13 days of P90x

Wayne and I just finished our 13th P90x workout. Today was Shoulders & Arms. I think it might be my favorite. The cardio routines are kicking Wayne's butt. But he's sticking with me, the big lug. Yesterday he couldn't believe how I hopped out of bed, bursting with energy and popped a DVD into the machine.

I do have a huge advantage over him. I've been working out for years. Remember Kathy Smith and Denise Austin? (I'm probably dating myself here.) Over the years I worked up to Taebo and then Turbo Jam with Chalene Johnson.

Don't think those workouts are a piece of cake. Far from it. In fact if you're not ready to say yes to the P90x or if you prefer something that gets you kicking and grooving and sweating, you might want to give Turbo Jam a try. Click the icon to the right to check it out. Buy now and get a free pair of weighted hand gloves, just what you need to take your workout to the next level. Wayne bought me a pair for Christmas and I love them. With or without the gloves, Chalene makes the workouts fun. There's a lot of dancing and grooving and sweating while you sculpt and tone your body. And did I mention how many calories you'll burn. If you already have a heart rate meter with the calorie burner you'll be amazed at how effective it is.

All these years of cardio training and kickboxing have prepared my body for P90x. So I'm loving these workouts much more than Wayne. Don't get me wrong, it's a killer workout. I'm just more prepared because of the training I've done to this point.

Hey, whatever works for you. Like Chalene says; Even the mistakes burn calories. Another Chalene quote: If you don't love it, you won't do it. So find something you enjoy. Push play and have fun with it.

Bring it!
