The Day 10 workout, Shoulders and Arms, is a straightforward series of shoulder, bicep and triceps exercises. I upped the weight for the arm exercises and things went pretty well. I got up today, Day 11, and just couldn’t face the scheduled Yoga X workout. I did X-Stretch instead. I know yoga is good for [...]

P90X Days 8 & 9
Day 8 saw the return of Chest and Back. I did 166 push-ups this time out compared to 167 on Day 1. I think the minor drop is due to the fact that I pushed myself during the first half and was tuckered out by the time I got to the “under the fence” push-ups. [...]

P90X Days 5 & 6
Day 5 was Legs and Back. There’s not much to tell here, the name pretty much says it all. My knee felt better than it did on plyo day, so the lunges and squats weren’t too difficult. I kept track of the pull-ups during this workout and my total was 71. Not a spectacular accomplishment, [...]

You have it within your self to achieve anything you want if you make the decision to chase your dreams. Believe in yourself. For [...]

90 Day Challenge: Day 7
Yesterday was shoulder day, a workout that was made even more special by the fact that my gym decided to turn off the air during a heatwave. Way to keep things totally awesome NYSC! (since tone is sometimes hard to deterime online, that last comment was meant to be bitchily sarcastic) Since today was a [...]

90 Day Challenge: Day 5
Today was arm day at the gym. Most workouts split biceps and triceps into different days, but I prefer doing them all at once. Though I’m not busting out of my t-shirts, I have have increased the weights on certain exercises, so I’m pleased with the progress. I wanted to mention that the body fat [...]
