P90X Round Two Begins Today

Yep, I had pretty good success with round 1 that I thought I’d try it again. Although the original plan was to start over right away, that didn’t happen. So now 3 weeks later and it is time.
So today was spin class for cardio and Chest & Back with Ab Ripper X. I burned about [...]

I Did It! Lost 10% of Body Fat

So my 90 days of P90X and 12 weeks of the Body Challenge ended last week, P90X on Wednesday and Foothills on Saturday. I didn’t win, but I have some good news on my progress to share. I lost 10% of my body fat during the 3 month period of eating healthy (between 1400-1600 calories) [...]
