Getting Started

Success takes determination, discipline, and sacrifice…

So, here is my workout plan for week one on P90X lean:

Day 1: Core Synergistics 44 min work out

Day 2: Cardio X 44 min work out

Day 3: Shoulders and Arms 60 min work out Plus Ab Ripper X 25 min work out

Day 4: Yoga 93 min work out

Day 5: Legs and Back 59 min work out Plus Ab Ripper X 25 min work out

Day 6: Kenpo 56 min work out

Day 7: Rest and Stretch work out 58 mins

I work full time from 8 am – 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday and I have a family so there will have to be sacrifice in order to make this plan succeed. I am going to need to wake up at 5 am every morning in order to get my workout, bible reading/prayer time, and a shower in.
