P90X is in the House! The 90 day workout challenge is on.

I wanted to kick off 2010 with a new workout routine which would help my cycling this year. I am sure everyone reading this has seen the infomercials on P90X by Tony Horton and BeachBody. I decided to give this one a run for it’s money. After all, I really enjoy working out to instructional DVDs. I ride my Cyclops trainer indoors during the winter and thru out the year along with many cycling training DVDs. The price seemed right. I already have dumbells, pull up bar, and resistant bands. So I figured, why not give it a try.

Day one was today. 89 more days to go. The first day consisted of a fitness test followed by a 1 hour chest and back workout routine. We followed this up with a 15 minute Ab burner workout DVD.

I am not ready to boast and brag about the P90X program just yet. Quite honestly, it made me feel pretty damn out of shape. Especially my upper body. The pull ups were by far my weakest area. We have a lot of room for improvement on this one.

We did keep track of our reps. for each exercise and I don’t mind saying they were not high numbers by any means. It’s a starting point and we will improve. That’s really all that matters.

Now it’s time to run up stairs and eat a good recovery meal.

89 days to go!
