P90X Completed! What's Next?

Today marks the 90th day of P90X. Overall, we enjoyed the routine and plan to do it again soon. Since many of the routines are nearly an hour long, we are thinking about cutting the routines in half; especially, during the summer when there is so much more to do outside!

So far, Steve has continued to loss weight and his mid-section is toning up. Sherri is maintaining, but would like to see more results and thinks her eating habits are slowing her down.

The last two week of the program was hard to get through. Working out everyday is not easy as it takes a lot of commitment and quite frankly, we just didn't bring it! But, there have been other hurdles we were jumping too: life seemed busier and the body became just plum weary.

If this happens to you please do not get discouraged! If you miss a workout day (or two) - start again, just keep pushing along and don't quit!

The best thing that has happened to us is that we feel better and we can do more! We don't huff and puff walking up stairs nor, when we go for brisk walks. Remember the goal here is to make a life style change for the better. A healthier you, a healthier us!

So, what's next? We are going to focus in on training for the 5k "Race the Reserve" in August. Our plan is to 1) do cardio two or three times a week, 2) attempt to run three miles a day five times a week, and 3) throw in one or two rest days to give the body a break.

Looking forward to seeing what we will accomplish over the next several weeks.
