P90X | Week 1
Plyometrics
Reps + Routine: 100%
Nutrition/Eating Log

Surprised myself today -- nailed the super-cardio Plyometrics routine hitting on all cylinders.

Really excited to be re-focused on an excellent 90 days with good ol' P90X -- Tony Horton, you da man. I'm bringing it, pushing play, and pushing the weakness out of this body.

Also started tracking my food intake -- basically can take in 2,200 calories on the day I'm working out as a max, focus on protein as the larger % overall. Details will always be in the header for the next 90 days as Nutrition/Eating Log.

Onward with the short week -- raining here, really need to get outside to shoot some video!


Caption: Dear Tim, Tony Horton here. You rock. Keep pushing play. Five rounds = you get a signed One on One DVD. Enjoy! -- Tony

Yup.

One of Tony's past blog posts here, lots of truths in here and serious food ;) for thought:

Food. It's that thing that's killing you, slowly.

Fitness won't solve your problems. Getting free of your food addictions will. When it came to healthy living, exercise for regular people is relatively new. The average Joe and Joanne didn't really start exercising until the 50s and 60s. Guys like Joe Weider and Jack LaLaine started the revolution after WWII and it's been growing (too slowly) ever since. As the obesity trends began to rise in the 70s, jogging and nautilus became more popular. During this time various companies were selling goofy ways to lose weight. For some reason we quickly forgot that eating whole foods was the key to maintaining our weight. As food became more processed over the the past few decades we used other processed foods to help us lose weight. It was (and still is) a vicious cycle of addiction. The gain, lose, gain epidemic continues. I read a funny blurb the other day which clearly and plainly stated that if you avoided food with mascots you'll lose weight. Goodbye Count Chocula! Our grandparents didn't have gym memberships, spinning classes and fitness DVDs. They ate healthy whole foods and spent four times more time outside than we do. If your grandparents were obese it was a novelty for sure. Our behavior and habits put food-porn companies in business and we also have the power to destroy them by not eating their poison.

You control what goes in your mouth, no one else. Find ways to make healthy whole food taste good and eat it. Period!

With Love and compassion,

Tony Horton
