p90X...One Day - Ah ah ah! Two Days - Ah ah ah! 90 Days? - ha Ha HA!
















Actually, for me it will probably take more than 100 days to complete the program due to lost hockey days and for discounting my pathetic first week. That means that each 7 day p90X week will take me about 8.5 days in real life.

Regardless, it has now been a month (four weeks, 28 days) since I first started moving my fat ass around more frequently and stopped eating delicious shit like Portillo's and tons of beer. In p90X time, I won't be completed with the third week of the program until this upcoming Sunday or Monday. Once that happens, my routine will undergo its first radical shift. Below is the first schedule that I've been following.


















p90X Classic - Phase One - Weeks 1-3
Day 1 - Chest & Back / Ab Ripper X
Day 2 - Plyometrics
Day 3 - Shoulder & Arms / Ab Ripper X
Day 4 - Yoga X Hot Chick Yoga DVD (Crunch Yoga/Pilates)
Day 5 -Legs & Back / Ab Ripper X
Day 6 -Kenpo X
Day 7 - Rest or X-Stretch

For the final week before transitioning to Phase Two, they have a recovery/core-strengthening week which doesn't appear to have any significant weight training routines. Maybe this will help me shed some of my extra fatty fatty fat weight and will help keep my muscles from growing at such alarming, hulk-like rates.

p90X Classic - Phase One - Week 4 - Recovery (Vacation)
Day 1 - Yoga X Hot Chick Yoga DVD (Crunch Yoga/Pilates)
Day 2 - Core Synergistics (hoping this will help with lower back weakness)
Day 3 - Kenpo-X (low impact cardio)
Day 4 - X Stretch (pussy recovery time)
Day 5 - Core Synergistics
Day 6 - Yoga X Hot Chick Yoga DVD (more pussy recovery time)
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch (even more pussy recovery time)












This damn program is so long, they waste a week of vacation just letting your body recover and getting it ready for some new stuff. Once Week Four is over, I get two new upper-body strength training routines to mix in. Unfortunately, it looks like they still want me to struggle with Ab Ripper X three times a week. My lower back is still keeping me from putting as much effort into the ab workout as I'd like.

Phase Two is also the beginning of a new diet plan that includes more carbs. The new plan will have a 40-40-20 Protein-Carbs-Fat ratio, as opposed to the carb restrictive 50-30-20 plan I've been working towards in Phase One. Exciting stuff coming up here!

p90X Classic - Phase Two - Weeks 5-7
Day 1 - Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps / Ab Ripper X
Day 2 - Plyometrics
Day 3 - Back & Biceps / Ab Ripper X
Day 4 - Yoga X Hot Chick Yoga DVD
Day 5 - Legs & Back / Ab Ripper X
Day 6 - Kenpo-X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch
