My opinion

Just my opinion

That's right I am a Beachbody Coach, but that does not mean I am going to hold back my opinion of the program...you get what you put into it and you should understand what I put in and what I get out.  I have a full time job, wife, two teenage daughters, a dog and a Guinea pig, so I understand the time it takes to get fit and healthy.

 

 

 

 

What about Nutrition?

P90X3 came with a nutrition guide.  Love it, because it does not have you counting calories, it has you counting food.  What, the what?  He is calling it "Intuitive Eating" eat good food , drink water, cut the junk and listen to your body.  Now that doesn't mean to go crazy and eat everything just eat what you need to in order to keep your energy up and going.  Supplements are also mentions, I love me some Shakeology, I did a blog about that already...click here...and I am using that as a mid morning or breakfast meal.  I am also taking the Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout Formula (a.k.a. E&E) because of the early morning workout, I need a jump start. 

 

Why P90X3 and When

Need to make the time
 

 

I looked a the program a lot and chose it because I enjoyed doing P90X, back when it was new. So the idea of shortening those hour long workouts into 30 minutes to fit my schedule was awesome!  I just needed to find the time, mornings I think will workout great, up at 6:20 am to get the kids moving and lunches prepared, get them off to school and it will allow me the chance to get in a 30 min workout, shower and off to start my work day.  I find if I don't do it first thing it gets pushed off, so starting it first thing is rockin!

 

Week 1 Day 1 The Synergistic Workout

Today was the Total Synergistic workout, a total body exercise program.  We did Pull-ups, planks, ab work, bicep work, core, legs, OMG we hit it all in 30 Minutes, with a 1 minute 45 second cool down.  We needed dumbbells or bands, a pull-up bar (bands with a door attachment could have worked too), and a soft surface to land on when plyo working.  Overall the time went fast, super fast, it was great.  Looking and seeing the time pass was great, you can do anything for a minute right?  I did find a couple exercises needed some work to get down, but its day 1, uno, first, the beginning, of course I cannot be expected to do it all on the first day!  But it is possible, just needed a break during some ab work and coordination to get the side rise punch down.  Side rise punch, think side plank with a dumbbell to reach up and over.  When I look back at the Half-Hour, I may bot have brought it all, I reserved, it was the first time, but I wrote it down and I will increase and bring it harder next time!
