As I had initially mentioned a few blogs back, I would be kicking up Power 90 by adding workouts from the Power 90 Master Series. This past week, I began the 5-6 series, or Power 90 Master Series workouts. These are the last workouts that I will be doing before I begin P90X Classic on August 9, 2009.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve had my setbacks, but I wasn’t going to let that get to me. After the tweak in my lower back by lifting 30 pounds, I dropped the weight significantly to 12.5pounds. I received a Twitter message from a fellow coach who said, “Dude, what are you doing?!?!? Lifting heavier is better!” I hear where he was coming from. I called him a few days later, and I explained my reasoning for lowering the weight – to protect my lower back.
When I dropped the weight, I increased the reps. Although I was lifting 12.5pounds, I was doing 20 reps per exercise – so I was still getting a burn. Throughout the week, I gradually increased the weights by 2.5 each weight workout, but I kept the same reps. At the end of this week, I was lifting 17.5pounds and doing 20 reps. It was an ultimate burn, and I liked it and hated it at the same time. But you know what, I knew that if I stuck with it, that it would eventually pay off in the end.
Saturday morning, I woke up and worked out to “Recovery 4 Results” from Beachbody’s One On One series. Now for anyone who isn’t familiar with personal trainer Tony Horton, he has over 25 years as a personal trainer. He has created multiple workout programs through Beachbody ranging from super-stacking programs like Ten Minute Trainer to extreme exercise programs such as P90X and P90X+.
“Recovery 4 Results” had stretching, light weight workouts, a little yoga, and it allows you to help recover from a strenuous workout the day before. Once the workout completed, I felt great, my muscles no longer hurt, and I was ready to start the next week.
I’m jumping back to Power 90’s 3-4 series JUST for this week. I want to get in a few more workouts from the 3-4 series. The week after that will be my final week in Power 90/Master Series. Then, on August 9, I begin P90X.
Have a great day everyone! ONWARD!

Weight (the kind you lift)
No, this blog post is not about gaining weight or losing weight, it's about LIFTING weight. Yeah, I'm talking about the weight that you use when you're doing arm curls, arm extensions, even dips. Yes, weight related exercises.
For the past 45+ days, I have been doing an accellerated version of Beachbody's exercise program, Power 90. I've been sick, I've pulled a muscle, but I am still here and I am still working out, until my latest setback.
My arms gave out.
When I first did Power 90 a year and a half ago, I started with 3 pound weights (please, no laughing) and increased it over time. I started that low because I had absolutely no strength in my arms. Once I completed that, I started the next level - the Power 90 Master Series. I had hoped that this program would prepare me for P90X. During the Power 90 Master Series (or P90MS), I began with 10pounds. I ended my second round of P90MS by lifting 25pounds. This was a huge accomplishment for me and I was very proud of it.
When I began P90X, I went back to the beginning of lifting 10pounds, and I'm glad that I did. The workouts were intense, and they tested me - literally. By the end of my third round of P90X, I was lifting 25pounds with my arms. So I was back to where I was at the end of P90MS.
During that time, I drastically improved my health statistics. Now, I wanted the physical results to match my health results.
So I went back to Power 90, but I did an accellerated version it. I was doing well by the end of the second phase (the 3-4 phase), and then I ran into problems with the weights. I increased the weight from 25 to 30pounds - and that's where the trouble started. I started feeling pain in my lower back. In the following weight workout, I wore a weight belt to protect my lower back and I did less reps. It felt as though the belt was preventing me from lifting my best, yet it was protecting my lower back from injury. It was a catch 22.
I admit, I did not complete the 3-4 series to the best of my ability. But, I am not digressing. I am pressing forward.
Tomorrow morning, I begin the Power 90 Master Series, or 5-6 series. Instead of increasing the weights, I am increasing the reps. During the 3-4 series, I lifted 25pounds with up to 15reps per exercise. As I begin the 5-6series, I'm dropping the weight again - purposely - to work on the endurance. I'm starting with 20 pounds. Even if I'm doing 15-20 reps, it's working the muscles just as hard as if I am lifting a heavier weight. Although some people may disagree, this will end up helping me in the end. If I can do more reps with a lower weight, this will make it easier over time as I increase the weight - primarily because I will be protecting my back, I won't be losing my form, and I will be much more confident of what I am doing.
In addition to doing the primary workouts from P90MS - Sweat 5-6 and Sculpt 5-6 - I will also be doing the other workouts as well: Core Cardio, Cardio Intervals, Plyo Legs, and Upper Middle Lower. In addition, I will also be doing a workout from the One On One series titled "Cardio Intervals". It will
Some may say that I'm taking a step back. I believe that sometimes one needs to take a step backward before progressing forward. If lowering the weights and increasing the reps helps develop the endurance of my muscles as well as strengthening them over time, then I am doing exactly what I am expecting.
The results will show up in time. I have time.
I do not have a video for phase two, yet. That is in process. I hope to have one up soon. When it is complete, I will post it here.
Onward, and forward...

