What is P90X2?

• Its a 90 day cutting edge fitness program that takes P90X Muscle Confusion (TM) to a new level, focusing on strength, balance mobility and explosive power!
• Its also the most modern thinking in actuality in sport medicine with P.A.P (Post Activation Potentation) Training

How does it work?

• 5 days a weeks as opposed to 6 days a week.  Has 1 day of active recovery.
• Its an evolution to P90X and learning from from it as well as learning from Insanity and Turbo Fire and just take it to a different level! You will be doing push ups on medicine balls ;)
• It focuses on functionality, mobility, flexibility and advance stretching for athletes so that you can push yourself harder without hurting yourself.

The Program Training Phases

Phase I 

Its the Foundation and its 3-5 weeks.  It gets your body ready to tackle phase 2.  During this phase you'll see improvements and move better, you'll feel better and will less likely to get injured.

Phase 2 

In the next 3-6 weeks your will be focusing on Strength.  You'll get stronger through a wider range of motion, you'll get more supple, you'll look good. 

Phase 3

In the last 3-4 weeks you will be focusing on Performance.  You'll jump higher (yes even higher than in Insanity!) run faster, be more explosive, and even have a kid quality bounce to your step :)

Can I do this?

• P90X2 is for people who are in shape, not for a person that hasn't exercised. 
•  Its for Power 90 and P90X grads.  
• Graduates of other "Extreme" programs like Insanity, Asylum, Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme
• Athletes looking to improve performance
• Former athletes wanting to get back in shape

How does it differ from P90X, Insanity and The Asylum?

• Brand new jokes! (LOL) but seriously...
• The three training phases cover more physiological ground 
• P90X2 is more compartmentalized, more focused, more targeted
• P90X2 is training for sport
• Diet Plan is more versatile with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options

How is it Unique? where else do you get functional training, strength training, plyometrics and post-activation potentiation in one program!

its Time to Bring IT....AGAIN!

What fitness program should I do?

Hi guys!
Well as you probably know I haven't been blogging for a while.  I have several excuses!

1.  I am still on Day 18 of Asylum - which is Game Day with Overtime
2.  I've been out! camping and I actually went to Beachbody Coach Summit

Now, I need to get my momentum going again! So I posted on facebook as to what workout program I should do next! I want to do all and that is just not possible! I  can't seem to sit down an commit to just one thing ...well I shouldn't say that,  I did commit to Asylum, so I will be finishing that round. I Just have 13 more days!  As  soon as I am done...what next? that was my dilemma! I got some wonderful ildeas on Facebook.  I do want to do Insanity, but at the same time I am thinking You need to do another round of P90X so that you are ready for P90X2! That is one program that I must do!  So guess what? I need to build strenght, but at the same time I want to keep up with my cardio! plus I still have my 10k training....see my dilemma?  I am like AAAHH! so with the help of my friends I am going to stick with P90X, and on cardio days I am going to incorporate my 10k training runs and stick in some Insanity a couple days a week.   I think I am actually comfortable with that plan!

So now that the crisis is averted and I know what my workout schedule will be, lets talk about the Beachbody Coach Summit.  Let me tell you it was phenomenal! The energy of all the coaches is just undescribable, it was just 2,500 of positive people, it was amazing.  I won't even mention the live workouts....it was just incredible, and as you can tell by my "phenomenals" "amazings" and "incredibles" I am not very articulate in expressing the feelings I got from attending :) I just know that it was a blast and I learned so much and it was just fun all around.  So I do have some announcements!

1.  Beachbody is changing how they do WOWY - so stay tuned! the final prize is 100,000 - how cool is that!

2.  Military Families - beachbody is honoring our military by providing them with a free sign up coach fee and waived monthly fees - NOW THATS COOL! That totally makes me feel proud of the company I am associated with.  Seriously, this is an amazing opportunity for families who are serving our country earn an extra income.  Contact me for more info!

3.  The new Shakeology flavor is here! its TROPICAL - and guess what? its Pink! Taste great.  No official release date, as its currently under the final stages of stability testing (shelf life - its all about quality control)

4.  P90X2! Tony's talk about the process of creating this program is just great...its about performance, and its based on APA method of training....they really did their homework, and its all based on the latest research, this isn't about weightloss, its about performance and really taking your body composition to the next leve. 

I threw lots of info at you, right? sorry...but I am bursting over here with all this info..I need an outlet!

I am loosing my Mojo!

 Okay...I think Iam loosing my mojo.  Mid week of 2/14/11 we all got a stomach bug at the house, it wasn't pretty.  Considering there is 7 of us, and only one bathroom you might see where that might be a problem LOL -  granted Cesar is still on diapers -  it still wasn't pretty to say the least.

Anywho, finally the following week we were ready to roll and the Flu Virus hit our home.  Granted Angel nor I got sick (wonder why? Shakeology maybe?), but all 5 kids did.  The 2 older kids are not demanding.  I don't need to cuddle them any longer (which is kind of sad actually) however the 3 youngest kids (OMG) constant demand, constant whinning, constant hugging.  All you can do at that point is waited out, have the Advil handy, and provide lots of clear fluids.  Needlees to say during the last 2 weeks of February my workouts suffered...my schedule got off, I was stressed out and not being able to workout did not help.  I admit I did over do it with the eating. 

