Today was Plyometrics. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
A great plyo day. I sweated my butt off. The fact that we turned the heat on in the house did not help the cause. I was wiped out when I was finished to the point that I had to lay down for a minute.
The rest of the day did not go well from a diet standpoint. I ate a ton of food. Nothing really bad, just a lot at night. I was hungry, add a few glasses of wine to that and I was probably close to 3000 calories. My ratios were most likely still good, but just way too much food.
Back on track tomorrow!
In good health,

Back To Pool
Today was 1-on-1 Yoga with a ½ mile swim. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Today I tried a new 1-on-1 yoga called patience. I have to say it is my new favorite yoga to do. It is about 35 minutes in length and consists mostly of vinyasa’s. The time goes by very quickly. During the yoga, I noticed my shoulders were pretty sore. This could only mean that my swim had potential of absolutely sucking.
The swim. This was my first time back in the water since my last triathlon of the season. It felt like it. I was so tight in the beginning and my shoulders were killing me, as well as my chest. Finally about ¾ of the way into the workout I loosened up. I finished strong. It was good to get back in the pool.
The problem I face now is that there is no way I am doing legs and back tomorrow. I need to give the shoulders a rest. I am going to flip flop it with my plyo workout.

Last Shoulders of Phase 1
Today was Shoulders and Arms with Ab Ripper X. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Almost finished with phase 1. Today was a great workout. I went as heavy as possible and pumped out as many reps as I could. My increases were small, but effective. After I was halfway through, my arms were really feeling it. By the time I was done, I could barely lift my arms. My left arm was the worst. I was having a hard time holding the weight it was so burnt.
I will be hurting for a while. I think my shoulders are going to be the worst. I really worked them hard today.

5 Miler
Today was Run 5 miles and Ab Ripper X. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Great day for a 5 mile run. Weather was nice and cool. Again I felt very strong. There is really not much to talk about today other than I had to switch my schedule around. Plyometrics has been pushed until Friday.
I did Ab Ripper when I got home from work.
Short and to the point. Sometimes that happens.

Three Day
Workouts were Basketball, X Stretch, Chest and Back. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
I have had a few busy days at work, so I am going to talk about the past 3 days. Luckily there is not much to discuss since basketball and stretch days were involved. I will also average out my food for the three days. Speaking of food, my intake has been fairly consistent. This is good to see early in my program.
Friday morning hoops. This was brutal given the fact I worked until 1:30am. That being said, my jump shot was even more non-existent this week. I still played hard defense and gave my best effort. I burnt some good calories.
Saturday was X Stretch day which I took a pass on. I was wiped out from another late night of work on Friday and did not feel like doing anything but try to catch up on some sleep.
Chest and Back was a little rough this week. My goal was to increase by a couple in each of the exercises, which I did. The issue I had was that I did not feel my best. I felt like every exercise was a struggle. I know it was probably due to my lack of sleep. This made for a very bad workout. I increased in all push-ups by 2-4 reps and all pull-ups by 2 reps. My weight was increased during lawnmovers by 5 lbs. All others stayed the same.
I was unable to fit in Ab Ripper X due to my daughter’s birthday, but I will hit it tomorrow. Things are going to be switched around a little bit this week to accommodate my schedule. Swimming is going to replace Friday’s basketball.

Pull
Today was Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Time for one of my favorite workouts. My plan was to try and increase my pull-ups by 10 and keep the weight used for my legs at 20. Next week, bump it up to 25 lbs.
I started of feeling good and rested. Leg exercises were great. I felt really strong and knew it was time to increase the weight I used. Lunges were feeling exceptionally strong. These are usually my week point.
Pull-ups are also improving rapidly. I went from 80 last week to 95 this week. Next week I will be looking to crack the 100 mark. I really have not had any issues so far. Things are going very smooth.

Perfect Weather
Today was Tony’s 1-on-1 yoga and a 5 mile run. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Another yoga run double dip. I started off with yoga in the morning. My body was not as sore, but I was a little tired this morning. I went through the moves with coffee in hand. I felt good when I was done. A lot more flexible then when I started.
It was a perfect day for a 5 mile run. Nice cool temperatures. I could have easily gone an additional 5 miles. Cadence felt good. Legs felt fresh. Everything was smooth. When I was finished, I did a nice 10 minute stretch and called it a day. Hopefully the weather stays like this a few more weeks. I love running in the fall
Diet
Low intake today. I wanted to make a point on the carbs. Most of my carb intake is fruit and vegetable. I only have 1 starch per day.
Calories – 1200
Carbs – 168g (60%)
Protein – 92g (33%)