P90X In New York City
On Saturday, my girlfriend and I drove to NYC (yes, we drove into NYC to try something different, we usually take the train) for a P90X workout at Chelsea Studios. The workout was P90X’s Core Synergistics. After doing the P90X program three times, I know how CS can push you. I didn’t workout this time, by choice. Instead, I filmed it with two different video cameras. Beachbody coach Nazly Jordan took photos at different times throughout the workout. So, between the photos and video, we should be able to put something together.
Sunday, we planned on heading to New York City’s Central Park to meet up with Jimmy Hays Nelson and several other coaches. Jimmy does a P90X workout in Central Park on Sunday mornings at 10am. I intended on filming that workout and making one video to post on youtube. Unfortunately, our timing was off. We left a little late and the train we took in NYC dropped us off at the opposite side of the park. Even though we didn’t get to workout with Jimmy and his group, we had a great walk through Central Park followed by a great walk on the streets of NYC as well.
There will always be a “next time”. So until then, have a great week!!!

Shoes
I have always heard the phrases, “the suit makes the man” or “the right outfit improves your appearance.” In the movie The Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman’s character asked this question, “How often do you look at another man’s shoes?”
I have lived with scoliosis all of my life and I’ve known that my posture was hunched. When I was diagnosed with it there were two options – a back operation and recovery time, or a back brace. I did not want a back operation or the rehab time associated with it (six months in a body cast, and then six months in therapy learning how to stand, walk and sit again) because I always thought there was another way. I also didn’t want a 6” metal rod inserted into my back to straighten the spine either. When I started exercising two years ago, I found that other way.
Exercising improved my “calmness”. It developed my muscles, strengthened my bones, which also helped straighten my posture and improve my appearance. Exercising helped me in more ways than I had ever expected. For that, I am truly grateful.
The other night, I was standing up, and I looked in a mirror noticing my posture – hunched. I knew that there was something I had to do about it.
A few weeks ago, I slipped and fell on the floor of my parents’ kitchen because I wore out the threads on the bottom of my sneakers and I did not have support.
I went to Modell’s sporting goods with the intent on buying new sneakers for casual wear. While there, I learned that the width of my feet had changed, and I had been “squeezing” into my sneakers. I tried on wider sneakers, and something happened. I stood taller, stood straighter, and my back did not hunch! I was excited, and I tried on a pair of cross training sneakers to use while working out. I put them on, took one step, and BOOM, I stood taller, straighter, and I felt better.
When I got home, I worked out with such intensity with the new sneakers that I was blown away! I worked out harder, much more intensely, and I sweated more. I loved it! I absolutely LOVED it!!! When I finished, I was covered in sweat and felt fantastic. I was so motivated, so enthused, and I couldn’t wait to get home from work every day or wake up first thing in the morning JUST to workout!!!
One positive result from standing straighter is that I see more of a change and definition in my physical appearance. In just a few days, after working out this way, I’ve been pulling the belt on my jeans one extra notch because other wise it is too loose!
I can’t wait to have my next set of photos taken to see what the results actually “show!

VIDEO Power 90 Phase 1
I filmed about 12 different workouts from Power 90 1-2 Series (Sweat 1-2, Sculpt 1-2, Ab Ripper 100) during phase 1, days 1-30. This took a few days to assemble because I added text to it as well as music.
I also added a "preview" or clip for the workouts for month two - Power 90 3-4 Series (Sweat 3-4, Sculpt 3-4, Ab Ripper 200).
Here it is. Check it out and let me know what you think.
See you next week!

