Restarting P90X and Committing to the Beachbody Challenge!!!

So I decided to restart P90X this week and have committed to doing the Beachbody Challenge. I am actually on Day 3 now..just finished the Shoulder and Arms workout and am a bit sore but feeling really good. I am coaching a few people through this Beachbody Challenge and even created a Facebook group to keep everyone motivated to complete the challenge with me. If anyone else is interested in joining us for the next 60 or 90 days (depending on the program you choose), I would love to have you on board and to be your Team Beachbody Coach. You can sign up for a free Team Beachbody membership here with me as your coach. Send me an email to coachkimberly (at) dynamafit (dot) com as well stating you're interested in doing the Beachbody Challenge or to just have me as your coach.

Day 1 (Wednesday's workout) was the Chest and Back where I had to do a lot of pull ups/chin ups and push-ups. Still working on my pull-ups as I can do only a few chin-ups and after that need to do assisted ones, but hopefully in 90 days I'll be able to improve with these exercises. I had skipped the Ab Ripper X on Wednesday due to lack of time, but did it yesterday.

Day 2 was the Plyometric workout - mega legs and "jump training". My legs aren't as sore as I thought they would be today, probably because I'm used to doing a lot of kicking and other plyo drills in my Taekwon-do and kickboxing classes. I did the Plyo workout in the morning and then sparred with my Adult Taekwon-do class last night. Great sparring class and we also knocked

out the Ab Ripper X together as a class. Abs are feeling great today.

Day 3, today, was the Shoulders and Arms. I may try to repeat Ab Ripper X again today to get back on track or may just push it to tomorrow's workout along with Yoga X. Who knows, I guess depending on how I feel and what kind of time frame I have tomorrow. The Shoulders and Arms workout went really well today. I was really happy with the reps I did for each exercise. The only thing is I think I need to go buy some 8 lb dumbbells really soon. I have 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s and 25s in my home gym (for shoulders and arms I only use up to the 15s though). It would be great to get some in between weights like the 8s and 12s to challenge myself more on some of the exercises but not make it too difficult.

Anyways, I'm going to juice some more today too. My husband and I got the Breville Juice
Fountain Compact and have been loving it. Previously, we were using the Jack Lalanne power juicer classic. It works great as a juicer, but the cleanup was a pain. It was very messy and inconvenient with all the parts whereas the Breville compact juicer is simple to use and clean up with only a few easy to remove and clean parts. I am probably going to make a carrot, beets and apple drink today and add some Greenberry Shakeology.
