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!!

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!!