P90X in NYC
Fellow Beachbody coaches Gabrielle Valentino and Nazly Jordan hosted a P90X workout and Beachbody opportunity on Saturday, June 20th at Chelsea Studios in New York City.
There were Beachbody coaches from New York, New Jersey, and even as far away as from Virginia – all who came to NYC for this workout. Now THAT was cool!!!
We worked out to P90X’s “Plyometrics”. Everyone worked hard throughout the workout. Nazly Jordon brought her digital camera and took several photos of the event. She’s posted them on Facebook. Once the workout ended, Nazly discussed the Beachbody Opportunity.
I give my girlfriend, Gloria, who also attended the event, a LOT of credit for sticking it out throughout the workout. Gloria has not tried P90X. She has done workouts from Beachbody’s Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam programs. After the workout, Gloria did tell me that she would eventually like to do P90X.
Good for you, Gloria! Bring it – in every workout that you do! :-)
After leaving Chelsea Studios, we found a health food store and we had lunch there. Nazly said she will do another workout like this in NYC next month on July 11th. Keep me posted, Nazly, I will definitely be there!!! Once we completed lunch, we said our goodbyes and headed home. The workout was intense, the people there were great, and it was a lot of fun!
Sunday morning, I felt it in my quads, legs, and butt – I haven’t felt THAT type of burn since the first time I did Plyometrics in May 2008! I loved that!!!!
For anyone interested, the next workout will be on July 11th, with a location to be determined. I will post updated info when I have it.
Have a great day everyone! Thank you for reading this! Have a great week!
In the meantime, here's a photo from the event.

Power 90 - Phase 1 Completed
As of Saturday June 13, I completed phase one of Power 90 (days 1-30). Now I know a lot of people would say "but Power 90 is a 90 day program, 45 days in 1-2 and 45 days in 3-4. why 30 days?" Because I'm incoporating the Power 90 Master Series (5-6). 30 days per series.
The 1-2 series has a 50% completion - which includes the two weeks that I was sick, and the days that I worked out after recovering.
I refuse to get bent out of shape out of "missed workouts". I'll just progress forwards and keep on working hard, eating right, and taking care of myself.
Instead, I am pressing forwards onto phase two.
As a "visual" comparision, here are my measurements from day 0 to day 28 of Power 90.
Date: 04/26/09 / 06/13/09
Neck: 15.5" /
Shoulders: 43.0" /
L. Bicep: 12.0" /
R. Bicep: 11.5" /
L. Forearm: 10.75" /
R. Forearm: 10.5" /
Chest: 35.875" /
Waist: 35.875" /
Hips: 35.75" /
L. Thigh: 20.125" /
R. Thigh: 19.875" /
L. Calf: 13.50" /
R. Calf: 13.0" /
TOTAL: 277.25" /
Weight: 155.80 pounds /
Normally, this would have been 28-30 days. But take into consideration the two weeks that I was sick, and the numbers (or dates) match out correctly.
I am putting together the video footage for the 1-2 phase and will post it by the end of the week.
But for now, onward to phase 2...

The Experiment
For most of my adult life, I have been cholesterol medications of one form or the other. A few months ago, I wondered to myself, “what would my cholesterol be if I DIDN’T take any cholesterol medicine?”
I ran out of cholesterol medicine last month (which was not planned), but this was the beginning of my test. During the time, I still ate clean, I exercised almost every day, and I took care of myself. When my cholesterol was checked, the total was 264points. The HDL level was higher than the LDL. I knew that this would change. At that doctor’s visit, I obtained a prescription for my cholesterol medicine. I took the cholesterol medicine daily, ate clean meals, and exercised… until I caught a cold. Once I got rid of the cold, I started exercising.
I visited my doctor on Saturday, he took a new cholesterol level since I’m now taking the cholesterol medicine. The results absolutely blew my mind. The total cholesterol was 184points. Yes, you read that correctly - 184!!!The breakdown is LDL 109 and HDL 75.
These results were the answer to my experiment. During the course of ONE month of not taking my cholesterol medicine vs. taking it, the difference was 60points.
Now, I take the cholesterol medicine daily, and I am also working out. On my next visit to the doctor in the next few months, I would like to see what my cholesterol will be now that I’m taking the cholesterol medicine, working out, and eating well.
That’s my post for the day.
ONWARD! :)

