Bring It

So I'm hitting this P90X training regime as part of my new goals for 2009. It's rough, I'm feeling it all over the place!

As to the reasons why I'm doing it? One is for the challenge of seeing if I can maintain this exercise discipline over 90 days. Two is that I had done some personal training before and got told by the personal trainer that it actually is quite good. And looking good isn't too bad a side benefit!

So how have I been going on it? Out of 3 weeks, I've missed probably 2 or 3 sessions. I'm replacing the plyometrics with my normal volleyball game (although I would probably say that volleyball is a lot easier than that plyometrics session!). It's a good mix of weights + using the body as the weight + stretching and ab work. I had one awesome week where I was waking up early to do this stuff, but that kind of ran out of steam pretty quickly :)

I'm quite enjoying doing yoga for the first time in my life, some of those moves are super difficult! I'm sure balancing on one leg whilst twisting and, as Bec puts it "turning into a pretzel" will do something for me flexibility.

Let's see how it goes for another few weeks. Next week is rest week, than goodness!
