????

so....I'm still hurting from my ankle injury...not real bad...but not good enough to do plyo yet. I did jog a bit with the guys for a warmup yesterday and it didn't feel good. Hope that it gets better by next week so I can start hitting my workouts head on again. I'm really exicited about insanity. I like pushing myself to new limits. during weights the other day one of my players were doing pullups and did 10 pretty easy. Guys were standing around and bet me I couldn't do 5...(havn't told them I've been working out with p90x:)...I bet them that every pullup after 10 they had to do a 120. they agreed...but if I didn't get to ten I had to 10 120's!!!
well...needless to say I did 17 pullups and they ran afterwards while I stood and smiled...funny thing is ...im almost twice as old as most of them! eating has been a bit off lately..no excuse...just kind have let my eating habits slip a bit...nothing bad though...havn't gained or lost any weight for about 3 weeks now...feel about the same ...hope to push forward and drop down to my 10% body fat during insanity...looking forward to posting about the ups and downs of it:)

back to posting

well I had a great trip to miami, started pre-season, working on 3 master classes at one time, and getting ready for school to start tomorrow!
so needless to say ive been super busy. I have not done p90x for 2 weeks now. Had a really bad ankle sprain from working on the fields and stepping in a big hole. Finally able to walk today without too much pain. Had to take a couple days off .
Just received insanity for a present though! so next monday starts my 60 day journey with it. Please follow along as I tear up my body, learn new things about myself, and continue to follow my journey of being under 10% bodyfat and totally fit!
This week is going to be a week to help finish healing my ankel and circut training at school.
Wish me good luck..

back from vacation!

so I took a little vacation to miami...ate what I wanted...only workout was some abs/pushups in the morning and some walking around. Great vacation and can't wait to do it again. Felt ok with having my shirt off.....might be the first time in my life! Still not ripped yet but I don't look bad:) My parents said they are buying me insanity for a gift so I'm looking forward to getting that in the next few weeks..probably wont start until after season so I can hit it head strong....can't wait ...have heard some good things about it...well back to hitting the workouts hard tomorrow! gotta burn those calories I ate during my small vacation!

new stats

well I have taken 4 days in a row off from hard workouts and just did some light stretching/abs/and jumping jacks for 15 minutes in the morning and after lunch. The main reason is last weeks i really felt my strength and recovery time go down. I have been trying to carb cycle to drop some extra weight so i go two days low carbs (only 1 serving for breakfast) then on the third I add a carb to my second meal. The fourth day i have complex carbs for my first 4 meals ( i have been eating 6 meals a day). Then repeat. WEll with the morning cardio and p90x it was TOO much for my body...have been super tired...heart rate has been up in the mornings so i took a couple days off and am going back to regular eating schedule of 6 meals a day with protein/complex carbs for first 3 meals a day and hten protein and veggies for last two meals a day. Think my body will still continue losing weight and let me push through my workouts this way.
so took my stats after the 4 days off and was amazed to see some results in the last two weeks (its been super hard not checking my weight and measuring my waist!!!) I have seen a decent change in ways clothes fit.
last results I took were
June 22
waist 34
weight 178
body fat 16.66%
with 29.65 lbs of body fat
lean body mass was 148.35

Today
waist 32.25!!!!
172
body fat 13%
22.44 lbs of fat
149.56 LBM
fat loss: -7.21 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!
lean body mass gain: 1.21+
now if those are not results of hard work and p90x I don't know what are! In just a little over two weeks I lost 7 pounds of fat and actually gained a pound of muscle. That is usually pretty hard to do! My goal is to lose 2.25 in of my waist by sept 1...think my body has finally made that jump to a fat burning machine! which is the goal of every person who takes part in the p90x structure!

just saw that Insanity is up for sale! Think im going to get that and see if I can push my self throught it! My players will probably love me when I make them go through some of the workouts with me during preseason! I know they loved the plyometric workout :)

shoulders and arms

worked out late today. Rocked shoulders and arms and followed it with ab ripper x. Felt weak today? Pushed throught the workout but wasn't as strong as usually. Wasn't tired during workout...and got a CRAZY burn inthe muscles which was nice. I have been dropping some weight the past week. I didn't believe my eyes on monday when i weighed in! I'm going ot wait to post my results for right before my trip to miami. My goal for sept is a 30 in waist. if the next few weeks follow the trend of last week then I will hit my goal before miami! im just hoping my last few weeks of not missing a workut and eating well has finally kicked in. A friend of mine says that is how it happend for him. He went several weeks with only losing a pound of nothing and all of sudden in a 3 week span he dropped 12 pounds of 4 in off his waist! what a result. I'm hoping that is what is happening to me. I almost feel thinner everyday! which pushes me hardier in the workouts and helps me stay away from bad foods! can't wait to show everyone my update pics in about 2 weeks! keep coming back to see if I have made a change:)

p90x with a twist

so I don't feel like paying $75 dollars to workout at the gym for 3 months..and since our workout area at the school is being redone....im staying with p90x until insanity comes out...
I however am adding something stuff to it.. 3 days a week of HIIT cardio in the morning...
a typical workout goes like this. 5 min warmup and then 1 min light work...followed by 1 min hard as possible..2 min very light 1 min all out...cont for 12 min...followed by 5 min cooldown/stretch.. and 3 days of the week light cardio up to an hour per session

on monday I did chest and back.....I did my back exercises down stairs and my pushups upstairs...ran up and down the stairs inbetween to push heart rate up. Killed this workout today!!! and that was my second workout of the day!

Tue
went for a light 60 min walk with luca right after lunch. it was nice and lowkey but helped with burning some extra calories.

after dinner rested until 8 and then im going to rock plyometrics !!! gotta love it...
its the one workout I don't look forward to but once I'm done I feel so good aobut myself and glad that I pushed myself through it:)

non-impact week finished!

just finished the recovery week...almost felt like I needed to do something else besides the workouts prescribed! like on xstrectch day..felt i needed to work harder...I also know it is very important to have a recovery week...so I did what was asked and only did the required workouts...cant wait for this week..have 3 full body heavy circut training days...with plyo/yoga/and kenpo x on their regular days.. doing 12 exercises 2x around with a 1 min break between the 12! trying to push my body to the next level and continue to lose body fat.. size 30 waist by sept 1 is my new goal! 3.5 inches to lose ...lets see if that is possible...two months?

great weekend ...dropped the kids off with the parents and took my wife out for a day of relaxing, shopping, and movies...had a good meal out and I would have used to have had a drink...maybe two...finish my whole meal...and have a dessert...
well..I had baked chicken...veggies...corn tortillas (2) and water! no dessert...at the movies...i had a handful of almonds :) what a little change can do:)
