P90 Completed, P90X starts today!

I just completed a round of P90. Total weight lost is approximately 14.4 pounds! I'll start P90X today with the Slow Carb diet.

What is “Slow-Carb”?

The Slow-carb diet consists of foods that have a low-glycemic index, such as Shakeology. The glycemic index (GI) factor is a ranking of foods based on their overall effect on blood sugar levels.

How does it work?

With low-glycemic foods your body will break them down slower. This results in stable blood sugar levels (no spikes as there is with white breads and sugary foods). The idea behind the diet is to not count calories and to keep meals simple (but to eat more protein laden foods as they are less calorie dense). You can lose pounds on this diet is 30 days without exercise.

113 Push-ups!! During P90 Sculpt 3-4

I'm very pleased with my P90 Sculpt 3-4 workout today! During the 4 sets I was able to get 113 total push-ups! I've always struggled with push-ups. I'm in my 9th week of P90 with 3 more to go before jumping back into P90X and then Insanity.

• Set 1: Decline Push-ups - 25.
• Set 2: Wide Push-ups - 25.
• Set 3: 7x7x7 (7 wide, 7 narrow, 7 standard), plus 13 wide.
• Set 4: Any form you want (I split this between my weakest). 15 narrow and 14 standard.

 Total: 113!

Of course, this is at 25% body fat and 195.8 lbs! But I started at 6 decline, and only 10 wide. My 7x7x7's I had to drop to knees half way through. The rest were just as bad. 113 after 64 days isn't bad. I'm looking forward to see what I can do when I am 20 lbs lighter!

For Calories Burned: 1047! Avg. heart rate was 158. Peak heart rate was 196.

Keep pushing play everyone!
