2010.03.22 Update!!

Ok!  After being able to complete the Sculpt 1-2 (except WTD!!), Sweat 1-2, and FBE (, and wake up at 4am no problem!) I have decided that I will officially start the normal P90 routine on Monday, 29 March 2010.  I am not going to hold back anymore on the length of the routine.  I am just going to "Press Play and Bring It!!".

This means that I had a 1-month introduction period to adapt my schedule, diet, and get used to the routines.  Now I am going to start in Phase 1 and progress to Phase 4 over the next three months.  Based on how things are going right now, I'm going to do Phase 1-2 for 30 days, and then transition to Phase 3-4 for 30 days.  By Day 62, I will be entirely in the 3-4 routines.

Right now, I plan on keeping the FBE workouts in there as I really enjoy those and believe they have quite a few good workouts in there to supplement the P90 experience.  I'm just as beat after that as I am at the end of Cardio - but with more burn on the muscles from different moves and more medicine ball workouts.  We'll see how it goes!

With this new start point, I will be done by 27 June 2010.  Then I will have a week recovery time before moving into the Master Series program on 5 July 2010.  This is a twelve-week program taking me to the end of September.  From what I've read, that program really prepares you for P90X and also is a great maintenance program for after P90X, having shorter workouts (by about 10 minutes).

Then I should be starting P90X on 4 October 2010 (after another week-long recovery), and finishing it by the end of the year.  It will actually be finished on 2 January 2011, but that's just a Yoga X and X Stretch routine.  Then another week rest, and keep on moving on to P90X+.

I know I have high hopes, but only by setting goals can we achieve the impossible.  So I'm making this pledge to myself today, that by the end of the year, I will have completed my first round of "The X"!!
