P90X - Week 4

For those of you who are following our journey, don’t give up on us, we are still around and we are going strong! Steve and Sherri are now in Week 4! Yes, Week 4! Can you believe it?

Week 4 in the P90X program is different than the first 3 weeks because it is considered a rest week. Rest in this case, does not mean “time off” for a job well done. Instead, it means more stretching and more Yoga and no working on your shoulders & arms and legs & back – a slight reprieve, but still a very intense week.

Yoga X is still a challenge for both Steve and Sherri. The one thing we know for sure is that we are not pretzels and we can only bend so far! There are a few moves we are struggling to master, but are confident as we continue to work through the routine we will become more flexible.

Sherri is still struggling to get all of her daily calories in, and absolutely has to find a way to accomplish this before heading into Phase II. With the intensity level naturally increasing in the next phase, more calories will be burned. The last thing she wants is to plateau and start gaining weight. Phase II is similar to Phase I except that one new routine is introduced.

We are pumped up about the end of this week because it means we will have reached our 30 day mark - completion of Phase I. It also means we get to take our 30 day pictures, weigh & measure ourselves, and figure out our body fat. So, in a couple of days we will give our first progress report. Go Primetime Baby Boomers! Let's BRING IT!
