P90X will be formally starting on Monday

I've tried a few of the P90x workout sessions, the Plyometrics is one of the real killer ones in working the muscles and leaving me sore the next day. The sessions tried so far are:

• Chest & Back - left my entire upper body sore!
• Plyometrics - left me struggling to walk for a couple of days
• Legs & Back
• Kenpo X
• Stretch X
• Chest, Shoulders & Triceps.

All of these sessions have pushed me hard and my body is hardening (I think) to the workouts as the soreness following a session wasn't so bad last night!

So my approach will be to continue with my current nutrition, I'm not avidly counting my calorie intake however my guesstimate will be that it is in the area of 1800kcals-2100kcals.

I'm making one minor change to the schedule. I'll be switching the days that I do Kenpo X and Yoga X around so that the 90 minute Yoga Session falls on a weekend. I may not complete each session on the required day depending on travel commitments, however if there is a break then I'll either continue from where I got to or I will restart the current week. I will continue with my current workout in addition which includes 2 x 20 minutes of cardio each day in addition to the hula and jump rope.

My official start will begin on Monday with Chest & Back X. For the remaining 4 days of this week I'll continue with following the following P90x sessions:

• Core Synergistics (Friday)
• Back & Biceps (Saturday)
• Yoga X (Sunday)

Bring It!

Update: 25th July 2010

I've decided to delay the start until the new dumbbells turn up. If all goes well that should be the first week in August. Without the dumbbells it will be more difficult to really assess progress as I'll have a very limited selection of weights to work with.

In the interim I'll continue with P90X next week in the current ad-hoc manner, which will mean P90X most, if not every day, however I'll mix up the order a bit and cover the sessions I've not tried yet.
