This blog is documenting the most serious attempt I've ever made to get fit. P90X is 90 days of daily workouts banging around with dumbbells, chin ups, cardio, yoga and martial arts. Tony Horton runs the program and it's amazing. The key to this program is push play every day. You also have to eat right. I'm doing that for sure with a healthy, portion controlled mix of chicken, fish and beef. Supplements are part of the program too. I have a meal replacement shake in the morning and a protein recovery drink at night. Wish me luck and stay tuned by subscribing to my blog via the RSS feed in the toolbar at the top.

Day 64 - Yoga X


Turned the heat up today and worked through Yoga X. Felt good. Nothing else to report. Feeling great.

Let's go Celtics!

Day 63 - Shoulders, Arms, Abs


Solid showing today. Increased all weights and did the bonus round (which I was bailing on in Phase I). Side Tri Rise was not in the vocab back then either, but I killed it with about 15 per side x 2. Sweet.

Hope to do some mt biking this week. Gotta get off the 6x6 mat sometime.

Day 62 - Plyo and Abs


What I like about Sunday morning workouts is doing them on an empty stomach. Makes you feel light and efficient. Today was Plyo and the left-over Ab Ripper that I bailed on yesterday. Nailed both. Rock Star Hops were flying. What a difference doing them now vs. Phase I. I would say that I'm flying about 2-3 inches higher than when I started and the hang-time feels forever.


Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!

Day 61 - Chest and Back




Just call me Mr. 59. Not in the Al Geiberger sense...it's how many more pushups I did on Day 61 vs. Day 1. I worked my butt off today and had to hit the bathroom for a few non-productive dry heaves. Couldn't throw up but was close. That's a great feeling!

Did not push play on the Ab Ripper. Will try and squeeze that in tomorrow.

Staying above the flatline and ahead of the curve...

Day 59 / Day 60!: Yoga - Legs and Back - Abs


Here it is peeps. The double delivery of Day 59 and 60! 2/3 through the program and loving every minute of it! Did Yoga X last night and pushe play to rip through Legs, Back and Abs tonight. Moving through the program. I'll be heading towards the homestretch starting with Phase III tomorrow or Friday and then it's No Holds Barred. This is the time to Bring It. I'll be digging deep to get every last rep and super hot burn to make it count.

Day 58 - Back, Biceps and Ab Ripper X

Upped the weights on many of the exercises and blew it out nicely. Nice to take a 3 day break and get back to pushing play without a single step backwards. Ab Ripper was good too. I am finishing the exercises now and that means I'm getting a better workout. Do more and get better results. That's what the X is for!

Day 57 - Plyo


Major Workout with the Plyo Gang today and a nice cap to the super lean week on the food front. Plyo can be frightening when you first start. You look at the timer and you have 58 minutes to the workout...but once you get in the groove, well, you just get in the groove and you work your buttox off.

Heading up to Connecticut for a Bachelor Party this weekend. Golf, some brews, some gambling at Foxwoods...all for Dunill's farewell party.

Get in the groove - and get it.
