P90X Workouts WORK! Lean Version Schedule

P90X is a workout program that I started doing March 2009. I completed my 90 days of workouts in June 2009 and was very pleased with the results. The first time I did P90X, I did the Lean version and though I love the classic version that I did during the summer, I have found that the lean version works best for me and so I have decided that today is the day for me to start back again! This month started out super busy and so once again, I am starting the last week of January to work out.  I plan to start the lean version stay on the lean one for the full 90 days and then do the classic schedule of work outs after I complete this.


I typed out the schedule below because I have lost this schedule several times and could not find it online again without buying it. I have several friends I have met online who also lost their copy and today is the day we are starting it. I picked P90X to start with. What are the rest of you gonna do to start this year off  to a great start towards physical health? Please post about it in your blogs.  The schedule for the Lean Version starts like this:

Last week I received a email from Beachbody.com regarding the benefits of P90X. Also, last week on Good Morning America, they rated the P90X program at a B+  It really works if you work it. Here is a link to the article

Yesterday, my husband and I started our "Latin Dance" class and it was so fun! My husband is Rythmatically challenged (I told him there is no such word as Rythmatically but, he liked the sound of that better than my stating he is rhythmless LOL). We took the class with some of our friends and it was fun and crazy. I can feel the rythm and I love to dance but, when you are learning to do the "Salsa" and the person leading finds it hard to "feel" the music, it causes a funny scene in the class for sure LOL. We practiced for an hour after we got home and he is MUCH better. We will practice a couple of times every day because we will learn a total of 4 dances all together.
