TV. Duh!
Anyway, my whole body hurts. That's why I love P90X!!

Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse
I am starting a 3 week Eat Clean Challenge on Facebook on Monday and I'm thinking a Shakeology cleanse would be PERFECT to do before we start. I want to be super fit for summer and I thought this would be a great way to kick it off!
So, how do you do this 3 day cleanse? Here are the details!
1 cup of green tea to start your day
Breakfast: 1 scoop Shakeology, 1/2 cup fruit, ice, and 8-10 oz water - 200-250 calories
Snack: 1 piece of fruit - 80-100 calories
Lunch: 1 scoop Shakeology, ice, and 8-10 oz water - 140 calories
1 cup of green tea or other detox tea
Snack (either before or after dinner): 1 scoop shakeology, ice, 8-10 oz water - 140 calories
Dinner: Salad with 4 oz grilled white fish, poultry, or beans if you are vegetarian. 2 tablespoons of low fat dressing - 350 calories
About 800-1100 calories per day.
Lots of water during this cleanse also!
What is Shakeology you ask? It is a meal replacement with 70 + healthy ingredients. That is what makes this cleanse doable. You will not be starving because you will be getting optimum nutrition while your calories are lowered. If you would like to give the cleanse a try you can order your shakeology here: ORDER SHAKEOLOGY HERE