Getting Back Into It
Once you have been doing something for a while and something happens where you're unable to do that, it is difficult to get back into it. That's not so with exercising and eating right. Statistically, people experience setbacks, or situations which divert them from their original goal. Unexpected situations, a move, change of jobs... there's always "something".
Yes, I've been fighting a cold. But, I took the appropriate time to get enough sleep, drink enough liquids, eat healthy, and take care of myself. As the cold disappared, and I felt better. Once that happened, I thought "now that you feel better, WHY aren't you working out?" Last Saturday that was my goal. I worked out to Beachbody's "Ho' Ala Ke Kino", which helped me get back into the workouts. Sunday, I picked up Power 90 in the 1-2 series. This was both helpful and motivational because despite the cold, I DID NOT GIVE UP, and for me, that was the drive that I needed. My OWN drive. I did it myself.
Throughout the week, I worked out, yet I was still fighting the tail end of the cold. It didn't stop me. I kept pushing play and working out the best of my ability.
Yesterday, I visited my doctor for a quarterly checkup. The anti-seizure medication is monitored quarterly to make sure the numbers look alright. But on my last visit a few months ago, the medication numbers looked good - but, my cholesterol numbers were bad. The cholesterol jumped up to 264. Towards the end of 2008, I lowered my cholesterol to 185. It went back up because I ran out of cholesterol medicine. Ok, that's a 79 point difference. If I lowered it once before, I could do it again.
Since that visit, I renewed the prescription for my cholesterol medicine and have been taking it daily. My doctor took a blood level to monitor what my cholesterol level was.
Although I'm not "at" where I want to be, I feel better, I am eating cleaner better meals, and I am confident that I will achieve my goals - both with fitness, health, and in life. Most importantly - my posture is straighter, I am much more relaxed (must be an endorphyn thing), and I can "see" my goal. In my mind, I can see what I want my results to be, and I am striving PAST that.
Today, WOWY, Beachbody's super online gym where we log our workouts is under construction. Beachbody is revamping the entire website this week. I have viewed the photos of what the new website will look like, and I'm very confident in the new look. Unfortunately, I won't be able to WOWY my workouts every day.
BUT
Just because WOWY is not working IS NOT AN EXCUSE NOT TO WORKOUT!! Sorry, I refuse to use that as an excuse. If I'm hurt, or sick, that's another story. But I feel good, I'm ready to workout.
I'm working out again, filming my workouts, and completing stage one of Power 90.
ONWARD!
Next week, I'll post the change in stats from day 0 to day 30 of Power 90, as well as photos.

Throughout the week, I worked out, yet I was still fighting the tail end of the cold. It didn't stop me. I kept pushing play and working out the best of my ability.
Yesterday, I visited my doctor for a quarterly checkup. The anti-seizure medication is monitored quarterly to make sure the numbers look alright. But on my last visit a few months ago, the medication numbers looked good - but, my cholesterol numbers were bad. The cholesterol jumped up to 264. Towards the end of 2008, I lowered my cholesterol to 185. It went back up because I ran out of cholesterol medicine. Ok, that's a 79 point difference. If I lowered it once before, I could do it again.
Since that visit, I renewed the prescription for my cholesterol medicine and have been taking it daily. My doctor took a blood level to monitor what my cholesterol level was.
Although I'm not "at" where I want to be, I feel better, I am eating cleaner better meals, and I am confident that I will achieve my goals - both with fitness, health, and in life. Most importantly - my posture is straighter, I am much more relaxed (must be an endorphyn thing), and I can "see" my goal. In my mind, I can see what I want my results to be, and I am striving PAST that.
Today, WOWY, Beachbody's super online gym where we log our workouts is under construction. Beachbody is revamping the entire website this week. I have viewed the photos of what the new website will look like, and I'm very confident in the new look. Unfortunately, I won't be able to WOWY my workouts every day.
BUT
Just because WOWY is not working IS NOT AN EXCUSE NOT TO WORKOUT!! Sorry, I refuse to use that as an excuse. If I'm hurt, or sick, that's another story. But I feel good, I'm ready to workout.
I'm working out again, filming my workouts, and completing stage one of Power 90.
ONWARD!
Next week, I'll post the change in stats from day 0 to day 30 of Power 90, as well as photos.
Yes, I've been fighting a cold. But, I took the appropriate time to get enough sleep, drink enough liquids, eat healthy, and take care of myself. As the cold disappared, and I felt better. Once that happened, I thought "now that you feel better, WHY aren't you working out?" Last Saturday that was my goal. I worked out to Beachbody's "Ho' Ala Ke Kino", which helped me get back into the workouts. Sunday, I picked up Power 90 in the 1-2 series.

