It's been 30 days since I first started my P90X adventure and it has been exactly that, an adventure. Though I'm only 1/3 of the way done, I can honestly say it's worth the pain. I am starting to feel better about myself, not only physically, but mentally as well. Having that drive to keep going day after day is increasing steadily and I now find myself craving the burn. Quite honestly the first 2 weeks weren't easy, but it definitely gave me a good work out. The 4th week in the P90X schedule is different than the first 3. It's less hardcore, for a lack of a better word. The workout included: Yoga, Kempo, Stretch, and Core Synergistics. The core synergistics workout was the one that presented me with more of the burn I was looking for, but ultimately I felt that the week was lacking for me. The design of the work out is to have a recovery week, which is usually the last week of each month (or 30 day cycle). But I digress... let's get to what really matters.
Here are the results after 30 days:
DAY 1 DAY 30
LEFT LEG 27.5 inches 22 inches*
RIGHT LEG 27.5 inches 22 inches*
HIPS 37.5 inches 37 inches
WAIST 27 inches 26 inches
LEFT ARM. 10.5 inches 11 inches
RIGHT ARM. 10.5 inches 11 inches
CHEST 34 inches 34 inches
* I'm not quite sure this measurement is correct. There may have been a flaw in the initial measument on Day 1.
This data was obtained by our Bowflex body fat scale:
Day 1 Day 30
WEIGHT 133.8. 130.8
BMI 25.3 24.7
BODY FAT 29.3% 29.2%
BODY WATER. 51.8% 51.8%
MUSCLE MASS 34.4%. 34.7%
VISCERAL FAT 7 6
BMR 1390 cal 1377 cal
As previously mentioned, I did not take Day 1 pictures, I took them on week 3. Therefore the comparative pictures will have to wait until week 7. Until then, let the calorie burning continue!
