P90X, Days 64 — 70, Week 10

Well this round of P90X has gone by pretty quickly. When I started back at the begin­ning of July, 90 days seemed like such a long time. Now not so much, but like I’ve come to real­ize, get­ting fit and stay­ing fit is a jour­ney, not a des­ti­na­tion. That may sound cliche, but I keep telling myself that I have some lofty fit­ness goals. It’s going to take more than 90 days. Day 90 is a mile­stone date for me, not a com­ple­tion date.

My goals when I started P90X again in July were to get in shape, lose weight (to the tune of about 55 – 65 pounds) and get leaner. I haven’t lost as much weight as I had tar­geted. Maybe I was too aggres­sive with the amount of weight I wanted to lose in that amount of time. But I have lost some and my clothes are fit­ting bet­ter and I’m start­ing to look leaner. I’ve also got­ten into bet­ter shape since I started. I can com­plete exer­cises and rou­tines I couldn’t before. I’ve seen tremen­dous improve­ment with some of the more dif­fi­cult P90X work­outs like Ply­o­met­rics and Core Syn­er­gis­tics.

So now the next step is to con­tinue to build on those suc­cesses in the next round. But let’s not look too far ahead. I still have a few weeks left in this round and need to remain focused on those workouts.

This week was a good week and I had a great amount of energy and momen­tum. I con­tinue to see small gains in the num­ber of reps I can com­plete. Here’s what Week 10 of P90X looked for me:

Day 64 — Chest, Shoul­ders, and Triceps

Day 65 — X Stretch

Day 66 — Back and Biceps

Day 67 — Yoga X

Day 68 — Legs and Back

Day 69 — Core Syn­er­gis­tics

Day 70 — Ply­o­met­rics
