P90X Workout Review

The third day of the 2010 Beachbody Coach Summit was not going to be as action packed as the first two. No workouts today. Only a couple hours of speeches and business building techniques. It all got started with a speech from Tony Horton. His speech was going over his "11 Laws."

1. Variety - Be creative, curious, and committed. Change up your workouts and activities by doing cardio, resistance, weight training, yoga, core, and sports. (Sounds a lot like P90X huh)
2. Consistency - The more you do the better you get.
3. Intensity - The training begins when you can't do anymore.
4. Purpose - Tony's is better health, improved fitness, quality of life, right plan for the future.
5. Reality - Truth will set you free.
6. Sport - Go outside and play.
7. The Plan - Create accountability. Plan 30 days in advance. "Make a appointment for a better life."
8. Stress & Sleep - Choose wisdom and forgiveness over anger and blame. Write your issues down before you go to bed so you can tackle it tomorrow.
9. Love it or leave it - Fitness or in life.
10. Flexibility - Fountain of youth.
11. Food & Supplementation - You are what you eat.

Tony mixes in health and fitness along with life in his 11 Laws. The ones I struggle with are 3, 7, and 11. I workout at least 4 days a week when I'm not doing a program along with the sports I play but getting intense has never been apart of my identity. I don't plan that much anymore and what I do plan I tend to forget about it. I eat really good but I tend to over eat.

The next speaker was Craig Holiday. He was hired as

Day 2 started exactly how I thought it was going to. I woke up at 5 am after getting 4 hours of sleep because of the time change. I was "feeling it" a little from the Diamond Coach party yesterday but knew the best remedy for that would be an hour long Insanity workout with Shaun T at 7am.

The room they had us set up in was a bit small and was hot. I knew sweat was going to be flying around every where once we got started. I told my buddy Gianni to be ready for this one as he's never done Insanity before. Upon getting started I could tell that he was like "really?" He told me he almost passed out during the warm up. Insanity is no joke.

The workout ended up being a lot of fun as Shaun T got us working out in groups trying to challenge each other to do as many "high knees" as we could for a minute each along with a drill where one person stays in a "plank push up" for a minute while the other person jumps laterally over that person. Nobody was stepped on so that's cool. Anything that I was feeling from the night before had been sweated out for sure. Look at how dark my shirt is from the sweat. Here are some photos from the workout session.
