It's more fun with friends

So I know it has been a while since I have posted anything, it just has been a pretty busy few days. This week I finished up the third week of weight training in the second phase of P90X and will be going into recovery week tomorrow. I am pretty excited about it, I like starting the week with Yoga it seems to put me in a pretty good state of mind. I did what I normally do on the last set of workouts for a training phase and really pushed to get the weights and numbers up and for the most part I was able to do that too. The only thing that I am a little disappointed about is I wish I was able to do more pull ups than I can right now. I can do about 2 more than when I started but it isn't as much as I would like. I am exactly one week away from my next set of pictures and can't wait to see what they look like compared to the first two sets of pictures. I can see even more of a difference between how I look today and how I looked just four weeks ago. I am sure that I have said it before but I am going to say it again, P90X really does work and if you come across anyone that tells you it does not they are not putting in the effort it needs or are not sticking to the diet plan. I am sure by now you are wondering what the title of this post is all about so let me tell you. This morning I used my rest day to workout with my wife and do her new Jillian Michaels DVD with her. I am pretty sure that it is called Ripped in 30. It was a really good workout and I was able to get a good burn on some of the moves. I do have to hand it to her she puts a good workout together in a short amount of time. That is a nice change of pace to the hour long workouts you do in P90X and doing this workout made my legs feel a little better. The reason I wanted to check the workout out is because I want to support my wife in her fitness as she has supported me since I started a little over a year ago. One thing I can say is that it is much easier for me to support her than I am sure it has been for her to support me since all these programs I do come along with crazy diet and nutrition plans that she gets to deal with all the time. Another thing that was fun about doing the workout with her today was I think we were really feeding off each other and pushing the other to try harder or to make it to the end of the set. Another great thing about doing it was we were doing the workout in front of our daughter so that she could see just how serious we are about trying to stay healthy and that it does take work not to become another statistic of being fat in the US. Well anyway tomorrow starts my recovery week like I said and I plan to "Bring it" something kind of fierce in the Yoga and really get into the poses and loosen up to get the rest of this soreness out of my legs. This week I plan on getting back to my normal posting routine so you should see something about how it went. One last thing I will say is that I am getting close to thinking about ordering some Yoga blocks to get a little more stretch on the poses since I continue to become more and more flexible but we will just have to wait a little bit and get some new bands that will not snap on me first.
