I love working out. And since I can't get a job right now, it's basically the most productive thing I can do. I've always wanted to be ripped, but never have followed through on a workout plan. I love the energy you get from working out regularly. I love how better it makes you feel, physically and mentally.
I've been working out lightly for the past month, in preparation for the P90X program. I've attempted the P90X twice. The first time I just lacked motivation. The second time I got injured. This time, I'm 100% motivated and I'm not going to over do it so that I injure myself.
If you don't know, the P90X is an intense workout program that lasts for 90 days, hence the 90 in P90X. You're basically doing different workouts everyday, 6 days a week. There's 3 phases, each lasting 4 weeks with a recovery week on the 4th week of the "phase".
Right now I've just completed Day 3, tomorrow is Day 4. I'll give you a run down on what each day entails.
Weeks 1-3
-Day 1: Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X
-Day 2: Plyometrics
-Day 3: Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X
-Day 4: Yoga X
-Day 5: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X
-Day 6: Kenpo X
-Day 7: Rest or Stretch X
Week 4 (Recovery Week)
-Day 1: Yoga X
-Day 2: Core Synergistics
-Day 3: Kenpo X
-Day 4: X Stretch
-Day 5: Core Synergistics
-Day 6: Yoga X
-Day 7: Rest or Stretch X
That's phase 1. The other phases are different, but not dramatically.
There's also a diet plan that you can follow. It comes with a diet book, with a whole different number of diets you can take on. I'm not a heavy person, at all. So I'm not going to go on a full diet plan. I am however watching what I eat, and eating good foods. Also I'm only drinking water and occasionally Powerade.
After the P90X, I will start with heavy muscle gain workouts. Such as bench pressing. The P90X is supposed to get you toned and ripped. Not really a big muscle building program. I don't want to get that big anyway, just something that I find satisfies me.
Post your workout routine, or your plans on getting in shape!
