Working out with P90X: Part 1
Like many people I know, I've tried dozens of different workouts. Some worked, others didn't. After I saw the infomercial for P90X I was inspired and decided to give it a try.

Working out with P90X: Part 2
There are a lot of programs that promise more than they deliver. Very few actually deliver on what they claim. I'm finding out the hard way just how effective P90X is.
-
Working out with P90X: Part 3
Getting started on P90X was rough. There are some complex exercises and movements that I didn't get the hang of during the first week. So, how did week 2 and 3 stack up?
-
Working out with P90X: Part 4
The last three weeks have been tough. Phase One is over now and it's time for a little recovery. Here's how my progress has been going since my last update.
-
Working out with P90X: Part 5
I've been working out with P90X for a month. After last week's recovery period, it's time to get back into a little hard work again.
-
Working out with P90X: Part 6
Progress has been steady over the last few weeks. All the exercises I used to find difficult are getting easier. Time to close out the second phase of this round with another recovery week.
-
Working out with P90X: Part 7
The holidays isn't the best or easiest time to follow the P90X guidelines but I've tried my best. Mix in a little work craziness and things got interesting.
-
Working out with P90X: Part 8
In some ways it's a sad time, in others much happier. My first round of P90X is over. I've changed in a lot of ways over the past three months. Time to take stock on how successful P90X has been for me.

Doing it again: P90X is better the second time
Fitness is addictive for me. When I get in shape, I want to stay in shape. Not too long ago, I finished P90X and I feel great! I'm not resting on my laurels though; I'm going back for more and this time I'm doubling it.
-
Do I keep going or start over?
I don't do a lot of traveling and when I do, they usually aren't long trips. There are two times a year I'm guaranteed to be on trips longer than a week—Christmas and the SXSW festival. SXSW is next week and I'm weighing my workout options.

P90X Round 2 Progress: Day 30-ish
A little more than a month ago, I started my second round of P90X. This is the first, albeit delayed, update on my progress so far. Hopefully this will motivate more people to get up and get active.

The first time through Power 90 (then and now)
I wrote a blog entry right after my first P90 session almost five weeks ago. Now in my second full week (I had some 3-4 session weeks in the interim), I'm looking back on that first post with more current observations.

P90X Round 3: Struggling the first week back
If the title wasn't a big enough clue, the first week back on P90X has been rough. My entire body is sore and I'm finding it difficult to get back into a good routine. It's a nice reality check and puts the next few month into perspective.
-
P90X Round 3: Second week, more setbacks
As it turns out, my second week of P90X wasn't much better than my first week. This is going to be more work than I anticipated. Time to take it up a notch.

P90X Round 3: Weeks three and four
This update is a little late but it's important for me to post — accountability and all that. Now, if I remember correctly, weeks three and four were a bit of a blur and some of the problems I've mentioned previously hadn't been fixed. Despite the setbacks, there were some nice improvements.
