Day Two - Sweat 5-6

That's more like it!

Sweat 5-6 was an excellent session - really tough and i gave it 100% to make up for my weak Sweat5-6 effort yesterday

Sweat 5-6 is a departure from 3-4 in that it introduces new moves and builds on my favourite aspect of 3-4, namely the punching and kicking.

What let 3-4 down was that it was essentially 1-2 just with more reps. Here i can feel new muscles coming into play.

So, Sculpt 5-6 again tonight. I need to lighten my weights a little as the moves are less straight forward. I also need to find a decent chair for the reclined curls as my wicker one was really uncomfortable

See you tomorrow!

Day One - Sculpt 5-6

Stepped up to 5-6 from the P90 3-4 last night:-

PRO:-
Tony obviously has earnt some $$$ since P90 as he now has a proper studio - looks better!
many new moves & variations on 3-4 moves - exactly what i was looking for to reignite my interest
Some of the new moves are killers! the plyo squats at the end especially - i had too sit down after
Tony is still a nutter

CON:-
Don't do when tired - had little energy so only worked at 70% - still got me going
Tony is still a nutter

All in All a good progression from P90 and 3-4.

I still found it a tough session and look forward to tomorrow when i can have another crack.

btw, a lot of people recommend doing P90 before P90X. I second that but also go further... i have followed this process and so far has worked for me:-

30 days -> P90 1-2
30 days -> P90 3-4
(this is where i am. this is the plan from here...)
30 days -> P90 Master 5-6 (Sweat & Sculpt with Ab Ripper 200)
30 days -> P90 Master Full program
then P90X!!

I know i would fail if i started P90X now - just too intense! the P90 and P90M programs give a good build up for strength and muscle memory on the exercises

See u tomorrow

New Beginnings...

God, it's depressing looking back over my blog entries from last year.

Still not reached my goal so giving it another go!

So here I am again; strangely at the same time of year - I must have a 'New Spring Resolution' syndrome.

I have actually been following Power 90 (P90) since early April and I have completed 60 days of the program.

So far it has really improved my strength and fitness but done little for my fatness. This is probably down to the fact that i have not significantly changed my dietary habits. I always suspected that i had an ok diet but I am now of the opinion that since i have been exercising up to 5 days a week at 30 minutes a time and not seeing any major benefits to BMI then my diet must be crap.

I have been doing Sweat3-4 and Sculpt3-4 for the last few weeks but I am now starting to find it really boring.

I have therefore decided to move onto Power 90 Master Series (P90M) - I will be following the classic approach so tonight is Sculpt5-6 (gulp).

I'll let you know how it went tomorrow!

cheers