More Books...
A question that arises when one gets sick is, “I’m sick, what am I going to do now?” I drank a lot of liquids (tea with honey, a cup of coffee in the morning), and I also drank water during the day. Someone once told me that “water flushes the toxins of your body”. I just hope it flushed out the cold.
Since I couldn’t workout, I needed something to do. On Saturday, my girlfriend and I went to the bookstore. There were a lot of books mentioned at the Beachbody Coach Summit that I wanted to purchase, and I wanted to read all of them. I purchased many books on Saturday, with the intention to read as many as possible while sick.
During this week, even though I couldn’t workout, I have read three books:
1. “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson, MD
2. “The One-Minute Manager” by Kenneth H. Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
3. “The One-Minute Sales Person” by Spencer Johnson, MD
These are short books, I finished each one in about an hour. The principle of the One-Minute Manager and One-Minute Sales Person were so similar that by the time I was halfway through the One-Minute Sales Person, I knew what the other goals were in the book. This was beneficial because I was able to see more of a broader perspective, and how the one minute manager and the one minute sales person related to each other.
The next book that I’m going to read will really tie all of them together. “The 30 second sales pitch”. Interestingly enough, as a Beachbody coach, I have a tendency to be wordy. Through the books that I have read and the books that I have purchased, I am hoping that they help me become a better person AND a better coach.
Others I have inclued:
- "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracey

Getting Sick
As a result of the fluctuating temperatures lately in NJ, I knew that I was bound to get sick one of these days. I did. On Saturday May 23, I succumbed to this cold. I’m a little stubborn, and avoided the over-the-counter remedies because I have had enough of the “FEDs” (Actifed, Sudafed, Un-Sick-Me-Fed). Just kidding. Instead, I chose a different approach by avoiding them and choosing to take more of a natural approach.
I went over to Beachbody’s online store and picked up something called Herbal Immune Boost. Initially, I thought that this stuff would give you an extra boost in the morning in the event you wanted to avoid caffeine. It did MUCH more than that. OMG, this stuff was absolutely incredible!!! Check this out, it does exactly what it says – it fights whatever is in your system to give you an extra boost NATURALLY throughout the day. No caffeine, no drugs, none of that. Plus, just like any other Beachbody supplement that I take, I research every one of the ingredients. I’m talking everything. Why? Because I want to know what “green tea extract” is (for example). I want to understand it and know how that particular ingredient will help me. After researching the ingredients for the Herbal Immune Boost, I purchased it, particularly because I wanted to get rid of this cold bug.
I took this every day, drank a lot of water, and I had hot tea with honey to ease my throat.
By last Saturday, the May 30th, the congestion had broken up, I felt better, and I could tell that the cold was going away. However, I was still coughing.
I couldn’t workout if I was sick, and no way would I even attempt working out if I was coughing. If I couldn’t breath properly (because of the cough), I wouldn’t last 10 minutes – even in Power 90!
Still, I wanted to workout. So, I picked out something very simple. A stretching video by Beachbody called “Ho’ Ala Ke Kino” which is Hawaiian for Awaken The Body. This Beachbody workout by Tony Horton (creator of P90X) was filmed on the beach in Hawaii. It had stretching, light kicks and punches, and light yoga at the end. I broke a good sweat and felt great afterwards. Breaking that sweat is what probably also broke my cold.
Sunday morning, I took a chance. I worked out to Power 90’s Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100. I took it easy. Instead of working out hard, I focused more on my form instead of speed. In addition, I also kept my upper back straight. This is difficult with scoliosis in ANY workout. For instance, if someone says to me, “touch your toes without bending your knees”, I could. However, in order for me to reach my toes, you would see my upper back curve forward as I reach my toes. Not the most pleasant thing to see. This time, I bent from the waist (like a hinge) and I kept my back straight. I could not reach past my knees, but that is alright because I am confident that this will improve over time.
I have maintained a positive attitude, even when sick. I’m working out again, feeling great, and today is another new day. Now, once I’ve shaken this cold, I will be working out full-force.

