Before I get to the body of the review, here are a few links which may be of interest.
*This is a review of my initial run of Classic P90x.  Learn of my love / hate relationship with Tony and company.
* This link conveys my thoughts on Insanity after having completed the 60 day program.
*Finally, here…

Ah… I was feeling a bit better today and so did a lot of extra walking and runninng to make up for my lethargy over the past day or so.  In all, I ran / walked approx. 7 km.  After work, I decided to get a haircut.  Seriously, I need to figure out a style. …

Like a lot of people, I was introduced to Beachbody via P90x.  However, last year they released Shaun T.’s Insanity which they billed “as the hardest workout series” ever put on dvd (Shaun T. BTW is the same guy who did Hip Hop Abs).  That kind of advertising seemed like a challenge and so I…

90x Final First Round Review

I figure since I did a mini-review of all the workouts, I’d sum up some final thoughts with regards to the program overall.  First, I’ll go over the basics for anyone reading this and NOT familiar with the premise of P90x.

What is it?
P90x is basically a 90 day boot camp comprised…

Spent another 3 hours at the hospital today.  Wife had a stress test and ultrasound.  Everything went well and the baby is still in her so… yeah.  I hope he can stay in there until at least January… but his safety is first.  So if he decides to come sooner, so be it.
My eating was…

Oh man… woke up at 4 am as this cold is keeping me up.  So damn hard to breathe.  To make matters worse, my wife feels like she is getting sick! Not good for a lady on the verge of giving birth… I hope she escapes the brunt of it.  Spent most of the day…

I spent the better part of today just lying in bed, sleeping, drinking juice, taking medication and sleeping some more.  I hope this all goes away by Christmas eve.  It would suck to have all this great food ready to be eaten not be able to taste much of it because of a heavy head…

Had another hard time sleeping last night.  Throat was sore and dry and I felt like I was getting a small fever and cold.  When I finally fell asleep it was probably around 2.  Got up early to go to another ultrasound and stress test with the wife.  It took over 2 hours as the…

I’m feeling pretty crappy, literally.  I woke up this morning and my throat was sore.  I didn’t sleep very well last night so I was pretty drained.  I think I may be coming down with something.  I hope to God not as I am almost finished P90x and I have gotten this far without any…

Today was a bit of a whirlwind day.  Went to downtown Toronto to take in some of the holiday spirit and crazy buzz of the city during Christmas.  The Eaton Town Center was swarming with last minute shoppers.  Treated myself to lunch down there: 6 inch roast beef Subway sub with baked lays chips (130)…

Wow.  I haven’t done X Stretch in ages.  Last night I felt so stiff that I actually had to have my wife rub A5-35 all over my shoulder blades and spine and lower back.  It helped to a degree but my right shoulder blade is still somewhat sore.  After a day of doing ultrasounds at…

Went to the doctor’s with the wife again today for a stress test.  Afterward, we decided to do a bit of shopping around town just to get the last little bits of Christmas shopping done.  We went to our favorite Japanese restaurant for lunch.  Man, food is so good here and their afternoon menu has…

I think it was because I woke up around 3 last night and couldn’t fall back asleep.  I just kept tossing and turning. Around 4 I decided to just quietly get up and head down stairs and tool around on the computer for a bit.  Went back to bed around 7 but then had to…

Woot!  As the title says… I won’t be seeing this routine for a while as  I plan on taking an extra rest week after week 13 of the program.  That’s the plany anyway.  Wether or not it comes to be is something else.
Because I had it in my mind that this was my “final” Chest…
