I'm totally going through Booty Camp withdraws. I decided not to join for June, July and August in order to save some cash and besides, it'll be too hot and gross (stupid bugs) to work out, outside. Hopefully I will join again in September, but until then, I needed something to do for the next 90 or so days so I don't gain back the 11.4 pounds and 12 inches I lost (since January, yay).
A friend of mine was nice enough to lend me (aka copy) the P90X DVD's! So for the next 90 days I'm going to do my best and forget the rest! The real challenge of this will be to devote at least an hour to working out, 6 days a week. I'll try the cardio DVD's (plyometrics, kempo, yoga and cardio x) but have a feeling that if I slack, it will be with those ones. I'd rather go for a run outside for my cardio then do yet another DVD indoors. But we'll see how it goes....the cardio DVD's are a good back up when it sucks outside for running.
Tonight I did the first DVD, Chest and Back and also Ab Ripper X. I was actually surprised (and relieved) that many of the moves on the DVD were similar to those that I've done in Booty Camp. And wow, can I really crank out the push ups! To think that last fall I could barely do 3 (real ones, not the cheesy lady ones) and now I can do about 25. Ab Ripper X was difficult to say the least but if I stick with it, it can only get easier, right? I also decided not to get a pull up bar and do the variations on the pull ups with resistance bands (since I already have em here)....this guy gave me the great idea of hooking it over my door with a roll of tape, brilliant! Who needs to waster their money on extra equipment when everything you need is in your home. It really is TOO easy to make excuses.
Pull Ups Sans the Pull Up Bar!
Wish me luck!