Family Dinners
I attended a family event yesterday. My cousin completed graduate school, and we went to a restaurant to celebrate. The appetizers included: fired mozzarella, fried calamari, and fried eggplant rollatini. As I was looking at them, I heard a voice in my head say, "FRIED food is how you put on weight in the FIRST PLACE! Do YOU want to go back to that again!?!?!" I ate one calamari ring. Yeah, just ONE. My parents started asking me, "What's the matter, aren't you hungry?" "Are you feeling alright?" "Is there something wrong?" I avoided the explanation, as I've said it TOO many times. I've just been extremely conscious of my meals and what I eat. Instead, I ate what I was comfortable with eating, and I did not over eat. I refused to. My meals included a caesar salad, and chicken francaise as a main dish - and I drank a LOT of water.
Afterwards, people started saying, "I'm sooo full" or "I shouldn't have eaten that much bread..." Me? I did not overeat, at all. If I can do this once, I can do this consistently to make it an instinctive habit.
This week, I'd like to make a quick shout out to fellow Beachbody coach and friend, DeeDeeFit - in regards to our fitness bet, that's day TWO in the books! When you're ready to bring it, say the word, I'm still going!!! I know there are many more days ahead in this challenge, but I'm anxious to get there and take it to the next level!! BRING IT, my friend!
Until next time.... have a fantastic holiday weekend everyone!!!

Power 90, week 1.. with a twist
I did better with the cardio workouts this week, but I pushed it in the weight workouts towards the end of the week, and I was happy about that.
I initiated a challenge with a fellow Beachbody Coach. Debbie, aka DeeDeeFit, wants to get into shape for summer. So do I. We're both experiencing different difficulties and setbacks. I said, "Debbie, I challenge you to a workout challenge - best results by the end of the summer." She said (and I quote), "YOU ARE SO ON!"
This challenge is NOT against each other, it's against ourselves. Debbie and I are friends, and fellow coaches. This challenge will keep us accountable for our workouts and meals because know that we have SOMEONE ELSE watching us.
Speaker Anthony Robbins talks about deadlines, explaining how deadlings can influence our behavior.
Well, now I have a deadline.
Debbie is doing Chalean Extreme (which is 120 days).
120 days for me would be - Power 90 (90 days), and the first 30 days of P90X.
I also posted this challenge on the message boards, so this is NOW public. People are aware of it.
Keep checking back, I'll post updates.
It's BRING IT time.

Insanity - the workouts
Beachbody trainer, ShaunT, has created a new program coming out in July 2009 called INSANITY. ShaunT's Beachbody exercise programs have been dance-based, but this new program is NOT. At the Beachbody coach summit in March 2009, I saw a video preview of Insanity. In addition, during a workout with all of the Beachbody trainers at Universal Studios, ShaunT did 10 minutes of Insanity - and let me tell you, a LOT of people were screaming from it.
In my mail on Friday, I received this DVD from Beachbody - Insanity: Plyometric Cardio Circuit. My initial thought was after doing three rounds of P90X, I THOUGHT (optimal word here) I would be ready to do this.
NOPE! Not at all! The workout was intense - I didn't even last the 10 minute warmup before my heartrate felt like it was beating about 170bpm. From experience, when it DOES beat like that, I'm working hard and I eventually have to take it easy.
I must say that I am NOT ready for this program.... yet. This is why I'm continually progressing through through the various programs - striving for the NEXT level.
Until next time.

