P90X 1 on 1 V-Sculpt Review.
This is an AWESOME Workout! Concentration Curls out the ears and get ready for Pull-Up City! I really like the use of the resistance bands on this one. What I am not too sure about is the strap that you put in the door. It works great, but I wonder how long it will last being shut in the door like that and then being pulled on. This workout is a great change of pace for the Back & Bicep workout. (At least until the P90X:MC2 comes out.) I should have done this one on Wednesday but I can do Shoulder, Bi, Tri on Wed. and next week I might do it again on Wed. but try to get some pics in for you. The pull-ups are TOUGH! I'm not good at them anyway and I used the bands tonight, but I felt as though I was missing out on some of the exercise. Hey now, don't get me wrong there either. If you use the resistance bands right you can still get a great workout. V-Sculpt was a little more like the P90X workouts where you run through sets of workouts and then repeat. So there are 12 moves in all. 6 Back and 6 Bicep. Remember the strip set curls? They are back, but different. Down the rack curls! I have been through with the workout for about an hour now and I can feel it in my biceps & forearms. My back is feeling pretty good. Small burn still in my shoulders. I did throw in Ab Ripper X after the fact though to stay on track with my program. Tomorrow is back to cardio; Should be Plyometrics, but I think I will do Plyocide and Insanity's Fast and Furious! If you have any questions about P90X, P90X 1 on1 V-sculpt feel free to leave a comment or email me. And don't forget, more on P90X 1on1 V-Sculpt next week!.

Week 7 Days 2&3 P90X
What's up everybody? I have to say this up front. I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!! P90X is for real! Tuesday night I did Plyometrics, WITHOUT STOPPING!! I am totally psyched! If you have not done Plyo X, you would not understand. Here's a small example: 7 different types of squats, 6 jumps, and some high step moves with some sports bonuses and more. Oh and most of those you do 2 sets. If you are not tired and your legs burn like hell then you need to squat lower and jump higher. It definitely is getting me lighter on my feet.
Wednesday - Day 45 - the halfway point!! Back and Biceps! I freaking rocked this one last night! I increased the weights in about 80% of my lifts and increased the # of pull ups in every set. 85 pull ups in all, but had to use chair:( still getting better:) I can see a big difference in my arms! Now for Ab RipperX! I made it through this one - 349 core moves. I had to modify a couple but made it through without pausing!
Today we got our Showcase kit in, It had Power90, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, P90x, Yoga Booty Ballet, resistance bands, weighted gloves (which do not fit me) little ball, Nutrition guides and recipe books and got our new bag of shakeology. I am now ready to start my workout group. I am going to work my butt off this weekend trying to find a location to do it. First session is next Thursday at my house. I can't wait! Next purchases are going to be more resistance bands so I can use them in group sessions and shakeology samples. I would also like to get the P90X whey protein shake and also recovery formula. Guys and girls, if you live in the Fort Worth / Mis Cities / Arlington area please come workout with me. It's free as of now. If I have to rent a place I might have other coaches pitch in for rent. Yes, other Beachbody Coaches are more than welcome to join in! We are a Team trying to make the world healthy! Contact me and let me know! Keep Pressing play People and Bring It when you do!!!!

Week 6 Recap
WOW!!! Super busy week! Her guys & girls, how did your week go? Last workout blog was on Plyometrics so I have 4 more to go over for week 6.
Wednesday - Back & Biceps - As I said earlier the Plyo was the leg killer, well this is the one for arms. This workout consists of various curls & push-ups, and if you do it correctly and push yourself, you will come out with arms that flop like jellyfish! lol I mean I don't want to type at all after this one. This is the workout that starts out with slow 3 step curls - wide, normal & military going on Tony's count to 4 cadence. Oh and when you think you are done he'll throw in some bonus pushups. Next is curl city. Slow curls, half curls, Lawnmower pulls, more different style of push-ups. And that last set of curls is the killer set. 1 set of curls 8-10 / 10-15 depends on what you are going for muscle or lean. I went 8 reps with the mmost you can do without losing form. Then 8 more dropping 5 lbs. then 8 more -5lbs. and a last set -5 lbs. Then you have Abripper X after that! Muah ha ha Muah ahahah!
Next day would have been Yoga X, but I was totally busy doing some coaching duties & Research. I'll post about that later. So Friday is Yoga X day. Yoga X is still hard for me. I am getting more flexible and starting to learn the different positions so I'm not twisting my neck trying to see the TV while I am already twisted like a pretzel. Good stretches in it. I actually turn off the fan in the room and build up a REAL GOOD SWEAT! The Balance moves are probably the toughest for me. Getting better still. How do you say it, Namestae?
Saturday ends up being Legs & Back. This week I have been having some back issues. I had to stop in the middle of Back & bicep and have Lynette massage some spots in my lower back. afterwards I finished fine. Same with this days excersise. Made it halfway and had to stop to get a rub down again. The excersise itself is based on pull-ups and lunges for the most part. Pull-ups again one of my most hated things has many different types. Wide grip, close grip, swtich grip, etc..... After the workout, once again Ab Ripper X. I made it halfway through this and did something to one of my stomache muscles right below my rib cage. I think I did it doing the scissors. Whenever I tried doing the Roll up V-ups I could not do the V-ups at all. Unfortunately called it a day. :(
Since I am a day behind I had my FAVORITE workout doing some Kenpo X tonight, My kicks are getting better, Arms are not killing me after the punches and I totally have energy through the whole workout. I don't sit down during the breaks anymore and actually do the X jumps now!!
These last 2 weeks have just flown by. Can't wait until 60 day measurements & pictures to compare.
