Here's a little recap on the last days of my week 1:
Friday:
For the next three weeks, Fridays will be my leg, back and ab days. For P90X they suggest to have a chin up bar. I don't have a place to put the chin up bar in our basement, so I bought the heaviest resistant band from Walmart and placed that over the metal bar in the basement ceiling for the back workouts.
My legs were on fire after the workout and so were my abs after the abs ripper x! Those certainly were no joke!
Saturday:
Saturday was a fun workout with Kenpo X! Years back I went to some Bodycombat -lessons at my former gym and I found it very efficient. I really liked Kenpo X, even though I had some difficulties in keeping up with Tony and crew with the different punches and kicks. But my heart rate was up through out the whole workout, that's for sure!
My meals were a bit of the plan with a glass of red wine in the evening. But since I was really strict with my nutrition from Monday to Friday, I let myself relax a bit during weekend. My aim is 80:20 in nutrition: if I stay on track 80 % of the time, I can give myself a break for the rest 20 %.
Sunday:
Sunday was my rest-day. Rest days are important for the body to recover from all the hard work it's been doing. I had really been waiting for the rest-day, but once it came, I found myself thinking of P90X and wanting to head down to basement for some extra workouts. But instead I went shopping for a new fitness mat and a set of 10 lbs dumbbells. All set for a new week!
Week2, bring it!
The rest day did it's trick and I felt really energetic heading to my workout this morning. I'm starting to get used to the 60 min workouts and I don't really even watch the time any more. Now I also know, that I can make it through each of the workouts and I can't wait to see the results I will get after the first 30 days! I'm already starting to feel stronger!
