Hi everyone
Carole, I've ordered you favorite nutrition book from Amazon yesterday. I can hardly wait to read it.
P90X, and I'm wiped out. Do you wear you hr monitor? I did today, hr up to 146 at certain points. Before I had a good 25 min on the Nordictrack, steady good effort, hr on the high 150 and low 160's. Abs tomorrow.
Enjoy the day girls!

Wow...you ordered "Eat to Live"?....the first couple of chapters are a bit boring but then it really picks up. No, I usually only wear my HR monitor when I am doing cardio. I was happy to increase the weight for the few back exercises with weight to 20lb. I am doing Ab Ripper this afternoon....

Hi all, I did PS Chest today then did Rhythmic Step minus the challenge, boy I really don't have that one down yet. On the 3rd combo I almost fell down when I went down the board but my feet got caught and didn't move. UGH!! I thought I was gonna fall or twist my ankle, whew!! Good thing I recovered. I did however do better on the first 2 combos so that is improvement. I did not do abs today , my workout was running into lunch for the boys and I was out of steam after all that stepping.
Now today it is sunny and I WILL lay in the sun.:7
Have a great workout!!:7

Evening all,
We had our very own P90X kick-off today!! We did Back&Chest+Ab Ripper. Totally different from what I have ever done before. First round of push ups I did on my toes and 10+ reps. Second round I went down on my knees and did 10- reps My son was having loads of fun but I had to keep an eye on his form. Using "my tubes" to sub the pull-ups worked well He subbed the weights with the tubes as well. I warned him he might be pretty sore tomorrow. We added on Ab Ripper - my was that a humbling experience. I thought my abs were in really good shape.... Some of the exercises were no problem at all, others, I couln't even lift my legs of the floor. Hats off to you ladies who can do the whole workout. You're in better shape then I am.
BTW one of my colleagues used to be a dietician and she said that my recent weightloss might be because I wasn't eating enough calories given my daily workout expenditure. She warned me though that eating the bad kind of calories for too long would cause weight gain again. So I ordered Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition of Amazon.co.uk. What book on nutrition is your favorite Carole?
Have a nice day,
Dutchie

Well Annette, I was able to get some sun also...at least til these clouds moved in......rain for tomorrow I think! I can still workout though.....Dutchie congrats on your first P90X workout. I will be curious to see if you and your son are a bit sore. As for Ab Ripper, we all were humbled the first time. You won't believe how much you will be able to do the next few times. I still have some where my form is off and that last oblique one where he does 40! I can barely make 30 and I've done it 6 times......The "Eat to Live" book by Dr Joel Fuhrman is slowly turning me into a vegetarian, but after the first week of withdrawals from all the crap I had been eating I feel better than I ever have.....My Hubby has even lost 19 lbs....which is truly amazing......Carole