I decided to recommit myself and to restart week 5, day 1 of P90X this Monday (2/28/11).  However, I wasn't (and still not) bringing it.  Based on the numbers I am not doing as many pushups...my my mind has been going a bit "wild" I've been scattered to say the least, I missed biceps last nght.  I just haven't been able to get back into our routine.  I am not waking up early to get my Turbo Fire in (at least not consistently) The kids are not going to bed, watching Oobi, while I am working out.  Where is my groove? where is my mojo? I WANT IT BACK! good thing is that I realized this before it really gets out of control.  I've come to realize that when life happens, I can't start complaining about it.  If I realize there is a problem, then I should fix it.  So I am participating in this 3k push up challenge by the end of the month.  I am actively looking for runs to register and train for later in the year.   I still need to get every one back on track, and going back to my regular scheduled routine but I know this and I am working on it.  As Tony says do your best and forget the rest...Pure Wisdom I tell you :)

Do you have the Eye of The Tiger?

Do you have the Eye of Tiger? Lol...My obsession with Rocky Balboa is not a recent development because of my new path of conquering my yo-yo/weightloss issues.  I've always been drawn to these type of movies.  The 1st Rocky movie I ever saw was Rocky III...I was pretty young...about 5 or 6 years old.  I was too young to understand why I loved it, I just did.  I am not sure which movie I saw first, but I was also obssessed with the TV movie on Nadia Comaneci  but I just couldn't get enough of these two.  Everytime Nadia came on TV on channel 44 I would suspend my play time just to go watch it, and I would jump on the sofa and try to do floor gymnastics in my living room floor while watching the movie.  My love for these type of movies has just been a part of me for a very long time.  I couldn't get enough of the Karate Kid when I was growing up.  I have a lot of movies that have a similar message that I just love, like Lean on Me, Stand and Delivery...even the 90's movies like Dangerous Mind and the Last Dance.  And yes even 8 mile, although I am not an Eminen Fan! but everytime I hear the opening lyrics of the song Loose Yourself  it gives me the shivers and it just  pumps me up!  The theme of going the distance and ever giving up...well all I can say is that I just love that message!  As I read my current personal development book (Awaken the Giant) I finally understand why I am drawn to these type of movies and music.   Its about Self Mastery.  Something I've always strived to achieve even when I didn't realize it! As a young latina mom, I was one of the statistics that wouldn't graduate high school, and guess what I not only graduated but heck I even went to college.  Now I am following a new path that I've never walked before.  All of a sudden I am doing things out of my comfort zone.  Its definetly scary! I am just soaking up all these movies and yes the cheesy songs that make believe that I can do more, that I can achieve more.  As parents we tell our kids that they can dream big, that they can do anything they set their minds too...no matter how much I might tell my kids this, if I am not following my own advice it just doesn't carry the same weight.  So...are you ready to take your steps towards what you want, whatever that might be?  You might be focus on something, but if you your steps are going in another direction while your wishfully thinking on something else you won't truly feel satified.  So go for it! Don't over think and take that 1st step that might just change your quality of life.

Shoulders and Arms - P90X

I am actually following the P90X classic Schedule!  Well I shouldn't get too ahead of myself :)  Last night I did Shoulders and Arms.  Great work out.  The rounds went, shoulders, triceps and biceps....each round was done twice.   It was about 55min workout.  It felt good.  My arms are sore today..I kinda like that feeling although it makes it difficult to reach for stuff.  They say Tony is corny...I can see that, but he is genuine and he makes me laugh...thus the workouts don't seem that long.  Well, except for Yoga X...and that is whats on the schedule tonight.  Not sure that I can handle a hour and half worth of extreme yoga poses...so my plan is to chicken out of Yoga X tonight and instead put in Rodney Yee's Beginner Yoga DVD.  I will do the the Pose Guide and the Evening Yoga workout.  That should be about 35min or so.  I am also going to add some Turbo Fire!  this morning I was able to add Turbo 45so I  am thinking I should go for the HiiT 20 tonight.  I guess I should do the HiiT first then Yoga do unwind :)

My Mud Run training is coming along.  I need to walk on more "hilly" loops.  I am only doing the 5k, so I am not worried about the jogging part, but I am Excited ( i refuse to use the word scared) about the actual Mud and drills, and obstacles! I am thinking it should be fun, and something I need to do for myself.  Its something that I never thought I would do.  If I do this I  know I can do more....so I am determine to do it!  The family and I decided to arrive on the 30th, campout, and I get to go pick up my number.  Then the next day its the run!  I won't be able to stay long after it, as we need to drive back home for our Halloween Stravaganzza, but I am just happy the husband and kids are coming with me and cheering me on! it should be a very fun weekend. 

So here I go...I am heading home and putting my workout plan to action!
