P90x Primal Style – Week 10

Tyson — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:36:11 +0000

I really hate to admit this but I am done with P90x for awhile. Week 10 was a hard week to get through. I have done this workout so many times that I didn’t have the passion that I used to. The workouts became so mundane and I felt like I was just going through the motions rather than giving it my all. I was modifying the workouts to the point where I wasn’t even doing them right anymore. I was skipping plyometrics and swimming instead and I was doing Biggest Loser Yoga instead of YogaX.

The biggest disappointment for me came in my body fat. If fluctuated a little bit up and down but never went on a continuous decline like I was hoping it would. This week I am going to start something new. I am not sure what that is going to be quite yet but you can bet that I will post it on this here blog.

Thank you to everyone that commented on my progress and continued to support me.

P90x Challenge – Week 11

This week has been tough staying on schedule with all the activities and my weight has fluctuated and is now at 166 this morning. It’s time to buckle back down and get busy. I want to be under 160 by next week.

Last week was my last week of P90x. I hit a wall and no amount of pushing was going to get me over it. I also have managed to jam the bones in my left foot so all forms of intense cardio were out the window. This week I am taking it easy with some light swimming as my cardio and not weight training. Next week I hope to start a new training program. As of right now, I am not sure what that is going to be. I may join my wife in doing Turbofire or I may do the “300” workout.

I’m finding the workouts are getting easier for me week by week and Tony’s voice and jokes still get on my nerves. I have had to skip a few of the workouts last week but also seeing more results. I’m now down to 160ish and started at 187. I’m making good progress and need to stick with it and get more dedicated to drop below the 160 mark.

Last week was a good week for working out. I did my usual workouts and even mixed in a few misc. things like walking and trail running. My weight and body fat has remained static though. With that said, this will be my last official week of P90x. I have hit a wall with my working out and I feel the only way to overcome it is to switch things up a bit. I know that I only have 2 weeks left of P90x but if my mind is not in it, then would just be wasted anyway.

P90x Primal Style – Week 9

Tyson — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:44:26 +0000

I am late getting this out there but it’s been a crazy week. As I listed in my P90x challenge post, I am getting really tired of P90x. I have done it so many times that it’s no longer a challenge and I feel that I have entered into a redundancy factor. Even so, I managed to lose some pounds this week and got my body fat done to 10%. 3 weeks left and then I am onto something else!

I have been back at it this week. I’m finding that I want to workout and miss it when I don’t which is a strange feeling for me. I’m noticing more that my body is changing and am getting more compliments from friends and co-workers that I’m losing weight. Although I’m trimming down my weight is seeming to fluctuate a little so I’m not sure if it’s muscle that’s being built or if I’m truly gaining some weight back. I’m proudest this week of the Yoga and Kenpo. This is the first time I was able to do both workouts all the way through and feel comfortable with the moves. I’m still not as flexible as I need to be for Yoga but it’s getting better each time.

Well, last week was my final week with P90X.

There were several factors that came into play. First was that I never got to the point where I felt comfortable with any of the workouts. Second, I really missed a lot and wasn’t seeing the benefits of the workouts. Third, the time commitment was far too much for me. If I had a convenient place to workout during lunch or even if the workouts were 45 minutes rather than an hour-plus, I think I might have been able to handle it, but I just couldn’t make it work. Tony Horton’s annoying countenance wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back, but it was certainly a contributing factor.

Instead of doing P90X, I’m going to spend the next 30 days doing the EA Fitness 30-day Challenge on the Wii. I like the workouts a lot more. I can get through them and they are a bit shorter. I know that this is only further evidence that I need to workout more, but for my schedule as well as my current fitness capabilities, this is the way I’m going.

Sorry to be a quitter on P90X, but I’d like to get to a place where I feel I can handle it better. From a fitness perspective, I just felt all along that it was far too advanced for me.

I switched things up last week as I am getting a bit run down with P90x. Instead of Plyo on Tuesday I instead went swam laps at my gym. On Thursday, I continue to do the Biggest Loser Weight Loss yoga program. I made Thursday a doubles day. I did Yoga in the morning and went swimming in the afternoon. I skipped the legs and back workout on Friday and didn’t do any cardio on Saturday except for a few walks with the family. Whatever I did worked though because I am down to 170lbs and 10% body fat.