Fitness Progress (video)
Alright. I've worked on this video for a few weeks.
This is a video story of what I've accomplishes so far with my health and fitness. As I continue progressing in the workouts, I will post a new one to show how I've progressed from the beginning of the program to that point of posting the video.
Check back here at the blog for more video updates!

Back To The Beginning
Alright. Time to fess up. Work has become a little more stressful than expected, and I wasn't getting the proper nutrition or sleep that I had hoped for. Instead of beating myself up by it (I'm not that type of person), I'm going to back to square one, and bring it from the beginning of the Power 90 schedule.
No kettlebells until later on. Now, it's time for old school workouts. Just bringing it, and just getting the job done.
Saturday morning, I worked out to almost all of Beachbody's "The Fountain of Youth" from Tony Horton's One On One series. I've wanted to try this for weeks, it was a good sweat, and i enjoyed it a lot.
Out with the old routine (the "excuses"), in with the new one.
New beginning, new photos, new measurements. I'll post those tomorrow.
See ya then.

Power 90 - phase one summary
As of today, phase one (or days 1-28) of Power 90 has been completed. There were 28 workouts scheduled over four weeks. I completed 60% of them.
In 28 days, I lost inches on my neck, shoulders, chest, thighs, and calves. I gained muscle on my arms. I lost a total of 0.625” on my entire body. In addition, I gained a pound.
There were many sidetracks and setbacks during the past four weeks, but that is what makes this a challenge because situations occur (and yes, they will occur) to set you back from your goal. Why? I expected that because of the UNKNOWN factor. The lesson learned is – stick to it! Because by sticking to it and doing everything correctly (exercise, nutrition, supplementation, hydration) you CAN and WILL accomplish your goal. You may even surpass it.
That alone is worth working for.

Power 90 week 4
I still had some difficulties at work this week, but I refused to let that prevent me from working out. instead, I saw that as a challenge. By the end of the wek, this difficulty was managed, and working out helped reduce my stress from work.
I did alright with my eating this week. I thought more long-term instead of the “right here right now” principle. I ate pretty clean. But just as my workouts, I knew that this is ONLY phase one, with a lot more ahead of me.
In increased the dumbbell weights from 22.5pounds to 25 pounds, and I felt it. This meant that the heavier weights are working and I’m working the muscles. I was very happy about that.
I videotaped several workouts this week and they are included in the video for phase one that I’m working on.
Onward...

Power 90 week 3
Job-related stress can get to ya. We all know it, we all go through it. The question is how do we handle it?
This week, the job stresses got to me. I am going back to my old job in the company from two years ago, and there have been many changes made. During the past two months, I have been learning the new processes of the job, which is both time consuming and detailed. It has been stressful. Six months ago, I stopped taking aspirin and pain medication because I did not want to rely on it anymore. I wouldn’t take it because I felt as though it was not necessary anymore because I viewed aspirin as“escapism from reality”. That changed on Wednesday. My head was pounding, and I had some Tylenol. It alleviated the pain. Hey, ya do what ya gotta do and you go on.
In light of the stress, I refused to become a stress eater this week. I was extremely careful of what I was eating and drinking. Any coffee that I chose to have, I got a cup of decaf coffee. I know, there’s a little bit of caffeine in it, but I just didn’t want a regular cup to get me jolted and running around like a chicken without a head.
Briefly, due to the stress, I slept more at night, and I did not exercise this week.
I know, not a good thing.
Still, it happened, and I am not beating myself up about it. It is a lesson on how to manage stress and frustration – sweat it all away.
On a positive note, I bought TWO 18-pound KBs. Why two? One for each hand while doing Power 90's "Ab Ripper 100". Yes, it intensifies the abdominal workout because you are working your abs harder – just as when you increase the weights during a weight workout. In order to achieve extreme results, we need to do extreme things.
Fortunately, I am confident that this week’s extreme-ness of Power 90 will benefit me in future workouts. I will build up the strength in my arms to compensate for the heavier KBs. Who knows, I will probably increase the KBs again before starting P90X.
In addition to the KBs, I am increasing the weights from 22.5pounds to 25pounds for week four of Power 90. This will definitely be a challenge, and I am looking forward to it.
After completing week four next Sunday, I will post new photos and measurements. In addition, I will compare them to my day one measurements of Power 90.
Until next week…
