Month 1 of P90X almost done!

I've survived the 1st month of the vaunted P90X training program! Survived is the right word. Lol. The first week was tough with longer workouts than I was used to and different exercises than I was used to. Week 2 was easier as I knew what to expect and I even upped the intensity quite a bit. Week 3 saw me dragging myself some days with my energy and recuperation levels on low but I paced myself throughout the day and was able to up the intensity still in week 3. I'm now in week 4 which is a Recovery phase week. Lots of stretching and Yoga X with some Kenpo X and intense core synergistics thrown in there on 3 of the days to keep the muscles working.

With my recovery phase almost done, I move back to the Adaptive and Mastery phase on Thursday! Back to the intensity! As per the muscle confusion aspect that is at the core of the P90X foundation, this time there will be new exercises to help me bring it! I'll also be back to the Plyo and continue with the Kenpo X and Yoga X days.

I did not tighten up my diet so I could see what my energy needs for the workouts would be so I did not see great changes on the scale BUT I never go by the scale anyway. As I always preach, the scale only tells a small part of the story when it comes to working out. As you build muscle and lose fat, the scale will not tend to move much but you will see changes with your body. With that said, I have definitely seen my clothes getting looser, my bodyfat percentage go down and my muscles getting bigger and tighter. My cardio and muscle endurance has improved dramatically and that in itself is a great reward from the P90X program.

All in all, I highly recommend P90X for all the reasons I just mentioned above.
