Week 2 Review and Week 3 Planning P90x3 Women's Perspective

Wow, is all I can say when it comes to P90x3. I am blown away by how fast these workouts fly by.  Yes, I know they are 30 minutes in length but seriously they seem a lot shorter than that!! I love the flow of the workouts because you NEVER get bored and you are constantly
moving onto the next exercise. I also love that each day it is something different - the variety of this program is my favorite part of this program.  YES don't get me wrong I want to see results just like any other person but my biggest problem with workouts is I get BORED very easily. 2 weeks in and 2 weeks going strong!!

Here is how I planned for my Week 2 last week. Remember for your body to function properly you need to fuel it properly and that is what my plan includes!! Each and every week I always try my best to make sure I am getting the proper nutrients from as much whole foods as possible.  These past two weeks I introduced to my diet the P90x Protein Bars. I tried all four flavors and my favorite by far is the Chocolate Peanut Butter, my daughter's is the Chocolate Fudge, and my son's is the Wildberry yogurt.  I didn't share the Cafe' Mocha with my kids and I did not particularly care for it.  I will for sure be getting  more of these in the future! 



This week was a review of the workouts from Week 1 so there was nothing new there.  I did find it much more challenging this week.  So, no pictures from the week because I had to give even more focus to my workouts to get through them.  

At the time I didn't know if I was tired, sore from the previous week, not eating enough, drinking enough, or something else. Although I had followed my meal plan and my days were normal I just was not performing as I had hoped.  Later in the week I found out why I was not responding well and that is I came down with some sort of illness and it must have been working on me during the week.  I didn't realize it at the time and I am not a doctor but it all made sense when I was down for the count later Friday night.  


That was then and this is now,  a new week and another day and time to get it right and get back on track.  Today I feel a bit weak yet but I plan on combating that with giving the P90x3 Pilates a try.  Pilates was always my favorite workout in the past so I thought why not go to ole faithful. 




and now preparation for Week 3 Begins and I am VERY EXCITED because I am looking forward to my energy returning but I am also looking forward to progressing in my x3 journey!!

Here's my plan for the week!! Nothing new in the workouts department although I plan on giving the Dynamix workout a go on my REST day.  I have found especially with this program the stretching workouts are essential.  My muscles feel a thousand times better after stretching and from what I hear that is what Dynamix is all about. Sooo, be sure to check back at the end of the week for my Week 3 Review!  Until then...


But don't take my word for it, you too can have the P90x3 experience!!

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!!
