DAY 90 !!!!

Well today is my last day...well tomorrow is official photo day so i suppose then would be the final but i just completed my final workout (Yoga) and have my carb up day ready for photo day tomorrow.

I really couldnt be bothered starting Yoga this morning. I think because i knew it was my last workout and it was also the longest i was hesitant to start. But once i got going it was great. Probably the best Yoga i have done for the whole 90 days. I didnt feel tired i really pushed my self and the poses were all perfect.

Look forward to tomorrow's Photo's so you can all see the work that 90 days has done.

Day 89

ONE MORE DAY !!!! i cant believe its almost over !! it only seems like yesterday that i began this crazy journey which has taught me so much about nutrition, training and lifestyle. i cant wait to begin my own journey.

Any who, today was Core and it was again FANTASTIC !! what a way to finish. i have the best pump, i was feeling great and i finished covered in sweat. soooooo gooood...

Tomorrow is my big carb up day along with my last ever workout for p90x, Yoga X. Bit of a shame it has to end with Yoga but any who, going to go out with a bang none the less.

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 88

Well today was X Stretch which was my last one of these aswell. I was feeling pretty sore and stiff before i started and didnt really have the energy to even do the stretch workout but i pushed play and got through it and now feel 100 times better. The Stretch always seems to make me feel much better.

Tomorrow is core again which i cant wait for and its my last one of these aswell so im really going to push myself as much as possible. Then just Yoga, Carb up and then im finished !!

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 87

Well today was my last Kenpo X and my last fasted workout. Because of this i really pushed myself today. i was in the biggest flop sweat and was drenched from head to toe. This felt great and i really did push myself beyond what i thought i was capable. I used the hand weights again to make sure there was a bit of resistance in the workout and my arms were on fire 10 mins in.

Tomorrow is just a stretch day which will be nice then its back in Core which i cant wait for. I cant believe i only have 3 more workouts and then im finished !!...

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 86

Well today was core synergistics which i LOVE. its a shame its only in the recovery weeks and you dont get to do it more often. It really is a great workout and makes you feel fantastic afterwards. I think its so great because it incorporates a bit of everything so you get a great upper body pump in the chest, shoulders and arms from the lifting and you really burn alot of calories form all the jumping, moving and fast paced interval training that you do.

All in all a VERY successful workout and i am really looking forward to friday which is my last one of these. Tomorrow is Kenpo which is my last Kenpo. Kinda happy about this. Its probbly my second least workout because im not a huge fan of martial arts and stuff so it feels a little dorky.

But all in all and until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 85

Well today is the first day of my final week and my recovery phase for stage 3 !! It started off with Yoga X which went really well today. I was very focused and determined to give it my all. I pushed myself and the moves are all pretty straight forward now. I am smashing crane now and wheel which i am holding for the whole time so im stoked.

Tomorrow is core synergistics which is my favoite workout of the recovery week and i look forward to doing it twice in the week. Im going to lift very heavy and use weights on the push ups to make sure i retain as much muscle as possible on the final week,

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 84 - Week 12 Complete

Well today was X Stretch which was again MUCH needed. i enjoyed just taking care of myself and stretching out my sore muscles. It is now the end of all the lifting and intensive phases. I now only have my recovery week and i am finished !!

Tomorrow is Yoga which will hopefully be a good workout.

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 83

Well today was Kenpo X which was fasted again. And with the lower calorie iet i am really feeling the lack of energy. I still pushed myself but i just didnt have the focus and determination. I think because im all so close to finishing i can see the end and want it to come.

Tomorrow is stretch day which will be much needed and then begins my final week of recovery.

Until then,

BRING IT !

Day 82

Well today marks the last day of Legs and Back and the last Ab Ripper X of the 90 days! They both went alot better than i was expecting. Being on a low carb / low calorie diet i was expecting my energy and strength levels to be low but surprisingly i pumped out more pull-ups than last week with much better form and maintained my weight on squats and lunges while still doing curls and hammers.

Ab Ripper X was good aswell once again i kept up and did over 350 moves. Tomorrow is Kenpo which is again fasted. Its my second last Kenpo.

Until then,

BRING IT !!

Day 81

Well today is day 81. With 9 days to go i have begun a lower calorie, very low carb diet to try and get as much body fat as i can off. i am now around 1800 calories a day which is mostly protein and fat and so far so good.

It was also Yoga X today which was really good. i was extremely focused today and my mental focus was the strongest it has been during Yoga. I really pushed myself and i feel great now. Very relaxed, stretched, calm of mind and ready for tomorrow's Legs and Back. Hopefully the low calorie / low carb diet doesnt affect that workout to much.

Until then,

BRING IT !

Day 80

10 DAYS TO GO !!! im in the final countdown....no more double digits..

Anywho, today was Back and Biceps. Last one ever again. I got the best pump from this workout. largely due to my carb up yesterday which just fill my muscles to their peak. It was fantastic. i pull out the most reps i have ever done and the most pull-ups i have ever done so i am stoked as !!

ARX was great again too. My second last one of these and once again pumped out over 350 core / ab crunch moves. I was again faster than the video :P which was great and i am so pumped and ready. BRING ON YOGA !!

Until tomorrow,

BRING IT !!

Day 79

LAST DAY OF PLYOMETRICS !!!!!

thats a nice little sentence right there !! i think because i knew it was my last i was pretty lethargic and didnt really push myself that hard today. i really dont enjoy that workout to much because its just throwing yourself round aimlessly to burn calories. Sure it does help with agility and balance and coordination and what not but so does doing the beep test and other real word things ... i mean go out and play football...

Anywho that sounds really negitive and it shouldnt, it was still a good workout and at the end of the day if i burnt some calories and fat then i succeeded...

tomorrow is Back and Biceps and im really looking forward to pushing as much weight as possible tommorow for my past one of these.

Today is also carb up day so adleast i can njoy some nice carbalicious meals :P...

Until next time,

BRING IT !!

Day 78

Well today was my last Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout which is a sad thing because i really enjoy this workout. I really pushed myself today and increased the weight lifted on some exercises and the reps on most.

ARX was great today aswell. cant believe i only have two more of those left aswell !! tomorrow is a fasted plyometrics workout which is my last one of these aswell...and to be honest i am pretty happy about this..it is be far my most hated of the intense workouts because it kicks the crap out of me every time.

Tomorrow is also carb up day again so im shooting for 300 grams of carbs to replenish my glycogen stores before i start a 0 direct carb diet for the last 10 days to get as shredded as possible.

Wish me luck and until then,

BRING IT !!
