Ok, we're a little behind here on this P90X blog thing, but we need the support!!! You're probably going to be hearing most from me, because I have a little more free time than Rob does. Anyway, I'm Barbara, and my husband Rob and I got started on P90X through the advice of our very good friends Ken & Alana Price!!! When Rob got Ken's email about the program, he was immediately interested. He works crazy hours, and it's been very hard for him to get to the gym or do any kind of wirkout on a regular basis. He loved the idea of having something he can do at home when his schedule allows, and having Ken follow him was just the extra motivation he needed. Not to mention Ken's before and after pictures..... and add to all this the fact that we'll be travelling out to CO to see the wonderful Price family in June - and Rob wants to look like Ken!!!!! As for me, I'm a stay-at-home mom (yea!!!), sp I have more time to work out, and I had been doing a boot camp thing through the gym we belong to here, and it was fun, but we were coming to the end of the seeion, so Rob asked if I would do P90X with him. Again, some extra motovation, and some extra time for us to spend together - so I said yes.

WOW!!!!! We are now in week 6, and we are loving this thing! I thought I was in pretty good shape, but I could not do more than 1 pull-up, and Rob could only do about 5. He's never really been overweight, but wanted to build some muscle in his upper body, and tighten up his abs. I'm still working on the classic women's area of hips and butt. But we are really seeing some results!!! I have to admit, I like the non-weight lifting workouts best - give me Plyo, Core Synergistics or Yoga any day! Rob is all into the push-ups and pull-ups - although he's definitely getting better at the Yoga. I also ABSolutely LOVE the ab-ripper X workout - up to 375 exercises today!

So today is day 1 of our week 6 - Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. We both did so much better on this one this week - last week was the first time we'd done it, and it always takes (me, at least) doing it once so you know what you're doing before you can really go for it. But you know you've had a good workout when you can barely raise your arms to wash your hair in the shower after it's over.... :)

Looking forward to meeting everyone - Thanks Coach Ken, for motivation us!!!
