Now that I have everything collected, I’m almost ready to start p90x. I decided, since I have a show at the end of the month, I’m going to start with p90x lean for the first phase. After this I’m going to switch to p90x classic phase 1 and go from there. I’m quite excited.

So, I’ve watched the “Bring It” video, which was, honestly, pretty pointless. It says the same things as the book and pushes more of their “product”. Lots of hype, no substance in my opinion.

Then last night, I did my fitness test and initial measurements. Here is the Fitness Test Data:

• Resting Heart Rate: 66
• Pull-Ups: 8
• I skipped the vertical leap for logistical reasons
• Push Ups: 18
• Toe Touch: +5 inches (I’m flexible)
• Wall Squat: 2m5s
• Bicep Curls: Red Band, 50
• In and Outs: 35
• Heart Rate Maximizer:
  • Immediately After: 169
  • 1 minute after: 137
  • 2 minutes after: 116
  • 3 minutes after: 104
  • 4 minutes after: 100

And here are the measurements. I calculated Body Fat percentage using the Navy Method.

• Weight: 160 lbs
• Body Fat %: 15.55%
• Chest: 37.5″
• Waist: 32.5″
• Hips: 35.5″
• Right Thigh: 20.5″
• Left Thigh: 21.5″
• Right Arm: 13″
• Left Arm: 13″
• Neck: 15″
• Height: 5′7.5″

I can’t wait to get started! I’m going to wake up early tomorrow and do my video before my aerial rehersal.

So my p90x package was delivered last night, but I got home way too late to even open it last night.  So I took the books with me to work and read the workout guide.  I skimmed over the Nutrition Guide and it looks like it’s roughly about how I eat already, only I need to increase my calorie intake a bit, so I’ll start working on that immediately.

I still need to get the resistance bands to be able to start the exercises.  I’m going to try to leave work early tomorrow and hit up the store before I go home.  After that, I’m ready to start p90x!  I’ll take the fitness test tomorrow once I get the resistance bands since it looks like I need them in order to start.

I think the hardest thing for me will be balancing p90x with my regular trapeze training, but I hope that won’t be a problem.  I’m also prepping for a show at the end of May, so it might not be the best time to start, but I’ll just have to take a few days off prior to the show so I’m not too sore to perform.

Once I get started, I’m going to start doing video posts.

Wish me luck!
