Week 1 Review P90x3 Woman's Perspective

Pleasantly surprised by how much I am loving P90x3!! I completed my first week of the program and every day I was challenged. No days did I hate the workout, no days was I left feeling like I didn't get a good workout, no days did I regret my purchase. I say that is a big WIN!! These are some of the top fears I hear from people as to why they don't want to start something new!! Well guess what you never know until you try right?

Here is a sneak peak into my 1 week of P90x3:

My Meal Plan

Accelerator

The Warrior

Thumbs up Push Ups - Oh my!!
and then Tony tells you "More Please"
Warrior Squat lunge - tripped over my feet a few times
and just when you though you had burpees down, Tony introduces SUPER burpees!!
Yes, that's right they get a bit of a lift!!
Abrinome was one of my favorites - felt awesome!!

x3 Yoga
So many moves I loved in this workout. The one I was trying so hard to improve upon was Crow and I was very proud to say I was able to hold this position for a few seconds longer than the first time I tried it!! I really love Plow too, it makes my back feel great! After all the hard work you put into a program I feel x3 Yoga is a nice reward and make for a very well-rounded program.

CVX
Perfect mix of cardio and strength training and guess what it is all mixed into one in this workout. I liked this workout too because I am not much of a cardio fan but adding in the weights how Tony did it, made it much more likeable.

(didn't take pictures on this day!)

Isometrix
WOW - I would never have chose a workout like this before but now I know I love this kind of workout. It takes challenge to a whole new level. Holding some of the poses for 45 seconds was very hard. What I loved about it was it was a whole new way to challenge your body. One in which I haven't experienced ever before. I have a feeling this will be a favorite of mine

Agility X

You need tape for this one and tape I did not have but I improvised and made do with some paper. This workout kept you moving the whole time and that 30 minutes flew by!! Now plyo push ups...that is definitely something I have to work on.

Looking forward to Week 2 - same workout schedule a few changes in the meal plan and best of all a positive attitude to get me through it all!!

Now is the time to learn how to

Live a Fit, Happy, and Healthy life

and WE will do it

TOGETHER!!!!

P90x3 Schedule and Meal Plan WEEK 1

Entering my first official week of P90x3!!

Today was Accelerator and oh my now I know why Tony gave it that name.

Yes that's me with my first attempt at Donkey Kicks!!
I had no idea what to expect but had fun trying!!

I also dabbled in a few of the P90x3 workouts since it arrived at my house (I had it sitting here staring me in the face saying - TRY ME!!) I tried Agility X, Total Synergistic, Triometrics, x3 Yoga and loved them all. They are challenging, fast paced so you never get bored, and hello 30 minutes is AWESOME!! There were a few moves I stumbled over and a few moves I needed the modifier but all in all I am excited for this 90 day journey.

Loved this move

Wowsers!

ha my face says it all!!

Along with a killer workout program that was designed by Tony Horton the program also provides you with guidelines on how to eat properly. Nutrition is 80% of your results so you better be eating right or all your hard work may be wasted.

As you all know I follow the clean eating principles and I plan on sticking to that. BUT I also did incorporate the nutrition guidelines from the P90x3 Nutrition Manual.

Here's how x3 gets you set up so you know what you should be eating & when.

First Take the QUIZ

Then Based on your TOTAL from the quiz you are put into 1 of 5 different plans. I feel into Plan B.

The nutrition guides also provides an extensive list of foods that are considered Carbohydrates, Proteins, and FATs. I used this list to help me build my meal plan for the week.

Here it is!!

What also makes doing this program even more fun is that I have my very own P90x3 Test group doing it with me. The group follows my same health and fitness group set up but this time it has some P90x3 flare!!

my day 1 sweaty pic I posted in
our closed facebook group

Today we all posted our Day 1 Workout Sweaty pics!! The groups are a great way especially when starting a new program to have a place to check into daily, ask questions, find support, and best of all make some amazing friends. I know we will all be helping one another on the good and bad days. Life happens but when you are a part of a health and fitness group of mine it makes it that much easier to overcome the obstacles that are thrown our way.

Here's to a New Beginning - Bring it on P90x3!!
