End of Phase 1 is Close at Hand!

Good afternoon!  I am almost finished with Phase 1 of P90X!  3 weeks, whoa!  I honestly think this might be the longest I've stuck to an exercise regimen.  Although, truthfully, I had a rough week 3 due to the cramps and bloating I endured, (see previous post), and the past few days haven't been that great either.  However, I can't let some not so great days get me discouraged, though it's easy to do.  I just have to find my motivation again!

Yesterday I went out and bought a heart rate/calories burned/watch for myself and some yoga blocks.  To be honest, I really am excited to try out the new items!  I think my yoga will be a bit easier with the blocks, as I'm not all that flexible yet.

I'm also excited to start Phase 2 of P90X.  I'm going to be attempting to do the doubles program.  It may be a bit ambitious for my first go round, but I figure I should just go ahead and try it!  If you're unfamiliar with the programs, there's basically 3 subsets of P90X programs; Classic, Doubles and Lean.  The Classic is the basic program with 3 days of resistance and 3 days of cardio/yoga.  Double is the Classic with more cardio thrown in, with both AM & PM workouts.  Lean is gain based off of the the Classic as well but with 4 days of cardio and 2 of resistance.  If you'd like to read the official explanation of the 3 different types of programs, you can read them here, and even see the workout schedule.   

And that, ladies and gents, is about all that I have to say for the moment.  Short, I know, but what more is there to be said?  I'll be posting pics next week, as it will be the end of Phase 1 and start of Phase 2.  Yay!  I can't wait!!!  Now, I just gotta get over this little slump I've been in.  I can do it though, I know I can!  Just gotta remember why I started in the first place!  Hope y'all have a great day!

Later,

Sarah
